Passing of the game ball to the gates (the first gate 28 and the second gate 29) is a trigger of the ordinary symbol lottery for determining whether or not to open the electric chew 22. In other words, the passage of the game ball to the gates 28 and 29 usually triggers acquisition of a random number per symbol and determination of a hit.

  Here, the "special symbol lottery" means that when a game ball wins in the first starting port 20 or the second starting port 21, a random number for special symbol determination is acquired, and the acquired random number is determined in advance. It refers to a process of determining whether or not it is a big hit and whether or not it is a small hit by comparing with a value corresponding to “big hit” or “small hit”. The lottery results of the "big hits" and "small hits" are not immediately notified to the player, and the special symbols are fluctuated and displayed on the first special symbol display 41a or the second special symbol display 41b described later. When a predetermined fluctuation time elapses, the special symbol corresponding to the lottery result is stopped and displayed (fixed display), and the result of the lottery is notified to the player. In the image display device 7, a symbol matching game in which the effect symbols are variably displayed in synchronization with the change display of the special symbols is performed, and the result of the jackpot lottery is more effectively notified to the player by the symbol matching game.

  In addition, “lottery of ordinary symbols” means that when a game ball passes through the first gate 28 or the second gate 29, a random number for ordinary symbol determination is acquired, and the acquired random number is determined by a predetermined “hit” Is determined by comparing with a value corresponding to "." With respect to the result of the lottery of the ordinary symbol, the result of the lottery is not immediately notified when the game ball passes through the first gate 28 or the second gate 29, and the variation of the ordinary symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display 42 described later. Is performed, and when a predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed, the ordinary symbol corresponding to the lottery result is fixedly displayed (lighted or turned off), and the lottery result is notified to the player.

  The first special winning device (first attacker, first special variable winning device) 31 is disposed below the first gate 28 in the game area 3 and includes a first special winning opening (first special winning opening) 30. I have. The first special winning opening 30 is provided with an opening / closing member (first special winning opening / closing member) 32 that allows or impedes the reception of a game ball by a swing-type opening / closing operation. The opening / closing member 32 is driven by a first special winning opening solenoid 33. When the opening / closing member 32 is in the open state, the first large winning opening 30 allows game balls to enter.

Have. The second special winning opening 35 is provided with an opening / closing member (a second special winning opening opening / closing member, a movable member) 37 that inhibits or permits the reception of the game ball by a shutter-type opening / closing operation. The opening / closing member 37 is driven by a second special winning opening solenoid 38. When the opening / closing member 37 is in the open state, the second large winning opening 35 allows a game ball to enter.

  The second big winning device 36 includes a V region (specific region) 39, a V region sensor 39a, a non-V region (non-specific region) 70, a non-V region sensor 70a, and a second large winning opening sensor. 35 a, a V opening / closing member 71, and a V opening / closing member solenoid 73. The V region (specific region) 39 and the non-V region (non-specific region) 70 are configured as regions through which the game balls that have passed through the second special winning opening 35 can pass inside the second special winning device 36. . The second special winning opening sensor 35a is disposed upstream of the V region 39 and the non-V region 70, and detects a winning of a game ball to the second special winning opening 35. The V region sensor 39a is arranged in the V region 39, and detects the passage of a game ball to the V region 39. The non-V region sensor 70a is disposed in the non-V region 70, and detects passage of a game ball to the non-V region 70. The V opening / closing member 71 distributes the game ball that has passed through the second special winning opening 35 to either the V region 39 or the non-V region 70. The V opening / closing member solenoid 73 drives the V opening / closing member 71. The V opening / closing member 71 is configured to rotate (clockwise and counterclockwise with respect to the game board 2). When the V opening / closing member solenoid 73 is energized, the V opening / closing member 71 rotates clockwise from the origin position to rotate the game sphere. The first state (rotating state) of distributing to the region 39 is obtained, and the second state (stop state) of distributing the game ball to the non-V region 70 at the origin when the V opening / closing member solenoid 73 is not energized. The V opening / closing member 71 is not limited to the rotational movement, and may have a function of distributing a game ball that has passed through the first special winning opening 30 to either the V region 39 or the non-V region 70. You may comprise so that it may move to the left-right direction with respect to the game board 2.

Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are collectively referred to as “special symbols”. In addition, the first special symbol display 41a and the second special symbol display 41b are also collectively referred to as "special symbol display 41". Further, the first special figure reservation display 43a and the second special figure reservation display 43b are collectively referred to as "special figure reservation display 43".

  The special symbol display 41 variably displays (variable display) the special symbol (identification information), and then displays the special symbol (stop) to thereby perform a lottery based on a winning in the first starting port 20 or the second starting port 21 (a lottery per special symbol). , Jackpot and small hit lottery). The special symbol that is stopped and displayed (the special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of the variable symbol and the stopped symbol) is one special symbol selected from a plurality of types of special symbols by a special symbol lottery. If the stop symbol is a special symbol (jackpot symbol) in a predetermined jackpot stop mode, the first large winning opening 30 is formed in an open pattern corresponding to the type of the jackpot symbol stopped and displayed (winning jackpot type). Jackpot game (the second special game) to open the game. In addition, when the stop symbol is a special symbol (small hit symbol) in a predetermined small hit stop mode, an open pattern according to the type of the small hit symbol stopped and displayed (the type of the winning small hit) is displayed. A small hit game (first special game) for opening the second big winning opening 35 is performed. The opening pattern of the special winning opening (the first special winning opening 30 and the second special winning opening 35) in the first special game or the second special game will be described later.

  The special symbol display 41 is composed of eight LEDs arranged side by side, and displays a special symbol according to the result of the special symbol lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when a jackpot (one of a plurality of types of jackpots described later) is won, the left and right, such as "OOOOOOOO" (O: ON, OFF: OFF) , 5th and 6th are displayed with the big hit symbols lit. In addition, when a small hit is won (one of a plurality of types of small hits described later), the fifth and sixth LEDs from the left are turned on, such as "●●●● ○ ●●●". Display the small hit symbol. In the case of a loss, a loss pattern in which only the rightmost LED is turned on, such as "●●●●●●● ○", is displayed. A mode in which all the LEDs are turned off as the losing symbol may be adopted. Before the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the variable display (variable display) of the special symbol is performed for a predetermined variable time. In the variation display mode, for example, each LED may be turned on so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. The mode of the variable display is not limited to the above mode as long as each LED is not stopped (lighted display in a specific mode), and may be any lighting mode. For example, in the variation display mode, all the LEDs may blink simultaneously.

  In the gaming machine 1, when a game ball is won (entered) in the first starting port 20 or the second starting port 21, various random numbers such as random numbers per special symbol acquired for the winning (numerical information ) Are temporarily stored in the special figure reservation storage area 85 (FIG. 6). Specifically, if the winning is in the first opening 20, it is stored as the first special figure reservation in the first special figure holding storage area 85 a (FIG. 6), and if the winning is in the second starting opening 21. Are stored in the second special figure reservation storage area 85b (FIG. 6) as the second special figure reservation. There is an upper limit to the number of special figure reservations that can be stored in each special figure reservation storage area 85, and the upper limit value in the present embodiment is four first special figure reservation storage areas 85a and second special figure reservation storage area 85b is one. The special figure reservation stored in the special figure reservation storage area 85 is digested when a special symbol based on the special figure reservation can be variably displayed. The “extinguishment of the special figure reservation” means that a random number per special symbol corresponding to the special figure reservation is determined, and a special symbol is variably displayed to show the determination result. Therefore, in the gaming machine 1, when the variable display of the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 20 or the second starting port 21 cannot be performed immediately after the winning, that is, the variable display of the special symbol is executed. Even if there is a prize during the execution of a middle game or a special game (big hit game or small hit game), it is possible to reserve the right of the big hit small lottery for the prize, up to a predetermined number. The number of special figure reservations is displayed on the special figure reservation display 43.

The normal symbol display 42 displays the result of the normal symbol lottery based on the passing of the game ball to the first gate 28 or the second gate 29 by variably displaying (variable display) the normal symbols and then displaying the stopped symbols. The normal symbol which is stopped and displayed (the normal symbol which is stopped and the normal symbol which is derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display) is one ordinary symbol selected from a plurality of types of ordinary symbols by the ordinary symbol lottery. When the normal symbol stop symbol is a predetermined specific normal symbol (a normal symbol in a predetermined stop mode, that is, a normal hit symbol), an assist for opening the second starting port 21 in an opening pattern according to the current game state. A game is played. The opening pattern of the second starting port 21 will be described later.

  The ordinary symbol display 42 is composed of three LEDs, and displays an ordinary symbol according to the result of the ordinary symbol lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the lottery result is a winning, a normal winning symbol in which the first and second LEDs from the left are lit, such as “○ ●” (○: lit, ：: unlit), is displayed. If the lottery result is a loss, a normal loss pattern in which only the right LED is turned on, such as "●● ○", is displayed. A mode in which all the LEDs are turned off may be adopted as a normal losing symbol. Before the normal symbol is stopped and displayed, the normal symbol is changed and displayed for a predetermined change time. In the variation display mode, for example, each LED may be turned on so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. The mode of the variable display is not limited to the above mode as long as each LED is not stopped (lighted display in a specific mode), and may be any lighting mode. For example, in the variation display mode, all the LEDs may blink simultaneously.

  In the gaming machine 1, when the game ball passes through the first gate 28 or the second gate 29, the value of the random number per ordinary symbol acquired for the passage is stored in the general figure holding storage area 86 (FIG. 6). It is temporarily stored as a normal drawing hold. There is an upper limit to the number of general-purpose reservations that can be stored in the general-purpose reservation storage area 86, and the upper limit in this embodiment is one. The general figure hold stored in the general figure hold storage area 86 is exhausted when the variable display of the normal symbol based on the general figure hold becomes possible. The term “extension of the ordinary symbol reservation” means that the random number per ordinary symbol corresponding to the ordinary symbol reservation is determined, and the variable display of the ordinary symbol for indicating the determination result is executed. Therefore, in the gaming machine 1, when the variable display of the ordinary symbol based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 28 cannot be performed immediately after the passing, that is, during the execution of the variable display of the ordinary symbol and during the execution of the auxiliary game, the prize is won. Even in the case where there is, it is possible to reserve the right of the ordinary symbol lottery for the passage up to the predetermined number. The number of general-purpose reservations is displayed on the general-purpose reservation display 44. The general-purpose reservation indicator 44 is composed of, for example, one LED, and displays the number of general-purpose reservations by lighting the LEDs for the number of general-purpose reservations.

The “special random number per symbol” is a random number used in a lottery (small jackpot lottery) for determining whether or not a big hit or a small hit, and has a value in a range of 0 to 65535. The "special symbol-per-type random number" is a random number used in a lottery (winning type determination) of a winning big or small winning type, and has a value in a range of 0 to 127. The “reach random number” is a random number used to determine whether or not to generate a reach in the effect design fluctuation effect indicating the result when the jackpot / small hit determination is a loss, and is in a range of 0 to 127. Take the value of Reach is a state in which there is only one effect symbol that is variably displayed among a plurality of effect symbols (decorative symbols), and depends on which symbol the variable symbol is stopped and displayed. Means a state in which a combination of effect symbols indicating a big hit and a small hit is won (for example, “7 ↓ 7”). The effect symbol that is stopped and displayed in the reach state may be displayed as if swinging in the display screen 7a. The “variation pattern random number” is a random number used to determine a variation pattern including a variation time, and takes a value in a range from 0 to 127. The “normal random number per symbol” is a random number used in a random determination (regular symbol lottery) for determining whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 22, and takes a value in a range of 0 to 255. The “normal random number per symbol type” is a random number used for lottery of a winning type (winning type determination) won in the normal symbol lottery, and takes a value in a range of 0 to 65535. The “random number per special symbol”, “random number per special symbol”, “reach random number”, and “variable pattern random number” are obtained based on the ball entering the starting port (first starting port 20 or second starting port 21). Is done. The random number group acquired based on the ball entering the first opening 20 is stored in the first special figure reservation storage area 85a, and the random number group acquired based on the ball entering the second opening 21 is It is stored in the second special figure reservation storage area 85b. The “random number per ordinary symbol” and the “random number per ordinary symbol type” are acquired based on passing through a gate (the first gate 28 or the second gate 29). The acquired random number value per ordinary symbol and the random number value per ordinary symbol type are stored in the ordinary symbol holding storage area 86.

  The effect control microcomputer 91 is configured to acquire the “fluctuation effect pattern random number”, the “time saving effect scenario random number”, and the “prefetch effect random number” at a later-described timing. The “fluctuation effect pattern random number” is a random number used to determine a fluctuation effect pattern, and takes a value in a range from 0 to 127. The “time saving effect scenario random number” is a random number used to determine a change scenario of the number of remaining time savings (the number of remaining times to be displayed) displayed on the image display device 7 in the time saving state, and has a value in the range of 0 to 127. Take. The “prefetch effect random number” is a random number used to determine a prefetch effect at the time of a variable effect, and takes a value in a range of 0 to 127. The “fluctuation effect pattern random number” is acquired based on the fact that the fluctuation start command is output from the main control unit to the sub control unit. The obtained random number value is stored in the sub RAM 94. The “time saving effect scenario random number” is obtained based on the output of the ending command from the main control unit to the sub control unit. The “prefetch effect random number” is acquired based on the output of the preliminary determination command from the main control unit to the sub control unit. The obtained random number value is stored in the sub RAM 94.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the special symbol hit determination table T1 and the reach determination table T2. FIG. 9A shows a diagram for explaining the special symbol hit determination table T1, and FIG. 9B shows a diagram for explaining the reach determination table T2.

  The special symbol hit determination table T1 indicates that the special symbol random number (any of 0 to 65535) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later) is “big hit”, “small hit”, or “losing”. Is a table that is referred to to determine which of the following conditions applies. In FIG. 9A, in the random determination of the first special symbol (special symbol 1), when the random number value per special symbol is “0 to 210”, it is determined to be “big hit”, and the random number value per special symbol is “ In the case of "10000 to 10500", it is determined that "small hit" is determined, and when the random number value per special symbol is a numerical value other than the above from 0 to 65535, it is determined that "losing" is determined. . Also, in the lottery of the second special symbol (special symbol 2), when the random number value per special symbol is “0 to 210”, it is determined as “big hit”, and the random number value per special symbol is “10000 to 16500”. In this case, it is determined that "small hit" is determined, and when the random number value per special symbol is a numerical value other than the above from 0 to 65535, "loss" is determined.

  The reach determination table T2 indicates that the reach random number (any of 0 to 127) obtained by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later) corresponds to “reach present” or “reach no”. This is a table that is referred to to determine whether or not the data is stored. In FIG. 9B, in the “non-time saving state”, when the reach random number is “0 to 13”, it is determined that “reach is present” and the reach random number is “a numerical value other than 0 to 13 (14 to 13). 127)), it is indicated that it is determined that there is no reach. Further, in the “time reduction state”, when the reach random number is “0 to 5”, it is determined that “reach is present”, and when the reach random number is “a numerical value other than 0 to 5 (6 to 127)”, Is determined to be "no reach". The contents of the “time reduction state” and the “non-time reduction state” will be described later. In the reach determination table T2, it is more difficult to reach at the time of loss than in the time reduction state than in the non-time reduction state. This is because the speed of digesting the suspension of the special figure is increased by selecting more losing without reach having a short fluctuation time in the time reduction state.

  The special symbol hit type determination table T3 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the special symbol hit type determination table T3 in the lottery of the special figure 1. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the special symbol hit type determination table T3 in the lottery of the special figure 2. The special symbol hit type determination table T3 indicates the “big hit type” or “big hit type” according to the special symbol hit type random value (any of 0 to 127) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later). It is a table that is referred to in order to determine “small hit type” and “special symbol type”. In FIG. 10, when the special drawing 1 random number value is “0 to 15” in the special drawing 1 lottery in the “non-time saving state” and the special symbol type is “0 to 15”, the big hit type is “15R "A", and the stop symbol (the special symbol 1 stop symbol) of the special symbol 1 stopped and displayed on the first special symbol indicator 41a is determined as the "time saving symbol 1". When the special symbol type random number value is “16 to 63”, the jackpot type is determined to be “15R time saving 99 times big hit B”, and the special symbol 1 stop symbol is determined to be “hour saving symbol 2”. When the special symbol type random number value is “64 to 127”, the jackpot type is determined to be “15R time-saving five times big hit A”, and the special symbol 1 stopped symbol is determined to be “hour-saving symbol 3”. On the other hand, in the case of “small hit” in the special drawing 1 lottery in the “non-time saving state”, the small hit type is set regardless of the special symbol hit type random value (any of 0 to 127). It is determined to be "16R normal small hit A (substantially 5R · V substantially impossible to pass)", and the special figure 1 stop symbol is determined to be "time saving no small hit symbol 1".

  When the special jackpot is won in the lottery of the special map 1 in the “time saving state”, if the random number value per special symbol is “0 to 63”, the jackpot type is determined to be “15R time reduction 99 times jackpot C”. , The special symbol 1 stop symbol is determined to be “hour reduction symbol 4”. When the special symbol type random number value is “64 to 127”, the jackpot type is determined to be “15R, 5 time savings, 5 big hits B”, and the special symbol 1 stopped symbol is determined to be “hours saving symbol 5”. On the other hand, when the "small hit" is selected in the lottery of the special figure 1 in the "time reduction state", the small hit type is "irrespective of the special symbol hit type random value (any of 0 to 127). 16R normal small hit B (substantially 5R · V passing substantially impossible) ”is determined, and the special figure 1 stop symbol is determined as“ time saving small hit symbol 2 ”.

  In FIG. 11, when the special jackpot type is “0 to 63” in the special drawing 2 lottery in the “non-time saving state” and the special symbol hit type random value is “0 to 63”, the jackpot type is “15R C ", and the stop symbol of the special figure 2 (the special symbol 2 stop symbol) stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 41b is determined to be" time saving symbol 6 ". When the special symbol type random number value is “64 to 95”, the jackpot type is determined to be “15R time reduction 15 times big hit A”, and the special symbol 2 stop symbol is determined to be “hour reduction symbol 7”. When the special symbol type random number value is "96 to 127", the jackpot type is determined to be "15R time reduction 99 times big hit D", and the special symbol 2 stop symbol is determined to be "hour reduction symbol 8". On the other hand, when "small hit" is selected in the lottery of the special figure 2 in the "non-time saving state", if the random number value per type of special symbol is "0 to 63", the small hit type is "16R, 5 times shorter And the second special symbol display 41b determines that the special symbol 2 stop symbol of the special symbol 2 is "the small symbol with time reduction 1" on the second special symbol indicator 41b. When the special symbol type random number value is “64 to 127”, the small hit type is determined to be “16R time reduction 99 times small hit A (substantially 15R · V passable)”, and the special figure 2 stop symbol is “hour reduction”. It is determined that there is a small hit symbol 2 ".

  If the random number value per special symbol is “0 to 79” in the special drawing 2 lottery in the “time reduction state” and the special symbol type is “0 to 79”, the big hit type is determined to be “15R, 5 times per hour, 5 times big hit D”. , The special symbol 2 stop symbol is determined to be “time saving symbol 9”. When the special symbol type random number value is “80 to 95”, the jackpot type is determined to be “15R time reduction 15 times big hit B”, and the special symbol 2 stop symbol is determined to be “hour reduction symbol 10”. When the special symbol type random number value is "96 to 127", the jackpot type is determined to be "15R time saving 99 times big hit E", and the special symbol 2 stop symbol is determined to be "hour saving symbol 11". On the other hand, if the special symbol hit type random number value is "0 to 63" in the special drawing 2 lottery in the "time reduction state", the small hit type is "16R B (substantially 15R · V passing possible) ”, and the special symbol 2 stop symbol is determined as“ small hit symbol 3 with time reduction ”. When the special symbol type random number value is “64 to 95”, the small hit type is determined to be “16R time reduction 10 times small hit (substantial 15R · V passing possible)”, and the special figure 2 stop symbol is “hour reduction It is determined as "small hit symbol 4". If the special symbol type random number value is “96 to 111”, the small hit type is determined to be “16R time reduction 15 times small hit (substantial 15R · V passing possible)” and the special figure 2 stop symbol is “hour reduction It is determined that the small hit symbol 5 ". When the special symbol type random number value is “112 to 127”, the small hit type is determined to be “16R time reduction 99 times small hit B (substantially 15R · V can pass)”, and the special figure 2 stop symbol is “hour reduction” It is determined that there is a small hit symbol 6 ". By referring to the special symbol hit type determination table T3, in addition to the "special symbol stop symbol data" corresponding to the special symbol stop symbol (the special symbol 1 stop symbol and the special symbol 2 stop symbol), the special game "opening" (OP) command, “round designation command”, and “ending (ED) command” can also be specified. The specific contents of each big hit and each small hit will be described later.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4. The special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 is a table that is referred to by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later) in order to determine a variation pattern according to the acquired variation pattern random number (0 to 127). It is. In FIG. 12, for example, when the first starting port 20 is won in the non-time saving state, it is determined as "big hit" in the special symbol hit determination table T1, and when the random number of the variable pattern is "111 to 127", the variable pattern Is determined to be “P2”. In addition, for example, in the non-working time state, the first starting opening 20 is won, the special symbol hit determination table T1 determines "losing", the reach determination table T2 determines "no reach", and the number of reserved balls is "1". In the case of “２2”, it is indicated that the variation pattern is determined to be “P6” regardless of the variation pattern random number value (any of 0 to 127). Further, for example, when the player wins the second starting port 21 in the time saving state and is determined as “small hit” in the special symbol hit determination table T1, regardless of the variation pattern random number value (any of 0 to 127) ) Indicates that the fluctuation pattern is determined to be “P17”. As shown in FIG. 12, if the fluctuation pattern is determined, the fluctuation time is also determined. In addition, when reaching, it is also determined whether the reach is a normal reach or a super reach (SP reach). In addition, it is determined whether or not there is a pseudo-ream when becoming a super reach.

  FIG. 13A shows a diagram for explaining the ordinary symbol hit determination table T5, and FIG. 13B shows a diagram for explaining the ordinary symbol hit type determination table T6. FIG. 13 (C) shows a diagram for explaining the ordinary symbol variation pattern determination table T7. The normal symbol hit determination table T5 indicates whether the acquired random number per normal symbol (any of 0 to 255) corresponds to “hit” or “loss” in the main control main process (described later) by the game control microcomputer 81. This is a table that is referred to to determine whether it is applicable. In FIG. 13 (A), in any of the “non-time saving state” and the “time saving state”, when the random number value per ordinary symbol is “0 to 254” in the lottery of the ordinary symbol (ordinary symbol), It is shown that when it is determined as "hit" and the random number per symbol is "a numerical value (255) other than 0 to 254", it is determined as "losing".

  The normal symbol hit type determination table T6 includes “hit type” and “hit type” according to the normal symbol hit type random value (any of 0 to 65535) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later). This is a table that is referred to to determine the “ordinary symbol type”. In FIG. 13 (B), when the random number value per symbol type is “0 to 30” when the lottery of the ordinary figure in the “non-time saving state” is won, the hit type is determined to be “long open 1”. Then, the stop symbol of the ordinary symbol (the ordinary symbol stop symbol) stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display 42 is determined to be "hit symbol 1". When the random number value of the normal symbol per type is “100 to 170”, the hit type is determined to be “short open 1”, and the normal symbol stopped symbol is determined to be “hit symbol 2”. In the case where the random number value of the normal symbol per type is a numerical value other than the above from 0 to 65535, the hit type is determined to be "short open 2", and the normal symbol stopped symbol is determined to be "hit symbol 3". Have been. On the other hand, when the lottery is won in the lottery drawing in the “time reduction state”, the hit type is determined to be “long open 2” regardless of the random number value of the type per normal symbol (any of 0 to 65535). This shows that the normal symbol stop symbol is determined to be "hit symbol 4". By referring to the normal symbol hit type determination table T6, it is possible to specify “normal symbol stop symbol data” (not shown) corresponding to the symbol stop symbol.

  The normal symbol variation pattern determination table T7 is a table that is referred to by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main processing (described later) in order to determine the variation time of the general figure according to the lottery result and the hit type of the general figure. It is. In FIG. 13 (C), for example, when the lottery result of the general figure in the non-working time state is “hit”, and when the hit type is “long open 1”, the variation time of the general figure is determined to be “30 seconds”. Is shown. Further, for example, when the lottery result of the general figure in the time reduction state is “losing”, the fluctuation time of the general figure is determined to be “1 second”.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the electric tue opening pattern determination table T8. The electric chew opening pattern determination table T8 is used by the game control microcomputer 81 to determine the opening pattern of the electric chew 22 in the main control main process (described later) according to a general stop symbol (normal stop symbol data). Table to be referenced. In FIG. 14A, for example, when the normal symbol stop symbol is “hit symbol 1”, the open pattern of the electric chew 22 is determined to be “open pattern 11”, and for example, the normal symbol stop symbol is “hit symbol”. 4 indicates that the open pattern is determined to be “open pattern 14”. FIG. 14B shows the contents of each of the open patterns 11 to 14. In the opening pattern 11, the electric chew 22 is opened once with an opening (OP) time of 6 seconds, an opening time of 5 seconds, and an ending (ED) time of 1 second. In the opening patterns 11 and 12, the electric chew 22 is opened once with an opening (OP) time of 0.01 seconds, an opening time of 0.02 seconds, and an ending (ED) time of 0.01 seconds. In the opening pattern 14, the electric chew 22 is opened once with an opening (OP) time of 0.01 second, an opening time of 3 seconds, and an ending (ED) time of 0.01 second. However, the opening of the electric chew 22 is closed even if the opening time remains when a predetermined number of game balls have been won (specified winning number, maximum two).

  FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the special winning opening opening pattern determination table T9. The special winning opening opening pattern determination table T9 indicates that the game control microcomputer 81 determines the first special winning opening 30 and the second special winning opening 30 in the main control main process (described later) according to the special figure stop symbol (special figure stop symbol data). It is a table referred to for determining the opening pattern of the winning opening 35. In FIG. 15A, the special figure stop symbol data is “11H”, “12H”, “13H”, “15H”, “16H”, “21H”, “22H”, “23H”, “31H”, “31H”. In the case of “32H” or “33H”, the opening pattern of the first special winning opening 30 and the second special winning opening 35 is determined to be “opening pattern 21”, and the special figure stop symbol data is “14H” or “ 17H ", the open pattern is determined to be" open pattern 22 ", and when the special figure stop symbol data is" 24H "," 25H "," 34H "," 35H "," 36H ", or" 37H ". , The open pattern is determined to be “open pattern 23”. FIG. 15B shows the contents of each of the open patterns 21 to 23. In the opening pattern 21, after the opening (OP) for 6 seconds, the opening of the first special winning opening 30 with the opening time of 19.5R and the opening time of 29.5 seconds is performed at the 1st to 15th R (long opening). In the opening pattern 22, after the opening (OP) for 4 seconds, the first winning opening 35 is opened once in the first R and the opening time is 1.6 seconds in the 1R, and the opening number is opened in the second to sixth Rs. Once, the first big winning opening 30 with an opening time of 29.5 seconds is opened (long opening). At the 7th to 16th R, the first big winning opening 30 with one opening time and an opening time of 0.1 second is opened. Open (short open). In the opening pattern 23, after the opening (OP) for 0.01 second, the opening number once, the opening time is 1.6 seconds, and the second special winning opening 35 is opened for 1.6 seconds at the 1R, and at the 2nd to 16th R, The opening of the first special winning opening 30 (long opening) is performed once with an opening time of 29.5 seconds. However, the opening of the first special winning opening 30 and the second special winning opening 35 is performed when a predetermined number of game balls are won (specified winning number, maximum 9), even if the opening time remains. Will be closed.

4. Description of Jackpots and the like In the gaming machine 1, there are "big hits", "small hits", and "losing" as a result of a special symbol lottery (small jackpot lottery). In the case of "big hit", "big hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 41. In the case of "small hit", "small hit" is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 41. In the case of "losing", the "losing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 41. When the big hit is won, a "big hit game (second special game)" for opening the first big winning opening 30 is executed in an opening pattern according to the type of the special symbol stopped and displayed (the type of big hit). When the small hit is won, the second large winning opening 35 is opened once in an opening pattern according to the type of the special symbol stopped and displayed (the type of the small hit) "Small hit game (first special game)" Is executed. Then, when the game ball enters the V region 39 inside the second big winning opening 35 during the execution of the small winning game, the first big winning opening 30 is opened in an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the winning small winning. The “big hit game (second special game)” to be released is executed. In addition, the jackpot game executed based on the result of the special symbol lottery being a jackpot winning is also referred to as “one kind jackpot game”. The big hit game executed based on the passing of the game ball to the V region 39 is also referred to as “two kinds of big hit games”. The big hit game and the small hit game are also referred to as “special games”. This special game may include a round for opening the special winning opening a plurality of times during one round.

  The jackpot game includes a plurality of round games (unit opening game) for opening the first winning port 30, an opening (OP) before the first round game is started, and after the last round game is completed. Ending (ED). Each round game is started by the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and is ended by the start of the next round game. The closing time (interval time) of the first special winning opening 30 between round games is included in the open round game before the closing. The small hit game is a small hit opening game that opens the second big winning opening 35, an opening (interval before opening) before the small hit opening game starts, and an ending (closing) after the small hit opening game ends. After interval).

  There are several types of jackpots. Here, "15R time-saving short hits A-E", "15R time-saving short hits 15 times big hits A and B", and "15R time-saving short times five times big hits A-D" are set as the big hit types. Each of these jackpots is a jackpot for controlling the gaming state to a “time-saving state and high base state” described later, after executing a jackpot game (a type of jackpot game) for opening the first winning port 30 for 15R. . On the other hand, these hits differ in the number of times that the “time saving state and high base state” after the jackpot game ends. Here, the "number of time savings" is the number of times of the variable display (variable display) of the special symbol that can be executed in the "time saving state and high base state" after the big hit game, and is set in advance for each big hit type. For example, in the case of "15R time savings 99 times big hits A to E", the number of time savings is 99 times, and in the case of "15R time savings 15 times big hits A and B", the number of time savings is 15 times. Note that the "time saving state and high base state" ends even if the number of time savings is not achieved, when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed.

  There are several types of small hits. Here, as the small hit types, "16R normal small hit A, B", "16R short time 5 small hits A, B", "16R short time 10 small hits", "16R short time 15 small hits", "16R short time" 99, small hits A, B "are set. In these small hits, a small hitting game is executed first, and when a game ball passes through the V region 39 (V passing), a big hitting game (two kinds of big hitting games) is executed. Therefore, in the small hit, the opening of the second big winning opening 35 as the small winning game corresponds to the 1R, and the big hit game that opens the first big winning opening 30 for 15R after that when the V passes is executed. It corresponds to the 2nd to 16th eyes. If there is no V passing in the small hit game, the big hit game is not executed. Here, "16R (substantially 5R) normal small hit" is a small hit in which V passage is substantially impossible. On the other hand, "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", and "16R time reduction 99 times small hit" are small hits that can pass through V. . Whether or not V passing is possible during the small hit game can be set based on the operation pattern of the V opening / closing member 71 and the opening pattern of the opening / closing member 37 of the second big winning device 36. Specifically, it is as follows.

  In each of the above-mentioned small hits, in the small hit game after the winning, the opening of the second big winning opening 35 for 1.6 seconds is performed once (FIG. 15). On the other hand, the opening time in the small hit game differs depending on the small hit type. Specifically, “16R normal small hit” (opening pattern 22) has an opening time of 4 seconds, “16R short 5 times small hit”, “16R short 10 times small hit”, and “16R short 15 times small” The “hit” and “small hit of 16R time reduction 99 times” (open pattern 23) have an opening time of 0.01 second. The reason why the opening time of the small hitting game is different depending on the small hitting type is that the opening timing of the second big winning opening 35 with respect to the V opening / closing member 71 which is moving by a certain operation from the start of the opening is changed. That's why. Here, when the small hitting game is started, the V opening / closing member 71 is opened for 4 seconds after opening for 0.01 seconds. The opening pattern 22 is that the V opening / closing member 71 is closed 0.01 seconds after the second big winning opening 35 is opened since the second winning opening 35 is opened 4 seconds after the small hitting game is started. become. Therefore, in the "16R normal small hit", V passing during the small hit game is substantially impossible. On the other hand, in the opening pattern 23, the second big winning opening 35 and the V opening / closing member 71 are simultaneously opened 0.01 seconds after the small hitting game is started, and both the opening are continued for 1.6 seconds. 2.4 seconds after the closing of the port 35, the V opening / closing member 71 is closed. Therefore, in "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", and "16R time reduction 99 times small hit", V passing during the small hit game becomes possible. ing.

  "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit" and "16R time reduction 99 times small hit" are the big hits when the big hit game is executed after the small hit game The game state after the game is controlled to a “time saving state and high base state” described later. "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit" and "16R time reduction 99 times small hit" indicate the number of times of reduction in the "time reduction state and high base state" respectively. different. For example, in the case of "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", the number of time reductions is 10 times, and in the case of "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", the number of time reductions is 15 times. On the other hand, the “16R normal small hit” is a hit in which, when the big hit game is executed, the gaming state is controlled to a “non-time saving state and low base state” described later after the big hit game. However, since the "16R normal small hit" is a small hit in which V passing is substantially impossible, the big hit game is rarely executed.

  In addition, the small hits in the special drawing 1 lottery in the non-time saving state are all "16R normal small hits" in which V passing is substantially impossible. On the other hand, the distribution rate of the small hits in the special drawing 2 lottery in the time reduction state is 50% for "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", 25% for "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", and "16R time reduction 15 times small hit". "Is 12.5% and" 16R short hits 99 times small hit "is 12.5%, and" 16R normal small hits "is not included. Since the winning probability of the jackpot does not change between the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery, the probability of winning either the “big hit” or the “small hit where the big hit game (two kinds of big hit games) is executed” is: The special figure 2 lottery in the time reduction state is higher than the special figure 1 lottery in the non-hour reduction state. As described above, in the gaming machine 1, the game machine 1 hits right in the time reduction state and plays the game ball in the second startup port 21, compared to the state in which the game ball is left-turned in the non-time saving state and the game ball is awarded in the first starting port 20. Is set to be more advantageous for the player.

  In the gaming machine 1, there are "hit" and "losing" as a result of the ordinary symbol lottery (hit lottery). In the case of "hit", the "hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 42. At the time of "losing", the "losing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display 42. When a winning is won, a "winning game (normal game)" as an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 22 is executed in an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the normally displayed stopped symbol (type of winning). In this win game (normal game), the electric chew may be opened a plurality of times during one round. The winning game (normal game) includes one round game (unit open game), an opening (OP) before the round game is started, and an ending (ED) after the round game is finished. . There are multiple types of hits. Here, “long open 1”, “long open 2”, “short open 1”, and “short open 2” are set as the hit types. These hits are different from each other in the fluctuation time, the opening time, the opening time, and the ending time.

5. Description of gaming state The gaming control microcomputer 81 of the gaming machine 1 can execute “variation time reduction control” for each of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display 41 and the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display 42. It is. Here, the state in which the game control microcomputer 81 controls the special symbol of the special symbol display 41 to reduce the variation time is referred to as a “time reduction state”, and the state in which the variation time reduction control is not performed is simply referred to as a “non-time reduction state”. " In the time reduction state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the time of derivation display of the display result) is shorter than in the non-time reduction state. The game control microcomputer 81 sets a special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 (FIG. 12) that is set such that a variation pattern having a shorter variation time is more frequently selected in the time reduction state than in the non-time reduction state. Is used to determine a fluctuation pattern. That is, when the game control microcomputer 81 is executing the fluctuation time reduction control on the special symbol of the special symbol display 41, the special symbol is more variable than when the fluctuation time reduction control is not executed. A short fluctuation time is easily selected as the fluctuation time of the display. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure reservation is accelerated, and an effective prize (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reservation) to the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot with a smooth progress of the game.

  The game control microcomputer 81 executes the variation time reduction control for the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display 42 in synchronization with the variation time reduction control for the special symbol on the special symbol display 41. That is, the game control microcomputer 81 executes the variation time reduction control for the ordinary symbol in the time reduction state, and does not execute the control in the non-time reduction state. In the time reduction state, the fluctuation time of the symbol is usually shorter than in the non-time reduction state. The game control microcomputer 81 sets the normal symbol variation pattern determination table T7 (FIG. 13) so that the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is more frequently selected in the time reduction state than in the non-time reduction state. Is used to determine a fluctuation pattern. In other words, when the game control microcomputer 81 executes the variable time reduction control on the ordinary symbol of the ordinary symbol display 42, the variable of the ordinary symbol is more variable than when the variation time reduction control is not executed. A short fluctuation time is easily selected as the fluctuation time of the display.

  Furthermore, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 22 in the auxiliary game tends to be longer than in the non-time saving state (FIG. 13). Even in the non-time saving state, when the "Long Open 1" is won in the ordinary symbol lottery, the open pattern of the electric chew is "Open Pattern 11", which is a long open time of 5 seconds. The probability of being assigned to "open 1" is as low as 31/65536, and in most cases, the open time is 0.02 seconds even if the winner is won. On the other hand, in the time-saving state, the opening time of the electric chew is always 3 seconds in case of winning, and therefore, in the time-saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 22 in the auxiliary game is substantially longer than in the non-time-saving state. It can be said that it is easy to become. That is, in the time saving state, it can be said that the game control microcomputer 81 is executing the opening time extension control on the electric chew 22. Under the situation where the game control microcomputer 81 is performing the fluctuation time shortening control for the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display 42 and the opening time extension control for the electric chew 22, there are cases where these controls are not executed. In comparison, the electric chew 22 is frequently opened, and the game ball frequently wins the second starting port 21. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of award balls to the number of launch balls, increases. Therefore, a state in which these controls are being executed is called a “high base state”, and a state in which these controls are not being executed is called a “low base state”. In the high base state, a big hit can be aimed at without greatly reducing the number of game balls on hand. Note that the high base state does not have to execute all the above-described controls. That is, by executing one or more of the control of the fluctuation time for the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 42 and the control of the extension of the opening time for the electric chew 22, the control of the electric chew 22 is performed more than when the control is not executed. Should be easy to open. Further, the high base state may be controlled independently without accompanying the time saving state.

  In the gaming machine 1, "15R time reduction 99 times big hit A-E", "15R time reduction 15 times big hit A, D", "15R time reduction 5 times big hit A-D", "16R time reduction 99 times small hit", "16R time reduction" The game state after the jackpot game that has been won by winning the “15 small hits”, “16R short hits 10 times” or “16R short hits 5 times” is a “time-saving state and high base state”. . In the “time saving state and high base state”, a predetermined number of times (5 times, 10 times, 15 times, or 99 times) of the variable display (variable display) of the special symbol is executed, or the special symbol is won. The game ends when the jackpot game is executed. The gaming state after the jackpot game executed by winning the “16R normal small hit” is the “non-time saving state and low base state”. This gaming state is also referred to as a “normal gaming state”. When the gaming machine 1 is played for the first time, the gaming state after the power is turned on is the normal gaming state. Here, the “time reduction state and high base state” is also simply referred to as “time reduction state”, and the “non-time reduction state and low base state” is simply referred to as “non-time reduction state”.

  In the high base state (time saving state), it is advantageous to make the game ball enter the right game area 3 </ b> B (FIG. 1) by right-handing to advance the game. The electric chew 22 is more easily opened than in the low base state (non-time saving state), and winning in the second starting port 21 is easier than winning in the first starting port 20. is there. For this reason, in the high base state, while the game ball is passed to the first gate 28, which is usually a trigger of the symbol lottery, a right strike is performed so as to win the game ball to the second starting port 21. As a result, a larger number of start winnings (winning to the starting opening) can be obtained than when the player hits left. Note that the gaming machine 1 performs a right-handed game even during the jackpot game. On the other hand, in the low base state, it is possible to advance the game advantageously by making the game ball enter the left game area 3A (FIG. 1) by left-handing. This is because the electric chew 22 is less likely to be opened than in the high base state, and winning in the first starting port 20 is easier than winning in the second starting port 21. For this reason, in the low base state, the game ball is left-handed so that the game ball is passed to the first starting port 20 while the game ball is passed to the second gate 29, which is usually a trigger of symbol lottery. As a result, a larger number of start winnings can be obtained than when the player hits right. On the other hand, even in the low base state (non-time saving state), if the "long open 1" is won by passing the game ball to the second gate 29, the electric chew 22 is opened for 5 seconds. 2. Right-handing is performed so that a game ball can be awarded to the starting port 21. After the closing of the electric chew 22, the player left-hands again.

6. Operation of the Game Control Microcomputer 81 The operation of the game control microcomputer 81 provided on the main control board 80 (FIG. 4) will be described with reference to FIGS. Counters, flags, statuses, buffers, and the like appearing in the description of the operation of the game control microcomputer 81 are provided in the main RAM 84. As will be described below, the game control microcomputer 81 reads out the program stored in the main ROM 83, so that it can be used as a hit / fail determination unit, a symbol control unit, a hit game execution unit, a game state control unit, and a hit type selection unit. Functions (for example, see FIGS. 22, 27 to 29, 31, and 32).

[Main control main processing]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the main control main process. When the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on, the game control microcomputer 81 reads a program for executing a main control main process from the main ROM 83. In the main control main process, the game control microcomputer 81 first performs an initial setting (step S001). In the initial setting, for example, setting of the main CPU 82, resetting of various flags, statuses, counters, and the like are performed. The initial value of the flag is “0”, that is, “OFF”, the initial value of the status is “1”, and the initial value of the counter is “0”. Note that the initial setting is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

  After the initial setting, the game control microcomputer 81 prohibits the interruption of the interruption process (step S002), and performs a normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (step S003). In the ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process, the game control microcomputer 81 uses the various random number counter values shown in FIG. The fluctuation pattern random number value, the random number value per normal symbol, and the random number value per normal symbol type) are added and updated. When each random number counter value reaches the set upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. Note that the initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. In addition, each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  After the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process, the game control microcomputer 81 permits the interruption of the interruption process (step S004). While the interruption is permitted, the execution of the main-side timer interruption processing (step S005) becomes possible. The main-side timer interrupt process is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the main CPU 82 at a predetermined cycle (for example, a cycle of 4 msec). That is, the main-side timer interrupt processing is executed at predetermined intervals (for example, at intervals of 4 msec). Then, from the end of the main-side timer interrupt processing to the next start of the main-side timer interrupt processing, the update processing of various counter values by the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing is repeatedly executed. . When an interrupt pulse is input to the main CPU 82 in the interrupt disabled state, the main-side timer interrupt processing is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled.

[Main timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the main-side timer interrupt processing (FIG. 16: step S005). In the main timer interrupt process, the game control microcomputer 81 first performs a random number update process (step S101). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 updates the various random number counter values shown in FIG. This random number update process is the same as the ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed in the main control main process (FIG. 16) described above. That is, the update processing of the various random number counter values is performed during the execution period of the main timer interrupt process and during the other period (the period from the end of the main timer interrupt process to the start of the next main timer interrupt process). And both.

  After the random number updating process, the game control microcomputer 81 performs an input process (step S102). In the input processing, the game control microcomputer 81 reads detection signals detected by various sensors attached to the gaming machine 1 and outputs payout data for paying out prize balls according to the types of winning ports to the main RAM 84. Set in buffer. The various sensors are, for example, a first starting opening sensor 20a, a second starting opening sensor 21a, a first winning opening sensor 30a, a second winning opening sensor 35a, and a normal winning opening sensor 27a (FIG. 4).

  After the input process, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a starting port sensor detection process (step S103), a normal operation process (step S104), a special operation process (step S105), a V opening / closing member control process (step S106), a V region The sensor detection processing (step S107) is sequentially executed. Details of these processes will be described later. After the V-region sensor detection process, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a reserved ball count process (step S108). Here, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out the special figure 1 reserved ball number, the special figure 2 reserved ball number, and the ordinary symbol reserved ball number stored in the main RAM 84. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 sets a pending ball number command in a command set area (output buffer) 84a of the main RAM 84. The reserved ball number command is a command for notifying the sub control board 90 of the reserved ball number, and includes information on the special figure 1 reserved ball number, the special figure 2 reserved ball number, and the normal symbol reserved ball number. . After setting the pending ball number command, the game control microcomputer 81 ends the process.

  After the processing of the number of retained balls, the game control microcomputer 81 performs an output process (step S109). In the output processing, the game control microcomputer 81 outputs the command and the like set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 in the above-described processing to the sub-control board 90. After the output process, the game control microcomputer 81 performs other processes (step S110). In the other processing, for example, the second special figure reservation display 43b is controlled to a display mode indicating the number based on the number of special figure 2 reserved balls described later, and the first special figure is displayed based on the number of special figure 1 reserved balls. The hold display 43a is controlled to a display mode indicating the number.

[Starting port sensor detection processing]
FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the starting port sensor detection processing (FIG. 17: step S103). First, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not a game ball has passed through the first gate 28 or the second gate 29 (step S201). This determination is made based on whether a game ball is detected by the first gate sensor 28a or the second gate sensor 29a. If the game ball has not passed through either the first gate 28 or the second gate 29 (step S201: NO), the process skips to step S205. When the game ball has passed through one of the first gate 28 and the second gate 29 (step S201: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the number of normally reserved balls is "1 (upper limit)". Is determined (step S202). The number of ordinary symbol holding balls is the number of ordinary symbol holdings, and more specifically, a value of a counter provided in the main RAM 84 for counting the number of ordinary symbol holdings. If the number of ordinary symbol reserved balls is “1” (step S202: YES), the process skips to step S205. When the number of ordinary symbol reserved balls is "0" (step S202: NO), "1" is added to the number of ordinary symbol reserved balls (step S203), and then an ordinary symbol random number acquisition process is performed (step S204). Here, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the value of the ordinary symbol per random number counter (FIG. 8: the value of label-TRND-H) and the value of the ordinary symbol per type counter (FIG. 8: the value of label-TRND-HS). ) Is acquired, and the acquired random number group is stored in the first storage area of the general-purpose reserved storage area 86 of the main RAM 84.

  In step S205, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not a game ball has won the second starting port 21. This determination is made based on whether or not the game ball is detected by the second starting port sensor 21a. If a game ball has not been won in the second starting port 21 (step S205: NO), the process skips to step S210. When the game ball is won (step S205: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the number of reserved special figure 2 balls is "1 (upper limit)" (step S206). The number of special figure 2 reserved balls is the number of second special figure reserved, and more specifically, a value of a counter provided in the main RAM 84 that counts the number of second special figure reserved. If the special figure 2 reserved ball count is “1” (step S206: YES), the process skips to step S210. If the special figure 2 reserved ball count is “0” (step S206: NO), after adding “1” to the special figure 2 reserved ball count (step S207), a special figure 2 related random number acquisition process is performed (step S208). ). Here, the value of the random number counter per special symbol (FIG. 8: the value of label-TRND-A), the value of the random number counter per type of special symbol (FIG. 8: the value of label-TRND-AS), and the value of the reach random number counter ( FIG. 8: The value of the label-TRND-RC) and the value of the fluctuation pattern random number counter (FIG. 8: the value of the label-TRND-T1) are acquired. The game control microcomputer 81 stores the acquired random number value group in the first storage area of the second special figure reserved storage area 85b. The game control microcomputer 81 temporarily stores the acquired random number value group in a buffer (prior determination buffer) different from the second special figure holding storage area 85b for the special figure 2 preliminary determination processing described later (the preliminary figure buffer). Hold). After the special figure 2 related random number acquisition processing, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special figure 2 preliminary determination processing (step S209). In the special figure 2 pre-judgment process, the game control microcomputer 81 performs the big hit pre-judgment with reference to the big hit judgment table T1. Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first obtains a jackpot random number value as a determination value temporarily stored in the advance determination buffer by a special figure 2 related random number obtaining process. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 makes a preliminary determination as to whether or not a big hit has occurred using the big hit determination table T1 to be referred to and the big hit random number value. When the result of the jackpot pre-judgment is “big hit”, the game control microcomputer 81 performs the jackpot type pre-judgment. In the jackpot type preliminary determination, the game control microcomputer 81 first obtains a jackpot type random number value as a determination value temporarily stored in the advance determination buffer by a special figure 2 related random number obtaining process. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a prior determination of the jackpot type based on the obtained jackpot type random number value and the jackpot type determination table T5. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a fluctuation pattern advance determination. Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first obtains the fluctuation pattern random number value and the reach random number value as the determination values temporarily stored in the preliminary determination buffer by the special figure 2 related random number obtaining process. I do. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 creates a preliminary determination command. The pre-judgment command includes a jackpot pre-judgment result, a jackpot type pre-judgment result in the case of a jackpot, and a fluctuation pattern pre-judgment result. The game control microcomputer 81 sets the created pre-judgment command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84, and ends this processing.

  In step S210, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not a game ball has won the first starting port 20. This determination is made based on whether or not a game ball has been detected by the first starting port sensor 20a. If no game ball has been won at the first starting port 20 (step S210: NO), the present process is terminated. When a game ball has won the first starting port 20 (step S210: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the number of reserved special figure 1 balls is "4 (upper limit)" (step S210). Step S211). The number of special figure 1 reserved balls is the number of first special figure reservations, and more specifically, is the value of a counter provided in the main RAM 84 that counts the number of first special figure reservations. If the number of reserved special figure 1 balls is “4” (step S211: YES), this processing is ended. When the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is equal to or less than "3" (step S211: NO), "1" is added to the number of special figure 1 reserved balls (step S212), and then a special figure 1 related random number acquisition process is performed (step S212). S213). Here, similarly to the above-described special figure 2 related random number acquisition processing (step S208), the value of the special symbol per special symbol, the value of the special symbol per type random number, the value of the reach random number counter, and the value of the fluctuation pattern random number counter are changed. get. The game control microcomputer 81 stores the acquired random number group in a storage area corresponding to the current number of special figure 1 reserved balls among the first to fourth storage areas of the first special figure reserved storage area 85a. The game control microcomputer 81 temporarily stores (holds) the obtained random number group in a buffer (prior determination buffer) different from the first special figure holding storage area 85a for the special figure 1 preliminary determination processing. Let it. After the special figure 1 related random number acquisition processing, the game control microcomputer 81 performs the special figure 1 preliminary determination processing (step S214). The special figure 1 preliminary determination processing is similar to the above-described special figure 2 preliminary determination processing.

[Normal operation processing]
FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the normal operation process (FIG. 17: step S104). The game control microcomputer 81 first determines whether or not the electric chew 22 is operating (step S501). If the electric chew 22 is operating (step S501: YES), the process proceeds to step S540. When the electric chew 22 is not operating (step S501: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the stop display of the normal symbol is performed (whether the fluctuation stop time has elapsed) (step S502). If the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (step S502: YES), the process proceeds to step S531. When the normal symbol is not being stopped and displayed (step S502: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the normal symbol is changing (step S503). If the normal symbol is changing (step S503: YES), the process proceeds to step S521. When the normal symbol is not fluctuating (step S503: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is “0” (step S504). When the number of reserved balls is “0” (step S504: YES), the present process is terminated. If the number of retained balls is not "0" (step S504: NO), the number of ordinary symbol reserved balls is decremented by one (step S505). Therefore, when the game ball passes through the first gate 28 or the second gate 29 in a state where the number of reserved balls of the ordinary symbol is “0”, the ordinary symbol is once determined in step S203 of the start-up sensor detection processing (FIG. 18). The number of reserved balls of "1" becomes "1", and then the reserve is exhausted in step S505, and the number of reserved balls of the ordinary symbol immediately becomes "0". This is the same for the number of reserved balls of the special symbol. That is, in steps S207 and S212 of the start-up opening sensor detection process (FIG. 18), the number of reserved special symbols temporarily becomes “1”, and thereafter, in steps S1404 and S1404 in the special symbol standby process (FIG. 21) described later. In S1410, the reservation is exhausted, and the number of reserved balls of the special symbol becomes “0”. In addition, the decrement of the number of ordinary symbol reserved balls (digestion of regular figure reserved) is executed together with a clearing process for clearing the reserved information (various random numbers) stored in the first storage area of the regular figure reserved storage area 86. You.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 81 makes a hit determination with reference to the normal symbol hit determination table T5 (FIG. 13A) (step S506). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 firstly sets a random number value per symbol as a determination value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first one of the general figure holding) of the general figure holding storage area 86. Read out. Then, it is determined whether or not it is a hit using the normal symbol hit random number value, the game state (whether or not the time saving state) and the normal symbol hit determination table T5. For example, in the non-time saving state, when the random number value per normal symbol is “0” to “254”, it is determined to be “hit”, and when the random number value per normal symbol is other than “255”, “losing” is performed. (FIG. 13A).

  Next, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the type of the normal symbol (normal symbol stop symbol) with reference to the normal symbol hit type determination table T6 (FIG. 13B) (step S507). Specifically, when the game control microcomputer 81 has won in the hit determination in the above (step S506), first, the normal symbol hitting stored in the first storage area of the ordinary figure holding storage area 86 is performed. Reads the type random value. Then, the hit type and the normal symbol (normal symbol stop symbol) are determined by using the normal symbol hit type random number value, the game state (whether or not of the time saving state), and the normal symbol hit type determination table T6. For example, in the non-time saving state, when the random number value of the type per normal symbol is “0” to “30”, the hit type is determined as “long open 1”, and the normal symbol is determined as “hit symbol 1”. . When the random number value of the normal symbol type is “100” to “170”, the hit type is determined to be “short open 1”, and the normal symbol is determined to be “hit symbol 2”. If the random number value for the normal symbol type is any other value, the hit type is determined to be "short open 2", and the normal symbol is determined to be "hit symbol 3" (FIG. 13B). On the other hand, in the case of "losing" in the above-mentioned hit determination, "losing symbol" is set as a normal symbol.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 81 selects a variation pattern with reference to the ordinary symbol variation pattern determination table T7 (FIG. 13C) (step S508). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 selects a normal symbol variation pattern using the gaming state (whether or not a time saving state), a hit determination result, a hit type, and a normal symbol variation pattern determination table T7. I do. For example, in the non-time saving state, when the hit type is “long open 1”, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is determined to be “30 seconds”. Further, for example, in the time saving state, when the hit determination is “losing”, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is determined to be “1 second” (FIG. 13C). The game control microcomputer 81 sets a normal symbol change start command in the command set area (output buffer) 84a of the main RAM 84 in order to notify the sub-control board 90 of the change start and the change time of the normal symbol (step S509). The normal symbol variation start command includes information on the normally stopped symbol data and information on the ordinary symbol variation pattern. After that, the game control microcomputer 81 starts the variable display of the normal symbol and ends the present process (step S510).

  In step S521, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the normal symbol change time has elapsed and the game has ended. The fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is the fluctuation time selected in step S508 (FIG. 13C). If the fluctuation time has not ended (step S521: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this processing. That is, the variable display of the normal symbol is continued. On the other hand, when the fluctuation time has ended (step S521: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 displays the fluctuation display of the normal symbol (the normal symbol stop symbol or the lost general symbol) specified in step S507. (The stop symbol) (step S522). The game control microcomputer 81 sets a normal symbol change stop command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 to notify the sub control board 90 of the normal symbol change stop (step S523). Thereafter, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the stop time of the normal symbol and ends the present process (step S524). Here, the stop time of the normal symbol is 0.5 second.

  In step S531, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the fluctuation stop time of the normal symbol has elapsed. If the stop time has not elapsed (step S531: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends the process. That is, the normal symbol stop display is continued. On the other hand, when the stop time has elapsed (step S531: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 executes this processing when the hit determination in the above (step S506) is “losing” (step S532: NO). Finish. On the other hand, if the hit determination is "hit" (step S532: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 sends the normal symbol opening to notify the sub control board 90 of the start of the hit game (normal game) opening. The command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 (step S533). Further, the game control microcomputer 81 sets a power chute opening pattern (step S534). The opening pattern of the electric chew 22 is selected with reference to the electric chew opening pattern determination table T8 (FIG. 14A). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 opens the electric chew 22 using the type of the ordinary symbol (ordinary symbol stop symbol data) determined in the above (step S507) and the electric chew opening pattern determination table T8. Select a pattern. Here, for example, when the normal symbol is “hit symbol 1”, “open pattern 11” is selected, and when the normal symbol is “hit symbol 4”, “open pattern 14” is selected (see FIG. 14). . After the selection of the opening pattern, the game control microcomputer 81 starts the operation of the electric tuner in accordance with the selected opening pattern (step S535), and ends the processing.

  If the electric chew 22 is operating in the above-described step S501 (step S501: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the closing condition of the electric chew 22 is satisfied (step S540). The closing condition here is that the winning number of the electric chew 22 has reached a predetermined maximum winning number (for example, two) or that the electric chew 22 is closed after the opening time of the electric chew 22 has elapsed. Either of the things that have come is fulfilled. The opening time of the electric chew 22 is an opening time corresponding to the opening pattern selected in step S534 (see FIG. 14). When the closing condition of the electric chew 22 is not satisfied (step S540: NO), the present process ends. On the other hand, when the closing condition of the electric chew 22 is satisfied (step S540: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 hits the sub-control board 90 to notify the start of the ending of the game (normal game), so that the normal symbol ending is performed. The command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 (step S541). Also, the game control microcomputer 81 closes (closes) the electric chew 22 to stop its operation (step S542), and ends this processing.

[Special operation processing]
FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the special operation process (FIG. 17: step S105). Here, the processing relating to the special symbol display 41 and the special winning device (the first special winning device 31 and the second special winning device 36) is divided into five stages. Called "2", "3", "4", "5". When the “special operation status” is “1” (step S1301: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special symbol standby process (step S1302). In the special symbol standby process, a special symbol hit determination, a special symbol variation pattern selection, and the like are executed. When the "special operation status" is "2" (step S1301: NO, step S1303: YES), a special symbol changing process is performed (step S1304). In the special symbol change processing, a change stop command is output after the change time elapses. When the "special operation status" is "3" (steps S1301, S1303: NO, step S1305: YES), a special symbol determination process is performed (step S1306). In the special symbol determination process, an opening command is output at the time of a big hit or a small hit. When the “special operation status” is “4” (steps S1301, S1303, S1305: NO, step S1307: YES), special electric auditors processing 1 (big hit game) is performed (step S1308). In the special electric accessory processing 1, a jackpot game (a second-class special game) is executed. When the "special operation status" is "5" (steps S1301, S1303, S1305, step S1307: NO), special electric auditors processing 2 (small hitting game) is performed (step S1309). In the special electric accessory processing 2, a small hit game (a first-class special game) is executed. Details of each of the above processes will be described later. Note that the special operation status is “1” in the initial setting.

[Special symbol standby processing]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the special symbol standby process (FIG. 20: step S1302). In the special symbol standby process, the game control microcomputer 81 first determines whether or not the number of reserved balls in the second starting port 21 (special figure 2 reserved) is “0” (step S1401). When the number of reserved special figure 2 balls is “0” (step S1401: YES), that is, in the second special figure reserved storage area 85b, the random number value group acquired due to the winning in the second starting port 21 is stored. If there is no storage, the process moves to step S1407. When the special figure 2 reserved ball count is “1” or more (step S1401: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines the special symbol hitting process (step S1402) and the special symbol variation pattern selection process (step S1403). Execute Details of these processes will be described later. After the special symbol variation pattern selection processing, the special figure 2 reserved ball count is decremented by one (step S1404). Next, the game control microcomputer 81 clears the reservation information (various random numbers) stored in the first storage area of the second special figure reservation storage area 85b (step S1405). By the above steps, on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the reserved image 9B corresponding to the first storage area of the second special figure reserved storage area 85b is shifted to the reserved digest image display area side and displayed as the reserved digest image 9C. Is done. Thereby, the player can recognize that one second special figure reservation has been consumed. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special figure 2 change start process (step S1406). In the special figure 2 change start process, a change start command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 to start the change display of the second special symbol, and the special operation status is set to "2". The change start command (special figure 2 change start command) set in the special figure 2 change start processing includes information on the special figure stop design data set in the special design hit determination processing (step S1402) and the special design change. Information on the variation pattern set in the pattern selection processing (step S1403) is included.

  If the number of reserved balls in special figure 2 is “0” in step S1401 (step S1401: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines that the number of reserved balls in the first starting port 20 (reserved in special figure 1) is “0”. It is determined whether or not there is (step S1407). When the number of reserved special figure 1 balls is "0" (step S1407: YES), that is, in the first special figure reserved storage area 85a, the random number group acquired due to the winning at the first starting port 20 is stored. If there is no storage, the process moves to step S1413. When the number of reserved special figure 1 balls is “1” or more (step S1407: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines the special symbol hitting process (step S1408) and the special symbol variation pattern selection process (step S1409). Execute Details of these processes will be described later. After the special variation pattern selection processing, the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is decremented by one (step S1410). Next, the game control microcomputer 81 moves the storage location of the hold information (various random numbers) stored in the first to fourth storage areas of the first special figure hold storage area 85a to the side where the storage location is read from the current position. While shifting by one, the hold information stored in the farthest place from the read side in the first special figure hold storage area 85a is cleared (step S1411). For example, when the hold information is stored in the first to third storage areas, the hold information stored in the third storage area is cleared, and the hold information is stored in the first to fourth storage areas. If there is, the hold information stored in the fourth storage area is cleared. By the above steps, the first special drawing reservation is digested in the order of reservation. In this case, on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the reserved image 9A (the rightmost reserved image 9A among the four reserved images 9A) corresponding to the first storage area of the first special figure reserved storage area 85a is displayed. The image is shifted to the reserved digestion image display area side and displayed as the reserved digestion image 9C. When the second to fourth storage areas of the first special figure storage area 85a include the hold information, the hold image 9B corresponding to the second to fourth storage areas (of the four hold images 9A, , The second, third, and fourth reserved images 9A) shift by one to the right. Thereby, the player can recognize that one first special figure reservation has been consumed. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special figure 1 change start process (step S1412). In the special figure 1 change start process, the change start command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 to start the change display of the first special symbol, and the special operation status is set to "2" (step S1406). The change start command (special figure 1 change start command) set in the special figure 1 change start processing includes information on the special figure stop design data set in the special design hit determination processing (step S1408) and the special design change. Information on the fluctuation pattern set in the pattern selection processing (step S1409) is included.

  When the special figure 1 reserved ball number is “0” in step S1407 (step S1407: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is a standby screen (step S1407). S1413). The standby screen is a demo screen for waiting for customers. The game control microcomputer 81 may make the determination based on, for example, ON / OFF of a demonstration screen display flag for waiting for customers. If the screen is a standby screen (step S1413: YES), this processing ends. If it is not the standby screen (step S1413: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 sets a customer standby standby command for displaying a standby scene in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 after a predetermined standby time has elapsed. (Step S1414), this process ends. As described above, according to the special symbol standby process of the present embodiment, the special symbol change display based on the first special symbol reservation is executed only when the second special symbol reservation is “0”. In other words, the second special figure reservation is consumed prior to the first special figure reservation.

[Special symbol hit judgment process]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the special symbol hit determination process (FIG. 21: steps S1402 and S1408). Since the flow of the hit determination process in Tokuju 2 (step S1402) and the hit determination process in Tokuju 1 (step S1408) are the same, they will be described together. In the special symbol hit determination process, first, the game control microcomputer 81 makes a hit determination with reference to the special symbol hit determination table T1 (FIG. 9A) (step S1502). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out a random number value per special symbol as a determination value. For example, in the hit determination process of the special figure 2, the random number value per special symbol stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first special figure holding first storage area) of the second special figure holding storage area 85b is read. In the hit determination process of the special figure 1, the random number value per special symbol stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first special figure holding first storage area) of the first special figure holding storage area 85a is read. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 uses the special symbol hit determination table T1 to be referred to and the read special symbol hit random value to determine whether or not a big hit and a small hit. In this way, the game control microcomputer 81 functions as “winning / failing determining means”.

  When the result of the special symbol hit determination is "big hit" (step S1503: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 turns on the big hit flag (step S1505) and determines the big hit type (step S1507). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads a special symbol type random number value as a determination value. For example, in the hit determination process for special figure 2, the special symbol type random number value stored in the first storage area of the second special figure holding storage area 85b is read. In the hit determination processing of the special figure 1, the special symbol hit type random number value stored in the first storage area of the first special figure holding storage area 85a is read. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the big hit type based on the read special symbol type random number and the special symbol type determination table T3 (FIGS. 10 and 11). Thus, the game control microcomputer 81 functions as “hit type selection means”. After the determination of the jackpot type, the special symbol stop symbol data (the jackpot symbol) corresponding to the specified jackpot type is set in the hit type buffer provided in the main RAM 84 (step S1509), and the process ends.

  On the other hand, when the result of the special symbol hit determination is not “big hit” (step S1503: NO), but is “small hit” (step S1510: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 sets the small hit flag to ON and (Step S1512), the small hit type is determined (step S1514). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out a special symbol-per-type random number value as a determination value, similarly to the determination of the jackpot type. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the small hit type based on the read special symbol hit type random value and the special symbol hit type determination table T3 (FIGS. 10 and 11). After the determination of the small hit type, the special symbol stop symbol data (small hit symbol) corresponding to the specified small hit type is set in the hit type buffer provided in the main RAM 84 (step S1516), and the process ends.

  If the result of the special symbol hit determination is not "big hit" or "small hit" but "losing" (steps S1503 and S1510: NO), special figure stop symbol data (01H) corresponding to the missing symbol is provided in the main RAM 84. This is set in the jackpot type buffer (step S1518), and this process ends.

[Special symbol variation pattern selection process]
FIGS. 23 and 24 are flowcharts of the special symbol variation pattern selection process (FIG. 21: steps S1403 and S1409). Since the flow of the variation pattern selection process (step S1403) of the special figure 2 and the variation pattern selection process (step S1409) of the special figure 1 are the same, they will be described together. In the variation pattern selection processing, first, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the gaming state is the time saving state (step S1600). The determination as to whether or not the employee is in the time reduction state is made based on whether or not the time reduction flag is ON. If it is in the time saving state (step S1600: YES), the process proceeds to step S1612. When it is not the time saving state (step S1600: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the big hit flag is ON (step S1602).

  If the big hit flag is ON (step S1602: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 refers to the non-time saving state big hit table in the special symbol change pattern determination table T4 (FIG. 12) to select a change pattern. This is performed (step S1603). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out a variation pattern random number value as a determination value. For example, in the variation pattern selection process of the special figure 2, the variation pattern random number value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first special figure reservation first storage area) of the second special figure reservation storage area 85b is read. In the variation pattern selection process of Toku-zu, the variation pattern random number value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first toku-zu of special toku-zu) is stored in the first toku-zu pending storage area 85a. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 selects a variation pattern using the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 and the variation pattern random number value. Here, as the table for the non-time-saving state large hit, a portion corresponding to the non-time-saving state big hit in the special symbol fluctuation pattern determination table T4 shown in FIG. 12 (in the special figure 1, the fluctuation pattern is "P1", "P2" (In FIG. 2, the variation pattern is "P14" in FIG. 2) is referenced (address is set). From the read variation pattern random value, either “P1” or “P2” is selected as the variation pattern in Toku-zu, and “P14” is selected in Toku-zu 2 regardless of the variation pattern random value.

  If the big hit flag is OFF in step S1602 (step S1602: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether the small hit flag is ON (step S1604). When the small hit flag is ON (step S1604: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 refers to the non-time saving state small hit table in the special symbol change pattern determination table T4 (FIG. 12). A selection is made (step S1605). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out a variation pattern random number value as a determination value, as in step S1603. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 selects a variation pattern using the portion corresponding to the small hit in the non-time saving state and the variation pattern random number value in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4. Here, in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4, the portion corresponding to the small hit in the non-time saving state is the portion where the variation pattern is “P3” in Toku-zu 1 and the portion where the variation pattern is “P15” in Toku-zu 2. Therefore, these are selected regardless of the random value of the variation pattern.

  If the small hit flag is OFF in step S1604 (step S1604: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether the reach random number is a reach established random value (step S1606). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads a reach random number value as a determination value. In the variation pattern selection process of the special figure 2, the reach random number value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first special figure reservation first storage area) of the second special figure reservation storage area 85b is read. In the variation pattern selection processing of Toku-zu, the reach random number value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first toku-zu figure holding) of the first toku-zu reservation storage area 85a is read. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the presence or absence of the reach using the reach determination table T2 (FIG. 9B) and the reach random number. Here, since it is in the non-time saving state, of the reach determination table T2, the reach is determined based on the table for the non-time saving state (part where the reach determination value (reach establishment random number value) is "0" to "13"). Determine the presence or absence.

  If the reach random number is a reach-achieved random number (step S1606: YES), that is, if a reach is lost, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the reach in the non-time saving state in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4. The change pattern is selected with reference to the table for the loss (step S1607). Here, as a table for reach loss in the non-time saving state, a portion corresponding to the reach loss in the non-time saving state in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 shown in FIG. 12 (in the special figure 1, the variation pattern is "P4 And "P5", and in FIG. 2, the variation pattern is "P14". In the special figure 1, one of “P4” and “P5” is selected as the variation pattern from the read variation pattern random value. In the special figure 2, “P14” is selected as the fluctuation pattern regardless of the read fluctuation pattern random number value.

  If the reach random number is not a reach-achieved random number (step S1606: NO), that is, if there is no reach, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 to the non-time-saving reach. A variation pattern is selected with reference to the table for no loss (step S1608). Here, as a table for the non-reduction time non-reachable loss, the portion corresponding to the non-reduction time non-reachable loss in the special symbol fluctuation pattern determination table T4 shown in FIG. 12 (the fluctuation pattern is “P6 And "P7", and in FIG. 2, the variation pattern is "P15". In Toku-zu 1, one of “P6” and “P7” is selected as the variation pattern from the read variation pattern random number value and the current Toku-zu 1 retention ball count (1 to 4). In the special figure 2, “P15” is selected as the fluctuation pattern regardless of the read fluctuation pattern random number. In the special figure 1, since the variation pattern selected according to the number of reserved balls changes, the function of the shortened variation according to the number of reserved balls works. That is, in the special map 1, when the number of reserved balls is "3" to "4", more variation patterns having a shorter variation time are selected than when the number of reserved balls is "1" to "2". Is to be done. Thus, when the number of reserved balls is large, the digestion speed of the special figure reservation can be increased.

  If it is determined in step S1600 that the gaming state is the time saving state, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether the big hit flag is ON (FIG. 24: step S1612). Hereinafter, the processing in steps S1613 to S1618 is the same as the processing in steps S1603 to S1608 described above except for the following points, and a description thereof will not be repeated. The difference between the processing in steps S1613 to S1618 and the processing in steps S1603 to S1608 is that the part of the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 referred to in steps S1613, S1615, S1617, and S1618 is described in steps S1603, S1605, and S1607. , S1608. Specifically, in steps S1603, S1605, S1607, and S1608, the table for the non-time saving state of the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 is referred to, whereas in steps S1613, S1615, S1617, and S1618, The table for the time saving state is referred to. For example, in the case of step S1615, in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4, the portion corresponding to the small hit in the time saving state (the portion whose variation pattern is “P9” in Tokujin 1 and the variation pattern “P17” in Tokujin 2). Part) is referred to. For example, in the case of step S1617, in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4, a portion corresponding to the loss with the reach in the time saving state (the portion where the variation pattern is “P10” in the special figure 1, the variation pattern is "P18") is referred to.

  After the selection of the variation pattern as described above, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the selected variation pattern (step S1630) and ends the processing. The information on the set fluctuation pattern is included in the fluctuation start command and transmitted to the sub-control board 90 in the output process (FIG. 17: step S109). Thereby, the variable display of the special symbol is started.

[Processing during special symbol change]
FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the special symbol changing process (FIG. 20: step S1304). First, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the game has ended after the special symbol change time has elapsed (step S1701). The special symbol fluctuation time is a fluctuation time determined according to the fluctuation pattern selected in the above-described special symbol fluctuation pattern selection processing (FIGS. 23 and 24) (see FIG. 12). If the fluctuation time has not ended (step S1701: NO), this processing ends. That is, the variable display of the special symbol started in step S1406 or S1412 of the special symbol standby process (FIG. 21) is continued. On the other hand, if the fluctuation time has ended (step S1701: YES), the fluctuation stop command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 (step S1702), and the special operation status is set to “3” (step S1703). . Also, the game control microcomputer 81 performs other processing associated with the fluctuation stop (step S1704). For example, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a process of stopping the special symbol display on the special symbol display 41 at a symbol corresponding to the set special symbol stop symbol data (special symbol stop display). Thus, the game control microcomputer 81 functions as "symbol control means". The special symbol stop display time can be set arbitrarily according to the lottery result of the special figure 1 or the lottery result of the special figure 2. Thereafter, the game control microcomputer 81 ends this processing.

[Special design confirmation process]
FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the special symbol determination process (FIG. 20: step S1306). First, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the special symbol stop time has elapsed (step S1800). If the stop time has not elapsed (step S1800: NO), this processing ends. On the other hand, when the stop time has elapsed (step S1800: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 performs a game state management process (step S1801). The game state management process is a process for switching the game state in accordance with the number of times the special symbol has been changed during the time saving state, and will be described later. After the gaming state management processing, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (step S1802).

  If the big hit flag is ON (step S1802: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 sets a big winning opening opening pattern according to the type of the big hit that has been won (step S1803). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 refers to the special winning opening pattern determination table T9 (FIG. 15), determines the opening pattern of the special winning opening from the special figure stop symbol data, and determines the determined opening pattern. set. Here, regardless of which jackpot type (special figure stop symbol data is any of 11H to 13H, 15H, 16H, 21H to 23H, and 31H to 33H), "open pattern 21" Is set. The value of the round counter is set to the number of rounds according to the type of the winning jackpot, together with the setting of the opening pattern of the special winning opening. The round counter counts the number of unit open games (round games) executed during the jackpot game. Here, "15" is set in the round counter for any of the jackpot types (FIG. 15B).

  After the opening pattern is set, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the time saving flag is ON (step S1804). If the time saving flag is ON (step S1804: YES), it is turned OFF (step S1805). As a result, during the execution of the type 1 jackpot game, a non-time saving state is set. After that, in order to start the type 1 jackpot game, an opening command of the type 1 jackpot game is set (step S1806), and the opening of the jackpot game is started (step S1807). After that, the special operation status is set to "4" (step S1808), and this processing ends. When the special operation status is set to “4”, the processing shifts to special electric auditors processing 1 (big hit game).

  If the big hit flag is OFF in step S1802 (step S1802: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether the small hit flag is ON (step S1810). When the small hit flag is ON (step S1810: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 sets a winning pattern opening pattern according to the type of the winning small hit (step S1811). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the opening pattern of the special winning opening from the special figure stop symbol data with reference to the special winning opening pattern determination table T9 in the same manner as in step S1803 described above. Set the release pattern. Here, for example, when the small hit type is “16R normal small hit A” (the special figure stop symbol data is “14H”), “open pattern 22” is set as the open pattern of the winning opening. Further, for example, when the small hit type is “16R short time 5 times small hit A” (special figure stop symbol data is “24H”), “open pattern 23” is set as the open pattern of the winning opening. The value of the round counter is set to the number of rounds according to the type of the winning small hit, together with the setting of the opening pattern of the special winning opening. Here, “16” is set in the round counter for any of the small hit types (FIG. 15B).

  After setting the opening pattern, the game control microcomputer 81 switches the V opening / closing member operation flag to ON (step S1812). The V opening / closing member operation flag is a flag indicating a period during which the V opening / closing member 71 is operated. In the V opening / closing member control process (FIG. 33), when the V opening / closing member operation flag is ON, the V opening / closing member 71 is operated in a predetermined operation pattern. Here, in any small hitting game, the V opening / closing member 71 operates so as to be closed as an opening for 0.01 second after the small hitting game, then opened for 4 seconds, and then closed. Note that when the small hit flag is ON, unlike the case where the big hit flag is ON, the time saving flag is not switched to OFF even if it is ON. Thereafter, in order to start the small hit game, a small hit opening command is set (step S1813), and the opening of the small hit game is started (step S1814). After that, the special operation status is set to "5" (step S1815), and this processing ends. When the special operation status is set to “5”, the processing shifts to special electric auditors processing 2 (small hitting game).

  If the small hit flag is OFF in step S1810 (step S1810: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 sets the special operation status to “1” (step S1820), and ends this processing. As a result, neither the big hit game nor the small hit game is started, and the process returns to the special symbol standby process (FIG. 20: step S1302) to execute a special symbol hit determination for the next hold.

[Gaming state management processing]
FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the game state management process (FIG. 26: step S1801). The game control microcomputer 81 first determines whether or not the time reduction flag is ON. If the time saving flag is OFF (step S2005: NO), that is, if the time saving flag is in the non-time saving state, the process skips to step S2040. When the time saving flag is ON (step S2005: YES), that is, when the time saving state is set, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the variation is a variation of the second special symbol (step S2010). If the fluctuation is a fluctuation of the second special symbol (step S2010: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 decrements each value of the first time reduction counter C1 and the second time reduction counter C2 by 1 (step S2010). S2015). The "first time reduction counter C1" counts the number of times the second special symbol has been changed during the time reduction state. The "second time reduction counter C2" counts the number of times the special symbol has been changed during the time reduction state (total of the number of times the first special symbol has changed and the number of times the second special symbol has changed). The initial value set in each of the first time-saving counter C1 and the second time-saving counter C2 is determined based on the setting table in FIG. 30 in a later-described game state setting process (FIG. 29). On the other hand, when the change is the change of the first special symbol (step S2010: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 decrements only the value of the second time reduction counter C2 by 1 (step S2020).

  The game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not at least one of the respective values of the first time-saving counter C1 and the second time-saving counter C2 has become “0” as a result of step S2015 or step S2020 (step S2015). S2030). If the values of both the first time-saving counter C1 and the second time-saving counter C2 are not “0” (step S2030: NO), the process skips to step S2040. When the value of at least one of the first time-saving counter C1 and the second time-saving counter C2 is “0” (step S2030: YES), the time-saving flag is turned off (step S2035). Thereby, the gaming state is switched from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. That is, when the number of times of the change of the special symbol executed in the time saving state reaches the number shown in FIG. 30, the gaming state is switched to the non-time saving state.

  In step S2040, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the game state designation command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84, and ends this processing. The game state designation command includes information on the current game state that has just been set (whether or not the state is a time reduction state, the respective values of the first time reduction counter and the second time reduction counter, etc.).

[Special electric accessory processing 1 (big hit game)]
FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the special electric accessory processing 1 (FIG. 20: step S1308). First, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the big hit end flag is ON (step S2200). The “big hit end flag” is a flag indicating that the opening of the first big winning device 31 based on the opening pattern has been completed in the currently running big hit game. If the big hit end flag is ON (step S2200: YES), the process proceeds to step S2230. When the big hit end flag is OFF (step S2200: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the first big winning opening 30 is open (step S2202). If it is being opened (step S2202: YES), the process proceeds to step S2210.

  When the first special winning opening 30 is not being opened (step S2202: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether it is time (timing) to open the first special winning opening 30 (step S2203). . The time (timing) for opening the first special winning opening 30 is, for example, when the opening time of the jackpot game has elapsed and the time of opening start in the first round game has been reached, or it has been temporarily closed after opening. This includes the time when the interval time (closing time) until the first big winning opening 30 is reopened elapses and the timing of starting the opening again is reached. If it is not the time (timing) for opening the first special winning opening 30 (step S2203: NO), the process proceeds to step S2220.

  If it is time (timing) to open the first special winning opening 30 (step S2203: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special winning opening opening process (step S2207). Here, the game control microcomputer 81 opens the first special winning opening 30 in accordance with an opening pattern (FIG. 15B) according to the hit type (big hit type or small hit type). When the one-type jackpot game is being executed, the first large winning opening 30 is opened according to the opening pattern 21 regardless of the type of the jackpot. When the two kinds of big hit games are being executed, the first big winning opening 30 is opened according to the opening pattern 22 or the opening pattern 23 according to the small hit type. After the winning opening process, the game control microcomputer 81 sets a round designation command (step S2208). The round designation command includes information on the number of rounds of the special game (small hit game and big hit game) being executed, and the game control microcomputer 81 sets the round designation command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84. I do. Thus, the number of rounds of the special game can be notified to the sub control board 90. In the present embodiment, the first large winning opening 30 is not opened a plurality of times during one round game. However, as another embodiment, when the first big winning opening 30 is opened a plurality of times during one round game, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the opening of the first big winning opening 30 to one. It is also possible to determine whether or not it is the first release during one round, and to set the round designation command only for the first release. After setting the round designation command, the process ends.

  In the above-mentioned step S2202, when the first special winning opening 30 is open (step S2202: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the closing condition of the first special winning opening 30 is satisfied. (Step S2210). The closing condition here is that the number of winnings in the first big winning opening 30 in the round game has reached a prescribed maximum winning number (for example, 9 pieces per round), or the first big winning opening 30 is Either one of the times when the closing time is reached (that is, a predetermined opening time (for example, 29.5 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the first special winning opening 30) is satisfied. Then, when the closing condition of the first special winning opening 30 is not satisfied (step S2210: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this processing. On the other hand, when the closing condition of the first special winning opening 30 is satisfied (step S2210: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 closes (closes) the first special winning opening 30 (step S2211). Finish the process.

  If it is not the time (timing) to open the first special winning opening 30 in step S2203, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the round game is over (step S2220). Here, one round ends after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) since the first special winning opening 30 was closed. As described above, the closing time (interval time) of the first special winning opening 30 during the round game is included in the open round game before the closing. The game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the round game has ended based on whether or not a predetermined interval time has elapsed since the closing of the first special winning opening 30. If the round game has not ended (step S2220: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this processing.

  When the round game is over (step S2220: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 decrements the value of the round counter by 1 (step S2221), and determines whether the value of the round counter has become “0”. Is determined (step S2226). If the value of the round counter is not "0" (step S2226: NO), that is, if the specified number of round games has not been exhausted yet, the process ends to start the next round game. On the other hand, if the value of the round counter is “0” (step S2226: YES), the jackpot game ending command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 as a jackpot termination process for terminating the jackpot game (step S2227). , Start the jackpot ending (step S2228). The ending command includes information on the special symbol stop symbol data set in the special symbol hit determination process (FIG. 21). After the start of the jackpot ending, the jackpot end flag is set to ON (step S2229), and this processing ends.

  In the above step S2200, when the big hit end flag is ON (step S2200: YES), since the last round has ended, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the time of the big hit ending has elapsed. (Step S2230). If the ending time has not elapsed (step S2230: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends the process. On the other hand, when the ending time has elapsed (step S2230: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 turns off the big hit end flag (step S2231), turns off the big hit flag (step S2322), and sets the special operation status. Is set to “1” (step S2233). Thereby, in the next special operation process, the special symbol standby process (FIG. 20: step S1302) is executed again. Thereafter, the game control microcomputer 81 executes a game state setting process (step S2234) described later, and ends the process. The game state setting process (FIG. 29) sets a game state (hour reduction state or non-hour reduction state) after the jackpot game, and in the case of the time reduction state, the first time reduction counter C1 and the second time reduction in accordance with the hit type. This is a process of setting an initial value (the number of time savings) to the counter C2.

[Game state setting process]
FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the game state setting process (FIG. 28: step S2234). The game control microcomputer 81 functions as “game state control means” by executing the above-described game state management processing (FIG. 27) and the game state setting processing. First, the gaming control microcomputer 81 determines that the jackpot game executed this time is a time saving hit (that is, “15R time saving 5 times big hit”, “15R time saving 15 times big hit”, “15R time shortening 99 times big hit”, “16R time saving 5 times big hit”. It is determined whether or not the game is a jackpot game that has been executed upon the occasion of “winning”, “10 hits of 16R time shortening 10 times”, “15 hits of 16R time savings” or “99 hits of 16R time savings” (step S2301). . If the time saving hit is not an opportunity (step S2301: NO), that is, if the current big hit game is being executed with a normal hit (ie, “16R normal small hit”), the process skips to step S2309. On the other hand, if the current big hit game is being executed with a time saving hit (step S2301: YES), the time saving flag is turned on (step S2302), and the game control microcomputer 81 sets the first time saving counter C1 and the second time saving time. The setting values shown in the setting table (FIG. 30) described later are set in the counter C2 (step S2303). As a result, the game state after the current big hit game is set to the “time saving state and high base state”. This "time saving state and high base state" is a condition that the variable display of the special symbol is performed a predetermined number of times or that the next big hit (one kind big hit or two kinds big hit) is won. The process ends when the condition is satisfied. In step S2309, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the game state designation command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84, and ends this processing. The game state designation command includes information relating to the game state that has just been set (whether or not it is a time reduction state, the respective values of the first time reduction counter C1 and the second time reduction counter C2, etc.).

  FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining a setting table of the first time-saving counter C1 and the second time-saving counter C2. This setting table is referred to by the game control microcomputer 81 in step S2303 of the above-described game state setting process (FIG. 29). In FIG. 30, for example, the case where the jackpot game executed this time is executed with “15R time short 99 times big hit” or “16R time short 99 times small hit” as an opportunity (the special figure stop symbol data is “11H”, “12H” , “15H”, “25H”, or “37H”), “99” is set in each of the first time-saving counter C1 and the second time-saving counter C2. Further, for example, when the jackpot game executed this time is executed with “16R time reduction 10 times small hit” as an opportunity (when the special figure stop symbol data is “35H”), “10” is displayed in the first time reduction counter C1. Is set, and “15” is set in the second time reduction counter C2.

[Special electric accessory processing 2 (small hit game)]
FIGS. 31 and 32 are flowcharts of the special electric accessory processing 2 (FIG. 20: step S1309). The microcomputer 81 for game control functions as a "winning game executing means" by executing the above-described special electric auditors processing 1 (big hit game: FIG. 28) and the special electric auditors processing 2 (small hitting game). I do. First, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the small hit end flag is ON (step S2400). The "small hit end flag" is a flag indicating that the opening of the second big winning device 36 based on the opening pattern has ended in the small hit game being executed. If the small hit end flag is ON (step S2400: YES), the process proceeds to step S2420. If the small hit end flag is OFF (step S2400: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the second special winning opening 35 is being opened (step S2402). If it is being opened (step S2402: YES), the process proceeds to step S2410.

  If the second special winning opening 35 is not being opened (step S2402: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether it is time (timing) to open the second special winning opening 35 (step S2404). . The time (timing) for opening the second special winning opening 35 is a time when the opening time of the small hit has elapsed and the opening start time has come. The opening time per small hit is 4 seconds in the case of the open pattern 22, and 0.01 second in the case of the open pattern 23. If it is not time (timing) to open the second special winning opening 35 (step S2404: NO), the present process is ended. If it is time (timing) to open the second special winning opening 35 (step S2404: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special winning opening opening process (step S2406). Here, the game control microcomputer 81 opens the second special winning opening 35 according to an opening pattern (FIG. 15B) corresponding to the small hit type. After the winning opening process, the game control microcomputer 81 sets a round designation command (step S2408). The round designation command includes information on the number of rounds of the special game being executed, and the game control microcomputer 81 sets the round designation command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84. Thus, the number of rounds of the special game can be notified to the sub control board 90. After setting the round designation command, the process ends.

  In the above-mentioned step S2402, when the second special winning opening 35 is open (step S2402: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the closing condition of the second special winning opening 35 is satisfied. This is performed (step S2410). The closing condition here is that the number of winnings in the second special winning opening 35 has reached a prescribed maximum winning number (for example, 10) or that the time for closing the second special winning opening 35 has been reached. (I.e., a predetermined opening time (for example, 1.5 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the second special winning opening 35). When the closing condition of the second special winning opening 35 is not satisfied (step S2410: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this processing. On the other hand, when the closing condition of the second special winning opening 35 is satisfied (step S2410: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special winning opening closing process to close (close) the second special winning opening 35. This is performed (step S2412). Here, at the same time, the ending command of the small hit game is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 as a small hit ending process for ending the small hit game. After the winning opening closing process, the game control microcomputer 81 decrements the value of the round counter by one (step S2414). This is because the small hitting game corresponds to the 1R. Thereafter, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the small hit end flag to ON (step S2416), and ends the process.

  If the small hit end flag is ON in step S2400 (step S2400: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not an interval time (ending time) after closing has elapsed (step S2420). ). If the ending time has not elapsed (step S2420: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this processing. On the other hand, when the ending time has elapsed (step S2420: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 switches the small hit end flag to OFF (step S2422) and switches the small hit flag to OFF (step S2424). After that, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the V flag is ON (step S2430). The “V flag” is a flag indicating that a game ball has passed to the V region 39 during execution of the small hitting game, and is a flag that is turned on in a V region sensor detection process (FIG. 34) described later. . When the V flag is OFF (step S2430: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 sets the round counter to "0" (step S3432) and does not set the special operation status to "1" because the two-type jackpot game is not executed. (Step S2434), and the process ends. Thereby, in the next special operation process, the special symbol standby process (FIG. 20: step S1302) is executed again.

  If the V flag is ON in the above step S2430 (step S2430: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 switches the V flag OFF (step S2436) and executes the big hit game in order to execute the two kinds of big hit games. Is turned on (step S2437), and the special operation status is set to "4" (step S2438). When the special operation status is set to “4”, the processing shifts to the special electric accessory processing 1 (big hit game) in the next special operation processing (FIG. 20). After setting the special operation status, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the time saving flag is ON (step S2440), and if it is ON (step S2440: YES), switches it off (step S2442). As a result, during the execution of the two types of jackpot games, the state becomes a non-time saving state. Thereafter, in order to start the jackpot game, the game control microcomputer 81 sets an opening command for the two types of jackpot games (step S2444) and starts the opening of the jackpot game (step S2446). Thereby, the game shifts from the small hit game in which the second big winning opening 35 is opened for a short time to the two kinds of big hit game.

[V opening / closing member control processing]
FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the V opening / closing member control process (FIG. 17: step S106). First, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the V opening / closing member operation flag is ON (step S2500). When the V opening / closing member operation flag is OFF (step S2500: NO), this processing ends. When the V opening / closing member operation flag is ON (step S2500: YES), a “V opening / closing member operation process” for operating the V opening / closing member 71 in a predetermined operation pattern is performed (step S2502), and a predetermined period (timing) is set. A “V valid period setting process” is performed in which the V passing of the game ball is regarded as valid (step S2504). When the V opening / closing member operation flag is ON, the opening of the small hitting game is started (FIG. 26: steps S1812, S1814), and the V opening / closing member operation process and the V valid period setting process are performed in accordance with the small hitting game. Will be done.

  In the V opening / closing member operation processing, a timer for measuring the operation time of the V opening / closing member 71 is set, and based on the timer, the V opening / closing member solenoid 73 is turned ON when the opening timing of the V opening / closing member 71 comes. When the closing timing of the V opening / closing member 71 comes, the V opening / closing member solenoid 73 is turned off. As a result, the V opening / closing member 71 moves by a constant operation from the start of the small hit game opening. Specifically, the V opening / closing member 71 is first controlled to a passage blocking state (closed state) for 0.01 second from the start of the small hitting game opening, and then controlled to a passage permitted state (open state) for 4 seconds. Thereafter, the state is controlled to the passage blocking state (closed state) for 6 seconds.

  In the V validity period setting process, the V validity period is set for the constant operation of the V opening / closing member 71 as described above. The “V valid period” is a period in which, when a game ball is detected by the V region sensor 39a, the detection is regarded as valid and the V flag is turned ON. The V validity period is a period from when the opening of the V region 39 is started (when the V opening / closing member 71 is controlled to be in the passage permitting state) until a predetermined time elapses. The predetermined time is set to a longer time (here, the opening time of the V region 39 + 1 second) than the opening time of the V region 39 (the time during which the V opening / closing member 71 is controlled to allow passage). This is because a time lag until the game ball that has passed the arrangement position of the V opening / closing member 71 reaches the V region 39 is considered. In the V validity period setting process, a timer for measuring the V validity period is set, and based on the timer, the V validity flag is turned ON when it is time to validate the V region 39, and the V region 39 is set to ON. The V-valid flag is turned off when it is time to invalidate it. In a V region sensor detection process (FIG. 34) described later, it is determined whether or not the vehicle is in the V valid period based on whether or not the V valid flag is ON.

  After the V opening / closing member operation process and the V validity period setting process, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the operation of the V opening / closing member 71 has been completed (step S2506). Specifically, based on the timer set in the V opening / closing member operation process (step S2502), the total operation time (0.01 seconds + 4 seconds + 6 seconds) from the start to the end of the constant operation of the V opening / closing member 71. ) Is determined. If the operation of the V opening / closing member 71 has not been completed (step S2506: NO), this processing ends. On the other hand, when the operation of the V opening / closing member 71 has been completed (step S2506: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 switches the V opening / closing member operation flag to OFF (step S2508), and ends this processing.

  Here, the relationship between the operation pattern of the V opening / closing member 71 and the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 35 (opening / closing member 32) in the small hit game will be described. As described above, the V opening / closing member 71 is closed for 0.01 second from the start of the small hit game opening, thereafter opened for 4 seconds, and then closed for 6 seconds. In the “16R normal small hit” (opening pattern 22), the second big winning opening 35 is closed for 4 seconds from the start of the small hit game opening, then opened for 1.6 seconds, and then 4.41. Closed for seconds. Therefore, in the opening pattern 22 of “16R normal small hit”, the V opening / closing member 71 is closed 0.01 second after the second big winning opening 35 is opened, and the V passing of the game ball during the small hitting game is performed. Is virtually impossible. On the other hand, in the case of “16R time reduction 5 times small hit”, “16R time reduction 10 times small hit”, “16R time reduction 15 times small hit”, and “16R time reduction 99 times small hit” (opening pattern 23), the second big winning opening 35 Is closed for 0.01 second from the start of the small hit game opening, then opened for 1.6 seconds, and then closed for 3 seconds. Therefore, in the opening pattern 23, the second big winning opening 35 and the V opening / closing member 71 are simultaneously opened 0.01 seconds after the small hitting game is started, and both the openings are continued for 1.6 seconds, and the second big winning is achieved. 2.4 seconds after the closing of the port 35, the V opening / closing member 71 is closed. Therefore, no matter what winning timing the gaming ball wins at the second big winning opening 35, the gaming ball can pass through the V region 39. Here, if the game ball is continuously shot with the right-handed hit, the second large winning opening 35 is set so that the gaming ball always wins during the opening period of the second large winning opening 35. Each device such as the special winning device 36 is arranged. Further, the time required for the game ball passing through the second special winning opening 35 to reach the position where the V opening / closing member 71 is arranged is configured to be shorter than 2 seconds. From this, in "16R short time 5 small hits", "16R short time 10 small hits", "16R short time 15 small hits", and "16R short time 99 small hits" If the game ball is continuously fired, the game ball always passes through V.

[V region sensor detection processing]
FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the V region sensor detection process (FIG. 17: step S107). First, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not a game ball has been detected by the V region sensor 39a (step S2601). If there is no detection of a game ball by the V region sensor 39a (step S2601: NO), the present process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is a detection (step S2601: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not it is during the V validity period (step S2602). The V effective period is a period set by the V effective period setting process (step S2504) of the V opening / closing member control process (FIG. 33). The V validity period is set to a few seconds after the V opening / closing member 71 opens or closes (ball brush period). Here, one second is set as the ball-stroke period. If it is not during the V validity period (step S2602: NO), this processing ends. On the other hand, if it is during the V validity period (step S2602: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 turns on the V flag (step S2603) and sets the V passing command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 (step S2603). Step S2604), this process ends. The “V passing command” is a command for notifying the sub control board 90 of V passing.

7. Operation of Effect Control Microcomputer 91 The operation of the effect control microcomputer 91 provided on the sub-control board 90 (FIG. 5) will be described with reference to FIGS. Counters, flags, statuses, buffers, and the like appearing in the operation description of the effect control microcomputer 91 are provided in the sub-RAM 94. As described below, the effect control microcomputer 91 functions as an effect executing means by reading out a program stored in the sub-ROM 93.

[Sub-control main processing]
FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the sub-control main processing. The effect control microcomputer 91 reads a program for executing the sub-control main process from the sub-ROM 93 when the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on. In the sub-control main process, the effect control microcomputer 91 first performs a CPU initialization process (step S4000). In the CPU initialization processing, for example, setting of the sub CPU 92, resetting of various flags, statuses, counters, and the like are performed. The initial value of the flag is “0”, that is, “OFF”, the initial value of the status is “1”, and the initial value of the counter is “0”. The CPU initialization process is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

  After the CPU initialization processing, the effect control microcomputer 91 prohibits the interruption of the interruption processing (step S4015) and performs the random number update processing (step S4020). In the random number update process, the effect control microcomputer 91 updates the various random number counter values shown in FIG. When each random number counter value reaches the set upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. Note that the initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. In addition, two or more random numbers may be added in addition to one by one. Each random number may be a so-called hardware random number.

  After the random number updating process, the effect control microcomputer 91 permits the interruption of the interruption process (step S4025). While the interruption is permitted, the sub-side timer interruption processing (step S4035) can be executed. The sub-side timer interrupt processing is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the sub CPU 92 at a predetermined cycle. That is, the sub-side timer interrupt processing is executed at predetermined intervals. Then, the random number updating process is repeatedly executed after the sub timer interrupt process is completed and before the next sub timer interrupt process is started.

[Sub timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the sub-side timer interrupt processing (FIG. 35: Step S4035). The effect control microcomputer 91 first performs a received command analysis process (step S4300). Details of the received command analysis processing (FIG. 37) will be described later. After the reception command analysis process, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs a switch process (step S4310). In the switch processing, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs setting of display contents of the display screen 7a based on switch data (edge data and level data) output based on a detection signal from the effect button detection switch 63a. . After the switch process, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs a command transmission process (step S4315). In the command transmission process, the effect control microcomputer 91 stores the various commands set in the effect command set area 94b (output buffer) of the sub-RAM 94 in the received command analysis process (FIG. 37) and the like on the image control board 100, the voice control board 106, This is transmitted to the lamp control board 107. The image control board 100 that has received the various commands uses the image display device 7 to execute a display effect according to the received commands. Further, the voice control board 106 that has received the various commands executes a voice effect of outputting voice from the speaker 67 according to the received commands. The lamp control board 107 receiving the various commands executes a lamp effect for controlling the light emission of the panel lamp 5 and the frame lamp 66 in accordance with the received commands. After the command transmission processing, effect control microcomputer 91 performs other processing (step S4320), and ends this processing. In other processes, for example, a random number update process is performed.

[Receive command analysis processing]
FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the received command analysis processing (FIG. 36: step 4300). The effect control microcomputer 91 first determines whether or not a pre-determination command has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4415). If it has been received (step S4415: YES), a prefetch effect determination process is performed (step S4420). "Pre-reading effect determination process" is a process of determining whether or not to execute a pre-reading effect, and determining a pre-reading effect pattern to be executed. In the look-ahead effect determination process, a look-ahead effect execution determination for determining whether to execute a look-ahead effect, and a look-ahead effect pattern selection are performed. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 obtains the value of the prefetch effect random number counter, and refers to the acquired random number value and the prefetch effect pattern determination table T55 stored in the sub ROM 93 to execute the prefetch effect. Whether or not to perform, and a look-ahead effect pattern for performing a look-ahead effect are determined. When it is determined that the prefetch effect is to be executed, the selected prefetch effect pattern is stored in the pre-determination information storage area 94c.

  On the other hand, when the advance determination command has not been received from the main control board 80 (step S4415: NO), the above-described prefetch effect determination processing is skipped. The look-ahead effect is an effect indicating that it is highly likely that the jackpot is included in the suspension information newly stored in the special figure suspension storage area 85, and is executed during the fluctuation effect.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not the pending ball count command has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4445). If it has been received (step S4445: YES), a hold display process is performed (step S4450). In the hold display process, the number is set in the counter set area 94d of the sub RAM 94 on the basis of information on the special figure 1 number of reserved balls, the special figure 2 number of reserved balls, and the normal symbol number of reserved balls included in the reserved number of balls command. The updated values of the first special figure reservation effect counter, the second special figure reservation effect counter, and the general figure reservation effect counter are updated. Thus, information on the number of reserved balls can be held not only on the main control board 80 side but also on the sub control board 90 side. In addition, the effect control microcomputer 91, based on the values of the first special figure reservation effect counter, the second special figure reservation effect counter, and the general figure reservation effect counter, the reserved image 9A displayed on the display screen 7a, 9B is updated. On the other hand, if the pending ball count command has not been received (step S4445: NO), the above-described pending display processing is skipped.

Subsequently, effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not a fluctuation start command has been received from main control board 80 (step S4455). If it has been received (step S4455: YES), a variable effect start process (FIG. 38) is performed (step S4460). The “variable effect start process” is a process of selecting a variable effect pattern (contents) to be executed during a special symbol change. Details of the variable effect start processing will be described later.
On the other hand, when it has not been received (step S4455: NO), the above-described variable effect start processing is skipped.

  Subsequently, effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not a fluctuation stop command has been received from main control board 80 (step S4465). If it has been received (step S4465: YES), a variable effect ending process (FIG. 39) is performed (step S4470). The “variable effect ending process” is a process for stopping the variable effect, and will be described later in detail. On the other hand, if it has not been received (step S4465: NO), the above-described variable effect ending process is skipped.

  Subsequently, effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not an opening command has been received from main control board 80 (step S4475). If it has been received (step S4475: YES), an opening effect pattern determination process is performed (step S4480). The “opening effect pattern determination process” is a process of selecting an opening effect pattern (contents) to be executed at the time of starting a special game (big hit game or small hit game). In the opening effect pattern determination process, the effect control microcomputer 91 first analyzes the opening command, and substitutes the information about the special figure stop symbol data included in the opening command set at the time of determining the winning of the big hit or the small hit. Set in the RAM 94. Then, an effect pattern of an opening effect set in advance corresponding to the hit type indicated by the special figure stop symbol data is selected, and an opening effect start command for starting the selected opening effect is stored in the effect command set area of the sub RAM 94. Set to 94b. When the opening effect start command set in the effect command set area 94b is transmitted to the image control board 100 in the command transmission process (FIG. 36: step 4315), the CPU 102 of the image control board 100 stores a predetermined opening effect image in the ROM 103. And display it on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 (for example, FIG. 45). If the opening command has not been received in step S4475 (step S4475: NO), the above-described opening effect pattern determination processing is skipped.

  Subsequently, effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not a round designation command has been received from main control board 80 (step S4485). If it has been received (step S4485: YES), round effect pattern determination processing is performed (step S4490). The “round effect pattern determination process” is a process of selecting an open game effect pattern (contents) to be executed during opening of a special winning opening or during an interval between opening in a special game (big hit game or small hit game). In the round effect pattern determination process, the effect control microcomputer 91 first analyzes the round designation command, and sets information on the special figure stop symbol data and information on the number of rounds included in the round designation command in the sub RAM 94. I do. Then, an effect pattern of a round effect set in advance corresponding to the hit type and the number of rounds indicated by the special figure stop symbol data is selected, and a round effect start command for starting the selected round effect is directed to the effect of the sub-RAM 94. It is set in the command set area 94b. When the round effect start command set in the effect command set area 94b is transmitted to the image control board 100, the CPU 102 reads a predetermined round effect image from the ROM 103 and displays it on the display screen 7a. If a round designation command has not been received in step S4485 (step S4485: NO), the above-described round effect pattern determination processing is skipped.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether an ending command of the jackpot game has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4495). If it has been received (step S4495: YES), ending effect pattern determination processing (FIG. 40) is performed (step S4500). The “ending effect pattern determination process” is a process of selecting an ending effect pattern (contents) to be executed during the ending of the jackpot game. The details of the ending effect pattern determination process will be described later. When the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the ending command of the small hit game from the main control board 80, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs a process different from the above ending effect pattern determination process. If the ending command of the jackpot game has not been received in step S4495 (step S4495: NO), the above-described ending effect pattern determination processing is skipped.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not a normal symbol change start command has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4505). If it has been received (step S4505: YES), normal symbol fluctuation effect start processing is performed (step S4510). The “normal symbol fluctuation effect start process” is a process of selecting a normal symbol fluctuation effect pattern (content) to be executed during the normal symbol fluctuation. In the ordinary symbol variation effect start processing, the effect control microcomputer 91 first sets information on the ordinary symbol stop symbol data included in the ordinary symbol variation start command and information on the ordinary symbol variation pattern (FIG. 13) in the sub RAM 94. I do. The set information includes game state information indicating a current game state, symbol information indicating a symbol as a determination result of the hit determination process of a general symbol, and the like. The game state information and the symbol information acquired here can be appropriately referred to by the effect control microcomputer 91. The effect control microcomputer 91 selects an ordinary symbol variation effect pattern set in advance corresponding to the ordinary symbol variation pattern, and sends a normal symbol variation effect start command for starting the selected ordinary symbol variation effect to the sub-RAM 94. It is set in the effect command set area 94b. When the normal symbol fluctuation effect start command set in the effect command set area 94b is transmitted to the image control board 100, the CPU 102 reads a predetermined normal symbol fluctuation effect image from the ROM 103 and displays it on the display screen 7a. Here, when the winning type is “long open 1” or “short open 1” in the non-time saving state, the effect control microcomputer 91 executes the “expected effect of V” (FIG. 44) described later. . If the normal symbol variation start command has not been received in step S4505 (step S4505: NO), the above-described ordinary symbol variation effect start process is skipped.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not a normal symbol change stop command has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4515). If it has been received (step S4515: YES), normal symbol variation effect ending processing is performed (step S4520). The “normal symbol variation effect ending process” is a process for stopping the ordinary symbol variation effect. In the normal symbol fluctuation effect ending process, the effect control microcomputer 91 analyzes the normal symbol fluctuation stop command and sets a normal symbol fluctuation effect end command for terminating the normal symbol fluctuation effect in the effect command set area 94b. . In addition, in step S4515, when the normal symbol variation stop command is not received (step S4515: NO), the above-described ordinary symbol variation effect ending process is skipped.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not an ordinary symbol opening command has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4525). If it has been received (step S4525: YES), a normal symbol opening effect pattern determination process is performed (step S4530). The “normal symbol opening effect pattern determination process” is a process of selecting a normal game effect pattern (contents) to be executed at the time of a hit game (normal game) accompanying the normal symbol winning. The normal game effects selected here include an opening effect performed during the opening and an open game effect performed during the opening of the electric chew 22. In the ordinary symbol opening effect pattern determination process, the effect control microcomputer 91 first analyzes the ordinary symbol opening command, and relates to the ordinary symbol stop symbol data included in the ordinary symbol opening command and set at the time of determining the winning of the ordinary symbol. The information is set in the sub RAM 94. Then, an effect pattern of an opening effect set in advance corresponding to the hit type indicated by the normal symbol stop symbol data is selected, and a normal symbol opening effect start command for starting the selected opening effect is sent to the effect command of the sub RAM 94. It is set in the set area 94b. When the ordinary symbol opening effect presentation start command set in the effect command set area 94b is transmitted to the image control board 100 in the command transmission process (FIG. 36: step 4315), the CPU 102 of the image control board 100 makes a predetermined opening effect image Is read from the ROM 103 and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. If the ordinary symbol opening command has not been received in step S4525 (step S4525: NO), the above-described ordinary symbol opening effect pattern determination processing is skipped.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not an ordinary symbol ending command has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4535). If it has been received (step S4535: YES), a normal symbol ending effect pattern determination process is performed (step S4540). The “normal symbol ending effect pattern determination process” is a process of selecting an ending effect pattern (contents) to be executed during the ending of a hit game (normal game) accompanying a normal symbol win. In the ordinary symbol ending effect pattern determination processing, the effect control microcomputer 91 first analyzes the ordinary symbol ending command, and sets information on the ordinary symbol stop symbol data included in the ordinary symbol ending command in the sub RAM 94. Then, an effect pattern of an ending effect set in advance corresponding to the hit type indicated by the normal symbol stop symbol data is selected, and a normal symbol ending effect start command for starting the selected ending effect is transmitted to the effect command of the sub RAM 94. It is set in the set area 94b. When the ordinary symbol ending effect start command set in the effect command set area 94b is transmitted to the image control board 100 in the command transmission process (FIG. 36: step 4315), the CPU 102 of the image control board 100 sets a predetermined ending effect image Is read from the ROM 103 and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. If the ordinary symbol ending command has not been received in step S4535 (step S4535: NO), the above-described ordinary symbol ending effect pattern determination processing is skipped.

  Subsequently, effect control microcomputer 91 performs other processing (step S4545). In other processes, for example, when the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the game state designation command, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives information on the game state included in the game state designation command (whether or not it is the time reduction state, the first time reduction counter and the second time reduction). The respective values of the counters) are stored in the sub RAM 94. Further, when the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the V-pass command, the effect-control microcomputer 91 causes the RAM 94 to store the information of the V-pass. The effect control microcomputer 91 performs a process based on a command other than the above (such as a customer waiting standby command, a preliminary determination command, a RAM clear notification command, and the like), and ends the process. The effect control microcomputer 91 functions as “effect effecting means” by executing the variable effect ending process (step S4470) and the opening effect pattern determination process (step S4480).

[Variation effect start processing]
FIG. 38 is a flowchart of the variable effect start process (FIG. 37: step S4460). The effect control microcomputer 91 first analyzes the fluctuation start command (step S5000). Here, the effect control microcomputer 91 sets information on the special figure stop symbol data included in the fluctuation start command and information on the fluctuation pattern in the sub RAM 94. The set information includes game state information indicating a current game state, symbol information indicating a symbol as a determination result of the hit determination process of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2, and the like. The game state information and symbol information acquired here can be appropriately referred to by the effect control microcomputer 91.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 refers to the mode status M (step S5005). “Mode status M” indicates the effect mode to be executed. The effect mode here is a mode of the effect on the image display device 7, and when the effect mode is different, the image (characters, items, background images, and the like appearing) displayed on the image display device 7 is different, and the effect is fluctuating. Is also executed in a mode corresponding to the effect mode. Here, “1” and “2” are set as the mode status M, “1” corresponds to the non-time saving state, and “2” corresponds to the time saving state. The effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether the mode status M is “1” or “2”.

  When the mode status M is "2" (step S5010: YES), that is, when the time saving state is set, the effect control microcomputer 91 refers to the time saving effect scenario (step S5025). The “time saving effect scenario” is a remaining number of time saving times displayed on the image display device 7 (hereinafter, “display time remaining number of times”) in a “countdown effect” (FIG. 47) described later, which is executed in a time saving state after the jackpot game. FIG. The time reduction effect scenario is determined in an ending effect pattern determination process (FIG. 40) described later. Here, the “number of remaining time savings” is the remaining number of times of the variable display of the second special symbol that can be executed in the time saving state after the big hit game, This is the remaining number of times until the number of time savings set according to the hit type is reached. The number of remaining time savings corresponds to the value of the first time saving counter C1 on the main control unit side. When the number of remaining time savings becomes “0”, the gaming state is switched from the time saving state to the non-time saving state (FIG. 27: steps S2030 and S2035). The gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment performs an effect of making the number of remaining display time savings displayed on the image display device 7 different from or matching the actual number of remaining time savings based on the time saving effect scenario. Specific modes will be described later. Here, the effect control microcomputer 91 specifies the number of remaining display time reductions to be displayed on the image display device 7 this time by referring to the time reduction effect scenario. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 specifies the number of remaining display time reductions to be displayed this time from the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 described later and the time reduction effect scenario. When the mode status M is “1” (step S5010: NO), that is, in the non-time saving state, the effect control microcomputer 91 skips the reference to the time saving effect scenario.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs a variable effect pattern determination process (step S5015). In the variable effect pattern determination process, the effect control microcomputer 91 first obtains a random value of the variable effect pattern for effect determination. Then, from the fluctuation effect pattern determination table T51 stored in the sub ROM 93, the mode status M, the fluctuation pattern indicated by the fluctuation start command, the fluctuation effect pattern random number value, the number of remaining display time reductions specified during the time reduction, the special effect flag Is set as a variation effect pattern corresponding to ON / OFF of the. The “special effect flag” is a flag indicating whether or not to execute a “one time effect of crying” (FIG. 48) described later, and is set in the flag set area of the sub RAM 94. When the special effect flag is ON, the effect control microcomputer 91 switches the special effect flag to OFF and executes “one time crying effect” as a variable effect. On the other hand, when the special effect flag is OFF and the change pattern indicated by the change start command is “P12” to “P15”, that is, when the change is the change of the second special symbol in the non-time saving state, the “V card” described later Shuffle production "(FIG. 44 (G)). When the mode status M is “2”, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs a “countdown effect” (FIG. 47) described later. The effect control microcomputer 91 performs this countdown effect, and thus functions as “number-of-times display effect execution means”.

  The effect control microcomputer 91 further refers to the content of the notice effect such as a so-called step-up notice effect or a chance-up notice effect based on the random value of the variable effect pattern, and further refers to the stop symbol pattern determination table T52 to stop. The combination of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R to be displayed is determined. From these, what kind of effect is performed as the variable effect is determined.

  The effect control microcomputer 91 sets the variable effect start command in the effect command set area 94b (output buffer) of the sub-RAM 94 so that the variable effect based on the variable effect pattern determined in step S5015 is realized (step S5020). ), End this processing. When the variable effect start command set in the effect command set area 94b of the sub RAM 94 is transmitted to the image control board 100 in the command transmission process (FIG. 36: step 4315), the CPU 102 of the image control board 100 sets a predetermined variable effect. The image is read from the ROM 103 and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7.

[Variation effect end processing]
FIG. 39 is a flowchart of the variable effect ending process (FIG. 37: step S4470). The effect control microcomputer 91 first analyzes the fluctuation stop command (step S5100) and refers to the mode status M (step S5105). If the mode status M is “1” (step S5110: YES), the process skips to step S5140. When the mode status M is “2” (step S5110: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the change is a change of the second special symbol (step S5115). The effect control microcomputer 91 can determine whether the variation is a variation of the first special symbol or a variation of the second special symbol from the information on the variation pattern set in the sub RAM 94. When the fluctuation is a fluctuation of the second special symbol (step S5115: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 decrements each value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 and the second time reduction effect counter JC2 by one. (Step S5120). The "first time reduction effect counter JC1" is for counting the number of times of the change of the second special symbol executed during the time reduction state on the sub control unit side, and the "first time reduction counter C1" on the main control unit side. Yes, it is. The “second time reduction effect counter JC2” is the number of times of the change of the special symbol (the total number of times of the change of the first special symbol and the number of changes of the second special symbol) executed during the time saving state on the sub control unit side. It counts and corresponds to the "second time reduction counter C2" on the main control unit side. The initial values set in the first time reduction effect counter JC1 and the second time reduction effect counter JC2 are determined by an ending effect pattern determination process (FIG. 40) described later. On the other hand, if the change is the change of the first special symbol (step S5115: NO), only the value of the second time reduction effect counter JC2 is decremented by 1 (step S5125).

  The game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not at least one of the values of the first and second time reduction effect counters JC1 and JC2 has become “0” as a result of step S5120 or step S5125. (Step S5130). If the values of both the first time reduction effect counter JC1 and the second time reduction effect counter JC2 are not “0” (step S5130: NO), the process skips to step S5140. When the value of at least one of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 and the second time reduction effect counter JC2 is “0” (step S5130: YES), the mode status M is switched to “1” (step S5135). When the mode status M is switched to “1”, the effect control microcomputer 91 also determines whether or not the special figure 2 is reserved. If the special figure 2 is reserved, the special effect flag is set. Switch to ON. Accordingly, when the special figure 2 is reserved when the time saving state is shifted to the non-time saving state, the "one-time crying effect" (FIG. 48) described later is executed as the first variable effect in the non-time saving state. . In step S5130, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether the game is in the time saving state or the non-time saving state based on the information on the game state held in the sub RAM 94. 1 ". The information on the game state held in the sub RAM 94 is updated when a game state designation command is received from the main control board 80. In step S5140, the effect control microcomputer 91 sets a variable effect end command for terminating the variable effect. As a result, the changing decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. After that, the process ends.

[Ending effect pattern determination process]
FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the ending effect pattern determination process (FIG. 37: step S4500). The effect control microcomputer 91 first analyzes the ending command (step S5500). The effect control microcomputer 91 sets information about the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command in the sub RAM 94. Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs a mode status setting process (step S5505). The “mode status setting process” is a process of determining an effect mode after the big hit game. In the mode status setting process, the effect control microcomputer 91 sets the mode status M using a mode status M setting table described below.

  FIG. 41 is a diagram for explaining the mode status setting table T53. The mode status setting table T53 is a table referred to for determining the mode status M according to the hit type (special figure stop symbol data). The effect control microcomputer 91 determines the mode status from the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command and the mode status setting table T53. For example, when determining the ending effect pattern of the two types of big hit game after winning the "16R normal small hit A", the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command is 14H, so that the mode status M is "1". Is selected. Also, for example, when determining the ending effect pattern of the one-type jackpot game after winning the “15R time-saving 99 times jackpot E”, the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command is 33H. “2” is selected.

  Returning to FIG. 40, when the mode status M set in step S5505 is “1” (step S5510: NO), the processing of the effect control microcomputer 91 skips to step S5525. On the other hand, when the set mode status M is "2" (step S5510: YES), the effect control microcomputer 91 hits the first time-saving effect counter JC1 and the second time-saving effect counter JC2, and the type (special figure stop symbol data). Are set respectively (step S5515). The set value set in the first time-saving effect counter JC1 is the same as the value set in the first time-saving counter C1 on the main control unit side. The set value set in the second time-saving effect counter JC2 is the same as the value set in the second time-saving counter C2 on the main control unit side. A setting table similar to the setting table of FIG. 30 is stored in the sub-ROM 93, and the effect control microcomputer 91 refers to the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command and this setting table to obtain the first time reduction. The set value to be set in the effect counter JC1 and the second time-saving effect counter JC2 can be specified. For example, when the special figure stop symbol data is “11H”, “99” is set in each of the first time-saving effect counter JC1 and the second time-saving effect counter JC2. Further, for example, when the special figure stop symbol data is “35H”, “10” is set to the first time reduction effect counter JC1 and “15” is set to the second time reduction effect counter JC2. After setting the set values in the time reduction effect counters JC1 and JC2, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs a time reduction effect scenario determination process (step S5520). The “time saving effect scenario determination processing” is performed in a “countdown effect” (FIG. 47), which will be described later in the time saving state after the jackpot game, in the remaining number of time savings to be displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 (the number of remaining display time savings) ) Is a process for determining the change scenario. In the time-saving effect scenario determination process, the effect control microcomputer 91 sets a time-saving effect scenario using a time-saving effect scenario determination table T54 described below.

  FIG. 42 is a diagram for explaining the time-saving effect scenario determination table T54. The time-saving effect scenario determination table T54 is a table that is referred to for determining a time-saving effect scenario according to a hit type (special figure stop symbol data) and a random number of the time-saving effect scenario. The effect control microcomputer 91 first obtains a random number value of a time-saving effect scenario. Then, the time reduction effect scenario is determined from the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command, the obtained random number value, and the time reduction effect scenario determination table T54. For example, in the case of the ending of two kinds of big hit games after winning in “16R time saving 99 times small hit A” (special figure stop symbol data 25H), if the obtained time saving effect scenario random number is “0 to 63”, If "scenario B" is selected as the time-saving effect scenario, and if the random value of the time-saving effect scenario is "64 to 95", "scenario C" is selected as the time-saving effect scenario, and the random number value of the time-saving effect scenario is "96 to 127". If so, “scenario D” is selected as the time reduction effect scenario. In addition, for example, in the case of the ending of a single-type jackpot game after winning the “15R time-saving five-time jackpot D” (special figure stop symbol data 31H), regardless of the acquired time-saving effect scenario random value, the time-saving effect scenario is used. “Scenario H” is selected.

  FIG. 43 is a diagram for explaining the specific contents of the time reduction effect scenario. In FIG. 43, in each of the time reduction effect scenarios (scenarios A to H), the time reduction displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is the "countdown effect" (FIG. 47) executed in the time reduction state after the jackpot game. The correspondence between the remaining number of times (remaining number of display time reductions) and the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 is shown. For example, in “scenario A”, the effect control microcomputer 91 causes the display screen 7a to display the same value as the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 as the number of remaining display time reductions. In "scenario B", when the value of the first time-saving effect counter JC1 is "99", "5" is displayed on the display screen 7a as the remaining number of display time reductions, and thereafter, the value of the first time-saving effect counter JC1 is "96". , The remaining number of display time reductions is reduced along with the decrease in the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1. That is, when the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 changes from “99” to “96”, the number of remaining display time reductions changes from “5” to “2”. Then, when the first time reduction effect counter JC1 is "95", the display time reduction number is set to "1", and a display indicating that the display time reduction number increases by 94, for example, "+94" is displayed. Then, until the first time-saving effect counter JC1 changes from “94” to “1”, the same value as the value of the first time-saving effect counter JC1 is displayed as the remaining number of times to be displayed. In “Scenario E”, when the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 is “15”, “5” is displayed on the display screen 7a as the remaining number of display time reductions, and thereafter, the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 is “12”. , The remaining number of display time reductions is reduced along with the decrease in the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1. That is, when the value of the first time reduction effect counter JC1 changes from “15” to “12”, the number of remaining display time reductions changes from “5” to “2”. Then, when the first time reduction effect counter JC1 is "11", the display time reduction number is set to "1", and a display indicating that the display time reduction number increases by 10, for example, "+10" is displayed. Then, until the first time-saving effect counter JC1 changes from “10” to “1”, the same value as the value of the first time-saving effect counter JC1 is displayed as the remaining number of times to be displayed. In this way, by making the display time reduction remaining count different from the actual time reduction remaining count, that is, the value of the first time reduction staging counter JC1, the player is expected that the display time reduction remaining count may increase on the way. be able to.

  Returning to FIG. 40, in step S5525, the effect control microcomputer 91 refers to the mode status M and determines an ending effect pattern (step S5530). A plurality of types of ending effect patterns are prepared, and the ending effect pattern is determined based on the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command. The effect control microcomputer 91 sets an ending effect start command in the output buffer of the sub-RAM 94 so that an ending effect based on the determined ending effect pattern is realized (step S5535), and ends this processing.

8. Example effect of this embodiment [Expectation effect of V (when a normal symbol is won in a non-time saving state)]
FIG. 44 is an explanatory diagram exemplifying an expected effect of V. This expected production of V is a non-time saving state, when the special figure 1 is fluctuating or stopped, a normal symbol is won, and the hit type is “long open 1” or “short open 1” (see FIG. 13). Is executed. The expected effect of V is an effect that indicates whether or not the electric chew 22 is opened long, and furthermore, when a game ball enters the electric chew 22, an effect that indicates the result of the hit / fail determination of the special figure 2. is there.

  The expected production of V is performed during the fluctuating production of the special figure 1 as shown in FIG. 44A by using the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 when the non-time-saving state is left-handed. During the reach state), the game ball is passed to the second gate 29, a normal symbol is won, and the hit type is selected as "long open 1" or "short open 1". That is, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the normal symbol variation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: Step S4505: YES), and includes the normal symbol variation effect start process (FIG. 37: Step S4510) in this command. The hit type is determined to be “long open 1” or “short open 1” from the information on the normally stopped symbol data, and the change pattern corresponding to the expected effect of V is selected to be executed. As an expected effect of V, first, as shown in FIG. 44 (B), the display area of the variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is reduced and displayed in the display area HR1, and the variable effect of the special figure 1 is not changed until then. The expected cut-in effect of V that displays the image GA1 indicating that the expected effect of V is started is executed using the region that has been performed. The display area HR1 is provided at one corner of the display screen 7a. In the effect of the display area HR1, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the fluctuation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the fluctuation start process (FIG. 37: step S4460), the fluctuation effect start command. This is executed by setting (FIG. 38: Step S5020).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (C), a V-level challenge effect is executed in which an image GA2 urging the player to press the effect button 63 and an image GA3 indicating an indicator capable of expressing a rise in points are displayed. . In this V level challenge effect, the player can raise the V level by pressing the effect button 63 to raise the point of the indicator of the image GA3. In this V-level challenge effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (C), a variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is shown following the display region HR1.

  When the hit type of the ordinary symbol is “short opening 1”, the short-time opening of the electric chew 22 for 0.02 seconds (FIG. 14), and then, as shown in FIG. By lowering the point, V indicates an image GA4 indicating that the V level has decreased and the V level has not reached a certain level or more, and an image GA5 indicating that the V level has decreased and indicates that a big hit cannot be expected this time. Perform a level down effect. In the V level down effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (D), a variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is shown subsequent to the display area HR1.

  On the other hand, if the hit type of the ordinary symbol is “long open 1”, then, as shown in FIG. Point GA is raised to indicate that the V level has risen and the V level has reached a certain level or more, and that the V level has risen and the next stage has proceeded to suggest that the jackpot can be expected. A V level up effect for displaying the image GA7 is executed. In the V-level up effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (E), a variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is shown subsequent to the display area HR1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (F), in order to shift to the next stage, an image GA8 for prompting the player to make a right strike to enter the game ball into the electric chew 22 is displayed on the right. Perform a suggestion effect. In the right-handling suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (F), the variable effect of the special figure 1 is shown following the display region HR1. This right-stroke suggestion effect is executed until the variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 displayed in the display area HR1 ends. The right pointing suggestion effect is executed based on the ordinary symbol opening command (FIG. 37: step S4525) received by the effect control microcomputer 91 from the main control board 80.

  If no ball has entered the electric chute 22, the above-described right-hit suggestion effect is performed, and then the above-described V level down effect shown in FIG. 44 (D) is executed. This V level down effect is executed based on the ordinary symbol ending command (FIG. 37: step S4535) received by the effect control microcomputer 91 from the main control board 80. On the other hand, when one or more balls are thrown into the electric chute 22, after the above-mentioned right-handling suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. A V-card shuffle effect of displaying an image GA9 for shuffling the oriented card is executed. In this case, in the display area HR2 provided at one corner of the display screen 7a, a variation state of the decorative symbol is shown. The V card shuffle effect and the effect of the display area HR2 are executed based on the change start command received from the main control board 80 by the effect control microcomputer 91 triggered by the winning in the second starting port 21.

  In the case where the result of the hit / fail determination of Toku-zu 2 is a big hit or a small hit, after the V card shuffle effect, as shown in FIG. One of the cards is selected and turned over, and a V-card selection effect of displaying an image GA10 indicating that the turned-up card is a V-card is executed. In the display area HR2, after the reach state using the decorative symbol is displayed, the symbol arrangement indicating the small hit or one type of big hit is stopped and displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (I), an expected success effect of V displaying an image GA11 indicating that the big hit game is executed and a right-turning suggestion image GA12 prompting right-handing is executed. This expected success production of V indicates that the expected production of V is successful and that the expectation of the jackpot (one or two kinds of jackpots) is high. In other words, the expectation that the jackpot game is executed is high. It is a production that suggests that. This expected success effect of V is started after a predetermined time (for example, 0.01 seconds) has elapsed after the symbol arrangement of the zigzag pattern is stopped and displayed in the display area HR2. That is, the timing (time) from when the small hit symbol is finally displayed on the special symbol display 41 to when the expected success effect of V is started, and when the big hit symbol is finally displayed, the expected successful effect of V is started. The timing (time) until the time is equal. Here, “equal” does not mean that they completely match, and there may be an error in the timing as long as the player feels equal. The error can be, for example, about ± 2 seconds. In the case of a small hit, a small hit game is executed after the expected success performance of the V, and when the player passes the V by right-handing, two kinds of big hits are made, and the game shifts to a big hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, when a small hit is made, the variable effect is stopped, and an effect indicating that a big hit (two types of big hits) game is to be executed despite not passing through V (FIG. 44). (I)) is started. Then, at the time of the small hit game, an effect indicating the small hit game or an effect indicating the V passing is not performed. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can be made to think that he / she has won one kind of big hit. In the present embodiment, the same effect (FIG. 44 (I)) is started in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit together with the stop of the variable effect. With this configuration, it is possible to make it more difficult to distinguish between the type 1 jackpot and the type 2 jackpot. In addition, even if the numbers of the zigzag lines stopped and displayed in the display area HR2 are different between the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit, these are naturally included in the same effect. Further, in the case of the big hit and the small hit, the expected success effect of V may be started before the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol is definitely displayed.

  On the other hand, in the case where the result of the hit / fail judgment in Toku-zu 2 is a loss, after the V-card shuffle effect, one of the three cards shuffled in the V-card shuffle effect as shown in FIG. A card is selected and turned over, and a lost card selection effect of displaying an image GA13 indicating that the flipped card is a lost card is executed. In the display area HR2, a reach state using a decorative symbol is shown.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (K), an expected failure effect of V displaying an image GA14 indicating that the expected effect of V is a failure and the game is lost without being a big hit or a small hit and a big hit game is not executed. Execute In this case, in the display area HR2, a symbol array indicating loss is shown using a decorative symbol. When the special figure 2 is suspended, the process shifts to the V card shuffle effect (see FIG. 44 (G)) again after the expected failure effect of V. If there is no suspension of the special figure 2, the effect shifts to the effect corresponding to the normal special figure 1.

  Note that the variation effect of the special figure 2 shown in FIGS. 44 (G), (H), and (I) is an example of the effect performed when the variation pattern “P13” (FIG. 12) is selected. The variation effect of the special figure 2 shown in FIGS. 44 (G), (J), and (K) is an example of the effect performed when the variation pattern “P14” (FIG. 12) is selected.

  Also, a V-level challenge effect (FIG. 44 (C)), a V-level down effect (FIG. 44 (D)), a V-level increase effect (FIG. 44 (E)), and a right-handed suggestion effect (FIG. 44 (F)) In FIG. 44A, the variable effect of the special figure 1 shown in FIG. 44A is shown in the display area HR1, but the variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is completed and the special figure 1 is suspended. In this case, the variable effect corresponding to the next special figure 1 is continuously displayed.

  Further, in the expected effect of V shown in FIG. 44, the display of the reserved images 9A and 9B and the reserved digested image 9C is omitted. Also, in the effects shown in FIGS. 45 to 48 and FIG. 50 described later, similarly, the display of the reserved images 9A and 9B and the reserved digested image 9C is omitted.

[Winning game production]
FIG. 45 is an explanatory view exemplifying a winning game effect when the special figure 2 lottery is won. This winning game effect is executed when a large hit or a small hit is made in the lottery of the special figure 2. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the jackpot game or small hit game opening command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4475: YES), and in the opening effect pattern determination process (FIG. 37: step S4480). When it is determined from the information on the special figure stop symbol data included in this command that the special figure 2 has a big hit or a small hit, the corresponding opening effect start command is set and executed. This winning game effect: FIG. 45 (A) is, for example, an effect suggesting that a jackpot game is executed (expected successful effect of V: FIG. 44 (I), V roulette successful effect: FIG. 46 (C), target). Successful application: executed after FIG. 48 (C)).

  First, at the start of the big hit game with one type of big hit or at the start of the small hit game with the small hit, as shown in FIG. 45 (A), the big hit game is executed by the action of the predetermined character. A suggestion image GB1 and a right-handed suggestion image GB2 are displayed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 45 (B), an image GB3 indicating that a jackpot game is to be executed using a predetermined character or the like, and a right strike suggestion image GB2 are displayed.

  The effects of FIGS. 45 (A) and 45 (B) are continued in a single-type jackpot game until a predetermined period (hereinafter, also referred to as a “first game period”) elapses from the start of the jackpot game. Further, in the small hit game, the game is continued from the start of the small hit game until the first game period elapses. That is, in both the large hit game and the small hit game, an effect of the same content (similarity) is performed during the first game period. In the first game period, at least the opening time (here, 0.01 seconds) of the small hit game (opening pattern 23) and the opening time of the second big winning opening 35 (here, 1.6). Second) and the total time (1.61 second) or more. Here, the first game period is a period from the start of the small hitting game to the end of the small hitting game (opening time (0.01 seconds) + opening time of the second big winning opening 35 (1.6 seconds)) + Ending time (3 seconds)) is set at 4.61 seconds. When the first game period has elapsed since the start of the jackpot game associated with one type of jackpot, or when the first game period has elapsed since the start of the small hit game and two types of jackpots due to V passing are determined, As shown in FIG. 45 (C), an image GB4 that clearly suggests that a big hit game is being played, and a right strike suggestion image GB2 are displayed. That is, when two kinds of big hits are made after the small hit game, the effects of FIGS. 45 (A), (B), and (C) are executed as in the case of one kind of big hit.

  On the other hand, when the first game period has elapsed from the start of the small hit game due to the small hit and the non-execution of the big hit game is determined by the V non-passage, instead of the image GB4, FIG. As shown, an image GB5 indicating that the jackpot game is not executed is displayed.

  In the hit game effect according to the present embodiment, the effect during the one-type jackpot game is the same as the effect during the small-hit game accompanying the small hit and the effect during the two-type jackpot game (FIGS. 45 (A), (B), (B)). C)). In other words, the effect from the start of the big hit game to the end of the big hit game and the effect from the start of the small hit game to the end of the two big hit games are the same effect. Even if the two kinds of big hits are not executed after the small hitting game accompanying the small hitting, at least during the small hitting game, the same effect as in the case of the one kind big hit (FIGS. 45 (A) and (B)) ) Is performed, and after the first game period elapses, an effect (FIG. 45 (D)) different from the case of the one-type jackpot is performed. The "similar (same) effect" here means that the content is close enough to make it difficult for the player to distinguish between the jackpot and small hit effects, and the effects need not be completely the same. . For example, when some characters are different, when some aspects of the predetermined character (for example, clothes, clothes color, equipment) are different, or when the appearance timing of the predetermined character is slightly different, etc. Naturally, it is included in similar productions. In the hit game effect according to the present embodiment, when two kinds of big hits occur after the small hit game, the big hit game effects (FIGS. 45 (A) and (B)) are started based on the V passing by the small hit game. Instead, the big hit game effect is configured to start at the time of starting the small hit game (that is, based on the fixed display of the small hit symbol). In other words, in the present embodiment, when a small hit is made, an effect indicating a small hit game (for example, an effect instructing a player to aim at V) is not performed at the time of the small hit game. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can be made to think that he / she has won one kind of big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, the timing (time) from when the small hit symbol is definitely displayed on the special symbol display 41 to when the small hit game effect (FIGS. 45 (A), (B), (C)) starts. ) And the timing (time) from when the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed until the jackpot game effect (FIGS. 45 (A), (B), (C)) starts. . As is clear from the above, a series of effects (expected success effect of V: FIG. 44 (I) → FIG. 45 (A) → FIG. 45 (B)) suggesting that the jackpot game is executed is small. The same content (similar effect) is obtained for a predetermined period from the start of a series of effects in the case of a hit and the case of one type of big hit. The predetermined period is a period equal to or longer than the period from the start of the expected success production of V to the end of the small hit game at the time of the small hit winning. For example, when the expected success production time of V is 5 seconds and the small hitting game time is 4.61 seconds, the predetermined period is 9.61 seconds. In addition, instead of the expected success effect of V: FIG. 44 (I), a success effect of V roulette: FIG. 46 (C), and a target success effect: FIG. (C)). Here, both the V roulette success production time and the target success production time are 5 seconds.

[Special figure 2 Fluctuating performance at the time of lottery (in a time-saving state)]
FIG. 46 is an explanatory view exemplifying a fluctuation effect at the time of drawing the special figure 2. The fluctuation effect at the time of the special drawing 2 lottery is executed in the time reduction state, at the time of a small hit of the special figure 2, at the time of the big hit of the special figure 2, or at the time of a loss of the special figure 2. More specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the change start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the change effect start processing (FIG. 37: step S4460, FIG. 38), When the variation pattern is determined to be “P16” to “P19” (FIG. 12) from the information on the variation pattern included, the process is executed by setting the corresponding variation effect start command (FIG. 38: Step) S5020).

  In the variation effect at the time of the special drawing 2 lottery, first, as shown in FIG. 46A, a V roulette effect displaying an image GC1 showing a roulette having a loss zone and a V zone rotating is executed. In this case, the display area HR3 provided at one corner of the display screen 7a shows the state of change of the decorative symbol.

  In the case where the result of the hit / fail judgment of the special figure 2 is a big hit or a small hit, as shown in FIG. A V zone selection effect for displaying an image GC2 indicating that the stop zone is the V zone is executed. In the display area HR3, after the reach state using the decorative symbol is shown, the symbol arrangement indicating the small hit or one type of big hit is stopped and displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 46 (C), a V-roulette success effect of displaying an image GC3 indicating that the big hit game is executed and a right-turning suggestion image GC4 is executed. This V-roulette success production indicates that the V-roulette production is successful and that the expectation of the jackpot (one or two kinds of jackpots) is high. In other words, the expectation that the jackpot game is executed is high. It is a production that suggests. Similar to the expected success effect of V (FIG. 44 (I)), the V roulette success effect is obtained after a predetermined time (for example, 0.01 second) elapses after the Zo-solo pattern is stopped and displayed in the display area HR2. Be started. That is, the timing (time) from when the small hit symbol is finally displayed on the special symbol display 41 to when the successful V-roulette effect is started, and from when the big hit symbol is finally displayed until the successful V-roulette effect is started. And the timing (time) is equal. In the case of a small hit, a small hit game is executed after the successful V roulette effect, and when the player passes the V by right-handing, two kinds of big hits are made and the game shifts to a big hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, when a small hit occurs, the variable effect is stopped, and an effect suggesting that a big hit (two types of big hits) game is executed regardless of whether or not the vehicle has passed V (FIG. 46). (C)) is started. Then, at the time of the small hit game, an effect indicating the small hit game or an effect indicating the V passing is not performed. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can be made to think that he / she has won one kind of big hit. In this embodiment, the same effect (FIG. 46 (C)) is started in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit, together with the stop of the variable effect. With this configuration, it is possible to make it more difficult to distinguish between the type 1 jackpot and the type 2 jackpot. In addition, even if the numbers of the zigzag lines stopped and displayed in the display area HR2 are different between the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit, these are naturally included in the same effect. Further, in the case of the big hit and the small hit, the expected success effect of V may be started before the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol is definitely displayed.

  On the other hand, when the result of the hit / fail determination of the special figure 2 is a loss, after the V roulette effect, as shown in FIG. A loss zone selection effect of displaying an image GC5 indicating that In the display region HR3, a reach state using a decorative symbol is shown.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 46 (E), a V roulette failure effect is displayed in which an image GC6 indicating that the V roulette effect has failed, the game has been lost, and the jackpot game is not executed is displayed. In the display area HR3, a symbol array indicating loss is shown using a decorative symbol. If the special figure 2 is suspended, the process shifts to the V-roulette effect (see FIG. 46A) again after the V-roulette failure effect.

  In the time saving state, the hit / fail judgment is performed in the special figure 1 and a large hit (FIG. 12: when the variation pattern “P8” is selected) or a small hit (FIG. 12: when the variation pattern “P9” is selected) 46A to 46C are executed in the same manner as in the case of the big hit or the small hit in the special figure 2. In addition, a hit / fail judgment is performed in the special figure 1, and in the case of a loss (FIG. 12: when the variation pattern “P10” is selected), as in the case of the loss in the special figure 2, FIGS. , (E). Further, in the time saving state, a loss occurs in the hit / fail determination of the special figure 2 (FIG. 12: when the variation pattern “P19” is selected), or a loss occurs in the hit / miss determination of the special figure 1 (FIG. 12: the variation pattern). In the case where “P11” is selected), a fluctuating effect of quickly notifying a loss using a decorative symbol is executed.

[Countdown production (when changing working hours)
FIG. 47 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a countdown effect. This countdown effect is an effect in which the image of the number of remaining time savings is displayed on the display screen 7a during each variable effect in the time saving state. The countdown effect is started from the first fluctuation of the special symbol in a time-saving state after the jackpot game. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the fluctuation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the fluctuation effect start processing (FIG. 37: step S4460, FIG. 38), the mode status M Is "2", the corresponding variable effect start command is set and executed (FIG. 38: step S5020). The “number of remaining hours saved in the countdown effect” shown in the image is determined by referring to the time-saving effect scenario (see FIG. 43) determined based on the time-saving effect scenario determination table T56 (see FIG. 42). Therefore, the “remaining number of times saved” shown in the image is the same as the actual number of times left remaining until the time saving state ends (actual number of remaining fluctuations), or the number of times less than the actual remaining number of times saved. Is shown as a pseudo remaining time savings. The countdown effect shown in FIG. 47 is an example of an effect corresponding to “scenario C”.

  In the countdown effect based on “scenario C”, first, a countdown effect A is displayed as shown in FIG. In the countdown effect A, in the first variation after the time saving state is reached, the remaining time saving image GDA with the “display remaining number of times” set to 5 is displayed, and from the second variation to the fifth variation, the previous variation is used. The remaining time saving image GDA representing the number obtained by subtracting one from the displayed remaining time saving number is displayed. For example, in the countdown effect A, in the second variation, the image GDA indicating the remaining number of display time reductions in which “the number of remaining display time reductions” is four is displayed, and in the fifth variation, the “number of remaining display time reductions” is set to one. The image GDA of the number of remaining time savings is displayed.

  When the display of the number-of-time-savings-remaining-times image GDA of the fifth change in the countdown effect A is completed, next, as shown in FIG. 47B, the charge effect A is executed during the change effect of the fifth change. In the charge effect A, a charge image CHA indicating that the “remaining number of display time savings” is charged (increased) about ten times is displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 47C, a countdown effect B is executed. In the countdown effect B, at the sixth change, which is the next change of the charge effect A, the charge (10 times) is subtracted by one (0) from the remaining number (1) of the previous change (fifth change). The number of times (10 times) increased by (number of times) is set as the “number of remaining display time savings”, and the image GDB of the remaining number of times saved is displayed. From the seventh variation to the fifteenth variation, one from the remaining number of times indicated by the previous variation is displayed. A time saving remaining number image GDB representing the subtracted remaining number is displayed. For example, in the countdown effect B, in the sixth variation, the image GDB of the remaining number of hours saved with the “display remaining number of times” set to 10 is displayed. The remaining number-of-times image GDB is displayed, and at the fifteenth variation, the remaining number-of-time-savings image GDB with the “remaining number of display time reductions” set to one is displayed.

  When the display of the number-of-time-savings-remaining-times image GDB at the fifteenth change in the countdown effect B ends, next, as shown in FIG. 47D, the charge effect B is executed during the change effect at the fifteenth change. In the charge effect B, a charge image CHB indicating that the “number of remaining display times” is charged (increased) about 84 times is displayed.

  Next, a countdown effect C is executed as shown in FIG. In the countdown effect C, at the 16th change, which is the next change of the charge effect B, the charge (84 times) is obtained by subtracting one (0) from the remaining number (1) of the previous change (15th change). The number of times (84 times) increased by “number of times” is displayed as the “remaining number of times to be displayed” image GDC is displayed, and from the 17th variation to the 99th variation, one from the remaining number of times indicated by the previous variation is displayed. An image GDC showing the remaining number of times reduced is displayed. For example, in the countdown effect C, the 16th variation displays the image GDC with the remaining number of display time savings set to “84”, and the 17th variation displays the time reduction when the “number of remaining display time reductions” is 83 times. The remaining number of times image GDC is displayed.

  Note that the countdown effect is executed at a predetermined timing of each of the time-varying fluctuation effects. For example, it may be executed at the start timing of each fluctuation effect, or may be executed at the end timing of each fluctuation effect. Further, during each of the fluctuation effects, the image of the number of remaining working hours may be continuously displayed.

[One-time production of crying (production of the first change (Special Figure 2) after the reduction of working hours)]
FIG. 48 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a one-time production of crying. This one-time production of crying is a variation production performed in the next variation of the special change 2 when the hold of the special figure 2 is held in the last variation of the time reduction state, that is, the first production after the reduction of time This is the fluctuation effect of the special figure 2 in the non-time saving state. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the fluctuation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the fluctuation effect start processing (FIG. 37: step S4460, FIG. 38), the special effect flag Is ON, the corresponding variable effect start command is set and executed (FIG. 38: step S5020).

  In the one-time production of crying, first, as shown in FIG. 48 (A), an image GE1 showing a state in which a “target” consisting of a hit zone and a losing zone is rotating, and a state advantageous to the player last. And a target start effect of displaying an image GE2 indicating that In this case, in the display area HR4 provided at one corner of the display screen 7a, the variation state of the decorative symbol is shown.

  In the case where the result of the hit / fail judgment of Toku-zu 2 is a big hit or a small hit, after the hit hitting start effect, as shown in FIG. 48 (B), the arrow hits the hit hit zone. A hit effect for displaying the image GE3 indicating that the target hit is executed. In the display area HR4, after the reach state using the decorative symbol is shown, the symbol array indicating the small hit or one type of big hit is stopped and displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 48 (C), an image GE4 suggesting that a jackpot game is executed and a right-hit suggestion image GE5 prompting right-handing are displayed. A hit success effect that indicates that the degree of expectation of one type of jackpot or two types of jackpot is high, in other words, that the degree of expectation that the jackpot game is executed is high. Similarly to the expected success production of V (FIG. 44 (I)), this target success production is performed after a predetermined time (for example, 0.01 second) elapses after the symbol arrangement in the display area HR2 is stopped and displayed. Be started. That is, the timing (time) from when the small hit symbol is definitely displayed on the special symbol display 41 until the successful hitting effect is started, and between the time when the big hit symbol is finally displayed and the hitting successful effect is started. And the timing (time) is equal. In the case of a small hit, a small hit game is executed after the success in hitting the target. When the player passes by V, two types of big hits are made, and the game shifts to a big hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the case of a small hit, the variable effect is stopped, and an effect indicating that a big hit (two kinds of big hits) game is executed regardless of whether or not the vehicle has passed V (FIG. 48). (C)) is started. Then, at the time of the small hit game, an effect indicating the small hit game or an effect indicating the V passing is not performed. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can be made to think that he / she has won one kind of big hit. In the present embodiment, the same effect (FIG. 48 (C)) is started in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit together with the stop of the variable effect. With this configuration, it is possible to make it more difficult to distinguish between the type 1 jackpot and the type 2 jackpot. In addition, even if the numbers of the zigzag lines stopped and displayed in the display area HR2 are different between the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit, these are naturally included in the same effect. Further, in the case of the big hit and the small hit, the expected success effect of V may be started before the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol is definitely displayed.

  On the other hand, if the result of the hit / fail determination in Toku-zu 2 is a loss, after the target application start effect, as shown in FIG. 48D, an image GE6 indicating that the arrow hits the target loss zone A target loss effect is displayed. In the display area HR4, a reach state using a decorative symbol is shown.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 48 (E), a hit-appearance failure effect of displaying an image GE7 indicating that the hit is a failure and the big hit or small hit is lost and the big hit game is not executed as shown in FIG. . In the display area HR4, a symbol array indicating loss is shown using a decorative symbol.

  The effects shown in FIGS. 48 (A) to (C) in the single effect of crying are obtained when the change pattern P13 (see FIG. 12) is selected in the first change from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. The effects shown in FIGS. 48 (A), (D), and (E) show the variation pattern P14 (see FIG. 12) in the first variation that has shifted from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state. ) Is an example of an effect performed when “” is selected.

9. Operation of Board Movable Body The operation of the board movable body (the first movable role 14 and the second movable role 15) will be described with reference to FIGS. 49 to 58. The effect control microcomputer 91 performs drive control for operating the first movable auditors 14 and the second movable auditors 15 during a game effect (display effect) or during an initial operation when the power is turned on. The effect control microcomputer 91 causes the image display device 7 to display a specific image during a game effect (display effect), an initial operation at the time of power-on, or the like, or causes the first movable auditors 14 and the second movable auditors to display a specific image. A display / light emission control for causing the light emitting device 15 to emit light in a specific mode is performed.

  The operation of the first movable accessory 14 will be described with reference to FIGS. 49 to 54. FIG. 49 is an explanatory view illustrating the movement of the first movable auditorium 14 in the advance direction (movement in the advance direction). FIG. 50 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a second mode of the first movable role object 14. FIG. 51 is an explanatory diagram exemplifying a combined effect of the first movable auditors 14 and the image display device 7. FIG. 52 is an explanatory diagram exemplifying a rotation operation of the first movable role object 14. FIG. 53 and FIG. 54 are explanatory diagrams exemplifying a light emitting mode of the first movable role object 14.

  As shown in FIG. 49, the first movable role 14 includes a left movable role 14L and a right movable role 14R. The left movable role 14L and the right movable role 14R are configured to be movable in the left-right direction, and half of the ring-shaped decorative portion (left decorative portion and right decorative portion) is attached to the tip side. That is, each of the left decorative portion and the right decorative portion has a half arc shape of the ring shape. As shown in FIG. 1, the first movable auditorium 14 is in a retracted position (home position) in which the left movable auditorium 14L is stored on the left side of the display screen 7a and the right movable auditorium 14R is stored on the right side of the display screen 7a. It can be stationary (first aspect). At this time, the left movable role 14L and the right movable role 14R are each partially visible. In the first movable role 14, the left movable role 14L and the right movable role 14R advance from the state of FIG. 1 toward the center of the display screen 7a (in directions approaching each other), as shown in FIG. By moving, at the advanced position (deployed position) shown in FIG. 50, the left decorative portion and the right decorative portion are united, and one decorative member (unified unit) is formed (second mode). Here, the united role forms the outline of the face. In the second aspect, the united product in which the left-side decorative portion and the right-side decorative portion are united covers a portion near the center of the display screen 7a on the front surface of the image display device 7 and is displayed from the opening formed in the center. The screen 7a stands still in a visible state. That is, the united role is formed so that only the outline of the face is formed, there is no central portion of the face, and the display screen 7a can be visually recognized instead. Then, as shown in FIG. 51, the face image is displayed on the display screen 7a corresponding to the opening formed in the center of the combined character, thereby completing the human face as a whole. That is, by displaying a missing portion (for example, the center portion of the face) of the combined role as an image on the display screen 7a, a combined effect of the role and image that completes one object (for example, a human face) is achieved. Can be performed. The target completed by the first movable role 14 and the display screen 7a is not limited to a human face. For example, it may be an entire human body, a robot, or the like. That is, the head, body, right arm, and both legs may be completed with the combined role, and the left arm may be displayed on the display screen 7a. The first movable role object 14 can move to the retreat position shown in FIG. 1 by moving (retreating) from the advanced position in FIGS. 50 and 51 through the state in FIG. 49, and stops there. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 52, the combined object can be rotated vertically in front of the display screen 7a. In other words, the united role can be rotated about an axis parallel and horizontal to the display screen 7a as a rotation axis, and can be stopped at an arbitrary inclined angle. At this time, the central opening of the united role has an elliptical shape whose vertical direction is gradually narrower when viewed from the player. On the display screen 7a, the image of the person's face to be displayed is deformed according to the deformation of the opening into an elliptical shape. Thereby, for example, it is possible to perform an effect as if a human face is bowed by the first movable role 14 and the display screen 7a.

  As shown in FIGS. 53 and 54, the first movable role object 14 is configured to emit light. Specifically, a plurality of LEDs are arranged side by side on the surface of the united role (decorative member), and each of them is configured to be switchable between ON and OFF. For example, as shown in FIG. 53, the right movable movable object 14R can emit light in conjunction with (corresponding to) the light emission of the frame lamp 66. Further, as shown in FIG. 54, the right movable role 14R and the left movable role 14L can emit light in conjunction with each other.

FIG. 56 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the rotation operation of the second movable role object 15. The second movable accessory 15 includes a rectangular decorative portion described as “OARO”, and is configured to be able to move vertically and horizontally. As shown in FIG. 1, the second movable role 15 can be stopped at a retreat position (home position) above the display screen 7a (first mode). At this time, a part of the second movable role object 15 is in a state where it is difficult to visually recognize the second movable role object 15. The second movable auditorium 15 moves downward from the state of FIG. 1 toward the center of the display screen 7a and can stand still at the advanced position (deployed position) shown in FIG. 55 (second mode). . In the second aspect, the decoration unit stops on the front surface of the image display device 7 so as to cover a portion slightly above the center of the display screen 7a. Further, as shown in FIG. 56, this decorative portion can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise (rotate clockwise in the figure) in front of the display screen 7a, and can stop at an arbitrary inclined angle. By moving upward (retreating) from the advanced positions in FIGS. 55 and 56, the second movable role 15 can move to the retracted position shown in FIG. 1 and can stop there.

  With reference to FIG. 57 and FIG. 58, a description will be given of a combination effect of the first movable auditors 14 and the second movable auditors 15. FIG. 57 is an explanatory view exemplifying a first combination effect by the first movable role object 14 and the second movable role item 15. FIG. 58 is an explanatory diagram exemplifying a second combination effect using the first movable auditors's hand 14 and the second movable auditors's hand. As shown in FIG. 57, the first movable auditors 14 and the second movable auditors 15 can both execute the first combination effect by being in the second mode. That is, when both the first movable role 14 and the second movable role 15 move to the advanced position, the second movable role 15 covers a part of the upper part of the first movable role 14. In other words, the first movable role 14 and the second movable role 15 can be stopped in a partially combined state. Further, the first movable role 14 and the second movable role 15 are, as shown in FIG. 58, in a state where the second movable role 15 covers a part of A second combination effect in which the movable role 14 and the second movable role 15 are each inclined at a predetermined angle can be performed. In the second combination effect, the first movable effect is formed by rotating (tilting) the two movable characters together, or by moving to the advanced position in an inclined state and overlapping each other. There is a case where the second combination effect is directly performed without going through the one combination effect.

  The outer and inner effects of the three-dimensional image are executed during the fluctuation effect of the decorative pattern (for example, a period from the start of the fluctuation of the decorative pattern to the stop of the fluctuation), during a jackpot game (a big hit effect) in which a profit is given to the player, and the like. Can be done. That is, the image control microcomputer 101 analyzes various commands received from the sub-control board 90 (for example, a variable production start command, various jackpot game opening commands, a jackpot game round designation command, and a jackpot game ending command), and When the instruction to execute the effect is included, the corresponding image data is read from the ROM 103 and the image is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7.

  Here, the outline inside and outside effect A of the stereoscopic image will be described first, and the outline inside and outside effect B of the stereoscopic image and the outline inside and outside effect C of the stereo image will be described in order.

[Outside / inside / outside production A of stereoscopic image]
First, the outline inside / outside effect A of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 92 is a diagram for describing the outline inside / outside effect A of the stereoscopic image. In the outer-inside-outside effect A of the three-dimensional image, first, as shown in FIG. 92 (A), the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 has a three-dimensional image of a colored image as a predetermined image, for example, a color opaque three-dimensional image. When appearing as FRM, it is displayed in a manner of approaching, moving away, stopping, and swaying and swinging (including rotation; the same applies hereinafter). At this time, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 includes the outer region (outline) of the three-dimensional image FRM (number “4”) as a boundary and the inner region FRa of the outer line (outline) of the three-dimensional image FRM (number “4”). And the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (outline) of the three-dimensional image FRM (number “4”). Here, the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) is the background image.

  Thereafter, when the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) appears again on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays the outline of the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”). With the (outline) as a boundary, an inner region FMa of the outer (outline) of the three-dimensional image FRM (number “4”) and an outer region FRMb of the outer (outline) of the three-dimensional image FRM (number “4”) are formed. Be partitioned. In addition, the outer region FRMb outside the contour (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) is the background image.

  When the stereoscopic image FRM (the numeral “4”) is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 in a manner approaching, the inner region FRa of the outer periphery (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (the numeral “4”) is displayed large. As the proportion of the display screen 7a of the display device 7 increases, the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) decreases, and the proportion of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 decreases. Become. On the other hand, when the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 in a distant manner, when the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) is inside the outer region (outline) FRa of the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”). Are displayed small and occupy less on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, so that the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") becomes larger, and the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 In the market.

  After this, if the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) appears again on the display screen 7 a of the image display device 7, the display screen of the image display device 7 approaches the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”). Similarly, when the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 in a distant manner, the contour (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) is displayed. Of the three-dimensional image FRM (numeral "4"), the outer region FRMb of the three-dimensional image FRM (numeral "4") increases or decreases as the ratio of the inner region FMa of the three-dimensional image FRM to the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 increases or decreases. The ratio occupying the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 becomes lower or higher.

  A pattern (not shown) is provided in the inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”). In the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”), a first geometric pattern in which quadrangles are arranged in a matrix in a manner arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions at a predetermined interval from each other. Is displayed. The first geometric pattern is a still image.

  Thereafter, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays, as shown in FIG. 92 (B), the frame of the stereoscopic image from the colored opaque stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) as the predetermined image. When the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM is switched as the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM, one or both of the vertical length and the horizontal length of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM becomes large, or one or both become small. Displayed. At this time, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 includes an inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM and a frame-shaped three-dimensional image with the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM as a boundary. And an outer region FRMb outside the outline (outline) of the FRM. Here, the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM is the background image.

  Thereafter, when the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM appears again on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 uses the outer shape (contour) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM as a boundary. , An inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (contour) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM and an outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (contour) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM.

When one or both of the vertical length and the horizontal length of the stereoscopic image FRM are reduced, the inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped stereoscopic image FRM is reduced. However, the size of the character displayed in the inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM is increased due to the increase in the inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM. Instead of being displayed large (enlarged display), in addition to the character, an area around the character in which the background around the character, other characters or items existing around the character, etc. can be visually recognized is expanded. In addition, the size of the character displayed in the inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM is reduced due to the smaller inner region FRMa of the outer periphery (outline) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM. Rather than being displayed small (reduced display), the area around the character described above becomes smaller, and the area where the character itself can be viewed becomes smaller. Of course, when the character displayed in the inner region FRMa of the outer frame (contour) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM approaches (moves toward the player) in the inner region FRMa of the outer frame (contour) of the frame-shaped three-dimensional image FRM.

In the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”), a first geometric pattern in which quadrangles are arranged in a matrix in a manner arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions at a predetermined interval from each other. Is displayed. The first geometric pattern is a still image.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 94B, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 changes from the colored opaque stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) to the colored opaque stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) as a predetermined image. ) Is switched to a stereoscopic image FRM viewed from the front (hereinafter referred to as a stereoscopic image FRM viewed from the front (numerical "4")), and when the stereoscopic image FRM viewed from the front (numerical "4") appears, the user approaches or moves farther. It is displayed in such a manner as to stop, stop, or move up, down, left and right. At this time, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays the outline (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") viewed from the front with the boundary (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") viewed from the front. ), And an outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) viewed from the front. Here, the outer region FRMb of the outer side (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) viewed from the front is the background image.

  After this, when the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) viewed from the front appears again on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays the stereoscopic image FRM (the number “4”) viewed from the front. With the outer contour (“contour”) of “4”) as a boundary, the inner region FRMa of the outer contour (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) viewed from the front and the outer contour of the stereoscopic image FRM (numerical “4”) viewed from the front. (Outline) and an outer region FRMb. In addition, the outer region FRMb of the outer periphery (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) viewed from the front is the background image.

  The display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays a stereoscopic image at the timing of switching from a colored opaque stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) to a colored opaque stereoscopic image FRM viewed from the front (number “4”) as a predetermined image. A first geometric pattern (a pattern in which quadrangles are arranged in a matrix in a manner arranged in the up, down, left, and right directions while being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance), which is displayed in an outer region FRMb of an outer shape (outline) of FRM (number “4”) ) Is displayed by switching to a brick structure as a second geometric pattern in the outer region FRMb of the outer contour (outline) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) viewed from the front.

In the C mode, the theme image PM imitating “rain” is displayed large on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, as shown in FIG. 95 (C). After the start of the change of the decorative symbol, the right decorative symbol 8R is temporarily stopped at the symbol (numeral) following the left decorative symbol 8L (here, the symbol "3" is temporarily stopped), and the middle decorative symbol 8C changes. It is medium. In this state, even if a game ball enters the first starting port 20, the number of first special figure reservations does not increase because four first special figure reservations, which are the upper limit, have already been reached, and five reserved images 9A are displayed. The image is not linearly arranged and displayed below the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 along the lower side of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7.

  Thereafter, when the player operates (presses) the effect button 63, the C mode located in the specific area of the selection unit SEL goes downward, so that the B mode arranged below the C mode goes upward from below. While the reel is displayed in a manner of rotating, the D mode arranged above the C mode is displayed in a manner of rotating the reel from above to a specific area. In the D mode, the theme image PM imitating "snow" is displayed large on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, as shown in FIG. Also, after the start of the change of the decorative symbol, the middle decorative symbol 8C is temporarily stopped at the symbol (numeral) following the left decorative symbol 8L and the right decorative symbol 8R (temporary stop at the numeral "5" in this case). The left decorative symbol 8L is a numeral "1", the middle decorative symbol 8C is a numeral "5", and the right decorative symbol 8R is a numeral "3", which is stopped and displayed, and the loss is confirmed and displayed.

  When the left decorative pattern 8L is stopped at the number "1", the middle decorative pattern 8C is the number "5", and the right decorative pattern 8R is the number "3", the change is started until the next decorative pattern starts to change. During the period (hereinafter referred to as “interval”), even if the player operates (presses) the effect button 63, the D mode located in the specific area of the selection unit SEL cannot be moved downward, and the effect is produced. The mode cannot be selected. Thereby, in the interval, the already selected effect mode is continued, and the theme image PM imitating “snow” is displayed large on the display screen 7 a of the image display device 7. In other words, unless the start of the change of the next decorative symbol is performed, the already selected effect mode is continued, and the theme image PM imitating “snow” is displayed large on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. Becomes Even if a demo screen for waiting for a customer (standby screen) is to be displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, after the demonstration screen for waiting for a customer (standby screen) ends, the already selected effect mode is selected. Is continued, and the theme image PM imitating “snow” is largely displayed on the display screen 7 a of the image display device 7.

While it is possible to convey that the jackpot is included in the holding information corresponding to the four second special figure holdings based on the entry of a game ball into the mouth 21, the holding having the second character body HRC2 is possible. When the second surface of the continuous image HRC is stopped and displayed facing forward (on the player side), this corresponds to four second special figure reservations based on the entry of a game ball into the second starting port 21. It can be notified that the hold information includes a predetermined number or more (for example, two) of jackpots of 16 rounds (maximum round (MAX round)).

  After that, as shown in FIG. 97 (I), the first surface of the hold continuous image HRC having the first character body HRC1 is stopped and displayed facing forward (toward the player), and It informs that the jackpot is included in the holding information corresponding to the four second special figure holdings based on the entering of the game ball. It should be noted that the first special figure reservation based on the entry of a game ball into the first starting port 20 and the second special figure reservation based on the entry of a game ball into the second starting port 21 are represented as numerals HMG in the image display device 7. Is continuously displayed on the upper left side of the display screen 7a.

  Thereafter, a catch-copy effect in which a game machine maker's catch phrase is displayed, and a warning for dependence on the game (dipping) are displayed, and a period for performing an anti-dipping effect is started, and this period (for example, 5 seconds) elapses. By doing so, the end of the jackpot production (jackpot game). At the end of the big hit effect (big hit game), the theme image PM that imitates the effect mode before the big hit effect (big hit game) occurs, for example, the “sun” that progresses with the theme of the “sun” in the A mode is an image. An effect that is largely displayed on the display screen 7a of the display device 7 proceeds.

  In addition, when the production of the hold series is performed, and after that, the big hit effect (big hit game) ends and the right-handed game is started, when the selection mode selection screen is displayed in the previous big hit effect (big hit game). In the case where the effect mode selected is maintained and the jackpot game (big hit effect) occurs again and the effect mode selection screen is displayed as shown in FIG. Although it is arranged in a specific area, the effect mode can be changed by operating (pressing) the effect button 63.

  In the present embodiment, in the specific period, the selection display prevention effect C of the effect mode is performed. However, the effect of the hold consecutive is also performed during the same period as the specific period. In other words, in the first period (the effect mode selection period), in the effect display inhibition display effect C, an effect in which the player can select the effect mode is performed, whereas in the effect of the hold continuous effect, the flash image is displayed. FH, and the effect by the reservation continuous image HRC are performed. Then, in the second period (the effect mode confirmation notification period), the effect of notifying the transition of the selected effect mode is performed in the effect display blocking effect C, while the presence of the jackpot is performed in the effect of the hold consecutive. Performing a production that conveys The specific period during which the selection display inhibition effect C of the effect mode is performed is the same as the specific period during which the effect of the suspended series is performed. Thereby, the time required for a series of effects from FIG. 97 (A) to FIG. 97 (B) to FIG. 97 (D) and the time required for FIG. 97 (G) to FIG. )), A predetermined time for performing a catch-copy effect in which a catch phrase of a gaming machine maker is displayed and a warning for dependence on the game (intrusion) are displayed. Is also the same, and no difference occurs at the end of the big hit effect (big hit game) due to the lapse of this predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds).

  Hereinafter, the specific end surface effects A to C of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIGS. 101 to 103, various reserved images displayed on the display screen 7 a of the image display device 7 are omitted from the viewability of the drawings, and the decorative symbols displayed on the display screen 7 a of the image display device 7 are also viewed in the drawings. Some are omitted for simplicity, and the first movable auditors 14 and the second movable auditors 15 arranged around the front (front) of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 are also omitted for clarity of the drawing. There are things that are.

  The specific end face effect of the three-dimensional image can be executed during the variation effect of the decorative symbol (for example, during a period from the start of the variation of the decorative symbol to the stop of the variation). That is, when the image control microcomputer 101 analyzes various commands (for example, a variation effect start command) received from the sub-control board 90 and includes an instruction to execute a specific end surface effect of the stereoscopic image, the image control microcomputer 101 responds from the ROM 103. The image data to be read is read out, and the image is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. Further, when the lamp control board 107 analyzes various commands received from the sub-control board 90 and includes an instruction to execute a specific end face effect of a stereoscopic image, the position, inclination, and light emission of the second movable role 15 are included. Change aspects.

  Here, the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image will be described first, then the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image, and the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image will be described in order.

[Specific edge effect A of stereoscopic image]
First, the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 101 is a diagram for describing the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image. The specific end-face effect A of the stereoscopic image is performed by selecting from a plurality of types of reach effects when a reach is formed during the variation effect of the decorative pattern, and is performed as part of the reach effect. is there. In other words, the plurality of types of reach effects include the specific end surface effect A of the stereoscopic image.

  In the specific end face effect A of the three-dimensional image, first, as shown in FIG. 101A, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays a left decorative pattern 8L of the three-dimensional image, a medium decorative pattern 8C of the three-dimensional image, a three-dimensional image In the display mode in which the reel is rotated from the upper side to the lower side of the display screen 7a of the right decorative symbol 8R, the variable display of the decorative symbol (symbol: numbers "1" to "9") is started. When the decorative symbol change display is started, the stop-displayed decorative symbol changes from an opaque state to a translucent state while gradually increasing the speed from a low speed, and has a display mode that fluctuates at a high speed. Thus, the background image arranged behind the decorative symbol can be visually recognized through the translucent decorative symbol that is changing at a high speed. The decorative pattern decelerates immediately before stopping and changes from a translucent state to an opaque state again and is stopped and displayed. Here, as shown in FIG. 101 (B), the left decorative symbol 8L and the right decorative symbol 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same symbol (number) (here, temporarily stopped with the numeral “9”). The design 8C is variably displayed and a reach is formed.

  When the reach is formed, the middle decoration pattern 8C of the three-dimensional image temporarily stops at the number “8”, and the middle decoration pattern 8C of the three-dimensional image rotates (for example, the middle decoration pattern 8C of the three-dimensional image). If the display mode is set such that the display mode gradually decreases toward the rear while rotating backward from the upper side to the lower side, then another rotation (for example, from the right side to the left side of the three-dimensional image middle decoration pattern 8C) 101L, and gradually increases as it approaches the front while rotating, and as shown in FIG. 101 (C), is finally temporarily stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. And the right decorative pattern 8R is larger than the size of the decorative pattern 8R, and the display is stopped. As will be described later, this is performed in order to largely display the double-sided opening mode by the right side of the left middle decorative design 8CL and the left side of the right middle decorative design 8CR obtained by dividing the middle decorative design 8C of the three-dimensional image into right and left.

  Thereafter, the middle decoration pattern 8C of the three-dimensional image is divided into right and left by a vertical line (center line) passing through the upper middle point and the lower middle point of the middle decoration pattern 8C of the three-dimensional image. As shown in FIG. 101 (D), the right side of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the left side of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR open in a double-opening manner. Here, the right end face of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL is a specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL, which is a stereoscopic image having an open end face, and the left end face of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR is an open end face. Is the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR.

  The middle decorative pattern 8C is formed as colored and opaque. However, in a display mode in which the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the right middle decorative pattern 8CR are opened in a double-opening manner, the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the right side The specific end face 8CRa of the middle decorative pattern 8CR is represented in a mode having transparency. Here, the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative design 8CL and the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative design 8CR are transparent areas.

  In a display mode in which the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the right middle decorative pattern 8CR are opened in a double-split manner, a predetermined image that should not be present in the background image is displayed on the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the right side. It can be visually recognized through the specific area 8CRa of the middle decorative pattern 8CR and the transparent area.

  Here, two character bodies CRA and CRB are used as the "predetermined image", and the two character bodies CRA and CRB are still images in which they face each other with a sword, and show the world view of the production by the gaming machine 1. Yes, even if the left middle decorative design 8CL and the right middle decorative design 8CR are gradually opened in a double-opened manner, the positions of the two character bodies CRA and CRB do not change, and the distance dimension and size of each other do not change. Has become. The character body CRB can be visually recognized on the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative design 8CL, and the character body CRA can be visually recognized on the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative design 8CR.

  When the left middle decorative design 8CL and the right middle decorative design 8CR are opened shortly in a double-leafed manner, the transparent region of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative design 8CL and the transparent end surface 8CRa of the right middle decorative design 8CR. Area is small, and it is difficult to notice that the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR are transparent. As the 8CL and the right middle decorative pattern 8CR are opened in the double-sided opening mode, the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR increase. A part of the character body CRB can be visually recognized from the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative design 8CL, and the specific end face of the right middle decorative design 8CR can be seen. It is possible to visually recognize a portion of the character body CRA from CRa.

  When the left middle decorative design 8CL and the right middle decorative design 8CR are widely opened in a double-split manner, as shown in FIG. 101 (E), the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative design 8CL becomes the character body CRB. And the transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR becomes large until the presence of the character CRA can be visually recognized.

  Following FIG. 101 (E), as shown in FIG. 101 (F), a flash image FH in which light is emitted in all directions from the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. Then, as shown in FIG. 101 (G), the character body CRB visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the transparent body of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR are displayed. The character body CRA visually recognized through the area is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, and an action effect by the two character bodies CRA and CRB is developed. At this time, in addition to the character body CRB visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the character body CRA visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR. The background images of the two character bodies CRA and CRB are also displayed large on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7.

  The action effect is developed, and the left decorative symbol 8L, the middle decorative symbol 8C, and the right decorative symbol 8R are stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 together with the same symbol (here, the numeral “9”). And a jackpot game (jackpot effect) in which the player becomes a jackpot and a profit is given to the player, while the left decorative symbol 8L is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 with the number “9”, If the middle decorative pattern 8C is the number “8” and the right decorative pattern 8R is the number “9” and the same pattern (here, the number “9”) is stopped and displayed without being aligned, the loss is confirmed and displayed. Become.

[Specific edge effect B of stereoscopic image]
Next, the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 102 is a diagram for describing the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image. The specific end-face effect B of the stereoscopic image is selected from among a plurality of types of reach effects when a reach is formed during the decorative effect fluctuating effect, and is performed as part of the reach effect. is there. In other words, the plurality of types of reach effects include the specific end surface effect B of the stereoscopic image.

  In the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image, first, as shown in FIG. 102A, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays a left decorative pattern 8L of the stereoscopic image, a medium decorative pattern 8C of the stereoscopic image, a stereoscopic image In the display mode in which the reel is rotated from the upper side to the lower side of the display screen 7a of the right decorative symbol 8R, the variable display of the decorative symbol (symbol: numbers "1" to "9") is started. When the decorative symbol change display is started, the stop-displayed decorative symbol changes from an opaque state to a translucent state while gradually increasing the speed from a low speed, and has a display mode that fluctuates at a high speed. Thus, the background image arranged behind the decorative symbol can be visually recognized through the translucent decorative symbol that is changing at a high speed. The decorative pattern decelerates immediately before stopping and changes from a translucent state to an opaque state again and is stopped and displayed. Here, as shown in FIG. 102 (B), the left decorative symbol 8L and the right decorative symbol 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same symbol (number) (here, temporarily stopped with the numeral “9”). The design 8C is variably displayed and a reach is formed.

  When the reach is formed, as shown in FIG. 102 (C), the second movable role 15 having a rectangular shape with “OARO” on the front surface is retracted above the image display device 7 (home position). From the stationary state, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 advances (moves) downward to a position (advance position (effect position)) near the front (front) center of the display screen 7a. When the second movable accessory 15 has advanced (moved) to a position (advance position (effect position)) near the front (front) center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, a predetermined angle from the horizontal state to the clockwise direction is completed. (E.g., 30 degrees), then stop and tilt.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 102 (D), a character string “OARO” written on the front surface of the second movable role 15 is displayed in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 in the form of a colored and opaque “OARO”. The display mode appears as the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image. Note that the appearance and color of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image may be the same as “OARO” described on the front surface of the second movable role object 15, or may be the same in appearance and different in color.

  Thereafter, when the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image is displayed at the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the second movable role 15 rotates counterclockwise by a predetermined angle (for example, 30 degrees). It stops and returns to the original horizontal state, and retreats (moves) upward from the advance position (production position) to the retreat position (home position).

  The character string image LG of the stereoscopic image displayed at the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 rotates backward (for example, rotates from the upper side to the lower side of the stereoscopic character string image LG) and moves backward. If the display mode is set to gradually decrease as the distance increases, then the display mode is switched to another rotation (for example, a rotation that rotates from the right side to the left side of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image), and gradually approaches the front while rotating. As shown in FIG. 102 (E), the rotation is stopped because it is larger than the size of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image that finally appears in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. It becomes a display mode. As will be described later, this is performed to largely display the double-sided opening mode by the right side of the left side character string image LGL and the left side of the right side character string image LGR obtained by dividing the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image into right and left.

  Then, the character string image LG of the three-dimensional image is divided into left and right, and is divided into two three-dimensional character string images in which “OA” is a left character string image LGL and “RO” is a right character string image LGR. As shown in (F), the right side of the left-side character string image LGL and the left side of the right-side character string image LGR are in a display mode in which they are opened in a double-split mode. Here, the right end face of the character "A" which is the right end face of the left character string image LGL becomes the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL which is a stereoscopic image which becomes the open end face, and the left end of the right character string image LGR. The left end face of the character “R” serving as the end face becomes the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR which is a stereoscopic image serving as the open end face.

  The character string image LG is formed as colored and opaque. However, when the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are displayed in a double-opening manner, the specific end face LGLa and the right side of the left character string image LGL are formed. The specific end face LGRa of the character string image LGR is represented in a mode having transparency. Here, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are transparent areas.

  In a display mode in which the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are opened in a double-split manner, a predetermined image that should not be present in the background image is displayed on the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and on the right. The character string image LGR can be visually recognized through the specific end face LGRa and the transparent area.

  Here, two character bodies CRA and CRB are used as the "predetermined image", and the two character bodies CRA and CRB are still images in which they face each other with a sword, and show the world view of the production by the gaming machine 1. Even if the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are gradually opened in a double-opened manner, the positions of the two character bodies CRA and CRB do not change, and the distance dimension and size between them do not change. Has become. The character body CRB can be visually recognized on the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, and the character body CRA can be visually recognized on the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR.

  When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are just opened in the double-sided opening mode, the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR. Area is small, and it is difficult to notice that the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are transparent. As the LGL and the right character string image LGR are opened in the double-sided opening mode, the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR become larger. A part of the character body CRB can be visually recognized from the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, and the specific end face of the right character string image LGR can be recognized. It is possible to visually recognize a portion of the character body CRA from GRa.

  When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are widely opened in the double-sided opening mode, as shown in FIG. 102 (G), the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL becomes the character body CRB. And the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right-side character string image LGR increases to a state where the presence of the character body CRA can be visually recognized.

  102 (H), as shown in FIG. 102 (H), a flash image FH in which light is emitted in all directions from the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. Then, as shown in FIG. 102 (I), the character CRB visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, and the transparent character of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR. The character body CRA visually recognized through the area is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, and an action effect by the two character bodies CRA and CRB is developed. At this time, in addition to the character body CRB visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the character body CRA visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR. The background images of the two character bodies CRA and CRB are also displayed large on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7.

  The action effect is developed, and the left decorative symbol 8L, the middle decorative symbol 8C, and the right decorative symbol 8R are stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 together with the same symbol (here, the numeral “9”). And a jackpot game (jackpot effect) in which the player becomes a jackpot and a profit is given to the player, while the left decorative symbol 8L is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 with the number “9”, If the middle decorative pattern 8C is the number “8” and the right decorative pattern 8R is the number “9” and the same pattern (here, the number “9”) is stopped and displayed without being aligned, the loss is confirmed and displayed. Become.

[Specific end surface effect C of stereoscopic image]
Next, the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 103 is a diagram for describing the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image. The specific end face effect C of the three-dimensional image is selected from among a plurality of types of reach effects when a reach is formed during the decorative effect fluctuating effect, and is performed as part of the reach effect. is there. That is, the plurality of types of reach effects include the specific end surface effect C of the stereoscopic image.

  In the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image, first, as shown in FIG. 103 (A), the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 displays a stereoscopic image left decorative pattern 8L, a stereoscopic image medium decorative pattern 8C, and a stereoscopic image. In the display mode in which the reel is rotated from the upper side to the lower side of the display screen 7a of the right decorative symbol 8R, the variable display of the decorative symbol (symbol: numbers "1" to "9") is started. When the decorative symbol change display is started, the stop-displayed decorative symbol changes from an opaque state to a translucent state while gradually increasing the speed from a low speed, and has a display mode that fluctuates at a high speed. Thus, the background image arranged behind the decorative symbol can be visually recognized through the translucent decorative symbol that is changing at a high speed. The decorative pattern decelerates immediately before stopping and changes from a translucent state to an opaque state again and is stopped and displayed. Here, as shown in FIG. 103 (B), the left decorative symbol 8L and the right decorative symbol 8R are tentatively stopped and displayed with the same symbol (number) (here, tentatively stopped with numeral “9”). The design 8C is variably displayed and a reach is formed.

  When the reach is formed, as shown in FIG. 103 (C), the second movable role 15 having a rectangular shape with “OARO” on the front surface is retracted above the image display device 7 (home position). From the stationary state, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 advances (moves) downward to a position (advance position (effect position)) near the front (front) center of the display screen 7a. When the second movable accessory 15 has advanced (moved) to a position (advance position (effect position)) near the front (front) center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, a predetermined angle from the horizontal state to the clockwise direction is completed. (E.g., 30 degrees), then stop and tilt.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 103 (D), a character string “OARO” written on the front surface of the second movable role 15 is displayed in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 as a colored and opaque “OARO”. The display mode appears as the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image. Note that the appearance and color of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image may be the same as “OARO” described on the front surface of the second movable role object 15, or may be the same in appearance and different in color.

  Thereafter, when the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image is displayed at the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the second movable role 15 rotates counterclockwise by a predetermined angle (for example, 30 degrees). It stops and returns to the original horizontal state, and retreats (moves) upward from the advance position (production position) to the retreat position (home position).

  The character string image LG of the stereoscopic image displayed at the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 rotates backward (for example, rotates from the upper side to the lower side of the stereoscopic character string image LG) and moves backward. If the display mode is set to gradually decrease as the distance increases, then the display mode is switched to another rotation (for example, a rotation that rotates from the right side to the left side of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image), and gradually approaches the front while rotating. As shown in FIG. 103 (E), the rotation is stopped because the size becomes larger than the size of the character string image LG of the three-dimensional image finally appearing in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. It becomes a display mode. This is because, as will be described later, a display mode in which the front side of the left side character string image LGL and the front side of the right side character string image LGR, which are obtained by dividing the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image into right and left, is displayed so as to face each other and overlap each other, is largely displayed. Done in

  Then, the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image is divided into left and right, and is divided into two stereoscopic character string images in which “OA” is a left character string image LGL and “RO” is a right character string image LGR. As shown in (F), the left side of the left character string image LGL has a display mode in which the left side of the left side character string image LGL rotates forward with the right vertical direction as an axis, and the right side of the right side character string image LGR is the right side. The display mode is such that the character string image LGR rotates forward with the left vertical direction as an axis. Here, the surface described as “OA” of the left character string image LGL immediately before being divided into two character string images (the character string image LG shown in FIG. 103E) is divided into “left character string image”. The front surface of the right-side character string image LGR immediately before being divided into two character string images (the character string image LG shown in FIG. 103E) is referred to as “front side of the image LGL”. , "The front side of the right character string image LGR".

  As the rotation of the left character string image LGL and the right character string LGR progresses, the left character string image LGL and the right character are overlapped so that the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other. This is a display mode in which the column image LGR rotates (hereinafter, referred to as a “display mode in which the front side of the left character string image LGL and the front side of the right character string image LGR are closed so as to face each other).

  Thus, the right end face of the character “A”, which is the right end face of the left character string image LGL, is the closed end face, and the left end face of the character “O”, the left end face of the left character string image LGL, is the open end face. Further, the left end face of the character “R”, which is the left end face of the right character string image LGR, is the closed end face, and the right end face of the character “O”, which is the right end face of the right character string image LGR, is the open end face.

  The left end face of the character "O" which is the left end face of the left character string image LGL is an open end face, which in this case is a specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL which is a stereoscopic image, and the right end of the right character string image LGR. The right end face of the character “O” serving as the right end face is an open end face, and in this case, is a specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR that is a stereoscopic image.

  The character string image LG is formed as colored and opaque. However, in a display mode in which the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR are closed so as to face each other, the left character string image LGL is specified. The end face LGLa and the specific end face LGRa of the right-side character string image LGR are expressed in a mode having transparency. Here, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are transparent areas.

  In a display mode in which the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR are closed so as to face each other, a predetermined image that should not be present in the background image is transparent to the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL. And the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right-side character string image LGR.

  Here, two character bodies CRA and CRB are used as the "predetermined image", and the two character bodies CRA and CRB are still images in which they face each other with a sword, and show the world view of the production by the gaming machine 1. Even if the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are gradually closed so that the display mode is closed so that the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and overlap each other, The positions of the two character bodies CRA and CRB do not change, and the distance dimension and size between them do not change. The character body CRB can be visually recognized on the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, and the character body CRA can be visually recognized on the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR.

  When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are shortly closed so that the display mode is closed so that the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and overlap each other, The transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are small, and the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR It is difficult to notice that the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa is transparent, but as the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are closed, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL is closed. When the transparent area and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR become large, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL becomes large. Can visually recognize the portion of Luo character body CRB, it is possible to visually recognize a portion of the character body CRA from a particular end surface LGRa of the right character string image LGR.

  When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are closed until the display mode is closed so that the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and overlap each other, FIG. As shown in the figure, the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL becomes large until the presence of the character body CRB can be visually recognized, and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR. Becomes large until the presence of the character body CRA can be visually recognized.

  As shown in FIG. 103 (H), a flash image FH in which light is emitted from the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 103 (I), the character body CRB visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparent body of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are displayed. The character body CRA visually recognized through the area is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, and an action effect by the two character bodies CRA and CRB is developed. At this time, in addition to the character body CRB visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the character body CRA visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR. The background images of the two character bodies CRA and CRB are also displayed large on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7.

  The action effect is developed, and the left decorative symbol 8L, the middle decorative symbol 8C, and the right decorative symbol 8R are stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 together with the same symbol (here, the numeral “9”). And a jackpot game (jackpot effect) in which the player becomes a jackpot and a profit is given to the player, while the left decorative symbol 8L is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 with the number “9”, If the middle decorative pattern 8C is the number “8” and the right decorative pattern 8R is the number “9” and the same pattern (here, the number “9”) is stopped and displayed without being aligned, the loss is confirmed and displayed.

In the second effect, the character string image “OARO” written on the front surface of the second movable role object 15 (movable member) is displayed as a character string image LG of a colored opaque stereoscopic image “OARO”. Has become. According to this configuration, when the second movable role 15 (movable member) operates at a predetermined timing and moves to the advance position (predetermined position), this triggers the second movable role 15 (movable member). Is displayed on the image display device 7 (display means) as a character string image LG of a colored opaque stereoscopic image of "OARO" written on the front of the second movable object 15 (movable). A state in which the character string “OARO” written on the front surface of the (member) is shaken off from the second movable role 15 (movable member) to the image display device 7 (display means). Since a novel effect can be performed, the player can be visually enjoyed and the interest can be improved. The same applies to the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic images in FIGS. 103 (C) to 103 (D).

[Modification]
Hereinafter, modified examples of the specific end face effect of the stereoscopic image will be described.
[Modification 1]
In the specific end face effect A of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 101, the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative pattern 8CR are transparent areas, and the specific end face effect B of the three-dimensional image in FIG. In the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image in FIG. 103, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are transparent regions. However, the specific end faces 8CLa and 8CRa in the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image in FIG. 101, the specific end faces LGLa and LGRa in the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image in FIG. 102, and the specific end face LGLa in the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image in FIG. , LGRa only need to have translucency, and may have translucency such as frosted glass. In this case, for example, the specific end surface is represented by a mode having a light-transmitting property such as frosted glass, and from a blurred mode in which the predetermined image cannot be clearly seen through the specific end surface, the specific end surface gradually becomes a transparent region. As the transparency increases, the predetermined image may be easily viewed through the specific end face. Even with such a configuration, the player can be visually enjoyed, and the interest can be improved.
[Modification 2]
In the specific end face effect A of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 101, the specific end face effect B of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 102, and the specific end face effect C of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 103, two character bodies CRA as predetermined images are passed through the specific end face of the three-dimensional image. , CRB, and was a still image in which two character bodies CRA, CRB faced each other with a sword. However, a moving image may be used instead of a still image. The moving image may be, for example, a description of a flow until two character bodies CRA and CRB face each other with a sword, may be a moving image by three-dimensional CG, may be a moving image by animation, or may be a moving image of a movie. It may be one scene.

[Modification 3]
In the specific end face effect A of the three-dimensional image of FIG. 101, the specific end face effect B of the three-dimensional image of FIG. 102, and the specific end face effect C of the three-dimensional image of FIG. 103, the three-dimensional image is divided into two three-dimensional images. However, the image may be divided into three or more three-dimensional images. This increases the number of stereoscopic images due to the division, thereby increasing the number of specific end faces in each stereoscopic image. As a result, there are many opportunities to visually recognize a predetermined image through the transparent specific end face. It can be given to a player.

[Modification 4]
In the specific end face effect A of the three-dimensional image of FIG. 101, the left middle decorative pattern 8CL and the right middle decorative pattern 8CR are gradually opened in a double-sided manner, and in the specific end face effect B of the three-dimensional image of FIG. 102, the left character string image LGL and the right side are displayed. A display mode in which the character string image LGR is gradually opened in the double-sided opening mode and the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other in the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image in FIG. Thus, the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are gradually closed. However, the stereoscopic images may be rotated in the same direction or in mutually different directions. For example, in the specific end face effect A of the three-dimensional image of FIG. 101, the left middle decorative design 8CL and the right middle decorative design 8CR are rotated in the same direction without the double-sided opening configuration (for example, a right-rotating configuration, a left-rotating configuration, Forward rotation, backward rotation, etc.), or rotation in different directions, for example, while the left middle decorative pattern 8CL is rotated forward, whereas the right middle decorative pattern 8CR is rotated backward. Or the mode in which the left middle decorative pattern 8CL is rotated backward, while the mode in which the right middle decorative pattern 8CR is rotated clockwise. In the specific end face effect B of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 102, the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are rotated in the same direction (for example, a right-handed rotation mode, a left-handed rotation mode) Forward rotation, backward rotation, etc.) or rotation in different directions, for example, the left character string image LGL may be rotated forward, while the right character string image LGR may be rotated backward. Or the right character string image LGR is rotated right while the left character string image LGL is rotated backward. In the specific end effect C of the stereoscopic image in FIG. 103, the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are rotated in the same direction without setting the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR to be closed. (For example, a clockwise rotation mode, a left rotation mode, a forward rotation mode, a rearward rotation mode, etc.), or a rotation in different directions, for example, a front rotation of the left character string image LGL. In contrast, the right character string image LGR may be rotated backward, or the left character string image LGR may be rotated backward, whereas the right character string image LGR may be rotated right.

[Modification 5]
In the specific end face effect A of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 101, the specific end face effect B of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 102, and the specific end face effect C of the three-dimensional image in FIG. 103, an effect by the gaming machine 1 as a predetermined image through the specific end face of the three-dimensional image. It showed a world view of the world. However, it may indicate a development destination of the reach production.
