Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as "pachinko machine"), which is a type of gaming machine, will be described in detail based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pachinko machine 10, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the main configuration of the pachinko machine 10. As shown in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 2, the structure in the game area PA of the pachinko machine 10 is abbreviate | omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 10 has an outer frame 11 forming an outer shell of the pachinko machine 10 and a gaming machine main body 12 rotatably attached to the outer frame 11 in the forward direction. . The outer frame 11 is configured by connecting wooden plate members to four sides, and has a rectangular frame shape. The pachinko machine 10 is installed in the game hall by fixing the outer frame 11 to the island facility. In the pachinko machine 10, the outer frame 11 is not an essential component, and the outer frame 11 may be provided on an island facility of the game hall.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the gaming machine main body 12 includes an inner frame 13, a front door frame 14 disposed in front of the inner frame 13, and a back pack unit 15 disposed behind the inner frame 13. ing. The inner frame 13 of the gaming machine main body 12 is rotatably supported relative to the outer frame 11. In detail, the inner frame 13 is pivotable forward with the left side as the pivoting base end and the right side as the pivoting tip side in front view.

  A front door frame 14 is rotatably supported by the inner frame 13 and can be pivoted forward with the left side as a pivoting base end and the right side as a pivoting tip side in a front view. In addition, the back pack unit 15 is rotatably supported by the inner frame 13 and can be rotated backward with the left side as the rotation base end side and the right side as the rotation tip end side in a front view.

  In addition, the gaming machine main body 12 is provided with a locking device at its rotating tip, and has a function to lock the gaming machine main body 12 against the outer frame 11 so as not to be opened, and The door frame 14 has a function of locking the inner frame 13 so as not to be opened. Each of these locked states is released by performing an unlocking operation on the cylinder lock 17 provided exposed on the front surface of the pachinko machine 10 using an unlocking key.

  Next, the configuration of the front side of the gaming machine body 12 will be described.

  The inner frame 13 mainly includes a resin base 21 whose outer shape is substantially the same as the outer frame 11. A substantially elliptical window hole 23 is formed in the central portion of the resin base 21. A game board 24 is removably attached to the resin base 21. The game board 24 is made of plywood, and the game area PA formed on the front of the game board 24 is exposed to the front side of the inner frame 13 through the window hole 23 of the resin base 21.

  Here, the configuration of the game board 24 will be described based on FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of the game board 24. As shown in FIG.

  The inner rail portion 25 and the outer rail portion 26 are attached to the game board 24 so as to partition a part of the outer edge of the game area PA, and the inner rail portion 25 and the outer rail portion 26 guide means Guide rails are configured as. The game balls fired from the game ball launch mechanism 27 (see FIG. 2) attached below the window holes 23 in the resin base 21 are guided to the top of the game area PA by the guide rails.

  Incidentally, the game ball firing mechanism 27 includes a firing rail 27a extending toward the guide rail, a ball feeding device 27b for supplying game balls stored in an upper tray 55a described later onto the firing rail 27a, and a firing rail 27a. And a solenoid 27c, which is an electric actuator that causes the game ball supplied to the control unit to shoot toward the guide rail. By rotating the firing operation device (or operation handle) 28 provided on the front door frame 14, the solenoid 27c is driven and controlled, and the gaming ball is fired.

  The game board 24 is formed with a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in the front-rear direction. Each opening has a general winning portion 31, a special electric winning device 32, a first actuating device 33, a second actuating device 34, a through gate 35, a variable display unit 36, a special drawing unit 37, a drawing unit 38 and a round display portion 39. Etc. are provided respectively.

  Even if the ball enters the through gate 35, the payout of the game ball is not executed. On the other hand, with regard to the general winning portion 31, the special power winning device 32, the first actuation device 33, and the second actuation device 34, when the ball is generated, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Specifically, with regard to the number of winning balls, when entering the first actuating device 33 occurs, the payout of three winning balls is executed, and entering the second actuating device 34 occurs. In the case where the payout of one winning ball is executed and the entry to the general winning portion 31 occurs, the payout of 10 winning balls is executed and the entry to the special electric award device 32 occurs. If it is determined, 15 prize balls will be paid out.

  The number of prize balls is arbitrary. For example, although the number of prize balls in the second actuation device 34 is smaller than that in the first actuation device 33, the specific number of prize balls may be different from the above. The number of winning balls may be the same between the first actuating device 33 and the second actuating device 34, and the second actuating device 34 may have a larger number of winning balls than the first actuating device 33.

  In addition, an out port 24a is provided at the lowermost portion of the game board 24, and game balls which did not enter the various winning ports etc. are discharged from the game area PA through the out port 24a. Further, on the game board 24, a large number of nails 24b are implanted to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game balls, and various members such as a windmill are disposed.

  Here, entering the ball means that the gaming ball passes through the predetermined opening, and not only the aspect of being ejected from the gaming area PA after passing through the opening, but also from the gaming area PA after passing through the opening Also included is an aspect of continuing the flow of the game area PA without being discharged. However, in the following description, the general winning portion 31, the special power winning device 32, the first actuation device 33, the second actuation device 34, and the through gate 35 are clearly distinguished from entering the gaming ball into the out port 24a. The entry of the game ball to the is also expressed as a winning.

  A variable display unit 36 is provided so as to include the central portion of the game area PA. Due to the peripheral edge of the variable display unit 36 projecting forward of the pachinko machine 10 beyond the surface of the game board 24, an area is defined in which the game balls fired in the game area PA can flow down. More specifically, the upper area PA1 which is an area above the predetermined height position of the variable display unit 36 in the game area PA, and the upper area PA1 are continuous with the upper area PA1 below the variable display unit 36. A left area PA2 which is an area on the left side, a right area PA3 which is an area which is continuous with the upper area PA1 below and which is an area on the right of the variable display unit 36, a left area PA2 and a right area PA3 On the other hand, it is divided into a lower area PA4 which is a lower area than the variable display unit 36, which is continuous below the area.

  When the player operates the firing operation device 28 with the first range of rotation amount less than the reference rotation amount as the first firing operation, the game ball is on the left side of the lateral center position in the upper area PA1. Flow out. In this case, the gaming balls flow down in the order of the upper area PA1 → the left area PA2 → the lower area PA4. On the other hand, the player operates the launch operation device 28 in the second range of rotation amount equal to or greater than the reference rotation amount as the second launch operation, so that the upper side area PA1 is more to the right than the lateral center position. The game balls run off. In this case, the gaming balls flow down in the order of the upper area PA1 → the right area PA3 → the lower area PA4. That is, the player can play the game ball to flow down the left area PA2 of the left area PA2 and the right area PA3 by adjusting the turning operation amount of the launch operation device 28, and the right area It is possible to play the game so that the game ball flows down PA3. Incidentally, when the operation of the firing operation device 28 is performed with the maximum amount of rotation, the gaming ball flows down in the order of the upper area PA1 → the right area PA3 → the lower area PA4.

  The first actuation device 33 is installed in the lower area PA4. The first actuating device 33 is opened upward, and no member such as an open / close member for blocking the game ball from entering the first actuating device 33 is provided. And, in the situation where the game ball is fired in the same manner, the winning probability to the first actuation device 33 is constant without depending on the game state. In other words, in the first actuation device 33, the game balls that flow down the game area PA toward the first actuation device 33 can always enter the game.

  In the first actuation device 33, a first special drawing detection sensor 33a capable of detecting a game ball winning in the first actuation device 33, and a game ball winning in the first actuation device 33 are detected The second special drawing detection sensor 33b that can be used, and the passage area that continues to the detection range of the first special drawing detection sensor 33a, and the second special drawing detection sensor 33b And a ball sorting mechanism 33c for sorting to any of the passage areas continuing to the detection range of The ball distribution mechanism 33c is provided on the upstream side of the detection range of the first special drawing detection sensor 33a and the detection range of the second special drawing detection sensor 33b in the flow-down path of the gaming ball winning the first actuation device 33. It is done.

  The ball distribution mechanism 33c is not an electric drive, but is mechanically driven by an external force received when the gaming ball that has won the first actuation device 33 abuts, and is mechanically driven toward the detection range of the first special view detection sensor 33a. Is switched to one of the state of deriving the game ball and the state of deriving the gaming ball toward the detection range of the second special drawing detection sensor 33b. Specifically, when the ball sorting mechanism 33c is in the first sorting state, the passage continuing the gaming ball that has won the first actuation device 33 into the detection range of the first special view detection sensor 33a It is led out to the area, and when it is in the second distribution state, the gaming ball which has won the first actuation device 33 is led out to the passage area continuing to the detection range of the second special drawing detection sensor 33b. The ball distribution mechanism 33c continues the game ball to the detection range of the first special view detection sensor 33a by the game ball that has won the first actuating device 33 coming into contact with the first actuating device 33 in the first distribution state. It is switched from the first distribution state to the second distribution state by being led out to the passage area and receiving the force of the gaming ball. In addition, the ball distribution mechanism 33c brings the game ball to the detection range of the second special view detection sensor 33b by the game ball that has won the first actuation device 33 coming into contact with the second distribution state. As a result, the second distribution state is switched to the first distribution state by receiving the force of the game ball. Therefore, the game ball that has won the first actuation device 33 is detected by either the first special drawing detection sensor 33a or the second special drawing detection sensor 33b, and is detected by the first special drawing detection sensor 33a. And the situation detected by the second special drawing detection sensor 33b are basically alternately repeated.

  However, depending on the state of the ball distribution mechanism 33c, a plurality of gaming balls may be continuously derived to one of the detection range of the first special drawing detection sensor 33a and the detection range of the second special drawing detection sensor 33b. It can happen. In addition, the switching of the operating state of the ball distribution mechanism 33c is not limited to the configuration generated by the force of the gaming ball, and the ball distribution mechanism when the gaming ball is detected by the first special view detection sensor 33a. The ball distribution mechanism 33c is switched so that the ball distribution mechanism 33c is switched to the first distribution state when the game ball is detected by the second special view detection sensor 33b while the 33c is switched to the second distribution state. May be electrically driven.

  The first special drawing detection sensor 33a and the second special drawing detection sensor 33b are electrically connected to a main control device 60 described later. The main control device 60 grasps the presence or absence of winning of the gaming ball to the first actuation device 33 based on the signal received from the first special drawing detection sensor 33a or the second special drawing detection sensor 33b. The gaming ball having won the first actuation device 33 is discharged to the back side of the game board 24 after being detected by either the first special drawing detection sensor 33a or the second special drawing detection sensor 33b.

  The first actuator 33 is disposed immediately below the stage 36 a formed on the variable display unit 36. Further, an introduction port 36b is provided on the left side portion of the variable display unit 36, and the variable display unit 36 is formed with a guide passage (not shown) for guiding game balls entered into the introduction port 36b onto the stage 36a. It is done. The gaming ball which has flowed onto the stage 36a through the guiding passage and which is discharged from the central portion 36c in the lateral direction of the stage 36a to the outside of the variable display unit 36 tends to win the first actuation device 33 ing.

  The position where the first actuating device 33 is provided in the lower area PA4 is a position where the gaming ball which has flowed down the left area PA2 can enter, and the gaming ball which flows down the right area PA3 can enter It is in position. Thus, the firing operation device 28 is operated such that the gaming ball flows down the left area PA2, and the firing operation device 28 is operated such that the gaming ball flows down the right area PA3. Even if there is, the winning of the first actuation device 33 is possible. However, since the introduction port 36b which enables the game ball to flow into the stage 36a is provided only on the left side of the variable display unit 36, the firing operation device 28 operates the game ball to flow down the left area PA2 The winning of the first actuation device 33 is more likely to occur when the firing operation device 28 is operated such that the gaming ball flows down the right side area PA3 in the case of being done. In addition, it is not limited to this, and when firing operation device 28 is operated so that gaming balls flow down left side area PA2, and firing operation device 28 operates so that gaming balls flow down right side area PA3 In either case, the probability that a winning on the first actuating device 33 occurs may be the same or substantially the same, so that the game ball flows down the left area PA2 When the player is operating, a winning on the first operating device 33 may occur, while the first operating device 33 is operated when the firing operation device 28 is operated such that the gaming ball flows down the right side area PA3. It is good also as composition which a prize winning does not occur.

  The second actuation device 34 is disposed in the right side area PA3. That is, when the game operating device is operated such that the gaming ball flows down the left area PA2, the second actuation device 34 can not win a game, and the shooting operation is performed so that the gaming ball flows down the right area PA3. If the device 28 is operated, a prize can be won. The second actuating device 34 is provided with a common utility product 34a as a guide piece consisting of a pair of left and right movable pieces. In the closed state of the commercial item 34a, the gaming ball can not win a prize in the second operating device 34, and when the commercial object 34a is in the open state, winning in the second operating device 34 becomes possible. A common drive unit 34b for opening and closing the common control utility 34a and a second operation detection sensor 34c for detecting the winning game balls are electrically connected to a main control unit 60 described later. ing. When the drive signal is transmitted from the main controller 60 to the common drive unit 34b, the common unit 34a is opened, and transmission of the drive signal is stopped, so that the common unit 34a returns to the closed state. Do. Further, the main control device 60 grasps the presence or absence of winning on the second actuation device 34 based on the detection result of the second actuation detection sensor 34 c.

  A through gate 35 is provided upstream of the second actuating device 34 in the flow direction of the gaming ball in the right side area PA3. That is, when the game operating device 28 is operated such that the game ball flows down the left area PA2, the through gate 35 can not be won, and the game operation device 28 flows so that the game ball flows down the right area PA3. If the is operated, a prize can be won. The through gate 35 has a through hole penetrating in the longitudinal direction, and when the gaming ball passes through the through hole, winning on the through gate 35 is generated. Therefore, the gaming ball that has won the through gate 35 continues to flow down the gaming area PA. A through detection sensor 35a is provided in the through gate 35, and the game ball that has won the through gate 35 is detected by the through detection sensor 35a. The through detection sensor 35a is electrically connected to a main control unit 60 described later, and the main control unit 60 recognizes the presence or absence of winning on the through gate 35 based on a signal received from the through detection sensor 35a.

  Based on the winning on the through gate 35, the utility power supply 34a of the second actuating device 34 is switched from the closed state to the open state. Specifically, the internal lottery is performed triggered by the winning of the through gate 35, and the common drawing display portion of the common drawing unit 38 provided in the lower left corner which is an area where the game ball does not pass in the gaming area PA Switching display of the display mode is performed at 38a. Then, when the result of the internal lottery is the electronic combination open winning, the result of the stop corresponding to the result is displayed, and the variable display of the common view display unit 38a is ended, the state shifts to the general electric power transmission open state. In the general-purpose open state, the general-purpose utility item 34a is open in a predetermined manner.

  In addition, although the common view display part 38a is comprised by the segment display which a some segment light emission part is arranged in a predetermined | prescribed aspect, it is not limited to this, A liquid crystal display device, an organic electroluminescence display , Or a display device such as a CRT or dot matrix display. In addition, a configuration in which a plurality of characters are displayed in a variable manner, a configuration in which a plurality of symbols are displayed in a variable manner, a configuration in which a plurality of characters are displayed as a variation A configuration in which a plurality of colors are switched and displayed may be considered.

  In the common drawing unit 38, a common drawing suspension display unit 38b is provided at a position adjacent to the common drawing display unit 38a. The number of game balls winning through the through gate 35 is held at a maximum of four, and the number of the held balls is displayed by lighting of the common drawing hold display unit 38b.

  A lottery is triggered by winning of the first actuating device 33 or the second actuating device 34 as a trigger. Then, the lottery result is clearly indicated through display effects in the special display unit 37 and the symbol display device 41 of the variable display unit 36.

  In more detail, the special drawing unit 37 is provided in the lower right corner which is an area where the gaming ball does not pass in the gaming area PA.

Although the upper limit number for storing the first special drawing side holding information is set to 4 and the upper limit number for holding the second special drawing side holding information is also set to 4 although they are stored. . Therefore, when the gaming ball is detected by the first special drawing detection sensor 33a of the first actuation device 33 in a situation where four first special drawing side holding information is stored for hold, the holding area 103 Even if the total number of special drawing side holding information held in the holding state is less than eight, new holding storage of the first special drawing side holding information is not performed. Similarly, in a situation where four pieces of second special view side reserve information are reserved and stored, the second special view detection sensor 33 b of the first actuation device 33 or the second actuation detection sensor 34 c of the second actuation device 34 When a game ball is detected, even if the total number of special drawing side holding information held in the holding area 103 is less than eight, the new holding storage of the second special view side holding information is It does not happen.

  Note that the number that can be reserved and stored in the reservation area is not limited to eight and is arbitrary, and may be another plural number such as two, three or nine or more. Further, the number of first special drawing side holding information that can be held and held is not limited to four and is arbitrary, and may be two, three, five or more, and so on. Well may be singular. Further, the number of the second special view side reserve information that can be reserved and stored is not limited to four and is arbitrary, and may be two, three, five or more, and so on. Well may be singular. Further, the first special view side reserve information and the second special view side reserve information are not limited to the configuration in which the upper limit number that can be reserved and stored is the same, and the upper limit number may be different.

  The special drawing execution area 119 stores special drawing side holding information for which special drawing acceptance / rejection determination or type determination is performed when variable display is started on any of the special drawing display portions 37a and 37b. Area. Specifically, when variable display is started on any of the special view display portions 37a and 37b, the special view side reserve information stored in the first area 111 in the reserve area 103 is executed for special view It is moved to area 119. In this case, in the identification area 111a of the first area 111 to be moved for the special drawing side holding information to the special drawing execution area 119, information indicating that it is the first special drawing side holding information is set. In the case where the first special view display unit 37a is the start target of the variable display. On the other hand, when the information indicating that it is the second special view side reserve information is set in the identification area 111a of the first area 111 to be moved of the special view side reserve information to the special view execution area 119 In this case, the second special view display unit 37b is an object to start variable display.

  The information corresponding to the common charge random number counter C 4 is stored in the common drawing reservation area 121 when a winning on the through gate 35 occurs. The common drawing reservation area 121 includes the first area 122a, the second area 122b, the third area 122c, and the fourth area 122d, and the numerical information of the common charge random number counter C4 according to the winning history on the through gate 35. Are stored in any of the areas 122a to 122d as the drawing side reservation information. In this case, if winning through the through gate 35 occurs in the first area 122a to the fourth area 122d in a situation where variable display in the common view display unit 38a can not be newly started, the first area 122a → The numerical information is stored in time series in the order of the second area 122 b → the third area 122 c → the fourth area 122 d. Thus, by providing the four areas 122a to 122d, the winning history of the gaming ball to the through gate 35 is reserved and stored up to four. In addition, the number that can be reserved and stored in the common view reservation area 121 is not limited to four and is arbitrary, and may be other plural such as two, three, five or more, and so on It may be

  In the common drawing reservation area 121, a common drawing execution area 123 is provided. The execution area 123 for common drawing is an area in which the holding information of the target for which the propriety judgment for support is performed is stored when variable display is started on the common drawing display unit 38a. Specifically, when the variable display of the common drawing display unit 38a is started, the common drawing side holding information stored in the first area 122a of the common drawing reservation area 121 is moved to the common drawing execution area 123. Ru.

  The respective counters will be described in detail.

  First, the common charge random number counter C4 will be described. For example, the common charge random number counter C4 is configured to be sequentially incremented by "1" within a range of 0 to 250, and to return to "0" after reaching the maximum value. The common charge random number counter C4 is periodically updated, and is stored in the common drawing holding area 121 of the main side RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the through gate 35. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed to determine whether the general-purpose utility 34a is to be controlled to the open state by the value of the stored general-purpose random number counter C4.

  In the pachinko machine 10, a plurality of types of support modes are set such that the modes of support by the power control unit 34a differ from one another. In detail, in the support mode, when compared in the situation where the firing of the game ball is continued in the same manner with respect to the game area PA, the commercial battery 34a of the second actuating device 34 per unit time The high frequency support mode and the low frequency support mode are set such that the frequency of the open state is relatively high and low.

  In the high frequency support mode and the low frequency support mode, the probability of winning the common power open status in the common power open lottery using the common power random number counter C4 is the same (for example, both are 4/5), but high In the frequency support mode, the number of times the common power utility piece 34a is released when the common power release state is won is set more frequently than in the low frequency support mode, and one open time is set longer. There is. In this case, when the general electric power release state is won in the high frequency support mode and the open state of the general power utility item 34a occurs a plurality of times, it is from the end of one open state to the start of the next open state. The closing time is set to be shorter than one opening time. Furthermore, in the high frequency support mode, the securing time minimumly secured in performing the next public power release lottery after the first public power release lottery is performed rather than the low frequency support mode One display continuation time in the display unit 38a is set to be short.

  As described above, in the high frequency support mode, the probability that the second actuator 34 will win is higher than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low-frequency support mode, the probability of winning on the first actuating device 33 is higher than that of the second actuating device 34, but in the high-frequency support mode, the second actuating device 33 has a second operation. The probability of winning of the apparatus 34 is increased.

  Note that the configuration for increasing the frequency at which the common power release state occurs per unit time in the high-frequency support mode rather than the low-frequency support mode is not limited to the above-described one. It is good also as composition which makes high the probability of being in a state where the general public is released. In addition, a securement time (for example, based on winning on the through gate 35) is performed in the generalization display portion 38a, which is secured when the next general public open lottery is performed after one public open public lottery is performed. In the configuration in which multiple types of variable display time) are prepared, the high frequency support mode is set so that the short securing time is easier to be selected or the average securing time is shorter than the low frequency support mode. It is also good. Furthermore, the number of opening times is increased, the opening time is extended, and the securing time secured in performing the next public power release lottery after the one public power opening lottery is performed, the securing time to be related, The advantage of the high frequency support mode over the low frequency support mode may be enhanced by applying any one condition or any combination of conditions among shortening the average time of and increasing the probability of winning.

  When the general electric power is released in the general electric power opening lottery using the general electric power number counter C4, the general electric power is released. The general-purpose electric power release state ends when the predetermined number of times of opening and closing of the general-purpose utility item 34a is performed or when the predetermined upper limit number of gaming balls wins the second actuation device 34. Do. More specifically, the upper limit number is 10 in common in both the low frequency support mode and the high frequency support mode. On the other hand, the number of times of switching on and off of the commercial product 34a is one in the low-frequency support mode, whereas in the high-frequency support mode, it is multiple times more than in the low-frequency support mode. It has been three times. In addition, one open continuation time of the commercial power utility product 34a is 1 sec in the low frequency support mode, and is 2 sec in the high frequency support mode.

  Next, the per-random number counter C1 will be described. The per-random number counter C1 is configured to be sequentially incremented by one, for example, within the range of 0 to 599, and to return to zero after reaching the maximum value. In particular, when the per-random number counter C1 makes one revolution, the value of the random-number initial value counter CINI at that time is read as the initial value of the per-random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the per random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599). The random number counter C1 is periodically updated, and at a timing when the gaming ball is detected by the first special drawing detection sensor 33a of the first actuation device 33, it is used as a part of the first special drawing side holding information. Second special view side reserve information at the timing when the game ball is stored in the area 103 and detected by the second special view detection sensor 33b of the first actuation device 33 or the second actuation detection sensor 34c of the second actuation device 34 Is stored in the holding area 103 as part of the Then, the determination of success or failure is performed using the value of the stored random number counter C1.

  The value of the random number to be won in the determination of the success or failure is stored in the main ROM 63 as a success or failure table. In the success or failure table, a jackpot result and an outlier result are set as the success or failure results. The jackpot result is a success / failure result that can be a transition trigger to the open / close execution mode in which the special power prize device 32 is controlled to open / close, and a transition trigger of at least one of the lottery mode and the support mode. The out result is a success / failure result that does not become a transition trigger for the success / failure lottery mode and the support mode without becoming a transition trigger to the open / close execution mode.

  As the pass / fail table, there are a pass / fail table for the low probability mode and a pass / fail table for the high probability mode. That is, the pachinko machine 10 refers to the same success or failure table for the first special view side retention information and the second special view side retention information, and in any case, it is used as the lottery mode in the acceptance lottery. There are low probability mode and high probability mode.

  Describing each of the success or failure tables specifically, the success or failure table for the low probability mode has seven values of the random numbers that result in the jackpot. And other than that is a value of the random number which becomes a deviation result. In the high probability mode pass / fail table, the number of random numbers resulting in the jackpot is set larger than in the low probability mode's pass / fail table, specifically 60. In this case, the value group of the per-random number counter C1 that is a big hit in the low probability mode is included in the value group of the per random number counters C1 that is the big hit in the high probability mode.

  In addition, if the probability that the high probability mode will be the jackpot result is higher than the low probability mode, the number of random numbers to be won is arbitrary, and the jackpot result in the situation in the low probability mode The value group of the random number counter C1 may be configured to be partially included or not included in the value group of the random number counter C1 when the jackpot is won in the high probability mode.

  Next, the jackpot type counter C2 will be described. The jackpot type counter C2 is configured such that “1” is sequentially added within the range of 0 to 99, and returns to “0” after reaching the maximum value. The jackpot type counter C2 is periodically updated, and at the timing when the gaming ball is detected by the first special drawing detection sensor 33a of the first actuation device 33, it is used for holding as part of the first special drawing side holding information. Second special view side reserve information at the timing when the game ball is stored in the area 103 and detected by the second special view detection sensor 33b of the first actuation device 33 or the second actuation detection sensor 34c of the second actuation device 34 Is stored in the holding area 103 as part of the Then, the type determination of the jackpot result is performed using the value of the stored jackpot type counter C2.

  The distribution destination of the type of the jackpot result for the jackpot type counter C2 is stored in the main ROM 63 as a type table. The contents of the type table will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B. As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b), 4R high probability jackpot results, 8R high probability jackpot results, and 16R high probability jackpot results are set in the type table as the types of jackpot results. ing.

  In the 4R high probability big hit result, it becomes the opening and closing execution mode where the round game occurs 4 times. In addition, after the open / close execution mode ends, the high probability mode is set regardless of the hit / off selection mode before the open / close execution mode transition and the high frequency support mode regardless of the support mode before the open / close execution mode transition. Become. The high probability mode and the high frequency support mode continue until eight game times are completed. If 8 game rounds are completed without newly generating the opening / closing execution mode after the opening / closing execution mode triggered by the 4R high probability big hit result is finished, the success / failure lottery mode becomes the low probability mode, and the support mode Is the low frequency support mode.

  In the 8R high probability jackpot result, it becomes an open / close execution mode in which a round game occurs 8 times. In addition, after the open / close execution mode ends, the high probability mode is set regardless of the hit / off selection mode before the open / close execution mode transition and the high frequency support mode regardless of the support mode before the open / close execution mode transition. Become. The high probability mode and the high frequency support mode continue until eight game times are completed. If 8 game runs have been completed without newly generating the opening / closing execution mode after the opening / closing execution mode triggered by the 8R high probability big hit result is finished, the success / failure lottery mode becomes the low probability mode, and the support mode Is the low frequency support mode.

  In the 16R high probability jackpot result, it becomes an open / close execution mode in which a round game occurs 16 times. In addition, after the open / close execution mode ends, the high probability mode is set regardless of the hit / off selection mode before the open / close execution mode transition and the high frequency support mode regardless of the support mode before the open / close execution mode transition. Become. The high probability mode and the high frequency support mode continue until eight game times are completed. If 8 game runs have been completed without newly generating the opening / closing execution mode after the opening / closing execution mode triggered by the 16R high probability big hit result is finished, the hit / off lottery mode becomes the low probability mode, and the support mode Is the low frequency support mode.

  As the type table, as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b), a type table for the first special view used in determining the type of the first special view side hold information, and a second special view side A type table for the second special drawing used to determine the type of the hold information is set. Whether the classification table for the first special drawing or the classification table for the second special drawing is the type of jackpot results to be distributed target 4R high probability jackpot result, 8R high probability jackpot result and 16R high probability jackpot result It has become one of. In this case, in the first special drawing type table, among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of "0 to 99", "0 to 39" correspond to the 4R high probability jackpot result, "40 to 79". Corresponds to the 8R high probability jackpot result, and “80 to 99” corresponds to the 16R high probability jackpot result. On the other hand, in the type table for the second special view, among the values of the big hit type counter C2 of "0 to 99", "0 to 29" corresponds to the 4R high probability big hit result, "30 to 79" It corresponds to the 8R high probability jackpot result, and "80 to 99" corresponds to the 16R high probability jackpot result. Although the probability that the 16R high probability jackpot result is selected is the same for the first special drawing type table and the second special drawing type table, in the case of the second special drawing type table, the first special drawing The probability that the 4R high probability jackpot result is selected is lower than the classification table for the table, and the probability that the 8R high probability jackpot result is selected is set high. Therefore, as a type of jackpot result that can be selected when a jackpot is won, the game with the second special view side hold information as a trigger is a game than the case with the first special view side hold information as a trigger. For the benefit of

  Next, the reach random number counter C3 will be described. For example, the reach random number counter C3 is configured to be sequentially incremented by “1” within a range of 0 to 238 and to return to “0” after reaching the maximum value. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated, and at the timing when the gaming ball is detected by the first special drawing detection sensor 33a of the first actuation device 33, it is used for holding as a part of the first special drawing side holding information. Second special view side reserve information at the timing when the game ball is stored in the area 103 and detected by the second special view detection sensor 33b of the first actuation device 33 or the second actuation detection sensor 34c of the second actuation device 34 Is stored in the holding area 103 as part of the

  Here, in the present pachinko machine 10, an expected effect is set as a type of display effect in the symbol display device 41. An expected effect includes the symbol display device 41 capable of performing variable display of symbols, and in the gaming machine that results in a predetermined jackpot, the symbol display device 41 in the gaming machine in which the final stop result is the corresponding result. Before the stop result is derived and displayed after the variable display of the symbol in is started, it means the display state for making the player think that it is a variable display state in which the above-mentioned correspondence with correspondence result is likely to be obtained. In addition, specifically, about the provision corresponding | compatible result, the combination of the symbol in which the same number was attached | subjected on one effective line is stopped-displayed.

  In the expectation effect, two types of reach display and advance notice display for expecting the occurrence of reach display and the occurrence of the response to an assignment in a stage before the reach display and the like are set.

  In the reach display, a combination of reach symbols is displayed by stopping the symbols of some of the plurality of symbol rows displayed on the symbol display device 41, and the symbols in the remaining symbol rows are displayed in that state. The display state which performs the variable display of is included. Also, while displaying combinations of reach symbols as described above, while performing variable display of symbols in the remaining symbol rows, and performing reach effects by displaying a predetermined character or the like as a moving image on the background screen, or Also, it is possible to perform reach effect by displaying a predetermined character or the like as a moving image on substantially the entire display surface of the symbol display device 41 after reducing or displaying the combination of the reach symbols in reduced size or non-display.

  In the advance notice display, after the variable display of the symbols is started in the symbol display device 41, the symbols are variably displayed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, or a part of the symbol rows are plural symbols. In a situation where symbols are variably displayed in the symbol row, a mode is included in which characters are displayed separately from the symbols on the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. In addition, the background screen is a predetermined mode different from the previous modes, and the pattern on the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is the predetermined mode different from the previous modes. Such preliminary display may occur at any game times when reach display is performed and when reach display is not performed, but when reach display is performed is higher probability than when reach display is not performed. Is set to occur on

  The reach display is executed regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3 in the game times in which the combination of the same symbols is finally stopped and displayed. In addition, in the game turn corresponding to the disconnection result, in the reach table in which the value of the reach random number counter C3 in the special drawing side hold information that became the start timing of the game turn is stored in the reach table storage area of the main ROM 63 It is executed when it corresponds to the value of reach correspondence stored.

  On the other hand, the determination as to whether or not to display the advance notice is made not by the main MPU 62 but by the sound side MPU 82. In this case, in the sound-side MPU 82, the game times corresponding to any of the big hit results are more likely to be displayed prior to the game times corresponding to the lost result, and the notice display having a lower appearance rate is generated. In order to satisfy at least one of the conditions that it is easy to do, a lottery process for displaying a notice is performed. By the way, this lottery result is reflected when the game effect is executed by the symbol display device 41.

  Next, the variation type counter CS will be described. For example, the fluctuation type counter CS is sequentially incremented by one within the range of 0 to 198, and returns to “0” after reaching the maximum value. The fluctuation type counter CS is periodically updated, and at the timing when the gaming ball is detected by the first special drawing detection sensor 33a of the first actuation device 33, it is used for holding as a part of the first special drawing side holding information. Second special view side reserve information at the timing when the game ball is stored in the area 103 and detected by the second special view detection sensor 33b of the first actuation device 33 or the second actuation detection sensor 34c of the second actuation device 34 Is stored in the holding area 103 as part of the The fluctuation type counter CS is used when the main MPU 62 determines the display continuation period of the game times in the first special view display unit 37a, the second special view display unit 37b, and the symbol display device 41.

<About the processing composition which becomes premise in main side MPU62>
Next, each process performed in order to advance a game in main side MPU62 is demonstrated. The processes of the main side MPU 62 are roughly classified into a main process activated upon power-on and a timer interrupt process activated periodically (in a cycle of 4 msec in the present embodiment).

<Main processing>
First, the main processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, power on wait processing is executed (step S101). In the power-on wait process, for example, the process waits until 1 sec elapses after the main process is started, without progressing to the next process. Thereafter, access to the main RAM 64 is permitted (step S102), and the internal function register of the main MPU 62 is set (step S103).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch provided in the power / emission control device 78 is manually operated (step S104), and it is determined whether or not the power failure flag of the main RAM 64 is set to "1". (Step S105). Also, a checksum calculation process for calculating a checksum is executed (step S106), and it is determined whether the checksum matches the checksum stored at power-off, that is, the validity of the stored data ( Step S107).

  In the pachinko machine 10, when initializing the RAM data at the time of power on, for example, at the start of business operation of the game hall, the power is turned on while pressing the RAM erase switch. Therefore, if the RAM erase switch is pressed, the process proceeds to step S108. In addition, when the occurrence information of the power-off is not set, or when the abnormality of the data stored and held is confirmed by the checksum, the process similarly shifts to the process of step S108. In step S108, the main RAM 64 is cleared as initialization of the main RAM 64. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S109.

  On the other hand, when the RAM erase switch is not pressed, the process in step S108 is not performed under the condition that the power failure flag is set to “1” and the checksum is normal. Go to In step S109, power on setting processing is performed. In the power-on setting process, a predetermined area of the main RAM 64 such as initialization of a power failure flag is set to an initial value, and a command corresponding to the current game state is recognized to recognize the current game state. Send to

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to the remaining process of step S110 to step S113. That is, although the main MPU 62 is configured to periodically execute the timer interrupt process, a remaining time is generated between one timer interrupt process and the next timer interrupt process. Although this remaining time fluctuates in accordance with the processing completion time of each timer interrupt process, the remaining process of step S110 to step S113 is repeatedly executed using such irregular time. In this regard, it can be said that the remaining process of the step S110 to the step S113 is a non-periodic process which is executed irregularly.

  In the remaining process, first, in step S110, in order to inhibit the generation of the timer interrupt process, the interrupt disable setting is performed. In the following step S111, the random number initial value updating process for updating the random number initial value counter CINI is executed, and in step S112, the variation counter updating process for updating the variation type counter CS is executed. In these update processes, the present numerical value information is read out from the corresponding counter of the main side RAM 64, and the process of adding one to the read out numerical value information is executed, and then the process of overwriting the read source counter is executed. In this case, when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0". After that, in step S113, interrupt permission setting is performed to switch from the state where the generation of the timer interrupt processing is prohibited to the state where it is permitted. If the process of step S113 is performed, it will return to step S110 and will repeat the process of step S110-step S113.

<Timer interrupt processing>
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The timer interrupt process is repeatedly activated in a cycle of 4 milliseconds.

  First, a power failure information storage process is executed (step S201). In the power failure information storage processing, it is monitored whether or not a power failure signal corresponding to the occurrence of the power supply interruption is received from the power failure monitoring board, and when the occurrence of the power failure is specified, the power failure processing is executed.

  Thereafter, a lottery random number updating process is executed (step S202). In the random number updating process for drawing, the update of the per random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the general electric random number counter C4 is executed. Specifically, after the current numerical information is sequentially read out from the per random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3 and the general electric random number counter C4, and the read out numerical information is added one by one. Execute processing to overwrite the counter of reading source. In this case, when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0". Thereafter, in step S203, the random number initial value updating process is performed as in step S111, and in step S204, the variation counter updating process is performed as in step S112.

  Thereafter, the fraud detection process is performed to monitor whether or not a predetermined event set as a fraud monitoring target has occurred (step S205). In the fraud detection process, occurrence of multiple types of events is monitored, and it is confirmed that a predetermined event has occurred, thereby setting “1” to the game stop flag provided in the main RAM 64.

  After that, it is determined whether or not the progress of the game is stopped by determining whether or not “1” is set in the game stop flag (step S206). If a negative determination is made in step S206, processing in step S207 and subsequent steps is executed.

  In step S207, port output processing is performed. In the port output process, when setting of output information is performed in the previous timer interrupt process, a process for performing an output corresponding to the output information to the various drive units 32 b and 34 b is executed. For example, the output of the drive signal to the special power drive unit 32b is started when the information to switch the special power winning device 32 to the open state is set, and the information to switch the closed state is set. Stop output of drive signal. Also, when the information to switch the common use utility 34a of the second actuating device 34 to the open state is set, the output of the drive signal to the common drive unit 34b is started, and the information to be switched to the closed state is If it is set, the output of the drive signal is stopped.

  In the following step S208, a reading process is performed. In the reading process, reading of signals other than the power failure signal and the winning signal is executed, and the read information is stored for use in future processing.

  In the subsequent step S209, a winning detection process is executed. In the winning detection process, signals received from various detection sensors including each of the winning detection sensors 33a to 35a are read, and the general winning portion 31, the special electric winning device 32, the first operating device 33, and the second operating device 34 And the process which specifies the presence or absence of the ball entering to through gate 35 is performed.

  In the following step S210, a timer update process is performed to collectively update numerical information of a plurality of types of timer counters provided in the main RAM 64. In this case, the timer counter is stored in which the stored numerical information is subtracted and updated, but both the update of the subtraction type timer counter and the update of the addition type timer counter are collectively performed. It is good also as composition.

  In the following step S211, a launch control process is performed to control the launch of the gaming ball. In the situation where the firing operation is continued to the firing control device 28, as described above, one gaming ball is fired in 0.6 seconds which is a predetermined firing cycle.

  In the subsequent step S212, as input state monitoring processing, confirmation of disconnection of each of the winning detection sensors 33a to 35a and confirmation of opening of the gaming machine main body 12 and the front door frame 14 based on the information read in the reading processing of step S208 Do.

  In the following step S213, special figure electric power control processing for performing execution control of game times and execution control of the open / close execution mode is executed. The processing content of the special figure special power control process will be described in detail later.

  In the following step S214, a general-purpose general control process is performed. In the common drawing common control control process, when winning through the through gate 35 occurs, processing for acquiring numerical information of the common electric random number counter C4 is executed, and the numerical information is stored. With respect to the numerical information, the determination of the general electric power generation is performed, and further, upon the determination of the general electric power generation opening, a process for performing an effect for the common drawing is performed in the common drawing display unit 38a. In addition, based on the result of the determination of the general electric power release, processing for opening and closing the general electric utility 34 a of the second actuation device 34 is executed.

  In the following step S215, based on the processing results of the immediately preceding step S213 and step S214, the number of increases / decreases of the first special view side reserve information according to the first special view display portion 37a is reflected in the first special view reserve display portion 37c. Setting of output information for the second special view display unit 37b, setting of output information for causing the second special view suspension display unit 37d to reflect the increase / decrease number of the second special view side suspension information according to the second special view display unit 37b The output information is set to reflect the increase / decrease number of the common drawing side holding information according to 38a on the common drawing holding display unit 38b. In step S215, based on the processing results of the immediately preceding step S213 and step S214, setting of output information for updating the display contents of the first special view display unit 37a and the second special view display unit 37b is performed. , Setting of output information for updating the display contents of the common drawing display unit 38a. In step S215, setting of output information for updating the display content of the round display unit 39 is performed based on the processing result of the immediately preceding step S213.

  In the subsequent step S216, the contents of the command and signal received from the payout control device 77 are confirmed, and a payout state reception process for performing a process corresponding to the confirmation result is executed. In step S217, a payout output process for setting a winning ball command as an output target is executed. In the subsequent step S218, an external information setting process is performed to control the start and end of the output of the external signal according to the processing results of various processes executed in the timer interrupt process this time.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S206, or after the processes of steps S207 to S218 are performed, the timer interrupt process is ended.

<Special figure special power control process>
Next, the special figure electric power control process executed in step S213 in the timer interrupt process (FIG. 10) of the main MPU 62 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the special figure special power control process, when winning is generated in the first actuation device 33 or the second actuation device 34, a process for acquiring the special view side suspension information is executed, and the special view side suspension information is If it is stored, it is determined whether or not the special drawing side suspension information is determined, and further, processing for performing a game effect is executed when the determination is made. Further, based on the result of the success / failure determination, the processing to shift to the opening / closing execution mode after the execution of the game effect is executed, and the processing in the opening / closing execution mode and the end of the opening / closing execution mode is executed.

  Specifically, the process of acquiring hold information is first executed (step S301). FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the process of acquiring pending information. When the first special drawing detection sensor 33a of the first actuation device 33 is ON (step S401: YES), the number of first special drawing side holding information held in the holding area 103 is an upper limit number. Is determined (step S402). Specifically, among the identification areas 111a to 118a of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 in the holding area 103, there are four areas in which information corresponding to the first special view side holding information is stored. It is determined whether the

  When negative determination is carried out in step S402, the acquisition processing of 1st special-figure side reservation information is performed (step S403). In the acquisition process, the values of the per-random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the variation type counter CS are selected on the side of any of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 in the holding area 103. The hold information is also stored in the top area not stored. Further, in the acquisition process, information corresponding to the first special-image-side hold information is stored in the identification areas 111a to 118a corresponding to the storage areas 111 to 118.

  Thereafter, the destination identification process is executed (step S404). In this destination identification process, information obtained as a big hit result in the low probability mode, information obtained as a big hit result in the high probability mode, information corresponding to a predetermined reach occurrence, and a predetermined reach, the first special view side hold information acquired this time Specifies whether any of the information corresponding to the different reach occurrences falls under. In other words, the specification of these various types of information will be executed when the first special view side suspension information becomes the start target of the game round, but prior to that, the first special view side suspension information is acquired, and these are determined. Identification of various information is performed in a pre-identification process. In addition, even if destination specification processing is executed, when it becomes the start target of game times, the information which is already specified with destination specification processing is not diverted as it is, specification of the above-mentioned various information is done again . However, even if the specification of the various information is performed again at the start of the game period, the same information as the first special view side suspension information referred to at the start of the game period is referred to in the first specifying process. Therefore, the information specified at the start of the game play corresponds to the information specified in the destination specifying process.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the preceding identification process. In the prior identification process, first, a success / failure table for the low probability mode is read out from the main ROM 63 (step S501). Then, the success or failure determination processing is executed with reference to the read-out low / probability mode success / failure table (step S502). In the appropriate determination processing, it is determined whether the numerical information of the per random number counter C1 in the special drawing side suspension information acquired this time corresponds to the value of the random number that will be the jackpot result in the low probability mode for the low probability mode. Here, as described above, the value group of the per-random number counter C1 that will be the big hit in the low probability mode is included in the value group of the per random number counter C1 that will be the big hit in the high probability mode. Therefore, when it is determined that the jackpot result is supported in the success / failure determination process of step S502 (step S503: YES), both the jackpot information at low probability and the jackpot information at high probability are set in the main RAM 64. (Step S504). The jackpot information at the time of low probability is information indicating that the special drawing side reserve information acquired this time is a big hit result in the low probability mode, and the big hit information at the time of high probability is the high probability mode for the special drawing side reserve information acquired this time The information indicates that the jackpot result will be.

  If a negative determination is made in step S503, a success / failure table for the high probability mode is read out from the main ROM 63 (step S505). Then, the success or failure determination processing is executed with reference to the read-out high-probability mode success / failure table (step S506). In the corresponding determination processing, it is determined whether the numerical information of the per random number counter C1 in the special drawing side suspension information acquired this time corresponds to the value of the random number that will be the jackpot result in the high probability mode for the high probability mode. When it is determined in the success / failure determination process of step S506 that it corresponds to the big hit result (step S507: YES), the big hit information at the time of high probability is set in the main RAM 64 (step S508).

  If a negative determination is made in step S507, reach determination processing is executed (step S509). In the reach determination process, read out the reach table from the main ROM 63, and whether the numerical information of the reach random number counter C3 in the special drawing side suspension information acquired this time corresponds to the reach correspondence value stored in the reach table It is determined whether or not. If it is determined in the reach determination processing that the generation of the reach is supported (step S510: YES), the display continuation period identification processing is executed (step S511). In the display continuation period identification process, the display continuation period table at the time of reach occurrence is read out from the main ROM 63, and the numerical information of the fluctuation type counter CS in the special drawing side suspension information acquired this time is displayed in the display continuation period table at the time of reach It is determined whether it corresponds to the value defined as the display continuation period of the occurrence of the predetermined reach. The predetermined reach is set as a reach having a high expectation of occurrence of the jackpot result than in the case of the specific reach, and for example, a reach effect by a predetermined character is executed as the predetermined reach.

  In step S512, it is determined whether the result of the process of identifying the display duration corresponds to the occurrence of a predetermined reach. If an affirmative determination is made in step S512, predetermined reach information is set in the main RAM 64 (step S513). The predetermined reach information is information indicating that the predetermined reach occurs when the special drawing side hold information acquired this time becomes the target of the start of the game play. If a negative determination is made in step S512, non-predetermined reach information is set in the main RAM 64 (step S514). The non-predetermined reach information is information indicating that a reach other than the predetermined reach occurs when the special drawing side suspension information acquired this time becomes the start target of the game round.

  It should be noted that instead of specifying whether or not the predetermined reach occurs in steps S511 and S512, it may be specified whether or not the reach effect more than the predetermined jackpot expectation degree is generated. In this case, in step S513, information indicating that reach effect of predetermined jackpot expectation degree or more is generated is set in main side RAM 64, and in step S514, information indicating that reach effect of less than predetermined jackpot expectation degree is generated is It will be set in the main RAM 64. In addition, it may be configured to determine whether or not the display continuation period is equal to or longer than the predetermined period in step S511 and step S512. In this case, in step S513, information indicating that the display continuation period is longer than a predetermined period is set in the main RAM 64, and in step S514, information indicating that the display continuation period is less than the predetermined period is set in the main RAM 64. The Rukoto.

  Returning to the description of the acquisition process of the suspension information (FIG. 12), after the destination identification process is executed in step S404, the transmission process of the first suspension command corresponding to the result of the destination identification process is executed (step S405) . In the transmission process of the first hold command, information corresponding to the contents specified in the destination identification process in step S404, information indicating that it corresponds to the first special view side hold information, and the first special information acquired this time The first hold command including information indicating which of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the hold area 103 the drawing side hold information is stored is read from the main ROM 63 and transmitted to the sound light side MPU 82 Do.

  For example, when the process of step S504 is executed in the previous specifying process of step S404 as the information corresponding to the contents specified in the previous specifying process, the first hold command concerned the jackpot information at the time of low probability and the time of high probability The jackpot information of is included. When the process of step S508 is executed in the destination identification process of step S404, the first hold command includes jackpot information at the time of high probability. When the process of step S513 is executed in the destination identification process of step S404, the first hold command includes predetermined reach information. In addition, when the process of step S514 is executed in the destination identification process of step S404, the first hold command includes non-predetermined reach information. If none of steps S504, S508, S513, and S514 is executed in the destination identification process of step S404, the first hold command includes information corresponding to the processing result of the destination identification process. Is not set.

  If a negative determination is made in step S401, if an affirmative determination is made in step S402, or if the process of step S405 is performed, the second special drawing detection sensor 33b of the first actuation device 33 or the second actuation device 34. It is determined whether or not the second operation detection sensor 34c is ON (step S406). If an affirmative determination is made in step S406, it is determined whether the number of pieces of second special drawing side holding information held in the holding area 103 has reached the upper limit number (step S407). Specifically, among the identification areas 111a to 118a of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 in the holding area 103, there are four areas where information corresponding to the second special view side holding information is stored. It is determined whether the

  When negative determination is carried out in step S407, acquisition processing of 2nd special-figure side reservation information is performed (step S408). In the acquisition process, the values of the per-random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the variation type counter CS are selected on the side of any of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 in the holding area 103. The hold information is also stored in the top area not stored. Further, in the acquisition process, information corresponding to the second special-image-side hold information is stored in the identification areas 111a to 118a corresponding to the storage areas 111 to 118.

  Thereafter, the destination identification process is executed (step S409). The contents of the prior identification process are the same as the contents of the prior identification process of step S404. That is, in step S404, by executing the processing of steps S501 to S514 on the newly acquired first special view side retention information, jackpot information with high probability and high probability for the first special view side retention information Although either of the jackpot information of the hour, the predetermined reach information and the non-predetermined reach information is set, in step S409, the processing of steps S501 to S514 is performed on the newly acquired second special view side hold information. The jackpot information at the time of low probability, the jackpot information at the time of high probability, the predetermined reach information, and the non-predetermined reach information are set for the second special view side reserved information.

  Thereafter, transmission processing of the second hold command is executed (step S410). In the transmission process of the second hold command, information corresponding to the content specified in the destination identification process in step S409, information indicating that it corresponds to the second special view side hold information, and the second special information acquired this time The second hold command including information indicating which of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the hold area 103 the drawing side hold information is stored is read from the main ROM 63 and transmitted to the sound light side MPU 82 Do.

  For example, when the process of step S504 is executed in the previous specifying process of step S409 as the information corresponding to the contents specified in the previous specifying process, the second hold command concerned the jackpot information at the time of low probability and the time of high probability The jackpot information of is included. When the process of step S508 is executed in the destination identification process of step S409, the second hold command includes jackpot information at the time of high probability. When the process of step S513 is executed in the destination identification process of step S409, the second hold command includes predetermined reach information. In addition, when the process of step S514 is executed in the destination identification process of step S409, the second hold command includes non-predetermined reach information. If none of steps S504, S508, S513, and S514 is executed in the destination identification process of step S409, the second hold command includes information corresponding to the processing result of the destination identification process. Is not set.

  Here, the processing content of the sound light side MPU 82 when the first hold command and the second hold command are received will be described. First, the effect side storage area 125 provided in the sound light side RAM 84 will be described with reference to the explanatory view of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the effect-side storage area 125 includes a first unit area 125a, a second unit area 125b, a third unit area 125c, a fourth unit area 125d, a fifth unit area 125e, and a fifth unit area 125e. A six unit area 125f, a seventh unit area 125g, and an eighth unit area 125h are set. The first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h correspond to the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the holding area 103 provided in the main side RAM 64 in a one-to-one manner. That is, the nth unit areas 125a to 125h correspond to the nth areas 111 to 118, and in the nth unit areas 125a to 125h, the special view side reserve information stored in the nth areas 111 to 118 is stored. Information on the processing result of the destination identification process is stored, and information indicating which of the first special drawing side holding information and the second special drawing side holding information corresponds to is stored. Be done.

  Each of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h has a high or low probability area, a low probability area, a predetermined reach area, a non-predetermined area, a hold display area, Is set. Information indicating whether the jackpot information at the time of high probability is set in the specific area in the high probability state or not is stored in the success / failure area at the time of high probability. In the low probability success / failure area, information indicating whether or not it is special drawing side hold information in which jackpot information at low probability is set in the destination identification process (FIG. 13) in the main MPU 62 is stored. In the presence / absence area of the predetermined reach, information indicating whether or not the special drawing side holding information for which the predetermined reach information is set in the destination identification process (FIG. 13) in the main MPU 62 is stored. In the presence / absence area of non-predetermined reach, information indicating whether or not it is special drawing side hold information for which non-predetermined reach information is set in the destination identification process (FIG. 13) in the main MPU 62 is stored. The hold display area stores information indicating whether the corresponding special drawing side hold information is either the first special view side hold information or the second special view side hold information.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the process of receiving a hold command executed by the sound light side MPU 82. The reception process of the hold command is activated when the first hold command or the second hold command is received.

  First, a process of grasping the write target area is executed (step S601). As described above, in the first hold command and the second hold command, which one of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the hold area 103 the special drawing side hold information that triggered the transmission is stored in The storage destination information shown is set. In the process of grasping the writing target area, among the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the production side holding area 125, the information of the storage destination set in the first holding command or the second holding command received this time Understand the corresponding area. In this case, when the storage destination information corresponds to the nth areas 111 to 118 of the holding area 103, the nth unit areas 125a to 125h are grasped in the grasping process of the writing target area. As described above, storage destination information indicating which of the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the holding area 103 the special drawing side holding information that triggered the transmission of the holding command is stored in the holding command itself. By setting “1”, it is possible to increase the accuracy of the correspondence between the holding area 103 of the main RAM 64 and the effect-side holding area 125 of the sound light side RAM 84.

  When jackpot information at the time of high probability is set in the first hold command or the second hold command received this time (step S602: YES), the heights of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped at step S601 The jackpot information at high probability is set in the probability area at the time of probability (step S603). If a negative determination is made in step S602, the pass / fail areas at the time of the high probability of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601 are cleared to "0".

  When jackpot information at the time of low probability is set in the first hold command or the second hold command received this time (step S604: YES), the low of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped at step S601 The jackpot information at low probability is set in the probability area at the time of probability (step S605). When the negative determination is made in step S604, the pass / fail areas at the time of the low probability of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601 are cleared to "0".

  When predetermined reach information is set in the first hold command or the second hold command received this time (step S606: YES), the presence or absence of the predetermined reach of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601 Predetermined reach information is set in the area (step S607). When the negative determination is made in step S606, the presence / absence of the predetermined reach of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601 is cleared to "0".

  When non-predetermined reach information is set in the first hold command or the second hold command received this time (step S608: YES), the non-predetermined reach of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601. Non-predetermined reach information is set in the presence / absence area of (step S609). When the negative determination is made in step S608, the presence / absence area of the non-predetermined reach of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601 is cleared to “0”.

  After executing the processing of step S601 to step S609, the processing of setting the hold display area is executed (step S610). In the setting process, if the hold command received this time is the first hold command, the first special view side hold information is in the hold display areas of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601. If the hold command received this time is the second hold command, the second special view side hold information is displayed in the hold display areas of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h grasped in step S601. Set information that indicates that there is.

  Thereafter, the setting process of the holding effect is executed (step S611). In the setting process of the holding effect, processing for starting the holding effect is executed in response to the special drawing side holding information being newly acquired. The process will be described in detail later.

  Returning to the description of the special view special power control process (FIG. 11), after executing the acquisition processing of the hold information in step S301, the information of the special view special charge counter provided in the main RAM 64 is read (step S302), The special drawing special power address table stored in the side ROM 63 is read out (step S303). Then, the start address corresponding to the information of the special figure special charge counter is acquired from the special figure special charge address table (step S304).

  The special figure special power control process includes a process for controlling the game effect and a process for controlling the open / close execution mode. In this case, as a process for controlling the effects for gaming, the special figure fluctuation start process (step S306), which is a process for starting the effects for gaming, and a process for advancing the effects for gaming A special figure changing process (step S307) and a special figure determining process (step S308), which is a process for ending the game effect, are set. Also, as a process for controlling the open / close execution mode, a special power start process (step S309) which is a process for controlling the opening of the open / close execution mode and a process for controlling the open state of the special electric winning device 32. In the special electric power open process (step S310) which is the special electric power open process and the special electric power close process (step S311) which is a process for controlling the state of the special electric charge prize apparatus 32 in closing, ending the open / close execution mode and ending the open / close execution mode In the special power termination process (step S312), which is a process for controlling the transition of the gaming state, is set. In such a processing configuration, the special figure special charge counter is a counter for the main MPU 62 to grasp which of the plurality of types of processes should be executed, and the special figure special charge address table contains A start address of a program for executing the plurality of types of processing is set corresponding to the numerical information of the special drawing special power counter.

  After the process of step S304 is performed, in step S305, a process of jumping to the process indicated by the start address acquired in step S304 is performed. Specifically, when the value of the special figure special power counter is "0", the start address of SA0 is acquired, and jumps to the special figure fluctuation start process of step S306, and the value of the special figure special power counter is "1". If it is, the start address of SA1 is acquired, and the process jumps to the processing during the special figure change of step S307, and if the value of the special figure special charge counter is "2", the start address of SA2 is acquired and the step S308 Jumps to the processing during finalization of the special drawing, and when the value of the special drawing special power counter is "3", acquires the start address of SA3, jumps to the special power start process of step S309, and the value of the special drawing special power counter is If it is "4", the start address of SA4 is acquired and jumps to the processing during the special power release of step S310, and if the value of the special figure special power counter is "5", the start address of SA5 is set. And resulting jump in electrically movable device control the closure during the processing of step S311, jump to obtain the start address of the SA6 in electrically movable device control termination processing of the step S312 if the value of the special electrically movable device control counter is "6" out. When one of the processes in step S306 to step S312 is executed, the present special figure special power control process ends. The processes in steps S306 to S312 will be individually described below.

<Special chart change start process>
First, the special figure change start process of step S306 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  If one of the first special drawing side holding information and the second special drawing side holding information is stored in the holding area 103 (step S701: YES), the data setting process is executed (step S702). In the data setting process, the first special drawing side holding information or the second special drawing side holding information stored in the first area 111 of the holding area 103 is moved to the special drawing execution area 119. In this case, not only the numerical information of the per random number counter C1, the numerical information of the big hit type counter C2, the numerical information of the reach random number counter C3 and the numerical information of the fluctuation type counter CS stored in the first area 111 but the identification area 111a The information stored in is also moved to the execution area 119 for special drawing. Also, if the special drawing side holding information moved to the special drawing execution area 119 is the first special drawing side holding information, the display content of the first special drawing holding display unit 37c corresponds to a reduction in the number of holdings by one. Perform data setting to be changed to the displayed content, and if the special drawing side hold information moved to the special drawing execution area 119 is the second special view side hold information, the second special view hold display Data setting is performed so that the display content of the unit 37d is changed to the display content corresponding to the decrease of one pending number.

  In the data setting process, thereafter, a process of shifting the data stored in the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the holding area 103 upward is performed. Specifically, second area 112 → first area 111, third area 113 → second area 112, fourth area 114 → third area 113, fifth area 115 → fourth area 114, sixth area 116 → After shifting the data in each area in the fifth area 115, seventh area 117 → sixth area 116, eighth area 118 → seventh area 117, etc., the eighth area 118 is cleared to "0". At this time, data stored in the identification areas 111a to 118a is also shifted.

  After execution of the data setting process, a success / failure determination process is executed (step S703). In the success or failure determination process, first, it is determined whether or not the success or failure lottery mode is the high probability mode. In the case of the high probability mode, with reference to the success / failure table for the high probability mode provided in the main side ROM 63, information for determination of success / failure among the information stored in the execution area 119 for special drawing, ie, per random number It is determined whether the numerical information acquired from the counter C1 matches the jackpot numerical information for high probability. Also, in the case of the low probability mode, numerical value information acquired from the random number counter C1 stored in the execution area 119 for special drawing with reference to the success / failure table for the low probability mode provided in the main ROM 63. It is determined whether or not it matches the jackpot numerical information for low probability.

  If the result of the propriety determination processing is a big hit winning result (step S704: YES), the type determination processing is executed (step S705). In the type determination process, if the hold information stored in the special drawing execution area 119 is the first special drawing side holding information, the first special drawing type table is read from the main ROM 63, and the second special drawing side If it is the hold information, the type table for the second special view is read from the main ROM 63. Then, the type information of the jackpot result is grasped by collating the numerical value information acquired from the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the special drawing execution area 119 with the read type table.

  Thereafter, a stop result setting process for the jackpot result is executed (step S706). Specifically, for the jackpot result stored in advance in the main ROM 63, information of the display mode to be displayed on the first special view display unit 37a or the second special view display unit 37b in the final stop display in the current game round The identification result is identified from the stop result table and the identified information is stored in the main RAM 64. In the stop result table for the jackpot result, the types of display modes to be stopped and displayed on the first special view display unit 37a or the second special view display unit 37b are set to be different for each type of the jackpot result. In step S706, the main RAM 64 stores information on the display mode according to the type of the jackpot result specified in step S705. Note that the information of the display type to be stopped and displayed is determined according to the value of the jackpot type counter C2. In this case, the display mode may be set to correspond to each jackpot result on a one-to-one basis, and a plurality of display modes may be set for each jackpot result.

  Thereafter, a flag setting process corresponding to the result of the type determination process is executed (step S 707). Specifically, the main RAM 64 is provided with a flag corresponding to the type of each jackpot result, and among the flags corresponding to the types of each jackpot result, a flag corresponding to the result of the type determination process in step S705. Set "1" to.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the jackpot result is not the jackpot result in the success / failure determination process (step S704: NO), the stop result setting process for the separation result is executed (step S708). Specifically, for the separation result stored in advance in the main ROM 63, information of a display mode to be finally stopped and displayed on the first special view display unit 37a or the second special view display unit 37b in the current game round The identification result is identified from the stop result table, and the identified information is stored in the main RAM 64. The information of the display mode selected in this case is different from the information of the display mode selected in the case of the jackpot result.

  After the process of step S 707 or step S 708 is performed, a process of specifying a display continuation period is performed (step S 709). FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a process of specifying a display continuation period. If it is specified that the jackpot result in the current game round success or failure judgment process (step S801: YES), the display continuation period table at the time of jackpot occurrence is read from the main side ROM 63 (step S802). In the display continuation period table at the time of the occurrence of the big hit, information of the display continuation period is set corresponding to a plurality of types of numerical ranges of the fluctuation type counter CS. In addition, since a special effect or reach effect at the time of big hit occurs in the game turn that results in a big hit, only the display duration corresponding to the occurrence of special effect or reach effect at the time of big hit on the display continuation period table at the time of big hit It is set. Moreover, the display continuation period corresponding to generation | occurrence | production of a predetermined reach is set as a display continuation period corresponding to generation | occurrence | production of the said reach production.

  When the current game round does not correspond to the occurrence of the jackpot result (step S801: NO), the reach table is read from the main side ROM 63, and from the reach random number counter C3 stored in the special drawing execution area 119 By checking the acquired numerical information on the reach table, it is determined whether or not the current game play corresponds to the occurrence of reach effect (step S 803). If an affirmative determination is made in step S803, the display continuation period table at the time of reach occurrence is read from main ROM 63 (step S804), and if a negative determination is made in step S803, display continuation when main ROM 63 is removed The period table is read out (step S805).

  In the display continuation period table at the time of reach occurrence, information of the display continuation period is set corresponding to a plurality of types of numerical ranges of the fluctuation type counter CS. All of the information on the set display duration correspond to the display duration corresponding to the occurrence of the reach effect. Moreover, the display continuation period corresponding to generation | occurrence | production of a predetermined reach is set as a display continuation period corresponding to the said reach production.

  A plurality of types of table information are set in the display continuation period table at the time of removal in association with the number of pieces of special drawing side hold information. In this case, information of one kind of display continuation period is set to the table information having seven special information side retention information regardless of the value of the variation type counter CS, and the number of special view side retention information is four. For each of the table information of ~ 6 pieces of table information, the table information of 1 to 3 pieces of special drawing side holding information, and the table information of 0 pieces of special drawing side holding information, there are plural types of fluctuation type counters CS. Information of display duration is set corresponding to the numerical range. In this case, the average period of the display durations to be selected is a long period in the order of 7 pieces of table information → 4 to 6 pieces of table information → 1 to 3 pieces of table information → 0 pieces of table information .

  After executing any of steps S802, S804 and S805, the numerical value information acquired from the fluctuation type counter CS stored in the special drawing execution area 119 is read (step S806). Then, the numerical value information acquired from the fluctuation type counter CS is collated with the display continuous period table read out in any of step S802, step S804 and step S805, thereby displaying information of the display continuous period in the current game run. Read out (step S807).

  Returning to the description of the special view fluctuation start process (FIG. 16), after executing the process for specifying the display duration in step S709, the information on the display duration read out in the process is provided in the main RAM 64. The timer counter is set (step S710). The updating of the numerical information set in the timer counter is executed in the timer updating process (FIG. 10) described above. By the way, switching display of the display mode in the first special view display unit 37a or the second special view display unit 37b and variation display of the symbol in the symbol display device 41 are performed as effects for game use, but each of these variation displays is In the final stop period (for example, 0.1 second) in the state where the stop result of the game time is displayed (in the state where the combination of the predetermined symbol is on standby on the effective line) The final stop is displayed throughout. In this case, the display continuation period acquired in step S709 is the total time for one game cycle, and in step S710, a period obtained by subtracting the final stop period from the display continuation period acquired in step S709. Set the information in the timer counter.

  Thereafter, the variation command and the type command are transmitted to the sound side MPU 82 (step S711). The variation command has a 2-byte data configuration, and the 2-byte data includes data corresponding to the result of the pass / fail determination process, and the first special drawing side suspension information and the first game pattern hold timing [2] data indicating which of the special drawing side holding information is, data corresponding to the result of the type determination process, and data corresponding to the display continuation period are included. Specifically, identification data for indicating that the command is a variation command is set by the upper 4 bits of data of 2 bytes, and the process of judging whether to pass or fail according to the next 4 bits of data And the data for lottery result corresponding to the result of the type determination process is set, and which of the first special view side reserve information and the second special view side reserve information is triggered by the next 1 bit data The trigger data is set, and period data corresponding to the display continuation period is set by the remaining 7-bit data. Therefore, when the variation command is received, the sound-side MPU 82 recognizes that it is the variation command from the identification data, and recognizes the result of the acceptance determination process and the type determination process from the lottery result data. Then, from the data for the trigger, the type of the hold information that triggered the execution of the current game is recognized, and from the data for the period, the display continuation period of the current game is recognized. Here, since the main MPU 62 selects a different display continuation period depending on whether or not the special effect at the big hit or the reach effect occurs, generation of the special effect at the big hit and reach effect at the command for fluctuation is made Even if the presence / absence information is not included, the sound light side MPU 82 can specify the presence / absence of any of the special effect and the reach effect at the time of the jackpot from the information of the display duration. In this regard, it can also be said that the change command includes information indicating the presence or absence of any of special effects and reach effects at the time of jackpot. Note that the change command may include information directly indicating the presence or absence of the special effect or reach effect at the time of the big hit.

  The type command has a 2-byte data configuration, and whether the data corresponding to the result of the pass / fail judgment processing, the data corresponding to the result of the type judgment processing, and the high probability mode are used for the 2-byte data It includes data as to whether or not there is data, and data as to whether or not it is in the high frequency support mode. Specifically, identification data for indicating that the device itself is a type command is set by high-order 4 bits of 2 bytes of data, and the next 4 bits of data indicate a decision processing of success or failure and Data for drawing results corresponding to the result of the type determination process is set, and the remaining 8-bit data indicate state recognition data as to whether or not the high probability mode and the high frequency support mode are selected. It is set. Therefore, when the type command is received, the sound-side MPU 82 recognizes that it is the type command from the identification data, and recognizes the result of the success / failure determination processing and the type determination processing from the lottery result data, From the data for state recognition, it is recognized whether it is in the high probability mode and whether it is in the high frequency support mode.

  Here, data corresponding to the result of the pass / fail judgment processing and the result of the type judgment processing are included in both the variation command and the type command. Therefore, the sound-side MPU 82 collates the data for the lottery result included in the command for variation with the data for the lottery result included in the type command to generate noise or the like regarding the reception of the variation command and the type command. It becomes possible to specify whether or not a communication error has occurred. Then, if both of the lottery result data match, control for effect corresponding to the contents of the variable command and the type command is executed, and if both of the lottery result data do not match. Can be informed of it. By the way, in the latter case, the sound-light MPU 82 may execute game circulation effects corresponding to the communication abnormality in the game turn, and for example, in the game circulation effects, the success or failure judgment processing and the type judgment processing Regardless of the result of the above, the combination of the symbols corresponding to the complete removal may be stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 41 with certainty. In this case, the game circulation effect may be performed over the display continuation period corresponding to the period data included in the fluctuation command, or may be continued until the next fluctuation command and type command are received. It is also good. The variation command may not include one of the result of the success / failure determination process and the result of the type determination process, or may not include both data.

  When the variation command and the type command are received, the sound light side MPU 82 executes processing for starting the game effect. When the game effect is started, the symbol display device 41 starts moving display of symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. Then, when the effect for game use is ended, the movement display of the symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is stopped, the standby display is performed, and the still display is finally performed. In this case, a combination of symbols corresponding to the result of the pass / fail determination process and the type determination process is displayed still.

  After the process of step S711 is executed, the display mode switching display is started on the display portion on the execution target side of the current special game time among the first special view display unit 37a and the second special view display unit 37b (step S712). Thereafter, the special drawing special charge counter is incremented by 1 (step S713). The numerical information of the special figure special power counter is “0” when the special figure fluctuation start process is executed, so the numerical information of the special figure special electricity counter is “1” when the process of step S 713 is performed. .

<Process during special map change>
Next, the special figure changing processing in step S307 in the special figure special power control process (FIG. 11) will be described.

  In the special figure changing process, it is determined whether or not it is during the display continuation period of the game times and before the final stop display, and if it is before the final stop display, the first special view display portion 37a and the second A process for regularly changing the display mode on the execution target side of the current game run in the special view display unit 37b is executed. This regular change is continued until it is time to start the final stop display. In addition, this regular change is performed in a fixed manner regardless of whether or not a hit result occurs and whether reach effect occurs.

  When the final stop display timing is reached, a final stop command is sent to the sound-side MPU 82 to cause the symbol display device 41 to display the final stop result of the current game run, and the first special view The display mode on the execution target side of the current game round among the display unit 37a and the second special view display unit 37b is set as the display mode corresponding to the lottery result of the current game round. Further, information on the final stop time (0.5 seconds) of the game play is read out from the main ROM 63 and set in the timer counter. Then, the value of the special figure special power counter is incremented by one to update the value of the counter from the one corresponding to the special figure variation processing to the one corresponding to the special figure determination processing.

<Processing during special feature confirmation>
Next, the special figure determination process of step S308 in the special figure special power control process (FIG. 11) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  If the final stop period of the current game run has elapsed (step S901: YES), the open / close execution mode is started on the condition that the current game run corresponds to the jackpot result (step S902: YES) Execute processing for Specifically, first, information on the opening period is read from the main ROM 63 (step S903), and the read information on the opening period is set in the timer counter of the main RAM 64 (step S904). Thereafter, an opening command is transmitted to the sound side MPU 82 (step S905). The opening command is a command for causing the sound light side MPU 82 to recognize that it is the timing for starting the effect for the opening / closing execution mode. Thereafter, the special drawing special power counter is incremented by 1, thereby updating the value of the counter from one corresponding to the special drawing determination process to one corresponding to the special power start process (step S906).

  On the other hand, if the current game play does not correspond to the jackpot result (step S902: NO), it is determined whether "1" is set in the high probability flag provided in the main RAM 64 (step S907) . The high probability flag is a flag for specifying in the main MPU 62 that the success or failure lottery mode is the high probability mode, and the main MPU 62 sets the high probability flag to “1” in the success or failure determination processing when starting the game play. By determining whether or not “1” is set, it is specified which one of the success / failure table for the high probability mode and the success / failure table for the low probability mode is to be referred to as a success / failure table. Also, the high probability flag is set to “1” when the open / close execution mode is ended regardless of the type of the jackpot result that is the execution trigger. When the high probability flag is set to “1”, not only the success or failure lottery mode becomes the high probability mode, but also the support mode becomes the high frequency support mode, and the value of the high probability flag is “0”. In addition to the low probability mode, the support mode is a low frequency support mode.

  If “1” is set in the high probability flag (step S 907: YES), the value of the high probability continuation counter provided in the main RAM 64 is decremented by 1 (step S 908). The high probability continuation counter is a counter for specifying by the main side MPU 62 whether or not the number of times the game times have been digested after the end of the open / close execution mode has become the number that triggers the end of the high probability mode. If the value of the high probability continuation counter after one subtraction is "0" (step S909: YES), the high probability flag is cleared to "0" (step S910). Thereafter, the special figure special power counter is cleared to “0”, and the value of the counter is updated from the one corresponding to the special figure determination processing to the one corresponding to the special figure fluctuation start processing (step S 911).

<Special power start processing>
Next, the special power start process of step S309 in the special figure special power control process (FIG. 11) will be described.

  If the opening period has elapsed, the value of the number of round games corresponding to the current jackpot result is set in the round counter provided in the main RAM 64. Specifically, if the open / close execution mode is triggered by the 4R high probability big hit result, “4” is set to the round counter, and if it is the open / close execution mode triggered by the 8R high probability big hit result, the round counter is “8 "16" is set in the round counter if it is the open / close execution mode triggered by the 16R high probability jackpot result. The round counter is a counter for specifying the number of round games remaining in the opening / closing execution mode by the main MPU 62. Further, "10" is set in the winning counter provided in the main RAM 64. The winning counter is a counter for specifying by the main side MPU 62 whether or not winning of the upper limit number of gaming balls has occurred in one round game. Further, information corresponding to the opening continuation period (29 seconds) of one round game is set in the timer counter of the main RAM 64. Then, by starting the output of the drive signal to the special power drive unit 32b, the special power winning device 32 is put in the open state. Thereafter, by adding 1 to the special drawing special power counter, the value of the counter is updated from one corresponding to the special power start process to one corresponding to the special power open process.

<Processing during special power release>
Next, the special power on release process of step S310 in the special figure special power control process (FIG. 11) will be described.

  In the special power open process, when the end condition of the round game is satisfied, the special electric winning device 32 is closed by stopping the output of the drive signal to the special electric power drive unit 32b, and the round counter is decremented by one. . Then, the closing period (for example, 2 seconds) is set in the timer counter. Thereafter, by adding 1 to the special drawing special power counter, the value of the counter is updated from that corresponding to the processing during the special power release to one corresponding to the processing during the special power closing.

<Processing during special power closing>
Next, the process during the special power closing of step S311 in the special figure special power control process (FIG. 11) will be described.

  In the special electric power closing process, when the value of the round counter is not “0”, it is determined whether the closing period has elapsed. When the closing period has elapsed, "10" is set to the winning counter of the main RAM 64, and the timer counter of the main RAM 64 is information corresponding to the opening continuation period (29 seconds) of one round game. set. Then, by starting the output of the drive signal to the special power drive unit 32b, the special power winning device 32 is put in the open state. Thereafter, the special drawing special power counter is decremented by one to update the value of the counter from the one corresponding to the special electric power closing process to the one corresponding to the special electric power open process.

  On the other hand, when the value of the round counter is “0”, the ending command is transmitted to the sound side MPU 82. The ending command is a command for causing the sound light side MPU 82 to recognize that it is a timing to start an effect for ending. Further, the information of the ending period (for example, 6 sec) stored in advance in the main ROM 63 is read, and the information of the ending time is set in the timer counter of the main RAM 64. Thereafter, by adding 1 to the special figure special power counter, the value of the counter is updated from the one corresponding to the special electric power closing process to the one corresponding to the special electric power termination process.

<Special power termination processing>
Next, the special power termination process of step S312 in the special figure special power control process (FIG. 11) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  If the ending period has elapsed (step S1001: YES), the high probability flag of the main RAM 64 is set to "1" (step S1002), and the high probability continuation counter of the main RAM 64 is set to "8" (step S1002) Step S1003). As a result, the gaming state after the open / close execution mode is the high probability mode and the high frequency support mode is set, and the gaming state is continued until the gaming round is digested eight times. After that, the special figure special power counter is cleared to "0", and the value of the counter is updated from the one corresponding to the special power termination process to the one corresponding to the special figure fluctuation start process (step S1004).

<Processing configuration for performing execution control of effects in the sound light side MPU 82>
Next, the processing configuration executed to control the execution of the effect in the sound light side MPU 82 will be described. FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing the effect control processing for the game run executed by the sound light side MPU 82. Note that the effect control process for the game cycle is repeatedly activated by the sound light side MPU 82 in a relatively short cycle (for example, 2 milliseconds).

  If the game-use effect (i.e., the effect to be executed during the game) is not being executed (step S1101: NO), it is determined whether or not the variation command and type command are received from the main MPU 62 (step S1102) ). When affirmation determination is carried out in step S1102, the memory process of a game result is performed (step S1103). Specifically, from the information included in the variation command and the type command, the result of the success / failure determination process and the result of the type determination process executed by the main MPU 62 at the start of the current game run are specified, The identified information is written to the sound side RAM 84. In the storage process, the lottery result data included in the variation command is compared with the lottery result data included in the type command, and the communication of the variation command and the type command is normally performed. It may be determined whether the communication is abnormal or not, and if the communication is abnormal, the notification process and the data storage process corresponding to it may be performed.

  Thereafter, storage processing of the display continuation period is executed (step S1104). Specifically, from the information contained in the variation command, the information of the display continuation period in the current game is identified, and the identified information is set in the timer counter provided in the sound side RAM 84. The value set in the timer counter is decremented by one each time the effect control process for game play is activated.

  Thereafter, the effect side data shift process is executed (step S1105). In the effect side data shift process, a process of shifting the data stored in the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the effect side hold area 125 upward is performed. Specifically, second unit area 125b → first unit area 125a, third unit area 125c → second unit area 125b, fourth unit area 125d → third unit area 125c, fifth unit area 125e → fourth unit Area 125 d, sixth unit area 125 f → fifth unit area 125 e, seventh unit area 125 g → sixth unit area 125 f, eighth unit area 125 h → seventh unit area 125 g, etc. Data in each unit area 125 a to 125 h And the eighth unit area 125 h is cleared to “0”.

  After that, after executing the effect determination process for determining the content of the current game conversion effect (step S1106), the variation command corresponding to the result of the effect determination process is transmitted to the display MPU 92 (step S1107) . The display MPU 92 starts the current game circulation effect in the symbol display device 41 in accordance with the contents of the variation command.

<Special presentation at the time of big hit>
Here, in the pachinko machine 10, at least a special effect at the time of a big hit, a pseudo continuous effect, and a hold effect are set as effects for game use. Among these effects, the special effects at the time of the jackpot will be described first.

  A special effect at the time of big hit is a game circulation triggered by the special figure side hold information that is a big hit result in a situation where the special figure side hold information that is a big hit result in the high probability mode is put on hold in the high probability mode Is an effect that occurs with a certain probability when it is executed. That is, when a special effect at the time of big hit is generated, the special view side not only becomes a big hit result in the game round where the special effect at the time of big hit is generated, but also the special view side stored in reserve area 103 at that time It is determined that the jackpot result will be achieved even in the game round triggered by the hold information. Therefore, the player pays attention to whether or not the special effect at the time of the big hit occurs. In addition, the special effect at the time of big hit is executed in a mode corresponding to the number of pieces of special drawing side hold information corresponding to the big hit result stored on hold in the hold area 103.

  We will explain in detail the special effects at the time of the jackpot. FIGS. 21 (a) to 21 (h) are explanatory diagrams for explaining the special effects at the time of the jackpot. The effects shown in FIGS. 21 (a) to 21 (h) are performed within the range of one game circulation effect.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (a), movement display of symbols is started in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 in the symbol display device 41 as the start of the effect for game use. In addition, at the stage when the movement display of the symbol is started, eight special drawing side holding information is held and stored in the holding area 103, so eight holding unit images GR are arranged side by side in the lower part of the symbol display device 41. Is displayed. However, even when the number of the special drawing side holding information smaller than eight is held and stored in the holding area 103, the special effect at the time of the jackpot can be executed.

  Thereafter, the reach effect is not executed and movement display of the symbol is performed as shown in FIG. 21 (b), and standby display is started. In this case, a combination of symbols “1 · 2 · 3” is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 as the temporary stop symbol combination G1. The temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed not only as a stop effect as a temporary stop effect in the special effect at the time of big hit, but also in a standby time and still displayed in the game times corresponding to the out result in the case where the special effect at the time of big hit is not executed obtain. When the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed stationary in the game round corresponding to the out result, the game round is ended as it is.

  In addition, if temporary stop symbol combination G1 is a combination which does not produce the combination of a reach symbol, and it is not a combination of the same symbol, it is arbitrary. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the temporary stop symbol combination G1 may be a combination that generates a combination of reach symbols but may not be a combination of the same symbols.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 21C, an image “Press the button!” Is displayed on the symbol display device 41 as an operation instruction image G2 for urging the player to operate the effect operation unit 57. In addition, although the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is non-displayed when the operation indication image G2 is displayed in FIG.21 (c), it is not limited to this and the display of the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is continued. Alternatively, the operation instruction image G2 may be displayed. In this case, the display mode of the operation instruction image G2 is arbitrary, and may be displayed so as to overlap from the temporary stop symbol combination G1 from the front side, and display is performed so as to avoid overlapping with the temporary stop symbol combination G1. It may be configured as

  As shown in FIG. 21D, when the player operates the effect operation unit 57 or the operation effective period has elapsed without the operation of the effect operation unit 57 with respect to the operation instruction image G2 being displayed. As described above, the movement display of the symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 in the symbol display device 41. Then, after the movement display of symbols is performed for a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds), the same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2, as shown in FIG. 21 (e). As a result, the player can grasp that the big hit result occurs in the current game round, and that the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the big hit result is held and stored in the hold area 103. It becomes possible to grasp.

  In addition, it is not limited to the configuration in which the operation instruction image G2 is displayed after the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby only in the game round where the special effect at the time of big hit is generated. That is, even if the game is not a special effect at the time of the big hit, even after the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby and the operation instruction image G2 is displayed, regardless of whether the effect operation unit 57 is operated thereafter The temporary stop symbol combination G1 may be displayed without occurrence of re-variation. In this case, the player can not be convinced that the jackpot result will occur in a situation where the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the jackpot result is still held at the stage when the operation instruction image G2 is displayed. It is possible to sustain the sense of expectation of In addition, even when the game is not a special effect at the time of the big hit even if the temporary operation symbol image G2 is displayed after the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is stopped and displayed, or when the effect operation unit 57 is operated or When the effective period has elapsed, the movement display of the symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is resumed, but the temporary stop symbol combination G1 may be displayed on standby again when the movement display is stopped. In this case, the player is convinced that the jackpot result occurs in a situation where the special view side hold information corresponding to the jackpot result is held and stored at the stage where the movement display of the symbol is resumed after the display of the operation instruction image G2. It is possible to make the player's sense of expectation last more.

  If there is one special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the holding area 103 for holding, more symbols will be displayed when the same symbol combination G3 shown in FIG. 21 (e) is displayed on standby. The game use effect is ended without the movement display of being performed. On the other hand, if there are two or more special view side suspension information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the suspension area 103 for suspension, and there is still a margin in the display continuation period of the current game, as shown in FIG. As shown in 21 (f), the operation instruction image G2 is displayed again. On the other hand, when the player operates the effect operation unit 57 or when the operation effective period has elapsed without the effect operation unit 57 being operated, all symbols in the symbol display device 41 as shown in FIG. The movement display of symbols is resumed at columns Z1 to Z3. Then, after the movement display of symbols is performed for a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds), the same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 as shown in FIG. 21 (h). As a result, it becomes possible for the player to grasp that at least two pieces of special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result are held in the holding area 103.

  Here, the same symbol combination G3 shown in FIG. 21 (e) (hereinafter referred to as the first same symbol combination G3) and the same symbol combination G4 shown in FIG. 21 (h) (hereinafter referred to as the second same symbol combination G4 ) Is different from the type of symbol. The first same symbol combination G3 corresponds to one of the special figure side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the holding area 103 for holding, and the second same symbol combination G4 is for the holding area 103 It corresponds to two or more of the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result stored on hold. That is, the special effect at the time of the jackpot shown in FIG. 21 suggests that there are three or more pieces of special drawing side reservation information corresponding to the jackpot result in the holding area 103. Therefore, the open / close execution mode is generated after the game is over, and the special drawing side hold information stored in the hold area 103 is all digested to generate three or more open / close execution modes. It will be done. On the other hand, when there are two special drawing side reservation information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the reservation area 103 for suspension, the second symbol combination G4 is selected instead of the second same symbol combination G4 at the timing shown in FIG. The same symbol combination G3 of 1 will be stopped and displayed. As described above, the number of times that the same symbol combination G3, G4 is stopped and displayed, and the number of special figure side suspension information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the suspension area 103 from the type of the same symbol combination G3, G4. The player can grasp. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's attention to the special effect at the time of the big hit.

  Hereinafter, a specific processing configuration for executing a special effect at the time of big hit will be described. FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing an effect determination process to be executed in step S1106 in the effect control process (FIG. 20) for game use.

  When the current game round corresponds to the jackpot result (step S1201: YES), the probability is high in any of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h in the effect-side holding area 125 of the sound light side RAM 84 It is determined whether jackpot information is set (step S1202). As already described, the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the effect holding area 125 correspond to the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the holding area 103, and the first to eighth areas 111 The information corresponding to the result of the destination identification process (FIG. 13) executed on the special drawing side holding information stored in 118 to 118 is in the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the effect holding area 125 It is memorized.

  Here, when the jackpot results and the open / close execution mode is generated, the high probability mode is maintained until the game times are digested eight times after the end of the open / close execution mode, whereas the hold storage in the holding area 103 The number of possible special drawing side holding information is eight. And, the special drawing side holding information which is held and stored becomes the start target of the game times in the order of acquisition order from the earliest. Therefore, when the jackpot results and the open / close execution mode is generated, the special drawing side hold information stored in the hold area 103 at least before the open / close execution mode is generated is the execution of the game time under the high probability mode It will be digested as a subject. Under such circumstances, in determining whether or not to execute the special effect at the time of big hit, it is determined whether or not the special drawing side hold information which is the result of the big hit in the high probability mode is held and stored.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1202, an execution lottery process of a series of fixed establishment effects is executed (step S1203). The continuous fixed effect effect is an effect that indicates to the player that a big hit result will occur in a situation where the special view side hold information that will be a big hit result in the high probability mode is held and stored. The connected fixed decision effect is performed by lighting the fixed light emitting part 126 provided on the upper part of the variable display unit 36 of the game board 24, and this lit state is the effect for the game time when the corresponding fixed fixed effect is executed Continue until finished.

  The timing at which the consecutive fixed effect is executed is arbitrary, and may occur at various timings of the game round that results in the jackpot result in the situation where the special map side hold information that results in the jackpot result in the high probability mode is held and stored. . As the timing concerned, for example, the start timing of the game turn, the timing when the fluctuation display of symbols in some symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is stopped, the start timing of reach effect, the timing during reach effect, the end timing of reach effect, The timing at which the combination of symbols corresponding to the jackpot result is stopped and displayed, and the timing after the combination of symbols corresponding to the jackpot result is stopped and displayed and before the opening / closing execution mode is started are set. It means that multiple opening / closing execution modes occur when the special drawing side hold information stored in the holding area 103 is all digested when the consecutive establishment fixed effect occurs, so the continuous establishment fixed effect It is possible to increase the player's attention to the

  However, although the execution timing of the consecutive villa determination effect is set as described above, regardless of the number of special view side suspension information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the suspension area 103, the consecutive villa determination effect is To be executed. Therefore, when consecutive fixed decision production occurs, that the game times where the consecutive fixed decision production occurs corresponds to the big hit result, and the special figure side reservation information which corresponds to the large hit result in retention area 103 is stored Although it is possible for the player to grasp that it is being played, the player can not grasp how many pieces of special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result are held and stored in the holding area 103 . As a result, it is possible to make the player expect that a plurality of special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result is held and stored in the holding area 103 when the continuous play determination effect is executed.

  In the execution lottery process of the continuous fixed effect production, while acquiring numerical information from the random number counter for continuous fixed establishment effect which is periodically renewed in the sound side RAM84, the acquired numerical information is stored beforehand in the sound side ROM 83 It is checked against the table for continuous effect fixed. If it is determined that execution of the consecutive villa determination effect has been won (step S1204: YES), the execution table of the consecutive chamber determination effect is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 (step S1205). In the execution lottery process of the consecutive villa determination effect, not only whether or not to execute the consecutive villa determination effect is drawn, but also when the execution of the consecutive villa determination effect is won, the execution timing of the consecutive villa determination effect is also lottery . In step S1205, the sound-side ROM 83 reads out an execution table of a series-defined effect corresponding to the execution timing determined in the selection lottery process of the series-defined effect.

  The sound light side MPU 82 refers to the read execution table of the consecutive villa determination effect, and the consecutive villa determination is determined at the timing determined by the execution lottery process of the consecutive villa determination effect in the current game circulation effect. The presentation will be executed. Specifically, when it becomes the execution timing of the consecutive establishment determination effect shown in the execution table of the consecutive establishment determination effect in the gaming round where the consecutive arrangement finalization effect is executed, the effect control processing for the game circulation (Figure 20 By making an affirmative determination in step S1101 and step S1114 of), the start process of the consecutive villa determination effect is executed (step S1116). In the start process, the finalized light emitting unit 126 is switched from the off state to the on state. The lighted state is switched to the lighted-off state when the current game play effect ends.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1204, or if the process of step S1205 is performed, it is determined whether or not the holding effect is being performed (step S1206). Although the details of the hold effect will be described later, when the hold effect is being executed, the special effect at the time of the jackpot is not performed by making an affirmative determination in step S1206. This makes it possible to prevent the holding effect and the special effect at the time of the big hit from being performed in duplicate.

  When the holding effect is not being executed (step S1206: NO), it is determined whether the display continuation period of the current game is a display continuation period in which a special effect at the time of big hit can be executed (step S1207). In the special effect at the time of big hit, as already explained, the execution period of the temporary stop effect, the period when the operation indication image G2 is displayed, the period when the symbol is re-varied, and the period when the same symbol combination G3, G4 is stopped is required at least Therefore, in order to execute the special effect at the time of the jackpot, the display continuation period of the game times needs to be a predetermined period (for example, 20 seconds) or more. In addition, when the display continuation period of game times is a predetermined period or more and the special effect at the time of big hit is not executed, reach effect corresponding to the display continuation period occurs in the game circulation effect of the game times.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1207, it is determined whether the current success or failure lottery mode is the low probability mode (step S1208). If it is the low probability mode (step S1208: YES), it is determined whether or not there is special drawing side holding information that results in a big hit in the high probability mode in the first holding range (step S1209). If the mode is the mode (step S1208: NO), it is determined whether or not special figure side suspension information that results in a big hit in the high probability mode is present in the second suspension range (step S1210).

  As described above, when the low probability mode is set, the support mode is set to the low frequency support mode so that the player aims to win a prize in the first actuation device 33 and flows down the left area PA2 in the game area PA. Perform the launch operation of Then, the first actuation device 33 generates an acquisition trigger for the first special view side suspension information, and the second special view detection sensor generates the acquisition trigger for the second special view side suspension information. Both sensors 33b are provided. Therefore, in the low probability mode, when the firing operation of the gaming ball is performed with the aim of winning in the first actuation device 33, eight special view side suspension information can be suspended and stored in the suspension area 103. On the other hand, in the high probability mode, since the support mode is the high frequency support mode, the player shoots the game ball so as to flow down the right side area PA3 in the game area PA with the aim of winning in the second actuation device 34. Do the operation. And although the 2nd operation detection sensor 34c which generates the acquisition trigger of the 2nd special view side reservation information is provided in the 2nd operation device 34, the sensor which generates the acquisition trigger of the 1st special view side storage information is provided although what is provided It is not done. In addition, even though the game ball is being fired to flow down the right side area PA3 in the game area PA, winning on the first actuation device 33 may occur, but the left area PA2 in the game area PA It is more difficult for a prize to be generated in the first actuating device 33 than in a situation where the game ball firing operation is performed so as to flow down. Therefore, in the high probability mode, when the game ball is being fired to aim for winning in the second actuation device 34, it is difficult to hold 8 special drawing side hold information in the hold area 103, 2) A state in which four special drawing side holding information, which is the upper limit number of the special drawing side holding information, is held and stored is likely to be the largest holding number.

  Under such circumstances, the first holding range is set as the range of the fifth to eighth special drawing side holding information in the digest order of game times, and the second hold range is three in the digest order of game times It is set as the range of the third to fourth special drawing side holding information. And if it is a low probability mode, special production at the time of big hit is executed on condition that the special figure side reservation information which becomes a big hit result in the high probability mode exists in the 1st holding range, and if it is a high probability mode The special effect at the time of the jackpot is executed on the condition that the special drawing side reservation information which becomes the jackpot result in the high probability mode is present in the second reserve range. Temporarily, in the low probability mode, as a special effect at the time of big hit in the situation where 8 special drawing side pending information is being held and stored, there is only one special drawing side pending information corresponding to the big hit result When a special effect at the time of big hit indicating that it is performed, if it is a big hit result in the first game time after the end of the opening and closing execution mode triggered by the game time when the special effect at the time of big hit was performed There is a high possibility that the remaining seven special drawing side holding information which has been held and held when the special effect at the time of the big hit is executed does not correspond to the big hit result. Then, the special effect at the time of the jackpot will indicate that the seven special drawing side holding information has a low expectation for the jackpot result. On the other hand, if the low probability mode as described above, the special effect at the time of the jackpot is executed on the condition that the special figure side hold information which is a big hit result in the high probability mode is held and stored in the first hold range. The special effect at the time of jackpot is executed on the condition that the special drawing side hold information which is a big hit result in the high probability mode is held in the second hold range if it is the high probability mode. It is possible to execute a jackpot special rendition while preventing the occurrence of the above-mentioned event.

  In step S1209, specifically, it is determined whether or not jackpot information at high probability is set in the fifth unit area 125e to the eighth unit area 125h of the effect-side storage area 125. Further, in step S1210, specifically, it is determined whether or not the jackpot information at the time of high probability is set in the third unit area 125c and the fourth unit area 125d of the effect holding area 125.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S1209 or step S1210, an execution lottery process of a special effect is executed (step S1211). In the special effect execution lottery process, the numerical information is acquired from the special effect random number counter periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Match against the production table. When it is winning execution of the special effect at the time of big hit (step S1212: YES), the unit area where big hit information at the time of high probability is remembered in the production side reserve area 125 in the hit number counter provided in the sound light side RAM84. The numbers 125a to 125h are set (step S1213). The hit number counter is a counter for specifying the hold number in the hold area 103 of the hold information which is a big hit result in the high probability mode by the sound light side MPU 82. Thereafter, the special effect table is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1214). By referring to the special effect table read out to the sound light side RAM 84 by the sound light side MPU 82, a special effect at the time of a big hit is executed in the present game circulation effect.

  In the effect determination process, in addition to the above-described processes, a process for determining a pseudo-series effect (step S1215) and a process for proceeding with a hold effect (step S1216) are executed. The contents of these processes will be described later. Further, in the effect determination process, other effect determination process is executed (step S1217). In the other effect determination process, the content of effects other than the special effect at the time of the big hit, the pseudo continuous effect, and the hold effect are determined. In this case, if it is a display continuation period corresponding to the predetermined reach, it is determined to execute the predetermined reach as the reach effect, and a table enabling the execution of the predetermined reach is read out from the sound side ROM 83, and other than the predetermined reach If it is a display continuation period corresponding to reach, it is decided to execute an effect other than the predetermined reach as reach effect, and a table enabling the execution of the effect is read out from the sound light side ROM 83. However, in the game round in which the special effect at the time of big hit is executed, a table in which the reach effect is not executed is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 regardless of the display continuation period. Further, in the other effect determination process, a combination of symbols to be stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 41 is determined in the game round where the special effect at the time of the big hit is not executed. In this case, when the current game time corresponds to the 4R high probability big hit result, the same even symbol combination is stopped and displayed on any valid line, and the current game time is 8R high probability big hit If it corresponds to the result, the combination of the same odd symbols other than the “7” symbol is stopped and displayed, and if it corresponds to the 16R high probability jackpot result, the “7” symbol combination is stopped Make it visible.

  When it is a game turn where a special effect at the time of big hit is executed, processing for special effect at the time of big hit is executed by making an affirmative determination in step S1101 and step S1108 of effect control processing for game turn (FIG. 20) (Step S1109). FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the special effect processing at the time of the jackpot.

  When it is specified that it is the timing to display the temporary stop symbol combination G1 in a standby state by referring to the special effect table read out to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1301: YES), the temporary stop effect setting process is executed. (Step S1302). In the setting process of the temporary stop effect, the light emission control of the display light emitting unit 53 and the sound output control of the speaker unit 54 are performed so that the effect corresponding to the state of displaying the temporary stop symbol combination G1 in a standby state is executed. Moreover, in the setting process of the said temporary stop production, the command corresponding to displaying the temporary stop symbol combination G1 on standby is transmitted to display side MPU92. When the display MPU 92 receives the command, the display control of the symbol display device 41 is performed so that the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on the middle line L2 in a standby manner. As a result, the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 of the symbol display device 41.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1301 or if the process of step S1302 is performed, the symbol display device 41 operates the effect operation unit 57 by referring to the special effect table read in the sound light side RAM 84. It is determined whether it is the timing to display the operation instruction image G2 for prompting the player (step S1303). As the timing for displaying the operation instruction image G2, there exist a timing after displaying the temporary stop symbol combination G1 in a standby state and a timing after displaying the first same symbol combination G3 in a standby state. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1303, setting processing of an operation instruction effect is executed (step S1304). In the setting process of the operation instruction effect, the light emission control of the display light emitting unit 53 and the sound output control of the speaker unit 54 are performed so that the effect corresponding to the situation in which the operation instruction image G2 is displayed is executed. Further, in the setting process of the operation instruction effect, a command corresponding to displaying the operation instruction image G2 is transmitted to the display MPU 92. When the display MPU 92 receives the command, it controls the display of the symbol display device 41 so that the operation instruction image G2 is displayed. Thereby, the display of the operation instruction image G2 is started in the symbol display device 41.

  Thereafter, setting processing of the operation valid period is executed (step S1305). In the setting process of the operation valid period, numerical value information corresponding to the operation valid period (specifically, 5 seconds) is set in the valid period counter provided in the sound light side RAM 84. The numerical information set in the validity period counter is periodically subtracted (for example, a 4 millisecond cycle).

  If a negative determination is made in step S1303, or if the process of step S1305 is performed, whether or not the rendering operation unit 57 has been operated in a situation where the value of the valid period counter of the sound light side RAM 84 is 1 or more, or It is determined whether or not the value of the valid period counter of the sound light side RAM 84 becomes “0” in the situation where the instruction image G2 is displayed (step S1306). If an affirmative determination is made in step S1306, the value of the hit number counter in the sound light side RAM 84 is decremented by 1 (step S1307). As already explained, when the game turn where special effect at the time of big hit is executed is started, the number of hits counter is special figure side hold information which becomes big hit result in high probability mode which is kept stored in hold area 103 Is a counter for specifying the hold number of H.sup.

  If the value of the hit number counter after 1 subtraction is "0" (step S1308: YES), the first same symbol combination G3 is determined as the same symbol combination to be stopped this time (step S1309). Then, the process of setting the winning suggestion effect is executed (step S1310). In the process of setting the hit suggestion effect, the light emission control of the display light emitting unit 53 and the sound output control of the speaker unit 54 are performed so that the hit suggestion effect is executed. Further, in the process of setting the hit indication effect, the command for causing the first same symbol combination G3 to be displayed on standby in the middle line L2 after the movement display of the symbols is resumed along all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is displayed It transmits to MPU92. When the display MPU 92 receives the command, the symbol display device 41 is displayed so that the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 after the movement display of symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. Display control. By displaying the first same symbol combination G3 on the symbol display device 41 in a standby manner, it is notified to the player that the jackpot result will occur again after the end of the present jackpot result.

  When the value of the hit number counter after 1 subtraction is 1 or more (step S1308: NO), the execution room of the hit suggestion effect is determined (step S1311). In the determination process, the period required to complete standby display of the same symbol combination G3, G4 after removing the symbols along the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is subtracted from the remaining display continuation period of the current game run Whether or not the period of the result of the operation is the total period of the operation effective period and the period required to complete the standby display of the same symbol combination G3, G4 after re-moving the symbols along the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 Determine if That is, after the symbols are moved again along the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 and the same symbol combination G3, G4 is displayed on standby, the symbols are further moved along the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 with the operation effective period interposed therebetween. It is determined whether or not there is a remaining period sufficient for waiting display of the same symbol combination G3, G4 in the present game round. The execution period of the operation instruction effect varies depending on the presence / absence of the operation of the effect operation unit 57 and the operation timing because the operation effective period exists. Therefore, there are cases where it is determined that there is room for execution due to the length of the operation effective period even if it is the same display continuation period and when it is determined that there is no room for execution.

  If the period of the above-mentioned subtraction result is more than the above-mentioned total period, there is room for execution (step S1312: YES), the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 wait display of the same symbol combination G3, G4 several times after re-moving Execute processing to generate. Specifically, first, the first same symbol combination G3 is determined as the same symbol combination to be displayed on standby this time (step S1313). Then, the process of setting a winning suggestion effect is executed (step S1314). In the process of setting the hit suggestion effect, the light emission control of the display light emitting unit 53 and the sound output control of the speaker unit 54 are performed so that the hit suggestion effect is executed. Moreover, in the setting process of the said hit suggestion production, the display side MPU 92 displays a command for causing the first same symbol combination G3 to be displayed on standby in the middle line L2 after movement display of symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. Send to When the display MPU 92 receives the command, the symbol display device 41 is displayed so that the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 after the movement display of symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. Display control. By displaying the first same symbol combination G3 on the symbol display device 41 in a standby manner, it is notified to the player that the jackpot result will occur again after the end of the present jackpot result. Thereafter, information for specifying the next operation instruction timing with the sound light side MPU 82 is set in the special effect table read out to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1315). The sound light side MPU 82 can identify the next operation instruction timing by confirming this information.

  If the period of the above-mentioned subtraction result is less than the above-mentioned total period, there is no room for execution (step S1312: NO), suggesting that two or more special drawing side reservation information corresponding to the jackpot result exists Execute the process to Specifically, first, the second same symbol combination G4 is determined as the same symbol combination to be displayed on standby this time (step S1316). Then, the process of setting a winning suggestion effect is executed (step S1317). In the process of setting the hit suggestion effect, the light emission control of the display light emitting unit 53 and the sound output control of the speaker unit 54 are performed so that the hit suggestion effect is executed. Moreover, in the setting process of the said hit suggestion production, the display side MPU 92 displays a command for causing the second same symbol combination G4 to be displayed on standby in the middle line L2 after movement display of symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. Send to When the display side MPU 92 receives the command, the symbol display device 41 is displayed so that the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 after the movement display of symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. Display control. As a result, the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby in the symbol display device 41, and it is informed to the player that the jackpot result additionally occurs a plurality of times after the end of the present jackpot result. After that, the hit number counter of the sound light side RAM 84 is cleared to “0” (step S1318).

  Next, how a special effect at the time of a big hit is performed will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. Fig.24 (a) shows the execution period of game times, FIG.24 (b) shows the execution period of temporary stop production in which temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby, and FIG.24 (c) is the operation indication image G2. The execution period of the operation instruction effect to be displayed is shown, and FIG. 24 (d) repositions the symbols along the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 and displays the same symbol combination G3, G4 on standby, and further interposes the operation effective period. The remaining room period sufficient to allow the same symbol combination G3, G4 to be displayed on standby by re-moving the symbols along the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 in the game sequence is indicated in this game round, FIG.24 (e) shows the execution period of the suggestion effect production which the same symbol combination G3, G4 is standby-displayed after the movement display of a symbol is resumed by all the symbol row Z1-Z3, and FIG.24 (f) is the 2nd 1 same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby It indicates it is time, FIG. 24 (g) shows a period during which the second identical symbol combinations G4 is displayed waiting.

  First, there will be described a case where a special effect at the time of big hit is executed in a situation where only one piece of pending information corresponding to the big hit result is stored in the pending area 103.

  At the timing of t1, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), a game round in which a special effect at the time of big hit is executed is started. In this case, since a special effect at the time of a big hit has not yet occurred, as shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), the temporary stop effect is started at the timing of t2. That is, the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 in the symbol display device 41. The state in which the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby is continued until the timing of t3 as shown in FIG. 24 (b).

  At the timing of t3, an operation instruction effect is started as shown in FIG. That is, the display of the operation instruction image G2 is started in the symbol display device 41. Then, when the operation effective period elapses without the effect operation unit 57 being operated at the timing of t4, the operation instruction effect is ended as shown in FIG. 24C, and as shown in FIG. Suggestive staging is started. When the hit suggestion effect is started, the movement display of the symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 of the symbol display device 41. Then, at the timing of t5, as shown in FIG. 24 (f), the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 of the symbol display device 41. The state in which the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby is switched to the state in which it is displayed still on the way, and the state displayed statically is continued until the timing of t7 which is the timing when the current game round ends. . Note that, as shown in FIG. 24 (d), the execution margin period ends at the timing of t6, which is the timing before the timing of t7.

  The player who confirms that the first same symbol combination G3 has been displayed on standby after the temporary stop symbol combination G1 has been displayed on standby as described above is not only generating a big hit result in this game round It will be recognized that the jackpot result will occur again before all the special drawing side holding information currently held and stored in the holding area 103 is digested. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  Next, a case will be described where a special effect at the time of jackpot is executed in a situation where four pieces of special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result are stored in the holding area 103.

  At the timing of t8, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), a game run in which a special effect at the time of big hit is executed is started. In this case, since a special effect at the time of a big hit has not yet occurred, as shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), the temporary stop effect is started at the timing of t9. That is, the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 in the symbol display device 41. The state in which the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby is continued until the timing of t10 as shown in FIG. 24 (b).

  At the timing of t10, the operation instruction effect is started as shown in FIG. 24 (c). That is, the display of the operation instruction image G2 is started in the symbol display device 41. Then, as the effect operation unit 57 is operated at the timing of t11, the operation instruction effect is ended as shown in FIG. 24 (c), and the hit indication effect is started as shown in FIG. 24 (e). In this case, in a situation where four special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result is stored in the holding area 103, it is the execution time of the first hit indication effect and the execution room period as shown in FIG. 24 (d) Therefore, the first same symbol combination G3 corresponding to the presence of one special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result is determined as a standby display target. When the hit suggestion effect is started, the movement display of the symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 of the symbol display device 41. Then, at the timing of t12, as shown in FIG. 24 (f), the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 of the symbol display device 41. The state in which the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby is continued until the timing of t13.

  At the timing of t13, the operation instruction effect is started again as shown in FIG. That is, the display of the operation instruction image G2 is started in the symbol display device 41. Then, as the effect operation unit 57 is operated at the timing of t14, the operation instruction effect is ended as shown in FIG. 24 (c), and the hit indication effect is started as shown in FIG. 24 (e). In this case, in a situation where four special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result is stored in the holding area 103, it is the execution times of the second winning suggestion effect and the execution room period as shown in FIG. 24 (d) Therefore, the first same symbol combination G3 corresponding to the presence of one special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result is determined as a standby display target. When the hit suggestion effect is started, the movement display of the symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 of the symbol display device 41. Then, at the timing of t15, as shown in FIG. 24 (f), the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 of the symbol display device 41. The state in which the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby is continued until the timing of t16.

  At the timing of t16, the operation instruction effect is started again as shown in FIG. That is, the display of the operation instruction image G2 is started in the symbol display device 41. In this case, the execution allowance period ends at the timing of t16 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the effect operation unit 57 is operated at timing of t17, whereby the operation instruction effect is ended as shown in FIG. 24C, and the hit indication effect is started as shown in FIG. 24E. In this case, in the situation where four special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result is stored in the holding area 103, although it is the third execution time of the percussion indication effect, as shown in FIG. 24 (d), the execution room period Since it is not, the second same symbol combination G4 corresponding to the existence of a plurality of special drawing side reservation information corresponding to the jackpot result is determined as a standby display target. When the hit suggestion effect is started, the movement display of the symbols is resumed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 of the symbol display device 41. Then, at the timing of t18, as shown in FIG. 24 (g), the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby in the middle line L2 of the symbol display device 41. The state in which the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby is switched to the state in which it is displayed still on the way, and the state displayed in a stopped state is continued until the timing of t19 which is the timing when the current game round ends. .

  In addition, when it is the situation where three special drawing side reservation information corresponding to the big hit result is stored in the storage area 103, the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby at the end and then displayed still. It will be. That is, the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby for the same number of times as the number of the special-figure-side retention information corresponding to the big hit result stored on hold.

  As described above, when a plurality of special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result is stored in the holding area 103 for holding, the same symbol combination G3, G4 is standby displayed a plurality of times, so that the same symbol combination G3, It is possible to associate the number of times G4 is displayed in a standby manner with the number of pieces of special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result stored on hold. As a result, even if the same symbol combination G3, G4 is temporarily displayed on standby, the player is expected to generate an operation instruction effect again and to generate another standby display of the same symbol combination G3, G4. It becomes. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  Moreover, when the special figure side reservation information corresponding to the big hit result more than the number of times by which the same symbol combination G3, G4 is displayed in a standby manner is stored on hold, the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed at the last stop display. Is displayed on standby and then displayed still. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention not only to the standby display of the same symbol combination G3 and G4 and the number of times of the standby display but also to the type of the same symbol combination G3 and G4 displayed on standby. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

<Simulated series effect>
Next, the pseudo series effect will be described.

  In the pseudo series effect, movement display of the symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is started in the symbol display device 41, and movement display of the symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is stopped and the symbols in each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 The unit change display cycle is an effect that occurs a plurality of times in one game cycle when one unit change display cycle is performed until the standby display is completed. The presence or absence of generation of the pseudo-series effect is determined according to the result of the success / failure determination processing and the reach determination processing of the special drawing side suspension information that has triggered the start of the game number of times when starting the game number of times. The unit change display cycle is configured to occur up to three times in one game cycle. The game cycle in which the pseudo series effect is generated has a high expectation that the big hit result will be more than the game cycle in which the pseudo series effect is not generated, and the one with a large number of unit fluctuation display cycles generated in the pseudo series effect is It has a configuration with high expectations for the jackpot result.

  In the game circulation effect in the symbol display device 41, in the situation where one unit fluctuation display cycle is being executed, the player is expected to expect whether or not a unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated in the game circulation. Occurrence expectation effects can occur. There are point effects and continuous effects in the occurrence expectation effects.

  The point effect is a unit when the effect of giving a point to the player is generated and the sum of the given points reaches a reference point (specifically, 3 points) defined as a plurality of points. It is an effect that a new occurrence of the variable display cycle is decided. There are multiple types of points that can be provided by one presentation effect. Not only points less than the reference point but also points equal to or higher than the reference point are present in the points that can be provided.

  Specifically, there are 1 point, 2 points, 3 points, and 4 points as points that can be provided. For example, the total of the grant points reaches the reference point by the occurrence of the grant effect that the one point is the grant target three times, and then the unit variation display cycle is newly generated and the four points are the grant target Even when the effect occurs once, the unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated after the award point reaches the reference point at that time. In addition, when the unit variation display cycle newly occurs when the assignment point reaches the reference point, the reference point is subtracted from the assignment point, but the remaining assignment points after subtraction are the newly generated unit It is taken over in the variable display cycle. As a result, in each unit variation display cycle, the player not only expects the award points to reach the reference points, but also expects the award points to exceed the reference points.

  The total of the grant points is clearly indicated in the symbol display device 41, and when the reference point is subtracted from the grant points by newly generating unit variation display times, the total of the grant points after the subtraction is in the symbol display device 41 Be explicit. In addition, a plurality of types of timings at which an effect is generated in one unit change display cycle are set. As the generation timing, the timing when the movement display of the symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the timing when the movement display of the symbols is stopped in the upper symbol row Z1, and the movement display of the symbols in the upper symbol row Z1 The timing at which movement display of symbols is performed in the remaining symbol rows Z2 and Z3 while the symbol display is stopped, the timing at which movement display of symbols in the lower pattern row Z3 is stopped, and upper symbol row Z1 and lower pattern row There is a timing at which movement display of symbols is stopped at Z3 and movement display of symbols is performed at middle symbol row Z2.

  FIGS. 25 (a) to 25 (h) are explanatory diagrams for describing a situation in which a new occurrence of a unit change display cycle is notified by point effects. The effects shown in FIGS. 25 (a) to 25 (h) are performed within the range of one game routine effect.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (a), movement display of symbols is started in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 in the symbol display device 41 as the start of the effect for game use. In this case, the start of the game effect corresponds to the start of one unit change display cycle. Further, at the right corner of the symbol display device 41, a point notification area PG for notifying the player of the total provision points is displayed. At the timing when the game-use effect is started, no points have been given yet in the current game run, so the point notification area PG has display contents indicating that the total provided points are 0 points. In addition, since five special drawing side suspension information is stored on hold in the area for suspension 103 at the stage when variable display of symbols is started, five suspension unit images GR are arranged side by side in the lower part of symbol display device 41 Is displayed.

  After that, it is the first unit variation display cycle, and in the situation where movement display of symbols is continued in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, that one point is given as an effect as shown in FIG. 25 (b) An attached image GG is displayed. As a result, since the total grant point is one point, an image indicating that the total grant point is one point is displayed in the point notification area PG.

  Thereafter, at the first unit variation display cycle, at the timing when the movement display of symbols in upper symbol sequence Z1 is stopped, as shown in FIG. 25C, an added image GG indicating that one point is applied as an added effect Is displayed. As a result, since the total grant points are two points, an image indicating that the total grant points are two points is displayed in the point notification area PG.

  After that, in the first unit variation display cycle, the movement display of the symbols in the lower row design row Z3 is stopped. In this case, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), when the symbol "3" is stopped on the middle line L2 of the upper symbol row Z1, the symbol "1" is on the middle line L2 of the lower row Z3. It is stopped. That is, in the situation where the movement display of the symbols in the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower symbol row Z3 is stopped, the combination of the reach symbols is not formed. And movement display of the design of middle design pattern row Z2 is continued in this situation. Further, at the timing when the movement display of the symbols in the lower row design row Z3 is stopped, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), an attached image GG indicating that one point is applied as an attached effect is displayed. As a result, since the total provision point is 3 points, an image indicating that the total provision point is 3 points is displayed in the point notification area PG. That is, the total awarding point reaches the reference point.

  Thereafter, the symbol "4" is stopped on the middle line L2 of the middle symbol row Z2. In this case, as shown in FIG. 25 (e), the combination of symbols “3.4.1” is displayed on standby in the middle as a combination of pseudo-continuous generation symbols on the middle line L2. In addition, in the situation where the combination of the pseudo continuous generation symbols is displayed on standby, the continuation determined image CG for notifying the player that the unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated is displayed. After the continuation determination image CG is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds), unit display is performed by starting the movement display of the symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 again as shown in FIG. The player is notified that the display cycle has newly occurred. However, even in this case, the special drawing side suspension information is not digested because one game cycle is continued without ending. Therefore, a state in which five holding unit images GR are displayed side by side is maintained at the lower part of the symbol display device 41. In addition, point effect may occur even in the game times where the pseudo-series effect is not generated, but in this case, the total grant points never reach the reference point, and furthermore, the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower figure pattern Although the symbols forming the combination of the pseudo continuous generation symbols are stopped on the middle line L2 of the row Z3, the symbols forming the combination of the pseudo continuous generation symbols are not stopped on the middle line L2 of the middle symbol row Z2.

  Thereafter, the movement display of the symbols in the upper symbol row Z1 and the movement display of the symbols in the lower pattern row Z3 are sequentially stopped, so that the movement display of the symbols is only in the middle symbol row Z2 as shown in FIG. It will be in the state of being In this case, since the symbol "3" is stopped on the middle line L2 in each of the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower symbol row Z3, a combination of reach symbols is displayed in a standby state.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 25 (h), the movement display of the symbols in the middle symbol row Z2 is stopped, and the current unit variation display cycle is ended and the present game circulation effect is ended. In this case, the symbol "3" which is the same as the symbol forming the combination of reach symbols on the middle line L2 of the middle symbol row Z2 is stopped and displayed. As a result, the player is notified that the current game play corresponds to the jackpot result. However, even if the pseudo-series effect with the point effect is performed as described above, the combination of the jackpot symbols may not be stopped and displayed in the end.

  The continuation effect is an effect that makes the player expect a new occurrence of a unit change display cycle, and the content of the effect is developed up to a reference stage defined as a plurality of stages, and a new occurrence of the unit change display cycle is decided It is the effect that becomes. The standard stage is set to three stages, and the stage of staying is notified to the player by the continuous effect character and the display mode of the character image. There are a plurality of types of timings at which the content of the continuous presentation develops. As the development timing, the same timing as the point production occurrence timing is set. Specifically, as the development timing, the timing when movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the timing when movement display of symbols is stopped in upper symbol row Z1, and the upper symbol row Z1 The timing at which the movement display of the symbols is stopped and the movement display of the symbols is performed in the remaining symbol rows Z2 and Z3, the timing at which the movement display of the symbols is stopped in the pattern row Z3 below, and the upper symbol row There is a timing at which movement display of symbols is stopped in Z1 and the lower row design row Z3 and movement display of symbols is performed in middle symbol row Z2.

  FIGS. 26 (a) to 26 (h) are explanatory diagrams for describing a situation in which a new occurrence of a unit change display cycle is notified by continuous effect. The effects shown in FIGS. 26 (a) to 26 (h) are performed within the range of one game routine effect.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (a), the movement display of symbols is started in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 in the symbol display device 41 as the start of the effect for game use. In this case, the start of the game effect corresponds to the start of one unit change display cycle. Further, at the right corner of the symbol display device 41, a point notification area PG for notifying the player of the total provision points is displayed. At the timing when the game-use effect is started, no points have been given yet in the current game run, so the point notification area PG has display contents indicating that the total provided points are 0 points. In addition, since five special figure side pending information is pending stored in the pending area 103 at the stage when the movement display of the symbol is started, five pending unit images GR are arranged side by side in the lower part of the symbol display device 41 Is displayed.

  After that, in the first unit variation display cycle, in the situation where the variation display of symbols is continued in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the display of the continuation effect character CH is started as shown in FIG. 26 (b). As a result, the player is notified that the continuation effect has been started, and the display of the one-step corresponding image SG1 corresponding to the first step of the continuation effect "continue?" The player is informed that this is the first stage of the effect.

  Thereafter, at the first unit variation display cycle and at the timing when the movement display of symbols in upper symbol column Z1 is stopped, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), instead of the one-step corresponding image SG1, The display of the two-step correspondence image SG2 corresponding to the second step of the continuous effect is started. Thus, the player is informed that the current state is the second stage of the continuous effect. In addition, when continuation production is started, although 1st stage production content generate | occur | produces reliably, the production content after 2nd stage may not generate | occur | produce. In this case, since the continuous effect is not completed, the new occurrence of the unit fluctuation display cycle is not notified in the continuous effect.

  After that, in the first unit variation display cycle, the movement display of the symbols in the lower row design row Z3 is stopped. In this case, as shown in FIG. 26 (d), when the symbol "3" is stopped on the middle line L2 of the upper symbol row Z1, the symbol "1" is on the middle line L2 of the lower row Z3. It is stopped. That is, in the situation where the movement display of the symbols in the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower symbol row Z3 is stopped, the combination of the reach symbols is not formed. And movement display of the design of middle design pattern row Z2 is continued in this situation. Also, at the timing when the movement display of the symbol in the lower figure design row Z3 is stopped, as shown in FIG. 26 (d), instead of the two-step corresponding image SG2, it corresponds to the third step of the continuous effect of "continuous determination!" The display of the three-step correspondence image SG3 is started. Thus, the player is informed that the current state is the third stage of the continuous effect.

  Thereafter, the symbol "4" is stopped on the middle line L2 of the middle symbol row Z2. In this case, as shown in FIG. 26 (e), the combination of symbols “3.4.1” is displayed on standby in the middle as a combination of pseudo-continuous generation symbols on the middle line L2. In addition, in the situation where the combination of the pseudo continuous generation symbols is displayed on standby, the continuation determined image CG for notifying the player that the unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated is displayed. After the continuation confirmation image CG is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds), unit display is performed by starting the movement display of the symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 again as shown in FIG. The player is notified that the display cycle has newly occurred. However, even in this case, the special drawing side suspension information is not digested because one game cycle is continued without ending. Therefore, a state in which five holding unit images GR are displayed side by side is maintained at the lower part of the symbol display device 41. In addition, even if it is game times in which the pseudo-series effect is not generated, the continuous effect may occur, but in this case, the effect content of the continuous effect never reaches the third stage, and furthermore, the upper symbol row Z1 and Although the symbol forming the combination of the pseudo run generation symbol is stopped on the middle line L2 of the lower design handle row Z3, the design forming the combination of the pseudo run generation symbol is not stopped on the middle line L2 of the middle design row Z2 .

  Thereafter, the movement display of the symbols in the upper symbol row Z1 and the movement display of the symbols in the lower pattern row Z3 are sequentially stopped, so that the movement display of the symbols is only in the middle symbol row Z2 as shown in FIG. It will be in the state of being In this case, since the symbol "3" is stopped on the middle line L2 in each of the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower symbol row Z3, a combination of reach symbols is displayed in a standby state.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 26 (h), the movement display of the symbols in the middle symbol row Z2 is stopped, and the current unit variation display cycle is ended and the present game circulation effect is ended. In this case, the symbol "3" which is the same as the symbol forming the combination of reach symbols on the middle line L2 of the middle symbol row Z2 is stopped and displayed. As a result, the player is notified that the current game play corresponds to the jackpot result. However, the combination of the jackpot symbols may not be stopped and displayed even if the pseudo-series effect with the continuous effect is performed as described above.

  As described above, in a configuration in which point effects and continuous effects exist as occurrence expectation effects for causing the player to expect whether or not unit change display times are newly generated, points in one unit change display cycle It is the composition which can produce both a production and a continuation production. In this case, the unit variation display cycle is newly started when the total grant points reach the reference points before the continuous effect becomes the third stage effect contents, and the total grant points become the reference points. There is a case where the unit change display cycle is newly started when the continuation effect reaches the third stage effect contents before reaching.

  Here, a case will be described in which both point effects and continuous effects occur in one unit change display cycle. 27 (a) to FIG. 27 (h) show that both the point effect and the continuous effect occur in one unit change display cycle and the total grant points are the basis before the continuous effect becomes the third stage effect content It is an explanatory view for explaining a situation of reaching a point. Note that the effects shown in FIGS. 27 (a) to 27 (h) are performed within the range of one game circulation effect. In FIGS. 28 (a) to 28 (h), both the point effect and the continuous effect occur in one unit change display cycle and the continuous effect is at the third stage before the total award point reaches the reference point. It is an explanatory view for explaining a situation of reaching the contents of the effect of. The effects shown in FIGS. 28 (a) to 28 (h) are performed within the range of one game routine effect.

  As shown in FIGS. 27 (a) and 28 (a), movement display of symbols is started in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 in the symbol display device 41 as the start of the effect for game use. In this case, the start of the game effect corresponds to the start of one unit change display cycle. Further, at the right corner of the symbol display device 41, a point notification area PG for notifying the player of the total provision points is displayed. At the timing when the game-use effect is started, no points have been given yet in the current game run, so the point notification area PG has display contents indicating that the total provided points are 0 points. In addition, since five special figure side pending information is pending stored in the pending area 103 at the stage when the movement display of the symbol is started, five pending unit images GR are arranged side by side in the lower part of the symbol display device 41 Is displayed.

  Then, it is the first unit variation display time, and in a situation where movement display of symbols is continued in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, as shown in FIG. 27 (b) and FIG. 28 (b) An attached image GG indicating that the image is applied is displayed. As a result, since the total grant point is one point, an image indicating that the total grant point is one point is displayed in the point notification area PG.

  After that, in the first unit change display cycle, in the situation where movement display of symbols is continued in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, as shown in FIG. 27 (c) and FIG. 28 (c), a character for continuous effect The player is notified that the continuation effect has been started by the start of the display of the CH, and the display of the one-step corresponding image SG1 corresponding to the first step of the continuation effect "continue?" Is started Thus, the player is informed that the current state is the first stage of the continuous effect.

  Thereafter, at the first unit change display cycle and at the timing when the movement display of the symbols in upper symbol sequence Z1 is stopped, one point is given as an effect as shown in FIG. 27 (d) and FIG. 28 (d) An attached image GG indicating that is displayed. As a result, since the total grant points are two points, an image indicating that the total grant points are two points is displayed in the point notification area PG.

  Thereafter, it is the first unit variation display cycle, and movement display of symbols in upper symbol column Z1 is stopped and movement display of symbols in middle symbol column Z2 and lower pattern column Z3 is continued, respectively. As shown in FIG. 27E and FIG. 28E, instead of the one-step correspondence image SG1, the display of the two-step correspondence image SG2 corresponding to the second step of the continuous effect of “is it?” Is started. Thus, the player is informed that the current state is the second stage of the continuous effect.

  As described above, in a situation where the total grant points are 2 points and the effect content of the continuous effect is the second step, the total grant points reach the reference points before the effect content of the continuous effect becomes the third step In the case where the symbol “3” is stopped on the middle line L2 of the upper symbol row Z1 as shown in FIG. 27 (f), the symbol “1” on the middle line L2 of the lower row Z3. At the timing at which the image is stopped, an attached image GG is displayed that indicates that one point has been applied as the effect. As a result, since the total provision point is 3 points, an image indicating that the total provision point is 3 points is displayed in the point notification area PG. That is, the total awarding point reaches the reference point.

  Thereafter, the symbol "4" is stopped on the middle line L2 of the middle symbol row Z2. In this case, as shown in FIG. 27 (g), the combination of symbols “3.4.1” is displayed on standby in the middle as a combination of pseudo-continuous generation symbols on the middle line L2. In addition, in the situation where the combination of the pseudo continuous generation symbols is displayed on standby, the continuation determined image CG for notifying the player that the unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated is displayed. Then, after the continuation confirmation image CG is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds), movement display of symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is started again as shown in FIG. 27 (h). The player is notified that the unit fluctuation display cycle has newly occurred. However, even in this case, the special drawing side suspension information is not digested because one game cycle is continued without ending. Therefore, a state in which five holding unit images GR are displayed side by side is maintained at the lower part of the symbol display device 41. In addition, since the continuous effect is not continued across multiple unit change display times, the unit change display time ends and a new unit change display time is ended without the content of the continuous effect reaching the third stage. Even when the unit variation display cycle on the front side is finished even if the start of the continuous effect is finished.

  On the other hand, if the content of the effect of the continuous effect reaches the third stage before the total grant point reaches the reference point, as shown in FIG. 28 (f), “3” on the middle line L2 of the upper symbol row Z1. At the timing when the symbol “1” is stopped on the middle line L2 of the pattern row Z3 in the situation where the symbol is stopped, instead of the two-step correspondence image SG2, 3 The display of the three-step correspondence image SG3 corresponding to the step is started. Thus, the player is informed that the current state is the third stage of the continuous effect.

  After that, the symbol of "4" is stopped on the middle line L2 of the middle symbol row Z2. In this case, as shown in FIG. 28 (g), the combination of symbols “3.4.1” is displayed on standby from above as a combination of pseudo continuous generation symbols on the middle line L2. In addition, in the situation where the combination of the pseudo continuous generation symbols is displayed on standby, the continuation determined image CG for notifying the player that the unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated is displayed. Then, after the continuation confirmation image CG is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds), movement display of symbols in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is started again as shown in FIG. 28 (h). The player is notified that the unit fluctuation display cycle has newly occurred. However, even in this case, the special drawing side suspension information is not digested because one game cycle is continued without ending. Therefore, a state in which five holding unit images GR are displayed side by side is maintained at the lower part of the symbol display device 41. In addition, the total grant points are carried over to the unit change display cycle when the unit change display cycle is newly started within the range of one game cycle. Therefore, a new unit change display cycle is started with the total grant point being 2 points, and an image indicating that the total grant points are 2 points is displayed in the point notification area PG. Start a new unit change display cycle.

  As described above, when a new unit change display cycle is started in a situation where the total award points are one or more points, the player recognizes that the total award points can easily reach the reference point in the unit variation display cycle. It will be. In this case, the player expects to start further unit change display times. Therefore, when both the point effect and the continuous effect are started, the player is in a situation where the total award point is 1 point or more, and the content of the effect of the continuous effect is at the third stage before reaching the reference point. You will expect to reach. Therefore, the player pays attention to the development timing of the presentation contents of the presentation effect and the continuation effect, and it becomes possible to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, since the number of occurrences of the unit change display cycle is three at maximum in one game run, both point effect and continuous effect are not generated in the third unit change display cycle. In addition, when the total grant points reach the reference point in the second unit fluctuation display cycle and the third unit fluctuation display cycle is started, the total grant points in the second unit fluctuation display cycle are the reference points As the point effect is performed so as not to exceed N, the total grant points are prevented from being carried over in the third unit variation display cycle. In addition, even if both point effects and continuous effects occur in the second unit variation display cycle, the total award point reaches the reference point and the total award point becomes “0”, the third unit The variable display cycle is started. In addition, there is a case that the game turn effect is ended in a situation where the total grant points are 1 point or more and does not reach the reference point, but in this case, the total grant points when the game turn effect is finished Is 0 points. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration may be adopted in which a total grant point of one or more points may be carried over to a new game play effect.

  Next, various effect tables which are referred to by the sound light side MPU 82 when performing the pseudo continuous effect will be described. FIG. 29 is an explanatory view for explaining the contents of various effect tables.

  The various effect tables are stored in advance in the sound light side ROM 83, and when the game turn in which the pseudo continuous effect is executed is started, the effect table corresponding to the game turn is from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 Will be read by In the various effect tables, the effect contents of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle are set. The first timing, the second timing, the third timing, and the fourth timing are set to the first unit fluctuation display cycle, and the fifth timing, the sixth timing, the seventh timing are set to the second unit fluctuation display cycle. And the eighth timing are set. The first timing of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the fifth timing of the second unit fluctuation display cycle correspond to predetermined timings in a state where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. The second timing of the first unit variation display cycle and the sixth timing of the second unit variation display cycle correspond to the timing at which the movement display of the symbols in the upper pattern row Z1 is stopped. The third timing of the first unit variation display cycle and the seventh timing of the second unit variation display cycle correspond to timings at which the movement display of the symbols in the lower row of the design sequence Z3 is stopped. The fourth timing of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the eighth timing of the second unit fluctuation display cycle are situations in which movement display of symbols in the upper symbol column Z1 and the lower pattern column Z3 is stopped, and the middle symbol column is displayed. It corresponds to the predetermined timing in the situation where the movement display of the symbol in Z2 is performed.

  Although only one of point effect and continuous effect is set for one timing in FIG. 29, both point effect and continuous effect may be set for one timing. In addition, although "continuation production start" and "continuation production end" are set regarding continuation production in Drawing 29, "continuation production start" means the occurrence of the contents of the presentation of the first stage of continuation production, "continuation" The end of the effect means the generation of the third stage of the effect of the continuous effect. Further, the generation timing of the effect content of the second stage of the continuous effect is omitted in FIG.

  As the effect table, a first point effect table, a second point effect table, a first continuous effect table, a second continuous effect table, and a combined effect table are provided.

  The table for the first point effect is a pseudo-series effect where the unit fluctuation display cycle is not newly started when the effect contents of the continuous operation reach the third stage, and the unit fluctuation display cycle occurs twice It is an effect table for controlling the execution of the pseudo series effect. The first point effect table is set in a plurality of types by making the execution pattern of the additional effect and the execution pattern of the continuous effect different.

  For example, in the first point effect table (1), since the effect to be applied is such that one point is given to each of the first timing, the third timing and the fourth timing, the total grant points reach the reference point As a result, a new unit change display cycle is generated, and in the unit change display cycle, although an additional effect for which one point is given at the sixth timing is set, an additional effect is not set for the third time. The unit fluctuation display cycle does not occur. Also, in the first point effect table (3), while the first stage effect content of the continuous effect is set to the third timing, 1 for each of the first timing, the second timing, and the fourth timing. Since the presentation effect to which points are given is set, a new unit fluctuation display cycle occurs when the total presentation points reach the reference point before becoming the third stage presentation contents although the continuous presentation is started Do. Then, in the second unit variation display cycle, although the additional effect is given in which one point is given to each of the sixth timing and the eighth timing, but the additional effect is not set other than that, the third unit variation Display times do not occur.

  The second point effect table is a pseudo-sequence effect in which the unit change display cycle is not started newly when the effect contents of the continuous effect reach the third stage, and the unit change display cycle occurs three times It is an effect table for controlling the execution of the pseudo series effect. In the second point effect table, a plurality of types of execution pattern of the additional effect and an execution pattern of the continuous effect are set differently.

  For example, in the second point effect table (1), the execution pattern of effects in the first unit change display cycle is the same as the first point effect table (1). On the other hand, in the second unit variation display cycle, one point is given to each of the fifth timing, the sixth timing, and the eighth timing, so that the total presentation point reaches the reference point because the presentation effect is set. The third unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated. The execution control of the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is performed by referring to the effect table different from the second point effect table (1). Further, in the second point effect table (3), the effect is set to the first timing and the fourth timing in the first unit fluctuation display cycle. In this case, one point is awarded in the first stage presentation effect, while four points are awarded in the fourth stage presentation presentation. Therefore, when the total awarding point exceeds the reference point at the fourth timing, the second unit variation display cycle newly occurs and the remaining points obtained by subtracting the reference point from the total awarding point carry over 2 points You will And in the second unit fluctuation display cycle, the additional effect of giving one point at the eighth timing is set, so that the total grant point reaches the reference point, and the third unit fluctuation display cycle newly occurs. It will be done. The execution control of the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is performed by referring to the effect table different from the second point effect table (3).

  The first continuous effect table is a pseudo-series effect in which an event in which a unit variation display cycle is newly started does not occur when the total grant points reach a reference point, and a pseudo sequence in which a unit variation display cycle occurs twice It is an effect table for controlling the execution of effects. The first continuous effect table is set in a plurality of types by making the execution pattern of the additional effect and the execution pattern of the continuous effect different.

  For example, in the first continuous effect table (2), although an additional effect is given in which one point is given at the first timing in the first unit fluctuation display cycle, one of the continuous effects at the second timing thereafter The stage effect content is set and illustration is omitted, but the second stage effect content of continuous effect is set at the third timing, and the third stage effect content of continuous effect is at the fourth timing It is set. As a result, when the effect content of the continuous effect reaches the effect content of the third stage, a new unit change display cycle occurs. In this new unit fluctuation display cycle, although the additional effect where one point is given at the eighth timing is set, the additional effect is not set other than that and the continuous effect is not set, and the third unit The variable display times do not occur.

  The second continuous presentation table is a pseudo-series effect in which an event in which a unit variation display cycle is newly started does not occur when the total grant points reach a reference point It is an effect table for controlling the execution of effects. The second continuous effect table is set in a plurality of types by making the execution pattern of the additional effect and the execution pattern of the continuous effect different.

  For example, in the second continuous effect table (2), the execution pattern of effects in the first unit variation display cycle is the same as the first continuous effect table (2). On the other hand, in the second unit fluctuation display cycle, the first stage effect content of the continuous effect is set at the sixth timing and the illustration is omitted, but the second stage effect content of the continuous effect is set at the seventh timing The third stage effect contents of the continuous effect are set at the eighth timing. As a result, when the effect content of the continuous effect reaches the effect content of the third stage, the third unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated. The execution control of the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is performed by referring to the effect table different from the second continuous effect table (2).

  In the synthetic presentation table, when the total grant points reach the reference point, the unit fluctuation display cycle is newly started, and the unit fluctuation display cycle is newly started when the effect content of the continuous presentation reaches the third stage It is an effect table for controlling the execution of the pseudo-series effect in which both of the events to be performed occur. A plurality of types of tables for synthetic effects are set by making the execution pattern of the additional effects and the execution pattern of the continuous effects different.

  For example, in the table (1) for the combined effect, since the effect to be applied is set such that one point is given to each of the first timing, the third timing and the fourth timing in the first unit fluctuation display cycle, When the point reaches the reference point, a new unit change display cycle occurs. In addition, the first stage effect contents of the continuous effect are set at the fifth timing in the second unit fluctuation display cycle, and illustration is omitted, but the second stage effect contents of the continuous effect are set at the seventh timing The third stage effect contents of the continuous effect are set at the eighth timing. As a result, when the effect content of the continuous effect reaches the effect content of the third stage, the third unit fluctuation display cycle is newly generated. The execution control of the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is performed by referring to a different effect table from the combined effect table (1).

  In addition, in the table (2) for the combined effect, although the additional effect in which one point is given to each of the first timing and the third timing is set in the first unit fluctuation display cycle, the continuous effect is performed in the second timing The contents of the first stage of the effects are set, and illustration is omitted, but the contents of the second stage of the continuous effects are set at the third timing, and the third stage of the effects at the fourth timing The content is set. As a result, when the effect content of the continuous effect reaches the effect content of the third stage, the second unit fluctuation display cycle newly occurs in a situation where the total grant points are 2 points. In the second unit variation display cycle, the additional effect of adding one point to the eighth timing is set, so that the total assignment point reaches the reference point, and the third unit variation display cycle newly occurs. It will be. The execution control of the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is performed by referring to a different effect table from the combined effect table (2).

  Hereinafter, a specific processing configuration for executing the pseudo-series effect will be described. FIG. 30 is a flow chart showing a process for determination of pseudo connected effect performed in step S1215 in the effect determination process (FIG. 22).

  First, it is determined whether or not the current game run is a game run capable of executing a pseudo-series effect (step S1401). If it is already determined that a special effect at the time of the big hit will occur in the current game round, it is determined that the pseudo-series effect can not be executed regardless of the display continuation period of the current game round. If it is not decided that the special effect at the time of the big hit is generated in the current game round, and the display continuation period of the current game round is more than a predetermined period (specifically, 15 seconds) It determines that it is the game times which can perform production.

  When it is the game time which can execute the pseudo series effect (step S1401: YES), the execution lottery process of the pseudo series effect is executed (step S1402). In the execution lottery process of the pseudo series effect, while acquiring numerical information from the random number counter for pseudo series effect periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83 Check against the table for the simulated rendition. The table for the pseudo-series effect is provided corresponding to each of the cases where the game result of the current game run is a big hit result, the case where an outreach occurs, and the case where an outreach does not occur. The table for these pseudo series effects is the highest when the probability of being won by the execution lottery process of the pseudo series effect is the big hit result, the case where the outreach is generated is the second highest, and the case where the complete out result is the most It is set low.

  If it is determined that the execution is selected in the execution lottery process of the pseudo series effect (step S1403: YES), it is determined whether or not reach effect occurs in the current game round (step S1404). Specifically, when it is determined that reach effect occurs when the current game round corresponds to the big hit result, and even when the current game round does not correspond to the big hit result, When the display continuation period corresponds to the occurrence of the reach effect, it is determined that the reach effect occurs.

  If it is determined that reach effect is generated in the current game round (step S1404: YES), it is determined whether the display continuation period of the current game round corresponds to two unit fluctuation display cycles (step S1405) . Specifically, it is determined whether or not the display continuation period of the current game number is a specified period (specifically, 25 seconds) set as a longer period than the predetermined period (specifically, 15 seconds). . Here, when two unit fluctuation display cycles occur as pseudo-series effects, reach effect may not occur in the last unit fluctuation display cycle but three unit fluctuation display cycles occur. In the case, reach effect occurs in the last unit change display cycle. As a result, at the stage when the third unit variation display cycle is started, the player can specify that the reach effect is generated in the game cycle. In addition, a display continuation period in which the game round which is a big hit result is more than the specific period is more likely to be selected than the game round in which the outreach effect occurs. Therefore, the probability of generating a big hit result is higher when three unit fluctuation display times occur as pseudo linked effects than when two unit fluctuation display cycles occur as pseudo linked effects.

  If it is determined that reach effect is not generated in the current game round (step S1404: NO), or if it is determined that reach effect is generated in the current game round, the display continuation period of the current game round is two If it is determined that it corresponds to the unit fluctuation display cycle (steps S1404 and S1405: YES), processing for setting up a pseudo-series effect in which the unit fluctuation display cycle occurs twice is executed.

  Specifically, first, in order to determine whether or not to generate an event in which a new start of unit variation display times is notified by point effect, a first execution lottery process of point effect is executed (step S1406). In the first execution lottery process of point effect, numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for point effect periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Check against the first point lottery table. In the first execution lottery process of the point effect, the point effect will be executed with a probability of 50%.

  When the execution winning is achieved in the first execution lottery process of the point effect (step S1407: YES), the first lottery process of the point scenario is executed (step S1408). In the first lottery process of the point scenario, the numerical information is acquired from the scenario random number counter periodically updated in the sound light side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound light side ROM 83. Match against the first lottery table for point scenario. In the first lottery process of the point scenario, a first point presentation table to be referred to this time is selected from a plurality of types of first point presentation tables. Then, the selected first point presentation table is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1409). The execution control of the effect is performed with reference to the first point effect table read out to the sound light side RAM 84, whereby the point effect as illustrated in FIG. 29 is performed by the symbol display device 41. Further, effects corresponding to point effects in the symbol display device 41 are performed by the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54.

  If the execution lottery process of the point effect does not result in the execution winning (step S1407: NO), the first lottery process of the continuous effect scenario is executed (step S1410). In the first lottery process of the continuous effect scenario, numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for the scenario periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Check against the first lottery table of the continuous effect scenario which is present. In the first lottery process of the continuous presentation scenario, the first continuous presentation table to be referred to this time is selected from the plurality of types of first continuous presentation tables. Then, the selected first continuation presentation table is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1411). By executing the effect execution control with reference to the first continuous effect table read out to the sound light side RAM 84, the continuous effect as illustrated in FIG. 29 is performed by the symbol display device 41. Further, effects corresponding to the continuous effect in the symbol display device 41 are performed by the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54.

  When it is determined that reach effect is generated in the current game round, and when it is determined that the display continuation period of the current game round corresponds to three unit fluctuation display times (step S1404: YES, step S1405: (NO), A process for setting up a pseudo-series effect in which the unit fluctuation display cycle occurs three times is executed.

  Specifically, in order to determine whether or not to generate an event in which a new start of the unit fluctuation display cycle is notified by the point effect in each of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle A second execution lottery process of point effect is executed (step S1412). In the second execution lottery process of point effect, the numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for point effect periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Check against the second point lottery table. In the second execution lottery process of the point effect, an event in which a new start of the unit change indication cycle is notified by the point effect may be generated in both the first unit change indication cycle and the second unit change indication cycle The probability to be determined is set to 30%, and the event is reported that a new start of the unit fluctuation display cycle is notified by the point effect in either the first unit fluctuation display cycle or the second unit fluctuation display cycle The probability that it is determined to be generated is set to 30%, and a point effect is notified of a new start of the unit fluctuation display cycle by both the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle The probability that it is determined not to cause an event is set to 40%.

  When an event in which a new start of the unit fluctuation display cycle is notified by point effect occurs at least once (step S1413: YES), either the first unit fluctuation display cycle or the second unit fluctuation display cycle It is determined whether it occurs on one side (step S1414). If an affirmative determination is made in step S1414, a lottery process of a combined scenario is executed (step S1415). In the lottery process of the synthesis scenario, the numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for the scenario periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Check against the lottery table of In the lottery process of the synthetic scenario, a synthetic presentation table to be referred to this time is selected from a plurality of types of synthetic presentation tables. Then, the selected table for the combined effect is read out from the sound side ROM 83 to the sound side RAM 84 (step S1416). The execution control of the effect is performed with reference to the table for the combined effect read out to the sound light side RAM 84, so that the combined effect as illustrated in FIG. 29 is performed by the symbol display device 41. Further, effects corresponding to the combined effect in the symbol display device 41 are performed by the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54.

  Although the data for controlling the effects of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle are set in the synthetic presentation table, the data for controlling the presentation of the third unit fluctuation display cycle is Not set. The effect table for controlling the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is read out in the other effect determining process (step S1217) in the effect determining process (FIG. 22). The effect table read out in this case is the execution control of the effect over the period in which the total display continuation period of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle is subtracted from the display continuation period of the current game run It is a table for performing, and is a table for performing execution control of reach production corresponding to the period which subtracted it.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1414, a second lottery process of point scenario is executed (step S1417). In the second lottery process of the point scenario, the numerical information is acquired from the scenario random number counter periodically updated in the sound light side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound light side ROM 83. Check against the second lottery table for point scenario. In the second lottery process of the point scenario, a second point presentation table to be referred to this time is selected from a plurality of types of second point presentation tables. Then, the selected second point presentation table is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1418). The execution control of the effect is performed with reference to the second point effect table read out to the sound light side RAM 84, whereby the point effect as illustrated in FIG. 29 is performed by the symbol display device 41. Further, effects corresponding to point effects in the symbol display device 41 are performed by the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54.

  Although the data for controlling the effect of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle is set in the second point effect table, the table for controlling the production of the third unit fluctuation display cycle is described No data has been set. The effect table for controlling the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is read out in the other effect determining process (step S1217) in the effect determining process (FIG. 22). The effect table read out in this case is the execution control of the effect over the period in which the total display continuation period of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle is subtracted from the display continuation period of the current game run It is a table for performing, and is a table for performing execution control of reach production corresponding to the period which subtracted it.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1413, the second lottery process of the continuous effect scenario is executed (step S1419). In the second lottery process of the continuous effect scenario, numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for the scenario periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Check against the second lottery table for the continuous effect scenario. In the second lottery process of the continuous effect scenario, a second continuous effect table to be referred to this time is selected from a plurality of types of second continuous effect tables. Then, the selected second continuation presentation table is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1420). The execution control of the effect is performed with reference to the second continuous effect table read in the sound light side RAM 84, whereby the continuous effect as illustrated in FIG. 29 is performed in the symbol display device 41. Further, effects corresponding to the continuous effect in the symbol display device 41 are performed by the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54.

  Although the data for controlling the effect of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle is set in the second continuous presentation table, the table for controlling the presentation of the third unit fluctuation display cycle is described No data has been set. The effect table for controlling the effect of the third unit variation display cycle is read out in the other effect determining process (step S1217) in the effect determining process (FIG. 22). The effect table read out in this case is the execution control of the effect over the period in which the total display continuation period of the first unit fluctuation display cycle and the second unit fluctuation display cycle is subtracted from the display continuation period of the current game run It is a table for performing, and is a table for performing execution control of reach production corresponding to the period which subtracted it.

  When it is the game turn where the pseudo connected effect is executed, processing for the pseudo connected effect is executed by making affirmative determination in step S1101 and step S1110 of the effect control processing (FIG. 20) for the game used (step S1111) ). FIG. 31 is a flow chart showing the processing for pseudo-series effect.

  A table for effect (first point effect table, a second point effect table, a first continuous effect table, a second continuous effect table, and a combined effect table corresponding to the pseudo continuous effect read out to the sound light side RAM 84 When it is determined that it is the execution timing of the additional effect based on any of the tables (step S1501: YES), the setting process of the additional effect is executed (step S1502). In the setting process of the application effect, the application effect of the type set in the effect table is executed by the symbol display device 41 and the corresponding effect is performed by the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54. Execute the process to Also, processing is performed to cause the point notification area PG of the symbol display device 41 to be displayed such that the points provided by the current presentation effect are reflected in the total application points.

Execute the process

<On Hold Production>
Next, hold production will be described.

  The holding effect is a predetermined condition stored in the holding area 103 in a situation where the game play can not be newly started (a situation in which the game play is being performed or a situation in which the opening / closing execution mode is being carried out). It is an effect in which a notification corresponding to the determination result in the case where the special drawing side suspension information becomes a target of the determination of success or absence is executed. In the pachinko machine 10, the hold effect is executed in a mode in which the special drawing side hold information that is the target of the hold effect is clearly indicated. Specifically, the holding effect is performed using the holding unit image GR displayed in the holding display area 41 a set in the lower part of the display surface of the symbol display device 41.

  FIG. 32 (a) is an explanatory view for explaining the contents of the hold effect performed in the hold display area 41a of the symbol display device 41, and FIG. 32 (b) is a display of the hold unit image GR in the hold effect. It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating an aspect.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (a), the hold units of the same number as the number of the special drawing side hold information stored in the hold area 103 in the hold display area 41a set in the lower part of the display surface of the symbol display device 41. The images GR are displayed side by side. In the case of FIG. 32 (a), since eight special view side reserve information is reserve stored in the reserve area 103, eight reserve unit images GR are displayed in the reserve display area 41a. Of the plurality of holding unit images GR displayed in the holding display area 41a, the holding unit image GR displayed on the left side corresponds to the special-image-side holding information with the earliest digesting order, and is directed to the right The display order of the hold unit image GR and the digest order of the special drawing side hold information correspond to each other.

  In the hold effect, the display mode of the hold unit image GR notifies the expectation of the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the hold unit image GR corresponding to the jackpot result. A plurality of types of display modes of the hold unit image GR in the hold effect are set. The display modes of these holding unit images GR are made different by making the display colors of the holding unit images GR different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32B, as the display mode of the holding unit image GR, the display mode in which the holding unit image GR is displayed in "white" and the holding unit image GR is displayed in "blue" Display mode, the display mode in which the holding unit image GR is displayed in "yellow", the display mode in which the holding unit image GR is displayed in "green", and the holding unit image GR in "red" There are a display mode and a display mode in which the holding unit image GR is displayed in "rainbow color".

  When the special figure side reserve information in which the display mode of the reserve unit image GR is "white" is targeted for the start of the game, the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is 5%, and the display manner of the reserve unit image GR is "blue If the special figure side reserve information which is "" is targeted for the start of the game, the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is 10%, and the special figure side reserve information where the display mode of the reserve unit image GR is "yellow" is When it becomes the target of the start of the game, the expectation of the jackpot result is 15%, and the special figure side hold information in which the display mode of the hold unit image GR is “green” becomes the target of the start of the game play If the expectation of the jackpot result is 20% and the display mode of the held unit image GR is "red", the expectation of the jackpot result will be 50% when the special view side hold information is targeted for the start of the game round, The display mode of the pending unit image GR is "rainbow color" Expectations jackpot result is 100% when Japanese view side hold information becomes game times of start target that. Therefore, the player plays the game while expecting the holding unit image GR to be a display mode in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is higher. Among the above display modes, the display mode of "white" corresponds to the display mode in the situation where the hold effect is not executed, and the other display modes correspond to the display mode in the situation where the hold effect is executed.

  In the case of FIG. 32 (a), the display mode of the first, second, fourth, sixth and eighth reserve unit images GR in the game times is “white”, and the third reserve unit is The display mode of the image GR is "blue", the display mode of the fifth reserve unit image GR is "yellow", and the display mode of the seventh reserve unit image GR is "red". There is. As described above, even if there is a pending unit image GR for which the pending presentation is already executed, the pending unit image GR corresponding to the newly acquired special drawing side pending information is the execution target of the pending presentation It can be As a result, the plurality of holding unit images GR can be simultaneously subjected to the holding effect, and it is possible to increase the player's attention to the holding unit image GR.

  In addition, when the pending unit image GR for which the pending effect is to be executed already exists, the pending unit image GR corresponding to the newly acquired special drawing side pending information is not to be subjected to the pending effect. It may be Further, the type of the display mode of the holding effect is not limited to the configuration distinguished by the display color, and the type of the display mode may be distinguished by the shape of the holding unit image GR. The type of display mode may be distinguished by a combination of display color and shape. In addition, the number of types of display modes of the hold effect may be smaller or larger than six. Further, the relationship between the display mode of the hold effect and the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is not limited to the above.

  Hereinafter, a specific processing configuration for executing the hold effect will be described. FIG. 33 is a flow chart showing a setting process of holding effect performed in step S611 in the holding command reception process (FIG. 15). Since the reception process of the hold command is activated when the first hold command or the second hold command is received from the main MPU 62 as described above, the setting process of the hold effect is also performed from the main MPU 62 as the first hold command or It is activated when the second hold command is received.

  It is determined whether the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the first holding command or the second holding command received this time is the special drawing side holding information that results in a big hit in the high probability mode (step S1601). Specifically, among the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the production side suspension area 125, the unit area 125a to 125h corresponding to the current special image side suspension information has a high probability of success or failure at the time of high probability It is determined whether or not the jackpot information of is set.

  Whether the success or failure lottery mode is the high probability mode when the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the first hold command or the second hold command received this time becomes the start trigger of the game round when the positive determination is made in step S1601 It is determined whether or not it is (step S1602). In the pachinko machine 10, when the open / close execution mode occurs as described above, the high probability mode is always set after the end of the open / close execution mode, and the high probability mode is eight times after the open / close execution mode ends. The low probability mode is entered when the eighth game cycle is ended continuously until the game cycle is digested. The sound side MPU 82 is a special drawing side holding information that has already been acquired, and is a trigger for starting the game play earlier than the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the first holding command or the second holding command received this time. It is possible to specify whether or not the drawing side holding information corresponds to the big hit result by referring to the production side holding area 125, and it is possible to measure the number of times of gaming times digested after the opening / closing execution mode is finished. It has become. Therefore, the sound-side MPU 82 can determine whether or not the winning lottery mode in the case where the special view side suspension information of this time serves as the start trigger of the game round is the high probability mode.

  In detail, if the special drawing side holding information which becomes the start timing of the game times before the special drawing side holding information of this time is a big hit result, the upper limit number of the special drawing side holding information is held and stored is 8 Since the high probability mode continues until the game times of 8 times are consumed after the open / close execution mode is ended as described above in the configuration which is individual, the special view side hold information of this time is a trigger for starting the game times. The pass / fail lottery mode is a high probability mode. In addition, if the special drawing side holding information which becomes the start opportunity of the game times before the special drawing side holding information of this time does not become the big hit result, if the current success or failure lottery mode is the low probability mode, In the case where the special drawing side suspension information becomes a start opportunity of the game round, the success or failure lottery mode becomes the low probability mode. Further, when the current success or failure lottery mode is the high probability mode, the current special view side suspension information becomes the target of the start of the game round within the range of the number of remaining game rounds until the high probability mode ends. In this case, the special drawing side hold information in this case becomes a high probability mode in the case where the special drawing side holding information becomes a start opportunity of the game number, while the high probability mode is set, but within the number of game times remaining until the high probability mode ends. In the case where the special view side reserve information of this time is the start opportunity of the game round when the special view side reserve information of the is not the start target of the game round, the success or failure lottery mode becomes the low probability mode.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1601 or if a negative determination is made in step S1602, the special view side suspension information corresponding to the first suspension command or the second suspension command received this time will be the jackpot result in the low probability mode It is judged whether it is special drawing side reservation information (step S1603). Specifically, among the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the production side reserve area 125, the unit area 125a to 125h corresponding to the current special image side reserve information has a low probability in the pass / fail area at the time of low probability. It is determined whether or not the jackpot information of is set.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1602 or if an affirmative determination is made in step S1603, the lottery table for the big hit is read out from the sound side ROM 83 to the sound side RAM 84 (step S1604). FIG. 34 is an explanatory view for explaining various lottery tables related to the hold effect. As shown in FIG. 34, all of “white”, “blue”, “yellow”, “green”, “red” and “rainbow color” are set as display modes of the selection object in the lottery table at the time of big hit . Of these, the selection probabilities for "white", "blue", "yellow" and "green" are each set to 20%, and the selection probability for "red" is set to 15%. The selection probability is set to 5%.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1603, it is determined whether the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the first holding command or the second holding command received this time is the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the occurrence of the predetermined reach. (Step S1605). As described above, the predetermined reach is set as a reach having a high expectation of the occurrence of the jackpot result than in the case of the specific reach, and for example, a reach effect by a predetermined character is executed as the predetermined reach. Specifically, in step S1605, among the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the production side suspension area 125, predetermined presence or absence of a predetermined reel in unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the current special view side suspension information is specified. It is determined whether reach information is set.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1605, the lottery table at the time of predetermined reach is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1606). As shown in FIG. 34, "white", "blue", "yellow", "green" and "red" are set as the display modes of the selection object in the lottery table at a predetermined reach. Among these, the selection probability of "white", "blue" and "green" is set to 20%, the selection probability of "yellow" is set to 30%, and the selection probability of "red" is 10%. It is set to.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1605, whether or not the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the first holding command or the second holding command received this time is the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the occurrence of the non-predetermined reach It determines (step S1607). Specifically, among the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the production side reserve area 125, a non-predetermined reach to the presence / absence area of non-predetermined reels in unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the current special view side reserve information It is determined whether information is set.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1607, the lottery table at the non-predetermined reach is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1608). As shown in FIG. 34, "white", "blue", "yellow" and "green" are set as display modes of the selection object in the lottery table at the non-predetermined reach. Among these, the selection probability of "white" is set to 80%, the selection probability of "blue" is set to 10%, and the selection probabilities of "yellow" and "green" are set to 5% respectively. There is.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1607, the lottery table at the time of reach non-occurrence is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1609). As shown in FIG. 34, "white", "blue" and "yellow" are set as display modes of the selection object in the lottery table at the time of non-reach occurrence. Among these, the selection probability of "white" is set to 90%, and the selection probabilities of "blue" and "yellow" are set to 5% respectively.

  After the lottery table is read out at any one of step S1604, step S1606, step S1608 and step S1609, the execution lottery process of holding effect is executed (step S1610). In the execution lottery process for holding effect, numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for holding effect periodically updated in the sound light side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is used as steps S1604, S1606, S1608, and S1609. The display mode of the holding unit image GR to be executed is selected by collating the lottery table read out to the sound light side RAM 84 in any of the above.

  When a display mode other than "white" is selected in the execution lottery process of the hold effect (step S1611: YES), the information corresponding to the selected display mode is selected as the hold effect execution area, and the area 125 for effect side hold Of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h, the suspension display area is set in the unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the current special view side suspension information (step S1612). On the other hand, when the display mode of "white" is selected in the execution lottery process of the hold effect (step S1611: NO), the information corresponding to the display mode of "white" is regarded as a hold effect execution omission. Of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the area 125, it is set as the hold display area in the unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the current special view side hold information (step S1613).

  When the process of step S1612 or step S1613 is executed, the setting process of the pending display is executed (step S1614). In the hold display setting process, a command corresponding to the information of the display mode set in the hold display areas of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h in the effect-side hold area 125 is transmitted to the display control device 90. As a result, the pending unit image GR corresponding to the information of the display mode set in the pending display areas of the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h in the production side pending area 125 is placed on the pending display area 41a of the symbol display device 41. Is displayed. In this case, the special drawing side holding information for which the display mode other than "white" is selected in the setting processing of the holding effect is selected at the timing when the display of the holding unit image GR corresponding to the special drawing side holding information is started. The display by the selected display mode is started, and the special drawing side hold information for which the display mode of "white" is selected is "white" at the timing when the display of the hold unit image GR corresponding to the special drawing side hold information is started. The display by the display mode of is started.

  Here, a promotion effect is set in which the display mode at the timing when the display of the hold unit image GR is started as the effect content of the hold effect is changed to a display mode in which the expectation of the jackpot result is higher than the display mode. The said promotion production concerned is explained below. There are two types of promotion effects: one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect. Although the one-step promotion effect and the red promotion effect are executed as display effects in the symbol display device 41, the contents of the display effects are different from each other.

  FIG. 35 (a1) to FIG. 35 (c2) are explanatory diagrams for explaining how a promotion effect is performed. First, the case where only one-step promotion effect is executed as the promotion effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 (a1) and 35 (a2). The one-step promotion effect occurs under the situation where one or more holding unit images GR are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (a1), one-step promotion effect is started in a situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. In this case, since five special view side reserve information are reserved and stored in the reserve area 103, five reserve unit images GR are displayed side by side in the reserve display area 41a of the symbol display device 41, The display modes of these pending unit images GR are all "white" with the lowest expectation of the jackpot result. At the start of the one-step promotion effect, the first instruction image IG1 is displayed at the upper left corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41. In this case, the player can not grasp to which holding unit image GR of the five holding unit images GR the first instruction image IG1 moves.

  After that, in a situation where variation display of symbols is performed in all symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the first indication image IG1 is moved toward a predetermined one holding unit image GR among five holding unit images GR. Start. In this case, the moving image is displayed as if the first indication image IG1 moves linearly toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR, so the first indication image IG1 is moved from the moving direction of the first indication image IG1. The player can predict which holding unit image GR the instruction image IG1 is moving toward.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35 (a2), display is performed in which the first indication image IG1 is in contact with the third holding unit image GR from the left as the predetermined one holding unit image GR. As a result, the display mode of the pending unit image GR is changed to a display mode in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is one step higher than the display modes up to that point. Specifically, since the display mode of the holding unit image GR is “white” immediately before the first instruction image IG1 contacts, it is changed to “blue” when the first instruction image IG1 contacts. By changing the display mode of the holding unit image GR to a display mode that is one step higher as described above, the player expects the occurrence of a jackpot result.

  It is also assumed that the display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR immediately before the first indication image IG1 touches is “blue”, and in this case, the first indication image IG1 touches “yellow”. Be changed. In addition, it is also assumed that the display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR immediately before the first indication image IG1 touches is “yellow”, and in this case, the first indication image IG1 touches “green”. Will be changed to Further, it is also assumed that the display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR immediately before the first indication image IG1 touches is “green”, and in this case, the first indication image IG1 touches “red Will be changed to In addition, it is also assumed that the display mode of the predetermined one reserved unit image GR immediately before the first indication image IG1 touches is “red”, and in this case, the first indication image IG1 touches “the rainbow Change to "color".

  Note that the first instruction image IG1 is not limited to the configuration in which the moving image is displayed so as to move linearly, but the configuration in which the moving image is displayed so as to move in a broken line or the moving image is displayed so as to move in a curved manner. It may be configured as Even in this case, the player can predict which holding unit image GR the first instruction image IG1 contacts with the moving direction of the first instruction image IG1. In addition, since the movement path of the first indication image IG1 is a movement path which is impossible or hard to predict for the player for the end point of the movement of the first indication image IG1, the movement direction of the first indication image IG1 is the first one. The configuration may be such that the player can not predict or hardly predict which holding unit image GR the instruction image IG1 contacts. In this case, even when the first instruction image IG1 is in contact with the holding unit image GR at the same position, a plurality of patterns are prepared as the movement path of the first instruction image IG1, and the movement path of the first instruction image IG1 Is determined by lottery from among the plurality of patterns, the player can not predict or predict which holding unit image GR the first instruction image IG1 contacts with the moving direction of the first instruction image IG1. It may be difficult to do so.

  Next, the case where only the red promotion effect is executed as the promotion effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 (b1) and 35 (b2). The red promotion effect occurs under the condition where one or more pending unit images GR are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (b1), the red promotion effect is started in the situation where the movement display of the symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. In this case, since five special view side reserve information are reserved and stored in the reserve area 103, five reserve unit images GR are displayed side by side in the reserve display area 41a of the symbol display device 41, The display modes of these pending unit images GR are all "white" with the lowest expectation of the jackpot result. At the start of the red promotion effect, the second instruction image IG2 is displayed at a position different from the position where the first instruction image IG1 is displayed at the start of the one-step promotion effect on the display surface of the symbol display device 41. Specifically, at the start of the red promotion effect, the second instruction image IG2 is displayed at the upper right corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41. In this case, the player can not grasp which holding unit image GR of the five holding unit images GR the second instruction image IG2 moves toward. Further, the display mode of the second instruction image IG2 is different from the display mode of the first instruction image IG1. Specifically, although the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 are both displayed as arrow images of the same size, their display colors are different from each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the image shape may be different between the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2, or may be different in size. Two of the image shape, size and display color The configuration may be different by combining two or more elements.

  Thereafter, in a situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the second indication image IG2 is moved toward a predetermined one holding unit image GR among five holding unit images GR. Start. In this case, the moving image is displayed as if the second indication image IG2 moves linearly toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR, so the second indication image IG2 is moved from the moving direction of the second indication image IG2. The player can predict which holding unit image GR the instruction image IG2 is moving toward.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35 (b2), the second indication image IG2 is displayed as the predetermined one holding unit image GR in contact with the third holding unit image GR from the left. As a result, the display mode of the pending unit image GR is changed to “red” in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is the second highest. In this case, the display mode of the holding unit image GR is changed to “red” regardless of the display mode of the holding unit image GR immediately before the second indication image IG2 touches. Thus, the player is expected to generate a jackpot result by changing the display mode of the hold unit image GR to a display mode in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is the second highest. In particular, even the "white" display mode with the lowest expectation for the jackpot result is changed to the "red" display mode with the second game image IG2 having the highest expectation for the jackpot result when in contact with the second instruction image IG2. It is possible to increase the player's attention to the second instruction image IG2.

  However, even if the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with the holding unit image GR that is already in the “red” display mode, the display mode of the holding unit image GR is maintained in “red”. In addition, when the display mode of the pending unit image GR, which is already the display mode of the "rainbow color" display mode with the highest degree of expectation of the jackpot result is changed to "red" by the second instruction image IG2, There is a risk of losing Therefore, the red promotion effect in which the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with the pending unit image GR in the “rainbow” display mode is not performed.

  Note that the second instruction image IG2 is not limited to the configuration in which the moving image is displayed so as to move linearly, but the configuration in which the moving image is displayed so as to move in a broken line or the moving image is displayed so as to move in a curved manner. It may be configured as Even in this case, the player can predict which holding unit image GR the second instruction image IG2 contacts with the moving direction of the second instruction image IG2. In addition, since the movement path of the second indication image IG2 is a movement path which is impossible or hard to predict for the player for the end point of the movement of the second indication image IG2, the second movement direction of the second indication image IG2 is the second one. The configuration may be such that the player can not predict or hardly predict which holding unit image GR the instruction image IG2 contacts. In this case, even when the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with the holding unit image GR at the same position, a plurality of patterns are prepared as the movement route of the second instruction image IG2, and the movement route of the second instruction image IG2 Is determined by lottery from among the plurality of patterns, the player can not predict or predict which holding unit image GR the second instruction image IG2 contacts with the moving direction of the second instruction image IG2. It may be difficult to do so.

  Next, the case where both the one-step promotion effect and the red promotion effect occur as the promotion effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 (c1) and 35 (c2). The one-step promotion effect and the red promotion effect occur under the condition where one or more holding unit images GR are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (c1), in the situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, both one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect are started. In this case, six special view side retention information are reserved and stored in the retention area 103, and six retention unit images GR are displayed side by side in the suspension display area 41a of the symbol display device 41. While the display mode of the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th pending unit images GR from the left is “white” with the lowest expectation of the jackpot result, 3 from the left The display mode of the eye holding unit image GR is “yellow” and the display mode of the sixth holding unit image GR from the left is “green”.

  When the one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect are started, the first instruction image IG1 is displayed at the upper left corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41 and the upper right corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41 The second instruction image IG2 is displayed on the screen. In this case, the player can not grasp which holding unit image GR of the six holding unit images GR each of the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 moves.

  Thereafter, in a situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the first indication image IG1 moves toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR among the six holding unit images GR The second indication image IG2 starts moving toward the specific one holding unit image GR among the six holding unit images GR. In this case, the moving image is displayed as if the first indication image IG1 moves linearly toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR, so the first indication image IG1 is moved from the moving direction of the first indication image IG1. The player can predict which holding unit image GR the instruction image IG1 is moving toward. In addition, the moving image is displayed as if the second indication image IG2 moves linearly toward the specific one holding unit image GR, so the second indication is performed from the moving direction of the second indication image IG2. The player can predict to which holding unit image GR the image IG2 is moving.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35 (c2), display is performed in which the first indication image IG1 is in contact with the sixth suspension unit image GR from the left as the predetermined one suspension unit image GR. As a result, the display mode of the pending unit image GR is changed to a display mode in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is one step higher than the display modes up to that point. Specifically, since the display mode of the holding unit image GR is “green” immediately before the first instruction image IG1 contacts, it is changed to “red” when the first instruction image IG1 contacts. Further, a display is performed in which the second indication image IG2 is in contact with the third holding unit image GR from the left as the one holding unit image GR. As a result, the display mode of the pending unit image GR is changed to “red” in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is the second highest. As described above, by changing the display mode of the plurality of holding unit images GR to a display mode in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is high, it is possible to increase the degree of expectation of the player for the generation of the jackpot result.

  The first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 are not limited to the configuration in which they are simultaneously in contact with different holding unit images GR, and the first indication image IG1 is in contact with one predetermined holding unit image GR. The second indication image IG2 may be in contact with the specific holding unit image GR later, and after the second indication image IG2 is in contact with one specific holding unit image GR, the first indication image IG1 may be a predetermined holding unit image It may be configured to be in contact with GR. In addition, it may be configured to be in contact with each other at the same time, or in some cases shifted in time.

  When both one-stage promotion effect and red promotion effect occur, both one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect may occur to the same holding unit image GR. As described above, the case where both the one-step promotion effect and the red promotion effect occur on the same pending unit image GR will be described below. 36 (a) to 36 (e) are explanatory diagrams for describing the case where the first instruction image IG1 is in contact after the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with a predetermined one holding unit image GR. . The one-step promotion effect and the red promotion effect occur under the condition where one or more holding unit images GR are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (a), in the situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, both one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect are started. In this case, since five special view side reserve information are reserved and stored in the reserve area 103, five reserve unit images GR are displayed side by side in the reserve display area 41a of the symbol display device 41, The display modes of these pending unit images GR are all "white" with the lowest expectation of the jackpot result. When the one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect are started, the first instruction image IG1 is displayed at the upper left corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41 and the upper right corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41 The second instruction image IG2 is displayed on the screen. In this case, the player can not grasp which holding unit image GR of the five holding unit images GR each of the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 moves.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (b), in the situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, both of the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 are five holding unit images Movement is started toward a predetermined one of the holding unit images GR of GR. In this case, since the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 are displayed as moving images are linearly moved toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR, the first instruction image The player can predict which holding unit image GR the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 are moving from the moving directions of the IG1 and the second instruction image IG2.

  Here, the display start timings of the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 on the display surface of the symbol display device 41 are the same, and the predetermined one of the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 The movement start timings toward the holding unit image GR of are the same. On the other hand, although the movement speeds of the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 are the same at the start of movement, from the predetermined timing during the movement toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR Change. In the case illustrated in FIG. 36, the moving speed of the second indication image IG2 is faster than the moving speed of the first indication image IG1 at a predetermined timing during movement. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 36C, prior to the first indication image IG1, the second indication image IG2 comes in contact with the third holding unit image GR from the left, which is the predetermined one holding unit image GR. Thereby, the display mode of the holding unit image GR is changed from “white” to “red”.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), the display of the second indication image IG2 is ended, and the movement indication of the first indication image IG1 is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the first indication image IG1 contacts the predetermined one holding unit image GR whose display mode has been changed to "red" by the second indication image IG2. As a result, the display mode of the pending unit image GR is changed to “rainbow color” which is a display mode in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is one step higher than “red”. Since the display mode of the "rainbow color" is 100% of the expectation of the jackpot result, the player confirms the change of the display mode, the jackpot result in the game times when the holding unit image GR becomes a start opportunity Will be convinced that

  FIGS. 37 (a) to 37 (e) are explanatory diagrams for describing the case where the second instruction image IG2 is in contact after the first instruction image IG1 is in contact with a predetermined one holding unit image GR. . The one-step promotion effect and the red promotion effect occur under the condition where one or more holding unit images GR are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 37A, in a situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, both one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect are started. In this case, since five special view side reserve information are reserved and stored in the reserve area 103, five reserve unit images GR are displayed side by side in the reserve display area 41a of the symbol display device 41, The display modes of these pending unit images GR are all "white" with the lowest expectation of the jackpot result. When the one-step promotion effect and red promotion effect are started, the first instruction image IG1 is displayed at the upper left corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41 and the upper right corner of the display surface of the symbol display device 41 The second instruction image IG2 is displayed on the screen. In this case, the player can not grasp which holding unit image GR of the five holding unit images GR each of the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 moves.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), in the situation where movement display of symbols is performed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, both of the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 are five holding unit images Movement is started toward a predetermined one of the holding unit images GR of GR. In this case, since the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 are displayed as moving images are linearly moved toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR, the first instruction image The player can predict which holding unit image GR the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 are moving from the moving directions of the IG1 and the second instruction image IG2.

  Here, as described above, the display start timings of the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 on the display surface of the symbol display device 41 are the same, and the above-mentioned first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 The movement start timings toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR are the same. On the other hand, although the movement speeds of the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 are the same at the start of movement, from the predetermined timing during the movement toward the predetermined one holding unit image GR Change. In the case illustrated in FIG. 37, the moving speed of the first instruction image IG1 is faster than the moving speed of the second instruction image IG2 at a predetermined timing during movement. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 37 (c), the first instruction image IG1 contacts the third suspension unit image GR from the left, which is the one suspension unit image GR, before the second instruction image IG2. Thereby, the display mode of the holding unit image GR is changed from “white” to “blue”.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 37D, the display of the first instruction image IG1 is ended, and the movement display of the second instruction image IG2 is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 37E, the second indication image IG2 is in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR whose display mode is changed to “blue” by the first indication image IG1. Thereby, the display mode of the holding unit image GR is changed to “red”. Since the display mode of “red” is 50% of the expectation of the jackpot result and the expectation of the jackpot result is higher than the display mode of “blue”, the player confirms the change in the display mode and the player wins the jackpot result. It is expected to occur.

  However, as illustrated in FIGS. 36A to 36E, when the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR after the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with the predetermined one. The display mode of the holding unit image GR is “rainbow color” whose expectation for the jackpot result is 100%. Therefore, when both the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 are moved and displayed toward the same holding unit image GR, the player corresponds to the second promotion image corresponding to the red promotion effect in the holding unit image GR. After the instruction image IG2 is in contact, it is expected that the first instruction image IG1 corresponding to the one-step promotion effect will be in contact. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's attention when the first indication image IG1 and the second indication image IG2 are both moved and displayed toward the same holding unit image GR.

  Hereinafter, a specific processing configuration for executing the one-step promotion effect and the red promotion effect will be described. FIG. 38 is a flow chart showing the process for proceeding with the hold effect, which is executed in step S1216 in the effect determination process (FIG. 22). In addition, since the effect determination process is started when the effect for game circulation is started on the occasion of having received the command for change and the type command from the main side MPU 62 as already described, the process for progress of the hold effect is also the game time It is started when starting the effect for.

  First, it is determined whether or not the current game run is a game run capable of executing a promotion effect (step S1701). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the current game time is not a game time corresponding to the occurrence of a big hit result, and a display continuation period is a game time for which a promotion effectable period (specifically, 10 seconds) or more is reached. At the same time, by referring to the production side holding area 125, it is determined whether or not one or more special drawing side holding information is held in the holding area 103. The promotion effectable period is a period equal to or longer than the longest period required to execute the promotion effect. For example, in the case of game times where the reach effect is not generated in the situation where the maximum number of special drawing side hold information is held and stored in the hold area 103, the display continuation period of the game times is less than the promotion effectable period It becomes a period. This game time is not a game time corresponding to the occurrence of a jackpot result, and is a game time when the display continuation period is more than the promotion possible period, and further, one or more special drawing side hold information is held and stored in the hold area 103 If it is determined, it is determined that the current game run is a game run in which a promotion effect can be executed. In addition, it is good also as composition which promotion production may occur, even if it is a game time which a jackpot result generates.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1701, the value of the reference counter provided in the sound light side RAM 84 is cleared to "0" (step S1702). The reference counter is a counter for specifying the hold information (that is, the hold unit image GR) which is the target of determination of the presence or absence of execution of the promotion effect by the sound light side MPU 82.

  Thereafter, promotion determination processing is executed (step S1703). In the promotion determination processing, when it is determined that promotion effect is to be executed on special drawing side holding information corresponding to the numerical information of the reference counter and it is determined that execution of the promotion effect is to be performed, the promotion effect is executed Determine the content. In this case, when the value of the reference counter is "0", the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the first unit area 125a in the effect side hold area 125 is the target of execution of the promotion determination processing, and the value of the reference counter is 1 Every time the addition is performed, the execution target of the promotion determination process is changed to the nth unit area 125a to 125h → the n + 1th unit area 125a to 125h. That is, the promotion determination processing is to be executed in order from the special figure side holding information on the side where the game sequence is settled earlier.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether “1” is set in both the red promotion effect flag and the one-step promotion effect flag provided in the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1704). It is already decided that the red promotion effect flag is to be executed for the holding unit image GR corresponding to any of the special drawing side holding information stored in the holding area 103 in the current game circulation effect. It is a flag for specifying in the sound light side MPU 82 that it has been done. The one-step promotion effect flag is to execute the one-step promotion effect in the current game circulation effect for the holding unit image GR corresponding to any of the special drawing side holding information stored in the holding area 103 It is a flag for specifying that the sound light side MPU 82 has already determined. When “1” is set in both the red promotion effect flag and the one-step promotion effect flag (step S1704: YES), the processing for progress of the main hold effect is ended.

  If at least one of the red promotion effect flag and the one-step promotion effect flag is “0” (step S1704: NO), the value of the reference counter of the sound light side RAM 84 is incremented by 1 (step S1705). As a result, the execution target of the promotion determination process is changed to the next-order special drawing side hold information. Then, by referring to the effect-side holding area 125, it is determined whether the value of the reference counter after 1 addition matches the number of the special-figure-side holding information held in the holding area 103 (Side) Step S1706). If a negative determination is made in step S1706, the process returns to the process of step S1703. If a positive determination is made in step S1706, the process for progress of the main effect is terminated.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the promotion determination processing executed in step S1703 in the processing for progression of holding effect (FIG. 38).

  By referring to the unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter of the sound light side RAM 84 among the first to eighth unit areas 125a to 125h of the effect side storage area 125, the current state of the reference counter The special view side hold information corresponding to the numerical information of is the jackpot information, and the display mode of the hold unit image GR corresponding to the special view side hold information is a display having a lower expectation of the jackpot result than the display mode of “red” It is determined whether it is an aspect (step S1801). In detail, based on referring to the production side reserve area 125, the special figure side reserve information targeted for execution of the game round before the special figure side reserve information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter is a big hit If it is specified that it corresponds to the result, it is specified that the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter is the execution target of the game round in the high probability mode. In addition, even if the special figure side reserve information targeted for execution of the game times prior to the special figure side reserve information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter does not correspond to the big hit result, the current success lottery Even when the mode is the high probability mode and the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter is within the execution count of the remaining game times of the high probability mode, the game times are to be executed. The special drawing side hold information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter is specified to be the execution target of the game round in the high probability mode. When it is determined that the special drawing side retention information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter is the execution target of the game round in the high probability mode, the height in the unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the special drawing side retention information When jackpot information at the time of high probability is set in the probability area at the time of probability, it is specified that the special map side hold information corresponds to the jackpot result. In addition, when it is specified that the special drawing side retention information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter is the execution target of the game round in the low probability mode, unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the special drawing side retention information When jackpot information at low probability is set in the low probability probability area at low probability, it is specified that the special map side hold information corresponds to the jackpot result. In addition, information corresponding to any of the display modes “white”, “blue”, “yellow” and “green” is set in the hold display area in unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter. It is determined whether the

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1801, it is determined whether "1" is set in any of the red promotion effect flag and the one-step promotion effect flag in the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1802). If “1” is not set in both the red promotion effect flag and the one-step promotion effect flag (step S1802: NO), a two-step promotion effect execution lottery process is executed (step S1803). The two-step promotion effect is red promotion effect and one-step promotion for the same holding unit image GR as shown in FIGS. 36 (a) to 36 (e) and FIGS. 37 (a) to 37 (e) It is an effect that both of the effects occur. In the execution lottery process of the two-stage promotion effect, while acquiring numerical information from the random number counter for two-stage promotion effect periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83 Check against the two-level promotion table that is being played. In the execution lottery process of the two-stage promotion effect, it is won with a probability of 10%.

  If it is determined that the two-step promotion effect is selected (step S1804: YES), the lottery process of the two-step promotion scenario is executed (step S1805). In the lottery process of the two-step promotion scenario, numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for the two-step promotion scenario periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Check against the table for the two-step promotion scenario. In this case, as shown in FIG. 36, there is a 10% probability that a two-step promotion effect will be selected in which a one-step promotion effect is performed after the red promotion effect is performed on the same pending unit image GR. As shown in 37, there is a 90% probability that a two-step promotion effect is selected in which a red promotion effect is performed after the one-step promotion effect is performed on the same pending unit image GR.

  After that, a table for effect for executing the 2-step promotion effect selected in the 2-step promotion scenario lottery process on the holding unit image GR corresponding to the current numerical value information of the reference counter is sounded from the sound light side ROM 83 It reads out to light side RAM84 (step S1806). In the process for holding effect (step S1113) executed when the affirmative determination is made in step S1112 of the game execution effect execution control process (FIG. 20), the execution control of effect is performed with reference to the table for effect Thus, the display control of the symbol display device 41 is performed such that the two-step promotion effect selected in the two-step promotion scenario lottery process is executed on the pending unit image GR corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter. The display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54 are controlled so that the effect corresponding to the display effect is executed. Thereafter, “1” is set in both the red promotion effect flag and the one-step promotion effect flag of the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1807).

  If a negative determination is made in step S1801, a positive determination is made in step S1802, or a negative determination is made in step S1804, the special figure side hold information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter is the jackpot information or It is determined whether or not the display mode of the holding unit image GR corresponding to the special view side suspension information is predetermined reach information and the expectation of the jackpot result is lower than the display mode of “red” (step S1808). The processing content for specifying whether or not it is jackpot information and the processing content for specifying whether or not it is a display mode in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is lower than the display mode of “red” are the case of step S1801 It is the same. When determining whether or not the predetermined reach information is determined, it is determined whether or not the predetermined reach information is set in the presence / absence of the predetermined reach in the unit areas 125a to 125h corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter. .

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1808, it is determined whether "1" is set in the red promotion effect flag of the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1809). If “1” is set in the red promotion effect flag (step S1809: YES), the process for executing the red promotion effect is not executed. This makes it possible to prevent red promotion effects from occurring in the plurality of holding unit images GR in one game circulation effect.

  If “1” is not set in the red promotion effect flag (step S1809: NO), an execution lottery process of the red promotion effect is executed (step S1810). In the red lottery effect execution lottery process, numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for red promotion effect periodically updated in the sound light side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound light side ROM 83. Match against the table for red promotion effects. In the execution lottery process of the red promotion effect If the special view side hold information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter corresponds to the big hit result, it will be elected with a probability of 20%, corresponding to the occurrence of the predetermined reach If you do, you will win with a probability of 10%.

  If it is determined that the red promotion effect is selected (step S 1811: YES), the red promotion scenario lottery process is executed (step S 1812: NO) if “1” is not set in the one-step promotion effect flag (step S 1812) Step S1813). In the lottery process of the red promotion scenario, the numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for the red promotion scenario periodically updated in the sound side RAM 84, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound side ROM 83. Match against the table for red promotion scenario. In this case, execution of only the red promotion effect is selected with a probability of 80%, and as shown in FIG. 37 with a probability of 20%, the red promotion effect is performed after one-step promotion effect is executed on the same holding unit image GR The execution of the two-stage promotion effect is selected.

  When an affirmation judging is carried out at Step S1812, or when processing of Step S1813 is performed, setting processing of a red promotion effect is performed (Step S1814). In the setting process, when an affirmative determination is made in step S1812, or when execution of only the red promotion effect is selected in step S1813, the red promotion effect is stored in the holding unit image GR corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter. The effect table to be executed is read out from the sound light side ROM 83 to the sound light side RAM 84. The red promotion effect is the numerical value of the current value of the reference counter by performing execution control of the effect with reference to the effect table in the process for holding effect (step S1113) in the game execution effect execution control process (FIG. 20) The display control of the symbol display device 41 is performed so as to be executed on the holding unit image GR corresponding to the information, and the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54 are controlled such that the effect corresponding to the display effect is performed. Be done. Further, in the setting process, when the two-step promotion effect is selected in step S 1813, the two-step promotion effect in which the red promotion effect is performed after the one-step promotion effect is performed is used as numerical information on the current state of the reference counter. The effect table for execution on the corresponding hold unit image GR is read out from the sound side ROM 83 to the sound side RAM 84. The two-step promotion effect is the current state of the reference counter by performing execution control of the effect with reference to the effect table in the process for holding effect (step S1113) in the effect control process for game circulation (FIG. 20) The display control of the symbol display device 41 is performed so as to be executed on the holding unit image GR corresponding to the numerical value information of the above, and the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54 are performed such that the effect corresponding to the display effect is performed. Is controlled.

  Thereafter, if the determination in step S 1812 is affirmative or if execution of only the red promotion effect is selected in step S 1813 (step S 1815: NO), the red promotion effect flag of the sound light side RAM 84 is “1”. The setting is made (step S1816). On the other hand, when execution of the two-step promotion effect is selected in step S 1813 (step S 1815: YES), “1” is set to each of the red promotion effect flag and the one-step promotion effect flag of the sound light side RAM 84 (Step S1817).

  If a negative determination is made in step S1808, a positive determination is made in step S1809, a negative determination is made in step S1811, a process of step S1816 is performed, or a process of step S1817 is performed, 1 A setting process of stage promotion effect is executed (step S1818). FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing setting processing of one-step promotion effect.

  When “1” is set in the one-step promotion effect flag of the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1901: YES), the setting process of the one-step promotion effect of this book ends. As a result, it becomes possible to prevent the one-step promotion effect from occurring in the plurality of holding unit images GR in one game-use effect. If “1” is not set in the one-step promotion effect flag (step S1901: NO), it is determined whether there is room to execute the one-step promotion effect (step S1902). If it is determined that red promotion effect is to be performed on the pending unit image GR corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter, it is determined that there is no room for execution of the one-step promotion effect.

  If it is determined that there is room to execute the one-step promotion effect (step S1902: YES), the one-step promotion effect execution lottery process is executed (step S1903). In the execution lottery process of one step promotion effect, numerical information is acquired from the random number counter for one step promotion effect periodically updated in the sound light side RAM 84 and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound light side ROM 83 Check against the one-step promotion table. In the execution lottery process of the one-step promotion effect, if the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the current numerical information of the reference counter corresponds to the big hit result, it will be elected with a probability of 50%, corresponding to the occurrence of the predetermined reach If the player is elected, it will be elected with a probability of 30%, if it corresponds to the occurrence of non-predetermined reach it will be elected with a probability of 10%, and if it corresponds to the out of reach non-occurrence result, 5% You will be elected with a probability of

  If it is determined that the one-step promotion effect is selected (step S1904: YES), the one-step promotion effect setting process is executed (step S1905). In the setting process, an effect table for executing one-step promotion effect on the holding unit image GR corresponding to the current numerical value information of the reference counter is read from the sound side ROM 83 to the sound side RAM 84. The one-step promotion effect is the current state of the reference counter by performing execution control of the effect with reference to the effect table in the process for holding effect (step S1113) in the game effect effect execution control process (FIG. 20). The display control of the symbol display device 41 is performed so as to be performed on the holding unit image GR corresponding to the numerical information, and the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54 are performed such that the effect corresponding to the display effect is performed. It is controlled. Thereafter, “1” is set to the one-step promotion effect flag of the sound light side RAM 84 (step S1906).

  Next, how a promotion effect is executed will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. FIG. 41 (a) shows the execution period of the game, FIG. 41 (b) shows the execution period of the red promotion effect, and FIG. 41 (c) shows the execution period of the one-step promotion effect.

  First, the case where only the red promotion effect is executed in one game run will be described. As shown in FIG. 41 (a), the game play is started at the timing of t1. In this case, the red promotion effect is started on the predetermined one holding unit image GR at the timing of t1 as shown in FIG. Then, the red promotion effect ends at the timing of t2. By executing the red promotion effect, the display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR is changed to “red”. Thereafter, at the timing of t3, as shown in FIG. Note that the red promotion effect is performed only on one holding unit image GR in one game cycle, and is not performed on a plurality of holding unit images GR in one game cycle.

  Next, the case where only one stage promotion effect is executed in one game session will be described. As shown in FIG. 41 (a), the game play is started at the timing of t4. In this case, one-step promotion effect is started on the predetermined one holding unit image GR at the timing of the t4 as shown in FIG. Then, the one-step promotion effect ends at the timing of t5. By performing the one-step promotion effect, the display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR is changed to a display mode in which the expectation of the jackpot result is one step higher. Thereafter, at the timing of t6, as shown in FIG. Note that the one-step promotion effect is performed only on one holding unit image GR in one game cycle, and is not performed on a plurality of holding unit images GR in one game cycle.

  Next, a description will be given of the case where a one-step promotion effect is to be executed after a red promotion effect is performed on a predetermined one holding unit image GR in one game round. Do. As shown in FIG. 41 (a), the game play is started at the timing of t7. In this case, the red promotion effect is started as shown in FIG. 41 (b) with respect to a predetermined one holding unit image GR at the timing of t7 and the one-step promotion as shown in FIG. 41 (c) The production is started. Then, the red promotion effect ends as shown in FIG. 41 (b) at the timing of t8, and the one-step promotion effect ends as shown in FIG. 41 (c) at the timing of t9 thereafter. When the one-step promotion effect ends after the red promotion effect ends, the display mode of the predetermined one pending unit image GR is changed to “rainbow color” that has the highest expectation of the jackpot result. After that, as shown in FIG. 41 (a) at the timing of t10, the current game run ends.

  Next, a case is described where a two-step promotion effect is performed in which a red promotion effect is performed after a one-step promotion effect is performed on a predetermined one holding unit image GR in one game round Do. As shown in FIG. 41A, the game play is started at the timing of t11. In this case, the red promotion effect is started as shown in FIG. 41 (b) with respect to a predetermined one holding unit image GR at the timing of t11 and the one-step promotion as shown in FIG. 41 (c) The production is started. Then, the one-step promotion effect ends as shown in FIG. 41C at timing t12, and the red promotion effect ends as shown in FIG. 41B at timing t13 thereafter. When the red promotion effect ends after the one-step promotion effect is finished, the display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR is changed to "red". After that, as shown in FIG. 41 (a) at the timing of t14, the current game run ends.

  According to the embodiment described above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  When special game side reservation information corresponding to the big hit result is reserved and stored in the hold area 103, when it becomes the game turn corresponding to the big hit result, the special effect at the time of the big hit can be executed in the game circulation effect. That is, when the special effect at the time of the big hit occurs, it is decided that the big hit result of multiple times occurs at that time. As a result, the player is expected to generate a special effect at the time of the jackpot in the game effect, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  The contents of execution of special effects at the time of jackpot differ depending on the number of special drawing side hold information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the hold area 103. As a result, the player is expected to execute the special effect at the time of the jackpot of the execution content corresponding to the fact that the special drawing side reservation information corresponding to the jackpot result is stored in a larger number. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the execution content of the special effect at the big hit as well as the presence or absence of the special effect at the big hit.

  When the first same symbol combination G3 is stopped and displayed in the special effect at the time of the jackpot, it is determined that one special drawing side hold information corresponding to the jackpot result is held and stored, and the special at the time of the jackpot When the second same symbol combination G4 is stopped and displayed in the effect, it is determined that two or more special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result is stored. As a result, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the execution contents of the special effect at the big hit as well as the presence or absence of the special effect at the big hit. Moreover, since it is sufficient to display the second same symbol combination G4 in a stand-by manner when notifying that the special figure side reservation information corresponding to the big hit result is two or more pending storage, the first same symbol combination Even if it is a situation where the standby display of G3 can not be generated multiple times, it is possible to execute the special effect at the time of the big hit corresponding to the number of the special figure side hold information corresponding to the big hit result is reserved and stored. It becomes.

  In the low probability mode, since the support mode is the low frequency support mode, the player aims to win the first operation device 33 and shoots the game ball so as to flow down the left area PA2 in the game area PA. Do. Then, the first actuation device 33 generates an acquisition trigger for the first special view side suspension information, and the second special view detection sensor generates the acquisition trigger for the second special view side suspension information. Both sensors 33b are provided. Therefore, in the low probability mode, when the firing operation of the gaming ball is performed with the aim of winning in the first actuation device 33, eight special view side suspension information can be suspended and stored in the suspension area 103. In such a situation, in the low probability mode, the special figure side reserve information which becomes a big hit result in the high probability mode in the first reserve range which is the range of the fifth to eighth special view side reserve information in the game sequence Special effects at the time of the jackpot are executed, provided that Temporarily, in the low probability mode, as a special effect at the time of big hit in the situation where 8 special drawing side pending information is being held and stored, there is only one special drawing side pending information corresponding to the big hit result When a special effect at the time of big hit indicating that it is performed, if it is a big hit result in the first game time after the end of the opening and closing execution mode triggered by the game time when the special effect at the time of big hit was performed There is a high possibility that the remaining seven special drawing side holding information which has been held and held when the special effect at the time of the big hit is executed does not correspond to the big hit result. Then, the special effect at the time of the jackpot will indicate that the seven special drawing side holding information has a low expectation for the jackpot result. On the other hand, if the low probability mode as described above, the special effect at the time of the jackpot is executed on the condition that the special figure side hold information which is a big hit result in the high probability mode is held and stored in the first hold range. With this configuration, it is possible to execute a special effect at the time of jackpot while preventing occurrence of the above-described event.

  In the case of executing the special effect at the time of the jackpot, the execution mode of the variable display of the symbols in the symbol display device 41 is taken as an aspect corresponding to the special effect. This makes it easier for the player to notice that the special effect at the time of the big hit is being executed. In addition, after the movement display of the symbol is stopped within the range of one game circulation effect, the movement display of the symbol is performed again, whereby the special effect at the time of big hit is executed. From this point as well, it is possible to make it easy for the player to understand that the special effect at the time of the jackpot is being executed.

  In the case where symbol movement display is performed again within the range of one game routine effect to execute the special effect at the time of big hit, the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby before the movement display is performed again. Ru. This makes it possible for the player to easily recognize that the second execution of the movement display of the symbol corresponds to the special effect at the time of the big hit.

  Even if it is a game time when the special effect at the time of big hit is not executed, the temporary stop symbol combination G1 may be displayed on standby in the game-use effect. As a result, when the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby, the player expects the symbol movement display to be executed again.

  The number of times the symbol movement display is performed again is different within the range of one game cycle effect depending on the number of the suspension information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the suspension area 103 for suspension. As a result, the player pays attention to the number of times the symbol movement display is performed again.

  In a situation where two or more pieces of suspension information corresponding to the big hit result are stored in the pending area 103, at least two execution room of movement display of the symbol in step S1312 in the special effect process (FIG. 23) at the time of big hit If it is determined that there is room for execution, the symbol reassignment is performed in which the first same symbol combination G3 is displayed on standby, and the symbol repositioning is also performed thereafter. If it is determined that there is no room for execution, re-movement of the symbols for which the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby is performed. That is, the number of times the symbol re-movement is performed may vary in accordance with the display continuation period of the game times. This makes it possible to prevent the jackpot special effect from being executed irrespective of the display duration of the game times.

  In the configuration in which the continuous effect and the point effect are executed as the pseudo-series effect, the points imparted by the point effect are carried over even if the unit change display cycle is newly started, while the continuous effect is performed Even if the unit change display cycle is newly started, the number of stages of the effect contents of the continuous effect at that time is not carried over, and the continuous effect is ended. Then, in the situation where both the continuous effect and the point effect are being executed, the third step of the continuous effect occurs when the third stage effect of the continuous effect occurs before the total grant points reach the reference points. It is possible to increase the degree of expectation for the occurrence of the third unit fluctuation display cycle than when the total awarding point reaches the reference point before the staging effect occurs. Then, since the degree of expectation of the jackpot result is higher when the third unit fluctuation display cycle occurs, as a result, the third stage effect of the continuous effect occurs before the total grant point reaches the reference point In the case, the expectation of the jackpot result is higher than in the case where the total grant points reach the reference points before the third stage effect of the continuous effect occurs.

  Moreover, in the case of the said structure, the expectation degree of a jackpot result is high for the direction in which the total provision point does not generate | occur | produce until a reference point is performed by the third stage production of continuation production being performed after continuation production is started. Become. In this case, when the continuous effect is started, the player is expected to produce no effect in which the total grant points reach the reference points before the third-step effect of the continuous effect is performed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the effect, and to improve the interest of the game.

  The period from the start of the continuous effect to the occurrence of the third stage effect of the continuous effect and the period from the start of the point effect to the time when the total award points reach the reference point may partially overlap . Thereby, it is possible to generate a period in which the effect is confirmed while expecting that the third effect of the continuous effect occurs first.

  When the other side effect which is one of the continuation effect and the point effect is started earlier, the third stage effect of the continuation effect and the total grant point correspond to the above-mentioned effect among the effects which reach the reference point Side effects may be performed later. As a result, the order in which the third stage effect of the continuous effect and the effect of the total awarding point reach the reference point is not related to the start order of the continuous effect and the point effect. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the player's attention until the order of execution of effects in which the third stage effect of the continuous effect and the total award points reach the reference point is clarified.

  In a configuration in which a red promotion effect and a one-step promotion effect are executed as the holding effect, a first instruction by the one-step promotion effect after the second instruction image IG2 by the red promotion effect touches a predetermined one holding unit image GR The display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR is changed to a display mode with a higher expectation of the jackpot result, when the image IG1 is in contact with the image IG1 than when the order is reversed. As a result, when both the red promotion effect and the one-step promotion effect are generated, the player receives the one-step promotion effect after the second instruction image IG2 by the red promotion effect touches the predetermined one holding unit image GR. It is expected that the first indication image IG1 will touch. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the effect, and to improve the interest of the game.

  A period from when the red promotion effect is started to when the second instruction image IG2 touches the holding unit image GR, and a period when the one-step promotion effect is started until the first instruction image IG1 contacts the holding unit image GR Can overlap. Thereby, in a situation where these periods overlap, the player touches the first designated image IG1 by the one-step promotion effect after the second designated image IG2 by the red promotion effect touches the predetermined one holding unit image GR. It will confirm the said production while expecting that.

  The effect that the first instruction image IG1 comes in contact with the one-step promotion effect after the second instruction image IG2 by the red promotion effect comes in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR is that the predetermined one holding unit image GR is the big hit However, the second instruction image IG2 by red promotion effect is in contact after the first instruction image IG1 by one step promotion effect is in contact with one predetermined holding unit image GR. Is generated even when the predetermined one reserved unit image GR does not correspond to the jackpot result. This makes it possible to increase the player's attention to the execution order of these effects.

  After the first instruction image IG1 by the one-step promotion effect is in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR, the second instruction image IG2 by the red promotion effect is in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR in the big hit result It occurs even if it corresponds. This makes it possible to prevent the player's sense of expectation from being lost even when the effects are executed in the execution order.

  Even when the red promotion effect is executed or when the one-step promotion effect is executed, the display mode of the predetermined one holding unit image GR is a jackpot result as compared to the case where these effects are not executed. The degree of expectation is changed to a display mode higher than before. Thus, not only the order in which the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 touch the predetermined one holding unit image GR, but also the player is focused on the red promotion effect and the one-step promotion effect Is possible.

Second Embodiment
In the present embodiment, the processing configuration for setting numerical information in the hit number counter of the sound light side RAM 84 when executing special effects at the time of big hit is different from that of the first embodiment. The configuration different from the first embodiment will be described below. The description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment is basically omitted.

  FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing the setting processing of the hit number counter executed by the sound side MPU 82. In addition, the setting process of the hit number counter is executed instead of the process of step S1213 of the effect determination process (FIG. 22) in the first embodiment.

  First, the process of identifying the jackpot information is executed (step S2001). Specifically, unit areas 125a to 125h in which jackpot information at the time of high probability is stored are specified in production side holding area 125.

  After that, tallying processing of the number of round games is executed (step S2002). In the present embodiment, when jackpot information at the time of high probability is set in the first hold command and the second hold command transmitted from the main side MPU 62 to the sound side MPU 82, the first hold command and the second hold command are set. The information on the number of round games when the open / close execution mode is generated is also set by the special view side hold information that triggered the transmission of the jackpot information at the time of the high probability. Then, when the sound-side MPU 82 receives the first hold command or the second hold command in which the jackpot information at the high probability is set, the information on the number of round games set in the hold command is It stores to the unit areas 125a to 125h for storing the jackpot information at the time of probability. In step S2002, the number information on the number of round games is read out from the unit areas 125a to 125h in which the jackpot information at high probability is stored in step S2001. In this case, when there are a plurality of unit areas 125a to 125h in which the jackpot information at the high probability is stored, the number information on the number of round games read out from the plurality of unit areas 125a to 125h is totaled.

  After that, the number information on the number of round games grasped in the tabulation process in step S2002 is divided by “4” which is the reference number (step S2003). Even in this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, as a big hit result, the number of round games in the open / close execution mode is 4 times, and the number of round games in the open / close execution mode is 8 The 8R high probability jackpot result which is the number of times and the 16R high probability jackpot result where the number of round games in the opening / closing execution mode is 16 times are set. In the configuration, the reference number "4" corresponds to the number of round games in the case of the 4R high probability jackpot result with the smallest number of round games. In addition, the number of round games in the case of 8R high probability jackpot result and the number of round games in the case of 16R high probability jackpot result become natural number multiple of 2 or more against "4" which is the reference number There is. Therefore, the remainder of the division result in step S2003 does not occur. Thereafter, numerical information on the quotient of the division result in step S2003 is set in the hit number counter of the sound light side RAM 84 (step S2004).

  Even in the present embodiment, when the value of the hit number counter of the sound light side RAM 84 is 2 or more, the event that the same symbol combination G3, G4 is displayed on standby after removement of all symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is made multiple times Occur. In addition, the same symbol combination G3, G4 is displayed on standby after re-movement of all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 even if the value of the hit number counter is 2 or more in relation to the remaining display continuation period of game times When an event occurs only once, the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby. In this case, by making it easy to set more numerical information by the hit number counter as in this embodiment, an event in which the same symbol combination G3, G4 is displayed on standby after re-moving all symbol rows Z1 to Z3 as described above It is possible to generate many situations where it occurs a plurality of times and situations where the second same symbol combination G4 is displayed on standby.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the value "1" of the hit number counter does not correspond to one execution of the open / close execution mode, but corresponds to four round games. In this case, in the present embodiment, every time four round games are executed even in the middle of the open / close execution mode, an effect indicating the end of the open / close execution mode in the symbol display device 41, the display light emitting unit 53 and the speaker unit 54 And an effect indicating the start of the open / close execution mode may be executed. In addition, the effect of indicating the addition of the open / close execution mode may be executed between the effect indicating the end of the open / close execution mode and the effect indicating the start of the open / close execution mode. As a result, it is possible to make the appearance of the effect correspond to one execution of the open / close execution mode with the value “1” of the hit number counter.

Third Embodiment
In this embodiment, even if it is a game run where a special effect at the time of big hit is not executed, it is only that the current game run will be a big hit result by the symbol combination finally stopped and displayed in the game use effect in the symbol display device 41. However, it is possible to indicate whether or not the special drawing side holding information that results in the jackpot result exists in the holding area 103 instead. The configuration different from the first embodiment will be described below. The description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment is basically omitted.

  FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing stop symbol determination processing executed by the sound light side MPU 82. The stop symbol determination process is executed in the other effect determination process (step S1217) of the effect determination process (FIG. 22) in the first embodiment.

  If the current game play is not a jackpot result (step S2101: NO), other processing is executed (step S2102). In other processes, if it is a game turn where reach effect occurs, the stop result including the combination of reach symbols but not including the same symbol combination is finally displayed as a stop symbol on the symbol display device 41 in the current game turn If it is a game round in which reach effect is not generated, the stop result not including the combination of the same symbol and the reach symbol is decided as a stop symbol to be finally stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 41 in the current game round.

  If the current game play is a big hit result (step S2101: YES), an execution lottery process of the stop symbol effect is executed (step S2103). Execution of stop symbol effect In the lottery process, while acquiring the numerical information from the random number counter for the stop symbol effect periodically updated in the sound light side RAM 84, the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the sound light side ROM 83 It is checked against the stop symbol effect table. In the execution lottery process of the stop symbol effect it is elected with a probability of 10%. If it is determined that the execution of the stop symbol effect is won (step S2104: YES), by referring to the effect holding area 125, the special area side holding information that is a big hit result in the high probability mode exists in the holding area 103 It is determined whether or not there is (step S2105).

  When it does not become the execution winning of stop symbol production (step S2104: NO) or when there is no special figure side reservation information which becomes a big hit result in high probability mode in reservation area 103 (step S2105: NO), The setting process of the first jackpot combination is executed (step S2106). In the setting process of the first jackpot combination, the stop result in which the combination of the same symbols by the even symbols is displayed is determined as a stop symbol to be finally displayed on the symbol display device 41 in the current game round.

  In the case where the execution of the stop symbol effect has been won, and there is special drawing side holding information that will be a big hit result in the high probability mode in the holding area 103 (step S2104 and step S2105: YES), high probability If there is only one special drawing side reservation information that results in a jackpot result in the mode (YES in step S2107), the setting process of the second jackpot combination is executed (step S2108). In the setting process of the second jackpot combination, the stop result that the combination of the same symbol by the symbol of “1” or the symbol of “9” is displayed is finally displayed stationary on the symbol display device 41 in the present game round Determined as a stop pattern to be allowed.

  If there are two special drawing side holding information which will be the jackpot result in the high probability mode (YES in step S2109), the setting process of the third jackpot combination is executed (step S2110). In the setting process of the third jackpot combination, the stop result that the combination of the same symbol by the symbol of "3" or the symbol of "5" will be displayed is finally displayed stationary on the symbol display device 41 in the present game round Determined as a stop pattern to be allowed.

  If there are three or more special drawing side reservation information that result in a jackpot result in the high probability mode (step S2109: NO), the setting process of the fourth jackpot combination is executed (step S2111). In the setting process of the fourth jackpot combination, the stop result that the combination of the same symbol by the symbol of “7” is displayed is determined as the stop symbol to be finally displayed on symbol display device 41 in the current game round. .

  According to the above configuration, not only that the game times correspond to the jackpot result but also the jackpot area 103 is jackpotted by the mode of the symbol combination finally displayed in the game display effect in the symbol display device 41 by stop display It is possible to suggest to the player whether or not the resultant special drawing side holding information is held and stored. This makes it possible to increase the player's attention to the game-use effect in the symbol display device 41.

  In addition, the above-mentioned symbol combination is determined in a mode corresponding to the number of special drawing side holding information of the jackpot result stored in the holding area 103 for holding. This makes it possible to increase the player's attention to the symbol combination.

  In addition, stop symbol production is executed when execution is elected in the execution lottery process of stop symbol production, and when it does not become execution election, the special figure side reservation information which becomes big hit result for reservation 103 is reserved If not stored, the symbol combination selected in the stop symbol effect is determined as the stop symbol. As a result, even if the symbol combination is displayed stationary, it is possible to make the player expect that the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result exists in the holding area 103.

Other Embodiments
In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, A various deformation | transformation improvement is possible within the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, it may be changed as follows. Incidentally, the configurations of the following different embodiments may be applied individually to the configuration of the above embodiment, or may be applied in combination.

  (1) In the low probability mode, if the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result is not held and stored in any of the fifth area 115 to the eighth area 118 in the holding area 103, the special at the time of big hit Although it was set as the structure in which a production is not performed, it is not limited to this, and among the special figure side reservation information acquired at the timing which decides the presence or absence of the special production at the time of big hit In the case where special drawing side holding information corresponding to the big hit result exists within the two ranges from the slow special drawing side holding information, a special effect at the time of big winning may be executed. In this case, it is possible to increase the frequency at which the special effect at the time of big hit is performed.

  (2) A special effect at the time of a big hit is executed when the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the big hit result is not stored in a predetermined range area among the first to eighth areas 111 to 118 of the hold area 103 When special figure side reservation information corresponding to the big hit result is put on hold in any of the 1st to 8th areas 111 to 118 of the hold area 103 in the game time that will be the big hit result instead of the configuration that is not done. It is good also as composition that special production at the time of big hit may be performed. This makes it possible to increase the frequency with which the special effect at the time of big hit is performed.

  (3) The execution mode of the special effect at the time of big hit is not limited to those of the above embodiments, for example, instead of the configuration in which the temporary stop symbol combination G1 is displayed on standby, the same symbol combination is on standby first After being informed that the current game round corresponds to the jackpot result by being displayed, the jackpot result that is held and stored in the holding area 103 by the combination of the symbol re-movement and the subsequent stop result The number of corresponding special drawing side holding information may be notified. Further, the effect operation unit 57 operated before the symbol re-movement is performed may be a lever type, not a button type. Further, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which the operation effective period of the effect operation unit 57 occurs before the symbol re-movement is performed, and the symbol re-movement may occur without the operation effective period occurring. . In addition, regardless of the number of special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the holding area 103, the symbol may be removed only once. In this case, the number of special view-side hold information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the hold area 103 may be suggested according to the type of symbol combination displayed in standby after re-moving the symbol.

  (4) The special effect at the time of one type of jackpot may be executed regardless of the number of pieces of special drawing side bank information corresponding to the jackpot result stored in the bank area 103 for suspension. In this case, the player who has confirmed the special effect at the time of the jackpot will expect that the special drawing side hold information corresponding to the larger jackpot result is held and stored in the hold area 103.

  (5) The types of symbol combinations to be displayed on standby after re-moving symbols are not limited to two, and may be one type or three or more types. For example, in the case of one type, among the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the large hit result stored in the holding area 103, one special drawing side holding information not to be notified by the special effect at the big hitting Even if it is a plurality, one kind of symbol combination is displayed on standby. As a result, it is possible to make the player expect the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the jackpot result to be held more frequently.

  (6) The special display side retention corresponding to the display continuation period of the game turn concerned and the big hit result memorized in the area for reserve 103 when starting the game turn effect in the game turn where the special effect at the time of big hit occurs The number of times the symbol re-movement occurs may be determined in advance from the relationship with the number of pieces of information. In this case, the number of times the symbol re-movement occurs in a range not exceeding the display duration of the game times is determined.

  (7) The special effect at the time of the jackpot may be executed not only in the game times for the jackpot result but also in the open / close execution mode following thereafter. Specifically, the number of times of symbol re-movement may be determined within the range of the total period of the display continuation period of the game round resulting in the jackpot result and the opening period of the opening / closing execution mode. As a result, it is possible to secure a long period for executing the special effect at the time of the big hit.

  (8) The maximum number of unit change display times in one game run is not limited to three, and may be two or four or more, in the case where simulated connection effect is executed. Good.

  (9) The point effect may be continued even in the third unit change display cycle. In this case, when the total grant point reaches the reference point in the third unit fluctuation display cycle, the expectation of the effect or jackpot result that the occurrence of the jackpot result is determined in the reach effect in the third unit fluctuation display cycle It is good also as composition which an effect more than a predetermined degree of expectation generates. This makes it possible to make the player pay attention to the point effect even in the third unit fluctuation display cycle, and in the second unit fluctuation display cycle, the awarded points are 1 or more, and the third game is executed. The player is expected to start the unit change display cycle.

  (10) As the types of jackpot results, there are a low probability jackpot result in which the success or failure lottery mode becomes the low probability mode after the opening / closing execution mode and a high probability jackpot result in which the success or failure lottery mode becomes the high probability mode after the opening / closing execution mode In the configuration, after the combination of symbols corresponding to the jackpot result is displayed on standby, the total award point may reach the reference point and the symbol combination corresponding to the jackpot result is displayed on standby after the symbol combination is displayed. When the point reaches the reference point, the occurrence of the highly probable jackpot result may be determined. This makes it possible to secure a long period during which the player pays attention to the point effect.

  (11) A configuration may be adopted in which points provided in the point effect are not carried over to the new unit change display cycle while effect contents of the continuous effect are carried over to the new unit change display cycle. In this case, if the total grant points reach the reference points before the third stage effect contents of the continuous effect occur, the expectation of the jackpot result is higher.

  (12) While the continuous effect and the point effect are basically executed in duplicate, when the point effect does not occur in the middle of the continuous effect, the jackpot result occurs in the game round May be determined. In addition, conversely to this, when the continuous effect is not generated in the middle of the point effect, it may be determined that the jackpot result is generated in the game round. Also, in a configuration in which low probability jackpot results and high probability jackpot results exist, it is determined that high probability jackpot results will occur in the game round when point effects do not occur during continuous presentation. The configuration may be such that, if no continuous effect occurs in the middle of the point effect, it may be determined that the high probability jackpot result will occur in the game round.

  (13) The present invention is not limited to the configuration in which the red promotion effect and the one-step promotion effect are simultaneously started, and the start timing of these effects may be shifted. In this case, even if the red promotion effect is started earlier than the one-step promotion effect, the first instruction image IG1 may be in contact with the holding unit image GR earlier than the second instruction image IG2. Even if the stage promotion effect is started before the red promotion effect, the second instruction image IG2 may be in contact with the holding unit image GR before the first instruction image IG1. According to this configuration, regardless of the start timing of the red promotion effect and the one-step promotion effect, the player can be in contact with the first instruction image IG1 after the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR. Can be expected to

  In addition, when the red promotion effect is started earlier than the one-step promotion effect, the second instruction image IG2 may be in contact with the holding unit image GR before the first instruction image IG1, or 1 If the stage promotion effect is started before the red promotion effect, the first indication image IG1 may be in contact with the holding unit image GR before the second indication image IG2. According to the configuration, the player pays attention to the start timing of the red promotion effect and the one-step promotion effect.

  (14) In the case where the red promotion effect and the one-step promotion effect overlap and occur, the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image IG2 are simultaneously in contact with a predetermined one holding unit image GR. The configuration may be more advantageous for the player than in the case where the first instruction image IG1 is in contact after the second instruction image IG2 is in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR. For example, in the case where a special hit side hold information corresponding to the jackpot result is held and stored in the hold area 103, which is a game turn that will be a jackpot result, the first instruction image IG1 and one predetermined hold unit image GR A configuration may be made in which an effect in which the second instruction image IG2 simultaneously contacts may be generated. As a result, when the red promotion effect and the one-step promotion effect occur redundantly, the target expected by the player becomes stepwise, and it becomes possible to improve the interest of the game.

  In the configuration where the low probability jackpot result and the high probability jackpot result exist, when the second indication image IG2 is in contact with the predetermined one holding unit image GR, and then the first indication image IG1 is in contact. Determines that the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the holding unit image GR corresponds to any of the big hit results, the first instruction image IG1 and the second instruction image in a predetermined one holding unit image GR When IG2 simultaneously contacts, it may be determined that the special drawing side holding information corresponding to the holding unit image GR corresponds to the high probability jackpot result.

  (15) The timing at which the red promotion effect starts is not limited to the start timing of the game effect, but may be an intermediate timing of the game effect. Further, a plurality of types of timings at which the red promotion effect is started may be set, and the start timing may be determined by lottery.

  (16) The timing at which the one-step promotion effect is started is not limited to the start timing of the game effect, but may be an intermediate timing of the game effect. In addition, a plurality of types of timings at which the one-step promotion effect is started may be set, and the start timing may be determined by lottery.

  (17) Instead of the configuration in which the display control device 90 is controlled by the voice emission control device 80 based on the command transmitted from the main control device 60, display control based on the command transmitted from the main control device 60 The device 90 may control the sound emission control device 80. Further, instead of the configuration in which the sound emission control device 80 and the display control device 90 are separately provided, both control devices may be provided as one control device, and one function of the both control devices may be provided. May be integrated into the main control unit 60, and both functions of both control units may be integrated into the main control unit 60. Further, the configuration of the command transmitted from the main control device 60 to the sound emission control device 80 and the configuration of the command transmitted from the sound emission control device 80 to the display control device 90 are also arbitrary.

  (18) The device for executing the game effect is not limited to the symbol display device 41, and the game operation effect is executed by operating the movable decoration member. It is good also as composition which an effect for game circulation is performed by making a predetermined light emission part turn on, and good also as composition that an effect for game circulation is performed by combination of all or a part of each above-mentioned mode.

  (19) Other types of pachinko machines and the like different from the above embodiments, for example, pachinko machines in which a motorized role opens a predetermined number of times when gaming balls enter a specific area of a special device The present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine that becomes a jackpot when a right enters and becomes a jackpot, a pachinko machine equipped with other features, an arrange ball machine, a game machine such as a ball ball, and the like.

  A non-ball-ball type game machine, for example, a plurality of reels having a plurality of kinds of symbols attached in the circumferential direction, starts the rotation of the reels by inserting medals and operating the start lever, and the stop switch is operated. If a specific symbol or a combination of specific symbols is established on an effective line visible from the display window after the reel is stopped by the passage of a predetermined time, a bonus such as payout of medals is given to the player The present invention can also be applied to slot machines.

  In addition, the gaming machine main body supported in an openable and closable manner by the outer frame is provided with the storage section and the loading device, and the start lever is operated after the predetermined number of gaming balls stored in the storage section are loaded by the loading device. The present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated by starting to rotate the reels.
