Abstract

To suppress degradation in the amusement properties of games.SOLUTION: A plurality of types of identification symbols 10 of a game machine 1 includes special symbols 10s and normal symbols 10n. When a special ready-to-win for forming a ready-to-win state is generated with the special symbols 10s, a probability of a winning or losing determination result to become a winning is set higher as compared to when a normal ready-to-win for forming a ready-to-win state is generated with the normal symbols 10n. A whipping up presentation for indicating a presence of a generation possibility of the special ready-to-win is configured to be generated when a symbol change presentation is generated in which the normal symbols 10n selected from one identification symbol group 10g and performed a pseudo stop are changed to the special symbols 10s. On the other hand, when the symbol change presentation is not generated and if the special symbols 10s are selected from one identification symbol group 10g and performed a pseudo stop, in some cases, the whipping presentation is not generated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  For example, as described in Patent Document 1 below, when the reach state is constructed with a specific symbol (for example, the symbol of "7"), the pass / fail is compared to the case where the reach state is constructed with another symbol. There is known a gaming machine which is set such that the probability (so-called reliability) at which the judgment result will be a jackpot is high (see paragraph 0438 of Patent Document 1 below).

JP, 2016-317, A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of suppressing deterioration in the taste of a game.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above problems, a plurality of identification symbol groups each including a plurality of identification symbols are variably displayed on the display device, and are selected from the plurality of identification symbol groups The gaming machine is notified of the result of the determination by the combination of the identification symbols displayed, and the plurality of identification symbols include a special symbol and a normal symbol, and a special reach where a reach state is constructed with the special symbol is When it occurs, it is set so that the probability that the success or failure judgment result will be higher is higher than when the normal reach occurs where the reach condition is constructed with the normal symbol, and it is selected from one identification symbol group and simulated When a symbol change effect occurs in which the stopped normal symbol changes to the special symbol, while a sting effect indicating that the special reach may occur is generated. When the special symbol the symbol change effect is selected from one identification symbols groups without evolution had pseudo stopped, wherein the tilt effect is configured may not occur.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the game's preference.

It is a front view of a game machine concerning this embodiment. It is the figure which showed the identification symbol (identification symbol group) displayed on a display apparatus. It is a list of identification symbols (default mode). It is a figure for explaining an outline of design change production. It is a figure for demonstrating the outline | summary of turning production, and is a figure showing a series of flows by which a special reach is built after turning production. It is a figure for demonstrating the outline | summary of turning production, and is a figure showing a series of flows by which a special reach is not built after turning production and deviation is reported. It is a figure showing a series of flows in which a special symbol is pseudo-stopped without a symbol change effect, and it is informed that it is a gap without generating a turning effect. It is a figure for demonstrating a 5th example. It is a figure for demonstrating a 6th example. It is a figure for demonstrating a 7th example. In the case of adopting the configuration of the seventh example, after the special symbol characters constructing the special reach are combined, the aspect of the special symbol returns to the default aspect by returning the combined symbol. It is a figure for demonstrating an example.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the entire configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 comprises a gaming board 90. The game board 90 is formed of substantially square plywood, and the guide rails 903 forming a passage for guiding the game balls fired by the operation of the launch device 908 (launch handle) to the game area 902 have a substantially arc shape. It is provided as.

  In the game area 902, a start winning hole 904, a big winning hole 906, an out hole 907, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Although the display area 911 is roughly described in some of the drawings, the shape and the like can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the opening 901, and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself can be changed). Shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed).

  Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls by collision of the game balls flowing down. The game balls flowing down the game area 902 change in various manners according to the conditions at the time of collision with the game nail.

  In such a gaming machine 1, by operating the launcher 908, the gaming ball is launched toward the gaming area 902. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the start winning hole 904 or the big winning hole 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

  Description of the components of the gaming machine 1 not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1, the lower tray for storing gaming balls, and the upper tray, is omitted. About these, the thing of the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable.

  The lottery of success or failure (success or failure judgment) is executed when the success or failure judgment means provided on the control board (not shown) is triggered by the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening 904 shown in FIG. Multiple may be provided). In the present embodiment, although the winning "mouth" (the winning game ball is taken into the inside), the winning "area" (the winning game ball directly flows down the gaming area 902. The winning area is the gate The thing which made such an aspect can be illustrated).

  A numerical value is acquired from a random number source triggered by a game ball winning in the start winning hole 904, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, it becomes a big hit, and if it is different, it becomes a gap. That is, with or without the winning of the game ball on the starting winning opening 904, it is determined directly whether or not the jackpot has been won.

  When the jackpot is won, the jackpot game is executed. In the big hit game, the big winning opening 906 is frequently opened, and the player can acquire many game balls (so-called balls), which are similar to known game machines, and therefore detailed description will be given. Omit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, notification of the success or failure determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values for performing the above success or failure determination are acquired, but when a certain numerical value is acquired, it is acquired before that When the success or failure determination result based on a numerical value is notified, the notification is stored in storage means provided on a control board (not shown) until notification of the success or failure determination result based on the certain numerical value is started. The maximum storage number (maximum pending number) of numerical values (hereinafter, also referred to as pending (information)) for which notification of the success / failure determination result has not been started can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of pending information that can be stored by the storage means in the present embodiment is four. In addition, the numerical value acquired in order to perform a yes or no determination is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the presentation which alert | reports a yes or no determination result. In the display area 911, a display may be made to indicate the presence of the hold information. In addition, it is good also as constitution which makes the yes / no decision itself immediately remembering the yes / no decision result itself in the occasion where it wins in starting winning a prize mouth 904 (in this case, the yes / no decision result itself is hold information It turns out that). The stored hold information is displayed in the display area 911 as a held symbol. In each figure, illustration of a reservation symbol is omitted.

  Whether the success or failure judgment result is a jackpot or not is notified by a combination of a plurality of (seven in this embodiment) identification symbols 10 displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in this embodiment, three identification symbol groups 10 g including numbers “1” to “7” (which are the main parts 11 described later) are variably displayed. Basically, it is fluctuatingly displayed in the state of being arranged in the order of the said number. Each identification symbol group 10g starts to change simultaneously with the start of the effect of notifying a certain determination result, and when the jackpot is won, the identification symbol 10 finally stops in a predetermined combination. As the predetermined combination, three sets of the same identification symbol 10 can be exemplified. When it is out of alignment, the identification symbol 10 is stopped in a combination other than the combination that becomes the jackpot.

  Each identification symbol 10 in the present embodiment includes a main portion 11 and an accompanying portion 12. The main portion 11 is a portion including characters such as numbers and alphabets. As described above, the main part 11 in the present embodiment includes any of the numbers “1” to “7”. On the other hand, the accompanying part 12 in the present embodiment is a part including a design representing a character. Since the incidental part 12 is a part for enhancing the rendering effect, the size, the form, and the like may change in accordance with the rendering. For example, there is a case where a character constituting the accompanying portion 12 moves or the like. On the other hand, the main part 11 basically does not change its aspect (it does not deny that it changes, but even if it changes in any way, the content (content of characters) represented by the symbol is displayed It is desirable for the player to always distinguish the type of each identification symbol 10 by the main part 11). Basically, the player looks at the main part 11, and grasps what the result of the judgment of the success or failure is.

  One identification symbol group 10 g in the present embodiment includes a plurality of identification symbols 10. As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, one identification symbol group 10 g basically includes seven identification symbols 10 each of which the main part 11 includes any one of “1” to “7”. Including. Special effects may be generated such that other symbols are included in one identification symbol group 10g. The plurality of types of identification symbols 10 are divided into one or more special symbols 10s and a normal symbol 10n which is another symbol. In this embodiment, a symbol whose main part 11 is "7" is a special symbol 10s, and a symbol whose other main part 11 is any of "1" to "6" is a normal symbol 10n.

  As one of the elements constituting the difference between the special symbol 10s and the normal symbol 10n, there may be mentioned a difference in reliability when a so-called reach state is constructed. The reach state is a state in which the possibility of becoming a big hit still remains in the state where the fluctuation of some of the identification symbol groups 10g among the plurality of identification symbol groups 10g is pseudo stopped. It should be noted that "simulated stop" refers to a state where the player appears to have stopped, but has not completely stopped. In order to secure the occurrence of a so-called re-variation effect or the like that is known, in the present embodiment, the identification symbol 10 for establishing the reach state is in a state of being "simulated stop". However, it does not necessarily deny that the identification symbol 10 constructing the reach state is completely stopped (including the mode of completely stopping the "simulated stop"). In this embodiment, among the three identification symbol groups 10g, a state in which the identification symbols 10 selected from the two identification symbol groups 10g and pseudo-stopped are the same kind of symbols is set as the reach state. In addition, “reliability” refers to the probability that the success or failure judgment result of the object shown using the identification symbol 10 will be a big hit. That is, when a reach state by the identification symbol 10 of "7" which is the special symbol 10s (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a special reach) is constructed, a reach state by the identification symbol 10 other than that which is the normal symbol 10n ( Hereinafter, it is set so that the probability that the judgment result of the object will be a jackpot is higher than when the normal reach may be constructed. Therefore, when the reach state is established (when it is likely to be established), the player also pays attention to the type of the identification symbol 10 that constructs the reach state. When the special reach occurs, it may be set to determine that the target's success or failure judgment result is a big hit (reliability is 100%).

  Further, the normal symbol 10n in the present embodiment is divided into a first normal symbol 101n and a second normal symbol 102n. As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the first normal symbol 101 n is the identification symbol 10 of which the main part 11 is “3” “5”, and the second normal symbol 102 n is otherwise (the main portion 11 is “1 “2” “4” “6”)). The first normal symbol 101n is different from the second normal symbol 102n in that both of the normal symbols 10n are different in that a symbol change effect which will be described in detail is easily generated.

  The accompanying portion 12 of each of the normal symbols 10 n is an image including the characters A to F. Specifically, when the main part 11 is “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “character A”, “character” as the accompanying part 12 B "," character C "," character D "," character E ", and" character F "are set. On the other hand, the accompanying portion 12 of the special symbol 10s is an image including both the "character C" and the "character E". That is, the attached portion 12 of the special symbol 10s is a symbol including both the character C and the character E set as the attached portion 12 of the first normal symbol 101n. In other words, a plurality of first normal symbols 101n are set, and it can be said that the special symbol 10s is a symbol including all of the different types of characters included in the plurality of first normal symbols 101n. In addition, even if it is a character of the same kind, you may make it the thing from which a concrete aspect differs can be displayed. In other words, “the same type of character” is a meaning that allows a modification that allows the player to recognize that the player is showing the same type of character as well as the completely identical aspect. In this embodiment, the “character C” and the “character E” included in each of the two first normal symbols 101 n are different from the “character C” and the “character E” included in the special symbol 10 s in the specific aspect thereof. , It is made for the player to know that they are the same character. Further, "character C" and "character E" included in the special symbol are not in a state in which both are combined into one character, but are displayed so that both can be clearly distinguished. That is, it is displayed so that it can be clearly understood that a plurality of (two in the present embodiment) independent characters exist.

  Since it is constituted in this way, 10 s of special symbols are made into "the 1st pattern", and the accompanying part 12 of 10 s of special symbols is made into "the 1st partial element (which is a part of 1st pattern)" Is a "second symbol" and the accompanying part 12 of the first normal symbol 101n is "a second partial element (which is part of a second symbol)", the first portion being a portion of the first symbol The element is an aspect (an aspect including the character C and the character E) in which the second partial element which is a part of each of two or more second patterns which is another identification pattern is combined with the same kind Can. The first subelement may be combined with three or more second subelements.

  The symbol change effect and the turning effect using the identification symbol 10 configured as described above will be described. The symbol change effect (see FIG. 4) is an effect in which the normal symbol 10n selected from one identification symbol group 10g and pseudo-stopped is changed to the special symbol 10s. One identification symbol group 10g is basically the fastest among the plurality of (three in the present embodiment) identification symbol groups 10g, and it can be said that the fluctuation is pseudo-stopped. In other words, if it is assumed that the reach state will be constructed in the future, it is the identification symbol group 10g that includes the identification symbol 10 of the person who makes a pseudo stop earlier among the two identification symbols 10 that construct the reach state. It can be said. In this embodiment, it is a left identification symbol group 10g. However, with regard to the configuration in which the variation of the middle or right identification symbol group 10g is artificially stopped at the earliest, it is not denied that the symbol change effect is generated.

  The symbol change effect may occur when the identification symbol 10 which is selected from one identification symbol group 10g (the identification symbol group 10g on the left and is pseudo-stopped is the normal symbol 10n (see FIG. 4 (a)) There is. When the symbol change effect occurs, the one normal symbol 10n that has been pseudo-stopped changes to the special symbol 10s (see FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c)). The specific mode of the symbol change presentation itself may be any. Several types of specific modes may be set. In the present embodiment, after the image covering the normal symbol 10 n which has been pseudo-stopped is displayed (see FIG. 4B), it changes to the special symbol 10s (see FIG. 4C). In addition, there may be cases where a symbol change effect occurs but does not occur (the effect that a change to a special symbol 10s ends with a failure occurs), but a symbol change effect (generation of a symbol change effect) in this embodiment The term “special symbol 10s” refers to one that is actually successfully changed.

  When a change from the normal symbol 10 n to the special symbol 10 s occurs due to such a symbol change effect, in the present embodiment, a turning effect indicating that the special reach may occur is generated. When the player is expecting the special reach constructed by the special symbol 10s to be generated when the special symbol 10s is displayed, when a change from the normal symbol 10n to the special symbol 10s occurs, to the expectation In order to respond, it is set to always produce a sting effect indicating that a special reach may occur. However, it is the symbol change effect (one or a plurality of types of symbol change effects having a specific aspect) which causes the occurrence of the turning effect when the symbol change effect of the other aspect is generated. In this case, it may be configured that no stumbling effect occurs.

  The special effect 10s (see FIGS. 5 (a) and 6 (a)) is a special symbol 10s that is changed and indicated by the symbol change effect as one symbol, and the other symbol is a special symbol 10s for constructing the reach state. This is an effect that makes the player expect that it will be. In other words, it is an effect that suggests that the probability that a special reach will be built has increased. As long as such an action is exhibited, the specific aspect of the roaring effect may be any. As a matter of course, the flow from when one identification symbol group 10g is selected until one identification symbol 10 is pseudo-stopped is obviously different between the case where the bending effect occurs and the case where it is not so. In the turning effect in this embodiment, while the special symbol 10s in the identification symbol group 10g on the right is displayed, the fluctuation speed of the identification symbol group 10g on the right becomes low, and is selected from the identification symbol group 10g on the right It is the occurrence of "flickering" which is shown to the player that the identification symbol 10 to be pseudo-stopped is the special symbol 10s (see FIGS. 5 (a) and 6 (a)). As a result of the 演出 production, as a single identification symbol 10 selected from the identification symbol group 10g on the right, the special symbol 10s is artificially stopped to construct a special reach (see Fig. 5 (b)) A failure result (see FIG. 6B) in which the special reach is not established without the symbol 10s being falsely stopped (normally the symbol 10n being falsely stopped) is set. If a special reach is built after a successful blowout, the situation is higher in reliability than when the normal reach is built, that is, it is a situation for the player to have a chance, so the player is angry. I hope that the production will be a successful end. On the other hand, when there is a failure end, there is no possibility that three sets of the same identification symbol 10 will be aligned, so that it is determined that the result of the determination of the object's yes or no will be lost (see FIG. 6C). However, in the present embodiment, when the symbol change effect occurs, the identification symbol 10 selected from the identification symbol group 10g in the right and the identification symbol group 10g in the normal manner is pseudo-stopped (stopped) in the normal manner. It is not a sign that it is an out-of-line but a point that a stumbling effect is generated using the identification symbol group 10g on the right has a large meaning to the game property. When the special reach is established (when it results in success), a display (special display 20) indicating that the reach is different from the normal reach may be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, it is set that the special reach will not be constructed without passing through the turning effect. In other words, the generation of the beat effect is set as an essential condition under which the special reach which is a preferable situation for the player is constructed. In this way, since the value of the scout effect for the player is enhanced, it is possible to increase the degree of attention of the player to the scribbling effect and the symbol change effect causing the occurrence of the brow effect. However, the special reach may be constructed without the occurrence of the turning effect. It is also possible to set that the probability that the special reach is constructed remains high in the case where the staging effect occurs, as compared to the case where the staging effect does not occur.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a symbol change effect occurs in which the normal symbol 10n selected from one identification symbol group 10g and pseudo-stopped changes to the special symbol 10s, the special reach is performed thereafter. It is set to generate a whistling effect indicating that it may be built. The special reach is set to be higher in reliability than the normal reach, so the special symbol 10s can be said to be an advantageous pattern for the player compared to the normal symbol 10n, and the symbol change to such special symbol 10s In spite of the occurrence of the rendition, in particular, the notice of the result of judgment of the object's success or failure (notification of the recklessness) without the remarkable rendition of the rendition (without the reckless rendition being generated) It is possible to suppress the decline.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol 10s may be pseudo-stopped by being selected from one identification symbol group 10g (the left identification symbol group 10g) without occurrence of symbol change effects (see FIG. 7A). . In this case, there may be a case in which a turning effect does not occur (see FIGS. 7 (b) and 7 (c)). That is, when special symbol 10s is pseudo-stopped after the symbol change effect, although generation of the subsequent turning effect is decided, when special symbol 10s is pseudo-stopped without passing through the symbol change effect, the subsequent turn It is set so that the occurrence of the effect is not decided.

  As described above, when the special symbol 10s is falsely stopped without passing through the symbol change effect, the player may not pay attention to the fact that the special symbol 10s is falsely stopped so much, so there is a case where the beat effect is not generated. May be In addition, when the special symbol 10s is pseudo-stopped, it is possible to prevent the monotonization of the game due to the turning effect being generated.

  In the present embodiment, the second normal symbol 102n is the second normal symbol 102n when the identification symbol 10 selected from one identification symbol group 10g (the left identification symbol group 10g) and pseudo-stopped is the first normal symbol 101n. It is set so that the probability that the symbol change rendition will occur will be higher than in some cases. The first symbol change effect that changes from the first normal symbol 101n (second symbol) to the special symbol 10s (first symbol) is the first symbol change effect, and the second normal symbol 102n (third symbol) is the special symbol 10s (first symbol) If the symbol change effect changing to symbol) is the second symbol change effect, the probability that the first symbol change effect occurs is set higher than the probability that the second symbol change effect occurs. As described above, since the occurrence of the symbol change effect leads to the occurrence of the turning effect, the first normal symbol 101n having a relatively high probability of the occurrence of the symbol change effect is better than the second normal symbol 102n Can also be said to be an advantageous pattern for the player.

  And in this embodiment, it is suggested by the pattern aspect that the first normal symbol 101n is the identification symbol 10 in which the symbol change effect is more likely to occur than the second normal symbol 102n. As described above, the identification symbols 10 of the main portions 11 “3” and “5” set as the first normal symbol 101 n have the accompanying portions 12 of the character C and the character E, respectively. And identification symbol 10 of main part 11 "7" which is special symbol 10s has accompanying part 12 which contains both character C and character E (refer to Drawing 3). That is, the first normal symbol 101 n and the special symbol 10 s are common in that they include the same kind of characters. As a result, it is suggested to the player that the first normal symbol 101n is an identification symbol 10 having a strong bond with the special symbol 10s (compared to the second normal symbol 102n). If it is a well-understood player, it is possible to grasp that the said connection is the easiness of occurrence of the symbol change effect that a change to the special symbol 10s occurs by playing the game continuously. Become.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of first normal symbols 101n are set (see FIG. 3). In this way, it is possible to give an impression that the frequency of the opportunity to be the chance of the occurrence of the symbol change effect is reasonable. Then, in order to show the relationship between each of the plurality of first normal symbols 101n and the special symbol 10s, it is assumed that the accompanying portion 12 of the special symbol 10s includes a plurality of characters, each of the plurality of characters is It is assumed that the accompanying portion 12 of the normal symbol 101 n is included. By doing this, it can be suggested without a sense of discomfort that one symbol (special symbol 10s) and a plurality of symbols (first normal symbol 101n) have some kind of relationship.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment is improved, modified, embodied, etc. will be described. Note that a plurality of items described using the following specific examples may be applied.

○ First Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been described that the second normal symbol 102n is set more easily to generate symbol change effects than the first normal symbol 101n, but only the first normal symbol 101n is set. The symbol change effect may be set to occur. That is, when the second normal symbol 102n is pseudo-stopped, the symbol may not be changed to the special symbol 10s. (The second symbol change effect described above may not be generated. ). In this way, only the first normal symbol 101n including the same character as the special symbol 10s can be changed to the special symbol 10s, so that the game property relating to the symbol change effect can be easily understood.

Second Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been described that the occurrence of the turning effect is determined when the symbol change effect is generated, but the setting may be limited to the increase of the probability that the turning effect is generated. . That is, the probability that the turning effect is generated is higher when the special symbol 10s is displayed when the special symbol change effect is generated and the special symbol 10s is displayed without the special symbol change effect. The configuration is set to. Even in this case, when the symbol change effect occurs, the frequency of occurrence of the beat effect increases (compared to the case where it does not occur), so it can be said that the decline in the game's preference can be suppressed. .

Third Specific Example In the above embodiment, it is described that the occurrence of the turning effect is determined when the symbol change effect is generated. Moreover, in the said 2nd example, when symbol change production | generation generate | occur | produced, it demonstrated that the possibility that turning production | presentation generate | occur | produces would increase. Although these specify the relationship between the occurrence of symbol change effect and the turning effect, the relationship may not be such a relationship, but the relationship between the occurrence of symbol change effect and the special reach may be specified. For example, the probability that special reach is constructed is more likely to occur when the special symbol 10s is falsely stopped without the occurrence of the symbol change effect when the special symbol 10s is falsely stopped due to the occurrence of the symbol change effect. Set high. In the case where the special symbol 10 s is pseudo-stopped due to the occurrence of the symbol change effect, the setting may be made to determine that the special reach is to be constructed. In the above embodiment and the second specific example as well, the probability that the special reach will be constructed is enhanced compared to the case where it does not occur in the case where it does not occur. It can be said that the occurrence of the symbol change rendition substantially indicates that the probability that a special reach will be built has increased.

Fourth Specific Example The aspect of each identification symbol 10 described in the above embodiment may be configured to be displayed only in a specific mode. That is, a plurality of types of modes in which basic modes of notification effects for reporting the determination result of success or absence are different are set, and in any of the plurality of types of modes, the identification symbol 10 of the above mode is displayed You may And only when the said specific mode is set, it is good also as composition which the above-mentioned design change production and a turning production may occur.

○ The fifth example When a symbol change effect occurs that causes a change from the first normal symbol 101n to the special symbol 10s, the character of the special symbol 10s (the accompanying portion 12) is the character of the first general symbol before the change The configuration changes to one including only the part 12). For example, when a symbol change effect occurs in which the main part 11 is "3" and the attached part 12 is the first normal symbol 101n of the "character C" to a special symbol 10s, the special symbol 10s after change is the main part 11 Although it does not change by "7", it is assumed that the accompanying part 12 includes only the "character C" (see FIG. 8). That is, for the special symbol 10s, the symbol including the "character C" and the "character E" before the change becomes the symbol including only the "character C" due to the generation of the symbol change effect (FIG. 8 (c See the above). By doing this, it becomes possible to grasp which one of the plurality of first normal symbols 101n has changed to the special symbol 10s even after the change.

○ Sixth example (example where the fifth example is further developed)
The special symbol 10s (which is included in the identification symbol group 10g on the right if it conforms to the above embodiment) is indicated that the situation is likely to be stopped by the turning effect when a symbol change effect such as the fifth specific example occurs. The special symbol 10s is the same as the special symbol 10s that has already been pseudo-stopped (in the above embodiment, the special symbol 10s that is pseudo-stopped to the left). For example, if the accompanying portion 12 of the special symbol 10s which has already been pseudo-stopped has been changed to one including the "character C", the special symbol 10s displayed as the target of the turning effect is also "character C" and "character It is changed not to include both of the character E ", but to include only the" character C "(see FIG. 9). In this way, when the special reach is constructed, the aspect of the design for constructing the reach is the same, and it is possible to show that the reach has been constructed in an easy-to-understand manner.

  When the special reach is constructed, the aspect (the aspect including only one character) of the special symbol 10s constructing the reach may be maintained as it is, or it may return to the original on the way (character C and character It may be configured to return to the default mode including E). If the special reach is not established (if it is lost), it is preferable that the aspect of the special symbol 10s be immediately restored in preparation for the next fluctuation.

○ Seventh example (an example in which the fifth example is further developed (example different from the sixth example))
As in the above embodiment, in the configuration in which the accompanying portion 12 of the special symbol 10s includes two characters, if a symbol change effect such as the fifth example occurs, the situation is likely to be halted by turning effect. 10s (special symbol 10s included in the identification symbol group 10g on the right according to the above embodiment) is displayed on the left if the special symbol 10s (according to the above embodiment) has already been pseudo-stopped It is set as an aspect different from the special symbol 10s which has stopped pseudo. For example, if the accompanying portion 12 of the special symbol 10s that has already been pseudo-stopped has been changed to one that includes the "character C", only the "character E" is displayed as the special symbol 10s displayed as the target of the turning effect. Change to include (see FIG. 10). That is, since the special symbol 10s (the default pattern of the special symbol 10s) originally included two symbols of "character C" and "character E", the character of one symbol that constructs a special reach It can be said that there is no sense of incongruity even if the other symbol character is different between "character C" and "character E".

  When a special reach is constructed, the configuration of the two special symbols 10s that construct the reach (a different embodiment between the character C and the character E) may be maintained as it is, or it may return to the middle along the way It may be configured to return to the default mode including the character C and the character E). In the latter case, the character C included in one of the special symbols 10s and the character E included in the other special symbol 10s are displayed (such as moved or copied) out of the respective symbols. Both special symbols 10s are character C and character E on the image displayed (see FIG. 11 (b)) after it has been done (see FIG. 11 (a)) It is conceivable to create a flow effect as shown in FIG. 11 (c) back to the aspect including both of them. If the special reach is not established (if it is lost), it is preferable that the aspect of the special symbol 10s be immediately restored in preparation for the next fluctuation.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited at all to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
