Which gaming state is set is displayed by a combination of lighting, extinguishing, or blinking of the six lamps.

  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The gaming machine of this embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 (game control means) and a sub board 102. The functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub-board 102 include various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or hardware such as RAM, This is realized by software including a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The main board 100 includes a pass gate sensor 104, a first start prize port sensor 106 (first detection means), a second start prize port sensor 108 (first detection means), a big prize port sensor 110 (second detection means), In response to an input signal from the input means such as the payout sensor 116, various calculations for proceeding with the game are performed, and based on the calculation results, the state display driving device 120, the normal accessory driving device 122, and the special accessory driving Operation control of output means such as the device 124 and the payout device 130 is performed.

  In addition, the sub-board 102 receives the signal sent from the main board 100 and the input signal from the effect button switch 150, and performs various calculations for executing the effects in accordance with the progress of the game. Based on the result, operation control of the effect devices 176 such as the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, and the effect product driving device 174 is performed.

  The main board 100 includes a random number generation unit 210, a normal lottery unit 220, a normal display control unit 222, a normal accessory control unit 224, a special lottery unit 230, a special display control unit 240, a game state transition control unit 250, and a special game execution. Means 260, payout control means 270, communication control means 280, and main memory 290 are included.

  The random number generation means 210 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator for generating hardware random numbers or a program for generating software random numbers. For example, the software random number can be generated based on a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The normal lottery means 220 acquires a random number for normal lottery from the random number generator 210 based on the detection signal input from the pass gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the pass gate 48 one by one. A normal lottery is performed to determine whether or not the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal random number storage unit 2912 of the main memory 290 and read from the normal random number storage unit 2912.

  Specifically, the ordinary random number storage unit 2912 is provided with four ordinary reserved storage areas, a normal reserved storage area 1 to a normal reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing the acquired random numbers for normal lottery. One normal reserved storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the normal lottery random values read from the storage area 1 and performing the normal lottery until the normal symbol variation display and stop display are completed. When the normal lottery means 220 acquires the normal lottery random value from the random number generator 210, the normal lottery means 220 acquires the normal lottery random number value in any of the normal reserved storage area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 4. The random number for ordinary lottery is first stored in the ordinary reserved storage area 1. When the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal reserved storage area 1, when the normal symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal reserved storage area. If not, the normal lottery random value is immediately read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has been performed is stored in the normal hold storage area. On the other hand, when the normal symbol is being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, when the random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area, the random number for normal lottery in the normal hold storage area 1 Hold on.

  When the normal lottery random value is held in the normal holding storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the passing gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random value is acquired, the normal lottery means 220 On the condition that the number of random numbers for normal lottery held in the normal holding storage area 1 to the normal holding storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of normal holding is less than 4. The random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area in which the random number for normal lottery is not held among the normal reserved storage area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 4 and the ordinal number is the smallest.

  When the normal symbol variation display and stop display are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random number value stored in the normal reserved storage area, and the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1. Is held, the normal lottery random value is read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has been performed is stored in the normal hold storage area. If the normal lottery random value remains after the normal hold storage area 2, the normal lottery random number remaining in the normal hold storage area has an ordinal number one less than the original normal hold storage area. Move to. For example, when the random number for normal lottery remains in the normal hold storage area 2 to the normal hold storage area 3, it is moved to the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 2.

  In this way, the normal random number storage means 2912 holds the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has been performed up to one in the normal hold storage area, while the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has not been performed is normally reserved. In the storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 4, four are held as upper limits.

  Hereinafter, details of the normal lottery will be described. The normal lottery means 220 performs a normal winning determination process, a normal variation pattern determination process, and the like as the normal lottery.

  The normal hit determination process is a process for determining whether or not the normal hit is true. In the normal winning determination process, the normal lottery means 220 refers to which normal lottery table among the plurality of types of normal lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the gaming state.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal lottery table A and the normal lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. In each normal lottery table, each of 100 random numbers for normal lottery from 0 to 99 is stored. On the other hand, normal hit or loss is associated. Specifically, in the normal lottery table A, the correspondence between the normal win or the loss and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the normal win is won with a probability of about 1/20. In the normal lottery table B, about 19 / Correspondence between the normal winning or losing and the random numbers for normal lottery of 0 to 99 is set so that the normal winning is won with a probability of 20. The normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the gaming state is neither the probability change state nor the short time state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the game state is the probability change state or the short time state. .

  Then, the normal lottery means 220 refers to the selected normal lottery table and determines whether or not one normal lottery random number value read from the normal hold storage area 1 of the normal random number storage means 2912 is associated with a normal hit. To determine whether or not the normal winning is won.

  The normal lottery means 220 sets the normal winning flag in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the normal win is won, and sets the normal win flag to the ON state. Set the winning flag OFF.

  The normal variation pattern determination process is a process for determining which of the plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the normal symbol is made according to the gaming state. In the normal variation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines that the variation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal variation pattern 1 when the gaming state is neither the probability variation state nor the time reduction state, and the game state is the probability variation state or the time reduction state. In some cases, the normal pattern variation pattern is determined to be the normal variation pattern 2.

  The normal display control means 222 is a means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs normal symbol display control processing and normal hold display control processing.

  In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 until the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol determined in the normal variation pattern determination process elapses. The normal symbol is variably displayed, and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 according to whether or not the normal winning is won in the normal hit determining process. The normal lottery result is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 72.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal variation pattern 1, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 10 seconds, and when the variation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal variation pattern 2 The normal symbol variation time is set to 1 second. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is neither the probability change state nor the short-time state, the normal symbol change pattern is determined as the normal change pattern 1, thereby changing the normal symbol change time. When the game state at the time when the normal lottery is set is 10 seconds and the game state is in a probabilistic state or a short time state, the normal symbol variation pattern is determined to be the normal variation pattern 2, thereby changing the normal symbol variation time. Since it is set to 1 second, the normal lottery execution trigger comes more frequently when the gaming state is the probability change state or the short time state.

  In the normal hold display control process, the normal display control means 222 turns on, turns off, or blinks the two lamps of the normal hold display section 74 according to the number of random numbers for normal lottery stored in the normal random number storage means 2912. Depending on the combination, the number of normal holdings of 0 to 4 is displayed.

  The ordinary accessory control means 224 is a means for controlling the ordinary accessory driving device 122 based on the lottery result of the ordinary lottery, and performs the ordinary accessory control processing 1, the ordinary accessory control processing 2, and the like.

  In the normal accessory control process 1, when the gaming state is neither the probability change state nor the short-time state, the normal symbol is stopped until 0.1 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating a normal winning. The driving control of the normal accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the accessory 52 returns to the contracted state after the enlarged state.

  In the normal accessory control process 2, when the game state is a probabilistic state or a short-time state, the normal accessory is displayed until 5 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating winning in the normal win. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the state returns to the contracted state after 52 is in the expanded state.

  Therefore, in the normal accessory control process 1, the normal accessory 52 operates so that the ease of entering the game ball into the second start winning opening 50 is hardly increased. The normal accessory 52 operates so that the ease of entering the game ball into the start winning opening 50 increases.

  The special lottery means 230 is for special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize port sensor 106 that detects the game balls entering the first start prize port 46 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 as the first special random number value. The special lottery means 230 also receives a special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the second start prize port sensor 108 that detects the game balls entering the second start prize slot 50 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as the second special random number value. Then, the special lottery means 230 performs a special lottery that determines whether or not the jackpot is won using the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914.

  Specifically, the special random number storage unit 2914 includes four first special reserved storage areas, a first special reserved storage area 1 to a first special reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing the acquired first special random number value. Four second special reserved storage areas, a second special reserved storage area 1 to a second special reserved storage area 4, are provided as storage areas for storing the acquired second special random number values, and the first special reserved storage area is provided. The first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 and subjected to the special lottery is stored until the change display and the stop display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol are finished. One special reserved storage area is provided as a storage area.

  And the special lottery means 230 will acquire the random number value for special lottery based on the detection signal input from the 1st start winning opening sensor 106, The 1st special reservation storage area 1-the 1st special reservation storage area 4 In any state in which the first special random number value is not stored, the acquired special lottery random value is first stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 as the first special random number value. At the time when the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area 1, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the first special reserved storage area 1 No special random number value or second special random number value is stored, no second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the gaming state If the game is not in the special gaming state, the first special random number value is immediately read from the first special reserved storage area 1 to perform a special lottery, and the first special random number value subjected to the special lottery is stored in the special reserved storage area. . On the other hand, whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed or stopped, that is, whether the first special random number value or the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, or the second special symbol If the second special random number value is stored in any one of the reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 or the gaming state is the special gaming state, the first special holding storage area 1 Hold special random values.

  When the first special random number value is held in the first special hold storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the first start winning port sensor 106 and the random number for special lottery is acquired, The special lottery means 230 is based on the condition that the number of the first special random number values reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, the first special reserved number. Is a reserved storage area in which the first special random number value is not reserved among the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, and the ordinal number is the smallest. Stored in one special reserved storage area as a first special random number value.

  Further, when the special lottery means 230 acquires the random number for special lottery based on the detection signal input from the second start winning a prize opening sensor 108, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 In any state in which no second special random number value is stored, the acquired special lottery random value is first stored in the second special reserved storage area 1 as the second special random number value. At the time when the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area 1, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the first special reserved memory area has a first If the special random number value or the second special random number value is not stored and the gaming state is not the special gaming state, the second special random number value is immediately read from the second special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The second special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is stored in the special reserved storage area. On the other hand, whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed or stopped, that is, the first special random number value or the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, or the gaming state Is in the special game state, the second special random number value is reserved in the second special reservation storage area 1.

  When the second special random number value is held in the second special hold storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the second start winning port sensor 108 and the special lottery random number value is acquired, The special lottery means 230 is based on the condition that the number of second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 is less than four, that is, the second special reserved number. Is the second special reserved storage area in which the second special random number value is not reserved among the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the ordinal number is minimum. Is stored as a second special random value in the second special reserved storage area.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 erases the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the special reserved storage area when the change display and stop display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol are completed. To do. When the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved memory area 1, the second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved memory area 1 to the second special reserved memory area 4. The first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed on the condition that the gaming state is not the special gaming state, and the first special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is Store in the special reserved storage area. On the other hand, when the second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 Even if the first special random number value is stored in any of the above, on the condition that the gaming state is not the special gaming state, the second special random number value is read from the second special holding storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, The second special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is stored in the special reserved storage area. That is, in the present embodiment, the second special random number value is given priority over the first special random number value. Regardless of whether the value is the first special random value or the second special random value, the first special random value or the second special random value is read out in the order stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 and a special lottery is performed. You may make it perform. That is, the special lottery may be performed by reading the first special random number value or the second special random number value in the order in which the game balls enter the first start winning opening 46 or the second starting winning opening 50.

  Then, when the first special random number value remains after the first special reserved storage area 2 when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1, or the second special reserved memory is stored. If the second special random number value remains after the second special reserved storage area 2 when the second special random number value is read from the area 1, the remaining first special random value or second special random value The random number value is moved from the original special reserved storage area to the special reserved storage area whose ordinal number is smaller by one. For example, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special random number value remains in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 The first special random number stored in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is assigned to each of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 3. When the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1, the second special random number value remains in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3. In this case, the second special random number stored in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3 is changed to the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 2, respectively. Move to.

  Thus, in the special random number storage means 2914, the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is reserved up to one in the special reserved storage area, and the special lottery is not performed. The special random number values are reserved up to four in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, and the second special random number values that have not been specially drawn are the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 1. 2 Reserved in the special reserved storage area 4 up to four.

  The details of the special lottery will be described below. The special lottery means 230 receives a jackpot determination random number value, a symbol determination random number value as a special lottery random value based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port sensor 108. A plurality of types of random values such as a variation group determination random value, a first variation pattern determination random value, and a second variation pattern determination random value are acquired, and the plurality of types of random values are stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as a first special random number. Store as a numerical value or a second special random value. The special lottery means 230 performs jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first variation pattern determination processing, second variation pattern determination processing, and the like as special lottery.

  The jackpot determination process is a single jackpot determination random number included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. This is a process of reading a numerical value and determining whether or not the jackpot is true. Here, one jackpot determination random number value is acquired from 65536 jackpot determination random number values from 0 to 65535 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port 108. The special random number storage means 2914 stores the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

  In the jackpot determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which of the multiple types of jackpot lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 is referred to perform the random number determination process. Select accordingly.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the big hit lottery table A and the big hit lottery table B as shown in FIG. In each jackpot lottery table, a jackpot or lose is associated with each of 65536 jackpot random numbers determined from 0 to 65535. Specifically, in the jackpot lottery table A, a correspondence relationship between the jackpot or losing and the jackpot determination random number value from 0 to 65535 is set so that the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/319. Correspondence between jackpot or loss and a jackpot decision random number from 0 to 65535 is set so that the jackpot is won with a probability of 1/31. The special lottery means 230 selects the jackpot lottery table A when the gaming state is the normal state or the short-time state, and selects the jackpot lottery table B when the gaming state is the probability change state.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected jackpot lottery table and determines whether or not the one jackpot determination random number value read is associated with the jackpot, thereby determining whether or not the jackpot has been won. decide.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 sets the jackpot winning flag in the flag storage means 2916 to the ON state when the jackpot is won, and sets the jackpot winning flag to the OFF state when the game is lost. To do.

  The symbol determination process is a process that is performed when a big win is won in the jackpot determination process, and the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage means 2914 is stored. Read out one symbol determination random number value included in the random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) out of the 16 round probability variation symbol, 4 round probability variation symbol, 16 round normal symbol, 4 round normal symbol This is a process for determining which one to use. Here, one symbol determination random number value is acquired from 100 symbol determination random numbers from 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port 108. The special random number storage means 2914 stores the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

  In the symbol determination process, the special lottery means 230 reads one symbol determination as to which of the plurality of types of symbol lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to perform the random number determination process. The selection is made depending on whether the random number value is stored as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the symbol lottery table A and the symbol lottery table B as shown in FIG. In each symbol lottery table, each of 100 symbol determination random numbers from 0 to 99 is associated with one of 16 round probability variation symbol, 4 round probability variation symbol, 16 round normal symbol, and 4 round normal symbol. ing. Specifically, in both the symbol lottery table A and the symbol lottery table B, a 16-round probability variable symbol is won with a probability of about 20/100, and a four-round probability variable symbol is winning with a probability of about 30/100. A 16-round normal symbol is elected with a probability of 100, and a 4-round normal symbol is elected with a probability of about 30/100. A 16-round probability variable symbol, a 4-round probability variable symbol, a 16-round normal symbol, a 4-round normal symbol and 0 Correspondence with random number values of ~ 99 is set.

  The special lottery means 230 selects the symbol lottery table A when the read one symbol determined random number value is stored as the first special random number value, and the read one symbol determined random number value is the second If it is stored as a special random value, the symbol lottery table B is selected.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected symbol lottery table, and determines which one of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols is associated with the one symbol determination random number value that has been read out. Decide which of the symbols is won.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 sets the winning flag corresponding to the winning jackpot symbol in the flag storage means 2916 to the ON state.

  The variable group determination process is a process that is performed when a big win is not won in the big hit determination process, and is stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. One variation group determination random number value included in the first special random value or the second special random value is read, and the variation group to which the variation pattern of the first special symbol or the second special symbol belongs is set to any one of group 0 to group 5. This is a process for determining whether to do. Here, one variable group determined random value is obtained from 100 variable group determined random values from 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port 108. It is acquired and stored in the special random number storage means 2914 as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the variable group determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which of the plurality of types of variable group lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to perform the random number determination process. Is selected according to the number of holdings and the gaming state, which is the sum of the number of first special holdings and the number of second special holdings.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the lottery table storage unit 2910 stores a variable group lottery table A to a variable group lottery table D as shown in FIG. In each variation group lottery table, one of group 0 to group 5 is associated with each of 100 variation group determination random numbers from 0 to 99. Then, the special lottery means 230 selects the variable group lottery table A when the gaming state at the time of performing the variable group determination process is the normal state and the holding number is 0 to 1, and the gaming state is the normal state. If the number of holds is 2 to 3, the variable group lottery table B is selected. If the game state is the normal state and the number of holds is 4 to 7, the variable group lottery table is selected. When C is selected and the game state is a certain change state or a short time state, the change group lottery table D is selected regardless of the number of holds.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected variation group lottery table, and determines which one of the plurality of types of variation groups is associated with the one variation group determination random number value thus read out. One variation group is determined from the plurality of variation groups.

  Therefore, in the variable group determination process, when the gaming state is the normal state and the number of holds is 0 to 1, any one of group 2, group 3, group 4 and group 5 is determined. When the gaming state is the normal state and the number of holds is 2 to 3, any one of group 1, group 2, group 4 and group 5 is determined, and the gaming state is the normal state. When the number of holds is 4 to 7, any one of group 1, group 4 and group 5 is determined, and when the gaming state is a certain change state or a short time state, regardless of the number of holds Any one of group 0, group 4 and group 5 is determined.

  The first variation pattern determination process is performed by using one of the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. The first variation pattern determination random number value is read, and the first half variation pattern corresponding to the first half portion (first portion) of the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed to any one of a plurality of types of first half variation patterns. This is a process for determining whether to do. Here, one first variation pattern determination random number value is obtained by inputting 100 detection signals from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second starting winning port 108, and 100 first variation patterns of 0 to 99. It is obtained from the determined random number value and stored in the special random number storage means 2914 as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the first variation pattern determination process, the special lottery means 230 refers to which of the plurality of types of first variation pattern lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 to perform the random number determination process. If you don't win a jackpot in the jackpot determination process, select according to the variable group determined in the variable group determination process, if you win a jackpot in the jackpot determination process, the game state and symbol determination process at that time Select according to the determined jackpot symbol.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first variation pattern lottery table A to the first variation pattern lottery table J as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are stored in the lottery table storage unit 2910. In each of the first variation pattern lottery tables, for each of 100 first variation pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99, any one of the first variation pattern 7 to the first variation pattern 7 is selected as a plurality of types of first variation patterns. It is associated. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the special lottery means 230 selects the first variation pattern lottery table A when the group 1 is determined without winning the jackpot, and the group 2 does not win the jackpot. If it is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table B is selected, and if the group 3 is determined without winning the jackpot, the first variation pattern lottery table C is selected and the jackpot is not won. When the group 4 is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table D is selected, and when the group 5 is determined without winning the jackpot, the first variation pattern lottery table E is selected and the jackpot If the group 0 is determined without winning, the first variation pattern lottery table F is selected, and as shown in FIG. Alternatively, when the 4-round probability variation symbol is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table G is selected, and when the big win is won in the normal state and the 16-round normal symbol or the 4-round normal symbol is determined, the first variation pattern G is selected. When the variation pattern lottery table H is selected, and when the big win is won in the probability variation state or the short time state and the 16 round probability variation symbol or the four round probability variation symbol is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table I is selected and the probability variation state or When the big win is won in the short time state and the 16 round normal symbol or the 4 round normal symbol is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table J is selected.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected first variation pattern lottery table and determines which one of the plurality of types of first-half variation patterns is associated with one read first variation pattern determination random value. Thus, one first half variation pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half variation patterns.

  Accordingly, in the first variation pattern determination process, when the jackpot is not won, any one of the first-half variation pattern 7 to the first-half variation pattern 7 shown in FIG. 7 is determined, and when the jackpot is won. Any one of the first half variation pattern 3 to the first half variation pattern 7 shown in FIG. 8 is determined.

  The second variation pattern determination process is performed by using one of the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. The second variation pattern determination random number value is read, and the latter half variation pattern corresponding to the latter half portion (second portion) of the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed to any of the plurality of types of latter half variation patterns. This is a process for determining whether to do. Here, one second variation pattern determining random number value is obtained by inputting 100 detection signals from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second starting winning port 108 and 100 second variation patterns of 0 to 99. It is obtained from the determined random number value and stored in the special random number storage means 2914 as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the second variation pattern determination process, the special lottery means 230 refers to which of the plurality of types of second variation pattern lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 to perform the random number determination process. Selection is made according to the first half variation pattern determined in the first variation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery table storage unit 2910 stores second variation pattern lottery table A to second variation pattern lottery table K as shown in FIGS. In each of the second variation pattern lottery tables, for each of 100 variation group determination random numbers from 0 to 99, there are no reach variation pattern 1 through reach variation pattern 3 and reach variation patterns 1 through reach variation pattern 5. Either one is associated.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the special lottery means 230 selects the second fluctuation pattern lottery table A and does not win the jackpot if the first half fluctuation pattern is determined without winning the jackpot. When the first variation pattern 1 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table B is selected, and when the first variation pattern 2 is determined without winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern lottery table C is selected. When the first variation pattern 3 is determined without winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern lottery table D is selected, and the first variation pattern 4 or the first variation pattern 5 is determined without winning the jackpot. In this case, when the second variation pattern lottery table E is selected and the first variation pattern 6 or the first variation pattern 7 is determined without winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern is determined. To select a turn lottery table F.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the first variation pattern 3 is determined by winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern lottery table G is selected, and when the first variation pattern 4 is determined by winning the jackpot. Selects the second variation pattern lottery table H, and when the big win is won and the first half variation pattern 5 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table I is selected and the big win is won and the first half variation pattern 6 is decided. If the first variation pattern lottery table J is selected, and the first variation pattern 7 is determined by winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern lottery table K is selected.

  Note that the correspondence relationship between the first variation pattern lottery table and the second variation pattern lottery table may not be a one-to-one relationship, and the first variation pattern lottery table and the second variation pattern lottery table may correspond to the determined variation group. The correspondence relationship with the variation pattern lottery table may be changed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected second variation pattern lottery table, and one read second variation pattern determination random number value corresponds to any of a plurality of types of reach variation patterns and a plurality of types of reach variation patterns. By determining whether they are attached, one second half variation pattern is determined from a plurality of types of reachless variation patterns and a plurality of types of reach variation patterns.

  Accordingly, in the second variation pattern determination process, when the jackpot is not won, any one of the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 shown in FIG. When one is determined and the jackpot is won, any one of reach variation patterns 1 to 5 shown in FIG. 10 is determined.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, variation times are set for each of a plurality of types of first-half variation patterns and a plurality of types of latter-half variation patterns. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, there is no first-half variation pattern to first-half variation pattern 2 that can be determined in the first variation pattern determination process when the jackpot is not won. A relatively short variation time is set, and the first variation pattern 3 to the first variation pattern 7 that can be determined by the first variation pattern determination process both when the jackpot is not won and when the jackpot is won is from 10 seconds. A relatively long fluctuation time of 30 seconds is set.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the reachless variation pattern 1 to the reachless variation pattern 3 that can be determined by the second variation pattern determination process when the jackpot is not won is relatively short from 1 second to 5 seconds. The variation time is set, and reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 that can be determined in the second variation pattern determination process of both the case where the jackpot is not won and the case where the jackpot is won is 20 seconds to 60 seconds. A relatively long variation time is set.

  Therefore, even if the jackpot is not won, in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern 3 to the first variation pattern 7 for which a relatively long variation time is set are determined, and the second variation pattern determination is performed. In the process, when the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 in which a relatively long variation time is set is determined, the player can have a sense of expectation for winning the jackpot.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the jackpot is not won and the game state is the normal state and the number of holdings is 0 to 1, in the variable group determination process, the variable group lottery table A shown in FIG. By making it easy to determine the group 2 or the group 3, the first variation pattern determination process refers to the first variation pattern lottery table B or the first variation pattern lottery table C shown in FIG. Is easily determined, and the first variation pattern 2 in which the variation time is set to 5 seconds is easily determined. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern shown in FIG. With reference to the lottery table B or the second fluctuation pattern lottery table C, the fluctuation pattern 2 with no reach and the fluctuation time of 5 are set with a fluctuation time of 2 seconds. None Reach is set variation pattern 3 is likely to be determined.

  Further, when the jackpot is not won and the game state is the normal state and the number of holds is 2 to 3, the variable group determination process refers to the variable group lottery table B shown in FIG. Alternatively, since the group 2 is easily determined, the first variation pattern determination process refers to the first variation pattern lottery table A or the first variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 7 and sets the variation time to 0 seconds. The first variation pattern 1 without the first variation pattern or the first variation pattern 1 whose variation time is set to 3 seconds is easily determined. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A or the second variation pattern A shown in FIG. With reference to the 2 fluctuation pattern lottery table B, the fluctuation pattern 1 with no fluctuation is set to 1 second, and the fluctuation time is set to 2 seconds. Reach No variation pattern 2 there are likely to be determined.

  Further, when the jackpot is not won and the game state is the normal state and the number of holds is 4 to 7, the variable group determination process refers to the variable group lottery table C shown in FIG. Is easily determined, and in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, and it is easy to determine the absence of the first variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds. Thus, in the second variation pattern determining process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 9 is referred to, and the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  Further, when the jackpot is not won and the gaming state is a probabilistic state or a short-time state, regardless of the number of holds, the variable group determination process refers to the variable group lottery table D shown in FIG. By being easily determined, in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table F shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, and it is easier to determine the absence of the first variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 9 is referred to, and the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  Therefore, if the big win is not won, the larger the number of holds in the normal state, the shorter the variation time is set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is possible to increase the frequency at which execution triggers arrive. In addition, in the probability variation state or the short time state, regardless of the number of holds, the shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Can be made higher.

  Further, as described above, the special lottery means 230 receives the first special symbol from the special random number storage means 2914 when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not variably displayed and the gaming state is not the special gaming state. The numerical value or the second special random number value is read out, and as a special lottery, jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first variation pattern determination processing, second variation pattern determination processing, and the like are performed. When storing the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern determination process, etc. (Prior judgment means).

  Specifically, the special lottery means 230 (preliminary determination means) is used for the special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize port sensor 106 or the second start prize port sensor 108. When the random number value is acquired, it is stored as the first special random number value in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved memory. Before storing as a second special random number value in any of the areas 4, depending on the gaming state and the number of holdings at that time, a jackpot determination process as a pre-determination process for the first special random value or the second special random value, Determination processing, variation group determination processing, first variation pattern determination processing, second variation pattern determination processing, and the like are performed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 obtains the prior determination results including the results of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, and the second variation pattern determination process as the prior determination process, Either the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area in association with the first special random number value or the second special random number value subjected to the prior determination process. Store in one of the first to second special reserved storage areas 4.

  The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and includes a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special hold display control. Processing and second special hold display control processing are performed.

  The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The first special symbol until the total variation time of the variation time according to the first half variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination processing and the variation time according to the second half variation pattern determined by the second variation pattern determination processing elapses. After the first special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the display unit 76, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 in a predetermined manner. Let

  In this embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is determined in advance corresponding to each of the four types of jackpot symbols and loses, and the special display control means 240 determines whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process. The first segment is turned on by turning on the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 in a manner corresponding to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination processing in a manner corresponding to the jackpot determination processing. The special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 76.

  The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The second special symbol until the total variation time of the variation time according to the first variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination processing and the variation time according to the second variation pattern determined by the second variation pattern determination processing elapses. After the second special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the display unit 80, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 in a predetermined manner. Let

  And the special display control means 240 is in a mode according to whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, and in the case of winning the jackpot in the jackpot determination process, it corresponds to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process In the aspect, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the second special symbol display unit 80.

  In the first special hold display control process, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the first special hold display section 78 in accordance with the number of first special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 first special reservation numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  In the second special hold display control process, the special display control unit 240 turns on the two lamps of the second special hold display unit 82 according to the number of second special random number values stored in the special random number storage unit 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 second special reservation numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the gaming state transition control means 250 transitions a gaming state between a normal state, a special gaming state, a probability variation state, and a short time state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. I do. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the special game state is possible. In the normal state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table A in which the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 1/20, and the jackpot lottery table A in which the winning probability per jackpot is set to 1/319 is obtained. A special lottery is performed with reference to the drawing.

  In the normal state, the winning probability per normal in the normal lottery is as low as about 1/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as long as 10 seconds, and the period in which the normal actor 52 is in the expanded state is 0.1 second. Therefore, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50.

  The special game state starts on the basis of winning a jackpot in the special lottery in the normal state, the probability variation state, and the short-time state, and a special game with a predetermined number of rounds (number of executions) is executed according to the type of the jackpot symbol It ends when it is done.

  Specifically, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16 round probability variation symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the 16 round special games from the first round to the 16th round are executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 4-round probability variable symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of 4 rounds from the first round to the fourth round is executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16 round normal symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the 16 round special games from the first round to the 16th round are executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  In addition, when the special game state is started on the basis of the fact that the winning flag of the 4 round normal symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the 4 round special games from the first round to the fourth round are executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  The probability change state starts when the special game state started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16-round probability variation symbol or the four-round probability variation symbol (probability variation symbol) is set to the ON state ends. Can be transferred to the special game state or the normal state. In the probability variation state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 19/20, and the jackpot lottery table B in which the winning probability per jackpot is set to 1/31. The player is more advantageous than the normal state in that a special lottery is performed with reference. Then, the probability variation state ends on the condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the probability variation state reaches 9999 times, and shifts to the normal state.

  Specifically, when the special gaming state ends, the gaming state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 9999) corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 9999 times) to the probability change end determination counter 2930 of the main memory 290, Every time a special lottery is performed in the probability variation state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of one game from the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930. When the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the probability variation state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the probability variation state, the win probability in the special lottery is set to 1/31. Therefore, the special gaming state is started before the number of special lotteries performed in the probability variation state reaches 9999 times. There is almost no transition to the state.

  In the probability variation state, the winning probability per normal in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, and the variation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, and the period during which the normal actor 52 is in the expanded state is long as 5 seconds. Therefore, it is advantageous to the player in that it is easier to enter the game ball into the second start winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  Also, in the probability variation state, a shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holds, and therefore, the special lottery execution opportunity is more frequent than in the normal state. It is coming.

  The short-time state starts when the special gaming state started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16-round normal symbol or the 4-round normal symbol is set to the ON state ends, and from the short-time state the special gaming state Or the transition to a normal state is possible. In the short-time state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the normal win probability is set to about 19/20, as in the probability variation state, but the jackpot win probability is about the same as in the normal state. The player is more disadvantageous than the probability variation state in that a special lottery is performed with reference to the jackpot lottery table A set at 1/319. Then, the time-saving state ends on the condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the time-saving state has reached 100 times, and shifts to the normal state.

  Specifically, the gaming state transition control means 250 has a value corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 times) in the shortening time end determination counter 2932 of the main memory 290 when the gaming state is shifted to the shortening state. (For example, 100) is written, and every time a special lottery is performed in the short time state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one time from the stored value of the short time end determination counter 2932. Then, when the stored value of the short time end determination counter 2932 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the short time state is ended.

  In the short-time state, as in the case of the probability variation state, the winning probability per normal in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, and the variation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, so that the normal accessory 52 is in an expanded state. Since the period is as long as 5 seconds, it is advantageous to the player in that the game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  In the short-time state, similar to the probability variation state, a shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holdings. The execution opportunity of is coming frequently.

  The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 4 and the like.

  The special game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that the 16-round probability variable symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 has a predetermined number of rounds for the 16-round probability variable symbol as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 16 times (for example, 16) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 1, in the special game of each round from the first round to the sixteenth round, the special timer 56 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is in the open state, or a big prize is won. When the mouth sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, the value of the big prize counter 2936 to which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added reaches the upper limit (for example, 10). Then, the drive control of the special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the fact that the 4-round probability variable symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 has a predetermined number of rounds for the 4-round probability variable symbol as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the value stored in the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 4), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each round from the first round to the fourth round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is in the open state, or a big prize is won. When the value of the number counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 3 is executed based on the fact that the 16-round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 uses the number of rounds predetermined for the 16-round probability variable symbol as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 16 times (for example, 16) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 3, in the special game of each round from the first round to the sixteenth round, the special timer 56 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is in the open state, or a big prize is won. When the value of the number counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 4 is executed based on the fact that the 4-round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 uses the round counter 2933 as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 with a predetermined number of rounds. A value corresponding to a certain 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the value stored in the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 4), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 4, in the special game of each round from the first round to the fourth round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is in the open state, or a big prize is won. When the value of the number counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The payout control means 270 receives a detection signal from the first start winning port sensor 106, a detection signal from the second start winning port sensor 108, and a detection signal from the big winning port sensor 110 based on the detection signal. Control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command that causes the payout device 130 to pay out four game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects a winning of one game ball, and the second Each time the start winning opening sensor 108 detects winning of one game ball, a command for paying out three gaming balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the big winning opening sensor 110 wins one gaming ball. Each time is detected, a command for paying out 15 game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted.

  The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the number of game balls instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank in which game balls are stored, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor so as to receive the number of game balls as instructed. Pay out from the game ball tank. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates each time one game ball is paid out. The payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on a payout signal from the payout sensor 116. The number of played game balls can be managed.

  The communication control unit 280 performs control to transmit various commands generated according to various calculation results in the main board 100 to the sub board 102. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Communication connection is made so that information cannot be transmitted.

  Next, the sub substrate 102 will be described. The sub board 102 includes an effect control means 300 and a sub memory 310.

  The effect control means 300 provides an effect display based on various commands transmitted from the main board 100, an input signal from the effect button switch 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub memory 310. The device 170 is controlled to turn on or blink the front frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38, the effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, the effect signal is output from the speaker 14 by controlling the audio device 172, By controlling the effect device 176 such as driving the effect material driving device 174 to operate the effect material, the effect device 176 causes the effect device 176 to execute an effect for exciting the game or assisting the game.

  In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large number of effect image data for causing the liquid crystal display 32 to display an image, and the effect control means 300 performs one frame (1) based on these effect image data. Every 60 seconds), an image is drawn in the frame buffer 3114 of the sub memory 310, and the drawn image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, whereby a moving image is reproduced and displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Then, the effect control means 300 performs a state effect process, a special lottery effect process, a hold display effect process, and the like as a process for causing the effect device 176 to execute an effect.

  In the state effect process, the effect control means 300 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 according to the current game state or the background image based on the command according to the game state or counter value on the main board 100. An effect that suggests the current gaming state to the player is executed by changing or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14.

  For example, when the current gaming state is the probability changing state or the time saving state, the effect control means 300 displays a specific state image indicating that the current gaming state is the probability changing state or the time saving state on the liquid crystal display 32.

  When the current game state is the special game state, the effect control means 300 indicates on the liquid crystal display 32 that the current game state is the special game state, and the number of rounds of the special game is displayed. A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether the game is being executed is displayed.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 performs an effect lottery that temporarily determines the content of the effect of the special lottery effect based on a command corresponding to the result of the prior determination when the pre-determination process is performed on the main board 100. When the special lottery is performed on the main board 100, the effect lottery for finally determining the effect content of the special lottery effect is performed based on a command corresponding to the result of the special lottery. In order to match the change display and stop display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76, or to match the change display and stop display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80, The effect device 176 is caused to execute a lottery effect.

  Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. The symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. Then, each time the special control lottery is performed by reading the first special random number value from the first special reservation storage area 1 and the production control means 300 starts the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76. Or every time the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, with the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80, FIG. As shown in (B), after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are variably displayed, whether or not the jackpot determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery is won. If the player wins a jackpot, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect are determined in accordance with the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process. The design pattern 354 is stopped and displayed, and in a manner corresponding to each of the plurality of types of production patterns, the background image is changed on the liquid crystal display 32, or the production video in which the character image is operated is reproduced and displayed. A special lottery effect corresponding to the type of the liquid crystal display 32 is executed. A downward arrow in the figure indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being displayed at high speed.

  More specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 generates a random number value for effect lottery based on the input of a command corresponding to the pre-determination result or a command corresponding to the result of the special lottery from the main board 100. As such, a plurality of types of random values such as a first effect pattern determination random value and a second effect pattern determination random value are acquired, and a first effect pattern determination process, a second effect pattern determination process, and the like are performed as an effect lottery.

  In the first effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired first effect pattern determination random value, the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half part of the special lottery effect is selected from among a plurality of types of first half effect patterns. It is a process to determine. In the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 performs random number determination processing with reference to any of the plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310. It is selected according to the first half variation pattern determined by the first variation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first lottery pattern storage unit 3112 stores the first variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 in the first lottery pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 7 respectively. Seven types of first effect pattern lottery tables of effect pattern lottery table A to first effect pattern lottery table G are stored (not shown). In each first effect pattern lottery table, one of a plurality of types of first-half effect patterns is associated with each of 100 first effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99. Then, if the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first variation pattern 2. If the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, the first effect pattern lottery table B corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the first variation pattern determination process is selected.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first effect pattern lottery table, and determines which one of the first half effect patterns is associated with one first effect pattern determination random value. A first half production pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half production patterns.

  In the second effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired second effect pattern determination random value, the latter half effect pattern corresponding to the latter half part of the special lottery effect is set to any of a plurality of types of the latter half effect patterns. It is a process to determine. In the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 performs random number determination processing by referring to any of the plurality of types of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310. It is selected according to the latter half fluctuation pattern determined by the second fluctuation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it corresponds to the case where the result of the second variation pattern determination process in the main board 100 is each of the variation pattern 1 without reach 1 to variation pattern 3 without reach and the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5. The effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables (second illustration pattern lottery table A to second effect pattern lottery table H) (not shown). In each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of 100 second effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns (unfair winning aspects) and a plurality of types of second-order effect patterns, and One of a plurality of types of reach production patterns (common mode) is associated. When the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern. If it is 1, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the latter half variation pattern determined in the second variation pattern determination process is selected.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected second effect pattern lottery table, and associates one second effect pattern determination random value with any of a plurality of types of reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns. By determining whether or not it is performed, one non-reach effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

  Here, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of first half production patterns, and the production time of the first half production pattern that can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table A is the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1. The production time of the first half production pattern that is set to the same 3 seconds and can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table B is set to 5 seconds that is the same as the fluctuation time of the first half variation pattern 2, and so on. The production time of the first half production pattern that can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first production pattern lottery table.

  In addition, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns and the plurality of types of reach production patterns, and the production times of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table A are as follows. These are all set to 1 second, which is the same as the variation time of the no reach variation pattern 1, and the production times of the plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table E are all the variations of the reach variation pattern 1. It is set to 20 seconds that is the same as the time, etc. The production time of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns or the plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by each second production pattern lottery table is the second production pattern lottery. Of reach variation pattern or reach variation pattern corresponding to the table It is set to be the same as the dynamic time.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control unit 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. In the total production time of the production time according to the first half production pattern determined by the first production pattern determination process and the production time according to the latter half production pattern decided by the second production pattern determination process The special lottery effect is executed. As a result, the variation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 and the effect time of the special lottery effect are synchronized.

  For example, when a jackpot is not won in the jackpot determination process, and a reach-less effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 is determined. With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the symbol display unit 80, as shown in FIG. 12B, the variable effect display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started. As shown in FIG. 12 (C), first, the left effect design 350 is displayed as a temporary stop so as to be slightly shaken without being completely stopped in any of the modes (the mode indicating “5” in FIG. 12 (C)). Then, as shown in FIG. 12D, the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from the left performance design 350.

  Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. Temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped. At substantially the same timing as displayed, as shown in FIG. 12 (F), the middle effect symbol 352 is completely stopped in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354. The fixed stop is displayed.

  In addition, for example, when the jackpot determination process is won or the jackpot determination process is not won, and the reach effect pattern is determined by the second effect pattern determination process, the first special As the first special symbol on the symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80 starts to be changed, the left effect symbol 350 and the middle effect symbol 352 are displayed as shown in FIG. Then, the variation display of the right effect design 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the left effect design 350 is first temporarily stopped, and then, as shown in FIG. 13 (C), the medium effect design 352 is displayed. The right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left performance design 350 while being variably displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (D), the reproduction display of the effect movie corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol display unit 80 or the second special symbol display unit 80 in the first special symbol display unit 76 is started. The replay display of the effect animation is finished within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol.

  More specifically, in the example of FIG. 13D, when an effect video in which character A fights character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of liquid crystal display 32, this effect video is reproduced and displayed. Is a reduction corresponding to the left effect symbol 350 at the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 displayed at the center of the display region of the liquid crystal display 32. A reduced production effect design 362 corresponding to a left production design 362 corresponding to a left production design 360, a reduced production design 362 corresponding to a middle production design 352, and a right production design 364 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 13D, the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode), while the reduced effect symbol 362 is variably displayed.

  If the jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 13E, an effect video in which the character A wins the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the liquid crystal is displayed. In the upper right of the display area of the display 32, the reduced winning design symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner as the reduced left effect design symbol 360 and the reduced right effect design symbol 364 (big hit mode), thereby winning the jackpot The person is notified temporarily.

  Then, the effect animation in which character A wins against character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 13F, the left effect symbol 350 and the medium effect symbol 352 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are confirmed and stopped at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. In addition, a sound effect that informs the player that the jackpot has been won is output from the speaker 14, so that the player is definitely notified that the jackpot has been won.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot is not won, as shown in FIG. 13 (H), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, an effect video in which the character A is defeated by the character B is played, and the liquid crystal In the upper right of the display area of the display 32, the reduced effect design 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (reach lose mode) different from the reduced left production design 360 and the reduced right production design 364, so that the big win is not won. The player is temporarily notified.

  Then, the moving image in which character A is defeated by character B is finished, and as shown in FIG. 13I, the left effect symbol 350, the medium effect symbol 352, and the temporary effect symbol 352 temporarily displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. Thus, the player is definitely notified that the jackpot has not been won.

  Here, in the special lottery effect process, a common effect video may be played back and displayed both when the jackpot is won and when the jackpot is not won. Can greatly increase the player's expectation of winning the jackpot.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the medium effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 with the effect pattern corresponding to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. Displaying the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 temporarily in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery while increasing the player's expectation for winning the jackpot by changing the display. Then, the result of the special lottery is notified to the player by displaying the fixed stop.

  In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is held in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290 based on a command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image indicating the status of the first special random value or the second special random value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14A, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 4 of the special random number storage unit 2914 are provided below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Corresponding to the special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, four reserved display areas (display areas) of a first reserved display area 411 to a fourth reserved display area 414 are provided. In the area, as shown in FIG. 14A, a first reserved image 420 indicating which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 stores the first special random number value, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 14B, the second reserved image 422 indicating which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 stores the second special random number value can be displayed. It has become.

  Specifically, the effect control means 300 is a case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1, when the first special random number value is stored, the first hold image 420 is displayed in the first hold display area 411, and the first special hold storage area 1 and the first special hold storage area 2 are respectively displayed. When the first special random number value is held, the first hold image 420 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, and so on. If the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4, the first special disorder reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 1st hold display according to the number of numerical values In each of the band 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 displays the first hold image 420. In the example of FIG. 14A, the second special random storage value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 1 Since the first special random number value is held in each of the special hold storage areas 3, the first hold image 420 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 to the third hold display area 413.

  In addition, the production control means 300 is stored in the second special reservation storage area 1 regardless of whether the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage area 4 stores the first special random number value. When the second special random number value is held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in the first hold display area 411, and the second special hold storage area 1 and the second special hold storage area 2 are displayed in the second hold. When the special random number value is held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, and so on. When the second special random number value is stored in any one of the two special reserved storage areas 4, the second special random value stored in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 Depending on the number, the first hold display area 4 1 respectively displaying the second hold image 422 of the fourth hold display area 414. In the example of FIG. 14 (B), the second special random number value is held in each of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 2, thereby the first hold display area 411 to the second hold. A second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

  Further, in the present embodiment, one corresponding reservation is made corresponding to the special reservation storage area of the special random number storage means 2914 in the area on the left side of the first reservation display area 411 in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. A display area 430 is provided, and when the first special random number value is read from the first special reservation storage area 1 and stored in the special reservation storage area, the display area 430 is the first reservation. When the image 420 is displayed and the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the special reserved storage area, the second reserved image 422 is displayed. .

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 14A, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, and the first special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area. As shown in FIG. 14C, the effect control means 300 moves the first hold image 420 displayed in the first hold display area 411 to the hold display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350, middle The display of variation of the effect design 352 and the right effect design 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is held with an ordinal number one smaller than the original hold display area. Display control to move to the display area is performed. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number that is the target of the current special lottery, and is displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the subject of the next special lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14D, when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a definite stop and the result of the current special lottery is displayed, the result is stored in the special reserved storage area. As the first special random number value is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. When the first special random number value is further read out from the first special hold storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300, although not shown, displays the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430 and the left effect design 350, the medium effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are started to be displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed in which the first hold image 420 is moved from the original hold display area to the hold display area whose ordinal number is one smaller.

  Although not shown, the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4 hold a plurality of second special random number values in the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 1. When the numerical value is read and the special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, the effect control means 300 displays the second reserved image 422 displayed in the first reserved display area 411. While moving to the hold display area 430, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are started to be changed, and the second hold displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the image 422 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area whose ordinal number is one smaller. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the current special lottery and is displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value to be subjected to the special lottery after the next time.

  Further, the production control means 300 obtains the first special random value after the first special random value or the second special random value is acquired according to the pre-determined result corresponding to the first special random value or the second special random value. The first special random number or the second special random value is obtained until the first special symbol or the second special random symbol is displayed, or after the first special random number or the second special random number is acquired. Producing a pre-read effect until the first special symbol or the second special random value acquired immediately before the numerical value or the second special random value is displayed until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special random number ends. 176 to execute. In the present embodiment, as the prefetching effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the prefetching effect is determined is used. Change, display an effect image around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image different from a normal background image Or In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, the pre-reading effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state or the short-time state, the first special random value is used. The pre-reading effect is not performed.

  Here, the production control means 300 does not win the jackpot when the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value wins the jackpot. If the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern, the pre-read effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, the special lottery means 230 is a case where the jackpot determination process performed as the pre-determination process does not win a jackpot, and is included in the first special random value or the second special random value. When the variable group determination random number value is an indefinite value that is one of 0 to 89, the indeterminate value information is set as a prior determination result, and when it is a fixed value that is any one of 90 to 99, Set fixed value information as a prior decision result.

  Then, if the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result is that the jackpot is won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not the prefetch effect can be executed for the first special random value or the second special random value. When the pre-reading effect lottery to be decided is performed, but the jackpot is not won, it is determined whether or not the fixed value information is included in the prior determination result, and the fixed value information is included In addition, a pre-reading effect lottery is performed.

  Thereby, in this embodiment, when the preliminary determination process is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value, and when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random value or the second special random value, Even if the number of holds has changed, if a special lottery is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value for which the execution of the pre-reading effect has been decided, it will be a case where the jackpot is won or the jackpot is not won Even in such a case, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

  And when the production | control control means 300 determines execution of a prefetch production | presentation by the prefetch production | presentation lottery about the 1st special random number value, the said special reservation storage area and the 1st special reservation storage area 1-the 1st special reservation storage area The first special random number value held in 4 and included in the pre-determination result among the first special random number values acquired before the first special random number value for which execution of the pre-reading effect is determined. The first special random value that is the result of the jackpot determination process is the one that won the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process that is included in the pre-judgment result is the one that was not won the jackpot, but fixed value information is included in the pre-judgment result When the first special random number value included does not exist, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  In addition, when execution of the prefetch effect is determined in the prefetch effect lottery for the second special random number value, it is reserved in the special reserve storage area and the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 4. Among the second special random numbers that are the second special random values and are acquired before the second special random values for which the execution of the prefetching effect is determined, the result of the jackpot determination process included in the prior determination result is The second special random number that is won in the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is that the jackpot is not won, but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information. When the special random number value does not exist, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  As a result, in this embodiment, when the execution of the pre-reading effect is determined for the first special random value or the second special random value, the winning of the jackpot for the first special random value or the second special random value that has already been put on hold is determined. If the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, or if the special lottery effect is determined to be executed in the reach effect pattern, it is executed with the determined jackpot The pre-reading effect may be started after the special game state is completed or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that is being executed or has been confirmed to be executed is ended. it can.

3. Control Method of this Embodiment Hereinafter, the control method of this embodiment will be described in detail. In this embodiment, when a predetermined effect with a high degree of expectation for jackpot is executed, the specific effect that increases the player's expectation for the target effect until the target effect is executed with the predetermined effect as the target effect. May be executed. 15 and 16 are diagrams showing images displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 when a specific effect is executed.

  First, in FIG. 15A, a special lottery is performed in the normal state and a reach variation pattern is determined, so that an image during reach corresponding to the reach effect pattern is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32 ( While the effect is being output), an effect sound corresponding to the displayed reach image is being output from the speaker 14 (effect is output). In the upper right part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced left effect symbol 360 is output. While the reduced right effect design 364 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach manner, the reduced effect design 362 is displayed variably. Then, in the hold display area 430, the first hold image 420 corresponding to the first special random number value that is the subject of the current special lottery is displayed, and the first special hold storage area 1 to the first special hold storage area Since the first special random number value is reserved in each of the three, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the third reserved display area 413.

  And in this embodiment, when it is determined to execute a specific effect with a predetermined effect executed in a special lottery effect as a target effect, when the timing determined according to the execution timing of the target effect comes, Execution of the specific production is started. In the present embodiment, as a specific effect, as shown in FIG. 15B, the center part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 is displayed in a state where an effect sound corresponding to the image during reach is being output while the image during reach is displayed. , The display of a specific image in which two swords collide with each other as a specific effect is started on the near side of the image being reached, and a specific sound in which two swords collide, such as “Kinkin!” The output is started, and the display of the specific image and the output of the specific sound are continued.

  And in this embodiment, even if it is a case where execution of a specific effect is continued, the priority effect that a display of an effect image and an output of an effect sound may be performed in priority to a specific effect. In this embodiment, as a priority effect, as shown in FIG. 15C, for example, an effect image in which character A appears while an effect image in which character A appears is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In this case, while the effect image of the priority effect is being displayed and the corresponding effect sound is being output, the reaching image and the specific image are not displayed but displayed. The effect sound and the specific sound corresponding to the reaching image are not output.

  When the priority effect is completed, as shown in FIG. 15D, the display of the specific image and the specific sound are displayed in the state where the effect sound corresponding to the image being reached is being output while the image being reached is being displayed again. Output resumes.

  In the present embodiment, when the timing immediately before the timing at which the target effect is executed arrives, the trigger effect that triggers the execution of the target effect is executed, and the specific effect ends. In this embodiment, as an opportunity effect, as shown in FIG. 15E, an opportunity image is displayed from the speaker 14 while an opportunity image in which the character A tears the screen with a sword is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. A production sound corresponding to is output. Then, when the timing for executing the target effect is reached, the opportunity effect is terminated and the target effect is executed. In this embodiment, as a target effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 15 (F), an effect image in which the character A says dialogue A is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the dialogue A is sent from the speaker 14. A production sound corresponding to is output.

  It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 15E, the corresponding effect sound is output while the opportunity image is displayed, and the corresponding effect while the effect image of the target effect is displayed as shown in FIG. While the sound is being output, the in-reach image is not displayed and the effect sound corresponding to the in-reach image is not output.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the special lottery effect in the normal state, the trigger effect and the target effect may be executed after the specific effect is continuously executed, while the specific effect is being executed. Other effects may be executed in preference to the specific effects.

  Further, in this embodiment, since a common effect is executed as a special lottery effect when the probability variation symbol is won in the normal state and when the normal symbol is won, the probability variation symbol and the normal symbol are determined from the contents of the special lottery effect. The player is unable to determine which of the winning symbols, and the special gaming state started based on winning the probability variation symbol and the special gaming state started based on winning the normal symbol Since a common effect is also executed as a special game effect in the game, the player cannot determine whether the game state after the end of the special game state will be a probable change state or a short-time state from the contents of the special game effect It has become.

  In this embodiment, at any timing in the special gaming state, which of the probability variation symbol and the normal symbol is won, that is, whether the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is the probability variation state or the short-time state? In some cases, a judgment effect that informs the player is executed, but when a judgment effect is executed, a specific effect may be executed with the judgment effect as the target effect.

  In this case, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15D, the execution of the specific effect is started from the state in which the reach image is displayed, and the display of the specific image is performed. Although the output of the specific sound is started, the opportunity effect shown in FIG. 15 (E) is not executed, and the special lottery effect proceeds while the execution of the specific effect is continued, and the player has won the jackpot A definite effect that is definitely notified is executed. As shown in FIG. 15G, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15 (G), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are confirmed and stopped in a big hit manner in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. While the confirmed image is displayed, the speaker 14 outputs the effect sound corresponding to the confirmed image, but the specific image is not displayed while the confirmed effect image is output while the confirmed image is displayed. No specific sound is output. In the finalized image shown in FIG. 15G, the result of the special lottery this time is displayed, so that the first special random number value stored in the special reserved storage area is erased. The first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 is deleted.

  When the specific effect is executed with the judge effect as the target effect, the game state is shifted to the special game state and the special game state is started while the execution of the specific effect is continued. A special game start effect to be notified is executed. In this embodiment, as a special game start effect, as shown in FIG. 15 (H), a bonus start image for notifying the player that the special game state is started is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. While the effect sound corresponding to the bonus start image is output from the speaker 14, the specific image is not displayed and the specific sound is also output while the corresponding effect sound is output while the bonus start image is displayed. Not. When the gaming state shifts to the special gaming state, the hold display area 430, the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414, the first hold image 420, or the second hold image 422 are not displayed.

  When the special game of the first round is started in the special game state, a special game effect indicating that the special game is being executed is executed. In the present embodiment, as a special game effect, as shown in FIG. 16 (A), in the entire area of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, an in-bonus image indicating that the special game of the current round is being executed is displayed. On the other hand, although the effect sound corresponding to the bonus image is output from the speaker 14, if the execution of the specific effect is continued in the special gaming state, the corresponding effect sound is output while the bonus image is displayed. In this state, the display of the specific image and the output of the specific sound are resumed.

  In the present embodiment, when the special game state is entered by winning the 16-round probability variation symbol or the 16-round normal symbol, when the special game of the tenth round is started, as a priority effect, for example, FIG. As shown in (B), in all areas of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the corresponding effect sound may be output while the effect image in which the character A and the character B appear and both start fighting is displayed. In this case, while the effect image of the priority effect is displayed and the corresponding effect sound is output, the specific image is not displayed and the specific sound is not output.

  Then, when the special game of the eleventh round is started, the priority effect ends, but an image in which the characters A and B fight is displayed as the bonus image, and the bonus image is displayed as shown in FIG. The display of the specific image and the output of the specific sound are resumed in a state where the corresponding effect sound is output while being displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the judgment effect that is the target effect is executed after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of the special game of the 16th round, and therefore immediately before the timing of executing the judge effect in the special game of the 16th round. When the timing comes, the opportunity effect is executed and the specific effect is ended. In this embodiment, as an opportunity effect even in the special gaming state, as shown in FIG. 16D, the speaker A displays the opportunity image that the character A cuts the screen with the sword in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. 14, the effect sound corresponding to the opportunity image is output.

  Then, when the timing for executing the judge effect in the special game of the 16th round comes, the opportunity effect is ended and the judge effect is executed as the target effect. In the present embodiment, as a judgment effect indicating that the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is a probable change state, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (E), the character A is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. An effect sound corresponding to the judge image is output from the speaker 14 while the winning judge image is displayed.

  It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 16D, the corresponding effect sound is output while the opportunity image is displayed, and the corresponding effect sound is output while the judge image is displayed as shown in FIG. While the image is being played, the bonus bonus image is not displayed and the effect sound corresponding to the bonus bonus image is not output.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the execution of the specific effect is continued from the special lottery effect in the normal state to the special game effect in the special game state, and the opportunity effect and the target effect are executed in the special game effect in the special game state. However, other effects may be executed in preference to the specific effects while the specific effects are being executed.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the judgment effect is not executed in the special game state, the common effect is also executed as the effect change state after the end of the special game state and the effect in the short time state, so the probability change state or the normal state From the contents of the effects in the game, the player cannot discriminate whether the game state after the end of the special game state is the probability change state or the normal state.

  In the present embodiment, when the judgment effect is not executed in the special game state, the predetermined effect having a high expectation level for the jackpot is executed at any timing in the probability change state and the short time state after the special game state ends. In some cases, the specific effect may be executed with the predetermined effect as the target effect.

  In this case, in this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 16A to 16C, the execution of the specific effect is started from the state where the bonus image is displayed, and the display of the specific image is performed. The specific sound is output, but the opportunity effect shown in FIG. 16 (D) and the judge effect shown in FIG. 16 (E) are not executed, and the special game effect is continued while the execution of the specific effect is continued. As the game progresses and the special game of the 16th round ends, a bonus end effect is executed. In the present embodiment, as the bonus end effect, as shown in FIG. 16F, the game balls acquired by the player in the special game state that the special game state is ended in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. An effect sound corresponding to the bonus end image is output from the speaker 14 while a bonus end image for informing the player of the number of the bonus end images is displayed, but a corresponding effect sound is output while the bonus end image is displayed. During this time, no specific image is displayed and no specific sound is output.

  In this case, the specific state start effect for notifying the player that the gaming state is shifted to the probability changing state or the time saving state and the probability changing state or the time saving state is started while the execution of the specific effect is continued. Executed. In the present embodiment, as the specific state start effect, as shown in FIG. 16G, a chance time start to notify the player that the probability variation state or the short time state is started in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32 is started. An effect sound corresponding to the chance time start image is output from the speaker 14 while the image is displayed, but the specific image is displayed while the corresponding effect sound is output while the chance time start image is displayed. No specific sound is output.

  Here, in the chance time start image shown in FIG. 16 (G), the hold display area 430 and the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 are displayed, and the second start winning opening 50 is displayed in the special game state. When the game ball enters and the second special random number value is held in each of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4, the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 are stored. The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the above.

  When the specific state start effect ends, the specific state effect indicating that the gaming state is the probability change state or the time-short state is executed. In the present embodiment, as the specific state effect, as shown in FIG. 16H, an image during the chance time indicating that the gaming state is the probability change state or the short time state is displayed in the entire display region of the liquid crystal display 32. While the effect sound corresponding to the image during the chance time is output, if the execution of the specific effect is continued in the probability variation state or the short time state, the corresponding effect sound is output while the image during the chance time is displayed. In this state, the display of the specific image and the output of the specific sound are resumed.

  In the middle of chance time image shown in FIG. 16 (H), the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area. Is stored, the second hold image 422 displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 is moved, and at the upper right part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 The variable left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are displayed in a variable manner, and a special lottery effect in the probability variation state or the short time state is performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the execution of the specific effect is continued in the probability variation state or the short time state, the execution of the predetermined effect in the special lottery effect in the probability variation state or the time reduction state is targeted for the predetermined effect. When it is determined whether or not to produce an effect, and when it is decided to set a predetermined effect as the target effect, when the timing just before the timing at which the target effect is executed arrives, as shown in FIG. The trigger effect is executed and the specific effect is ended. Then, when the timing for executing the target effect is reached, the opportunity effect is terminated and the target effect is executed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the execution of the specific effect is continued from the special game effect in the special game state to the special lottery effect in the probability change state or the short time state after the special game state ends, and the special lottery in the probability change state or the short time state. In the production, the opportunity production and the target production may be executed. However, while the specific production is being executed, another production may be executed in preference to the specific production.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining a plurality of layers used when rendering an effect image in the frame buffer 3114. In the present embodiment, when an effect image is drawn in the frame buffer 3114, a corresponding effect image is drawn in each of a plurality of layers having different priorities to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, a background image is drawn in the entire drawing area corresponding to the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 in the first layer 500 shown in FIG. In the second layer 502 shown, effect symbols such as a left effect symbol 350, a middle effect symbol 352, and a right effect symbol 354 are drawn in a part of the drawing area corresponding to the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and FIG. The third layer 504 shown in FIG. 3C) includes the reserved display area 430 and the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 and the first reserved area in a part of the drawing area corresponding to the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Although not drawn in the hold display of the hold image 420 or the like and the example shown in FIG. 17C, the reduced play such as the reduced left effect design 360, the reduced effect design 362, the reduced right effect design 364, and the like. Symbols are drawn. In the example of FIG. 17, the priority of the first layer 500 is set to the lowest, and the priority of the third layer 504 is set to the highest. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 17D, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 in preference to the background image, and the left effect symbol 350, The hold display area 430, the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414, and the first hold image 420 are displayed in preference to the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354.

  18 to 20 are diagrams illustrating the timing at which an image is drawn on each layer and the priority of each layer when the above-described specific image is drawn. Here, in FIGS. 18 to 20, the horizontal axis indicates the passage of time, the vertical axis indicates the priority, and the layer with the higher priority set is shown above. For example, the layer where the background image shown at the bottom of the figure is drawn has the lowest priority, and the effect design shown above the layer where the background image is drawn is drawn The second lowest priority is set, and the layer where the reserved display or reduced effect design is drawn above the layer where the effect design is drawn is the layer where the effect design is drawn. A priority higher than the priority is set.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of timing and priority at which an image is drawn on each layer when a specific effect is executed in a special lottery effect in a normal state. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the reach image is drawn in the entire area before the start of the execution of the specific effect, but the priority of the layer on which the reach image is drawn is drawn by the effect symbol. The priority is set higher than the priority of the layer to be displayed, but lower than the priority of the layer on which the suspended display or reduced effect design is drawn. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15A, the background image is not displayed, but the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are displayed, and the hold display area 430 and the first hold While the display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 and the first hold image 420 are displayed, the reaching image is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18, when the timing for starting execution of the specific effect arrives, the specific image is drawn in a part of the area, but the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn is determined as the reach image. Is set higher than the priority of the layer to be drawn, but lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15B, the specific image is displayed on the front side of the reaching image.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18, when the timing for starting the priority effect arrives, the effect image of the priority effect is drawn in the entire area, but the priority of the layer on which the effect image of the priority effect is drawn is specified. The priority is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the image is drawn, but lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15C, the effect image of the priority effect is displayed without displaying the reaching image and the specific image.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18, when the timing for starting the trigger effect arrives, the execution of the specific effect is terminated, and the layer on which the specific image is drawn is reset to the initial state, while the trigger image and the target effect are displayed. Although each image is drawn in the entire region in the order of the effect image of, the priority of the layer where the effect image or the effect image of the target effect is drawn is higher than the priority of the layer where the image during reach is drawn, It is set lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 15E to 15F, the reach image or the effect image of the target effect is displayed without displaying the reaching image.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18, when the final stop timing arrives, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are determined and stopped, the effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern is ended, and the reach is in progress. While the layer on which the image was drawn is reset to the initial state, the finalized image is drawn on the entire area, but the priority of the layer on which the finalized image is drawn is the priority of the layer on which the production pattern is drawn The priority is set lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15G, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are not displayed, and the confirmed image is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18, when the state transition timing arrives, the finalized effect is terminated, the layer on which the finalized image is drawn is reset to the initial state, and the gaming state is changed from the normal state to the special gaming state. When the bonus start image is drawn in the entire area and the special game of the first round is started, the bonus in-progress image is drawn in the entire area, but the bonus start image or the bonus in-progress image is drawn. Is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. Thus, in the special game state, as shown in FIGS. 15H to 16C, the hold display area 430 and the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414, the first hold image 420 or The bonus start image or the bonus middle image is displayed without displaying the second reserved image 422.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of timing and priority at which an image is drawn on each layer when a specific effect is executed from a special lottery effect in a normal state to a special game effect in a special game state. In the example shown in FIG. 19, in the special lottery effect in the normal state, the execution of the specific effect has already been started, and the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn is the reach image as in the example shown in FIG. 18. Is set higher than the priority of the layer to be drawn, but lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. However, unlike the example shown in FIG. 18, the predetermined effect in the special lottery effect is not determined as the target effect, and the trigger effect is not executed in the special lottery effect, so the execution of the specific effect is continued without being ended. .

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, as in the example shown in FIG. 18, when the final stop timing arrives, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in the reach effect pattern. The corresponding rendering is finished and the layer where the image being reached was drawn is reset to the initial state, while the confirmed image is drawn in all areas, but the priority of the layer where the confirmed image is drawn is specified The priority is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the image is drawn, but lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. Thereby, although execution of the specific effect is continued in the example of FIG. 19, as shown in FIG. 15G, the specific image is not displayed and the confirmed image is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, when the state transition timing (specific opportunity) arrives, the confirmed effect is terminated, and the layer on which the confirmed image is drawn is reset to the initial state, while the gaming state is changed from the normal state. Even if the special game state is shifted to, the execution of the specific effect is continued, and when the game state is shifted from the normal state to the special game state, the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn is displayed on hold or reduced. Is changed from a lower level to a higher level than the priority of the layer to be drawn.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, as in the example shown in FIG. 18, when the gaming state is shifted from the normal state to the special gaming state, the bonus start image is drawn in the entire area. Then, the priority of the layer on which the bonus start image is drawn is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn. Thereby, in this embodiment, even if it is a case where a specific effect is continued also in a special game state, as shown in FIG.15 (H), the said holding | maintenance display area 430 and the 1st holding | maintenance display area 411-4th. The bonus start image is displayed without displaying the hold display area 414, the first hold image 420, or the second hold image 422, and without displaying the specific image.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, as in the example shown in FIG. 18, when the special game of the first round is started, the bonus medium image is drawn in the entire area. Is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn, but lower than the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn. Thereby, in this embodiment, when the specific effect is continued even in the special game state, as shown in FIG. 16A, the hold display area 430 and the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display. The area 414, the first reserved image 420, or the second reserved image 422 is not displayed, and the specific image is displayed in front of the bonus bonus image in a state where the bonus bonus image is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, when the special game of the 10th round is started, the effect image of the priority effect is drawn in all areas, but the priority of the layer in which the effect image of the priority effect is drawn is The priority is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn. As a result, as shown in FIG. 16B, the effect image of the priority effect is displayed without displaying the bonus image and the specific image.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, when the special game of the 16th round is started, the execution of the specific effect is ended, and the layer on which the specific image is drawn is reset to the initial state, Each image is drawn in the entire area in the order of the judge image. The priority of the layer on which the opportunity image or the judge image is drawn is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the bonus medium image is drawn. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 16D to 16E, the trigger image or the judge image is displayed without displaying the bonus image.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, when the special game of the 16th round is completed, the bonus end image is drawn in the entire area, but the priority of the layer on which the bonus end image is drawn is set to the hold display or reduced effect design. Is set higher than the priority of the layer to be drawn. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 16F, the hold display area 430, the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414, the first hold image 420, or the second hold image 422 are not displayed. A bonus end image is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, when the timing of state transition arrives, the bonus end effect is ended and the layer on which the bonus end image is drawn is reset to the initial state, while the gaming state is changed from the special gaming state. When transitioning to the probabilistic state or the short-time state, the chance time start image is drawn in the entire area, but the priority of the layer on which the chance time start image is drawn is higher than the priority of the layer on which the production pattern is drawn Although it is high, it is set lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. Thus, as shown in FIG. 16G, the hold display area 430, the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414, and the second hold image 422 are displayed, but the specific image is being displayed. A chance time start image is displayed.

  FIG. 20 shows the timing and priority for drawing an image on each layer when the execution of the specific effect is continued from the special game effect in the special game state to the probability change state after the end of the special game state or the special lottery effect in the short time state. It is a figure which shows the example of a degree. In the example shown in FIG. 20, the execution of the specific effect is continued in the special game effect in the special game state, and the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn is set to the bonus medium image as in the example shown in FIG. Is set higher than the priority of the layer to be drawn. However, unlike the example shown in FIG. 19, the judgment effect is not determined as the target effect, and the trigger effect is not executed in the special game effect, so that the execution of the specific effect is continued without being ended.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20, as in the example shown in FIG. 19, when the special game of the 16th round is completed, the bonus end image is drawn in all areas, but the priority of the layer in which the bonus end image is drawn is drawn. The degree is set higher than the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn. As a result, the execution of the specific effect is continued in the example of FIG. 20, but the bonus end image is displayed without displaying the specific image as shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20, when the state transition timing (specific opportunity) arrives, the bonus end effect is ended, and the layer on which the bonus end image is drawn is reset to the initial state, while the gaming state is Even if the special game state is changed to the probability change state or the short-time state, the execution of the specific effect is continued, and when the game state is changed from the special game state to the probability change state or the time-short state, the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn is given. The degree is changed from a higher state to a lower state than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20, as in the example shown in FIG. 19, when the gaming state is shifted from the special gaming state to the probable change state or the short-time state, the chance time start image is drawn in the entire region. In the example shown in FIG. 20, the priority of the layer on which the chance time start image is drawn is lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn, but is higher than the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn. It is set high. Thereby, in this embodiment, even if it is a case where a specific effect is continued also in a probability change state or a time-short state, as shown in FIG.16 (G), the said hold display area 430 and the 1st hold display area 411-. The fourth hold display area 414 and the second hold image 422 are displayed, but the specific image is not displayed and the chance time start image is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, when the variation start timing arrives, variation display of the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 is started, and the image during the chance time is drawn in the entire region. However, the priority of the layer in which the image is drawn during the chance time is set higher than the priority of the layer in which the production symbol is drawn, but is lower than the priority of the layer in which the specific image is drawn. Is set. Thereby, in this embodiment, when a specific effect is continued even in the probability variation state or the short time state, as shown in FIG. 16 (H), the hold display area 430 and the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold. The hold display area 414 and the second hold image 422 are displayed, the reduced left effect design 360, the reduced effect design 362, and the reduced right effect design 364 are variably displayed, and the chance time is displayed in the state where the image during the chance time is displayed. A specific image is displayed in front of the middle image.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20, when the next fluctuation start timing arrives, the effect image of the priority effect is drawn in the entire area, but the priority of the layer in which the effect image of the priority effect is drawn is the specific image. Is set higher than the priority of the layer to be drawn, but lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. As a result, similar to the example shown in FIG. 15C, the effect image of the priority effect is displayed without displaying the mid-chance time image and the specific image.

  Although not shown in the example shown in FIG. 20, when the timing for starting the trigger effect arrives, the execution of the specific effect is ended, and the layer on which the specific image is drawn is reset to the initial state, while the trigger is started. Each image is drawn in all areas in the order of the image and the effect image of the target effect, but the priority of the layer where the opportunity image or the effect image of the target effect is drawn is the priority of the layer where the image during the chance time is drawn The priority is set lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. As a result, similar to the example shown in FIGS. 15E to 15F, the opportunity image or the effect image of the target effect is displayed without displaying the image during the chance time.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the execution of the specific effect is continued from the special lottery effect in the normal state to the special game effect in the special game state, the timing at which the game state transitions from the normal state to the special game state is determined. When the layer arrives, the layer on which the final image is drawn is reset to the initial state, while the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn is lower than the priority of the layer on which the hold display or reduced effect design is drawn. Change from state to high state.

  In addition, when the execution of the specific effect is continued from the special game effect in the special game state to the probability change state after the end of the special game state or the special lottery effect in the short time state, the game is changed from the special game state to the probability change state or the short time state. When the timing for state transition arrives, the layer on which the bonus end image was drawn is reset to the initial state, while the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn is drawn as a hold display or reduced effect design It is changed from a higher state to a lower state than the priority of the layer.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, in accordance with the transition of the gaming state, the effect image is appropriately displayed by resetting the layer on which each effect image is drawn to the initial state or changing the priority. I am doing so.

4). Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  First, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the specific effect is ended when the trigger effect is started. However, the specific effect continues even when the trigger effect is started, and the specific effect is started when the target effect is started. May be ended, or the specific effect may be continued until the target effect ends.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the specific effect is executed with the judge effect as the target effect has been described. However, the predetermined effect that increases the player's expectation for the judge effect before the judge effect is executed is a special game. It is executed in the state, and the specific effect may be executed with the predetermined effect in the special gaming state as the target effect.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the timing at which the gaming state transitions from the normal state to the special gaming state, or the timing at which the gaming state transitions from the special gaming state to the probable change state or the time saving state arrives, the layer of the layer on which the specific image is drawn Although an example in which the priority is changed has been described, even when the timing at which the gaming state transitions from the normal state to the special gaming state, or the timing at which the gaming state transitions from the special gaming state to the certain change state or the short-time state has arrived The priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn may not be changed. In this case, for example, the execution of the specific effect continues from the special lottery effect in the normal state to the special game effect in the special game state, and further over the probability change state after the end of the special game state or the special lottery effect in the short time state. In addition, the specific image is displayed in the special lottery effect in the normal state and the special lottery effect in the probability variation state or the short-time state, but the specific image can be prevented from being displayed in the special game effect in the special game state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, while the effect image, the trigger image, the target image, the final image, the bonus start image, the bonus end image, or the chance time start image is displayed while the corresponding effect sound is being output, Although the specific image is not displayed and the specific sound is not described, the effect image, the trigger image, the target image, the final image, the bonus start image, the bonus end image, or the chance time start image are displayed. While the corresponding effect sound is output, the specific sound may be output although the specific image is not displayed.

  In the above embodiment, a specific image is drawn as the priority of the layer on which the effect image, the trigger image, the target image, the confirmed image, the bonus start image, the bonus end image, or the chance time start image is drawn. Although an example in which the priority is set higher than the priority of the layer has been described, it may be set lower than the priority of the layer on which the specific image is drawn. In other words, the specific image is displayed even while the corresponding effect sound is output while the effect image, the trigger image, the target image, the confirmed image, the bonus start image, the bonus end image, or the chance time start image is displayed. A specific sound may be output while is displayed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment and the modification, the example in which the priority of each of the plurality of layers used when rendering the effect image in the frame buffer 3114 is changed at a specific opportunity or the example in which the priority is not changed at a specific opportunity has been described. However, while providing multiple run players to control which of the multiple production lamps output the production light, the priority of each of the multiple run players can be changed at a specific opportunity, or even at a specific opportunity It may be possible not to make it, or while providing multiple channels for outputting the production sound, the priority of each of the multiple channels may be changed at a specific opportunity, or it may not be changed even at a specific opportunity Also good.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine that has a game area in which a game ball moves and launches the game ball in accordance with a player's operation has been described. Revolving type equipped with multiple reels with symbols arranged, lottery according to the player's operation for each game, rotating multiple reels and stopping multiple reels in a manner according to the lottery result The present invention may be applied to a gaming machine (pachislot gaming machine).
