Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine for playing a game.

  As a game machine, when a game ball is shot by a launch device into a game area by a launch device and the game ball is won in a prize area such as a prize port provided in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player. There is something to In addition, a variable display device capable of variably displaying identification information (also referred to as "variation") is provided, and when the display result of the variable display of identification information on the variable display device is a specific display result, Therefore, there is one configured to give a predetermined gaming value to the player by changing the state of the machine, specifically, the state in which the gaming machine is controlled (so-called pachinko machine).

  In addition, after setting a predetermined number of bets for a predetermined game medium to one game, the player operates the start lever to start variable display of identification information by the variable display device, and the player changes each variable By operating a stop button provided corresponding to the display device, variable display of identification information is stopped within a predetermined maximum delay time range from the operation timing, and variable display of all variable display devices is performed. When a prize is generated according to the display result derived when the game is stopped, a predetermined gaming medium predetermined according to the prize is paid out, and a specific prize is generated, the gaming state is determined to be a predetermined gaming value to the player There is one which is configured to be in a state of giving to (so-called slot machine).

  In addition, with the game value, the variable winning ball device provided in the game area of the game machine generates a right to be in an advantageous state for the player who is likely to win a hit, or to be in an advantageous state for the player. In other words, the conditions for winning balls and for winning balls are easily established.

  In pachinko gaming machines, a specific display mode defined in advance is derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display of the special symbol (identification information) started on the variable display device based on the game ball having won the start winning opening. If you do, a "big hit" occurs. In addition, derivation | leading-out display is making a symbol (final stop symbol) finally stop-display. When a big hit occurs, for example, the big winning opening is opened a predetermined number of times, and a transition is made to a big hit gaming state in which a hit ball tends to be won. And, in each opening period, when there are winnings to a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the large winning openings, the large winning openings are closed. The number of times of opening the special winning opening is fixed to a predetermined number (for example, 15 rounds). In addition, an open time (for example, 29 seconds) is determined for each open, and even if the number of winnings does not reach a predetermined number, the special winning opening is closed when the open time elapses. Hereinafter, the opening period of each big winning opening may be referred to as a round. Also, a game in a round may be called a round game.

  Furthermore, in the variable display device, symbols other than the symbol to be the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol of the left middle right symbol) continue for a predetermined time, and stop and shake in a state consistent with the specific display result. Motion, scaling, or deformation, or multiple symbols fluctuating in synchronization with the same symbol, or the positions of display symbols are changed, and a big hit can occur before the final result is displayed An effect performed in a state in which the sex continues (hereinafter, these states are referred to as a reach state) is referred to as a reach effect. In addition, reach state and the appearance are called reach mode. Furthermore, variable display including reach production is called reach variable display. Then, when the display result of the symbol variably displayed on the variable display device is not a specific display result, it becomes “off”, and the fluctuation display state is ended. A player plays while enjoying how to generate a big hit.

  In such a gaming machine, performing a promotion notification (for example, display of the operation instruction mark 57) that urges the player's action is described in Cited Reference 1.

It is rotatably supported around the heart. Concave grooves are formed spirally on the circumferential surfaces of the guide shafts 306L and 306R.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 to 25, the first drive mechanism 303 is provided with lifting motors 308L and 308R for rotationally driving the guide shafts 306L and 306R via gears (not shown), and the lifting motor 308L , 308R rotate the guide shafts 306L, 306R about the axis. Further, the convex portions of the arms 309L and 309R extending in the left and right direction from the first movable body 302 are fitted in the groove portions of the guide shafts 306L and 306R, and the guide shafts 306L and 306R are rotated to rotate the guide shafts. The first movable body 302 moves up and down along 306L and 306R.

  The elevator motors 308L and 308R are so-called stepping motors that rotate a predetermined angle according to pulse signals, and the effect control CPU 120 controls the position of the first movable body 302 according to the pulse signals transmitted to the elevator motors 308L and 308R. Take control. Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 recognizes how many steps the elevation motors 308L and 308R should be driven to move the first movable body 302 from the first position to the second position. . That is, it is possible to identify that the first movable body 302 has moved to the first position or the second position by the number of drive steps. Since the first drive mechanism 303 includes the lower position detection switch 313, the intermediate position detection switch 314, and the upper position detection switch 315, the position of the first movable body 302 can also be controlled using these.

  Furthermore, the first drive mechanism 303 is provided above the left side portion 301 b and the right side portion 301 c, and holds the first movable body 302 at a position (first position) overlapping the decorative body 380 in the front-rear direction. The effect solenoids 318L and 318R (see FIG. 2) are provided.

  When the effect solenoids 318L and 318R are off, the locking members provided on the effect solenoids 318L and 318R lock the arms 309L and 309R to hold the first movable body 302 in the first position. Thus, it is possible to suppress dropping and turning due to vibration or the like in the first turning state at the first position. Further, when the effect solenoids 318L and 318R are on, the locking member retracts from the arms 309L and 309R side, and the locking state between the first movable body 302 and the locking member is released. The first movable body 302 can be moved to the second position. The first movable body 302 is urged upward by, for example, a constant load spring or the like to assist the holding state at the first position, the vertical movement between the first position and the second position, and the like. It may be

  Although the first movable body 302 is moved up and down by the guide shafts 306L and 306R, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention is not limited to this. The movable body 302 may move up and down.

  As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the first movable body 302 includes a box-like portion 302A having a substantially rectangular shape in cross section and the arms 309L and 309R described above, and the arms 309L and 309R and the box It is rotatable relative to the shape portion 302A. The rear face of the box-like portion 302A in the first pivoting state is a pivoting surface facing upward in the second pivoting state, and this pivoting surface is constituted by the lid member 319 which can be opened and closed (see FIG. 21). The lid member 319 is pivotally supported by a pivot extending in the left-right direction. The pivotable range of the lid member 319 is less than 90 degrees by a stopper portion (not shown) provided on the box-like portion 302A.

  The second drive mechanism 304 includes, for example, a rotation motor 350 attached to one or both of the arms 309L and 309R, a gear for transmitting the driving force of the rotation motor 350 to the box portion 302A, and the first movable body 302. Initial position switch 351 for detecting a first rotational state of the first movable body, and a deployed position switch 352 for detecting a second rotational state of the first movable body 302. On the other hand, the box-like portion 302A is turned.

  The rotation motor 350 is a so-called stepping motor that rotates a predetermined angle according to a pulse signal, and the effect control CPU 120 performs rotation control of the first movable body 302 by a pulse signal transmitted to the rotation motor 350. . In addition, since the initial position switch 351 and the developed position switch 352 are provided, the rotation state of the first movable body 302 can also be controlled using these.

  As shown in FIG. 21, a protrusion 370 is installed inside the box-like portion 302A. The protrusion 370 includes a first effect member 375, a second effect member 376, and a third effect member 377, and the first effect member 375, the second effect member 376, and the third effect member 377. Is slidable in the direction of projecting outward from the box-like portion 302A.

  The protrusion 370 can be changed between the storage state and the projection state by the third drive mechanism 305. The third drive mechanism 305 includes, for example, an extendable pantograph mechanism, a projection motor 360 for applying a driving force to the pantograph mechanism via a gear or the like, and a storage position switch 361 for detecting when the protrusion 370 is stored. And an open / close mechanism (for example, a rack gear, a pivot arm, etc.) for transmitting the driving force of the motor for projection 360 to the lid member 319 of the box-like portion 302A. ing.

  In the first movable body 302, the lid member 319 of the box-like portion 302A is opened via the opening and closing mechanism by the driving of the protrusion motor 360, and the pantograph mechanism is extended to make the first effect member 375 and the second effect member 376. , And the third effect member 377 is slid so as to protrude outward from the box-like portion 302A.

  The protrusion motor 360 is a so-called stepping motor which rotates at a predetermined angle in accordance with a pulse signal, and the effect control CPU 120 controls the protrusion operation of the protrusion 370 by the pulse signal transmitted to the protrusion motor 360. Further, since the initial position switch 351 and the developed position switch 352 are provided, the rotation state of the first movable body 302 can also be controlled using these.

  Next, the first operation and the second operation of the first movable body 302 will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21. As shown in FIG. 20, when moving the first movable body 302 from the first position to the second position, the lid member 319 is placed on the back side from the first rotation state in which the lid member 319 is disposed on the back side. Changes to the second rotation state disposed above. At this time, the first movable body 302 is rotated forward by about 92 degrees. That is, in the first movable body 302 changed to the second rotation state, the lid member 319 is inclined about 2 degrees to the front side. In the first movable body 302 that has been changed to the second rotation state, the rotation motor 350 is excited and the first movable body 302 is maintained in the rotation stop state, so that the lid member 319 moves forward about 2 The inclined state is maintained. In addition, when the first movable body 302 is changed to the second rotation state, the weight part of the first movable body 302 (for example, the third drive mechanism 305 and the like) is positioned rearward of the rotation center P. It will be done.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 21, when the protrusion 370 changes from the storage state to the protrusion state (when the protrusion 370 protrudes from the inside of the box-like portion 302A), a portion of the protrusion 370 which protrudes is (For example, the second effect member 376 and the third effect member 377) are visibly superimposed on the front side of the decorative body 380 when viewed from the player, and the projection 370 is inclined about twice forward. That is, since the protrusion 370 is inclined to the opposite side to the decorative body 380 (in the direction away from the decorative body 380), the tip end side (upper end side) of the protrusion 370 when the protrusion 370 protrudes from the storage state to the protruding state However, even if the first movable body 302 swings in the rotational direction, it does not easily contact the decorative body 380, and breakage or the like of the protrusion 370 and the decorative body 380 can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, in addition to the first movable body 302 being tilted forward about twice, as described above, since the pivotable range of the lid member 319 is less than 90 degrees, the protrusion 370 changes to the projecting state It is possible to avoid that the lid member 319 opened at the time of contact with the decorative body 380.

  Specifically, the protrusion dimension L30 of the protrusion 370 from the box-like portion 302A when the protrusion 370 changes from the storage state to the protrusion state is longer than the upper and lower dimensions L20 of the box-like portion 302A in the protrusion state. (L20 <L30). Furthermore, since the first effect member 375, the second effect member 376, and the third effect member 377 are disposed so as to be superimposed in the front and back in the stored state, they are gradually projected forward in the protruding state. Even if the protrusion 370 protrudes, the tip of the protrusion 370 does not abut the front glass window 50a. That is, the balance of the center of gravity of the first movable body 302 is unstable in the projecting state, and the first movable body 302 can be easily pivoted to the front side about the pivoting center P.

  However, as described above, in the projecting state, the excitation of the rotation motor 350 maintains the first movable body 302 in the rotation stop state, and the weight portion of the first movable body 302 is the first movable body. Since the first movable body 302 is located rearward of the rotation center P of 302, a force that tends to rotate backward acts on the first movable body 302, and the force and balance that the projection 370 tends to tilt forward Thus, the rotation of the first movable body 302 can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, even if the box-like portion 302A is stopped rotating, the tip end side of the pantograph mechanism is easily rocked, and the projection dimension L30 of the protrusion 370 is greater than the upper and lower dimension L20 of the box-like portion 302A in the projecting state. Since the tip of the protrusion 370 is likely to rock back and forth because it is too long, a predetermined space is formed before and after the tip of the protrusion 370. It is difficult to abut the glass window 50a.

  The first movable body 302 configured in this way is movable and rotatable between the first position and the second position by the first operation, and is movable by the second operation at the second position. The protrusion 370 is provided so as to be changeable from the stored state to the protruding state.

  Here, based on FIG. 22 to FIG. 25, the movable body effect executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the fluctuation display based on the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern described later will be described.

  The effect control CPU 120 moves the first movable body 302 from the first state, which is positioned at the first position to the second position, by the lowering operation (the first operation), when executing movable object effect in the variable display of the effect pattern. After moving and changing from the first rotation state to the second rotation state in the middle of lowering, the state is changed to the second state located at the second position, and then the standby state is made in that state. Then, when the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is received within the operation valid period, or when the operation valid period elapses without receiving any operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, a big hit fluctuation pattern If there is, the first operation control is performed to cause the protrusion 370 to perform the protrusion operation (second operation) from the storage state to the protrusion state (see FIGS. 22 to 24), and to notify that the variation display result is a big hit It is possible to execute movable object presentation based on the presentation pattern.

  On the other hand, in the case of the out-of-out fluctuation pattern, the second state is maintained without causing the projection 370 to move from the storage state to the projection state (second operation), and a second effect notifying that the fluctuation display result is out It is possible to execute a movable object presentation based on a pattern. Thereafter, return operation control is performed to return the first movable body 302 from the second position to the first position by the upward movement, and after the first movable body 302 returns to the first position, the movable body effect is ended.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the relief effect when executing the movable body effect (see FIG. 25). The relief effect is a notification that the variable display result is a big hit before the variable display ends after the effect based on the second effect pattern that once reports that the variable display result is off is executed. It is an effect based on an effect pattern.

  Specifically, after moving the first movable body 302 to the second position, when the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is received within the operation valid period, or either of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. The second state is maintained without changing the protrusion 370 from the storage state to the projection state by the projection operation (second operation) when the operation effective period passes without accepting the operation of If there is a notification that there is a recovery operation control, and if it is the start timing of the relief effect (hereinafter referred to as the rescue timing), the recovery operation control in progress is interrupted and the first movable body is Stopping the upward movement of the second gear 302 and moving between the first position and the second position by an operation (first corresponding operation) corresponding to the downward movement (first operation); By moving the protrusion 370 from the storage position to the second position after moving it to the second position from the middle position, the second operation control is performed to change the protrusion 370 from the storage state to the projection state, and the fluctuation display result is a big hit. Informing that it is. After that, return operation control is executed, the first movable body 302 is returned to the first position, and the relief effect is ended.

  Here, an example of the effect aspect of the movable body effect in the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. 22 to FIG. FIG. 22: (A)-(D) is explanatory drawing which shows the flow which a 1st movable body moves to a 2nd position from a 1st position. FIG. 23: (A)-(D) is explanatory drawing which shows the flow from which a protrusion becomes a storage state-a protrusion state, and a protrusion state-storage state. FIG. 24: (A)-(D) is explanatory drawing which shows the flow which a 1st movable body moves to a 1st position from a 2nd position.

  First, as shown in FIG. 22A, the CPU 120 for effect control starts super reach effect, for example, after the reach state is established during predetermined change display. At this time, the first movable body 302 is disposed at the first position in the first rotation state. Here, in order to aid understanding, the surface facing forward in the first rotation state is referred to as A surface, and the surface facing upward in the first rotation state is referred to as B surface.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (B), the effect control CPU 120 performs a first operation to move the first movable body 302 downward from the first position to the second position at a predetermined timing during execution of the super reach effect. Start (moveable body effect start). At this time, the first movable body 302 moves downward to the second position while being excited so that the A-side faces the player (front side).

  When the first movable body 302 moves from the first position toward the second position by a predetermined distance, as shown in FIG. 22C, the first movable body 302 descends at a position halfway between the first position and the second position. The rotation state is changed to the second rotation state. At this time, since the first movable body 302 is located below the decorative body 380, the first movable body 302 does not contact the decorative body 380 even if it is rotated.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22D, when the first movable body 302 reaches the second position, the descent movement is stopped, and the second movable state is brought into a second rotational state, and the rotational movement is stopped. That is, the first operation of the first movable body 302 is completed. At this time, the first movable body 302 is excited so as to maintain the state in which the side A faces downward and the side B faces the player (front side), and the side B is inclined about 2 degrees forward. doing.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 23A, the effect control CPU 120 causes the effect display device 5 to display an operation promotion image for urging the operation of the stick controller 31A and starts an operation valid period. Specifically, on the display screen of the effect display device 5, the effect control CPU 120 controls the first movable body 302 disposed at the second position, which is the front side of the display screen, and the origin position of the first movable body 302. The operation promotion image is displayed at a display position which the player can visually recognize from between the decorative body 380 disposed at the upper part of the effect display device 5 which is a position corresponding to. In addition, although the form which displays an operation promotion image between the 1st movable body 302 and the decoration body 380 was illustrated in the present Example, this invention is not limited to this, The display of the effect display apparatus 5 The screen may be displayed in an area (non-overlapping area) other than the overlapping area with the first movable body 302 disposed on the front side of the display screen.

  Then, when the player receives (detects) the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the stick controller 31A, as shown in FIG. 23B, the lid member 319 is opened. As shown in FIG. 23C, the protrusion 370 is changed from the storage state to the protrusion state by the protrusion operation (second operation). At this time, the protrusion 370 protrudes in a state in which the protrusion 370 is inclined about 2 degrees to the front side. Therefore, since the space between the protrusion 370 and the decorative body 380 can be taken large, even if the first movable body 302 is inclined rearward by the protruding force, the protrusion 370 and the decorative body 380 contact. Can be suppressed.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 23D, when the predetermined time has passed since the protrusion 370 changed to the protrusion state, the protrusion 370 is changed from the protrusion state to the storage state by the storing operation (return operation). The protrusion 370 is accommodated in the first movable body 302, and the lid member 319 is closed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 24A, the first movable body 302 is moved from the second position to the first position while being pivoted from the second pivoting state to the first pivoting state by the return operation. Move up. When the first movable body 302 is in the first rotation state, the first movable body 302 is inclined rearward by the momentum of the rotation and the weight of the lid member 319. At this time, the end 319 b of the lid member 319 which is inclined is positioned rearward of the decorative body 380 at a position below the decorative body 380 (third rotation state). The end 319 b of the lid member 319 is also excited so that the side A of the first movable body 302 faces the player (front side) and the side A faces the player (front side). .

  Then, the cover member 319 of the first movable body 302 is inclined forward by a predetermined angle before reaching the decorative body 380, and at least the end 319b of the cover member 319 which is inclined is positioned forward of the decorative body 380 Fourth rotation state). At this time, the lid member 319 is closed by the momentum of the rotation of the first movable body 302. Then, as shown in FIG. 24B, when the first movable body 302 passes the lower end of the decorative body 380 and reaches the vicinity of the first position, the first movable body 302 returns to the first rotation state. . Thereby, even if the lid member 319 is inclined rearward when the first movable body 302 is returned to the first rotation state, the decorative body 380 restricts the further inclination toward the rear side. Then, the uniform symbol is displayed on the effect display device 5, and the movable object effect is ended.

  Next, an example of the relief effect in the movable body effect will be described based on FIG. FIG. 25: (A)-(G) is explanatory drawing which shows an example of a relief production.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (A), after effect control CPU 120 executes the first operation of first movable body 302, operation effect display device 5 urging operation of stick controller 31A is displayed on effect display device 5 for operation. Start effective period. When the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is accepted within the operation valid period, or when the operation valid period has elapsed without accepting any operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 4, the effect display device 5 displays an image (disappointing ...) indicating a shift without changing the protrusion 370 into the protrusion state.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 25C, the first movable body 302 is moved upward from the second position to the first position while being rotated from the second rotation state to the first rotation state. Then, when the relief timing comes during the upward movement of the first movable body 302 from the second position to the first position, as shown in FIG. 25 (D), it is between the second position and the first position. The rising of the first movable body 302 is stopped at an intermediate position.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 25E, the first movable body 302 is moved from the first rotation state to the second rotation state from the middle position to the second position by the first corresponding operation. Move downward again. Then, the descent is stopped when the first movable body 302 reaches the second position, and the lid member 319 is opened as shown in FIG. 25 (F), and the protrusion 370 is stored by the second operation. Change from the state to the protruding state. Thereafter, the protrusion 370 is housed in the first movable body 302, and as shown in FIG. 25G, the first movable body 302 is rotated from the second rotation state to the first rotation state. While raising from the second position to the first position and stopping at the first position, the uniform display is displayed on the effect display device 5, and the relief effect is ended.

In addition, although the speaker 8L, 8R functions as a sound output means and the example in which the audio | voice control board 13 functions as a sound control means was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this. For example, the function of the sound control means may be configured by the effect control board 12 or may be configured by the effect control board 12 and the sound control board 13. Further, the voice control board 13 may be incorporated in the speakers 8L and 8R to form a speaker unit.

  A decoder (not shown) reads compressed audio data from the audio data (not shown) according to an instruction (command) from the effect control board 12 (CPU 120 for effect control), and decodes (decodes) the read audio data. To stretch). The decoder (not shown) has 32 channels (reproduction channels 0 to 31) as reproduction channels of audio, and can simultaneously reproduce 32 independent types of audio. In this embodiment, two channels are paired to output stereo sound, and 16 types of stereo sound can be reproduced simultaneously. That is, the effect control board 12 can reproduce the sound on the reproduction channel with a predetermined reproduction setting (one-time reproduction, repeat reproduction, etc.) simply by transmitting the command to the sound control board 13. Also, it is not necessary to transmit the audio data to 13, nor the information of the reproduction setting.

  The voice data ROM (not shown) compresses and stores voice data of voice used for effects and the like. The audio data may be stored in the ROM of the effect control board 12 or another storage device. An output interface (not shown) mixes audio data decoded and reproduced in each channel of a decoder (not shown). Then, the mixed audio data (digital data) is converted into analog data, and the converted analog data is amplified and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The volume outputted from the speakers 8L and 8R is determined by a predetermined volume setting.

  In this embodiment, for example, reproduction channels 0 and 1 are used to reproduce normal fluctuation sound, background sound during reach, etc., and operation sound of the movable body (for example, first effect sound (third effect sound described later), Reproduction channel 2 is used for reproduction of the second effect sound etc.), reproduction channel 3 is used for reproduction of hold change sound as pre-reading effect, and reproduction channel 4 is used for reproduction of other pre-reading sound During reach, reproduction channel 5 is used for reproduction of chance up, reproduction channel 6 is used for reproduction of notice effect sound etc.... Reproduction channels 30, 31 are used for reproduction of error sound .

  Audios using different reproduction channels can be reproduced and output simultaneously. For example, it is possible to reproduce and output an audio of a notice effect during reproduction and output of a normal fluctuation sound. This makes it possible to output a variety of voices in which a plurality of voices are superimposed. In addition, by fixing the reproduction channel according to the type of audio, interference between the audios can be prevented. For example, by fixing the reproduction channel (1) for reproducing and outputting the normal fluctuation sound, the interference of the normal fluctuation sound can be prevented. Similarly, by fixing the reproduction channel (30, 31) for reproducing and outputting the error sound, the interference of the error sound can be prevented. In addition, it is impossible to simultaneously play a plurality of audios set to one channel.

  Also, it is preferable to use different playback channels for playback of audio that may be output simultaneously. For example, a previewing effect (SU or serif) for giving notice of the display result of the variable display being executed, etc., and a previewing notice effect for giving notice of the display result of the variable display to be executed after the variable display being executed, Even if it is the same pre-read advance notice effect, the pre-read notice effect or the like that is on hold change at the starting winning combination may be executed at the same time because the advance notice target is different. Therefore, it is preferable to use different reproduction channels for reproducing these sounds. As described above, by making the reproduction channel different, it is possible to prevent the interference sound of the advance notice during the fluctuation and the advance notice advance notice from interfering with each other. And, even in the case where the notice effect during preview and the advance notice effect for preview are performed in duplicate, the sound of each effect can be reproduced and output.

  In addition, since the number of reproduction channels is limited, it is necessary to use the same reproduction channel for reproduction of audio not simultaneously output. Also, as will be described later, as in the movable body effect (first effect sound + second effect sound), the sound data of the sound combining plural kinds of sounds are put together and reproduced by one reproduction channel. Thus, the amount of data can be reduced and the processing load can be reduced.

  The LED control board 14 is a control board for LED output control provided separately from the effect control board 12 and provided on the effect LED 9 and each movable body based on commands and control data from the effect control board 12 and the like. The LED driver circuit etc. which perform lighting / light-extinguishing drive of the movable body LED (not shown) etc. are mounted.

The random number value not counted by the random number circuit 104 It is good to count by updating numerical data of.

  FIG. 4 shows the variation pattern of this embodiment. In the present embodiment, a plurality of fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. 4 are prepared in advance. Specifically, in the present embodiment, among the cases in which the variation display result is “off”, the variation display mode of the rendering symbol is “non-reach” and corresponds to the case of “reach”, respectively. In addition, a plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the fluctuation display result is a "big hit" or the like.

  The reach effect of normal reach is executed for the big hit fluctuation pattern which is the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the fluctuation display result is "big hit", and the reach fluctuation pattern when the fluctuation display mode of the production design is "reach" There are a normal reach fluctuation pattern and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which super reach reach effects such as super reach α and super reach β are 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. 4, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in the present 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.

  Further, the super reach α is a variation pattern in which the movable object effect using the first movable body 302 is not performed, and the super reach β is a variation pattern in which the movable object effect is performed. Further, as described later, super reach β includes super reach β in which the relief effect is not performed after the super reach effect, and super reach β in which the relief effect is performed after the super reach effect.

  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. 5 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.

  Before the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed in the special drawing game of the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B, the display result judgment table is in the big hit gaming state with the variable display result as the "big hit". It is a table referenced to determine whether to control based on the random value MR1.

  In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, a numerical value (compared to the random value MR1 depending on whether the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) or the probability variation state (high probability state) A judgment value) is assigned to the "big hit" or "off" special map display result.

  In the display result determination table, determination data is allocated to the determination result as to whether or not the special view display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit". Specifically, in 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 figure display result. In this way, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" when in the normal state or the short time state (low probable state) in the positive variation state where high probability control is performed Compared to (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 is the high probability state, the probability that it is determined to control the big hit gaming state is higher than when it is in the normal state or the short time state, The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state.

  In the ROM 101, when it is determined to control to a big hit gaming state, a big hit type determination table or random number value MR3 that is referred to determine a big hit type to any one of a plurality of types based on the random value MR2. A variation pattern determination table for determining a variation pattern based on one of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 4 described above is also stored.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the passage of the gaming ball through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10, a regular game with the normal symbol display device 20 is started. After starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, if the specified time which becomes the common drawing fluctuation time elapses, and the normal symbol other than the common drawing is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is "general drawing is off" Become. If a specific normal symbol (normal symbol per symbol) is stopped and displayed, the variation display result of the normal symbol becomes "per common symbol" and the open control is such that the movable plate of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is retracted from the game area 10. The normal opening control is performed to return to the closed position projecting to the game area 10 when the predetermined time has elapsed.

  For example, based on the fact that the first start condition has been established, for example, due to the end of the previous special view game or the big hit gaming state after the first start condition is established after the game ball has won the first start winning opening etc. , A special drawing game by the first special symbol display 4A is started. In addition, after the second start condition is satisfied by the game ball winning the second start winning opening, etc., the second start condition is satisfied by, for example, the end of the previous special view game or the big hit gaming state. Based on the special symbol game by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special drawing game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, when the variable display time elapses, the finalized special symbol (special drawing display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, it becomes "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "off". 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 jackpot gaming state, a period until the predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, nine pieces) of winning balls of the special winning hole device of the special variable winning ball device 7 In the period until the occurrence of, the big winning opening will be in the open state. As a result, a round is performed in which the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is brought 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 the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, variable display of effect symbols is started in response to the start of the special drawing game. And in a period from the start of the fluctuation display of the production design to the end of the fluctuation display, the fluctuation display state of the production design may be in a predetermined reach state. In 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 display is continuously changing for the effect pattern that is not stopped and displayed yet. A state or a display state in which all or a part of the production symbols are fluctuating in synchronization while constituting all or a part of the jackpot combination.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special drawing game, a fixed effect symbol which is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as "non-probable variation big hit combination") is displayed in a stop among a plurality of big hit combinations, and a variation display result is When it becomes "", it is controlled to a big hit state, and time shortening control (time saving control) is performed after the end. 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, so-called electric chew 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. 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.

  As a fixed special symbol in a special drawing game, a fixed effect symbol which is a predetermined probability variation big hit combination (also referred to as a “positive variation big hit combination”) among a plurality of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed, and a variation display result is “positive variation big hit” When it becomes, it is controlled to the big hit state, and the probability fluctuation control (probability change control) is performed with time saving control after the end. By performing this probability change control, the probability that the variable display result will be a "big hit" in the special drawing game of each time is improved to be higher than that in the normal state. The probability change control is a predetermined number of times after the end of the big hit gaming state (for example, 100 same as the number of time reductions) when the condition that the variation display result is “big hit” after the end of the big hit gaming state and the big hit gaming state is controlled again When a special figure game is played, the decision of "with a definite change fall" is made to end the definite change control in the definite change fall lottery which is executed each time the special view game is started after the end of the big hit gaming state When and so on, it should end.

  When time saving control is performed, control to shorten the fluctuation time of the normal symbol (general drawing fluctuation time) in the regular drawing game than in the normal state, or the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol in each regular drawing game Control to improve the probability of becoming a “hit” compared to that in the normal state, and the movement control time for performing movement control of the movable plate in the normally variable winning ball device 6B based on the fluctuation display result being “per common” The game ball is likely to pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control to be longer than in the state, and control to increase the number of movements more than in the normal state, and the second start condition may be established. The control (electric chew support control, high open control) that is advantageous to the player is performed by As a result, the second start condition for executing the special view game using the second special view can be easily established, and the special view game can be executed frequently, so that the variation display result is "big hit" next. The time to become is reduced.

  In addition, based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100, the effect control CPU 120 can execute various effects related to the game, such as variable display control of the effect pattern and a notice effect. ing.

  For example, as a notice effect performed by the CPU 120 for effect control during variable display of the effect pattern, a big hit notice effect indicating the possibility of a big hit, a reach notice indicating whether or not to reach, and a stop pattern It includes a plurality of notices executed at the time of variable display start or reach establishment, such as a stop symbol notice, and a latent notice for giving a notice of whether the gaming state is a probability fluctuation state (latency) or not.

  In this embodiment, various effects such as movable body effects such as the first movable body 302, the second movable bodies 402L and 402R, the speakers 8L and 8R, and the effect LED 9 of the effect unit 300 and various notices described above are made executable. ing.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of 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 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 is performed.

  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. 6 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 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). Thereafter, a predetermined information output process is executed (S13).

  Next, a 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 by software is executed (S14). Thereafter, the special symbol process shown in FIG. 7 is executed (S15).

  Following the special symbol process processing, the display operation (for example, lighting and extinguishing of the segment LED, etc.) on the normal symbol display 20 is controlled, and the variation display of the normal symbol and the tilting of the movable wing of the normally variable winning ball device 6B are performed. A normal symbol process process for performing operation setting etc. is executed (S16). Thereafter, by executing the command control process, the control command is transmitted (outputted) from the main substrate 11 to the sub-side control substrate such as the effect control substrate 12 (S17).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. In the special symbol process process, first, the start winning process is executed (S21). Thereafter, depending on the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152, one of the processes of S22 to S29 is selected and executed.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether 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 random value MR1, MR2 and MR3 are extracted, and they are stored at the top of the vacant entry of the first special drawing reservation storage section if they are the first starting winning combination, and they are the second special drawing reservation if they are the second starting winning combination. Store at the top of the free entry in the storage unit.

  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, it is determined whether or not to start the special drawing game based on the presence or absence of the pending data. In addition, based on numerical data indicating the random number value MR1, it is determined (predetermined) whether or not the variable display result is to be "big hit" before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, a determined special symbol (either a big hit symbol or an off symbol) is set in accordance with the variable display result. Then, the value of the special drawing 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". The variation pattern setting process is a process of determining the variation pattern to any one of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 based on the preliminary determination result of whether or not the variation display result is "big hit". It is included. Then, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "2".

  The special symbol variation process of S24 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In special symbol variation processing, processing to perform setting for varying the special symbol by the first special symbol indicator 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. In addition, when the fluctuation elapsed time of the special symbol reaches the special drawing fluctuation time, the value of the special drawing 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". Special symbol stop processing includes processing to perform setting for stopping (deriving) a finalized special symbol that will be a variation display result of a special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B. It is done. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is turned on, and if the big hit flag is turned on, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". 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 the big hit opening pre-processing, on the basis of the fluctuation display result becoming “big hit” etc., the process to start the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and perform the setting to open the big winning opening include. Specifically, while setting the upper limit of the period when the big winning a prize opening state is set to “29 seconds”, the opening number of the big winning a prize opening which becomes the upper limit number of times to execute round, “non-probability variation big hit” or If it is a big hit A ", it is set to" 16 times ". On the other hand, when the big hit type is “probable variation big hit B”, the number of times of opening of the special winning opening, which is the upper limit number of times to execute the round, is set to “five times”. 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". The big hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit gaming state is executed has elapsed. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0".

  In the big hit end process, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit is read out and it is specified whether the big hit type is "non-probable variation big hit" or "probably variable big hit". 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. First, when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main processing shown in FIG. 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 by timer interrupt processing. If the timer interruption flag is set (on) in the main processing, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53), and executes the following processing.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs command analysis processing (S54). In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) the command transmitted from the main substrate 11 stored in the reception command buffer is. 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. And the process etc. which set the flag according to the received presentation control command are performed.

  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. 9 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) of 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 to correspond to the storage content of the pending storage buffer. A pending display update process for updating the 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.

  Variation Pattern Designation Command Reception Wait Processing (S73) It is checked whether a variation pattern designation command has been received from the gaming 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 processing (S74) It controls so that change of the 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).

  While controlling the switching timing and the like of each fluctuation state (fluctuation speed) which constitutes the fluctuation pattern processing during the effect design fluctuation (S75), the end of 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 processing (S76) Based on the fact that the effect control command (pattern confirmation command) instructing all symbol stop has been received, the fluctuation of the effect pattern is stopped and control to derive and display the display result (stop symbol) is performed . 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).

  After the end of the big hit display process (S77) fluctuation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of the 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).

  Big hit in game processing (S78) We control big hit in 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. 10 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). When the first variation start command reception flag is set (S271; Y), it corresponds to the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special view reservation storage in the start winning combination reception command buffer 194A. The various command data and various flags stored in the memory are shifted upward by one for each buffer number (S272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  Specifically, shift is made so as to store various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-1" of the first special view reservation storage in association with the buffer number "1-0" Shift to store various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-2” of the first special view reservation storage in association with the buffer number “1-1”, 1) Shift to store various command data and various flags stored in association with buffer number “1-3” of special view reservation storage in association with buffer number “1-2”. It shifts so that the various command data and the various flags which are stored in association with the buffer number "1-4" of the pending storage may be stored in association with the buffer number "1-3".

  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 various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” of the second special view reservation storage in the winning reception command buffer 194A are advanced by one buffer number each Shift to (S274). The contents of the buffer number “2-0” are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  Specifically, shift is made so as to store various command data and various flags stored in association with buffer number “2-1” of the second special view pending storage in association with buffer number “2-0”. Shift to store various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-2” of the second special view reservation storage in association with the buffer number “2-1”. 2 Shift so that various command data and various flags stored in association with buffer number “2-3” of special view reservation storage are stored in association with buffer number “2-2” It shifts so that the various command data and the various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-4" of the pending storage may be stored in association with the buffer number "2-3".

  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 addition, in determination of a stop symbol, CPU120 for production control extracts the random number for determining a stop symbol, for example, The stop symbol determination table with which the data which shows the combination of a production symbol, and a numerical value are matched It is sufficient to determine the stop symbol of the effect symbol by using. 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.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern identified from the fluctuation pattern designation command read out in S275 is the super reach β relief jackpot fluctuation pattern (S277). When the variation pattern is the super reach β relief big hit variation pattern (S 277; Y), the super reach β is a relief presentation for selecting the process table according to the deviation variation pattern (S 281) and setting the start timing of the relief effect. A value corresponding to the period until the relief start is set in the start waiting timer (S 282), and the process proceeds to S 283. If it is determined in S277 that the fluctuation pattern identified from the fluctuation pattern designation command read in S275 is not the super reach β relief jackpot fluctuation pattern, the processing proceeds to S280.

  In S280, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (S283).

  In the process table, 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 sound for controlling the sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data, operation detection control execution data for detecting the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A, that a predetermined effect control command has been received from the main board 11, or the effect operation is performed in the effect control CPU 120 Switching timing of presentation control corresponding to predetermined control contents and processing contents such as predetermined processing being executed as processing for control (for example, reception of operation of stick controller 31A or push button 31B) Destination data (eg, data for identifying process data of the transfer destination) There are sequentially arranged in time series in association with each process data n (up 1~N number).

  FIG. 11A shows a configuration example of each of such effect control patterns. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 12 (A), the effect control pattern includes, for example, effect control process timer determination value, display control data, voice control data, LED control data, operation detection control data, effect for use products (movable body) control It consists of process data that becomes control data for controlling various rendering operations such as data, transition destination data, end code, etc. Content of various rendering control, switching timing of rendering control, etc. are set in time series It should just be.

  The effect control process timer determination value is a value (determination value) to be compared with the effect control process timer value which is a stored value of the effect control process timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit (not shown), and each effect A determination value corresponding to the execution time of the operation (rendering time) is set in advance. Note that, instead of the effect control process timer determination value, for example, a predetermined effect control command is received from the main substrate 11, or that a predetermined process is executed as a process for controlling the effect operation in the effect control CPU 120. Data indicating the switching timing of the effect control may be set according to the predetermined control content or processing content.

  The display control data includes, for example, data indicating the display mode of the effect image in the display area of the effect display device 5, such as data indicating the change mode of each effect pattern during the fluctuation display of the effect pattern. That is, the display control data is data for specifying the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the effect display device 5. The voice control data includes, for example, data indicating an audio output mode from the speakers 8L and 8R, such as data indicating an output mode such as a sound effect interlocked with the variable display operation of the effect pattern during the variable display of the effect pattern. ing. That is, the voice control data is data for designating a voice output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R. The LED control data includes, for example, data indicating a lighting operation mode of the light emitting body such as the effect LED 9. That is, the LED control data is data specifying the lighting operation of the light emitter.

  In the operation detection control data, for example, the setting of the operation valid period for effectively detecting the instruction operation to the stick controller 31A and the instruction operation to the push button 31B, the control content of the rendering operation when each operation is effectively detected, etc. The data indicating the presentation operation mode according to the player's operation action is included, such as data designating the.

  For example, the first driving mechanism 303 for operating the first movable body 302, the second driving mechanism 304 and the third driving mechanism 305, and the fourth movable bodies 402L and 402R are used as the effect character control data. The first movable body 302, the second movable bodies 402L and 402R, and the third movable body 502 are individually divided, such as data specifying drive control contents of the drive mechanism 406 and the fifth drive mechanism 505 for operating the third movable body 502. It only needs to contain data that can be operated.

  Note that these control data do not have to be included in all of the effect control patterns, but are effect control patterns configured to include a part of control data according to the contents of the effect operation by each effect control pattern. There may be. Further, in the plurality of types of process data included in the effect control pattern, the types of control data constituting the process data may be different according to the contents of the effect operation performed at each timing. That is, if there is process data that includes all of display control data, voice control data, LED control data, operation detection control data, and presentation service control data, there is a process that includes some of these. There may be data. Furthermore, for example, in the case of including other movable members included in the rendering use item in addition to the first movable body 302, the second movable bodies 402L and 402R, and the third movable body 502, in addition to the presentation service control data In addition, other various control data such as movable member control data indicating an operation mode of the movable member may be included.

  FIG. 11B shows various effect operations performed in accordance with the content of the effect control pattern. The effect control CPU 120 determines control content of the effect operation according to various control data included in the effect control pattern. For example, when the effect control process timer value matches any of the effect control process timer determination values, the effect design is displayed in a mode specified by the display control data associated with the effect control process timer determination values, and the character Control is performed to display an effect image such as an image or a background image on the display area of the effect display device 5. Also, control is made to output sound from the speakers 8L, 8R in a mode specified by the voice control data, and control is made to blink a light emitter such as the rendering LED 9 in a mode specified by the LED control data, An operation on the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is received in an operation effective period specified by the control data, and control is performed to determine the contents of the effect corresponding to the operation, and Driving the first driving mechanism 303, the second driving mechanism 304 and the third driving mechanism 305, the fourth driving mechanism 406 and the fifth driving mechanism 505 to drive the first movable body 302, the second movable bodies 402L and 402R and the third movable mechanism Control to operate the body 502 is performed. In addition, dummy data (data for which control is not specified) may be set as data corresponding to a component for effect which is not to be controlled even though it corresponds to the effect control process timer determination value.

  The effect control CPU 120 sets the effect control pattern based on, for example, the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command, when, for example, starting the fluctuation display of the effect pattern. Here, when setting the effect control pattern, the pattern data constituting the corresponding effect control pattern may be read from the ROM 121 and temporarily stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the corresponding effect control pattern may be configured. The storage address of the pattern data in the ROM 121 may be temporarily stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, and the reading position of the storage data in the ROM 121 may be designated. After that, every time the effect control process timer value is updated, it is determined whether or not any of the effect control process timer determination values match, and if it matches, the effect operation according to the corresponding various control data Control the Thus, the effect control CPU 120 performs the effect device (effect display device 5, speakers 8L and 8R, first drive) according to the contents of process data # 1 to process data #n (n is an arbitrary integer) included in the effect control pattern. Control of the mechanism 303, the second drive mechanism 304, the third drive mechanism 305, the fourth drive mechanism 406, the fifth drive mechanism 505, the light emitters of the effect LED 9 and the like) is advanced. In each of the process data # 1 to process data #n, display control data # 1 to display control data #n associated with the effect control process timer determination values # 1 to #n, voice control data # 1 to voice control Data #n, LED control data # 1 to LED control data #n, operation detection control data # 1 to operation detection control data #n, presentation service control data # 1 to presentation service control data #n The control content of the rendering operation in the device is shown, and rendering control execution data # 1 to rendering control execution data #n for specifying the execution of rendering control are configured.

  The instruction according to the effect control pattern set in this manner is sent from the effect control CPU 120 to the display control unit, the sound control board 13, the first drive mechanism 303, the second drive mechanism 304, the third drive mechanism 305, the fourth drive mechanism 406, It is output to the fifth drive mechanism 505 or the like. In the display control unit that has received an instruction from the effect control CPU 120, for example, a predetermined VDP or the like reads out image data indicated by the instruction from an image data memory such as a CGROM and temporarily stores the image data in the VRAM. Further, in the voice control board 13 receiving the command from the effect control CPU 120, for example, the voice synthesis IC reads out the voice data indicated by the command from the voice data ROM and expands it by temporarily storing it in the voice RAM or the like. . In addition, the first drive mechanism 303, the second drive mechanism 304, the third drive mechanism 305, the fourth drive mechanism 406, and the fifth drive mechanism 505, which have received a command (drive signal) from the effect control CPU 120, are first movable. Control is performed to operate the body 302, the second movable bodies 402L and 402R, and the third movable body 502.

  Here, based on FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the contents of the effect control executed by the effect control CPU 120 based on the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern will be described.

  The effect control CPU 120 sets process data according to the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command when starting the fluctuation display of the effect pattern. Further, in particular, in the case of any one of the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA2-3, the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3, and the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4, process data corresponding to each fluctuation pattern is set Do.

  Specifically, the process data according to the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA2-3 is developed into the super reach effect based on the establishment of the reach state and the movable body effect is executed after the fluctuation display of the symbol is started. Finally, without performing the projecting operation control, the control content is to notify that the display result is out. Process data according to the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3, after starting the fluctuation display of the design, it is developed into the super reach effect based on the establishment of the reach state and the movable body effect is executed, and it finally protrudes The control content is to execute operation control to notify that the display result is a big hit. Process data according to the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4, after starting the fluctuation display of the design, it is developed to super reach effect based on the establishment of reach state and the movable body effect is executed, and finally After notifying that the display result is a disconnection without executing the projection operation control, the first corresponding operation control is executed, and the projection operation control is executed, and the control content is notified that the display result is a big hit. ing. Therefore, first, after using the process data corresponding to the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA2-3, it switches to the relief presentation process data for the relief presentation at the relief timing.

  In FIG. 12A, the operation control content of the first movable body 302 and the display control content of the effect display device 5 executed by the effect control CPU 120 based on the process data according to the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3 Are shown in time series, and the operation of the first movable body 302 executed by the effect control CPU 120 based on the process data according to the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4 is shown in FIG. 12 (B) The control content and the display control content of the effect display device 5 are shown in time series. In FIG. 12B, the process data according to the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA2-3 is used from the start of the fluctuation display to the relief timing, and the relief presentation process data is used from the relief timing to the end of the fluctuation display. Be

  The variation display period from the start to the end of the variation display of the production symbol is 53000 ms for the super reach β big hit variation pattern PB1-3 shown in FIG. 12 (A), whereas the super reach β shown in FIG. 12 (B) The relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4 is 63000 ms, which is longer by the time when relief effect is executed.

  In addition, the process data corresponding to super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA2-3, super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3, and super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4 respectively, super reach effect, movable object effect, operation Control data is set such that the effective period and the relief effect are started when the corresponding periods have elapsed since the variable display of the effect symbols was started. That is, even when any of the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA2-3, the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3, and the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4 is executed, the super reach effect, the movable body effect, and the operation effective The period and the relief effect are designed to start at a timing when a certain period has elapsed since the start of the variable display of the effect pattern.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, for performing movable body effects in each of the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA 2-3, the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB 1-3 and the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB 1-4 In the process data, the first movable body 302 is moved toward the second position by the lowering operation (first operation), and turned from the first rotation state to the second rotation state while being lowered from the middle position The first operation period T1 is set as the period for performing the first operation to move to the second position, and the operation valid period T2 is set as the period for effectively accepting the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. A period in which a second operation is performed in which the projection body 370 is changed from the stored state to the projection state and maintained by the projection operation (second operation) Second operation period T3 is set, and the first movable body 302 is returned from the second position to the first position by the lifting operation (resting operation) after returning the protrusion 370 to the storage state, and is then stopped. A return operation period T4 is set as the period.

  In the production accessory control data in the process data for performing movable body effects, the lifting motors 308L and 308R are X steps (X is the first movable body 302 from the first position) in the first operation period T1. Number of steps required to move to the second position) Drive to move the first movable body 302 from the first position to the second position and stop after rotating from the first rotation state to the second rotation state And lowering operation control data for waiting until the operation effective period T2 elapses, and a projection operation for driving the projection motor 360 to change the projection 370 from the storage state to the projection state and maintain it in the second operation period T3 In the control data and return operation period T4, the raising / lowering motors 308L and 308R are X-stepped after changing the protrusion 370 into the storage state (X is the first movable body 302, Operation control data consisting of return operation control data to drive and stop the first movable body 302 from moving from the second position to the first position) As well as including data, display control data, voice control data, and LED control data corresponding to the down operation control data, the protrusion operation control data, and the return operation control data are set.

  Specifically, in the control data corresponding to the descent operation control, as the first effect corresponding to the first operation, the display control data for causing the effect display device 5 to display the first effect, the first with the speakers 8L and 8R. 1 Audio control data for outputting an effect sound, LED control data for emitting the LED 9 for effect in the first light emission mode (see FIGS. 22B to 22D), and the like are included.

  Display control data for causing the effect display device 5 to display the second effect as a second effect corresponding to the second operation, and output a second effect sound from the speakers 8L and 8R as the second effect corresponding to the second operation. Audio control data, and LED control data (see FIGS. 23A to 23C) for causing the effect LED 9 to emit light in the second light emission mode. In addition, in the control data corresponding to the projecting operation control of the process data corresponding to the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern PA2-3, the display control data for displaying the disappointing screen on the effect display device 5, the effect on the speakers 8L and 8R Audio control data for outputting a sound, and LED control data (see FIGS. 25B and 25C) for emitting the effect LED 9 in a predetermined manner are included.

  In the control data corresponding to the return operation control, as the return effect corresponding to the return operation, the symbol display (symbol unmatched) is displayed on the effect display device 5, and the super reach effect screen is switched to the normal symbol variation display screen, The display control data for displaying symbol swing (pattern temporary stop), the voice control data for outputting the effect sound for recovery by the speakers 8L and 8R, and the LED control data for emitting the LED 9 for effect in the light emission mode for recovery (FIG. D), FIG. 24 (A) (see (B)) and the like.

  As described above, the effect control CPU 120 causes the effect display device 5 to display the first effect as the first effect corresponding to the first operation when the first operation is performed, and causes the speakers 8L and 8R to perform the first operation. While the effect sound is output, the effect LED 9 is caused to emit light in the first light emission mode, and a period required for the first movable body 302 to move from the first position to the second position (first operation period T1 described later) is Based on the elapsed time, when the second operation is performed following the first effect, the second effect is displayed on the effect display device 5 as the second effect corresponding to the second operation, and the speakers 8L, 8R And the second effect sound is output to execute the first effect control for causing the effect LED 9 to emit light in the second light emission mode.

  In addition, the process data for executing the relief effect includes the first corresponding operation for the relief effect corresponding to the first operation, the second operation, and the second generation operation effect data for executing the recovery operation, and the first Audio control data for outputting a third effect sound from the speakers 8L and 8R as a third effect corresponding to the corresponding operation, and LED control data for emitting the effect LED 9 in the third light emission mode (FIG. 25E) To (G)) are included.

  In the present embodiment, the third effect sound corresponding to the first corresponding operation is the same effect sound as the first effect sound corresponding to the first operation, but the first effect sound corresponds to the first movable body 302. The third effect sound is an effect sound which is reproduced until the first movable body 302 is moved from the middle position to the second position while the effect sound is reproduced from the first position to the second position, that is, It is assumed that the effect sound has an indefinite reproduction period.

  Further, the protrusion operation control data, the return operation control data, the display control data corresponding to these, the voice control data, and the LED control data are described in the process data at that time when the operation is accepted in the operation valid period T2. Because the control based on process data until the end of the operation valid period T2 is omitted based on the transfer destination data being transferred, the start timing may be changed according to the operation acceptance timing. is there.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), A-1. When the operation valid period passes immediately before the operation valid period (for example, 4 seconds) elapses or the operation valid period elapses without accepting the operation, the end of the return operation is after the relief timing, while the A- 2. When an operation is accepted 3 seconds after the start of the operation effective period, A-3. When the operation is accepted immediately after the start of the operation effective period (after 0 seconds), the end of the recovery operation comes before the relief timing because the operation effective period T2 is shortened.

  That is, in the first valid period until the predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds) elapses from the start of the operation valid period, the movable body effect is ended before the relief timing comes when the operation is accepted. It is a period. On the other hand, the second effective period (for example, about 1 second) from the end of the first effective period to the end of the operation effective period is a period in which the relief timing is reached before the movable body effect ends. In addition, when the operation is received in the first effective period, the period from the end of the return operation to the end of the fluctuation display becomes longer, so the fluctuation display of the symbol shaking screen (screen for temporarily displaying the rendering symbol) is ended. It will be displayed continuously.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14 (A), the CPU for effect control 120 starts the movable body effect when the variable display based on the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4 is started, and then the operation shown in FIG. When the operation is accepted in the first effective period as in (C), the movable object effect ends before reaching the relief timing. That is, since the first movable body 302 returns to the first position before reaching the relief timing, when the relief effect is started at the relief timing, the first movable body 302 is moved to the first position based on the descent operation control data. It can be stopped at the second position after being moved to the two positions and changed from the first rotation state to the second rotation state. That is, the first corresponding operation period T5 in this relief effect is the same as the first operation period T1 (T5 = T1).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14 (B), when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display based on the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4, after the movable body effect is started, FIG. When the operation is accepted in the second effective period as in the case of), the movable object effect does not end before reaching the relief timing. That is, since the first movable body 302 does not return to the first position when the relief timing is reached, the relief timing is reached during execution of the recovery operation control, and the relief effect is started.

  In addition, when the operation is received at the first timing in the second effective period, the first movable body 302 becomes the first midway position between the first position and the second position, and the first timing in the second effective period When an operation is received at a different second timing, the first movable body 302 becomes a second halfway position between the first position and the second position. That is, since the second effective period has a plurality of operation timings, the halfway position of the first movable body 302 at the relief timing differs according to the timing at which the operation is received.

  In addition, since the distance from the halfway position to the second position is shorter than the distance from the first position to the second position and differs depending on the operation timing, the first corresponding operation period T6 in this relief effect is undefined. It is a period and is a period shorter than the first operation period T1 (T6 <T1). Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 switches the process data from the recovery operation control data to the lowering operation control data and performs operation control when the relief timing is reached, from the first position to the second position for the elevation motors 308L and 308R. In order to execute control to drive and then stop the X steps necessary to move, even if the first movable body 302 reaches the second position, the drive of the elevation motors 308L and 308R can not be stopped. The lifting motor 308L, 308R may be loaded.

  Here, although it is conceivable to prepare a plurality of operation control data corresponding to each of a plurality of timings in the second effective period, not only the storage capacity of the RAM is increased, but a process table is set according to the operation timings. The control load for the effect control CPU 120 is increased because the control for the control is complicated.

  Also, when an operation is accepted in the operation valid period, after notifying the deviation without notifying the second operation, it is also considered that the recovery operation is not performed even at the start timing of the recovery operation and the recovery timing is kept waiting. However, it is uncomfortable for the player to keep the first movable body 302 in the second position, which is the approximate center position of the display screen of the effect display device 5 in spite of the notification of the detachment. It will

  Furthermore, although it is also conceivable to change the relief timing so that the second operation control does not need to be executed according to the timing at which the operation is accepted in the operation valid period, the fluctuation display period can not be extended. Since control to change the relief timing in accordance with the received timing is required, the control load increases.

  Therefore, when the relief timing comes, the effect control CPU 120 switches the process data to the relief effect process data, and performs operation control based on the switched relief effect process data.

  In the relief effect process data, after temporarily stopping the driving of the lifting motors 308L and 308R raising the first movable body 302 to the first position, the driving is reversely driven and moved to the second position. Relieving descent operation control data for changing from the first rotation state to the second rotation state and for stopping the driving of the lifting motors 308L and 308R when the lower position detection switch 313 is turned on, and the operation valid After the first operation without driving a period, the projection motor 360 is driven to change the projection 370 from the storage state to the projection state, and to change the projection operation control data to change the projection 370 into the storage state. To drive the lifting motors 308L and 308R (step X is the number of steps required to move the first movable body 302 from the second position to the first position) to move the first movable body 3 Second effect control data including second movement from the second position to the first position and then stopping the second movement, and third control using the speakers 8L and 8R as the third corresponding to the first corresponding movement; The voice control data for outputting the effect sound, and the LED control data for emitting the LED 9 for effect in the third light emission mode are included.

  As described above, since the relief descent operation control data is control data for stopping the driving of the elevation motors 308 L and 308 R when the first movable body 302 is detected by the lower position detection switch 313, the second position from the halfway position Even if it is not possible to specify the number of steps required to move to and the execution period of the operation control each time, it is possible to stop the first movable body 302 being lowered at the second position.

  Incidentally, while the first movable body 302 is lowered based on the relief descent operation control data, the effect display device 5 returns from the symbol non-matching image to the normal fluctuation display screen, and the first effect sound from the speakers 8L and 8R. The third effect sound corresponding to is output, and the effect LED 9 is caused to emit light in the third light emission mode.

  Further, in the relief effect, after stopping the first movable body 302 at the second position, the variation display is performed by changing the projection operation control to the projection state following the descent operation control without waiting for the player's operation. Report that the result was a big hit. Thereafter, return to the first position is performed by return operation control, and the movable object effect is ended together with the relief effect.

  As described above, when the recovery control is performed and the rescue timing comes, the effect control CPU 120 interrupts the return operation control being executed and stops the rising operation of the first movable body 302, and then descends. After moving from any halfway position between the first position and the second position to the second position by the first corresponding operation corresponding to the operation (the first operation), the protrusion is obtained by the projection operation (the second operation) In the second operation control for changing 370 from the storage state to the projection state, the third effect sound corresponding to the first effect sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R when the first corresponding operation (falling) is performed. In the third light emission mode corresponding to the first light emission mode, the effect LED 9 is made to emit light, and the first movable body 302 is detected by the lower position detection switch 313, that is, it is determined that the second position is reached. Based The second effect is displayed on the effect display device 5 as the second effect, and the output of the third effect sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped to output the second effect sound, and the third light emission The second effect control is executed to cause the effect LED 9 emitting light in the mode to emit light in the second light emission mode.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, the first effect sound (third effect sound) and the second effect sound are set to be outputable from the speakers 8L and 8R. Specifically, the same reproduction channel 2 is set to be used to reproduce the first effect sound and the second effect sound. More specifically, the audio data 1 for reproducing the first effect sound, the audio data 2 for reproducing the second effect sound, and the third audio data combining the first effect sound and the second effect sound are the same. It can be reproduced by the reproduction channel 2.

  In the present embodiment, the third effect sound is the same sound data as the first effect sound. Since the audio data 1 for reproducing the first effect sound is reproduced as the third effect sound, that is, audio data that may be forcibly stopped during reproduction as will be described later, the audio data 1 is forcibly output during reproduction. It is preferable that it is music data etc. which are hard to give discomfort when it is stopped.

  When performing the first operation of the first movable body 302 in the first effect control, the effect control CPU 120 reproduces the first effect sound on the reproduction channel 2 based on the third audio data, and performs the first movable operation. When the period (first operation period T1) required for the body 302 to move from the first position to the second position elapses, the second effect sound is reproduced following the first effect sound based on the third sound data Control to reproduce on channel 2 is performed. The third audio data is a series of audio data that can be reproduced without particularly monitoring the reproduction period.

  On the other hand, after the effect control CPU 120 starts the reproduction of the first effect sound based on the audio data 1 by the reproduction channel 2 at the relief timing in the second effect control, the first position detection switch 313 performs the first operation. When it is determined that the movable body 302 is detected, that is, the second position is reached, the reproduction of the second effect sound (third effect sound) based on the audio data 2 is similarly started by the reproduction channel 2.

  Here, when the first corresponding operation control of the first movable body 302 is executed at the relief timing, the time required for the first movable body 302 to reach the second position is indeterminate. It is necessary to make the audio data of a reproducible length over a period (first operation period T1) required for the first movable body 302 to move from the first position to the second position. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the reproduction of the voice when the first movable body 302 reaches the second position or to prepare a plurality of voice data of a length corresponding to the movement period from the halfway position to the second position. is there.

  However, when stopping the reproduction of the voice when the first movable body 302 reaches the second position, or when preparing a plurality of voice data of a length corresponding to the moving period from the halfway position to the second position, When the reproduction of the first effect sound based on the sound data 1 and the reproduction of the second effect sound based on the sound data 2 are set to be reproduced by different reproduction channels, when switching from the first effect sound to the second effect sound If there is a gap between the stop timing of the first effect sound and the reproduction start timing of the second effect sound, the first effect sound and the second effect sound may be temporarily reproduced in duplicate. Since there is a possibility that a time from the stop of the reproduction of the effect sound to the start of the reproduction of the second effect sound may occur, the control becomes difficult.

  Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 starts the reproduction of the first effect sound (the third effect sound) based on the audio data 1 by the reproduction channel 2 when the relief timing comes in the second effect control, and then detects the lower position. When the switch 313 detects the first movable body 302, the reproduction of the second effect sound based on the audio data 2 is started by the same reproduction channel 2, so that the reproduction of the first effect sound is forcibly stopped. The reproduction of the second effect sound is to be started.

  As described above, since the first effect sound can be suitably switched to the reproduction of the second effect sound according to the switching timing of the first movable body 302 from the first operation to the second operation, Not only does the complicated control of monitoring the playback period not be performed, but the switching timing is shifted and the first effect sound and the second effect sound are temporarily overlapped and output, or the first effect sound is It is possible to prevent occurrence of a time from when the reproduction is stopped to when the reproduction of the second effect sound is started.

  Returning to FIG. 10, in S284, the effect control CPU 120 displays the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, operation detection control execution data 1, effect for presentation According to control data 1), a rendering device (a rendering display device 5 as a component for rendering, various LEDs, speakers 8L, 8R, an operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.), a rendering feature (first movable body 302, The control of the second movable bodies 402L and 402R) is executed (S284). For example, in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the effect display device 5, an instruction is output to the display control unit. 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.

  In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variable pattern of the effect pattern according to the change pattern corresponding to the change pattern designation command to be displayed, but the effect control CPU 120 specifies the change pattern. The variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the command.

  Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (S285). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (S286). 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. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol process (S75) (S287).

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a process (S75) during effect symbol variation in the effect control process. 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). In addition, when the relief production start waiting timer is set, the value of the relief production start waiting timer is decremented by 1 (S302), and whether or not the relief production start waiting timer has timed up, that is, the start of the relief production It is determined whether it is timing (S303).

  If the remedy preparation start waiting timer has not been timed up (S303; N), it is determined whether the first corresponding operation flag is set (S304). When the first corresponding operation control flag is not set in S304 (S304; N), it is determined whether the operation accepting flag indicating that it is the operation valid period is set (S305). If the operation accepting flag is not set in S305 (S305; N), it is determined whether it is the start timing of the operation effective period (S306).

  When it is the start timing of the operation valid period (S306; Y), the value corresponding to the first valid period is set in the first valid period timer, and the value corresponding to the operation valid period is set in the operation valid period timer. The timer is started (S307), the operation accepting flag is set (S308), and the process proceeds to S309. When it is not the start timing of the operation effective period (S306; N), it proceeds to S309 as it is.

  In S309, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether the process timer has timed out. If the process timer has timed out (S309; Y), the process data is switched (S310). 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 (S311). In addition, the control state for the rendering device (the component for effect) is based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation detection control data, the effect product control data, etc. It changes (S312) and progresses to S314. On the other hand, when the process timer has not timed out (S309; N), the contents of process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, operation detection control data, for presentation Control of the rendering device (component for presentation) is executed according to the feature control data etc.) (S313), and the process proceeds to S314.

  In S303, if the relief effect start waiting timer is up, it is the start timing of the relief effect, so the process proceeds to S350 of FIG. 16 and changes the process table to the relief effect process table for relief effect (S350). The process timer in the process data 1 of the changed relief presentation process table is started (S351). 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) Control of the device 5, various LEDs as rendering components, the speakers 8L and 8R as rendering components, detection of the push button 31B, the stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (S352). Thus, the relief effect is executed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a second valid period reception flag indicating that there is an operation in the second valid period is set (S353), and if the second valid period reception flag is set (S353; Y) ), The first corresponding operation control flag for executing the first corresponding operation in the relief effect is set (S354), and the process proceeds to S314 in FIG. If the second effective period reception flag is not set (S 353; N), the first corresponding operation is not executed in the relief effect, so the process directly proceeds to S 314 in FIG.

  Referring back to FIG. 15, if the first corresponding operation flag is set in S303 (S304; Y), the process proceeds to S360 in FIG. In S360, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether the process timer has timed out. If the process timer has timed out, the process data is switched (S361). That is, the next process timer is started again by setting the process timer set value set next in the process table to the process timer (S 362). In addition, the control state for the rendering device (the component for effect) is determined based on the display control execution data, the sound control execution data, the LED control execution data, the operation detection control data, the presentation service control data, etc. Change (S363). On the other hand, when the process timer has not timed out, the contents of process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, sound control execution data, LED control execution data, operation detection control data, presentation product control data, etc. Control of the rendering device (component for rendering) is executed according to step S364).

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the lower position detection switch 313 is in the on state, that is, whether the first movable body 302 has reached the lower position (S365). If the lower position detection switch 313 is in the on state, the first corresponding operation flag is cleared on the assumption that the first movable body 302 has reached the second position (S 366), and the second position in the relief effect process table is reached. Process data (projecting operation control data) is specified from the migration destination data (S367). Then, the process data is switched to the specified process data (S368), and the contents of the next process data (display control execution data, sound control execution data, LED control execution data, operation detection control data, presentation product control data, etc. Control of the rendering device (component for rendering) is executed according to step S369). As a result, by performing the second operation of causing the protrusion 370 of the first movable body 302 to project in the relief effect, it is notified that the display result is a big hit.

  Referring back to FIG. 15, when the operation accepting flag is set in S305 (S305; Y), the first effective period timer for measuring the first effective period and the operation effective for measuring the operation effective period are effective. Each value of the period timer is decremented by one (S320). Next, it is determined whether or not the operation valid period timer is up (S321), and if the operation valid period timer is not up (S321; N), whether or not there is an operation acceptance, that is, a stick It is determined whether the controller 31A or the push button 31B has been operated (S322). If the operation valid period timer is up in S321 (S321; Y), it is determined that the operation valid period has elapsed without receiving the operation, the operation accepting flag is cleared (S326), and the process proceeds to S327.

  If there is operation acceptance in S322 (S322; Y), the operation in-progress flag is cleared (S323), and it is determined whether the first valid period timer is up (S324). If the first valid period timer is not up (S324; N), it is determined that the first valid period has received an operation, the first valid period reception flag is set (S325), and the process proceeds to S328. If the first validity period timer is up (S324; Y), the second validity period acceptance flag is set (S327), assuming that operation acceptance has been received in the second validity period (S327), and the process proceeds to S328. If the operation is not accepted in S322 (S322; N), the process is terminated.

  In this embodiment, when the operation is not accepted in the operation valid period, the second valid period acceptance flag is set as if the operation was accepted in the second valid period, but the present invention is limited to this. If the operation acceptance period is not received during the operation validity period, the second effective period acceptance flag may not be set, and the following movable body effect may not be performed.

  In S328, the first process data (projecting operation control data) after the end of the operation effective period in the process table is specified from the migration destination data (S328). Then, after the process data is switched to the specified process data (S329) and the next process timer is started (S330), the contents of the next process data (display control execution data, sound control execution data, LED control execution data, Control of the rendering device (component for rendering) is executed according to the operation detection control data, the rendering product control data, etc.) (S331), and the process proceeds to S314. As a result, in the case of the big hit fluctuation pattern, the second operation for projecting the protrusion 370 of the movable body 302 is performed to notify that the display result is a big hit, and in the case of the out- put fluctuation pattern, the first movable body 302 is By not performing the second operation of causing the protrusion 370 to protrude, it is notified that the display result is an off state.

  In S314, it is checked whether or not the fluctuation control timer has timed out (S314). When the fluctuation control timer has timed out (S314; Y), the CPU 120 for effect control displays the next display screen of the left middle right display pattern (displayed 30 ms after the display switching time of the last generation design) Image data of the screen to be created is written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (S315). As such, in the effect display device 5, variation control of the effect pattern is realized. The display control unit outputs, to the effect display device 5, 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. Do. 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 (S316).

  If the fluctuation control timer has not timed out (S314; N), it is checked whether the fluctuation time timer has timed out (S317). If the fluctuation time timer has timed out (S317; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value according to the effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S76) (S319). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not timed out (S 317; N), if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the design confirmation designation command has been received is set (S 318; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is produced The value is updated according to the symbol variation stop process (S76) (S319), and the process is ended. 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). Also, if the confirmation command reception flag is not set (S318; N), the processing 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.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the CPU 120 for effect control lowers the first movable body 302 when performing movable object effect in the variable display of the effect pattern (the first operation) Move from the first state, which is located at the first position, to the second position, and change from the first rotation state to the second rotation state while moving down to the second state, which is located at the second position When the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is received within the operation effective period, the protrusion 370 is projected from the accommodated state to the protruded state (the first step). 2) When the relief timing is reached when executing the first operation control to perform the recovery operation control and the recovery operation control, the recovery operation control being executed is interrupted to raise the first movable body 302 After stopping and moving from the halfway position between the first position and the second position to the second position by the operation (first corresponding operation) corresponding to the lowering operation (the first operation), the projection operation (the first operation) The second operation control for changing the protrusion 370 from the storage state to the projection state by the second operation), and the first effect corresponding to the first operation when the first operation is executed, is performed in the effect display device 5 1 Effect is displayed, the first effect sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the effect LED 9 emits light in the first light emission mode, and the first movable body 302 moves from the first position to the second position On the effect display device 5 as a second effect corresponding to the second operation when the second operation is performed following the first effect based on the passage of the time required for the first operation (the first operation period T1). To display the second effect, the speaker 8L, The second effect sound is output in R, and the first effect control for causing the effect LED 9 to emit light in the second light emission mode and the recovery operation control when the relief timing is reached, the return during the execution The operation control is interrupted, the upward movement of the first movable body 302 is stopped, and either of the first position and the second position is performed by the operation (first corresponding operation) corresponding to the downward operation (first operation). In the second operation control in which the protrusion 370 is changed from the storage state to the projection state by the projection operation (second operation) after being moved from the middle position to the second position, the first movable body 302 is moved by the lower position detection switch 313. The second effect is displayed on the effect display device 5 as the second effect based on the fact that the second effect has been detected, that is, based on the determination that the second position has been reached, and the second effect sound is displayed on the speakers 8L and 8R. Output LED9 for production It is possible to execute a second effect control that causes the light emission in the second light emission mode.

  By doing this, in the first operation control, the timing at which the first operation period T1 required for the first movable body 302 to move from the first position to the second position has elapsed (the lift motors 308L and 308R By terminating the first effect at the timing when X step driving is performed, the second operation and the second effect can be started at suitable timing, while in the second operation control, the first movable body 302 is at the second position. Even when moving the first movable body 302 from the halfway position to the second position by executing the second effect based on having been determined to have arrived, it is preferable to switch to the second operation and the second effect Since the process can be performed at the timing, an effect can be suitably performed.

  Specifically, when moving the first movable body 302 from the first position to the second position in the movable body effect, the effect control CPU 120 performs a first operation period required to move from the first position to the second position. Since T1 is constant, the effect may be performed based on process data for performing the first operation control, but when the first movable body 302 is moved from the halfway position to the second position in the relief effect, the game The period (moving distance) required to move from the intermediate position to the second position becomes indefinite depending on the timing of accepting the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B by the user.

  Therefore, separately from the process data for executing the first operation control, the first movable body 302 is performed by the first corresponding operation by executing the effect based on the rescue effect process data for executing the second operation control. Stops the descent operation (first corresponding operation) and the effect corresponding to the first effect (the output of the third effect sound and the light emission in the third light emission mode) based on the determination that the second position is reached Can be switched between the projecting operation (second operation) and the second effect (output of the second effect sound and light emission in the second light emission mode), so a plurality of control data corresponding to each of a plurality of operation reception timings Since it is not necessary to prepare or set the process table according to the operation timing, it is possible to avoid an increase in the control load of the CPU 120 for effect control.

  Further, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B within the operation valid period, and in the case of a big hit fluctuation pattern, the protrusion 370 projects the protrusion 370 from the storage state to the projection state (second operation ). By doing this, since the first movable body 302 operates in accordance with the operation of the player, the interest of the game is improved.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first movable body 302 is not only capable of moving up and down between the first position and the second position, but also the protrusion 370 is accommodated in the box-like portion 302A. Drive mechanisms and drive sources such as a rotation motor 350 for rotating the first rotation state and the second rotation state, and a protrusion motor 360 for changing the protrusion 370 into the protrusion state or the storage state Because it is mounted, it is heavier than the movable body which is not equipped with these.

  Therefore, since there is a limit in accelerating the downward movement from the first position to the second position, the downward movement control is started at the timing when the player's operation is accepted, and the projection movement control is continued following the movable movement control. If it is attempted to execute, the time from when the operation is received until when the projection operation control starts may be long, which may cause the player to feel uncomfortable.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the first movable body 302 is moved to the second position by the lowering operation control, the operation valid period starts, and the projection operation control is performed at the timing when the operation is received within the operation valid period. The time from when the operation is accepted to when the projection operation control starts can be shortened.

  Further, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B within the operation valid period, and in the case of a big hit fluctuation pattern, the protrusion 370 projects the protrusion 370 from the storage state to the projection state (second operation The second effect is displayed on the effect display device 5 as the second effect, the second effect sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the effect LED 9 emits light in the second light emission mode.

  By doing this, the first movable body 302 performs the second operation and the second effect is executed according to the operation of the player, so that the interest of the game is improved.

  Further, when the relief control comes at a relief timing when the recovery control is being executed, the effect control CPU 120 interrupts the return operation control being executed, and stops the upward movement of the first movable body 302, and then lowers the downward movement. After moving from the halfway position between the first position and the second position to the second position by the operation (first corresponding operation) corresponding to the (first operation), the projection operation (second operation) The second operation control is performed to change the protrusion 370 from the storage state to the protrusion state. By doing this, since the first corresponding operation is resumed while the first movable body 302 returns from the second position to the first position, it is possible to give the player unexpectedness.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, the relief effect is started from the state where the first movable body 302 is returned to the first position, when an operation is received within the first effective period. As shown in FIG. 13 (B), when the operation is received within the second effective period, the operation is started before the first movable body 302 returns to the first position. As described above, it is expected that the first corresponding operation is started even when the notification of the disconnection is performed by the first corresponding operation being started by the reverse drive of the lifting motors 308L and 308R in the middle of the return operation. Because it comes to be, interest is improved.

  Further, in the case of the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3, the effect control CPU 120 executes the first operation control of causing the protrusion 370 to perform the protrusion operation (second operation) from the storage state to the protrusion state (FIGS. 24), in the case of the first effect pattern notifying that the variation display result is a big hit, and in the case of the super reach β deviation variation pattern PA2-3, the protrusion 370 projects from the storage state to the projection state (second The second display pattern is maintained without moving the second display, and the second display pattern notifying that the fluctuation display result is out, and the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4, the fluctuation display result is out The third effect informing that the fluctuation display result is a big hit by the time the fluctuation display is finished after executing the effect based on the second effect pattern informing the And the turn, it is possible to execute, when it becomes relief timing when running the return operation control, to interrupt the return operation control being executed, to execute a second operation control.

  By doing this, it is not necessary to change the execution timing of the second operation control according to the timing at which the operation is received, so the control load on the effect control CPU 120 can be reduced.

  In addition, the CPU for effect control 120 starts the reproduction of the first effect sound (the third effect sound) based on the audio data 1 by the reproduction channel 2 when the relief timing in the second effect control comes, and then detects the lower position. When the switch 313 detects the first movable body 302, the reproduction of the second effect sound based on the audio data 2 is started by the same reproduction channel 2, so that the reproduction of the first effect sound is forcibly stopped. The reproduction of the second effect sound is started. By doing this, the switching from the second effect sound to the effect sound corresponding to the first effect sound can be suitably performed.

  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, the movable body is movable between the first position and the second position as the movable body which can be changed to the first state and the second state different from the first state, and Although the first movable body 302 capable of changing from the one rotation state to the second rotation state is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, the first position and the second position The movable body may not move from the first rotation state to the second rotation state in the middle of movement, or may be moved from the first rotation state (first state) to the second rotation state. If it is changeable to the (second state), it may be a movable body which does not move between the first position and the second position. Also, as in the second operation, the movable body may be changeable from the non-projecting state (first state) to the projecting state (second state).

  In the above embodiment, the first movable body 302 exemplifies a mode capable of moving up and down between the first position and the second position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may move in the left-right direction or in the front-rear direction between the second position. In addition, although the first movable body 302 is applied as a movable body capable of changing between the first state and the second state different from the first state, for example, the second movable bodies 402L and 402R and the third movable body 502 are used. Alternatively, movable bodies (e.g., logo panels) separate from these may be applied.

  In the embodiment, the first movable body 302 is illustrated as being rotated from the first rotation state to the second rotation state while moving from the first position to the second position, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It is also possible to rotate from the first rotation state to the second rotation state after moving from the first position to the second position.

  In the embodiment, the first movement of the first movable body 302 is an operation of moving from the first position to the second position, and an movement of rotating from the first rotation state to the second rotation state while moving. And the second operation is a projecting operation of the protrusion 370, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first operation of the first movable body 302 may be performed from the first position to the first position. The second operation may include the operation of moving to the second position, and the second operation may include the operation of rotating from the first rotation state to the second rotation state and the operation of projecting the protrusion 370.

  In the above embodiment, the second movement of the first movable body 302 exemplifies a mode different from the first movement including movement and rotation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operation mode may be the same as the first operation as long as the first operation is performed after being stopped once. For example, the second operation may move from the second position to a third position different from the second position, may be an operation reversely driving from the second position to the first position, or may be a projection operation. In addition, the operation mode may be different from the operation mode of the first operation.

  Alternatively, the second operation may be the operation of a second operation target different from the first operation target operating in the first operation, or the first operation mode corresponding to the first operation even if the operation target is the same. It may be an operation in a second operation mode different from. In the embodiment described above, the box-like portion 302A (first operation target) is operated in the first operation, and the projection 370 (second operation target) is operated in the second operation, but in the first operation The box-like portion 302A (first operation object) may be operated in the first operation mode, and in the second operation, the box-like portion 302A (first operation object) may be operated in the second operation mode.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as an example of the effect means different from the movable body, the effect display device 5 capable of displaying an image, the speakers 8L and 8R capable of outputting sound, and the light emitting effect LED 9 are exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect means may be a light guide plate device capable of producing light emission effect by the light guide plate, or a movable body different from the first movable body 302 (for example, the second movable body 402L , 402R, the third movable body 502, or a movable body (e.g., a logo panel) separate from them may be included.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as an example of determination means capable of determining whether the first movable body 302 has moved from the first position to the second position, the second position based on the detection result of the lower position detection switch 313 Although the embodiment to which the effect control CPU 120 for determining movement to the stage is applied is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first movable body 302 is rotated from the first rotation state to the second rotation state. If it reaches the second position when it changes to the state, the effect control CPU 120 detects the change to the second rotation state based on the detection results of other detection means such as the expanded position switch 352. It may be determined that the first movable body 302 has moved to the second position. Alternatively, the effect control CPU 120 may determine that the first movable body 302 has moved to the second position based on the detection results of both the lower position detection switch 313 and the developed position switch 352.

  Further, in the embodiment, the CPU 120 for effect control starts the first effect according to the execution of the first operation of the first movable body 302, and starts the second effect according to the execution of the second operation. Although the form which starts 3rd production according to execution of 1 corresponding operation was illustrated, this invention is not something which is limited to this, start timing of each operation of 1st movable body 302 and effect indicatory device 5, The start timings of the effects by the speakers 8L and 8R and the LED 9 for effect may not be completely the same. For example, each effect is performed at a timing before or after the start timing of the operation of the first movable body 302. It may be started.

  In the above embodiment, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are applied as an example of the operation means for accepting the player's operation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other than these Operation means (for example, a touch sensor etc.) may be applied.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 projects the first movable body 302 based on the fact that the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is received within the operation effective period in the movable body effect (second operation However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the operation promotion image of the stick controller 31A is displayed, acceptance of the operation of the push button 31B is invalidated, and the operation promotion image of the push button 31B is When is displayed, acceptance of the operation of the stick controller 31A may be invalidated.

  Furthermore, in this case, when it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit, the stick controller in the operation effective period is higher than when the variable display result is not determined to be a big hit (in the case of misplacement) 31A operation promotion image is displayed, and when the variable display result is not determined to be a big hit (in the case of out of place), the operation is performed at a higher rate than the case where the variable display result is determined to be a big hit The operation promotion image of the push button 31B may be displayed in the valid period. That is, when the operation of one of the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B is accepted, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the other operation is accepted.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 exemplifies a mode in which driving of the lifting motors 308L and 308R is temporarily stopped and then reverse rotation is driven when the relief timing is reached during execution of the return operation control. The present invention is not limited to this, and when the relief timing is reached, reverse driving may be performed without temporarily stopping driving of the lifting motors 308L and 308R.

  In the embodiment, the second operation control executed by the effect control CPU 120 is performed when the player's operation is accepted during the second effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without accepting the player's operation. In the present embodiment, the action control corresponding to the relief effect to be executed is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second action control is performed at any timing of the operation effective period in the relief effect. It may be executed even when an operation is accepted.

  Further, in the above embodiment, a plurality of operation reception timings exist in the second effective period of the movable body effect, and the effect control CPU 120 starts the second operation at the timing when the operation is received, so in the first corresponding operation Although the form which becomes unstable [1st corresponding operation period T6 (moving distance) which moves the 1st movable body 302 to the 2nd position] was illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, by the 1st operation After moving the first movable body 302 to the second position, the effect pattern of starting the second operation after the first standby period has elapsed, and the second operation after the second standby period different from the first standby period has elapsed. The first corresponding operation period T6 (moving distance) may be indeterminate by making it possible to execute an effect pattern that starts the event.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the second operation control executed by the CPU for effect control 120 exemplifies a mode to be executed in the relief effect informing that it will be a big hit after notifying that the fluctuation display result will be out, The present invention is not limited to this, and the second operation control is a promotion presentation that notifies of transition to a high probability state after reporting various transition effects or notification of transition to a low probability state after a big hit. It is possible to carry out other effects such as re-changing effects of re-changing out-of-stop symbols and changing them to big hit symbols.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the relief display is started after the variation display is started in any of the super reach beta deviation variation pattern PA2-3, the super reach beta big hit variation pattern PB1-3, and the super reach beta relief big hit variation pattern PB1-4. Although the period to the timing illustrated the form assumed to be the same, the present invention is not limited to this, and the period from the start of the variable display to the relief timing is not the same in all fluctuation patterns. May be

  In the above embodiment, the second operation performed in the movable object effect based on the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3 and the movable object effect based on the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4 In the second operation, the operation mode is exemplified by the same mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and at least a part of the operation mode is different if at least a part of the operation mode is the same. It is also good. In addition, the second effect corresponding to the second operation executed in the movable object production based on the super reach β big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-3, and the movable effect production based on the super reach β relief big hit fluctuation pattern PB1-4 The second effect corresponding to the second motion to be performed may be different in some of the effect modes as long as at least a portion of the effect modes are the same.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the first movable body 302 is changed from the first rotation state to the second movable state at the second position, the first movable body 302 is illustrated as being rotated approximately 92 degrees. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, first, after rotating the first movable body 302 by about 90 degrees, when changing the protrusion 370 from the storage state to the protrusion state, it is about 2 degrees or so Furthermore, the first movable body 302 may be rotated. The pivoting angle at which the first movable body 302 pivots is not limited to the angle described in the present embodiment, and the position and weight of the weight part of the first movable body 302 and the weight of the protrusion 370 It may be freely changed in accordance with the sheath projecting angle or the like.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form using the pantograph mechanism has been exemplified as the mechanism for changing the protrusion 370 between the storage state and the projection state, but the present invention is not limited to this. And so on.

  Furthermore, although the decorative body 380 as the predetermined part is provided behind the first movable body 302 as viewed from the player, the present invention is not limited to this, and the time of the first movable body 302 As long as it is provided in the moving direction, it may be the front side of the first movable body 302 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 embodiment, a pachinko game machine is applied as an example of a game machine, but the game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using, for example, a game value At the same time, one game is ended by the variable display result being derived on the variable display device capable of the variable display of a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified respectively, and the winning is achieved according to the variable display result derived on the variable display device The present invention is also applicable to slot machines in which

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a spherical gaming ball (pachinko ball) is applied as an example of gaming media, but it is not limited to spherical gaming media, for example, non-spherical gaming media such as medals. It may be

  A second embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to which the present invention is applied will be described. In addition, since the structure of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of a present Example contains the structure same as Example 1, a different point is mainly demonstrated here.

  In this embodiment, based on the fact that the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is received within the operation valid period during the variable display, an operation effect displaying an advance notice image for announcing the possibility that the variable display result will be a big hit Is feasible.

  FIG. 26 is an explanatory view showing an example of execution timings of the operation effect and the movable body effect. In the present embodiment, the operation effect can be performed before the start of the super reach, and the movable body effect can be performed after the start of the super reach. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. The order of execution of the movable body effect and the movable body effect may be reversed, or may be performed at any timing during the variable display. Further, the execution mode of the operation effect or the movable object effect may be different according to the timing of the execution. For example, when the movable body effect is performed before the start of the super reach, the operation promotion notification is performed (that is, the timing shown in FIG. 22A, for example) immediately before the movable body effect is started. When the movable body effect is executed after the start of the super reach), the movable body effect is started, and the timing when the first movable body 302 is disposed at the second position in the second rotation state). (For example, at the timing shown in FIG. 23A), the operation promotion notification may be performed (that is, the operation valid period is provided).

  In the operation effect, an operation promotion notification is performed to urge the player to operate the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B when the operation effective period comes. Further, as described in the first embodiment, even in the movable body effect, the operation promotion notification for urging the player to operate the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is executed when the operation effective period comes.

  In the first embodiment, when the movable object effect is executed in the variable display of the effect pattern, the first movable object 302 is disposed at the second position in the second rotation state in any of the first to third effect patterns. When it is set (that is, the timing shown in FIG. 23A), the operation valid period of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is reached, and the operation promotion notification is performed. In this embodiment, the first movable body 302 is Even when being arranged at the first position in the first rotation state, the operation promotion period of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B may be effective, and the operation promotion notification may be performed.

  Specifically, at a timing immediately before the start of the movable body effect (that is, the timing shown in FIG. 22A), an operation promotion notification that urges the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is performed. When the player's operation is accepted, or when the operation valid period ends without receiving the player's operation, it is notified that the movable body effect is started or the movable body effect is not started. is there.

  In this embodiment, the timing at which the movable body effect is started and the first movable body 302 is disposed at the second position in the second rotation state (that is, the timing shown in FIG. 23A) and the movable body effect are When any one of the timing immediately before the start (that is, the timing shown in FIG. 22A), the operation promotion notification is given and the player's operation is received during the operation valid period, or The effect is executed when the operation effective period ends without accepting the operation, but the invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the operation promotion notification is performed at both timings, and the player's operation is performed during the operation effective period. When the game is accepted, or when the operation valid period ends without accepting the player's operation, the subsequent rendering may be performed. In addition to the two timings, the operation promotion notification is performed at three or more timings, and when the player's operation is accepted during the operation valid period, or the operation valid period ends without accepting the player's operation. Sometimes, the subsequent effects may be performed. For example, the effect control CPU 120 determines the operation effective period during the fluctuation display and the timing for performing the operation promotion notification based on the fluctuation pattern at the start of the fluctuation and the notice effect determined to be performed.

  Note that the operation effective period (that is, the timing at which the operation promotion notification is performed) may be different depending on the jackpot expectation. In other words, according to the execution situation of the movable body effect when the operation promotion notification is performed (specifically, which of the second position and the first position the first movable body 302 is positioned), The jackpot expectation may be different. Specifically, the operation promotion notification is performed at the timing when the first movable body 302 is disposed at the second position in the second rotation state by the movable body effect (that is, the operation valid period is provided). The jackpot expectation may be made higher than that when the operation promotion notification is performed (i.e., the operation effective period is provided) immediately before the start of the movable body effect. For example, depending on the type of fluctuation pattern or super reach, the timing (i.e., the operation effective period) of performing the operation promotion notification may be determined by a different ratio depending on when the fluctuation display result is a big hit and when it is out. This can be realized by determining the timing (i.e., the operation effective period) of performing the operation promotion notification according to different rates.

  Also, when a relief prompt (for example, the timing shown in FIG. 25D) is given, an operation promotion notification that urges the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is performed, and the player's operation is received during the operation valid period. When the operation effective period ends without accepting the player's operation, an effect indicating that the relief effect or the relief effect is not performed may be performed. In this case, the relief timing may be the timing before the return operation shown in FIG. 25C is performed (that is, the timing before FIG. 25C after FIG. 25B).

  In addition, the relief timing (that is, the operation valid period and the timing of the operation promotion notification for notifying it) is the timing shown in FIG. 25 (D) and the timing before FIG. 25 (C) after FIG. 25 (B). Depending on which of the above, the ratio at which the relief effect is performed may be made different. That is, the execution state of the movable body effect when the operation promotion notification is performed (specifically, the first movable body 302 is positioned at either the second position or the first position (or a position near the first position). The rate at which the relief effect is performed may differ depending on whether For example, the relief timing (that is, the operation valid period and the timing of the operation promotion notification for notifying it) is determined by a different ratio depending on when the fluctuation display result is a big hit and the time of outfall, fluctuation pattern or super reach This can be realized by determining the relief timing (that is, the operation valid period and the timing of the operation promotion notification for notifying it) at different rates according to the type of.

  Hereinafter, the timing illustrated in FIG. 25D is also referred to as a first relief timing, and after FIG. 25B, the timing before FIG. 25C is also referred to as a second relief timing.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, the timing at which the operation promotion notification according to the operation production is performed is also referred to as the first operation promotion timing, and the timing when the operation promotion notification according to the movable body effect is performed is also referred to as the second operation promotion timing. . Specifically, the second operation promotion timing is a timing at which the first movable body 302 is disposed at the second position in the second rotation state due to the movable body effect (that is, the timing shown in FIG. 23A) or The timing immediately before the start of the movable body effect (ie, the timing shown in FIG. 22A), the first relief timing (ie, the timing shown in FIG. 25D), and the second relief timing (ie, FIG. 25). After (B), it is a timing before FIG.25 (C)).

  In the operation promotion notification at the first operation promotion timing and the second operation promotion timing, an image simulating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B or "press!" As the operation promotion notification for urging the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. While an operation promotion image including a character image such as "close!" And an operation validity period image such as a meter display indicating an operation validity period is displayed, an operation promotion sound is output.

  Here, when the first operation promotion timing and the second operation promotion timing are compared, the position of the first movable body 302 is constant at the first operation promotion timing, but the first movable body is at the second operation promotion timing. The position of 302 is not constant. Therefore, at the second operation promotion timing, even if the operation promotion image is displayed on the effect display device 5 as the operation promotion notification, the operation promotion image is recognized by the first movable body 302 depending on the execution situation of the movable body effect. It may be difficult. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the operation promotion notification can be performed in a mode different according to the execution situation of the effect.

  FIG. 27 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the operation promotion notification according to the execution status of the movable body effect. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27, the operation promotion notification is executed in a different manner according to the execution situation of the movable body effect, specifically, the position of the first movable body 302.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27A, when the first movable body 302 is disposed at the first position in the first rotation state (for example, timing immediately before the movable body effect is started) (Ie, the timing shown in FIG. 22 (A)) and the first relief timing (ie, the timing shown in FIG. 25 (D)), the effect display device 5 “closes!” An operation prompting image 200a including a character image, an image simulating the stick controller 31A, and an operation valid period image by a meter display indicating an operation valid period is displayed, and the first operation prompting sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. . These controls are realized, for example, by the effect control CPU 120 switching to process data for the first relief timing at the first relief timing, and controlling the effect device (component for effect) according to the switched process data. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 27B, when the first movable body 302 is disposed at the second position in the second rotation state (for example, the first movable body 302 is the second one by the movable body effect) The timing at which the second position is placed in the dynamic state (that is, the timing shown in FIG. 23A) and the second relief timing (that is, the timing before FIG. 25C after FIG. 25B). In the effect display device 5, the operation promotion image 200b including the operation effective period image by the meter display indicating the operation effective period, the character image of “Take the lever!”, And the image simulating the stick controller 31A is displayed At the same time, the second operation promotion sound is output from the speakers 8 L and 8 R. For example, the effect control CPU 120 controls these for the second relief timing pro at the second relief timing. Switch to Sudeta, it is realized by performing the control of the effect device (director parts) according to the process data switching.

  While the size of the image imitating the stick controller 31A and the content of the character image are different between the operation promotion image 200a and the operation promotion image 200b, the display position of the operation valid period image is also different. By using the operation promoting images in different modes as described above, as shown in FIGS. 27A and 27B, the operation valid period image is displayed at a position away from the first movable body 302, The operation promotion notification and the operation effective period can be easily recognized.

  In the present embodiment, the position of the operation effective period image is different between the operation promotion image 200a and the operation promotion image 200b. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the meter display may be different between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. By making the operation effective period different between the numerical display indicating the numerical value and the meter display, it may be easy to recognize according to the execution situation of the effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an image imitating the stick controller 31A may be the same size between the operation promotion image 200a and the operation promotion image 200b, and only the display position of the operation valid period image may be different.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an image imitating the stick controller 31A, a character image such as “Take a lever!” And an operation valid period image are simultaneously displayed, but may be displayed at different timings. For example, after the image resembling the stick controller 31A is displayed, a character image such as “Take a lever!” Or an operation valid period image may be displayed when a predetermined timing comes.

  Further, by making the mode of the effect sound different with the operation promotion image, the operation promotion notification can be effectively executed. For example, when the timing for performing the operation promotion notification is configured to be different (that is, the mode for the operation promotion notification is different) according to the jackpot expectation, the situation with the timing when the jackpot expectation is high and low It is also possible to vary the mode of the operation promotion notification according to the above. For example, at the first relief timing (that is, the timing of FIG. 25D), the second relief timing (that is, FIG. After the B), when the jackpot expectation is higher than when the operation promotion notification is performed in the mode shown in FIG. 27 (B) in FIG. 25C), the operation promotion image 200a The first operation promotion sound may be an image more flashy than the operation promotion image 200b (for example, the size of an image imitating the stick controller 31A or a character image may be increased, or the content of the character image may be different). (2) A louder sound (for example, the volume may be louder or the tempo may be faster) than the operation promotion sound. By doing this, it is possible to create an effect according to the situation, and it is possible to effectively execute the operation promotion notification. When the timing (ie, the operation effective period) for performing the operation promotion notification is determined by a different ratio according to the type of fluctuation pattern or super reach, the type of fluctuation pattern or super reach may be determined. The ratio at which the operation promotion notification is performed at the timing when the big hit expectation is high, and the ratio at which the operation promotion notification is performed differ depending on the aspect where the big hit expectation is high.

  In addition, instead of or in addition to the image display and the effect sound output, the operation promotion notification may be performed using another effect device. For example, the operation promotion notification may be performed using a light emitter such as a lamp or an LED. Also in this case, the light emission pattern (for example, the light emission color, the brightness, etc.) of the light emitters may be made different according to the timing of the operation promotion notification.

  Further, in the present embodiment, depending on which relief timing the operation promotion notification is performed, that is, depending on which mode the operation promotion notification is performed, subsequent effects are performed in different modes. Ru. For example, in the first relief timing (that is, the timing in FIG. 25D), when the operation promotion notification is performed according to the mode shown in FIG. 27A, when the player's operation is accepted during the operation valid period. When the operation effective period ends without accepting the operation of the player or the player, the lid member 319 is put in the open state, and the effect of changing the projection 370 from the storage state to the projection state by the projection operation (second operation) is performed. Be done. On the other hand, when the operation promotion notification is performed according to the mode shown in FIG. 27B at the second relief timing (ie after FIG. 25B and before the timing in FIG. 25C), the operation effective period is When the player's operation is accepted during the operation, or when the operation valid period ends without receiving the player's operation, the first movable body 302 is moved from the first rotation state to the second by the first corresponding operation. It is lowered again toward the second position while being rotated so as to be in the moving state, and the descent is stopped when the first movable body 302 reaches the second position, the lid member 319 is opened, and the protrusion The body 370 is changed from the stored state to the projecting state by the second operation. That is, when the operation promotion notification is performed in the mode of FIG. 27 (A), effects including the operations of FIGS. 25 (E) and 25 (F) are executed, and the operation promotion notification is performed by the mode of FIG. 27 (B). When it is received, an effect including the operation of FIG. 25 (F) is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, in addition to the difference in the operation of the first movable body 302 as described above, different images (a background image, an effect image, a character image, etc.) are displayed in the effect display device 5. Output With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the variety of effects and improve the interest. Note that the same image (background image, effect image, character image, etc.) may be displayed in the effect display device 5 without being limited to such a configuration, or the same effect sound may be output. It is also good.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the player is at the first timing and the second timing different from the first timing (for example, the first operation promotion timing and the second operation promotion timing. See FIG. 26). The notification means capable of executing an acceleration notification for prompting the motion of the motion, the movable movable body (for example, the first movable body 302), and the effect (for example, movable body rendition) accompanied by the movement of the movable body at the second timing It is equipped with the effect execution means that can be performed. Then, the notification means can execute the promotion notification in a different manner according to the execution situation of the effect at the second timing (for example, the mode of the operation promotion image to be displayed and the effect sound to be output are different. See FIG. 27). ). Therefore, the promotion notification can be performed by the mode according to the execution situation of the effect, and the promotion notification can be easily recognized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the notification means is a display means (for example, the effect display device 5) for displaying a specific display (for example, the operation promotion image 200a or the operation promotion image 200b) for prompting the player's action; Sound output means (for example, the speakers 8L and 8R) for outputting a specific sound (for example, the first operation promotion sound and the second operation promotion sound) for prompting the operation, and the display means executes the effect at the second timing The specific display can be displayed in a different manner according to the situation (for example, one of the operation promotion image 200a and the operation promotion image 200b is displayed according to the execution situation of the movable object effect. See FIG. 27), and the sound output. The means is capable of outputting a specific sound at a second timing in a mode different according to the execution situation of the effect (for example, the first operation promotion sound and the second operation promotion according to the execution situation of the movable object presentation Outputs one of the. See Figure 27). Therefore, depending on the situation, the promotion notification can be effectively executed, and the promotion notification can be easily recognized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined effect (the action of the player is detected based on the detection means capable of detecting the action of the player (for example, the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B) and the detection means. For example, an effect in which the cover member 319 is in the open state, and the protrusion 370 is changed from the storage state to the projection state by the projection operation (the second operation), a relief effect, etc. See FIGS. And a predetermined effect execution means capable of executing Then, the predetermined effect executing means can execute the predetermined effect in different modes according to which of the plural types of modes the prompt notification is executed by the informing means (for example, as shown in FIG. 27A) When the operation promotion notification is performed according to the mode, the effect including the operation of FIGS. 25E and 25F is performed, and when the operation promotion notification is performed according to the mode of FIG. The presentation including the operation of) is executed). Therefore, it is possible to increase the variety of effects and to improve the interest.

  Further, in the present embodiment, at the second timing, the notification means can execute the promotion notification in a mode different according to the position of the movable body (for example, the first movable body 302 has the first position and the second position). The mode of the operation prompting image to be displayed and the effect sound to be output differ depending on which of the two is arranged (see FIG. 27). Therefore, the promotion notification can be performed in a mode according to the position of the movable body, and the promotion notification can be easily recognized.

  A third embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to which the present invention is applied will be described. The configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment includes the same configuration as that of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, so the differences will be mainly described here.

  In the present embodiment, a serif effect that displays a serif image indicating whether the variation display result is a big hit based on the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B being received within the operation valid period during the variation display. Is feasible.

  FIG. 28 is an explanatory view showing an example of execution timings of the operation effect and the speech effect. In this embodiment, the operation effect can be executed before the start of the super reach, and the speech effect can be performed after the start of the super reach, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. The order of execution with the speech effect may be reversed, and execution may be performed at any timing during the variable display. Further, the execution mode of the operation effect or the speech effect may be different depending on the timing of the execution.

  In the speech effect, when the operation effective period comes, a character appears, and an operation promotion notification for urging the player to operate the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is executed using the character. Then, when the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is received within the operation valid period, or when the operation valid period elapses without receiving any operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, a big hit fluctuation pattern In some cases, the effect of notifying the character that the fluctuation display result is a big hit is executed, and in the case of the out-of-out fluctuation pattern, the effect of notifying the character that the fluctuation display result is out is performed .

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28, the timing at which the operation promotion notification is accompanied by the operation effect is also referred to as the first operation promotion timing, and the timing at which the operation promotion notification is accompanied by the speech effect is also called the third operation promotion timing.

  In the operation promotion notification at the first operation promotion timing and the third operation promotion timing, as the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, a dialogue image such as "Chance is!" Or "Press!" An operation promotion image including an image simulating the controller 31A or the push button 31B, an operation effective period image such as a meter display indicating an operation effective period, and the like is displayed, and an operation promotion sound is output.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of speech effects can be performed. For example, the character A image is displayed in the upper left portion of the display area of the effect display device 5, and the right side of the character A image (upper center of display area of the effect display device 5) And the character B image is displayed in the lower right portion of the display area of the effect display device 5, and the left side (effect display device of the character B image). There is a second speech effect (see FIG. 29 (B2)) in a mode in which a speech image is displayed in the lower center of the display area 5). Note that the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the type of speech effect. For example, the type of speech effect is determined by a different ratio depending on when the variation display result is a big hit and the time of out of phase, or the type of speech effect is determined by a different ratio according to the type of fluctuation pattern or super reach. It can be realized by making decisions.

  In the speech effect, the position where the character image or the speech image is displayed differs depending on the type. Therefore, at the third operation promotion timing, when the operation promotion image is displayed on the effect display device 5 as the operation promotion notification, there is a possibility that it may be difficult to recognize the operation promotion image depending on the execution situation of the speech effect. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the operation promotion notification can be performed in a mode different according to the execution situation of the effect.

  FIG. 29 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the operation promotion notification according to the execution situation of the speech effect. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29, the operation promotion notification is executed in a different manner according to the execution status of the speech effect, specifically, the display position of the character image or the speech image.

  First, examples of FIGS. 29A1 to 29D1 will be described. FIGS. 29A1 to 29D1 are specific examples of the operation promotion notification when the first speech effect is being performed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (A1), in the effect display device 5, when the first speech effect is started after the effect pattern is in the reach state, as shown in FIG. 29 (B1), the effect display device 5 The character A image is displayed in the upper left portion of the display area of the screen, and the dialogue image "chance is!" At this time, an operation prompting image 201a including an image simulating the push button 31B and an operation valid period image by meter display indicating the operation valid period is displayed at the lower center of the display area of the effect display device 5 as the operation prompting notification. At the same time, the first operation promotion sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. For these controls, for example, the effect control CPU 120 switches to process data for the first speech effect at the timing when the first speech effect is started, and controls the effect device (the effect component) according to the switched process data. Is realized by

  Then, when the operation of the push button 31B is accepted, as shown in FIG. 29 (C1), an explosion image is displayed and an explosion effect in which an explosion sound is output is executed. Then, as shown in FIG. 29 (D1), in the effect display device 5, a big hit symbol ("7" "7" "7") is displayed in the lower part of the display area, and the character A image is displayed in the upper left part of the display area. The dialogue image "big hit!" Is displayed on the right side of the character A image (upper center of the display area of the effect display device 5).

  Next, examples of FIGS. 29A2 to 29D2 will be described. FIG. 29: (A2)-(D2) is a specific example of the operation promotion alerting | reporting when 2nd serif production is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (A2), in the effect display device 5, when the second speech effect is started after the effect pattern is in the reach state, the character B image is displayed in the lower right portion of the display area of the effect display device 5. A serif image (for example, "super heat" indicating a big hit, etc. is not shown in FIG. 29) is displayed on the left side of the character B image (lower center of the display area of the effect display device 5). . Then, as shown in FIG. 29 (B2), an image simulating the push button 31B at the upper center of the display area of the effect display device 5, and an operation valid period image by meter display showing the operation valid period While the operation promotion image 201b containing is displayed, a 2nd operation promotion sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. At this time, a serif image ("Press!") Prompting the operation is displayed on the left side of the character B image (at the lower center of the display area of the effect display device 5). For these controls, for example, the effect control CPU 120 switches to process data for the second speech effect at the timing when the second speech effect is started, and controls the effect device (the effect component) according to the switched process data. Is realized by

  Then, when the operation of the push button 31B is received, as shown in FIG. 29 (C2), a lightning image is displayed and a lightning effect in which a lightning sound is output is executed. Then, as shown in FIG. 29 (D2), in the effect display device 5, a big hit symbol (“7” “7” “7”) is displayed in the upper part of the display area, and a character B image is displayed in the lower right part of the display area. The dialogue image "big hit!" Is displayed on the left side of the character B image (at the lower center of the display area of the effect display device 5).

  The size of the image imitating the push button 31B and the display position of the operation valid period image are different between the operation promotion image 201a and the operation promotion image 201b. Specifically, the operation valid period image is displayed in the lower part of the display area if the display position of the character image or the serif image is in the upper part of the display area, and if the display position of the character image or the serif image is in the lower part of the display area. Displayed at the top of the display area. That is, the operation valid period image is displayed at a position away from the character image or the speech image. Also, the content of the speech image is different. By using the operation promoting image in such a different mode, as shown in FIGS. 29A and 29B, the operation effective period image is displayed at a position away from the speech image, and the operation promoting notification is given. And the effective period of operation can be easily recognized.

  Further, by making the mode of the effect sound different with the operation promotion image, the operation promotion notification can be effectively executed. For example, when the jackpot expectation is configured to be different depending on the type of the speech effect, the execution status of the speech effect (for example, the type of the speech effect being executed (a character image or a speech image is displayed) Depending on the difference in position), the mode of the operation promotion notification can be made different. For example, if the big hit expectation is higher when the first speech effect is performed than when the second speech effect is performed, the operation promotion image 201a is brighter than the operation promotion image 201b. (For example, increase the size of the image simulating the push button 31B or the operation effective period image, or make the contents of the speech image different) or the first operation promotion sound is brighter than the second operation promotion sound. It may be a sound (for example, the volume is loud or the tempo is fast). By doing this, it is possible to create an effect according to the situation, and it is possible to effectively execute the operation promotion notification. When the timing (ie, the operation effective period) for performing the operation promotion notification is determined by a different ratio according to the type of fluctuation pattern or super reach, the type of fluctuation pattern or super reach may be determined. The ratio at which the operation promotion notification is performed at the timing when the big hit expectation is high, and the ratio at which the operation promotion notification is performed differ depending on the aspect where the big hit expectation is high.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the subsequent effects are performed in different modes according to which mode the operation promotion notification is executed. When the operation promotion notification is performed according to the mode shown in FIG. 29 (B1), when the operation of the player is accepted during the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without accepting the operation of the player, After the explosion effect is performed, an effect of notifying whether or not a big hit is performed is performed. On the other hand, when the operation promotion notification is performed according to the mode shown in FIG. 29 (B2), when the operation of the player is accepted during the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without accepting the operation of the player. After the lightning effect is executed, an effect of notifying whether or not a big hit is performed is executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the variety of effects and improve the interest. Note that the same image (background image, effect image, character image, etc.) may be displayed in the effect display device 5 without being limited to such a configuration, or the same effect sound may be output. It is also good.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the player is at the first timing and the second timing different from the first timing (for example, the first operation promoting timing and the third operation promoting timing; see FIG. 28). Informing means capable of executing an acceleration notification prompting the motion of the object, an operable movable body (for example, the first movable body 302), and displaying a predetermined effect image (for example, a character image or a speech image) at the second timing And an effect executing means capable of executing an effect to be performed. Then, the notification means can execute the promotion notification in a different mode according to the execution situation of the effect at the second timing (for example, according to what kind of effect is being executed, the operation promotion image to be displayed) The mode and the effect sound to be output are different (see FIG. 29). Therefore, the promotion notification can be performed by the mode according to the execution situation of the effect, and the promotion notification can be easily recognized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the presentation and the promotion notification for displaying a predetermined presentation image (for example, a character image or a speech image including a speech that suggests a big hit) is performed independently (see FIG. 29 (B1)) and executing a prompt notification using a predetermined effect image (or a part of the predetermined effect image) (for example, a speech image including a speech "press!" Prompting the operation is displayed 29 (B2)). Therefore, it is possible to enhance the variety of effects and enhance the effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the notification means is a display means (for example, the effect display device 5) for displaying a specific display (for example, the operation promotion image 201a or the operation promotion image 201b) for prompting the player's action; Sound output means (for example, the speakers 8L and 8R) for outputting a specific sound (for example, the first operation promotion sound and the second operation promotion sound) for prompting the operation, and the display means executes the effect at the second timing The specific display can be displayed in a different manner according to the situation (for example, according to the execution situation of the speech effect (in this example, which of the first speech effect and the second speech effect is being executed) operation promotion One of the image 201a and the operation prompting image 201b is displayed (refer to FIG. 29), the sound output unit can output the specific sound at a second timing in a mode different according to the execution situation of the effect One of the first operation promotion sound and the second operation promotion sound according to an execution state of the speech effect (for example, in the present example, which of the first speech effect and the second speech effect is being executed) Output (see FIG. 29). Therefore, depending on the situation, the promotion notification can be effectively executed, and the promotion notification can be easily recognized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined effect (the action of the player is detected based on the detection means capable of detecting the action of the player (for example, the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B) and the detection means. For example, it is provided with a predetermined effect execution means capable of executing effects (see (D1) and (D2) 5) shown in FIG. Then, the predetermined effect executing means can execute the predetermined effect in different modes according to which of the plural types of modes the prompt notification is executed by the informing means (for example, FIG. 29 (B1) When the operation promotion notification is performed according to the mode shown, after the explosion effect shown in FIG. 29 (C1) is performed, the effect to notify whether or not the big hit is performed is performed, and the operation promotion is performed according to the mode shown in FIG. When the notification is performed, after the lightning effect shown in FIG. 29 (C2) is performed, an effect of notifying whether or not a big hit is performed is performed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the variety of effects and to improve the interest.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the notification means can execute the promotion notification in a different mode according to the display position of the predetermined effect image at the second timing (for example, the character image and the speech image are produced by the speech effect) The mode of the operation prompting image to be displayed and the effect sound to be output are different depending on which of the upper and lower display areas of the display device 5 is displayed (see (B1) and (B2) in FIG. 29). Therefore, the promotion notification can be performed in a mode according to the display position of the predetermined effect image, and the promotion notification can be easily recognized.
