To provide a slot machine capable of making it difficult to fail to suggest that a shift is to be made to an advantageous state.SOLUTION: When a symbol image of a "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" is displayed in a combination presentation, visibility of a character image of "BONUS ESTABLISHED" is reduced more than when the symbol image of the "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" is not displayed in a bonus establishment presentation, or the like. On the other hand, when bell symbol images are displayed in a small winning combination suggestion presentation, the visibility of the character image of the "BONUS ESTABLISHED" is not reduced more than at least when the symbol image of the "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" is displayed in the combination presentation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

The present invention is provided with a plurality of variable display units capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable, and after the variable display unit is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. The present invention also relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine that can generate a prize according to a display result combination that is a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display units.

A slot machine, which is a type of gaming machine, generally includes a variable display unit having a reel having a plurality of types of symbols as identification information drawn on its outer periphery, and a start switch with a specified number of bets set. When the reel starts to rotate and the stop switch is operated to stop the rotation of the reel, a symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter symbol combination) predetermined on the winning line Is derived as a display result combination or combination).

As types of roles, there are types such as a small role, a special role, and a replay role. Here, when the display result corresponding to the small combination is derived on the winning line, the number of medals determined for each type of small combination is paid out. If the display result corresponding to the special role is derived on the winning line,
The gaming state can be shifted to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, such as a regular bonus or a big bonus. If the display result corresponding to the re-player is derived on the winning line,
The next game can be played without consuming new medals for setting the number of bets.

As an example of such a slot machine, there is disclosed one that executes a bonus finalizing effect for informing that a bonus of either BB (Big Bonus) or RB (Regular Bonus) is won (for example, a patent) Reference 1). The bonus finalization effect of Patent Document 1 can not only notify that the bonus has been won, but can also notify the type of the winning bonus.
As an example of such a slot machine, when a bonus image is displayed on the effect screen when a bonus is won, a character image of “Bonus RUSH!”, Which is information that can specify that the bonus has been won, is displayed. Among the character images, there is disclosed one that can display “red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol”, which is information that can identify the bonus symbol that is won by being superimposed on the “bonus” character image. (For example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 5065829 JP 2018-000463 A

In the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, not only that the bonus has been won, but also the type of the bonus that has been won, in the effect at the time of winning the bonus, Thus, when the bonus symbols are aligned, the bonus symbol image that is won is displayed superimposed on a part of the character image indicating that the bonus has been won, while only the character image is displayed when the bonus symbols are not aligned. There is room for improvement in notifying that the bonus has been won and notifying the type of bonus that has been won simply by displaying.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that can make it difficult to impair the suggestion of shifting to an advantageous state.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, a slot machine according to the present invention includes:
A variable display section (for example, reel 2) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each of which can be identified
L, 2C, 2R)
After the variable display section is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display section, and a winning can be generated according to a display result combination that is a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display sections. In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1)
Specific display result combinations (for example, red 7 matched (“red 7 red 7 red 7”), red 7 red 7 white 7 ”, white 7 matched (“ white 7 white 7 white 7 ”) Among a plurality of types of display result combinations including a symbol combination) and a predetermined display result combination (for example, a symbol combination of a bell winning (“Berberbell”, etc.) and a symbol combination of a replay winning (“Replay Replay Bell”, etc.)). A pre-determining means (for example, an internal lottery process executed by the main CPU 41a) for determining a display result combination that allows derivation;
Transition determining means (for example, a process for determining a bonus winning in an internal lottery process executed by the main CPU 41a, which is executed by the main CPU 41a, which determines that the player is to shift to an advantageous state (for example, bonus state, AT, CZ) advantageous to the player. Process for determining control to the AT to be controlled, process for determining control to CZ executed by the main CPU 41a),
Transition means for shifting to the advantageous state when the specific display result combination is derived (for example, processing for controlling the bonus state after the bonus winning executed by the main CPU 41a);
Transition suggestion display means (for example, the sub CPU 91a is capable of displaying a transition suggestion image (for example, a character image of “BONUS confirmation”) in a period from when notification of transition to the advantageous state is made until transition to the advantageous state is performed. A process of displaying a character image of “BONUS confirmed” in a bonus confirmation effect, a combination effect, and a small role suggestion effect),
The specific suggestion image when the derivation of the specific display result combination is allowed when the transition suggestion image is displayed (for example, when the bonus is won alone, or when the bonus win is carried over, it is lost) (For example, “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7” design image, “Red 7 Red 7 White 7”
(A bonus symbol combination image such as a symbol image of “white 7 white 7 white 7”) (for example, a combination effect is executed when the sub CPU 91a wins a bonus alone)
When derivation of the predetermined display result combination is allowed while displaying the transition suggestion image (for example, when winning a bell or replay while carrying a bonus winning)
A predetermined suggestion image (for example, a winning small role symbol image such as a bell symbol image) is displayed (for example, a processing for executing a small role suggesting effect when the sub CPU 91a wins a bell or replay when the bonus winning is carried over) Run)
The visibility of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is displayed is lower than the visibility of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is not displayed (for example, “BONUS confirmation in combination effect” ”),
The visibility of the transition suggestion image when displaying the predetermined suggestion image is higher than the visibility of the transition suggestion image when displaying the specific suggestion image (for example, “ The visibility of the text image of “BONUS confirmation” is not lowered).

According to such a configuration, the visibility of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is displayed is more specific than the slot machine that is not lower than the visibility of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is not displayed. Since the display of the suggestion image is conspicuous for the player, it becomes easy to suggest that the derivation of the specific display result combination is permitted, and the specific display is made for the player who recognizes that the transition to the advantageous state is made by the transition suggestion display It becomes easier to focus on deriving the result combination, and the fun of the game is improved. Moreover, according to such a configuration, the visibility of the transition suggestion image when the predetermined suggestion image is displayed is not higher than the visibility of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is displayed. However, the display of the transition suggestion image becomes conspicuous for the player, and the suggestion that the transition to the advantageous state is difficult to be impaired.

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above,
If the derivation of the specific display result combination is allowed when the transition suggestion image is displayed, the specific suggestion image may be displayed superimposed on the displayed transition suggestion image (for example, a combination In the production, a bonus symbol combination image such as “red 7 red 7 red 7” symbol image, “red 7 red 7 white 7” symbol image, “white 7 white 7 white 7” symbol image, etc. is “BONUS confirmed”.
May be superimposed on the character image.

According to such a configuration, the display of the specific suggestion image becomes more conspicuous for the player than the display of the transition suggestion image.

(3) In the slot machine of (2) above,
Display control means that can control the luminance of the displayed image is further provided (for example, the sub CPU 9
A process of adjusting and displaying the brightness of the character image of “BONUS determination” on the liquid crystal display 51 executed by 1a),
The display control means may lower the brightness of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is displayed than the brightness of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is not displayed (for example, The sub CPU 91a displays “BO” on the liquid crystal display 51 in the combination effect.
It may be displayed with the brightness of the character image “NUS confirmed” lowered.

According to such a configuration, the slot suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is displayed is not lower than the brightness of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is not displayed. The display of the specific suggestion image is easily noticeable to the player.

(4) In any one of the above slot machines (1) to (3),
The specific suggestion image is an image including all of the specific identification information constituting the specific display result combination (for example, in the combination effect, “red 7 red 7 red 7” design image, “red 7 red 7 white” 7 ”, a bonus symbol combination image such as“ white 7 white 7 white 7 ”, etc.)
The predetermined suggestion image may be an image that does not include all of the predetermined identification information constituting the predetermined display result combination (for example, a winning small role symbol image such as a bell symbol image is displayed in a small role suggestion effect) Alternatively, a frame image of a color corresponding to the winning combination won in the winning combination suggestion effect may be displayed).

According to such a configuration, the player can be more interested in the appearance of the specific suggestion image than the slot machine that is not an image including all the specific identification information constituting the specific display result combination. Interest is improved with respect to the display of. Further, according to such a configuration, not only the specific suggestion image is an image including all the specific identification information constituting the specific display result combination, but also the predetermined suggestion image is all the predetermined identification information constituting the predetermined display result combination. This makes it easier for the player to be interested in the appearance of the specific suggestion image than the slot machine that is an image including the image.

(5) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (4) above,
The display mode of the specific suggestion image may be different between when the specific suggestion image is displayed for the first time in the period and when the specific suggestion image is displayed after the second time (for example, the first combination effect and the second time The production mode may be different from the subsequent combination production).

According to such a configuration, when the specific suggestion image is displayed for the first time in the period for which the transition suggestion display is continued, and when the specific suggestion image is displayed for the second time or later, the slot in which the display mode of the specific suggestion image is the same The player is more interested in displaying the specific suggestion image than the machine, and the interest in displaying the specific suggestion image is improved.

(6) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (5) above,
Voice output control means (for example, a process in which the sub CPU 91a outputs a sound to the speaker 53) that performs voice output control when the transition suggestion image is displayed;
The voice output control means may perform different voice output control when the specific suggestion image is displayed and when the predetermined suggestion image is displayed (for example, the sub CPU 91a executes a combination effect). Different sounds may be output to the speaker 53 depending on when the small role suggesting effect is executed).

According to such a configuration, the player can distinguish between the display of the specific suggestion image and the display of the predetermined suggestion image by voice output control.

(7) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (6) above,
Special display means capable of displaying a special image (for example, a special character image) during the period (for example, a process in which the sub CPU 91a displays a special character image in a bonus finalizing effect, a combination effect, or a small role suggesting effect),
The visibility of the special image when the specific suggestion image is displayed may be higher than the visibility of the transition suggestion image when the specific suggestion image is displayed (for example, special in combination effect) The visibility of the character image does not have to be lower than the visibility of the special character image in the small role suggesting effect. For example, the visibility of the special character image in the combination effect is more than the visibility of the character image “BONUS confirmed”. It does not have to be reduced).

According to such a configuration, the visibility of the special image when displaying the specific suggestion image is not higher than the visibility of the transition suggestion image when displaying the specific suggestion image. However, the display of the special image becomes conspicuous for the player, and it is difficult to impair the visual interest in the entire transition suggestion display.

The form for implementing a slot machine as a gaming machine concerning the present invention is explained below based on an example.

[Configuration of slot machine]
FIG. 1A is a front view of the slot machine 1 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a diagram showing an example of the main internal configuration of the slot machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 that displays an image and a speaker 53 that outputs sound. A see-through window 3 is formed below the liquid crystal display 51. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R arranged in parallel in the slot machine 1 through the see-through window 3. On each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, symbols which are a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified are arranged in a predetermined order. Below the fluoroscopic window 3, a start switch 7 that is operated when starting a game (game), and stop switches 8L, 8C, which are operated to stop the rotation of the respective reels and derive a display result. 8R
And are provided.

As shown in FIG. 1B, a main control unit 41 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands according to the progress of the game is provided in the slot machine 1. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects operations on the start switch 7 and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and performs control related to the progress of the game according to the detected operations.

Inside the slot machine 1, there is provided a sub-control unit 91 that controls the production according to a command from the main control unit 41. The sub-control unit 91 includes a sub-CPU 91a that performs various controls related to effects, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to effects. The sub control unit 91 controls the display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and the output of sound from the speaker 53 based on the command from the main control unit 41. The image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the speaker 53
The effect data used for the sound output is stored in the RAM 91c.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player sets a prescribed number of bets by inserting medals into a medal insertion unit (not shown) or operating a BET switch (not shown). As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, and the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid so that the game can be started. The winning line is a line for determining whether or not the symbol combination on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3 matches the winning symbol combination.

If the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2
R rotates. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main control unit 41. The internal lottery
This is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result) that allows derivation. The fact that the derivation of the symbol combination is permitted by the internal lottery is also said to have won the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped. As a result, the symbol combination is derived and displayed on the transparent window 3. In addition,
Of the operations for the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R for stopping the rotation of the reels, the operation for stopping the rotation of the first reel is the first stop operation, and the operation for stopping the rotation of the second reel. The second stop operation and the operation for stopping the rotation of the third reel are also referred to as a third stop operation. When the symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped on the winning line LN, a winning corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

Special combinations (bonus), small combination, and replay combination are provided as combinations that can be awarded. The bonus is a role in which the gaming state is controlled to a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small role is higher than the non-bonus state by winning. A small role is a role to which a medal is awarded by winning a prize. The re-playing combination (replay) is a combination that allows the next game to be started without consuming a medal owned by the player by winning. As a bonus state, a big bonus (BB) and a regular bonus (RB) are provided. The big bonus is a bonus more advantageous than the regular bonus. For example, the number of medals to be paid out in the bonus that is the end condition of the big bonus is larger than the number of medals to be paid out in the bonus that is the end condition of the regular bonus. For example, the big bonus is controlled when the symbol combination of red 7, red 7 and red 7 (red 7 assortment) is stopped on the winning line LN, and the regular bonus is controlled by red 7, red 7, Controlled when the white 7 symbol combination stops.

The winning flag set when the bonus is won is carried over across the game until the winning bonus is won. In this embodiment, when a bonus winning is carried over from before the previous game, a small role or a re-playing role is won, or when a bonus is won simultaneously with a small role or a re-playing role, The reel control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the re-gamer is preferentially drawn onto the winning line LN. In other words, the small combination and the re-playing combination can be won with a higher priority than the bonus. Note that reel control may be performed so that a bonus can be preferentially won over a small combination or a re-playing combination.

[Outline of various productions]
First, various effects executed by the sub-control unit 91 in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. The sub-control unit 91 grasps the state of the game, such as a bonus win or a bonus win, based on a command from the main control unit 41, and executes various effects using the effect data stored in the RAM 91c.

(Mission production)
In the present embodiment, in a game in which a simultaneous winning combination (for example, a rare combination such as cherry or watermelon) that can be won simultaneously with a bonus is won, a mission effect that makes the player expect a bonus winning is executed. Mission production includes battle mission production and castle search mission production. Which mission effect is executed is determined by lottery when the simultaneous winning combination is won. The mission effect to be executed may be determined in advance according to the type of the simultaneous winning combination. In the battle mission effect, battle mission effect data is used as effect data. In the castle search mission effect, castle search mission effect data is used as effect data.

In the battle mission effect, an effect image in which a teammate character and an enemy character develop a battle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When the teammate character eventually wins against the enemy character, a character image of “WIN” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to indicate to the player that the bonus has been won. On the other hand, when the teammate character is eventually defeated by the enemy character, a character image “LOSE” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to indicate to the player that the bonus has not been won. In addition, about the concrete production aspect of battle mission production,
This will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the castle search mission effect, an effect image in which the character searches for a castle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When the character finally finds the castle, a character image of “WIN” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to indicate to the player that the bonus has been won. On the other hand, if the character eventually gets lost in the forest without finding a castle, the character image “LOSE” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to indicate to the player that the bonus was not won. In addition, the specific production | generation aspect of a castle search mission production is later mentioned, referring FIG.

(Bonus confirmed production)
In the present embodiment, when the player is informed that a bonus has been won by a mission effect, a bonus confirmation effect is executed in the next game. Regardless of whether the battle mission effect or the castle search mission effect is passed, the bonus confirmed effect data is used as effect data in the bonus confirmed effect. That is, a common bonus confirmation effect is executed regardless of whether the battle mission effect or the castle search mission effect is passed.

Note that while the bonus finalized effect is being executed, an image corresponding to the mission effect that has passed through is displayed on the back side of the image corresponding to the bonus finalized effect. That is, when the battle mission effect is passed, an image of the battle mission effect is displayed on the back side based on the battle mission effect data, and an image of the bonus confirmation effect is displayed on the front side based on the bonus confirmed effect data. . In addition, when the castle search mission effect is passed, an image of the castle search mission effect is displayed on the back side based on the castle search mission effect data, and a bonus confirmation effect image is displayed on the front side based on the bonus determination effect data. Is displayed. Regardless of which image of battle mission effect data and castle search mission effect data is displayed on the back side, a common bonus confirmation effect image is displayed on the front side based on the common bonus confirmation effect data.

In the bonus confirmation effect, the character image of “BONUS determination” is enlarged and displayed in a reduced size, and then stops at a fixed position that does not hinder the visibility of the mission effect image being executed on the back side. Then, an effect for emphasizing the character image of “BONUS determination” is generated, and the sound of “bonus determination” is output from the speaker 53.
This indicates to the player that the bonus has been won. In addition, the concrete effect aspect of the bonus confirmation effect at the time of going through a battle mission effect is mentioned later, referring FIG. Further, a specific effect mode of the bonus confirmation effect when the castle search mission effect is passed will be described later with reference to FIG.

(Director suggestion)
In the present embodiment, when a small combination is won, a small combination suggestion effect that suggests the type of the selected small combination may be executed. As mentioned above, when a bonus winning is carried over from before the previous game and a small role (including replaying role) is won, or when a bonus is won at the same time as a small role, it corresponds to the winning small role Since the symbol combination is preferentially drawn on the winning line LN and the winning small combination wins preferentially over the bonus, in this case, a small role suggesting effect that suggests the type of the winning small combination is executed. .

In addition, while the small role suggestion effect is being executed in the game after the bonus finalization effect is executed, an image corresponding to the mission effect that has passed through is displayed on the back side of the image corresponding to the small role suggestion effect. Is displayed. That is, when the battle mission effect is passed, an image of the battle mission effect is displayed on the back side based on the battle mission effect data, and an image of the small role suggestion effect is displayed on the front side based on the small role suggestion effect data. The In addition, when the castle search mission effect is passed, an image of the castle search mission effect is displayed on the back side based on the castle search mission effect data, and the small role suggestion effect is displayed on the front side based on the small role suggestion effect data. An image is displayed. Regardless of which image of battle mission effect data and castle search mission effect data is displayed on the back side, a common small role suggestion image is displayed on the front side based on the common small role suggestion effect data .

For example, in the small role suggestion effect when winning the bell, a bell symbol image showing a symbol corresponding to the bell is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The bell symbol image moves upward so as to look from the lower side of the screen, and finally stops at a fixed position that does not hinder the visibility of the mission effect image being executed on the back side as much as possible. In addition, the specific production | presentation aspect of the small role suggestion effect at the time of passing through a battle mission effect is later mentioned, referring FIG. Further, a specific effect mode of the small role suggestion effect when going through the castle search mission effect will be described later with reference to FIG.

(Combination production)
In the present embodiment, when a bonus winning is carried over, a combination effect is executed in a game in which the carried bonus can be won. Regardless of whether the battle mission effect or the castle search mission effect is passed, the combination effect data is used as the effect data in the combination effect. That is, a common combination effect is executed regardless of whether the battle mission effect or the castle search mission effect is passed.

Note that while the combination effect is being executed, an image corresponding to the transmitted mission effect is displayed on the back side of the image corresponding to the combination effect. That is, when the battle mission effect is passed, an image of the battle mission effect is displayed on the back side based on the battle mission effect data, and an image of the combination effect is displayed on the front side based on the combination effect data. When a castle search mission effect is passed, an image of the castle search mission effect is displayed on the back side based on the castle search mission effect data, and a combination effect image is displayed on the front side based on the combination effect data. The Regardless of which image of battle mission effect data and castle search mission effect data is displayed on the back side, a common combination effect image is displayed on the front side based on the common combination effect data.

In the combination effect, an image (for example, a symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7”) indicating a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus that can be won (for example, a symbol combination of red 7 in the case of a big bonus). It is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The design image of “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7”
After the enlarged display, the image is gradually reduced and then stopped at a fixed position where the visibility of the mission effect image being executed on the back side is not hindered as much as possible. In addition, the concrete effect aspect of the combination effect in the case of going through the battle mission effect will be described later with reference to FIG. Further, a specific effect mode of the combination effect when the castle search mission effect is passed will be described later with reference to FIG.

(Bonus winning effect)
In the present embodiment, when a bonus winning is generated, a bonus winning effect suggesting the occurrence of the bonus winning is executed. Regardless of whether the battle mission effect or the castle search mission effect is passed, in the bonus prize effect, the common bonus prize effect data is used as effect data. That is, a common bonus winning effect is executed regardless of whether the battle mission effect or the castle search mission effect is passed.

For example, in the bonus winning effect when winning a big bonus, “BIG B
After the character image “ONUS” is enlarged and displayed, the character image is gradually reduced and then stops at a fixed position. Then, an effect for enhancing the character image of “BIG BONUS” occurs, and the sound of “big bonus” is output from the speaker 53. This suggests a big bonus prize to the player. In addition, the specific effect | action aspect of the bonus prize effect at the time of going through a battle mission effect is later mentioned, referring FIG. Further, a specific effect mode of the bonus winning effect when the castle search mission effect is passed will be described later with reference to FIG.

[Examples of various effects when using battle mission effects]
With reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, an example of various effects when the battle mission effect is used will be specifically described.

(An example of battle mission production)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a battle mission effect. As shown in (a1), in the internal lottery performed when the start switch 7 is operated, it is assumed that a rare combination that can be won simultaneously with a bonus is won. At this time, for example, whether or not to execute the mission effect by lottery and the type of mission effect in the case of executing the mission effect are determined. In this example, execution of the battle mission effect is determined.

As shown in (a2), after the start switch 7 is operated, the battle mission effect starts. The liquid crystal display 51 has a Colosseum ally character (character on the left side of the screen)
And an enemy character (the character on the right side of the screen) are confronted, and on the front side, a character image of “battle mission” that suggests the type of mission effect and an enemy character that suggests a subtitle of the battle mission effect A character image of “Defeat A!” Is displayed. When there are multiple types of battle mission effects, for example, “Defeat enemy character B!
The subtitle may change depending on the type, such as “Defeat the boss!”.

As shown in (a3), when the predetermined time has elapsed, the character image of “battle mission” and the character image of “Defeat enemy character A!” Disappear, and the Colosseum displayed on the back side of the character and enemy The image facing the character appears more clearly.

As shown in (a4), when the first stop operation is performed on the stop switch, an image in which a friend character and an enemy character develop a battle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this example, an image in which the teammate character is dominant is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition,
Since the cherry that is a rare role is stopped at the lower stage of the stopped left reel, the player can recognize that the cherry is won as a rare role that can be won simultaneously with the bonus.

As shown in (a5), when the second stop operation is performed on the stop switch, an image in which a friend character and an enemy character battle each other is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this example, an image in which the teammate character is inferior is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As shown in (a6), when the third stop operation is performed on the stop switch, the scene changes to a night scene, and an image in which the ally character and the enemy character face each other again is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the Colosseum. . In the upper left of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, a character image “This is the end!” Is displayed, which suggests that the battle is settled.

Thereafter, as shown in (a7), an image in which the teammate character and the enemy character battle again is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the rare combination is not won simultaneously with the bonus, as shown in (a8), an image in which the teammate character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as an image suggesting that the bonus has not been won. .

Thereafter, as shown in (a9), the teammate character is tilted and does not move, but an image in which the enemy character is moving from the state shown in (a8) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in (a10), the action of the enemy character is stopped, and the character image “LOSE” is displayed on the upper left of the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the entire screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes darker than the states (a2) to (a9), and a so-called smoke is applied to the entire screen. Even if smoke is being applied, the teammate character and the enemy character are still visible. As shown in (a11), the still image display state as shown in (a10) is maintained for a predetermined time.

In the still image display state as shown in (a10) and (a11), the sound “LOSE” is output from the speaker 53 together with the sound effect “Gurn” as a sound suggesting that the bonus has not been won.

Thus, when the bonus is not won, as shown in (a8) to (a11), an image in which the ally character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the entire screen is smoked. Further, a sound indicating that the bonus has not been won is output from the speaker 53. A series of battle mission effect sound data and image data in the case where such a bonus is not won is stored in the RAM 91c as battle mission effect data. And a battle mission effect is performed based on battle mission effect data.

On the other hand, when the rare combination is won simultaneously with the bonus, as shown in (a12), an image in which the teammate character wins the enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as an image suggesting that the bonus has been won.

Thereafter, as shown in (a13), the enemy character does not move while falling down, but an image in which the teammate character is moving from the state shown in (a12) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in (a14), the character image “WIN” is displayed on the upper left of the liquid crystal display 51 while the ally character is moving. The screen of the liquid crystal display 51 cannot be smoked as shown by (a10). As shown in (a15), the animation display state in which the ally character moves is maintained for a predetermined time.

In the screen states as shown in (a14) and (a15), the sound of “WIN” is output from the speaker 53 together with the sound effect of “Pyrrolillin” as a sound suggesting that the bonus has been won. Thereafter, the bonus winning is carried over, and the process proceeds to the next game described later in (a16).

In this way, when the bonus is won, as shown in (a12) to (a15), an image in which the teammate character wins the enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a sound suggesting that the bonus has been won is further displayed. Output from the speaker 53. The sound data and image data of a series of battle mission effects when such a bonus is won are stored in the RAM 91c as battle mission effect data. And a battle mission effect is performed based on battle mission effect data.

In order to advance the game while the effects shown in (a8) to (a11) when the bonus is not won or the effects shown in (a12) to (a15) when the bonus is won are being executed. (For example, an operation for starting the next game or an operation for setting a bet amount). For this reason, when it transfers to the next game before a series of battle mission effects are complete | finished, it is also possible to end a battle mission effect in the middle (what is called cancellation).

(An example of a bonus confirmation effect via a battle mission effect)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a bonus confirmation effect via a battle mission effect. It is assumed that the start switch 7 is operated as shown in (a16) after it is suggested that the bonus is won in (a15) described above. In the internal lottery performed at this time, it is assumed that the replay is won together with the carry-over bonus.

As shown in (a17), after the start switch 7 is operated, the bonus confirmation effect starts. The liquid crystal display 51 displays on the back side an image in which the teammate character in the battle mission effect has won the enemy character, but the character image “BONUS confirmed” is enlarged on the front side. At this time, some of the characters “BONUS confirmed” (“B” and “S”) are outside the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 and are not visible.
Further, the remaining characters (“O”, “N”, “U”, “definite”) among the characters “BONUS confirmed”
, “Fixed”) does not fit in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

As shown in (a18), the character image “BONUS confirmed” is then gradually reduced and displayed toward the center of the screen. As a result, some characters (“B” and “S”) outside the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 can be barely recognized within the display area.
The remaining characters (“O”, “N”, “U”, “certain”, “fixed”) among the characters “US confirmed” fit within the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. However, some characters (“B” and “S”) that are outside the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 have not yet been accommodated in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 and are thus difficult to recognize.

As shown in (a19), the character image “BONUS confirmed” is further reduced and displayed gradually toward the center of the screen. This makes it easier to recognize the characters “BONUS confirmed”.

As shown in (a20), the character image “BONUS confirmed” is further reduced and displayed gradually toward the center of the screen. As a result, the characters “BONUS confirmed” completely fit in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

As shown in (a21), the character image “BONUS confirmed” is further reduced and displayed gradually toward the center of the screen, and then temporarily stops at the center of the screen, which is a fixed position.

As shown in (a17) to (a21), it is suggested that a bonus is won in a series of screen states in which the “BONUS confirmed” character image transitions from an enlarged display state in which recognition is difficult to a reduced display state in which recognition is easy. A sound effect “Pappara” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound.

After that, as shown in (a22), the character image “BONUS confirmed” starts moving toward the upper left of the screen while being reduced again.

Then, as shown in (a23), the character image “BONUS confirmed” continues to move toward the upper left of the screen while being further reduced in size.

As shown in (a24), the “BONUS confirmed” character image is further reduced and displayed, and stops at a fixed position in the upper left of the screen. The fixed position at the upper left of the screen is a position that does not hinder the visibility of the image related to the battle mission displayed on the back side. In this embodiment, “BONU
The character image of “S confirmed” is not superimposed on various images (friend characters, enemy characters, colosseum, moon, stars) of battle mission effects.

As shown in (a22) to (a24), in a series of screen states that stop at a fixed position in the upper left of the screen while the character image of “BONUS confirmed” is reduced and displayed, the character image of “BONUS confirmed” is adjusted to the movement. A sound effect “Schein” is output from the speaker 53.

As shown in (a25), when the “BONUS confirmed” character image stops at a fixed position in the upper left of the screen, an effect for enhancing the “BONUS confirmed” character image occurs. The effect is an effect of emphasizing the “BONUS confirmed” character image by applying processing to the “BONUS confirmed” character image or adding another image such as a decorative image.

For example, as an example in which no effect has occurred, in the screen state shown in (a24) or (a26) described later, as shown in (* 1), the character image of “BONUS confirmed” is displayed in gradation. Not too much. On the other hand, as an example in which an effect occurs, in the screen state shown in (a25) and (a27) described later, as shown in (* 2),
A large and small diamond-shaped decorative image is displayed superimposed on the character image “BONUS confirmed”. In this way, when an effect occurs in the character image of “BONUS confirmed”, “BONUS confirmed”
Since the character image is decorated with a diamond-shaped decoration image, the player can effectively focus on the character image of “BONUS determination”. Note that the effect on the character image of “BONUS determination” is not limited to the decoration of the diamond-shaped decorative image, but, for example, a diamond-shaped decorative image or “B
Any processing may be performed as long as the character image of “BONUS confirmation” is emphasized, such as the “ONUS confirmation” character itself shines.

Further, as shown in (a25), when an effect for emphasizing the “BONUS confirmed” character image is generated, a sound effect “Killan” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound corresponding to the effect, and a bonus is provided. The sound of “bonus confirmation” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound indicating that the player has won.

As shown in (a26), after that, the effect once disappears again and no sound corresponding to the effect is output.

Then, as shown in (a27), the effect is generated again, and a sound effect “Killan” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound corresponding to the effect.

Thereafter, in this game, a state where the effect as shown in (a26) is not generated and a state where the effect as shown in (a27) is generated are repeated.

As shown in (a28), when the stop switch is performed up to the third stop operation, in this example, the replay wins and the bonus winning is missed, and one game ends.

As described above, in the bonus confirmation effect, the character image of “BONUS confirmation” is displayed as follows. In other words, during the period shown in (a17) to (a21), “BON consisting of a single image is displayed with an image related to the battle mission effect displayed on the back side.
An animation is displayed in which the character image of “US confirmed” is gradually reduced from the enlarged state toward the center of the screen. As a result, the position of the “BONUS confirmed” character image moves toward the center of the screen. Then, as shown in (a21), the reduced “BONUS confirmation” is displayed.
Is temporarily stopped at the center of the screen. Thereafter, during the period shown in (a22) to (a24), the character image of “BONUS confirmed” consisting of one image continues to shrink again.
This time, an animation that gradually reduces from the enlarged state toward the upper left of the screen is displayed. As a result, the position of the character image “BONUS confirmed” moves toward the upper left of the screen. Then, as shown in (a24), the character image of “BONUS determination” further reduced and displayed stops at the upper left position of the screen. After the animation of the “BONUS confirmed” character image is completed and the “BONUS confirmed” character image stops, as shown in (a25), the “BONUS confirmed” character image does not move, A sound “bonus confirmed” is output from the speaker 53 and an effect is generated. (A26) and (a2
As shown in 7), the state in which the character image “BONUS confirmed” is stopped and no effect is generated and the state in which the effect is generated are repeated.

Such a series of sound data and image data of the bonus confirmed effect is stored in the RAM 91c as bonus confirmed effect data, and is stored in the RAM 91c as effect data different from the battle mission effect data. Then, on the front side where the battle mission effect is executed based on the battle mission effect data, the bonus fixed effect is executed based on the bonus determined effect data. For this reason, even during execution of the bonus confirmation effect, an image related to the battle mission effect is displayed on the back side thereof, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(An example of combination production and small role suggestion production via battle mission production)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a combination effect and a small role suggestion effect via a battle mission effect. After suggesting that the bonus was won in (a28), (a2
Assume that the start switch 7 is operated as shown in 9).

First, in the internal lottery, a small role suggestion effect that is executed when a small role (in this example, a bell) is won with a bonus carried over will be described. As shown in (a30), with the start operation as an opportunity, the liquid crystal display 51 displays on the back side an image in which the teammate character in the battle mission effect wins the enemy character. Below, the bell symbol image is displayed so as to look into it from the bottom of the screen.

As shown in (a31), at the lower right of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, the bell symbol image moves further upward, and a part of the bell symbol image becomes visible.

As shown in (a32), the bell symbol image moves further upward in the lower right of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the bell symbol image is completely within the display area.

As shown in (a30) to (a32), in a series of screen states in which the bell symbol image moves upward, as a sound suggesting that the bell has been won, the sound of "Bell" is the speaker 5
3 is output.

As shown in (a33), when the bell symbol image is completely within the display area, a sound effect “buzz” is output from the speaker 53.

As shown in (a34), when the stop switch is performed up to the third stop operation, the bell symbol image disappears, and in this example, the bell wins and one game ends.

As shown in (a30) to (a33), in a series of screen states in which the bell symbol image moves upward, the character image of “BONUS determination” is performed until the third stop operation, and the bell symbol image is displayed. The state of disappearing or the effect of bonus confirmation effect does not occur ((a24),
(See (a26) and (a28)). That is, (a30) to (a
The character image of “BONUS confirmation” shown in FIG. 33) indicates that the amount of light entering the player's eyes is (a
The character image of “BONUS determination” shown in (34) and the character image of “BONUS determination” shown in (a24), (a26), and (a28) are displayed to be the same.

The sound data and image data of such a series of small role suggestion effects are stored in the RAM 91c as small role suggestion effect data, and are stored in the RAM 91c as effect data different from the battle mission effect data. Then, on the front side where the battle mission effect is executed based on the battle mission effect data, the small role suggestion effect is executed based on the small role suggestion effect data. For this reason, even during execution of the small role suggestion effect, an image related to the battle mission effect is displayed on the back side thereof, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

Next, a description will be given of a combination effect that is executed when a bonus that has been carried over alone is won due to a loss in the internal lottery.

As shown in (a35), the combination effect starts with the start operation as a trigger. The liquid crystal display 51 displays on the back side the image that the teammate character in the battle mission effect has won the enemy character. On the front side, the image indicating the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus that can be won is displayed on the liquid crystal display. 51 is enlarged and displayed. In this example, the symbol image “red 7 red 7 red 7” showing the red 7 alignment corresponding to the big bonus is enlarged and displayed. At this time, a part of the symbols “red 7 red 7 red 7” (
The left and right “red 7”) are not within the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. For this reason, at this time, it is difficult for the player to recognize the symbol combination that is urged to be derived among the big bonus and the regular bonus. At this time, the symbol image of “red 7” is displayed in duplicate on the character image of “confirmed” which is a part of the character image of “BONUS confirmed”, and the character image of “confirmed” is visually recognized. It is impossible.

Thereafter, as shown in (a36), the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is gradually reduced and displayed. This makes it easier to recognize the “red 7 red 7 red 7” symbol.

Thereafter, as shown in (a37), the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is gradually reduced and displayed. As a result, “Red 7” on both sides of the “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7” symbol
The liquid crystal display 51 is completely within the display area. Thereby, the player can clearly recognize that the derivation of the big bonus symbol combination is prompted.

As shown in (a35) to (a37), in a series of screen states in which the symbol images of “red 7 red 7 red 7” are displayed in a reduced scale, as a sound suggesting that a bonus can be won, “Aim!
Is output from the speaker 53.

As shown in (a38), when the symbol image of “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7” is completely within the display area, “Truon” is a sound that prompts the derivation of the red 7 match corresponding to the bonus that can be won. Is output from the speaker 53.

As shown in (a39), when the third stop operation is performed, the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” disappears, and in this example, a big bonus is won and one game is finished.

As shown in (a35) to (a38), in the series of screen states in which the symbol images of “red 7 red 7 red 7” are displayed in a reduced size, the character image “BONUS confirmed” is displayed until the third stop operation. So that the brightness is lower than the state in which the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” disappears or the effect of the bonus confirmation effect does not occur (see (a24), (a26), (a28)). Is displayed. That is, the “BONUS confirmed” character images shown in (a35) to (a38)
The amount of light that enters the player's eyes is the character image of “BONUS confirmation” shown in (a39),
It is displayed so as to be smaller than the “BONUS confirmed” character image shown in (a24), (a26), and (a28).
In FIG. 4, the character images of “BONUS confirmation” shown in (a35) to (a38) are (a
In order to explain that the brightness is lower than the character image of “BONUS determination” shown in FIG. 39) and is not noticeable to the player, the character image of “BONUS determination” shown in (a35) to (a38) is (a39) Although the character image of “BONUS confirmation” shown in FIG. 6 is displayed lighter, the “BONUS confirmation” character image shown in (a35) to (a38) is actually “BONUS confirmation” shown in (a39). It is displayed so that it looks darker overall than a character image or the like.

As described above, in the combination effect, the “red 7 red 7 red 7” symbol image is displayed as follows. That is, in the period shown in (a35) to (a37), “Red 7” consisting of one image is displayed in a state where an image related to the battle mission effect is displayed on the back side.
An animation is displayed in which the symbol image of “Red 7 Red 7” is gradually reduced from the enlarged state toward the center of the screen. As a result, the position of the “red 7 red 7 red 7” symbol image moves toward the center of the screen. Then, as shown in (a37), the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” displayed in a reduced size is stopped at the center of the screen. During the animation of the symbol image “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7”, the sound of “Aim!” Is output from the speaker 53, and the animation is completed.
After the symbol image of “Red 7 Red 7” is stopped, the sound “Truo” is output from the speaker 53 without moving the position of the symbol image of “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7” as shown in (a38). The
In the periods shown in (a35) to (a38), the brightness of the character image “BONUS confirmed” is displayed lower than in the other periods.

Such a series of combination effect sound data and image data is stored in the RAM 91c as combination effect data, and is stored in the RAM 91c as effect data different from the battle mission effect data. Then, on the front side where the battle mission effect is executed based on the battle mission effect data, the combination effect is executed based on the combination effect data. For this reason, even during the execution of the combination effect, an image related to the battle mission effect is displayed on the back side thereof, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

The sub CPU 91a displays the same image as the “BONUS confirmed” character image shown in (a39) over the period shown in (a35) to (a38) in a state where the brightness is lowered.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the character image of “BONUS confirmed” shown in (a35) to (a38) whose luminance is lower than the character image of “BONUS confirmed” shown in (a39). Image data is stored in advance in the RAM 91c, and the sub CPU 91a has a low luminance (a35
) To (a38) may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as “BONUS confirmed” character images.

The combination effect via the battle mission effect described above is an example when the big bonus is won, but even if the regular bonus is won, the position of the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 white 7” In addition, the sound effect “Truon” is the same as the sound that prompts the derivation of the red 7 color. In this way, since the symbol combinations that prompt derivation are different, the position and size of the other images and the sound effect that prompts the derivation of the seven sets are common, so the player recognizes the symbol combination that should be aimed at. easy.

(An example of bonus prize production via battle mission production)
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a bonus winning effect via a battle mission effect. After winning the bonus at (a39) described above, the bonus winning effect is started as shown at (a40). On the liquid crystal display 51, a character image of “BIG BONUS” suggesting a bonus prize is displayed in an enlarged manner. At this time, some of the characters “BIG BONUS” (“B” and “S”) are outside the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 and are not visible.
Further, the remaining characters (“B”, “I”, “G”, “
O ”,“ N ”,“ U ”) are not within the display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

Thereafter, as shown in (a41), the character image “BIG BONUS” is gradually reduced and displayed. As a result, some characters (“B” and “S” that were outside the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 are displayed.
”) Is also visible in the display area, and the remaining characters (“ B ”,“ I ”,“ G ”,“ O ”,“ N ”,“ U ”) of the characters“ BIG BONUS ”are also displayed. ) Within the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. However, some characters (“B” and “S”) outside the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 do not fit in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

Thereafter, as shown in (a42), the character image “BIG BONUS” is gradually reduced and displayed. Thereby, the characters “BIG BONUS” completely fit in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

Thereafter, as shown in (a43), the character image “BIG BONUS” is gradually reduced and displayed, and temporarily stops at the center of the screen, which is the fixed position.

As shown in (a40) to (a43), in a series of screen states in which the character image “BIG BONUS” is changed from an enlarged display state in which recognition is difficult to a reduced display state in which recognition is easy,
A sound effect “Papparapa” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound suggesting a bonus winning.

As shown in (a44), when the character image “BIG BONUS” stops at a fixed position in the center of the screen, an effect for enhancing the character image “BIG BONUS” occurs.
The effect is an effect of emphasizing the character image of “BIG BONUS” by processing the character image of “BIG BONUS” or adding another image such as a decoration image.

For example, as an example in which no effect occurs, in the screen state shown in (a43) or (a45) described later, the character image “BIG BONUS” is displayed in gradation as shown in (* 3). Not too much. On the other hand, as an example in which the effect is generated, in the screen state shown in (a44) or (a46) described later, as shown in (* 4), a large and small diamond-shaped decorative image is “BIG BONUS”. "Is superimposed on the character image. Thus, when an effect occurs on the character image “BIG BONUS”, “BI
Since the character image of “G BONUS” is decorated with a diamond-shaped decoration image, the player can effectively focus on the character image of “BIG BONUS”. In addition, “BIG BON
The effect on the character image of “US” is not limited to the decoration of a diamond-shaped decorative image.
The diamond-shaped decorative image and the letters “BIG BONUS” shine, etc. “BIG BON
Any process may be performed as long as it emphasizes the character image of “US”.

Further, as shown in (a44), when an effect for emphasizing the character image of “BIG BONUS” occurs, the character image is displayed, and a sound effect “Killan Killan” is generated as a sound corresponding to the effect. In addition to being output from the speaker 53, a sound of “big bonus” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound suggesting a bonus winning.

As shown in (a45), after that, the effect once disappears and the sound corresponding to the effect is not output.

Then, as shown in (a46), when the effect is generated again, a sound effect “Killan Killan” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound corresponding to the effect.

Thereafter, in this game, the state where the effect as shown in (a45) is not generated and the state where the effect as shown in (a46) is generated are repeated.

As described above, in the bonus winning effect, the character image “BIG BONUS” is displayed as follows. That is, in the period shown in (a40) to (a43),
An animation is displayed in which a character image of “BIG BONUS” composed of one image gradually decreases from an enlarged state toward the center of the screen. As a result, “BIG BON
The character image of “US” moves toward the center of the screen. Then, as shown in (a43), the reduced-sized character image “BIG BONUS” stops at the center of the screen. "B
After the animation of the character image of “IG BONUS” is completed and the character image of “BIG BONUS” is stopped, as shown in (a44), the character image of “BIG BONUS” does not move, A sound “big bonus” is output from the speaker 53 and an effect is generated. Thereafter, as shown in (a45) and (a46), the state where the character image “BIG BONUS” is stopped and no effect is generated and the state where the effect is generated are repeated.

Such a series of bonus winning effect sound data and image data is stored in the RAM 91c as bonus winning effect data, and is stored in the RAM 91c as effect data different from the battle mission effect data. Then, a bonus winning effect is executed based on the bonus winning effect data.

Here, the character image of “BIG BONUS” shown in (a44) and (a46) is more than the character image of “BONUS confirmed” shown in (a25) and (a27) described above in FIG.
The size is large and the proportion of the liquid crystal display 51 in the display area is large. In other words, “B
The character image “IG BONUS” is displayed more emphasized than the character image “BONUS confirmed”.

Furthermore, the sound when the effect is generated on the character image of “BIG BONUS” (“Killan Killan”) is the sound when the effect is generated on the character image of “BONUS confirmed” (
There are more “Kilaan” sounds than “Kiraan”), and the sound output time is longer. In addition, the sound when the effect is generated on the character image “BIG BONUS” (“Kirang Killan”) is the sound when the effect is generated on the character image “BONUS confirmed” (“
Volume is higher than "Kiraan"). In other words, the sound when the effect occurs on the character image of “BIG BONUS” (“Kirang Killan”) is “BONUS confirmed”
The sound is output with more emphasis than the sound (“Killan”) when the effect occurs on the character image.

Further, the character image of “BIG BONUS” has a larger number of diamond-shaped decorative images when the effect occurs than the character image of “BONUS confirmed”. In other words, “B
The effect for the character image “IG BONUS” is displayed in a more emphasized manner than the effect for the character image “BONUS determined”.

Note that while the bonus winning effects shown in (a40) to (a46) are being executed, an operation for advancing the game (for example, a start operation for the next game or a setting operation for the number of bets) is possible. For this reason, when the next game is entered before the series of bonus winning effects is completed, the bonus winning effects can be ended (so-called cancellation) in the middle.

[Examples of various effects when using the castle search mission effect]
With reference to FIGS. 6 to 9, an example of various effects in the case of going through the castle search mission effect will be specifically described.

(An example of a castle search mission)
FIG. 6 shows an example of a castle search mission effect. As shown in (b1), it is assumed that in the internal lottery performed when the start switch 7 is operated, a rare combination that can be won simultaneously with a bonus is won. At this time, for example, whether or not to execute the mission effect by lottery and the type of mission effect in the case of executing the mission effect are determined. In this example, execution of the castle search mission effect is determined.

As shown in (b2), after the start switch 7 is operated, the castle search mission effect starts. The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the character walking along the road leading to the castle. On the front side of the image, a character image of “castle search mission” suggesting the type of mission effect, and a castle search mission effect A character image of “You can safely reach the castle!” Suggesting a subtitle is displayed. When there are multiple types of castle search mission effects,
Get to the castle in time! Subtitles may change depending on the type, such as "Get a treasure chest in the castle!"

As shown in (b3), when a predetermined time elapses, the character image of “castle search mission” and the character image of “successfully reach the castle!” Disappear and continue to the castle displayed on the back side thereof. An image of a character walking along the road appears more clearly.

As shown in (b4), when the first stop operation is performed on the stop switch, an image for searching for a castle while the character sweats is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Since the cherry that is a rare role is stopped at the lower stage of the stopped left reel, the player can recognize that the cherry is won as a rare role that can be won simultaneously with the bonus.

As shown in (b5), when the second stop operation is performed on the stop switch, the display changes to a night scene, and an image in which the character searches for a castle while sweating is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As shown in (b6), when the third stop operation is performed on the stop switch, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which the character arrives at the fork and chooses the left or right way. Is done. A character image “Which?” Is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

Thereafter, as shown in (b7), an image in which the character starts walking by selecting the right path is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the rare role is not won simultaneously with the bonus, as shown in (b8), as an image suggesting that the bonus is not won, the character falls down in the forest without reaching the castle and the bird flies. The moving image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Thereafter, as shown in (b9), in the image where the character is falling in the forest, the character is still falling and does not move, but the image where the bird is moving from the state shown in (b8) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Is displayed.

When the predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in (b10), the operation of the bird stops, and the liquid crystal display 51
A character image “LOSE” is displayed on the upper left of the screen. At this time, the entire screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes darker than the states (b2) to (b9), and a so-called smoke is applied to the entire screen. Note that even if smoke is being applied, the characters and birds are visible. (
As shown in b11), the display state of the still image as shown in (b10) is maintained for a predetermined time.

(6-1) As shown in (a30), (a35) of FIG. 4 and (b30), (b35) of FIG. 8, the bonus and the bell are simultaneously won when the start switch 7 is operated. When the bonus is performed, the small symbol suggestion effect is executed and the bell symbol image is displayed. When the bonus is selected alone, the combination effect is executed and the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is displayed. As described above, since the symbol image is displayed at the same execution time as the start operation, both when suggesting the small role and when suggesting the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus, the display of the symbol image starts. Depending on the timing, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing whether it is a suggestion of a small role or a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus as much as possible. Therefore, the interest of the game can be effectively improved with respect to the suggestion of bonus winning and the suggestion of the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus.

(6-2), (7-6) (a33), (a38) in FIG. 4 and (b33), (
As shown in b <b> 38), in the small role suggestion effect, the bell symbol image is displayed first, and after that, the sound “buzz” is output from the speaker 53 after “bell”. On the other hand, in the combination effect, the symbol image of “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7” is displayed first, and after that, after “Aim!”, A sound “Truon” different from “Bash” is output from the speaker 53. . That is, different audio output control is performed when the combination effect is executed and when the small role suggestion effect is executed. Thus, since there is a sound corresponding to each of when suggesting a small combination and when suggesting a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus, either of the bell symbol image or the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” It is possible to easily tell the player whether it is displayed. As a result, the player can perform a combination effect including display of a bonus symbol combination image such as a “red 7 red 7 red 7” symbol image and a display of a winning small role symbol image such as a bell symbol image by voice output control. It is possible to distinguish a role suggestion effect. Furthermore, the timing at which the display of the bell symbol image and the symbol image “red 7 red 7 red 7” starts is earlier than the timing at which these sounds are output. By outputting the sound, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing whether it is a suggestion of a small role or a suggestion of a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus.

(6-3) It should be noted that when the bell symbol image is displayed in the small role suggestion effect and when the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is displayed in the combination effect, the common sound is produced by the speaker 53. May be output from. In this way, it is not necessary to provide different sound data depending on when the small combination is suggested and when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is suggested, so that the storage capacity of the RAM 41c can be reduced. Furthermore, depending on the type of sound, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing whether it is a suggestion of a small role or a suggestion of a symbol combination corresponding to a winning bonus.

(6-4) When a bonus and a small combination are simultaneously won, an image (for example, a bell graphic image) suggesting a small combination and an image indicating a symbol combination corresponding to the bonus (“
"Red 7 Red 7 Red 7" design image) may be displayed simultaneously with the start operation as a trigger. In this way, an image that suggests a small role and an image that suggests a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus are displayed at the same time on the same screen. And can improve the interest of the game.

(6-5) As shown in (a33), (a38) of FIG. 4 and (b33), (b38) of FIG. 8, the size of the “red 7 red 7 red 7” symbol image is the size of the bell symbol image. Greater than size. Thereby, the player can be made to pay more attention to the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” that suggests the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus than the bell symbol image that suggests the small role.

(6-6) As shown in (a34) and (a39) of FIG. 4 and (b34) and (b39) of FIG. 8, the display of the bell symbol image and the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” It disappears with the third stop operation to the stop switch. Thus, when suggesting a small role and when suggesting a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus, the symbol image disappears at the same execution opportunity as the third stop operation. Since it is not necessary to change the control for terminating the display of symbols depending on when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is suggested, the processing is not complicated.

(7-1) (a24), (a26), (a28) in FIG. 3, (a35) to (a3) in FIG.
9), as shown in (b24), (b26), (b28) in FIG. 7 and (b35) to (b39) in FIG. 8, a bonus such as a symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” in the combination effect, etc. The visibility of the “BONUS confirmed” character image when the symbol combination image is displayed is lower than the visibility of the “BONUS confirmed” character image when the bonus symbol combination image is not displayed in the bonus confirmation effect or the like.
By doing this, “BONUS confirmation” when displaying the bonus symbol combination image
The bonus symbol combination image is more conspicuous for the player than the slot machine when the character image visibility is not lower than the visibility of the character image of “BONUS confirmed” when the bonus symbol combination image is not displayed. It becomes easy to suggest the possibility. As a result, it becomes easier for a player who recognizes that the bonus is won by a bonus finalizing effect or the like to focus on deriving a bonus symbol combination, and the interest of the game is improved.

On the other hand, as shown in (a30) to (a38) of FIG. 4 and (b30) to (b38) of FIG. 8, “BON” is displayed when a winning small role symbol image such as a bell symbol image is displayed in the small role suggestion effect.
The visibility of the “US confirmed” character image is higher than the visibility of the “BONUS confirmed” character image when displaying the bonus symbol combination image in the combination effect.
By doing so, the visibility of the “BONUS confirmed” character image when displaying the winning small role symbol image is higher than the visibility of the “BONUS confirmed” character image when displaying the bonus symbol combination image. The display of the character image of “BONUS determination” becomes more conspicuous for the player than the slot machine with no slot machine, and it is difficult to impair the suggestion of winning the bonus.
In this embodiment, when the winning small role symbol image such as a bell symbol image is displayed in the small role suggestion effect, it is the same as the character image of “BONUS determination” when the bonus symbol combination image is not displayed in the bonus determination effect. The image is displayed, and the visibility of the character image of “BONUS confirmed” is prevented from being lowered as compared with the case where the bonus symbol combination image is not displayed.
If the visibility of the “BONUS confirmed” character image is not lowered, the visibility of the “BONUS confirmed” character image may be lowered.

(7-2) As shown in (a35) of FIG. 4 and (b35) of FIG. 8, when displaying a bonus symbol combination image such as a symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” in the combination effect, it is displayed. The bonus symbol combination image is displayed superimposed on the “confirmed” character image that is a part of the “BONUS confirmed” character image.
By doing so, the display of the bonus symbol combination image becomes more conspicuous for the player than the display of the character image of “BONUS determination”.
In addition, in order to make the display of the bonus symbol combination image conspicuous as in the present embodiment, the bonus symbol combination image is displayed on the front side of the character image display of “BONUS confirmed”. A character image “BONUS confirmed” may be displayed on the front side of the image display. Even in this case, it is preferable to make the display of the bonus symbol combination image conspicuous by reducing the brightness of the character image of “BONUS determination”.

(7-3) As shown in (a30) to (a39) of FIG. 4 and (b30) to (b39) of FIG. 8, in the combination effect, a bonus symbol combination such as a symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” The brightness of the character image of “BONUS determination” when displaying the image should be lower than the brightness of the character image of “BONUS determination” when not displaying the bonus symbol combination image in the bonus confirmation effect or the small role suggestion effect, etc. The visibility is lowered.
By doing this, “BONUS confirmation” when displaying the bonus symbol combination image
The display of the bonus symbol combination image is more conspicuous for the player than the slot machine where the luminance of the character image is not lower than the luminance of the “BONUS confirmed” character image when the bonus symbol combination image is not displayed.

(7-4) As shown in (a35) to (a38) in FIG. 4 and (b35) to (b38) in FIG. 8, the bonus symbol combination image such as the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” It is an image that indicates the type of bonus that has been won, and shows a state in which all bonus symbols are aligned on the winning line LN.
By doing in this way, the bonus symbol combination image is all bonus symbols winning line L
The player is more interested in the appearance of the bonus symbol combination image than the slot machine which is not an image showing the state of being arranged in N, and the interest regarding the display of the bonus symbol combination image is improved.

On the other hand, as shown in (a30) to (a38) in FIG. 4 and (b30) to (b38) in FIG. 8, the winning small role symbol image such as the bell symbol image is selected differently from the bonus symbol combination image. Although it is an image that suggests the type of small role, it is not an image that shows a state where all the small role symbols are aligned on the winning line LN, but an image that shows any one of the small role symbols. is there.
In this way, not only the bonus symbol combination image, but also the winning symbol combination symbol image is a slot machine in which the player shows the bonus symbol combination image than the slot machine which is an image showing a state where all the symbol combinations are aligned on the winning line LN. It becomes easy to be interested in appearance, and the interest regarding the display of the bonus symbol combination image is improved.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the winning small role symbol image such as the bell symbol image is not an image showing a state where all the small role symbols are aligned with the winning line LN. Similarly to the image, it may be an image showing a state where all the small role symbols are aligned on the winning line LN. That is, the winning combination symbol image may be a winning combination symbol combination image.

In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, about an image, you may display in semi-transparent thinly. The inconspicuous position may be, for example, a position where a portion overlapping with the bonus symbol combination image becomes large.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a first modification of the combination effect and the small role suggestion effect via the battle mission effect. Hereinafter, Modification 1 of the combination effect and the small role suggestion effect will be described.
In the first modification, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those in the embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from the above embodiment will be mainly described.

In the modification 1 of the small role suggestion effect, as shown in (a130) to (a133) of FIG. 10, the bell symbol images shown in (a30) to (a33) of FIG. A frame image covering the outer periphery of the image of the battle mission effect on the back side is displayed. The color of the frame image is displayed in a color corresponding to the winning small combination (for example, yellow if the bell is won, blue if the replay is won). Also, as shown in (a130) to (a133) in FIG. 10, the sound of “It's a bell” is output from the speaker 53 after a predetermined period has elapsed since the frame image was displayed.

Further, in the modification example 1 of the combination effect, the character images “BONUS confirmed” shown in (a135) to (a138) of FIG. 10 are displayed as “BONU” shown in (a35) to (a38) of FIG.
Although it is displayed without reducing the brightness as in the character image of “S confirmed”, (a35) to (a) in FIG.
The character image “BONUS confirmed” shown in (a38) is displayed smaller and above the left side. Further, the character image of “BONUS confirmation” is displayed small on the upper left side, so that FIG.
As shown in (a135) to (a138) of 0, even if the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is displayed as an animation that reduces from the enlarged state toward the center of the screen, the character image “BONUS confirmed” is displayed. The symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is not superimposed and displayed. Even if it changes in this way, there exists an effect similar to (7-1) and (7-4) mentioned above.

In this embodiment, (a35) to (a38) in FIG. 4 and (b35) to (b) in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 38), in the bonus symbol combination image, three bonus symbols are displayed in the winning line LN.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in (a238) of FIG. 11 to be described later, all stop symbols (including invalid lines 3 × 3 stop symbols). At this time, the display of all the stop symbols may be an animation display in which the stop symbols of each reel are displayed in order as shown in (a235) to (a238) of FIG. 11 described later. Moreover, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, all the stop symbols may be displayed simultaneously.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a second modification of the combination effect and the small role suggestion effect via the battle mission effect. Hereinafter, modification 2 of the combination effect will be described.
In the second modification, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as in the embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from the above embodiment will be mainly described.

In the modification 2 of the combination effect, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays on the back side an image in which the teammate character in the battle mission effect has won the enemy character. However, a part of the image showing the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus that can be won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the upper part on the front side. In this example, a symbol image of “replay white 7BAR” indicating a stop symbol of the left reel 2L when the regular bonus is won and seven whites corresponding to the regular bonus are aligned is displayed.
As shown in (a237) of FIG. 11, a symbol image of “Cherry White 7BAR” indicating the stop symbol of the middle reel 2C is then displayed. As shown in (a238) of FIG. 11, thereafter, a symbol image of “BAR white 7 replay” indicating a stop symbol of the right reel 2R is further displayed. Thereby, the player can clearly recognize that the derivation of the symbol combination of 7 regular whites is promoted.

As shown in (a235) to (a237) of FIG. 11, when an image showing a stop symbol of the left reel 2L and a stop symbol of the middle reel 2C is displayed, a sound suggesting that a bonus can be won. The sound “Aim!” Is output from the speaker 53. In addition, FIG.
As shown in (a238), when an image showing all the stop symbols is displayed, a sound effect “Truon” is output from the speaker 53 as a sound for prompting the derivation of the white 7 matching corresponding to the bonus that can be won. The As shown in (a235) to (a238) of FIG. 11, images indicating all stop symbols are displayed on the right side of the character image “BONUS confirmed”.
The text is displayed without being superimposed on the “determined” character image. In addition, (a239 in FIG.
As shown in (), when the third stop operation is performed, images indicating all stop symbols disappear, and in this example, a regular bonus is won and one game is completed. Even if it changes in this way, there exists an effect similar to (7-1), (7-3), (7-4) mentioned above.

In this embodiment, (a35) to (a38) in FIG. 4 and (b35) to (b) in FIG.
As shown in Fig. 38), when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus that can be won is indicated, the symbol images of the symbols "Red 7 Red 7 Red 7" corresponding to all the reels are displayed at a time at the start operation. It was. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a symbol image of the symbol “red 7” corresponding to each reel may be displayed for each operation of the stop switch. For example, in response to the start operation, the character image of the symbol “red 7” corresponding to the left reel 2L is displayed, and in response to the first stop operation on the left stop switch 8L, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C. The symbol image of “red 7 red 7” is displayed, and the symbol “red 7 red 7 red 7” corresponding to the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, and right reel 2R is triggered by the second stop operation on the middle stop switch 8C. The symbol image may be displayed. Even in this case, the start timing of the display of the symbol image is the same at the same execution opportunity of the start operation, both when suggesting the small combination and when suggesting the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus. Also, until the character image of the symbol corresponding to the right reel 2R is displayed, it is not known whether the big bonus is won or the regular bonus is won, so the player's expectation is maintained as much as possible. Can do.

Moreover, it is not limited for every operation of a stop switch, You may display the image of a bonus symbol according to operation of a stop switch. For example, (a335) to (a3) in FIG.
37), the symbol image corresponding to the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C is displayed in response to the start operation, and the symbol image corresponding to the remaining right reel 2R is displayed in response to the second stop operation. May be.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a third modification of the combination effect and the small role suggestion effect via the battle mission effect. Hereinafter, modification 3 of the combination effect will be described.
Note that in the third modification, detailed description of the same configuration and processing as those in the embodiment will be omitted, and portions different from the above embodiment will be mainly described.

In modification 3 of the combination effect, as shown in (a335) to (a337) of FIG. 12, the liquid crystal display 51 displays on the back side an image in which the teammate character in the battle mission effect has won the enemy character. However, a part of the image showing the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus that can be won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the upper part on the front side. In this example, the regular bonus is won, and with the start operation, the “red 7 red 7 white 7” symbol corresponding to the regular bonus is aligned with the winning line LN on the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C. A corresponding symbol image of “red 7 red 7” is displayed. At this time, the player does not know whether he / she has won the big bonus for deriving the symbol “Red 7 Red 7 Red 7” or the regular bonus for deriving the symbol “Red 7 Red 7 White 7” become. FIG.
Then, as shown in (a338) of No. 2, a symbol image of “white 7” corresponding to the right reel 2R is additionally displayed in response to the second stop operation. As a result, the regular bonus “Red 7
Although the player clearly recognizes that the derivation of the symbol combination “red 7 white 7” is prompted, the player can maintain the expectation of winning the big bonus at least until the second stop operation.

Further, as shown in (a335) to (a337) of FIG. 12, when a symbol image of “red 7 red 7” corresponding to the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C is displayed, it is possible to win a bonus. As a sound that suggests, the sound of “Aim!” Is output from the speaker 53. Also,
As shown in (a338) of FIG. 12, when the symbol image of “White 7” corresponding to the right reel 2R is additionally displayed, “Truon” is generated as a sound for prompting the derivation of the white 7 set corresponding to the winning bonus. Is output from the speaker 53. In addition, (a335)-(a3 of FIG.
38), the symbol image of the symbol “red 7” corresponding to the left reel 2L is “BONUS”
It is displayed so as to be superimposed on most of the character image of “confirmed”. Further, (a
As shown in FIG. 339), when the third stop operation is performed, images indicating all stop symbols disappear, and in this example, a regular bonus is won and one game ends. Even if it changes in this way, there exists an effect similar to (7-1)-(7-4) mentioned above.

In this embodiment, as shown in (a28), (a29), (a35) to (a38) in FIG. 4 and (b28), (b29), (b35) to (b38) in FIG. After executing the final effect, the combination effect will be executed when the bonus is won alone until the bonus is won. If the bonus symbol combination is displayed in the same manner as the combination effect, the player who recognizes the bonus symbol combination in the first combination effect may be uncomfortable. For this reason, when the combination effect is executed after the second time, the effect mode may be different from that when the combination effect is first executed. For example, (a435) to (a4) in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 38), when the combination effect is executed for the second time and thereafter, the bonus symbol combination may not be displayed as when the combination effect is executed for the first time.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a modification 4 of the combination effect and the small role suggestion effect via the battle mission effect. Hereinafter, modification 4 of the combination effect will be described.
In the fourth modification, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as in the embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from the above embodiment will be mainly described.

In the modification 4 of the combination effect, as shown in (a435) to (a438) of FIG. 13, when the bonus is selected for the second time or later, the start operation is used as a trigger (a38 of FIG. 4).
The same image as the combination effect image shown in FIG. Further, at this time, as shown in (a435) to (a438) of FIG. 13, with the start operation as a trigger, after the sound of “Aim!” Is output from the speaker 53, the sound effect “Truon” Is output from.

(7-5) As shown in (a435) to (a438) of FIG. 13, in the modification 4 of the combination effect, if the bonus is won for the second time or later, the “red 7 red” is triggered by the start operation. The symbol image of “7 red 7” is displayed in the center of the screen from the beginning. Therefore, the second and subsequent combination effects differ from the first combination effects shown in (a35) to (a38) of FIG. Note that the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is displayed in the center of the screen from the beginning, so that it does not overlap with the character image “BONUS confirmed”. In addition, FIG.
3 (a435) to (a438) “BONUS” than other periods
The brightness of the “determined” character image is displayed low.
Even if it changes in this way, there exists an effect similar to (7-1), (7-3), (7-4) mentioned above. In addition, in this way, when the combination effect is first executed and the bonus symbol combination image is displayed in the execution period of the combination effect after the bonus finalization effect is executed until the bonus is won, and after the second time. The bonus symbol combination becomes easier for the player to be interested in the display of the bonus symbol combination image than the slot machine in which the bonus symbol combination image is displayed in the same manner when the combination effect is executed and the bonus symbol combination image is displayed. Interest related to image display is improved.

In this embodiment, (a30) to (a39) in FIG. 4 and (b30) to (b) in FIG.
As shown in 39), in the small role suggestion effect, the image displayed in the routed mission effect (battle mission effect, castle search mission effect), the winning small role symbol image such as a bell symbol image, and the characters “BONUS confirmed” An image is displayed, and in the combination effect, the image displayed in the route mission effect, a bonus symbol combination image such as a symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7”, and a character image of “BONUS confirmed” are displayed. Yes. However, the images displayed in the small role suggestion effect and the combination effect are not limited to these, and for example, as shown in (a530) to (a539) of FIG. 14 described later, a special character image may be displayed. . Note that the special character image is an image that indicates the type of bonus that has been won (for example, an image that is displayed at a high rate when the big bonus is won, an image that is displayed only when the big bonus is won, etc.). Although it is preferable, it may be an image that has nothing to do with the type of winning bonus.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a fifth modification of the combination effect and the small role suggestion effect via the battle mission effect. Hereinafter, a modified example 5 of the small role suggestion effect and the combination effect will be described. In the modified example 5, the detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the modified example 3 is omitted, and different parts from the modified example 3 are mainly described.

In Modification 5 of the combination effect, as shown in (a530) to (a538) of FIG. 14, the small role suggestion effect shown in (a30) to (a34) of FIG. 12 and (a335) of FIG.
Special character images are additionally displayed in Modification 3 of the combination effect shown in (a339). In the fifth modification, the special character image is displayed at the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

(7-7) As shown in (a530) to (a539) of FIG. 14, in the fifth modification of the small role suggestion effect and the combination effect, a special character image is additionally displayed. The special character image is displayed at a position that does not overlap with a winning symbol combination image such as a bell symbol image, a bonus symbol combination image such as a “red 7 red 7 red 7” symbol image, or a “BONUS confirmed” character image. Thus, it is displayed without a drop in visibility like a character image of “BONUS determination” in the combination effect.
Even if it changes in this way, there exists an effect similar to (7-1)-(7-4) mentioned above. In addition, in this way, the special character image can be displayed more than the slot machine that reduces the visibility of the special character image as compared to the visibility of the character image “BONUS confirmed” when displaying the bonus symbol combination image. Become more conspicuous for a person, and it is difficult to detract from the appearance of the overall combination production.

As in the fifth modification, the special character image is not limited to one type, and may be a plurality of types. In this case, the type of bonus that is won may be suggested by the type of special character image. For example, if the first special character image is highly likely to win the big bonus, the second special character image may be likely to win the regular bonus.
Although it is preferable not to reduce the visibility of the special character image, for example, by not displaying the bonus symbol combination image overlapping the display of the special character image as in the fifth modification, the bonus symbol combination image is displayed. When viewing the special character image visibility "BON
The visibility of the special character image may be lowered if the visibility is lower than the visibility of the character image “US confirmed”.

In this embodiment, the symbol image of “red 7 red 7 red 7” is displayed in a reduced scale from an enlarged display step by step, but the reduction stage is in two or three stages. It suffices if it is reduced at least between a plurality of stages between enlarged display and reduced display.

[Bonus winning performance]
“BIG” shown in (a44), (a46) of FIG. 5 and (b44), (b46) of FIG.
When the “BONUS” character image is displayed, it is more emphasized than when the “BONUS confirmed” character image shown in (a25), (a27) of FIG. 3 and (b25), (b27) of FIG. 7 is displayed. As an example, the character image size is large, the character image moves, the output sound is large, the sound output time is long, the character sound is output, there are multiple characters that output sound, the effect "B", the brightness of the effect is large, the effect generation time is long, there are many decoration images in the effect, and the decoration image in the effect is large.
Any method may be used as long as the character image of “IG BONUS” is emphasized more than the character image of “BONUS determination”.

The character image “BIG BONUS” is displayed in a reduced scale from an enlarged display step by step, but the reduction stage may be two or three stages, and at least an enlarged display and a reduced display What is necessary is just to be reduced over a plurality of stages.

[Right to control to a specific state]
In the present embodiment, the regular bonus and the big bonus are exemplified as the right to control to the specific state (advantageous state), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the right to control the operation procedure of the stop switch to an AT (assist time) that can be notified to the player (
For example, Navistock) may be applied, or a right (for example, the number of CZ games) for controlling to a CZ (chance zone) having a higher probability of being controlled by an AT than in a normal state may be applied. Good. Such a section controlled by AT or CZ is also referred to as an advantageous section, and a section that is not controlled as an advantageous section is also referred to as a normal section. That is, the right to control in the advantageous section may be applied as the right to control to the specific state.

Further, for example, when the right to control to the advantageous section is granted via the mission effects (battle mission effect, castle search mission effect) shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
U91a may execute an advantageous section finalizing effect (AT finalizing effect, CZ finalizing effect) similar to the bonus finalizing effect shown in FIGS. 3 and 7 as an effect suggesting the possibility of being controlled to the advantageous section. When the advantageous section finalizing effect is executed, for example, a character image indicating that the control of the advantageous section is fixed instead of the character image of “BONUS determination” (a character image of “AT determination” if AT, C
If it is Z, a “CZ confirmed” character image) may be displayed.

In this case, the main CPU 41a may allow the derivation of the specific symbol combination (for example, the symbol combination of red 7, white 7, BAR, etc.) when starting the control of the advantageous section.
The U91a may display a specific symbol combination image (for example, a symbol image of “Red 7 White 7BAR”) by executing a combination effect when starting control of the advantageous section. At this time, for the character image indicating that the control of the advantageous section is confirmed in the combination effect for displaying the specific symbol combination image, the visibility is reduced by lowering the brightness or the like, while the small role suggestion after the execution of the advantageous section confirmation effect is performed. Visibility does not have to be reduced for a character image indicating that control of the advantageous section is confirmed in the performance. Also, when performing a small role suggestion effect, a so-called push forward (for example, push order bell, push order replay) that wins a small role that is advantageous to the player when the type of the selected small role is operated in the correct push order. ), A navigation image notifying the correct pressing order may be additionally displayed. Even when a navigation image is displayed, it is preferable not to lower the visibility of a character image indicating that the control of the advantageous section is confirmed.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, all the images are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the small role suggestion effect and the combination effect, but all these images are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. It is not limited to displaying only. For example, a transmissive liquid crystal display capable of adjusting the transmittance is newly provided in front of the liquid crystal display 51, a part of these images is displayed on the transmissive liquid crystal display, and the rest is displayed on the liquid crystal display. 51 may be displayed. Even when each image is displayed separately on the transmissive liquid crystal display and the liquid crystal display 51, the visibility of the character image of “BONUS confirmed” is reduced when displaying the bonus symbol combination image in the combination effect. On the other hand, when displaying the winning small role symbol image in the small role suggestion effect,
It is necessary not to lower the visibility of the character image “BONUS determination”.

Note that various configurations, various processes, timings of various processes, and the like in the present embodiment and the modification described above can be combined as appropriate. Moreover, this embodiment is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and includes all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
