  A mode for carrying out a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment.

  First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1 which is an example of a gaming machine will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 viewed from the front. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the circuit configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the following description, the front side of FIG. 1 will be described as the front (front, front) side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the back side as the rear (back) side. The front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment is an opposing surface that faces the player when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the player side. In the description of each step of the flowchart in the present embodiment, for example, a portion described as “step S1” may be abbreviated as “S1”.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment, showing the layout of the main members. Pachinko gaming machines 1 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as gaming machines) are roughly classified into a gaming board 2 (gauge board) which constitutes a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame 3 (a underframe) for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2 And consists of. In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails is formed. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is shot and shot from a predetermined ball striking device.

  A first special symbol display 4A and a second special symbol display 4B are provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). The first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are each composed of, for example, 7 segments or LEDs (light emitting diodes) of dot matrix, etc. Special symbols (also referred to as “special figures”) that are plural types of possible identification information (special identification information) are variably displayed (also referred to as variable display or variable display). For example, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B respectively change and display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. Do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" or symbols indicating "-", etc. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols, in which combinations of what are turned on and turned off in the 7-segment LED are different.

  A plurality of special symbols are given symbol numbers corresponding to them. As an example, symbol numbers “0” to “9” are attached to the numbers indicating “0” to “9”, and symbol numbers “10” are attached to the symbols indicating “−”. Just do it. In the following, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display 4A is also referred to as "the first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display 4B is also referred to as the "second special view" . In addition, although the form which makes each of a special symbol a plurality of kinds of identification information which can identify each of a character, a symbol, etc. is illustrated in this example, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, The pattern may be a combination of a plurality of dot displays which is difficult to distinguish or not distinguishable without a certain rule.

  The first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are both formed, for example, in a square shape. Note that the type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same (for example, numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-"), or the type is It may be different. Further, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B may be configured to variably display, for example, numbers (or two-digit symbols) indicating "00" to "99". .

  Near the center of the game area on the game board 2, an effect display device 5 is provided. The effect display device 5 is configured of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, corresponding to the fluctuation display of the first special drawing by the first special symbol display 4A in the special drawing game and the fluctuation display of the second special drawing by the second special symbol display 4B. For example, in the effect pattern display area serving as a plurality of variable display units such as three, effect patterns which are plural types of identification information (decorative identification information) capable of identifying each are variably displayed. The variable display of this effect pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the effect display device 5, effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. Then, in response to any one of the variation of the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A and the variation of the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B being started in the special figure game, In each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, fluctuation (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction) of the effect symbols (also referred to as a decorative symbol) is started. After that, when the finalized special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display result in the special view game, in each of the “left”, “middle” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the effect display device 5 The finalized design symbol (final stop symbol) which is the result of the variable display of the effect symbol is stopped and displayed.

  Thus, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display 4A or the special drawing using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display 4B In synchronization with the figure game, the variable display of a plurality of types of effect symbols that can be identified respectively is performed, and the determined effect symbols that are the result of the variable display are derived and displayed (or simply referred to as "derivation"). In addition, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols means to stop identification information such as effect symbols etc (also referred to as complete stop indication or final stop indication) and to end variable display. . On the other hand, during the fluctuation display until the finalized design pattern is derived and displayed after the fluctuation display of the production pattern is started until the finalized design pattern that is the fluctuation display result is derived and displayed, the fluctuation speed of the production pattern becomes "0". For example, the symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion and contraction. Such a display state is also referred to as a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed definitively, it is possible for the player to recognize that the fluctuation of the effect pattern by the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include, for example, complete stop display of the effect pattern only for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion or contraction.

  For example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or “han” or “han” are displayed on the effect symbols that are variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The character image may be, for example, a person, an animal, an object other than these, or a combination of a number, English letters, eight character images relating to a predetermined motif, a number or a character or a combination of a symbol and a character image. , A symbol such as a character, or any other decorative image representing an arbitrary figure). Corresponding symbol numbers are attached to each of the rendering symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are attached to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. In addition, the production design is not limited to eight types, but it may be any number as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations such as a combination of "big hit" and a combination of "off" (for example, seven types or 9 types etc).

  After the fluctuation display of the production design is started, until the fixed production design that is the fluctuation display result is derived and displayed, each of the production design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R for "left", "middle" and "right" For example, when the scroll display is performed such that the symbol numbers flow sequentially from the top to the bottom from the one with the highest symbol number to the next, and the effect symbol with the maximum symbol number (for example, "8") is displayed, The effect symbol with the smallest symbol number (for example, "1") is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, the effect symbol display area 5L of "left", etc.), scroll display is performed from the one with the large symbol number to the one with the small symbol, When the effect pattern having the smallest number is displayed, subsequently, the effect pattern having the largest symbol number may be displayed.

  A first hold storage display area 5D and a second hold storage display area 5U are set in two places on the left and right of the lower part of the display area of the effect display device 5. In the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U, a hold storage display is performed to display the number of hold storages for the variable display corresponding to the special view game (the number of special view hold storages) in an identifiable manner.

  Here, the game ball passes the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, with the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special view game. It occurs based on the start-up winning by (entering). That is, although a start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing a variable display game such as a special view game or a variable display of a production symbol is satisfied, a variable display game based on the start condition established earlier is being executed. If the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, etc., suspension of the variable display corresponding to the satisfied start condition is To be done. In this embodiment, the holding memory display generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening is displayed as a round white display, and the game ball passes the second starting winning opening ( Similarly, the holding storage display generated based on the start-up winning due to the entry is made a round white display.

  In the following description, the first pending storage display area 5D and the second pending storage display area 5U may be referred to as a pending display area, and the number of pending storages is the first pending storage display area 5D and the second pending storage display It can be recognized by the number of pending storage displays displayed in the area 5U. Furthermore, a display in which the pending storage display is collected may be referred to as a pending display.

  The hold display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U is generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first start winning opening, or the second The display mode (for example, the display color or the shape) may be made different depending on whether the game ball is generated based on the start winning prize by passing (entering) the start winning hole. In the present embodiment, “execution” and “execution” are synonymous.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first holding for specifying the number of special view holding memories in the upper and lower portions of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B together with the holding storage display area A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. The first special view reservation storage number is the number of storages for which the execution of the special view game using the first special view is suspended. The second special view reservation storage count is the number of storages for which the execution of the special view game using the second special view is suspended. The number of pending storages of the variable display obtained by adding the number of the first special view pending storage and the number of the second special view pending storage is particularly referred to as the total pending storage number. The term "number of Tokushu reserve storages" simply refers to a concept that includes all of the number of first to reserve special storages, the number of second to reserve special storages, and the total number of pending storages, but in particular It may refer to a concept including the number of first special view pending storages and the number of second special view pending storages, but excluding the total number of pending storages.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, the variation display of the production symbol is executed in synchronization with the variation display of the special symbol, but in the case of performing the rendering using the presentation display device 5 in this way, for example, In recent years, the effect has been diversified, such as effects such as effects such as effect contents including variable display disappearing from the screen for a moment, effects such as movable objects blocking all or part of the screen being performed, etc. ing. Therefore, even when looking at the display area on the effect display device 5, there are cases where it is difficult to recognize whether or not it is currently in the state of fluctuating display. Therefore, for the purpose of eliminating the difficulty in recognizing whether or not the current variable display state is currently present, the fourth display next to the effect design, the special symbol and the normal symbol is displayed on the effect display device 5 4 symbol display area may be provided. These 4th symbols are displayed synchronously with the 1st special symbol variation display, while the 4th symbol variation display for the 1st special symbol is performed, and for 2nd special symbols in synchronization with the 2nd special symbol variation display It is sufficient if the variable display of the fourth symbol is performed. In addition, since the 4th design is always changed and displayed in a fixed operation and is not erased from the screen or shielded by a shield, it can always be viewed.

  Under the effect display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The regular winning ball device 6A, for example, forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. The normally variable winning ball device 6B is an electric motor having a pair of movable winglets that changes between a normally open state in a vertical position and an enlarged open state in a tilting position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric symbol shown in FIG. A tulip type character (usually an electric character) is provided to form a second start winning opening as a start area (second start area).

  As an example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second starting winning opening by the movable wing piece being in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the normal motorized combination is off. It will be in the normally open state which is unfortunate. On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by tilting control in which the movable wing piece is in the tilting position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric combination is on. It becomes an expansion and release state which is easy to enter. In addition, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normal opening state, the game ball may enter more than when it is in the enlarged opening state. It may be configured to be low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball device 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening by, for example, closing the second starting winning opening in the normally open state. As described above, the second start winning opening as the second start area is the enlarged open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters), and the normal open state in which the game ball does not easily pass (enter) or can not pass (enter) Change to

  The game ball which has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, a first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, a second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the first starting opening switch 22A, and the first special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit (for example, " If it is less than 4 "), the first start condition is satisfied. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the second start opening switch 22B, and the second special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit (for example, " If it is less than 4 "), the second start condition is satisfied. The number of winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first starting opening switch 22A, and the number of the winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the second starting opening switch 22B. The numbers may be the same or different from each other.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning prize ball device 7 includes a special winning opening door which is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 serving as a special winning opening door shown in FIG. 2 and a specific area which changes to an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. To form a winning opening as.

  As an example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is off, the big winning mouth door closes the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball passes the big winning mouth (enter) I can not do it. On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the on state, the big winning mouth door opens the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball passes the big winning mouth (enter ) To make it easier. In this manner, the special winning opening as a specific area changes into an open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters), which is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball can not pass (enter). Do. In place of the closed state where the game ball can not pass (enter) the big winning opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball does not easily pass (enter) the big prize opening may be provided.

  The game ball which has passed (entered) the special winning opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the game balls by the count switch 23. Thus, when the game ball passes (enters) the special winning opening that is in the open state in the special variable winning winning ball device 7, the gaming ball is in the other winning opening such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening. More balls will be paid out than when passing (entering). Therefore, if the special winning prize opening is opened in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, the gaming ball can enter into the special winning prize opening, which is an advantageous first state for the player. On the other hand, if the special winning hole is closed in the special variable winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult to get the winning ball by passing the game ball to the big winning hole, which is difficult for the player. It is a disadvantageous second state.

The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte indicates MODE (classification of command) and the second byte indicates EXT (type of command). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is "0". The command form shown in FIG. 3A is an example, and another command form may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is configured by two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one, or may be three or more.

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

  The command 8CXXH is a variable display result specification command, and is an effect control command for specifying a variable display result such as a special symbol or a effect pattern. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), in the variable display result specification command, the determination result (predetermined result) of whether the variable display result is “off” or “big hit” or the change display result is “big hit” Different EXT data are set according to the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of the plural types the big hit type in the case of “1” is to be set.

  In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the command 8C00H is a first variable display result specification command indicating a result of a prior determination that the variable display result is "off". The command 8C01H is a second variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probably big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probable big hit B", and the big hit type determination result.

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

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

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

  The command C1XXH is a first pending storage count notification command for notifying the first special view storage limit in order to display the special view storage limit in an identifiable manner in the first storage limit display area 5D or the like. The command C2XXH is a second pending storage number notification command for notifying the second special view pending storage number in order to display the special view pending storage number in an identifiable manner in the second pending storage display area 5U or the like. For example, when the first start opening winning combination designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition is satisfied, the first hold storage number notification command is transmitted. , And is transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12. The second reserved memory number notification command is transmitted when, for example, the second starting opening winning combination designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied. , And is transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12. In the first reserve memory number notification command and the second reserve memory number notification command, when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the number of reserve memory decreases), It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like.

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

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

It comprises the random number circuit 104 to perform and the I / O 105 (Input / Output port 105).

  As an example, in the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes a program read from the ROM 101 to execute a process for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. At this time, a fixed data read operation in which the CPU 103 reads fixed data from the ROM 101, a variable data write operation in which the CPU 103 writes various fluctuation data to the RAM 102 and temporarily stores it, and various fluctuation data temporarily stored in the RAM 102 by the CPU 103 Data reading operation to read out the data, reception operation in which the CPU 103 receives input of various signals from the outside of the gaming control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105, to the outside of the gaming control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105 Also, a transmission operation for outputting various signals is performed.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view exemplifying a random number value counted on the main substrate 11 side. As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, on the side of the main substrate 11, a random number value MR1 for special display result determination, a random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, a random value MR3 for variation pattern determination, Numerical data representing each of the random value MR4 for display result determination is controlled to be able to be counted. Note that other random values may be used to enhance the gaming effect. The random numbers used to control the progress of such a game are also referred to as gaming random numbers.

  The random number circuit 104 only needs to count numerical data indicating a part or all of the random values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 updates the various numerical value data by software using a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 shown in FIG. Numerical data indicating a part of the MR 4 may be counted.

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

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

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

  FIG. 5 shows a variation pattern in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, among the cases in which the variation display result is “off”, the variation display is also corresponding to each of the case where the variation display mode of the rendering symbol is “non reach” and the case where the variation display mode is “reach”. A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance, corresponding to the case where the result is a "big hit". In addition, the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display result is "off" and the fluctuation display mode of the rendering pattern is "non-reach" is called non-reach fluctuation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern"), The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the rendering pattern is "reach" is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach variation pattern"). In addition, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the outlier fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display result is “off”. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is "big hit" is referred to as a big hit variation pattern.

  The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of normal reach is executed, and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. In the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach α, normal reach β,... You may provide the normal reach fluctuation pattern of. In addition to the super reach fluctuation pattern, three or more super reach fluctuation patterns such as super reach γ may be provided in addition to the super reach α and the super reach β.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in this embodiment is executed is set shorter than the super reach fluctuation patterns super reach α and super reach β. . In addition, regarding the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach such as the super reach α and the super reach β in the present embodiment is executed, the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach β is executed However, the special figure fluctuation time is set to be longer than the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach α is executed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, since the fluctuation display result is “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the big hit expectation is set to be high. In the reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the jackpot expectation.

  In this embodiment, as described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined in advance, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, etc. Therefore, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, it is determined using only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination without determining these types. Although the present invention is not limited to this, for example, in addition to the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, random number values for variation pattern type determination are provided, and these variation pattern types are determined. A fluctuation pattern to be executed from a fluctuation pattern belonging to a fluctuation pattern belonging to the determined type since the kind of fluctuation pattern is first determined from a random value It is also possible to determine the emissions.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 of the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 stores various selection data, table data, etc. used to control the progress of the game. . For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables and setting tables prepared in advance for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings. Also, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of types of table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 103 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the main board 11 and a plurality of fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. Table data etc. which constitute a fluctuation pattern table are stored.

  FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In this embodiment, the display result determination table common to the first and second special views is used as the display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. And the second special view may use individual display result determination tables.

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

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

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

  FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the big hit type determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the big hit classification determination table of this embodiment, when it is determined that the special view display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit", the big hit classification may be any of plural types based on the random number MR2 for big hit classification determination. Is a table that is referenced to determine the In the big hit classification determination table, the special symbol on which the variation display (variation) is performed in the special figure game is the first special figure (the special figure game by the first special symbol display 4A) or the second special figure (the second special figure The numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type judgment according to whether it is a special figure game by the symbol display 4B is “non-probability change”, “probability change big hit A”, “probable change big hit B It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpot types such as.

  Here, the big hit type in the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 7B. In the present embodiment, high probability control and time saving control are executed after the end of the big hit gaming state as the big hit type. There are set a definite variation big hit A or a definite variation big hit B to shift to the high definite base state, and a non-probable variation big hit to execute only the time reduction control to shift to the low certainty high base status after the big hit gaming state ends.

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

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

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

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

  In the setting example of the jackpot classification determination table shown in FIG. 7A, the allocation of the judgment value to the jackpot classification of “non-probability change” is whether the fluctuation special drawing is the first special drawing or the second special drawing Therefore, the probability of becoming a non-probability big hit and the probability of becoming a big hit are the same regardless of whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. ing.

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

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

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

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

  In the fluctuation pattern determination table for the big hit, each fluctuation pattern of normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern (PB1-1), super reach α big fluctuation fluctuation pattern (PB1-2), super reach β big fluctuation fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) On the other hand, a predetermined random number value is assigned as a judgment value within the range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment. In the present embodiment, when the type of the big hit is “probability big hit A” or “probable big hit B”, the super reach β is easily determined, and the type of big hit is “non-probable big hit”. In this case, the super reach α is assigned so that it is easy to be determined, and when the variation pattern of the super reach β is executed, it does not become “positively variable big hit A” or “positively variable big hit B” This can increase the player's sense of expectation.

  In addition, in the variation pattern determination table for loss, it is used when the variation pattern determination table A for loss is used when the number of pending storages is 1 or less and when the total number of pending storages is 2 to 4. If the variation pattern determination table B for loss, the variation pattern determination table C for loss used when the total number of pending storages is 5 to 8, and the gaming state is a high base state in which time saving control is performed And the outlier fluctuation pattern determination table D used in advance.

  In the outlier fluctuation pattern determination table A, the non-reach outlier fluctuation pattern without shortening (PA1-1), the normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern (PA2-1), the super reach α deviation fluctuation pattern (PA2-2), the super reach With respect to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) of the reach β deviation, a predetermined random value is allocated as a judgment value within the range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment. Further, in the fluctuation pattern determination table B for loss, a shortening non-reach loss fluctuation pattern (PA1-2) corresponding to a total of 2 to 4 pending storages, a fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss (PA2-1), and a super A predetermined random value is assigned as a judgment value within the range that the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment can take on the fluctuation pattern of reach α (PA2-2) and the fluctuation pattern of super reach β (PA2-3). It is done. Also, in the fluctuation pattern determination table C for loss, the shortening non-reach loss fluctuation pattern (PA1-3) corresponding to the total reserved memory number of 5 to 8, the fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss (PA2-1), super A predetermined random value is assigned as a judgment value within the range that the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment can take on the fluctuation pattern of reach α (PA2-2) and the fluctuation pattern of super reach β (PA2-3). It is done. Moreover, in the fluctuation pattern determination table D for loss, the fluctuation pattern (PA 1-4) of shortening, non-reach loss, corresponding fluctuation pattern (PA 2-1) of normal reach, fluctuation pattern of super reach α deviation during time-saving control (PA2-2) The super reach β is assigned a predetermined random number value as a determination value within the range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination with respect to the variation pattern (PA2-3) of deviation.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the variation time of the non-reach-out variation pattern (PA1-2) is shorter than the non-reach-out variation pattern (PA1-1) without shortening, and the variation pattern (PA1) is further reduced. The fluctuation time is shorter in the non-reach-out fluctuation pattern (PA1-3) than in -2). Therefore, when the number of pending storages increases, the non-reach out of bounds variation pattern is determined so that the variation time is short, so that the pending storage is easily digested and the number of pending storages reaches the upper limit number of 4 In addition to making a start-up winning when not being held, it becomes difficult to generate a useless start-up that is not made pending storage, and when the number of pending storages is reduced, the fluctuation time is not long and the non-reach is not shifted By determining the pattern (PA1-1), it becomes possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the fluctuation display not being executed by lengthening the time of the fluctuation display.

Do.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the variation display of the normal symbol is executed by the normal symbol display 20 such that the game ball passing through the passing gate 41 provided in the game area is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. For example, based on the fact that the normal drawing start condition for starting the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is satisfied, for example, that the previous normal drawing game has ended, after the normal drawing start condition for the normal drawing is satisfied, the normal symbol display 20 The popular figure game by is started.

  In this common-play game, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when a predetermined time as the common-pattern fluctuation time elapses, the determined normal symbol as the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (a symbol per common figure) such as a number indicating "7" is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variation display result of the normal symbol becomes "per common figure". On the other hand, if an ordinary symbol other than the symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, a number or symbol other than the number indicating "7" as the determined normal symbol, the variation display result of the ordinary symbol is "generally out of alignment". Become. In response to the variation display result of the normal symbol being "per common figure", the enlargement and release control (tilting control) in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip forming the variable winning prize ball device 6B is tilted is performed The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  For example, after the first starting condition is satisfied, for example, by detecting the gaming ball passing through (entering) the first starting winning opening formed in the regular winning ball device 6A by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. A special drawing game by the first special symbol display 4A is started based on the establishment of the first start condition due to the previous special drawing game or the end of the big hit gaming state. In addition, the second starting condition is established because the game ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, by the end of the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special figure game by the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, after starting the variation display of the special symbol, when the variation display time as the special figure variation time elapses, the variation display of the special symbol The finalized special symbol (special drawing display result) to be the result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes "big hit" as a specific display result, and a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol. It becomes "off". In addition, a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol may be stopped and displayed, and when a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) as a result of the predetermined display is stopped and displayed. The small hit game state may be controlled as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit", it is controlled to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as a "round game") is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as an example, special symbols indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” are used as a big hit symbol, and special symbols indicating the symbol “-” are removed from the symbol. In addition, each symbol such as a big hit symbol or an outset symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol indicator 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol indicator 4B. Also, the special symbol common to both of the special figure games may be a big hit symbol or an off symbol.

  After the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol in the special figure game and becomes a "big hit" as a specific display result, in the big hit gaming state, the big winning opening door of the special variable winning ball device 7, predetermined upper limit time The big winning opening is opened in a period until (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of winning balls are generated. As a result, a round is performed in which the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is put into the first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player.

  The special winning opening door with the big winning opening opened during execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then the special winning opening is closed, thereby the special variable winning winning ball device 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16” or the like). In addition, even before the number of times of execution of the round reaches the upper limit number of times, execution of the round may be ended by establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, the game ball did not win a prize winning opening etc.) .

  Among the rounds in the jackpot gaming state, the round in which the upper limit time for making the special variable winning prize ball device 7 the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is relatively long (for example, 29 seconds) is normally open It is also called a round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time for making the special variable winning prize ball device 7 in the first state (open state) is a relatively short time (for example, 0.1 second) is also referred to as a short-term open round.

  Of the special symbols showing the numbers of "3", "5" and "7" that become the big hit symbols, the special symbols showing the number of "7" become the big hit symbols corresponding to the probability variation big hit A described later, and "5" The special symbol indicating a number is the jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation big hit B described later. In the big hit gaming state (normally open big hit state) controlled after the big hit symbol of "3" or "7" is derived as the final special symbol in the special figure game, the big winning opening door of the special variable winning winning ball device 7 The special variable winning is achieved by opening the big winning opening in a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of winning balls are generated. The round of changing the ball device 7 to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed a first number of times (for example, 16 times). In addition, the normally open jackpot state is also referred to as a first specified gaming state.

  In addition, among the special symbols showing the numbers of "3", "5" and "7" that become the big hit symbols, the special symbols showing the number of "3" become the big hit symbols corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit described later, and special variable The special winning opening door of the winning ball device 7 has a large winning opening in a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of winning balls are generated. By changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player by opening the state, the same round as the probability variation big hit A is repeated the first number of times (for example, 16 times) .

  Among the special symbols showing the numbers of "3", "5" and "7" that will be the big hit symbols as a finalized special symbol in the special figure game, it is controlled after the special symbol showing the number of "5" is derived In the jackpot gaming state (short-term opening jackpot state), the upper limit time to change the special variable winning prize ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player in each round (during the period when the big winning opening is opened by the big winning opening door) The upper limit is the same as the predetermined period in the normally open big hit state, but the round for changing the special variable winning prize ball device 7 to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is the first number of times in the normally open big hit state For example, it is repeatedly executed a second number of times (e.g., 5 times) less than 16 times). In addition, the short-term opening big hit state is also referred to as a second specific gaming state. In these short-term open big hit states, although the form which made the number of rounds 5 times which is the 2nd number is illustrated, the number of rounds is made the same as the 1st number (for example, 16 times) in a normal open big hit state. On the other hand, the upper limit time for changing the special variable winning prize ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player in each round after a predetermined number (for example 6) (upper limit of the period for making the big winning opening open by the big winning opening door) The number of rounds substantially may be made smaller than that of the normally open big hit state by setting the) as a second period (for example, 0.1 second) shorter than the first period in the normally open big hit state.

  In such a short-term open big hit state, since the number of rounds is smaller than that of the normal open big hit state, it is only necessary to be a big hit state where the expected value of the balls (prize balls) that can be obtained is smaller than that of the normal open big hit state. In addition, in these short-term opening big-hit states, it is not possible to substantially get out balls (prize balls) by setting the opening period of the big winning opening to the second period (0.1 second etc.) for all rounds. It is good also as a big hit game state. That is, in the big hit gaming state as the short opening round specified gaming state, the period for changing the big winning opening in each round to the first state where the gaming ball is easy to pass (enter) is from the first period in the normal opening round specified gaming state Also, it is normally open by at least one of the short second period and the fact that the number of round executions is the second round number less than the first round number in the special opening round specific gaming state. It is sufficient if there are fewer available balls (prize balls) than the jackpot state.

  In the "left", "middle" and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the effect display device 5, a special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A In response to the start of one of the special drawing games of the second special symbol display 4B and the special drawing game using the second special drawing, the variable display of the effect design is started. And the period from when fluctuation display of the production design is started until fluctuation display ends with the stop display of the fixed production design in each production design display area 5L, 5C and 5R of “left”, “middle”, “right” In such a case, the variable display state of the effect pattern may be in a predetermined reach state.

  Here, with the reach state, when the effect pattern stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the effect pattern is not displayed yet and stopped (“reach variation symbol” The display state in which the fluctuation continues, or the display state in which all or part of the effect pattern changes synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in "left", "middle", "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, "left" and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5R, etc.) in advance The remaining effect symbol display area (for example, "inside") which is not displayed as stopped when the effect symbols (for example, effect symbols indicating alphanumeric characters of "7") constituting the determined big hit combination are stopped and displayed In the symbol display area 5C, etc.) The display condition in which the effect pattern is fluctuating, or the effect pattern is a big hit in all or a part of the effect pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" It is a display state which fluctuates synchronously while constituting all or a part of the combination.

  In addition, in response to the reaching state, the variation speed of the production design is reduced, or a character image (production image imitating a person or the like) different from the production design is displayed in the display area of the production display device 5 Or, by changing the display mode of the background image, reproducing / displaying a moving image different from the effect pattern, or changing the change mode of the effect pattern, the effect operation different from before reaching the reach state is executed. May be Such a rendering operation such as display of character images, change in display mode of background image, reproduction display of moving images, and change in change mode of effect pattern is referred to as reach effect display (or simply reach effect display). In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the effect display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as the game effect LED 9, etc. An operation mode different from the operation mode may be included.

  As the effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. And each reach mode differs in the possibility of becoming a "big hit" (also referred to as "reliability" or "big hit reliability"). That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be the "big hit" can be differentiated depending on which of the plurality of reach effects is performed.

  As an example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, reach modes such as normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β are set in advance. And, when the reach mode of the super reach such as the super reach α and the super reach β appears, the fluctuation display result may become “big hit” compared to the case where the reach mode of the normal reach appears (big hit expectation) Becomes higher. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the reach mode of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β, when super reach β appears, the variable display result is “big hit” than when super reach α appears. The big hit expectation is high (big hit expectation: super reach β> super reach α> normal reach).

  In the present embodiment, as described later, in the reach, the fluctuation time is set so that super reach β> super reach α> normal reach (see FIG. 5), and as the fluctuation time becomes longer, the big hit Expectations are getting higher.

  Unlike the reach effect, the fluctuation display state of the production symbol may reach the reach state, and the fluctuation display result may become the "big hit", etc. A variable display effect such as “slip” or “pseudo series” may be executed to notify the player by the variable display mode of the effect pattern or the like. It may be determined whether or not to execute the “slip” and “pseudo-link” variation display effects in response to the variation pattern being determined on the main substrate 11 side. In addition, regardless of the variation pattern determined on the main substrate 11 side, whether or not to execute the variation display effect of “slip” may be determined on the side of the effect control substrate 12 or not.

  Unlike the variable display effects such as reach effects during the variable display of the effect pattern, for example, displaying a predetermined effect image, displaying an image or sound output as a message, lighting an LED, etc., of the effect pattern It is possible that the fluctuation display state of the production design may reach the reach state by the rendering operation different from the fluctuation display operation, that the reach effect by the super reach may be executed, and the fluctuation display result is "big hit" An advance notice effect may be executed to inform the player in advance that there is a possibility of becoming The production operation to be the notice production is the fluctuation display state of the production design after the fluctuation display of the production design is started in all of the production design display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of "left", "middle" and "right". It is sufficient if it is executed (started) before the reach state is reached (before the left and right rendering symbol display areas 5L and 5R display the rendering symbol temporarily). In addition, the notice effect that notifies that there is a possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" may include one that is executed after the variable display state of the rendering symbol is in the reach state.

  Among the advance notice effects, the one to be the hold display advance notice effect may be included. The pending display advance presentation effect is based on the change of the display mode such as the pending display of the special drawing game before the possibility of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" etc. starts the variable display to be the subject to be previewed. This is a suggested notice effect. In particular, the effect of continuously notifying the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" is continuously notified over a continuous notice effect (continuous Also referred to as production). In addition, while the special figure game is executed once, after temporarily displaying the effect pattern temporarily, the effect display is again performed a predetermined number of times to cause the effect pattern to change again (simulated continuous change, re-fluctuating), and artificially In a game machine that performs "pseudo-reed" variable display effects that appear as if multiple variable displays are being performed, the variable display result is "big hit" over the pseudo multiple variable displays. An advance notice effect for continuously giving notice of possibility and the like is also included in the continuous notice effect (continuous effect).

  When a special symbol to be the out symbol is displayed as a stop (derived) as a final special symbol in the special figure game, the variation display state of the representation symbol does not reach the reach state after the variation display of the representation symbol is started. In some cases, a fixed effect design that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display mode of the effect pattern is referred to as a "non-reach" (usually referred to as "normally off") variation display mode when the variation display result is "off".

  When a special symbol to be the out symbol is displayed as a stop (derived) as a final special symbol in the special figure game, after the variable display of the effect symbol is started, the variable display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state Depending on the situation, after the reach effect is performed or the reach effect is not performed, the predetermined effect pattern which is a combination of the predetermined reach may be stopped and displayed. Such a fluctuation display result of the effect pattern is referred to as a fluctuation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach failure”) when the fluctuation display result is “off”.

  If the big hit symbol indicating the number "3" is displayed as a special symbol in the special figure game as the special symbol to be the big hit symbol, the variation display state of the production symbol corresponds to the reach state. Then, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, a fixed effect pattern to be a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as "non-probable variation big hit combination") is displayed in a stopped state among a plurality of types of big hit combinations. The reach effect may not be executed, and the non-probable variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect pattern.

  The determined effect design that is usually a big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is variably displayed, for example, in each of the left, middle, and right effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the effect display device 5 Among the effect symbols of symbol numbers “1” to “8”, any one of the effect symbols whose symbol numbers are even “2”, “4”, “6” and “8” is “left” or “left” It may be any as long as it is aligned and displayed on a predetermined effective line in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "middle" and "right". The effect symbols having symbol numbers of "2", "4", "6" and "8" which usually constitute a big hit combination are usually referred to as normal symbols (also referred to as "non-probable variation symbols").

  In response to the determined special symbol in the special figure game becoming a big hit symbol normally, after a predetermined reach effect is executed, the fixed effect symbol of the big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is stopped and displayed. The variable display mode is referred to as a variable display mode (also referred to as “big hit type”) of “non-probable change” (also referred to as “usually big hit”) when the variable display result is “big hit”. In addition, you may stop-display the big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) normally as a fixed production pattern, without a reach production being performed. Based on the fact that the variable display result is "big hit" in the big hit type of "non-deterministic change", it is controlled to a normally open big hit state, and after that, time shortening control (time saving control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the variation display time (special figure variation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time saving control, as described later, so-called electric Chu support is implemented in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is increased. Here, the normal state is a normal gaming state different from a specific gaming state such as a big hit gaming state, etc., and an initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case where a system reset is performed) The same control as in the state where the initialization process is performed is performed. In the time-saving control, either of the special figure game being executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the end of the big hit gaming state and the variation display result being a "big hit", either condition is established first When it is done, you should finish.

  Among the special symbols that will be the big hit symbols as a final symbol in the special figure game, when the probability change big hit symbols such as the special symbols showing the number “7” are stopped and displayed, the variation display state of the effect symbols is in the reach state In response to becoming, after the same reach effect as when the variation display mode of the production design is "normal" execution is executed, among the big hit combination of plural types, the definite production design which becomes the certain probability variation big hit combination May be stopped. Note that the reach effect may not be executed, and the probability variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect pattern. For example, the fixed effect symbols that will be the probability variation big hit combination have symbol numbers “1” that are variably displayed in the “left”, “middle” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the effect display device 5, for example. Among the effect symbols of “8”, the effect symbols whose symbol number is “7” among the effect symbols are “left”, “middle”, and “right” predetermined effective lines in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. What is necessary is just the one displayed on top and stopped. A production symbol whose symbol number "7" constitutes a combination of a probability variation big hit is called a probability variation symbol. When a probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a determined special symbol in a special figure game, a fixed effect symbol that is usually a big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the created symbol.

  Among the special symbols that will be short-term opening round big hit symbols as special symbols determined in the special drawing game, when the probability variation big hit symbols such as the special symbols showing the number “5” are stopped and displayed, the variation display state of the production symbols is In response to reaching the reach state, after the same reach effect as when the variation display mode of the effect design is "normal" is executed, it becomes a certain probability variation big hit combination among multiple types of big hit combinations The fixed effect design may be stopped and displayed. Note that the reach effect may not be executed, and the probability variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect pattern. For example, the fixed effect symbols that will be the probability variation big hit combination have symbol numbers “1” that are variably displayed in the “left”, “middle” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the effect display device 5, for example. Among the effect symbols of "8", any one of the effect symbols whose symbol numbers are "1", "3" and "5" other than "7" are "left", "middle" and "right" What is necessary is just to be displayed on the predetermined effective line in each effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R, and to be stopped and displayed. The effect symbols having symbol numbers “1”, “3”, and “5” that constitute the probability variation big hit combination are referred to as probability variation symbols in the same manner as the effect symbols having “7” described above. It should be noted that, when a definite variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in a special figure game, a fixed effect symbol that is usually a big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the created symbol. Good.

  The variation display mode in which the probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the final special symbol in the special figure game is the variation display result is "big hit" regardless of whether the finalization design is usually a big hit combination or a positive variation big hit combination. It is referred to as a variation display mode (also referred to as a “big hit type”) of “certain change” in a case. In the present embodiment, among the jackpot types of "probability", based on the "big hit" in the variable display result of "7" as the determined special symbol, it is controlled to the normally open big hit state, and the end thereof Later, probability fluctuation control (probability change control) is performed together with time-saving control. On the other hand, it is controlled to the short-term open jackpot state based on the fact that it became "big hit" in the fluctuation display result of "5" as a confirmed special symbol among big hit types of "certain change", and after that end Stochastic change control (probability change control) is performed.

  The probability variation control result (special figure display result) becoming "big hit" in the special figure game of each time is improved to be higher than that in the normal state by performing these probability change control. The probability change control may be ended when the condition that the variation display result becomes “big hit” after the end of the big hit gaming state and the big hit gaming state is controlled again is satisfied. As with the time saving control, when the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times same as the time shortening or 90 times different from the time shortening) after the end of the big hit gaming state, the probability change control ends May be In addition, even if the probability change control is ended when it is determined that the probability change control is to be ended in the probability change fall lottery executed each time the special figure game is started after the end of the big hit gaming state, even if the probability change control is ended. Good.

  When time saving control is performed, control to make the variation time (general figure variation time) of the normal symbol in the regular drawing game by the regular symbol display 20 shorter than that in the normal state, or the variation of the normal symbol in each regular drawing game Control to improve the probability that the display result will be "per common view" than in the normal state, and tilt control of the movable wing in the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "per common view" The game ball is likely to pass through (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control to make the tilt control time to perform longer than in the normal state, and control to increase the number of tilts more than in the normal state. By increasing the possibility that the start condition is satisfied, control (power-chute support control) that is advantageous to the player is performed. As described above, the control that facilitates the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening with the time saving control and is advantageous for the player is also referred to as high open control. As high open control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed.

  By performing the high open control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening is in the wide open state is increased more than when the high open control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special drawing game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B is easily established, and the special drawing game can be executed frequently, so that The time until the variable display result is a "big hit" is shortened. The period during which the high release control can be performed is also referred to as a high release control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time saving control is performed.

  The gaming state in which both time saving control and high opening control are performed is also referred to as a time saving state or a high base state. Further, the gaming state in which the probability change control is performed is also referred to as a probability change state or a high probability state. The gaming state in which time-saving control or high opening control is performed along with the probability variation control is also referred to as high-probability high-base state. In the present embodiment, although the game state to be controlled is not set, the probability change state in which only the probability change control is performed and the time saving control or the high opening control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. In addition, only the gaming state in which time saving control and high open control are performed together with probability variation control may be referred to as a "probability state", and in order to distinguish it from the high probability low base status, it may be referred to as a time reduction probability variation state. On the other hand, in order to distinguish from the high probability high base state, the positive variation state (high probability low base state) in which only time variation control is performed and short time control or high open control is not performed may be referred to as time short non definite variable state. The short time state in which time saving control or high open control is performed without performing the probability change control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability change control nor the time saving control nor the high open control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. When at least one of time reduction control and probability change control is performed in a game state other than the normal state, the special figure game can be executed frequently, and the probability that the variation display result in the special figure game of each time will be a "big hit" Is enhanced for the player. A game state advantageous to a player different from the big hit game state is also referred to as a special game state.

  The re-lottery effect may be executed during the change display of the effect pattern in which the determined effect pattern is a non-probable variation big hit combination or a probability variation big hit combination. In the re-lottery effect, for example, after the temporary left-handed display of the effect design that is usually a big hit combination in the "left", "middle", and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the effect display device 5, for example "," "In the" right "effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R again in the state that the same effect pattern is aligned, and production symbol (probable variation symbol) and a big hit usually become a probability variation big hit combination One of the effect symbols (normal symbols) to be combined is displayed as a finalized effect symbol (stop display). Here, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the jackpot type is “non-probability change”, the effect pattern which is temporarily stopped and displayed is temporarily changed as the re-lottery effect. It is sufficient if the re-lottery defeat presentation effect is derived and displayed. On the other hand, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the big hit type is “certain change”, the re-variation effect pattern that is temporarily stopped is re-varied as the re-lottery effect. The re-lottery winning effect for stopping and displaying the symbol may be performed, or the re-lottery losing effect may be performed.

  After the fixed effect pattern that is usually a big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is derived and displayed, during the execution of the round at the start of the big hit gaming state or the big hit gaming state, any round ends in the big hit gaming state The period between the start of the next round and the period between the end of the last round in the jackpot gaming state and the start of the next variable display game, etc. A big hit during the jackpot promotion effect to be a notification effect may be executed. Note that the same notification effect as the jackpot promotion promotion may be executed during the first variable display game after the end of the jackpot gaming state or the like. The jackpot promotion promotion that is executed after the final round in the jackpot gaming state may be referred to in particular as "ending promotion promotion".

  In the jackpot promotion promotion, there is no jackpot promotion promotion production that announces that there is a promotion in which the gaming state becomes a definite change state despite the confirmed production symbol being usually a big hit combination, and that there is no promotion in a definite change state There is a jackpot promotion failure production to notify. For example, in the jackpot promotion promotion, the production pattern is variably displayed in the display area of the production display device 5 and either one of the normal symbol and the probability symbol is stopped and displayed as the production display result, or the fluctuation display of the production design It is sufficient to inform the player of the presence or absence of the promotion to be a probability change state by displaying different effect images.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Further, the register setting of the CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, the loop process may be entered after executing the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, whereby the gate switch 21, the first starting opening switch 22A, and the second starting opening are performed via the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (S11). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (S12). After that, by executing predetermined information output processing, for example, data such as jackpot information, start information, probability fluctuation information and the like supplied to the hole management computer disposed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output (S13 ).

  Following the information output process, the game random number updating process for updating at least a part of the gaming random numbers such as the random number values MR1 to MR4 used on the main substrate 11 side by software is executed (S14). Thereafter, CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (S15). In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in the display 4B, opening / closing operation setting of the special winning opening in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, and the like in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process processing, normal symbol process processing is executed (S16). The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process processing to control the display operation (for example, lighting and extinguishing of the segment LED, etc.) in the normal symbol display 20, and the variable display of the normal symbol and the movable in the normal variable winning ball device 6B. Allows setting of tilting movement of winglet etc.

  After executing the normal symbol process processing, the CPU 103 transmits a control command from the main board 11 to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process (S17). As an example of these, in the command control process, among the output ports included in the I / O 105, corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table designated by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155, After control data is set in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal, and the effect control INT signal is turned on for a predetermined time. By setting the state to the off state or the like, transmission of effect control commands based on settings in the command transmission table is enabled. After executing the command control process, the game control timer interrupt process is ended after setting to the interrupt enabled state.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S15 shown in FIG. 9 as the special symbol process process. In the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning process (S21). After executing the start winning process, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of S22 to S29 in accordance with the value of the special view process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether or not there is a first start winning or a second start winning by the first starting opening switch 22A or the second starting opening switch 22B, and if there is a winning, the special view display result The random number value MR1 for determination, the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, and the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination are extracted, and if it is the first start winning combination, an empty entry in the first special view reserve storage unit 151A. In the case of the second start winning combination, it is stored in the top of the empty entry in the second special view reserve storage unit 151B.

  The special symbol normal processing of S22 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0". In the special symbol normal processing, the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol is displayed based on the presence / absence of the pending data stored in the first special view pending storage unit 151A or the second special view pending storage unit 151B. It is determined whether the special drawing game is started by the display 4B. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for the special image display result determination, whether the variable display result of the special symbol or the effect pattern is "big hit" Make a decision (pre-decision) before being displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, in response to the variation display result of the special symbol in the special figure game, the finalized special symbol in the special figure game by the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B (big hit symbol or One of the off symbols is set. In the special symbol normal processing, when the variable display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is determined in advance, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “1”.

  The variation pattern setting process of S23 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". In this fluctuation pattern setting process, the fluctuation pattern can be selected from any of a plurality of kinds of fluctuation patterns using numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination based on the result of prior determination of whether or not the fluctuation display result is "big hit" It includes the process of deciding whether or not. When the variation pattern setting process is executed and the variation display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2".

  By the special symbol normal processing of S22 and the variation pattern setting processing of S23, a variation pattern including the variation display time of the finalized special symbol, the special symbol and the effect symbol as the variation display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing use the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, and the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination. Processing for determining the variable display mode of

  The special symbol variation process of S24 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, a process to make settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol indicator 4A and the second special symbol indicator 4B, and an elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. For example, every time the special symbol variation process of S24 is executed, the special figure variation timer value which is the storage value in the special figure variation timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153 is decremented by 1 or incremented by 1 Whether it is a special figure game using the first special figure in the special symbol display 4A or a special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B, it is progressed by a common timer A measurement of time is taken. Further, it is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Thus, the special symbol variation process of S24 is the variation of the special symbol in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol indicator 4A, and the second special figure in the second special symbol indicator 4B. It is sufficient that the process of controlling the variation of the special symbol in the special drawing game using the symbol is controlled by the common processing routine. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special figure variation time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3".

  The special symbol stopping process of S25 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the variation of the special symbol is stopped by the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and the finalized special symbol as the variation display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived) It includes the process of making settings for Then, it is determined whether the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on or not, and if the big hit flag is on, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". Be done. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special process process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". In this big hit opening pre-processing, on the basis of the fluctuation indication result becoming “big hit” and the like, the processing etc which does the setting in order to start execution of the round in big hit game state and open the big winning opening include. At this time, for example, the upper limit of the period in which the big winning opening is opened is set according to whether the big hit type is “non-probable big hit”, “positively big hit A”, or “positively big hit B”. May be As an example, regardless of the big hit type, while setting the upper limit of the period which makes the big winning a prize opening state to "29 seconds", the opening frequency of the big winning a prize opening which becomes the upper limit number of times to execute the round In the case of “or“ probable variation big hit A ”, setting to“ 16 times ”may be performed to set the normally open big hit state. On the other hand, when the big hit type is “probable big hit B,” setting the number of open big wins, which is the upper limit number of times to execute the round, to “five times” sets the short open jackpot state You should be At this time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5".

  The big hit open processing of S27 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "5". The big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes a process of determining whether it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, the processing of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed, and then the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "6". .

  The big hit opening post process of S28 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round with the big winning opening opened reached the large winning opening opening frequency maximum value, the winning opening opening frequency maximum value was reached In this case, the process of setting for transmitting the big hit end designation command is included. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the maximum winning opening open number maximum value, while the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5", when the maximum winning opening opening number maximum value is reached, the special drawing The value of the process flag is updated to "7".

  The big hit end processing of S29 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". In this big hit end process, a waiting time corresponding to a period in which ending effect is performed as a rendering operation to notify the end of the big hit gaming state by a rendering device such as the rendering display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the gaming effect LED 9, etc. The process includes a process of waiting until the passage of time has elapsed, and a process of performing various settings (setting of a probability change flag or a time reduction flag) for starting the probability change control or the time reduction control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0".

  In the big hit end processing, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is read out, and the big hit type is “non-probable variation big hit”, “probably variation big hit A”, “certain variation big hit B” Identify if there was. Then, if it is determined that the identified jackpot type is not "non-probable variation big hit", setting (setting of a probability variation flag) for starting the probability variation control is performed.

  In addition, when the specified big hit type is “non-probable variation big hit”, the setting for starting the time reduction control (preset corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game executable during the setting of the time reduction flag and time reduction control) A predetermined count initial value ("100" in this embodiment) is set in the time reduction counter.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing effect control main processing executed by the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12. When the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts execution of the main processing. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed to clear the RAM area, set various initial values, and initialize the timer for determining the start interval (for example, 2 ms) of effect control (S51). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to loop processing for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. In the main processing, when the timer interrupt flag is set (on), the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53), and executes the following processing.

  The effect control CPU 120 first analyzes the received effect control command, and performs processing such as setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis processing: S54). In this command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the content of the command transmitted from the main substrate 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received in an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal, and is stored in the buffer area formed in the RAM 122. In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) is the effect control command stored in the buffer area.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, among the processes corresponding to the control state, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected to execute display control of the effect display device 5.

  Next, an effect random number updating process for updating the count value of a counter for generating effect random numbers such as a jackpot symbol determination random number is executed (S56), and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) in the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first causes the pending storage display in the first pending storage display area 5D and the second pending storage display area 5U of the effect display device 5 according to the storage content of the presentation control buffer setting unit A pending display update process for updating to the current display is executed (S72).

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs one of the processes in S73 to S79 in accordance with the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is performed.

  Fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73): It is confirmed whether a fluctuation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100 or not. Specifically, it is checked in the command analysis process whether or not the fluctuation pattern designation command has been received. If the fluctuation pattern designation command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation start process (S74).

  Effect pattern fluctuation start process (S74): Control is performed so that the change of effect pattern is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol process (S75).

  During the effect symbol fluctuation process (S75): While controlling the switching timing and the like of each fluctuation state (the fluctuation speed) constituting the fluctuation pattern, the end of the fluctuation time is monitored. Then, when the fluctuation time is over, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S76).

  Effect pattern fluctuation stop process (S76): Based on the fact that the effect control command (pattern confirmation command) instructing all symbol stop is received, the fluctuation of the effect pattern is stopped and the control to derive and display the display result (stop pattern) Do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit display process (S77) or the fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Big hit display process (S77): After the end of the fluctuation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of a big hit. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the processing during the big hit game (S78).

  During the big hit game processing (S78): Control during the big hit game. For example, when a special winning opening open designation command or a special winning opening open designation command is received, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end effect processing (S79).

  Big hit end effect processing (S79): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation start process (S74) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the effect symbol variation start process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the first change start command reception flag is set in S271 (S271). If the first change start command reception flag is set (S271; Y), it is stored in association with the buffer numbers “1” to “4” of the first special view pending storage in the start winning reception command buffer. The various command data and the various flags are shifted upward by one buffer number (S272). The contents of the buffer number “1” are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  When the first change start command reception flag is not set in S271 (S271; N), it is determined whether the second change start command reception flag is set (S273). If the second variation start command reception flag is not set (S273; N), the effect symbol variation start process is ended, and if the second variation start command reception flag is set (S273; Y), the start is started The various command data and the various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “1” to “4” of the second special view reservation storage in the winning reception command buffer are shifted upward by one buffer number (S274) ). The contents of the buffer number “1” are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  After S272 or S274, the effect control CPU 120 reads out the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (S275).

  Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the effect pattern is determined according to the data stored in the display result specification command storage area (ie, the received display result specification command) (S276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the effect symbol according to the display result designated by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the stop symbol of the determined effect symbol in the effect symbol display result storage area Do.

  In the present embodiment, when the received variable display result specification command is the second variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, the CPU 120 for effect control, for example, has three symbols “7” as a stop symbol. Determine the combination (big hit design) of the production design that was aligned with. In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, as a stop symbol, a plurality of combinations of odd symbols other than "7" (for example, "111", It is determined from "combinations of rendering symbols such as" 333 "," 555 ", and" 999 ". In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit, the effect control CPU 120, for example, as a stop design, the 3 design symbols of even production Determine the combination (big hit design). In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is a first variable display result specification command corresponding to a release, a combination (deletion design) of a production design in which 3 symbols become irregular as a stop design is determined.

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

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the gaming state is in the high base state (high probability high base state or low probability high base state) (S277). If the gaming state is in the high base state (S277; Y), it is further determined whether the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display is a fluctuation pattern of super reach (S278). When the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display is the fluctuation pattern of super reach (S278; Y), the random number for reach effect determination is extracted from the random number circuit 124 etc., and the extracted random effect for reach effect determination, reach effect not shown The reach effect is determined from among the first reach effect to the third reach effect based on the determination table and the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation display (S279).

  As shown in FIG. 14D, in the first reach effect, a battle effect in which an ally character and an enemy character fight on the effect display device 5 is executed, and the player is received during the operation reception period of the push button 31B during the battle effect. Is a reach effect in which the teammate character wins, loses or draws based on the operation of the push button 31B or the passage of the operation reception period. In addition, when the ally character wins in the battle production, the variation display result is a probability change big hit, and it is informed that the gaming state is controlled to the probability change state (high probability high base state) after the big hit game is over, and the battle production When the ally character loses in, the variation display result is a non-probability variation big hit to notify that the gaming state is controlled to the high base state (low probability high base state) after the end of the big hit game. Furthermore, when an ally character draws with an enemy character in a battle effect, the high base state (high probability high base state or low probability high base state) continues by the fluctuation display result becoming out (super reach out). Inform.

  Further, in the second reach effect, the effect display device 5 displays an image 210 of the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image described later, and changes the display mode of the image of the push button 31B based on the passage of time. The player operates the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the push button 31B, or notifies that the fluctuation display result is a probability change big hit based on the passage of the operation reception period, or the fluctuation display It is a reach effect to notify that the result is a loss.

  The third reach effect is a reach effect in which the image 210 of the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image described later in the effect display device 5 is stopped or displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. If the image of the push button 31B is not displayed stopped or displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, it is informed that the variation display result is a loss, and the image of the push button 31B is an effect display When the display is stopped or displayed in the center of the display area 5, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the push button 31B, or the operation reception period has elapsed. On the basis of the result of the variable display.

  The image 210 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5 in the first reach effect to the third reach effect of the present embodiment is a translucent image, but the present invention is not limited to this. The image 210 of the push button 31B displayed as an operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5 in the first reach effect to the third reach effect is not limited to If it is a display mode that can be distinguished from the image 230 of the push button 31B displayed as an image, for example, an image different in size and color from the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, an image of a part of the push button 31B, etc. It may be

  If the variable display result is a probability change big hit in S279, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the first reach effect in the winning pattern at a rate of 33.3% as shown in FIG. 14A. , 33.3% of the execution of the second reach effect in the success pattern is determined, 33.4% of the execution of the third reach effect in the success pattern is determined. That is, when the variation display result is a probability variation big hit, the ratio of the execution of the first reach effect in the winning pattern, the execution of the second reach effect in the success pattern, and the execution of the third reach effect in the success pattern is almost the same To decide.

  In addition, when the fluctuation display result is the non-probability variation big hit, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the first reach effect in the defeat pattern at a rate of 100% as shown in FIG. Execution of reach production and 3rd reach production is not decided.

  In addition, when the fluctuation display result is a loss, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the first reach effect in the draw pattern at a rate of 33.3%, as shown in FIG. The execution of the second reach effect in the failure pattern is determined at a rate of 3%, and the execution of the third reach effect in the failure pattern is determined at a rate of 33.4%. In other words, when the variation display result is a loss, the execution of the first reach effect in the draw pattern, the execution of the second reach effect in the failure pattern, the execution of the third reach effect in the failure pattern are approximately the same ratio decide.

  In the present embodiment, the execution of the first reach effect, the execution of the second reach effect, and the execution of the third reach effect are performed at substantially the same ratio in the case where the fluctuation display result is a probability variation big hit Although the form to determine is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The execution of the 1st reach production, the execution of the 2nd reach production, and the execution of the 3rd reach production, the fluctuation display result is certainty big hit And may be determined at different rates. By doing this, it is possible to create a reach effect that is easy to be executed when the variable display result is a probability change big hit, so it is possible to make the player pay attention to which reach effect is executed, so I can improve the interest.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reach effect determined to be executed when the variable display result is the non-probability variation big hit is only the first reach effect of the defeat pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. The execution of the second reach effect or the third reach effect may be determined even in the case where the variable display result is a non-probable variation big hit. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first reach effect to the third reach effect can be executed only when the gaming state is the high base state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The first to third reach effects may be performed even in the low base state.

  Next, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the execution of the first reach effect is determined in S279 (S280). When execution of the 2nd reach production and the 3rd reach production is decided in S279 (S280; N), it advances to S283, when execution of the 1st reach production is decided in S279 (S280; Y), The random number for the first reach effect is extracted from the random number circuit 124 or the like, and the extracted random number for effect route determination, the effect route determination table (not shown), and the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation display. Determine the production route in the first reach production as a chance route or pinch route. In addition, a chance route is a production route which suggests that the rendering result will be a victory (probable variation big hit) or a draw (loss) by attacking an enemy character by an ally character in battle production, and a pinch route This is a rendering route that suggests that the rendering result is defeated (non-deterministic big hit) or drawn (dropped) by the enemy character attacking the ally character in the battle rendering.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, when the variable display result is a probability change big hit, that is, when the execution of the first reach effect in the winning pattern is determined, the production route is a chance at 100% ratio. Decide on the route. Further, when the variable display result is a non-probable variation big hit, that is, when the execution of the first reach effect in the defeat pattern is determined, the effect route is determined as the chance route at a rate of 100%. In addition, when the variable display result is a loss, that is, when the execution of the first reach effect in the draw pattern is determined, the effect route is determined as a chance route at a rate of 50%, and at a rate of 50% Determine the production route as a pinch route.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 selects the process table corresponding to the effect route as the process table for executing the first reach effect, and proceeds to S290 (S282). The determination ratio of the effect route shown in FIG. 15 is an example, and the effect route may be determined at a ratio different from that of the present embodiment.

  On the other hand, at S283, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the second reach effect has been determined at S279. When execution of the third reach effect is determined in S279 (S283; N), the process proceeds to S287, and when execution of the second reach effect is determined in S279 (S283; Y), the operation promotion image from the random number circuit 124 etc. The random number for display mode determination is extracted, and the player is presented to the player based on the extracted random number for operation promotion image display mode determination, the table for operation promotion image display mode determination not shown, and the variable display result in the variable display. The final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image for prompting the operation of the push button 31B (size of the image 230 of the push button 31B finally displayed as the operation prompting image) is determined (S284).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (A), when the variation display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit), the final display mode (size) of the image of the push button 31B is “80% And “small” at a rate of 20%. If the variable display result is a loss, the final display mode (size) of the image of the push button 31B is determined to be "large" at a rate of 20%, and is determined to be "large" at a rate of 80%. The determination ratio of the display mode of the operation promotion image in the present embodiment is an example, and the display mode of the operation promotion image may be determined at a determination ratio different from that of the present embodiment.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 extracts the display mode change frequency determination random number from the random number circuit 124 or the like, and determines the extracted display mode change frequency determination random number, display mode change frequency determination table not shown, and S284. Based on the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, the number of changes of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B which is the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect is 1 to 3 times One of them is determined (S285). The operation suggestion image in the present embodiment is an image that suggests that the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image is displayed, that is, the operation of the push button 31B is accepted.

  The second reach effect when the number of times of change of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B which is the operation suggestion image is determined to be one is the image 210 of the white push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image. It is changed to the operation promotion image (the image 230 of the push button 31 B whose size is “large” or “small”). In the second reach effect when the number of times of change of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B which is the operation suggestion image is determined to be two, the image 210 of the white push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image is After changing it to the image 210 of the blue push button 31B, it changes to the operation prompting image (the image 230 of the push button 31B whose size is "large" or "small"). The second reach effect when the number of times of change of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B which is the operation suggestion image is determined to be three is the image 210 of the white push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image. After changing to the image 210 of the blue push button 31B, the image 210 is further changed to the image 210 of the red push button 31B, and the operation prompting image (image 230 of the push button 31B of the size "large" or "small") Change to

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (B), when the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image is "large", the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image The number of display mode changes is determined once at a rate of 10%, twice at a rate of 20%, and three times at a rate of 70%. When the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image is "small", the number of display mode changes of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is 70%. Times are determined twice at a rate of 20% and three times at a rate of 10%. The number of changes of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the present embodiment is an example, and the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image at a rate different from the present embodiment. The number of changes in may be determined.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B is determined to be three times as the operation suggestion image, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is "large". In the case where the display mode is displayed and the case where the display mode is displayed as "small", both are provided, but when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B is determined to be three times as the operation suggestion image, The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image may be displayed in "large" without fail. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the number of changes of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B is determined to be one as the operation suggestion image, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is “large”. In the case where the display mode is displayed and the case where the display mode is displayed as "small", both are provided, but if the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B is determined as one as the operation suggestion image, The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image may be displayed as "small" without fail.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 performs, as a process table for executing the second reach effect, the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image and the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image. The process table is selected according to the display mode change number, and the process proceeds to S290.

  That is, in the second reach effect in the present embodiment, the color of the image 210 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image changes in the order of white → blue → red, and different sizes (large or large) It is an effect that the image 230 of the (small) push button 31B is displayed. In addition, in the second reach effect in the present embodiment, when the image of the large push button 31B (the image 230 of the "large" push button 31B as the operation prompting image) is displayed as the operation prompting image, the image is small as the operation prompting image. The variation display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit) at a higher rate than when the image of the push button 31B (the image 230 of the “small” push button 31B as the operation prompting image) is displayed, and is displayed as the operation suggestion image Depending on the color of the image 210 of the push button 31B, the rate at which the image 230 of the "large" push button 31B is displayed as the operation promotion image differs.

  Specifically, when the image 210 of the red push button 31B is displayed as the operation suggestion image, the rate at which the image 230 of the "large" push button 31B is displayed as the operation prompting image is high, and as the operation suggestion image When the image 210 of the white push button 31B is displayed, the rate at which the image 230 of the "large" push button 31B is displayed as the operation promotion image is the lowest. Therefore, in the second reach effect, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the change in color (the number of display mode changes) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16B, in the present embodiment, when the number of times of display mode change of the operation suggestion image is determined to be three (that is, the image 210 of the red push button 31B is displayed as the operation suggestion image Even in the case where the image 230 of the "small" push button 31B may be displayed as the operation promotion image, the image 210 of the red push button 31B may be displayed as the operation suggestion image. It is possible to make the player pay attention to which one of the image 230 of the "small" push button 31B and the image 230 of the "large" push button 31B is displayed as the work promotion image.

  In S287, the CPU for effect control 120 determines the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image in the third reach effect to any one of pattern 1 to pattern 6.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 (C) and 26 (A), in the pattern 1, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are displayed from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 The image of these two push buttons 31B is moved in the middle of the display area of the effect display device 5 (see FIG. 26A, see, for example, 1.5 seconds). 26 (A) reference, for example, 0.7 seconds), overlapping (superposing) and stopping, and at the stopped position (the center of the display area of the effect display device 5), two push buttons 31B as an operation suggestion image The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image is displayed in place of the image 210 of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 26A, in the present embodiment, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are moved from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area. The period L to be made is a period longer than the period L1 (L> L1) to make the images of the two push buttons 31B stop overlapping at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 26B, in the pattern 2, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed from the upper side of the display area of the effect display device 5 to the center of the display area. And the image of the push button 31B is stopped at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, and the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image at the stopped position (center of the display area of the effect display device 5). The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image is displayed in place of the image 210 of FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17C and FIG. 26C, in the pattern 3, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is gradually displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 (appearance display ) Based on the completion of the gradual display of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image, instead of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the center of the display area, operation prompting It is a pattern which displays picture 230 of push button 31B as a picture. That is, patterns 1 to 3 are patterns for notifying that the variation display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit).

  In the first to third patterns, after the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, the player performs the operation reception period of the push button 31B. It is notified that the variable display result is a big hit based on the operation of the push button 31B or the elapse of the operation reception period.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17C and FIG. 27A, in the pattern 4, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are displayed from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 The image of these two push buttons 31B is moved at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 for a period L1 shorter than the period L (FIG. 27A). Reference: L> L1) After being stopped redundantly, move (towards the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display 5, for example, the moving period is 0.5 seconds), and these two push buttons This is a pattern in which the image of 31B is displayed as a failure highlight for a period L2 (L2> L1, for example, L2 is 1.0 seconds) longer than the period L1 at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 .

  The pattern 4 is a mode in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are moved from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area over the period L at uniform speed. However, the period for moving the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 may be made different. When different periods of moving the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 as described above, the image of the push button 31B as one operation suggestion image A period in which the point 210 is moved toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 may be shorter than a period L1 in which the images of the two push buttons 31B are overlapped and displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5.

  In the present embodiment, the “period corresponding to failure highlighting” according to the present invention is a period during which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5. Although it is set as L2, if the "period corresponding to failure highlighting" includes the period which displays the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as an operation suggestion image on the right and left ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 , May be a period including other indications.

  Further, in the present embodiment, “period corresponding to superimposed display” in the present invention is set as a period L1 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are overlapped and displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. Although “period corresponding to superimposed display” includes a period in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is overlapped and displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, another display It may be a period including

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 27B, in the pattern 5, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed from the upper side of the display area of the effect display device 5 to the center of the display area. And the image of the push button 31B is stopped at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 for a predetermined period, and then the image of the push button 31B is highlighted as a failure highlight. This is a pattern in which display is stopped and displayed at a lower end portion of the display area for a period L3 longer than the period L2 (L3: 1.5 seconds> L2: 1.0 seconds> L1: 0.7 seconds).

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 27C, in the pattern 6, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image is yarded for a predetermined period at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 After being gradually displayed (displayed appearance), the display is performed for a period L4 (L3: 1.5 seconds> L2: 1.0 seconds> L1: 0.7 seconds> L4: 0.3 seconds) shorter than the period L1. It is a pattern which makes the image of the push button 31B disappear as an error highlighting from the center of the display area without completing the display (appearing display) gradually. That is, the patterns 4 to 6 are patterns for notifying that the variation display result is a release. That is, in the present embodiment, when the display pattern of the image of the push button 31B in the third reach effect is pattern 4 to pattern 6, the periods in which failure highlighting is performed differ from one another.

  In S287, as shown in FIG. 17A, when the variation display result is a probability variation big hit, the display pattern of the image of the push button 31B in the third reach effect is determined to be pattern 1 at a rate of 10%. And the pattern 2 is determined at a rate of 20%, and the pattern 3 is determined at a rate of 70%. On the other hand, as shown to FIG. 17 (B), when a fluctuation display result is a loss, the display pattern of the image of push button 31B in 3rd reach production is determined to the pattern 1 in the ratio of 70%, and 20 Pattern 5 is determined at a rate of%, and pattern 6 is determined at a rate of 10%.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect are moved from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area The ratio where the fluctuation display result is the big hit most when the effect of stopping the image 210 of these two push buttons 31B overlappingly in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 is executed (pattern 1 or pattern 4) The effect (pattern 3 or pattern 6) of gradually displaying (appearing display) the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestive image at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 is the largest. The rate of becoming is high. That is, in the present embodiment, the big hit expectation degree is illustrated according to the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect, but the present invention is limited thereto The big hit expectation of each display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in these third reach effects may not be the same, but may be all or part of the same. In addition, the order of the ratio of the variation display result to the big hit in each of the display patterns may be different from that of the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the period L4 is illustrated as a period shorter than the period L1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the period L4 is a period L1 if it is a period shorter than the period L2. It may be longer than that.

  Then, after the execution of S287, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table corresponding to the display pattern of the image of the push button 31B as the process table for executing the third reach effect, and proceeds to S289 (S288).

  If the gaming state is in the low base state (normal state) (S277; N) or if the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display is a normal reach or non-reach fluctuation pattern (S278; N), a fluctuation pattern designation command The process table according to is selected and it progresses to S290 (S289).

  Then, in S290, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the process table selected in one of S282, S288, and S289 (S290).

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

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 follows the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) to display the effect device (effect component as a presentation component) The control of the device 5, the various LEDs as presentation parts, the speakers 8L and 8R as presentation parts, and the operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (S291). For example, in order to display an image according to the fluctuation pattern on the effect display device 5, an instruction is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, in order to control turning on / off various LEDs, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14. In addition, in order to perform audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13.

  Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (S292). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (S293). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left middle right effect pattern to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 writes the information to the VRAM. By outputting a signal corresponding to the image data to the effect display device 5 and the effect display device 5 displaying an image according to the signal, the variation of the effect pattern is realized. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol process (S75) (S294).

  FIG.18, FIG.19, FIG.21, FIG.23 and FIG. 24 is a flowchart which shows the process (S75) under production symbol fluctuation in presentation control process processing. In the effect symbol variation process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the values of the process timer, the variation time timer, and the variation control timer by one (S301, S302, S303).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether the process timer has timed out (S306). If the process timer has timed out, the process data is switched (S307). That is, the process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value set next in the process table to the process timer (S308). Further, the control state of the rendering device (the part for effect) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. set next to the display control execution data (S309a). On the other hand, when the process timer has not timed out, the rendering device (for presentation) is performed according to the content of the process data (display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data etc.) corresponding to the process timer. The control of the part is executed (S309b).

  Then, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the first reach effect, the second reach effect, or the third reach effect is being executed (S310, S311, S312).

  When it is not in the execution period of any reach effect (S310; N, S311; N, S312; N), it is checked whether or not the fluctuation control timer has timed out (S313). When the fluctuation control timer has timed out (S313; Y), the CPU 120 for effect control displays the next display screen of the left middle right production pattern (displayed after 30 ms from the display switching time of the previous production pattern) Image data of the screen to be created is written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (S314). As such, in the effect display device 5, variation control of the effect pattern is realized. The display control unit 123 causes the effect display device 5 to use a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a background image set and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table. Output. As such, in the effect display device 5, the background image, the character image and the effect pattern in the fluctuation of the effect pattern are displayed. Further, a predetermined value is reset to the fluctuation control timer (S315).

  When the fluctuation control timer has not timed out (S313; N), after executing S315, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the fluctuation time timer has timed out (S316). If the fluctuation time timer has timed out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S76) (S318). Even if the variation time timer has not timed out, if the determination command reception flag indicating that the symbol determination designation command has been received is set (S 317; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is changed to the effect symbol variation stop processing ( It updates to the value according to S76) (S318). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not timed out, the control shifts to control to stop the fluctuation when the symbol determination designation command is received. For example, the fluctuation pattern designation command showing a long fluctuation time due to noise etc. between boards Even when it is received, it is possible to end the fluctuation of the effect pattern when the normal fluctuation time elapses (when the fluctuation of the special symbol is ended).

  In the process table used for the variation control of the production symbol, the process data during the variation display of the production symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer set values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the fluctuation time of the effect pattern. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n has timed out in the process of S306, there is no process data (display control execution data, LED control execution data, etc.) to be switched, and the effect control of the effect design based on the process table ends Do.

  On the other hand, when it is during the execution period of the first reach effect (S310; Y), it is determined whether the after-operation effect executing flag indicating that the after-operation effect described below is being executed is set (S310; Y) S321). If the post-operation effect execution flag is set (S321; Y), the process proceeds to S333, and if the post-operation effect execution flag is not set (S321; N), the operation reception period of the push button 31B is received. It is determined whether there is any (S322). When it is in the operation reception period of the push button 31B (S322; Y), it proceeds to S330, and when it is not in the operation reception period of the push button 31B (S322; N), the image of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image The display 210 is moved and displayed from the left and right end sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 at the center of the display area (S323).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the effect route of the first reach effect is a chance route (S324). When the production route of the first reach effect is a chance route (S324; Y), each push button 31B displays the message image 220 of "win" and "draw" that indicate the result of the first reach effect. Is displayed as a result suggestion image corresponding to the image in the direction from the left and right end sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area (S325). Moreover, when the production route of the said 1st reach production is a pinch route (S324; N), the message image 220 of "defeat!" And "withdrawal!" Which suggests the production result of the said 1st reach production, The result indication image corresponding to the image of each push button 31B is moved and displayed from the left and right end sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area (S326).

  After the execution of S325 or S326, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S327). When it is not the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S327; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and when the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B is (S327; Y), the display of the effect display device 5 The display of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is started in the center of the area (S328), and the result suggestion images (the message image 220 of "winning!" And "drawing!" And "defeat!" And the display of the message image 220) of "withdrawal!" Is ended (S329), and the process proceeds to S330.

  In S330, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the push button 31B is operated. When the push button 31B is operated (S330; Y), the effect after the first operation for notifying the battle effect result in the first reach effect is being executed based on the operation of the push button 31B. The post-operation effect in-execution flag indicating that is set and the process proceeds to S333 (S332) Also, when the push button 31B is operated (S330; N), it is the end timing of the operation reception period of the push button 31B It is determined (S331). When it is the end timing of the operation reception period of the push button 31B (S331; Y), the post-operation effect execution flag is set, and the process proceeds to S333 (S332). If it is not the end timing of the operation reception period of the push button 31B (S331; Y), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol variation processing.

  Then, in S333, the CPU for effect control 120 executes the first operation effect execution process for executing the effect after the first operation, executes the processes of S313 to S318, and ends the effect symbol fluctuation processing.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing post-first operation effect execution processing (S333) in the processing of effect symbol variation. In the first post-operation effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a post-first operation effect process timer, which will be described later, is in operation (S401). If the first process operation process timer is not in operation (S401; N), it is further determined whether the variation display result is a probability variation big hit (probability variation big hit A or a probability variation big hit B) (S402). If the variation display result is a probability variation big hit (S402; Y), the first post-operation rendering process table for probability variation big hit is selected, and the process proceeds to S407 (S403). If the variable display result is not a definite variation big hit (S402; N), it is determined whether the variable display result is a non-probability variation big hit (S404). If the variation display result is non-probability variation big hit (S404; Y), select the first post-operation presentation process table for non-probability variation big hit and proceed to S407 (S405), if the variation display result is out (S404) N) selects the first operation post-operation effect process table for disconnection and proceeds to S407 (S406).

  Then, in S407, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the first operation post-operation process table selected in any of S403, S405, and S406.

  In addition, display control execution data for controlling the display of the effect display device 5, LED control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R in the first operation post-operation process table Sound control execution data for controlling the operation, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B, and the stick controller 31A, etc. are associated with each process data n (from 1 to N) in time series Are arranged in order.

  After that, the effect control CPU 120 follows the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) to display the effect device (effect component as effect parts) Execute control of device 5, various LEDs as parts for effect, speakers 8L and 8R as parts for effect, operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.), and end the first operation effect execution process (S408). For example, in order to display an image according to the first reach effect in the effect display device 5, an instruction is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, in order to control turning on / off various LEDs, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14. In addition, in order to perform audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13.

  On the other hand, when the after-operation rendering process timer is operating in S401 (S401; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the after-operation rendering process timer by 1 (S409), and the first operation It is determined whether the post rendering process timer has timed out (S410). When the after-operation effect process timer has timed out (S410; Y), it is further determined whether it is the last after-first operation effect process timer that has timed out (S411).

  If it is not the last post-first operation effect process timer that the timer has timed out (S411; N), the first post-operation effect process data is switched (S412). That is, the first post-operation effect process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value set next in the first operation post-operation process table as the first operation post-operation process timer (S413). In addition, the control state for the rendering device (the part for effect) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. The effect execution process is ended (S414).

  In addition, if it is the last after-first-effect rendering process timer that has timed out in S411 (S411; Y), the after-operation rendering executing flag is cleared, and the first after-operation rendering execution process ends ( S415).

  In addition, when the rendering process timer after the first operation has not timed out in S410, the contents of the process data corresponding to the rendering process timer after the first operation (display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, Control of the rendering device (component for rendering) is executed according to the operation unit control data etc.), and the post-first manipulation rendering execution process is ended (S416).

  When it is determined that the second reach effect is being executed (S311; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether a post-operation effect executing flag is set or not. (S421). If the post-operation effect execution flag is set (S421; Y), the process proceeds to S434, and if the post-operation effect execution flag is not set (S421; N), the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B It is determined whether it is medium (S422). If it is in the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S422; Y), the process proceeds to S431, and if it is not in the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S422; N), the first push button 31B as the operation suggestion image It is determined whether it is the display start timing of the image (image 210 of the white push button 31B) (S423).

  When it is the display start timing of the image 210 of the first stage push button 31B as the operation suggestive image (S423; Y), the first stage push button 31B as the operation suggestive image in the display area of the effect display device 5 The display of the image 210 is started (S424). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the effect symbol fluctuation processing is ended.

  When it is not the display start timing of the image 210 of the first stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S423; N), the second stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed on the display area of the effect display device 5 It is determined whether it is the display start timing of the image (image 210 of the blue push button 31B) (S425). When it is the display start timing of the image 210 of the second stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S425; Y), the second stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5 The display of the image 210 is started (S426). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the effect symbol fluctuation processing is ended.

  When it is not the display start timing of the image 210 of the second stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S425; N), the third stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed on the display area of the effect display device 5 It is determined whether it is the display start timing of the image (image 210 of the red push button 31B) (S427). When it is the display start timing of the image 210 of the third stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S427; Y), the third stage push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5 The display of the image 210 is started (S428). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the effect symbol fluctuation processing is ended.

  When it is not the display start timing of the image 210 of the third push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S427; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B. It determines (S429). If it is not the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S429; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol variation processing, and the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B is (S429; Y ) Is the display mode (large or small) determined in S284 of the effect symbol variation start process in place of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image and the display of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image Start at and proceed to S431.

  In S431, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the push button 31B has been operated. If the push button 31B is operated (S431; Y), the process proceeds to S433. If the push button 31B is not operated (S431; N), whether the end time of the operation reception period of the push button 31B is reached or not It determines (S432). When it is not the end timing of the operation reception period of the push button 31B (S432; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol variation processing, and the end timing of the operation reception period of the push button 31B (S432; Y) proceeds to S433. In S433, the effect control CPU 120 sets a post-operation effect executing flag and proceeds to S434.

  Next, in S434, the effect control CPU 120 executes the second-operation after-operation effect processing to execute the processing of S313 to S318, and ends the effect symbol fluctuation processing.

  FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing a second operation after effect production execution process (S434) in the process of effect pattern variation. In the second post-operation effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the second post-operation effect process timer, which will be described later, is in operation (S441). If the second operation process production process timer is not in operation (S441; N), it is further determined whether the variation display result is a probability variation big hit (probability variation big hit A or a probability variation big hit B) (S442). If the variable display result is a probability variation big hit (S 442; Y), the second variation post production operation process table for probability variation big hit is selected, and the process proceeds to S 445 (S 443). If the variable display result is a release (S442; N), the second post-operation effect process table for release is selected, and the process proceeds to S445 (S444).

  Then, in S445, the CPU for effect control 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the second operation post-operation process table selected in S443 or S444.

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

  After that, the effect control CPU 120 follows the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) to display the effect device (effect component as effect parts) Execute control of the device 5, various LEDs as components for presentation, speakers 8L and 8R as components for presentation, operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.), and finish the second execution operation execution process (S446). For example, in order to display an image according to the second reach effect in the effect display device 5, an instruction is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, in order to control turning on / off various LEDs, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14. In addition, in order to perform audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13.

  On the other hand, when the second process operation process process is operating at S441 (S441; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the second process operation process timer value by one (S447), and the second operation It is determined whether the post rendering process timer has timed out (S448). If the second operation post production process timer has timed out (S448; Y), it is further determined whether it is the last second operation post production process timer that has been timed out (S449).

  If it is not the last second-operation performance process timer that has timed out (S449; N), the second-operation performance process data is switched (S450). That is, the second post-operation rendering process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value set next in the second post-operation rendering process table to the second post-operation rendering process timer (S 451). In addition, the control state for the rendering device (the part for effect) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. set next to it, and after the second operation The effect execution process is ended (S452).

  Also, if it is the last second operation effect process timer that has timed out in S449 (S449; Y), the after-operation effect executing flag is cleared and the second operation effect execution process is ended ( S454).

  In S448, if the second operation production process timer has not timed out (S448; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the second operation production process timer (display control execution data, LED control execution data, Control of the rendering device (component for presentation) is executed according to the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc.), and the post-second operation presentation execution process is ended (S453).

  If it is determined that the third reach effect is being executed (S312; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the flag is set during the effect execution period after the operation. It determines (S461). If the after-operation effect execution period flag is set (S461; Y), the process proceeds to S480, and if the after-operation effect execution period flag is not set (S461; N), the operation reception period of the push button 31B It is determined whether it is medium (S462). If it is in the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S462; Y), the process proceeds to S476, and if it is not in the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S462; N), whether it is in the failure highlighting period. Is determined (S463).

  If it is in the period of failure highlighting (S463; Y), it proceeds to S482, and if it is not in the period of failure highlighting (S463; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect It is determined whether the display pattern of is the pattern 1 or the pattern 4 (S464). In the case of pattern 1 or pattern 4 (S464; Y), during the period in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is moved toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 (two push buttons It is determined whether or not it is during the movement display period of the image 31 B) (S 465).

  When the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B is moving (S465; Y), the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggested progressive image are displayed on the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 The display is moved from the center to the center, and the process proceeds to S473 (S466). In addition, when the moving period of the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B is not in progress (S465; N), the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is stopped at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 The image is displayed, and the images of the two push buttons 31B are overlapped (overlapping display) (S467). Then, the process proceeds to S473.

  When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image in the third reach effect is not pattern 1 and pattern 4 in S464 (S464; N), the push button as the operation suggesting image in the third reach effect It is determined whether the display pattern of the image 210 of 31B is pattern 2 or pattern 5 (S468). When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B is pattern 2 or pattern 5 (S468; Y), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is further directed to the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 It is determined whether or not it is during the movement period (during the movement display period of the image of the push button 31B) (S469).

  When the moving period of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is in progress (S469; Y), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed from the upper end side in the display area of the effect display device 5 It is moved and displayed toward the center, and the process proceeds to S473 (S470). When the moving period of the image 210 of the push button 31B is not in progress (S469; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is stopped and displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 (S471) ), Go to S473.

  When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is the pattern 3 or the pattern 6 in S468 (S468; N), the effect display device 5 displays the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. In the center of the display area of (1), the display is gradually displayed (displayed appearance) (S472), and the process proceeds to S473.

  Next, in S473, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image in the third reach effect is any of pattern 1 to pattern 3, that is, the variation display result is It is determined whether or not it is a definite variation big hit. If the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is any of the patterns 4 to 6 (S473; N), the process proceeds to S481, and as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B is any of the patterns 1 to 3 (S473; N), it is determined whether it is the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S474). When it is not the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S474; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol variation processing, and when it is the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S474; Y ) Starts displaying the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, and the process advances to S476.

  In S476, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the push button 31B has been operated. When the push button 31B is operated (S476; Y), the process proceeds to S478, and when the push button 31B is not operated (S476; N), it is further determined whether it is the operation acceptance end timing of the push button 31B. (S477). If it is the operation acceptance end timing of the push button 31B (S477; Y), the processing proceeds to S478, and if it is not the operation acceptance end timing of the push button 31B, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the processing during the effect symbol variation. .

  Then, in step S478, the effect control CPU 120 sets a post-operation effect execution flag and executes a post-third operation effect execution process (S480). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the effect symbol fluctuation processing is ended.

  FIG. 25 is a flow chart showing the effect execution processing (S480) after the third operation in the processing during effect design variation. In the effect execution process after the third operation, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the operation process timer after the third operation described later is in operation (S501). If the post-third effect process timer is not in operation (S501; N), select the third post-operation effect process table according to the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S502), The process timer in the process data 1 of the selected third post-operation presentation process table is started (S 503).

  In addition, display control execution data for controlling the display of the effect display device 5, LED control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R in the third operation effect process table Sound control execution data for controlling the operation, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B, and the stick controller 31A, etc. are associated with each process data n (from 1 to N) in time series Are arranged in order.

  After that, the effect control CPU 120 follows the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) to display the effect device (effect component as effect parts) Execute control of device 5, various LEDs as parts for effect, speakers 8L and 8R as parts for effect, operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.), and finish the process for executing effect after third operation (S504). For example, in order to display an image according to the third reach effect on the effect display device 5, an instruction is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, in order to control turning on / off various LEDs, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14. In addition, in order to perform audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13.

  On the other hand, when the second post-operation effect process timer is operating in S501 (S501; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the second post-operation effect process timer by 1 (S505). Then, it is determined whether the effect process timer after the third operation has timed out (S506). If the after-third effect process timer has timed out (S506; Y), it is further determined whether it is the last after-third effect process timer that has timed out (S507).

  If it is not the last third operation effect process timer that has timed out (S507; N), the third operation effect process data is switched (S508). That is, the third post-operation effect process timer is newly started by setting the process timer setting value set next in the third operation post-operation process table to the third operation post-operation process timer (S509). In addition, the control state for the rendering device (the part for effect) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. set next to it, and after the third operation The effect execution process is ended (S510).

  If it is the last third operation effect process timer that has timed out in S507 (S507; Y), the after-operation effect executing flag is cleared and the third-operation effect execution process ends ( S512).

  In S506, when the effect process timer after the third operation has not timed out (S506; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the effect process timer after the third operation (display control execution data, LED control execution data, Control of the rendering device (component for presentation) is executed according to the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc.), and the post-third operation presentation execution process is ended (S511).

  Returning to the processing during the effect symbol variation, in S481, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is in the period of failure highlight display. If it is not during the failure highlighting period (S481; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the rendering symbol variation processing, and when it is during the failure highlighting period (S481; Y), the processing is for S482. move on. In S482, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 4. When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 4 (S482; Y), the images of the two push buttons 31B are displayed as the failure highlight display on the effect display device 5 The stop display is made at the left and right ends of the area (S483). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the effect symbol fluctuation processing is ended.

  When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is not the pattern 4 (S482; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect It is determined whether the display pattern is pattern 5 (S484). When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 5 (S484; Y), the image 210 of the push button 31B is displayed as a failure highlight as a display area of the effect display device 5 The stop display is displayed at the lower end of the (S485). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the effect symbol fluctuation processing is ended.

  When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 6 (S484; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B is displayed as the failure display of the effect display device 5 It disappears from the center (end of display) (S486). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the effect symbol fluctuation processing is ended.

  Next, the display mode of the effect display device 5 when executing the first reach effect will be described based on FIGS. 28 and 29. FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 28 (A) and FIG. 28 (B), when the rendering symbol stops in the combination of reach to the “left” and “right” rendering symbol display areas 5L and 5R, allies to the rendering display device 5 The character and the enemy character are displayed, and the first reach effect is started. Next, as shown in FIG. 28C and FIG. 28D, when execution of the chance route is determined in the first reach effect, the teammate character attacks the enemy character.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 28E, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5. At this time, above the image 210 of the push button 31B displayed at the left end of the display area of the effect display device 5, an image of the push button 31B as a result suggestion image corresponding to the effect contents of the effect after the first operation. Is displayed on the right side of the display area of the effect display device 5, the message image 220 corresponding to the image of the push button 31B is displayed above the image 210 of the push button 31B. A message image 220 of "withdrawal!" Is displayed. That is, in the first reach effect of the present embodiment, the number of the images 210 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image and the number of the message images 220 displayed as the result suggestion image are the same.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 28F and 29G, a message image 220 as a result suggestion image corresponding to an image of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image and an image of each push button 31B. Is moved and displayed toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, and the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are overlapped and displayed at the center of the display area. When the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are overlapped and displayed at the center of the display area, the display of each message image 220 is ended. In addition, after the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are overlapped and displayed at the center of the display area for the period L1, these operation suggestion images are displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 The display of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image is started in place of the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B, and the acceptance of the operation of the push button 31B is started.

  When the player operates the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B or when the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B ends, as shown in FIG. 29 (H) and FIG. 29 (I) If the ally character wins over the enemy character as the effect after the first operation and it is informed that the variation display result is a probability change big hit, or the ally character and the enemy character are drawn as the effect after the first operation It is informed that it is a loss.

  In FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, although the case where the first reach effect is performed on the chance route has been described, the first reach effect is started when the first reach effect is performed on the pinch route And the enemy character attack the ally character. Then, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed on the left and right end portions of the display area of the effect display device 5. At this time, above the image 210 of the push button 31B displayed at the left end of the display area of the effect display device 5, a message image 220 of "defeat!" As a result suggestion image corresponding to the image of the push button 31B. Is displayed, and above the image 210 of the push button 31B displayed at the right end of the display area of the effect display device 5, a message of "withdrawal!" As a result suggestion image corresponding to the image of the push button 31B. An image 220 is displayed.

  Thereafter, as in the case shown in FIGS. 28F and 29G, a message as a result suggestion image corresponding to the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image and the image 210 of each push button 31B. The image 220 is moved and displayed toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. Then, after the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are overlapped and displayed over the period L1 at the center of the display area, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images are displayed. Instead, the display of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is started, and the acceptance of the operation of the push button 31B by the player is started.

  When the player operates the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the push button 31B or when the operation reception period of the push button 31B ends, the enemy character wins over the teammate character as the effect after the first operation. It is informed that the variable display result is the non-probable variation big hit, or it is notified that the friend character and the enemy character draw as the effect after the first operation and the variable display result is out.

  In this embodiment, the battle effect is executed during the first reach effect, and the variation display result indicates the probability variation big hit, the non-probability variation big hit, or any of the missing as a result of the battle effect (effect after the first operation). Although the present invention is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effects to be executed during the first reach effect may be effects other than battle effects as long as they indicate a plurality of effect results. Good. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29G, a mode is shown in which only one image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5, The present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of images 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image may be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. In the case where a plurality of images 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image are displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 in this way, based on the player's operation of the push button 31B, the result advantageous to the player is obtained. A corresponding effect may be executed (if it is a chance route, an effect in which an ally character beats an enemy character, or if it is a pinch route, an effect in which an ally character and an enemy character draw each other).

  Moreover, although the form which can perform battle production by a chance route and a pinch route is illustrated in a present Example, this invention is not limited to this, The said battle production is a chance route and a pinch route You may carry out only by one side. In addition, when performing a battle production by only one of the chance route and the pinch route in this way, for example, the image 210 of the three push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image and the "winning!" As the result suggestion image, After moving and displaying the message images 220 of “defeat!” And “withdrawal” respectively toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, the image of the push button 31B as a motion promotion image is displayed , An effect in which the ally character wins the enemy character as an effect after the first operation based on the operation of the push button 31B by the player (probable change big hit notification), an effect in which the ally character loses the enemy character (non positive change big hit notification) It is sufficient to execute one of the effects (off notification) in which the ally character and the enemy character draw each other.

  Next, the display mode of the effect display device 5 in the case of executing the second reach effect will be described based on FIG. 30 and FIG.

  In the present embodiment, when the third reach effect is executed in the pattern 4, a period L1 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are overlapped and displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. The period L2 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as these operation suggestion images are displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 as a failure highlighting is longer (L2> L1) Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a period L1 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are overlapped and displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 is a failure. A period L2 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image are displayed as the highlighted display at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 It may be the length period of the upper (L1 ≧ L2).

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Be

  For example, in the embodiment, as the second reach effect, an effect is executed in which the display mode (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changed based on the passage of fluctuation time, that is, the effect The present invention is not limited to this, but the effect of changing the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is a big hit game It may be executed over a plurality of times of variable display as pre-reading advance notice effect which suggests that it is controlled to the state. That is, in the present invention, the “predetermined period before the action prompting display is displayed” is an image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image after the second reach effect is started in the variable indication of 1. In addition to the period up to, the time period until the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation prompting image is displayed by performing the variable display a plurality of times is included. Furthermore, when the effect corresponding to the second reach effect is executed as an effect other than the reach effect such as the notice effect during the fluctuation, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed after the effect is started. The period of time corresponding to the predetermined period of time corresponds to the "predetermined period of time before the action prompting display is displayed" in the present invention.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment illustrated the form which can change the display mode (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as operation suggestion image in 2nd reach production based on progress of fluctuation time, this invention is this In addition to the image 230 of the push button 31B, the image 240 of the operation means (for example, the stick controller 31A) operable by the player other than the push button 31B can be displayed as the operation promotion image. Then, the effect after the operation (effect after the second operation) may be executed based on the fact that the player operates the operation means displayed as the operation promotion image. When the image 230 of the push button 31B and the image 240 of the stick controller 31A can be displayed as the operation promotion image as described above, the image 240 of the stick controller 31A is displayed as the operation promotion image according to the variation display result. And displaying the image 230 of the push button 31B at different rates, and displaying the image of the push button 31B when it is determined to display the image 240 of the stick controller 31A as the operation promotion image The number of changes in the display mode of the operation suggestion image may be determined at different rates depending on the case where it is determined.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 36 (A) to 36 (F) as the first modification, in the case where the execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect is determined in the state where a plurality of pending memories are stored, first, the effect The image 210 of the white push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed at the center of the display area of the display device 5. Then, the display mode (the color of the image of the push button 31B) of the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed each time the variable display ends or a new variable display starts. Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (D) to FIG. 36 (F), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changed to the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 during the change display of the prefetch target The image 230, 240 of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A as the operation promotion image is displayed.

  In addition, as shown to FIG. 36 (A)-FIG. 36 (F), when performing the 2nd reach production in the said Example as prefetch advance notice production, the predetermined position of the display area of the effect display apparatus 5 (for example, lower left part) By displaying the number of pending storages on the), it may be easy to understand that the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed over a plurality of variable displays.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment showed the form which can change the display mode (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as operation suggestion image in 2nd reach production, this invention is not limited to this During the second reach effect, as the effect different from the second reach effect, a suggested effect may be executed that suggests that the jackpot gaming state is to be controlled.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 37 (A) to 37 (F) as the second modification, the button operation effect is displayed while the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the second reach effect is displayed. Run. In the button operation effect, as shown in FIG. 37 (E), a position not overlapping with the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is for button operation effect at the right end of the display area of the effect display device 5. The operation promotion image is displayed and the operation of the push button 31B is accepted. Then, as shown in FIG. 37 (F), based on the fact that the player has accepted the operation of the push button 31B, the mini character, the speech or the like is displayed at the right end of the display area of the effect display device 5 It may be suggested that the variable display result is a big hit and is controlled to the big hit gaming state.

  As described above, in the second modification, during the display of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image during the second reach effect, the button operation rendering not corresponding to the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image Can make it possible to improve the game interest. Furthermore, the display area of the effect display device 5 is such that the button operation effect in the present modification 2 does not overlap with the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image displayed at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. Since the display of the button operation effect is blocked by the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image, it is possible to prevent the display from being obscured.

  In the second modification, while the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect is displayed, the button operation effect is produced as an effect that does not correspond to the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and during the display of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image during the second reach effect other than the button operation effect It may be possible to execute the effect of.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment showed the form which can change the display mode (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as operation suggestion image in 2nd reach production, this invention is not limited to this As shown in FIGS. 38 (A) to 38 (C) as the third modification, it is possible to execute an action effect in which a character or the like acts on the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect. The display mode (color) of the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed based on the execution of the operation effect. Furthermore, when it is possible to execute action effects in the second reach effect as described above, as shown in FIG. 38D, even if action effects are performed, display of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image By providing the case where the mode does not change, the player may be made to pay attention to whether or not the display mode of the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image changes due to the operation effect.

  Further, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28E, in the first reach effect, after the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B of the same display mode is displayed overlapping as the operation suggestion image, the operation promotion image is displayed. Although the form which displays the image 230 of push button 31B as is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The image 210 of two push button 31B as an operation suggestion image is displayed in a respectively different aspect. The image 230 of the push button 31B may be displayed as the operation promotion image, and the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images different from these modes may be displayed in an identifiable manner.

  Specifically, as the fourth modification, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image moving toward the center of the display area from the left end of the display area of the effect display device 5 is a presentation of the effect after the first operation After the first operation, the image 210 of the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image moving in the direction from the right end of the display area of the effect display device 5 to the center of the display area is red. It may be displayed in blue that suggests that the rendering result will be a draw, and the left half of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image may be displayed in red and the right half in blue. In this way, the player can specify the display mode of the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image from the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, and at the same time after the first operation. Since the effect result can be predicted from the color of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image, the interest of the effect after the first operation can be improved.

  In the fourth modification, the display mode of the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image can be specified by the color of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image. The display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image can be specified as long as the display mode of the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image can be specified. Good.

  Further, in the first modification, the second reach effect in the embodiment is executed as a preview advance effect over a plurality of variable displays, that is, a plurality of display modes of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. Although the form is shown in which the image 230 of the push button 31B is finally displayed as the operation promotion image by changing over the variable display of the times, the present invention is not limited to this, and the modification 5 As a variable display under a specific condition (for example, a period corresponding to a variable display 30 times after the end of the big hit game (for example, a special variation period shorter than the non-reach out of variation pattern (PA1-1) The pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the high probability high base state of the gaming machine after the big hit game is over and the fluctuation display of the specific number of times, while the selection ratio of shortening fluctuation is high) The gaming state is high probability high base state to low probability low base state or high probability high base state or high probability high base state when the gaming state is a pachinko machine controlled to low probability low base status or high probability high base status based on being executed The image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed on the display area of the effect display device 5 over 30 times of variable display until the base state is controlled, and the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image The display mode of the image 210 may be changed to finally display the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image on the display area of the effect display device 5. After the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5, the variation display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit) based on the player's operation of the push button 31B. Alternatively, it may be informed that it will be a loss.

  In such a case, during the period corresponding to the variable display up to, for example, 30 times after the end of the big hit game, the change display result becomes a big hit that the occurrence of retention storage occurs, and the change pattern of the super reach change The display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed based on the occurrence of pending storage in which the display is performed. By doing this, the player can be made to pay attention to the display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation promotion image by the change of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. I can improve the game interest. Although the fifth modification exemplifies a mode in which the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changed based on the occurrence of the retention storage in which the variation display result is a big hit. The present invention is not limited to this, and the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed even in the case of pending storage where variable display of super reach deviation or normal reach deviation occurs. In addition, a plurality of conditions for changing the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image are provided, and one of the conditions is satisfied (the above-mentioned fluctuation display results in big hit hit storage etc. The display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed in accordance with.

  Furthermore, even if there is no pending storage in which the variable display result is a big hit and the pending display in which the variation display is performed by the pending storage or super reach variation pattern occurs, the operation is performed based on the execution of the predetermined number of the variation display. The display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as a suggestion image may be changed. By doing this, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggesting image is obtained even when there is no pending storage in which the variable display result is a big hit, and the variable display is performed with the variation pattern of the super reach. Since the display mode of can be changed, the player can be made to pay attention to the display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation promotion image during the variable display of the predetermined number of times. Can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the fifth modification, when a pending storage in which the variation display results in a big hit occurs during multiple variation displays under a specific condition, the remaining number of times in the variation display in which the variation display results in a big hit After the temporary stop / re-variation of the effect design is executed over the number of times corresponding to the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5, the player presses the push button 31B. It may be informed that the variable display result is a big hit based on the operation.

  Further, when the second reach effect is executed in the embodiment and the variation display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit), after the image of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 In the embodiment, the second embodiment performs effects after the second operation based on the operation of the push button 31B to report that the variable display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit), but the present invention is limited thereto In the sixth modification, when the second reach effect is executed and the variation display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit), an image of the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5 is obtained. After displaying 210, after the second operation effect is executed without displaying the image of the push button 31B as the action promoting image, and the fluctuation display result is a big hit (probable It may be provided when indicating that a Ri). By doing this, it is possible to give the game unexpectedness and improve the fun of the game.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment illustrated the form which provides only one display mode of the image 230 of push button 31B as an operation promotion image in the case of performing 3rd reach production, this invention is limited to this Instead of this, as a seventh modification, a plurality of display modes of the operation promotion image in the case of executing the third reach effect may be provided. In this case, when a plurality of display modes of the operation promotion image in the case of executing the third reach effect are provided, the operation promotion image of the first display mode (for example, an image of the white push button 31B as the operation promotion image And an operation promotion image of the second display mode (for example, an image of the red push button 31B as the operation promotion image) in which the proportion controlled to the big hit gaming state is higher than the operation promotion image of the first display mode When the operation prompting image is displayed in the first display mode, the operation prompting image corresponding to the first display mode (for example, the image of the white push button 31B as the operation suggesting image) can be displayed. When the operation prompting image is displayed in the second display mode, the operation suggesting image corresponding to the second display mode (for example, the image of the red push button 31B as the operation suggesting image) ) That it allows displaying the, it may be made to focus the player on the display mode of the operation suggestion images. Furthermore, when the third reach effect is performed in any one of the patterns 1 to 3 for displaying the operation promotion image, the operation promotion image is displayed in the second display mode (image of the red push button 31B as the operation promotion image). Even in the case of displaying images, the player is given unexpectedness by displaying the operation suggestion image (image of the white push button 31B as the operation suggestion image) corresponding to the first display mode, You may improve the interest to the display.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the variation display of the variation pattern of the super reach, an embodiment is exemplified in which one of the first reach effect to the third reach effect as the motion suggestion effect and the motion effect in the present invention is executed. The motion suggestive effect and the motion effect in the invention may be executed as a preview effect during fluctuation before the reach effect during the fluctuation display, or an effect of notifying the number of rounds of the big hit game during the big hit game, a big hit game You may perform as an effect | action which alert | reports whether definite variation control is performed after completion | finish.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the variation display of the variation pattern of the super reach, an embodiment is exemplified in which only one of the first reach effect to the third reach effect is executed as the operation suggestive effect and the operation effect in the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any of the effects of the first reach effect to the third reach effect can be displayed in the other variable display (for example, the above-mentioned advance notice during the fluctuation etc.) By performing as (1), the motion suggestion effect and the motion effect in the present invention may be executed twice or more during the same change display.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A are illustrated as the detection means in the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the detection means of the present invention measures the proximity of the player. It may be an infrared sensor capable of detection, a motion sensor capable of detecting an action of a player, or the like.

  Further, although the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, gaming balls having a predetermined number of balls are inside the gaming machine In addition, the number of balls that have been enclosed so as to be able to circulate and is lent out in response to a player's request for lending, and the number of prize balls awarded in response to winnings are added, while the number of gaming balls used in the game is subtracted. The present invention can also be applied to so-called enclosed game machines that are stored. In these enclosed game machines, not the gaming balls but points or points are awarded to the player, so the points or points given are the game values.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in order to notify the CPU for effect control 120 of the fluctuation pattern indicating the fluctuation mode such as the fluctuation time and the type of reach effect, an example of transmitting one fluctuation pattern designation command when the fluctuation is started Although shown, the variation pattern may be notified to the CPU 120 for effect control by two or more commands. Specifically, when notifying by two commands, the CPU 103 uses, for example, the first command, a fluctuation time or fluctuation mode before reaching reach (before reaching a so-called second stop if not reaching reach). The second command indicates the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode after reaching the reach (after reaching a so-called second stop if not reaching), such as the type of reach and the presence of re-lottery effect. The command may be transmitted, or only the fluctuation time may be notified by the first command and the second command, and the CPU 120 for effect control regarding the specific fluctuation mode executed at each timing. The selection may be made by When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, and after sending the first command, after a predetermined period has elapsed (for example, the next timer interrupt) And the second command may be sent. As described above, by notifying a change pattern by two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data which must be stored as a change pattern specification command.

  Further, in the above embodiment, although the game ball is shot out from below the game area by the ball striking device, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the ball striking device may be pachinko game machine 1 The game ball may be launched from the upper position of the game area by providing the game ball at the upper position of the game area.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the embodiment is exemplified in which only the big hit that can obtain many game balls is generated by opening the big winning opening in the big hit game, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the probability variation big hit B is significantly shortened, the opening time of the big winning opening in the round game is remarkably shortened, and the occurrence of the probability variation big hitting B suddenly causes the player not to recognize that the big winning opening is opened. It may be a sudden big hit that appears to have become a definite change state. In addition, when making these definite variation big hit B the high definite probability big hit, the small hit opening the big winning opening with the same opening pattern as the opening pattern of the big winning opening in the big hit game of the positive variation big hit B, It is possible to generate a state (so-called latent state) in which it is unclear whether the gaming state after the occurrence of the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is in the high certainty state or the low certainty state. Furthermore, in the case of providing a small hit, small hits are frequently made in high base middle (high probability high base state or low probability high base status), and the player can continuously obtain a prize ball by these frequent small hits. You may do so. Incidentally, in a pachinko gaming machine where the player can continuously obtain a winning ball by a small hit that frequently appears in this manner, effects equivalent to the first reach effect to the third reach effect in the above embodiment are executed, and these effects You may be asked whether the condition in which small hits occur frequently continues or ends.

  Further, in the above embodiment, although the form in which the starting winning opening is made into two, the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the starting winning opening is The number of start winning openings may be three or more.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which made the special symbol two in 1st special drawing and 2nd special drawing is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, Only one special symbol is one It is good also as three or more special symbols.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B respectively variably display a plurality of types of special symbols including the final stop symbol as a display result, and then stop the final stop symbol Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention stops display of the final stop design after variably displaying a plurality of special symbols without including the final stop design as a display result. It may be That is, the final stop symbol to be the display result may be a symbol different from the special symbol used for the variable display.

  The state advantageous to the player includes specific game states (such as a big hit) that are advantageous to the player who can acquire many game media, and plural types of specific game states (such as different expected values of game media that can be acquired) Big hit etc. with different number of rounds), high base state (time saving state) where the condition of award ball payout is more easily established than in normal gaming state, high probability gaming state (high probability state) And a special reach state (eg, super reach), and a state in which the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern based on a jackpot fluctuation pattern.

  In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine as an example of a gaming machine, but the game is started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using, for example, gaming value The variation display result is derived by the effect display device capable of fluctuating and displaying plural kinds of symbols that can be identified and each game is ended, and the variation display result derived on the effect display device The present invention can also be applied to a slot machine in which a prize can be generated accordingly.

  For example, in a slot machine, the ART continues or ends by executing an effect corresponding to the first reach effect or the third reach effect in one variable display (one game) in the ART. The player may be made to pay attention to whether the addition of the number of games occurs or whether the addition of the number of games is easily controlled.

  Also, in the slot machine, the ART continues or ends by executing an effect corresponding to the second reach effect over a plurality of variable displays (a plurality of games) in the ART, or The player may be made to pay attention to whether or not an increase in the number of games occurs. In addition, when the effect equivalent to the second reach effect is executed over a plurality of games in the ART, for example, the push button as the operation suggestion image every time a specific combination such as cherry or watermelon is won In the final game, the display mode of the image 210 is changed, and in the final game, the image 230 of the push button as the operation promotion image is “small” at a different ratio according to the display mode of the image 210 of the push button as the operation suggestion image. Or, it may be displayed as "large". Note that the display mode of the image 210 of the push button as the operation suggestion image may be changed based on that the replay or a part of the bell is won.

  As described above, in the slot machine, by executing the effects corresponding to the first reach effect to the third reach effect, it is possible to determine whether the ART continues or ends, or whether the addition of the number of games occurs. But the present invention is not limited to this, and the effects corresponding to the first reach effect to the third reach effect in the slot machine, whether the bonus has been won, or won After displaying the image 210 of the push button as the operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device, indicating the role played, the image 230 of the push button as the operation promotion image of the display area is displayed, Based on the operation of the push button according to the above, notification of the bonus being won may be performed as an effect after the operation, a suggestion of the winning combination, or the like may be executed.
