When the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the ordinary lottery random number value from the random number generation means 210, the ordinary lottery means 220 obtains the ordinary lottery random value if none of the ordinary hold storage area 1 to the ordinary hold storage area 4 stores the ordinary lottery random value. First, the random number for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area 1. Then, when the random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area 1, the normal symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the random number for normal lottery is not stored in the normal reserved storage area. When the control for opening the ordinary movable member 54 of the ordinary accessory 55 is not being executed, the random number for ordinary lottery is immediately read from the ordinary reserved storage area 1 to perform ordinary lottery, and the ordinary lottery is conducted normally. The random number value for lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area. On the other hand, whether the normal symbol is being variably displayed or stopped, that is, whether the random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area, or the normal movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is opened. If it is being executed, the random number for normal lottery is reserved in the normal suspension storage area 1.

Then, when the detection signal is further input from the passage gate sensor 104 in the state where the normal lottery random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1 and the normal lottery random number value is acquired, the normal lottery means 220 , On the condition that the number of random numbers for ordinary lottery held in the ordinary reserved storage area 1 to the ordinary reserved storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, the ordinary reserved number is less than 4, Of the ordinary reserved storage areas 1 to 4, the ordinary lottery random values are stored in the ordinary reserved storage areas where the ordinary lottery random number values are not reserved and which have the smallest ordinal numbers.

Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 erases the random number for normal lottery stored in the ordinary reserved storage area when the variable display and the stop display of the ordinary symbols are completed, and the random number for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area 1. If it is on hold, the random number for normal lottery is read from the normal hold storage area 1 and the normal lottery is performed on condition that the control for opening the normal movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed. The random number for ordinary lottery that has been subjected to ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area. Here, when the random number for normal lottery remains in the ordinary reserved storage area 2 and thereafter, the remaining ordinary random number value for ordinary lottery is the ordinary reserved storage area whose ordinal number is one smaller than the original ordinary reserved storage area. Move to. For example, when the random number for normal lottery remains in the normal reserved storage area 2 to the normal reserved storage area 3, it is moved to the normal reserved storage area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 2.

In this way, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, the ordinary lottery random number value for which the ordinary lottery has been performed is retained with the upper limit of one in the ordinary suspension storage area, and the ordinary lottery random value for which the ordinary lottery has not been performed is normally retained for storage In the area 1 to the normally reserved storage area 4, the upper limit of 4 is reserved.

The details of the ordinary lottery will be described below. The ordinary lottery means 220 performs an ordinary winning determination process, an ordinary variation pattern determination process, etc. as an ordinary lottery.

The regular hit determination process is a process of determining whether or not the regular hit is successful. In the normal-winning determination process, which ordinary-lottery table among the plurality of types of ordinary-lottery tables stored in the lottery-table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 is referred to for the random number determination process. Is determined according to the game state.

In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the ordinary lottery table A and the ordinary lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. In each ordinary lottery table, each of the 100 ordinary lottery random numbers 0 to 99 is stored. On the other hand, normal hit or loss is associated. Specifically, in the ordinary lottery table A, the correspondence relation between the ordinary win or the loss and the plurality of random number values is set so that the ordinary win is won with a probability of about 13/20, and in the ordinary lottery table B, about 19/ Correspondence is set between the normal win or the loss and the random number for the normal lottery of 0 to 99 so that the normal win is won with a probability of 20. Then, the normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the game state is the normal state or the special state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the game state is the probability change state or the time saving state. ..

Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to the selected ordinary lottery table to check whether or not one ordinary lottery random number value read from the ordinary reserved storage area 1 of the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is associated with the ordinary hit. By judging, it is judged whether or not the normal winning is won.

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

The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of a plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the normal symbol is according to the game state. In the normal fluctuation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220, when the gaming state is the normal state or the special state, determines the variation pattern of the normal symbol to be the normal variation pattern 1, and the gaming state is the positive variation state or the time saving state. In some cases, the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is determined as the ordinary variation pattern 2.

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

In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display section 72 until the variation time according to the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol determined in the ordinary variation pattern determination process elapses. By variably displaying the normal symbol by doing so, depending on whether or not the normal hit has been won in the normal hit determination process, by stopping or displaying the normal symbol by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display portion 72 The result of the ordinary lottery is displayed on the ordinary symbol display portion 72.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 1, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 2 seconds, and when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 2, Ordinary symbol variation time is set to 0.5 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game state at the time of the ordinary lottery is the normal state or the special state, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is determined by the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol being the ordinary variation pattern 1. Set to 2 seconds, if the game state at the time of the ordinary lottery is the probability change state or the time saving state, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is determined by the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol to be the ordinary variation pattern 2. Since it is set to 0.5 seconds, the opportunity to execute the normal lottery comes to be more frequent when the gaming state is the probable variation state or the time saving state.

In the normal hold display control process, the normal display control unit 222 turns on or off or blinks the two lamps of the normal hold display unit 74 according to the number of the random number for normal lottery stored in the normal random number storage unit 2912. Depending on the combination of doing, 0-4 ordinary reserved numbers are displayed.

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

In the normal accessory control process 1, when the gaming state is the normal state or the special state, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode showing the winning of the normal hit until the three seconds elapse, the normal accessory The drive control of the normal accessory drive device 122 is performed so that 55 is returned to the closed state after being opened.

In the normal accessory control process 2, when the gaming state is the probability change state or the time saving state, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode showing the winning of the normal hit until the 5 seconds elapse The drive control of the normal accessory drive device 122 is performed so that 55 is returned to the closed state after being opened.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the normal accessory control process 2 causes the normal accessory 55 to operate more easily than the normal accessory control process 1 so that the game ball can easily enter the second start winning port 53. To do.

The special lottery means 230 is for the special lottery from the random number generating means 210, based on the detection signal being input from the first starting winning opening sensor 106 that detects the game balls entering the first starting winning opening 46 one by one. The random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 as the first special random number value. In addition, the special lottery means 230 receives the detection signal from the second start winning opening sensor 108 which detects the game balls entering the second starting winning opening 53 one by one, and the special lottery means 210 selects the special drawing. The special random number value for use is acquired and stored in the special random number storage means 2914 as the second special random number value.

In a corresponding mode, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the second special symbol display unit 80.

In the first special suspension display control process, the special display control unit 240 lights the two lamps of the first special suspension display unit 78 according to the number of the first special random number values stored in the special random number storage unit 2914. Alternatively, the first special reserved number of 0 to 4 is displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

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

As shown in FIG. 12, the game state transition control means 250 switches the game state among the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the time saving state while passing through the special game state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. The game state transfer control process to be transferred is performed.

The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and if a big hit is won in a special lottery in the normal state, the state is shifted to the special game state. And in the normal state, as shown in FIG. 3(B) and the like, for the ordinary lottery, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 13/20, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 2 seconds, and the normal winning combination is set. The opening time of the object 55 is set to 3 seconds, and it is more difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 53 than in the probability changing state and the time saving state.

And about the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, while the variation time of the first special symbol is the variation time according to the number of holdings, the variation time of the second special symbol is 591 seconds. Since it often becomes extremely long, the normal state is a gaming state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit left so that the game ball enters the first start winning opening 46.

The special gaming state is started based on the fact that the jackpot is won in the special lottery in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the time saving state, and the special number of rounds (number of executions) that is predetermined according to the type of the jackpot symbol is executed. When the game is executed, it ends.

Specifically, in the special lottery, when the special game state is started on the basis that one of the 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol K and the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B is won, The special game state ends on the condition that the 16-round special game from the 1st round to the 16th round has been executed.

In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the 2nd round probability variation symbol or the 2nd round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, the condition that the 2nd round special game of the 1st round to the 2nd round has been executed The special game state ends.

The probability variation state is 16 round probability variation pattern A ~ 16 round probability variation pattern D, 16 round probability variation pattern F ~ 16 round probability variation pattern K, the special game state started based on the winning of any of 2 round probability variation pattern is finished It is started on the occasion of doing, and when the big hit is won in the special lottery in the probability variation state, the state is shifted to the special game state. And in the probability change state, as shown in FIG. 3(B) and the like, for the ordinary lottery, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 19/20, and the variation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 0.5 seconds, The opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, and the frequency of controlling the normal accessory 55 to the open state is higher than that in the normal state and the special state, and the period is longer. Since the passing gate 48 is provided so that the game ball falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 passes through the passing gate 48 with a high probability as described above, the probability of the liquid crystal display 32 is reduced. Most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side enter the second starting winning opening 53.

And in the probability variation state, for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the variation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short at 1 to 2 seconds, so the probability variation state is It is a game state in which it is advantageous for the player to hit the ball right so that the game ball enters the second start winning hole 53. In the probability variation state, the winning probability of the small winning is set to about 1/3 for the special lottery, but most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second starting winning opening 53, so the small winning Even if the winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second special winning opening 56.

The probability variation state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery has been performed in the probability variation state reaches a predetermined number of times, and the state is shifted to the special state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the prescribed number of times is 100 times, 80 times, 60 times, 40 times, 20 times or once for each of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern K and the 2 round probability variation pattern. Predetermined in any one, when the special game state started based on the winning of each probability variation pattern is finished, the game state transition control means 250, the value corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each probability variation pattern ( For example, 80) is written in the prescribed number counter 2930 of the main memory 290. Then, each time a special lottery is performed in the probability variation state, decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of games from the specified number of times counter 2930, and the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is stored. When the threshold value (for example, 0) is reached, the probability variation state is ended and the special state is started.

The special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variation state reaches a prescribed number, or when the special game state started based on the fact that the 16 round probability variation symbol E is won, etc. is finished, If you win the jackpot in the special lottery in the special state, the special game state is entered. And in the special state, as shown in FIG. 3(B), for the ordinary lottery, as in the ordinary state, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 13/20, and the variation time of the ordinary symbol is 2 seconds. , The opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 3 seconds, and the frequency of controlling the normal accessory 55 to be in the open state is lower than that in the definite change state and the time saving state. Of the game balls falling on the right-side game area 4, many game balls pass through the right passage 52 without entering the second start winning hole 53, but if the player continues to hit the right ball, the number of held balls will be reduced. The game ball enters the second starting winning opening 53 to the extent that the 2 special random number value does not run out.

And in the special state, for the special lottery, like the probability variation state, the winning probability of the jackpot is set to a high value of about 1/50, and the variation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short at 1 to 2 seconds. , The winning probability of the small hit is set to be extremely high at about 1/2, and the small hit game is frequently executed. Therefore, the game ball that has passed through the right passage 52 without entering the second starting winning opening 53. Can easily enter the second big winning opening 56. Therefore, the special state is a gaming state in which it is advantageous for the player to hit the ball so that the gaming ball enters the second special winning opening 56.

If the special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variation state reaches the specified number, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variation state and the special state is set as the probability variation number in advance. If the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state is preset as the probability variation number, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state is predetermined when the game is finished on the condition that the predetermined number of 10,000 times has been reached, and on the other hand, when the special game state is finished. The operation is ended on the condition that the number of times reached 10,000 times is reached, and the normal state is entered. In detail, the game state transition control means 250 stores the main memory 290 when shifting the game state to the probability changing state after the end of the special game state, or when shifting the game state to the special state after ending the special game state. A value (for example, 10000) corresponding to 10000 times is written to the probability variation counter 2931 as the specified number of times, and each time the special lottery is performed in the probability variation state or the special state, it corresponds to one game number from the stored value of the probability variation number counter 2931. Decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) to be performed. When the stored value of the probability variation counter 2931 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the special state is ended and the normal state is started. However, in the special state, the winning probability of the jackpot in the special lottery is set to about 1/50, so the jackpot is won and the special game is won before the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variation state or the special state reaches 10,000 times. The state is almost always started, and the special state rarely transits to the normal state. That is, the special state is substantially continued until the jackpot is won.

The time saving state is started by the termination of the special game state started based on the fact that one of the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B and the 2 round normal symbol is won, and the special in the time saving state If you win the jackpot by lottery, it will be moved to the special game state. Then, in the time saving state, as shown in FIG. 3(B) and the like, for the ordinary lottery, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 19/20, and the variation time of the ordinary symbol is 0. Since it is set to 5 seconds and the opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 enter the second starting winning opening 53. It has become.

And about special lottery, although the winning probability of the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, since the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short at 1 second to 2 seconds, the time saving state is 2 It is in a gaming state that it is advantageous for the player to hit the ball right so that the gaming ball enters the starting winning hole 53. And in the time saving state, the winning probability of the small hit is set to about 1/3 for the special lottery, but since most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second starting winning opening 53, Even if the winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second special winning opening 56.

The time-saving state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery has been performed in the time-saving state reaches a predetermined number of times set in advance, and shifts to the normal state. In detail, in the present embodiment, the prescribed number of times for the 16-round normal symbol A is set to 80 times, and the prescribed number of times for the 16-round normal symbol B is set to 60 times, and each regular symbol is won. When the special game state started based on is finished, the game state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 80) corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each normal symbol in the specified number of times counter 2930. Then, each time the special lottery is performed in the time saving state, decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times the game is played from the value stored in the specified number counter 2930, and the value stored in the specified number counter 2930 is changed. When the threshold value (for example, 0) is reached, the time saving state is ended and the normal state is started.

FIG. 13A shows that each of the 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol E, 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B which can be won in the special lottery for the first special random number value is in the normal state, It is a diagram showing a prescribed number determination table A for determining the prescribed number of times after the end of the special gaming state when winning in each of the probability variation state, the special state and the time saving state.

As shown in FIG. 13(A), in the specified number-of-times determination table A, the specified number of times for the 16-round certainty-variable symbol A is whether the winning is in the normal state, the certainty variation state, the special state, or the time saving state. It is decided to be 80 times.

Further, for the 16 round probability variation pattern B, the prescribed number of the probability variation state after the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times, regardless of whether the player wins in any of the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state and the time saving state. ..

Further, for the 16-round probability variation pattern C, whether in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state, in any case, the prescribed number of the probability variation state after the special game state is determined to be 40 times. ..

Further, for the 16 round probability variation pattern D, the prescribed number of the probability variation state after the special gaming state is ended is determined to be 20 times, regardless of whether the winning is in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state or the time saving state. ..

In addition, for the 16 round probability variation symbol E, the regular number is not determined regardless of whether the winning is in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state, because the special game state is transitioned to after the special game state ends. ..

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol A, the prescribed number of the time saving state after the special game state is determined to be 80 times, regardless of whether the winning is in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state. ..

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol B, the specified number of times for saving time after the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the saving time state. ..

FIG. 13(B) is a 16 round probability variation symbol E to 16 round probability variation symbol K, 2 round probability variation symbol, 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B, which can be won in the special lottery for the second special random number value. When each of the round normal symbols is won in each of the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the time saving state, it is a diagram showing a prescribed number determination table B for determining the prescribed number of times after the end of the special gaming state. ..

As shown in FIG. 13(B), in the specified number of times determination table B, for the 16 round probability variation symbol F, in the case of winning in the normal state, the probability variation state or the time saving state, the probability variation state after the end of the special game state The prescribed number of times is determined to be 100, and when the special state is won, the prescribed number of probability variation states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times.

Further, for the 16 round probability variation symbol G, when the regular state is won, the prescribed number of the probability variation state after the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and when the winning is performed in the probability variation state or the time saving state, The specified number of probability variation states after the end of the game state is determined to be 80 times, and when the special state is won, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

In addition, for the 16 round probability variation pattern H, if the regular state is won, the specified number of the probability variation state after the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if the probability variation state, the special state or the time saving state is won. The predetermined number of probability variation states after the special game state is finished is determined to be 60 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation symbol I, if the winning in the normal state, the prescribed number of the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and if the winning in the probability variation state or the time saving state, it is special. The specified number of times of the probability variation state after the end of the game state is determined to be 40 times, but if the special state is won, the specified number of times is not determined because the special state is transferred after the end of the special game state.

Further, for the 16 round probability variation pattern J, if the winning in the normal state is won, the specified number of the probability variation state after the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if the probability variation state or the time saving state is won, The specified number of times of the probability variation state after the end of the game state is determined to be 20, but when the special state is won, the specified number of times is not determined because the special state is transitioned to after the end of the special game state.

Further, for the 16 round probability variation pattern K, if the winning in the normal state, the prescribed number of the probability variation state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if the winning in the probability variation state or the time saving state, it is special. The specified number of probability variation states after the end of the gaming state is determined to be 1, but when the special state is won, the specified number of times is not determined because the special state is transferred after the end of the special gaming state.

In addition, for the 16 round probability variation symbol E, the regular number is not determined regardless of whether the winning is in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state, because the special game state is transitioned to after the special game state ends. ..

In addition, for the two-round probability variation pattern, whether in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state, the predetermined number of the probability variation state after the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol A, the prescribed number of the time saving state after the special game state is determined to be 80 times, regardless of whether the winning is in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state. ..

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol B, the specified number of times for saving time after the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the saving time state. ..

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the gaming state is shifted between the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the time saving state while passing through the special gaming state. And since the normal state, which is the initial state, is the game state in which left-handedness should be performed as described above, special lottery is basically performed for the first special random number value in the normal state, but the jackpot in the normal state is a big hit. If any of the 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol is won, and the special game state ends, the state is changed to the probability variation state. In this case, the prescribed number determination table A shown in FIG. 13(A) is referred to, and is the prescribed number when any of the 16-round probability variation symbol A to 16-round probability variation symbol D is won in the normal state. The number of times, 60 times, 40 times or 20 times is set as the specified number of times of the probability variation state.

And the probability variation state is a gaming state where right-handing should be performed as described above, and unlike the normal state, basically a special lottery is performed for the second special random number value, and in the probability variation state, the jackpot is not won. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the specified number of times corresponding to each probability variation pattern, the special state is entered.

On the other hand, when the jackpot is won in the normal state and any one of the 16-round normal symbol A to 16-round normal symbol B is won, the special game state is finished and the time-saving state is shifted to. In this case, the prescribed number determination table A shown in FIG. 13(A) is referred to, and the prescribed number of times when any one of 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B is won in the normal state is the prescribed number of times 80. The number of times or 60 times is set as the specified number of times in the time saving state.

And the time saving state is a gaming state where right-handing should be performed as described above, and basically the special lottery is performed for the second special random number value as in the probability variation state, and in the time saving state, the jackpot is not won. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the prescribed number of times corresponding to each normal symbol, the state is shifted to the normal state.

And the special state is a gaming state in which right-handing should be performed as described above, and basically the special lottery is performed for the second special random number value as in the probability variation state and the time saving state, and the small hit game is frequently performed. As a result, since the normal accessory 55 is controlled to be in the open state less frequently than the probability variation state and the time saving state, and the period in which the normal accessory 55 is controlled to the open state is shorter, the second special winning opening 56 Since it is easy for the game balls to enter, the more the small hits are won and the smaller hits are won, the more game balls can be acquired by the small hit game.

In the special state, if the jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol E and the 16-round probability variation symbol I to 16-round probability variation symbol K is won, the special game state is transitioned to again after the special game state ends. ..

On the other hand, if the jackpot is won in the special state and one of the 16 round probability variation symbol F to 16 round probability variation symbol H and the 2 round probability variation symbol is won, it is shifted to the probability variation state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the prescribed number determination table B shown in FIG. 13B is referred to, and in the special state, one of the 16-round probability variation symbol F to 16-round probability variation symbol H and the 2-round probability variation symbol is won. The specified number of times, 60 times, is set as the specified number of times of the probability variation state.

If the jackpot is won in the special state and one of the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B and 2 round normal symbols is won, the special game state is shifted to the time saving state. In this case, the prescribed number determination table B shown in FIG. 13(B) is referred to, and in the special state, one of 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B and 2 round normal symbols is won. The specified number of times, 80 times or 60 times, is set as the specified number of times in the time saving state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the special state and the special game state are repeated as long as one of the 16 round probability variation symbol E and the 16 round probability variation symbol I to 16 round probability variation symbol K is won in the special state, and the small hit in the special state. By the game, many game balls can be acquired by the special game in the special game state.

The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 2 and the like.

The special game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that one of the 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol K and the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means. 260 sets a value (for example, 16) corresponding to 16 times which is the predetermined number of rounds for the 16 round probability variation symbol and the 16 round normal symbol as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290, and for each round Every time the first special accessory 51 completes its operation in a predetermined mode in the special game, an increment update is performed to add a value (eg, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round to the stored value of the round counter 2933. To do. When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 16), the special game state ends.

Specifically, in the special game execution process 1, in the special game of each round of the first round to the 16th round, the open timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened. Or, when the first special winning opening sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added, and the value of the big prize number counter 2936 is the upper limit value. When reaching (for example, 10), the drive control of the first special accessory drive device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, assuming that the condition for ending one round is satisfied, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The special game execution processing 2 is executed based on the fact that the 2 round probability variation symbol or the 2 round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 has the 2 round probability variation symbol and 2 rounds as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value (for example, 2) corresponding to a predetermined number of rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the normal symbols, and every time the first special accessory 51 completes the operation in a predetermined mode in the special game of each round. Then, an increment update is performed to add a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round to the stored value of the round counter 2933. When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 2), the special game state ends.

Specifically, in the special game execution processing 2, in the special game of each round of the first round to the second round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened, or When the value of the winning number counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, assuming that the condition for ending one round is satisfied, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The small hit game execution means 262 is a means for executing a small hit game based on the fact that a small hit has been won in the special lottery, and performs small hit game execution processing 1 to small hit game execution processing 2 and the like.

The small hitting game execution process 1 is executed based on the small hitting pattern A being won in the special lottery, and in the small hitting game execution process 1, the small hitting game executing means 262 is the first in the small hitting game of one round. The drive control of the second special accessory drive device 126 is performed so that the second special accessory 58 is closed only once 0.8 seconds have passed after the second special accessory 58 was opened. To do.

Then, when the second special winning opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the special winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 58 completes the operation according to the small hit game execution process 1, or when the value of the big prize number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is considered that the ending condition of the small hit game of one round is satisfied. , The small hit game ends.

The small hitting game execution process 2 is executed based on that the small hitting pattern B is won in the special lottery, and in the small hitting game execution process 2, the small hitting game executing means 262 is the first in the small hitting game of one round. The drive control of the second special accessory drive device 126 is performed such that the operation of closing the second special accessory 58 in the closed state after 0.8 seconds has elapsed is repeated 14 times. I do.

Then, when the second special winning opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the special winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 58 completes the operation by the small hitting game execution process 2 or the value of the big prize number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is considered that the ending condition of the small hitting game for one round is satisfied. , The small hit game ends.

The payout control means 270, the detection signal from the first start winning hole sensor 106, the detection signal from the second starting winning hole sensor 108, the detection signal from the first big winning hole sensor 110, the second big winning hole sensor 112. Based on the detection signal being input, the control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to the number of award balls that is predetermined for each detection signal. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command to the payout device 130 to pay out four game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects a win of one game ball, and the second Every time the start winning hole sensor 108 detects the winning of one game ball, a command for paying out one game ball to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the first special winning hole sensor 110 outputs one game ball. Each time the winning a prize is detected, a command for paying out 15 game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the payout device 130 is detected every time the second special winning opening sensor 112 detects a prize for one game ball. Sends a command to pay out 15 game balls.

The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the game balls of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 270. This payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank for storing the game balls, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor to provide the number of game balls as instructed. Let it be paid out from the game ball tank. Further, the payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates each time one gaming ball is paid out, and the payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on a payout signal from the payout sensor 116. It is possible to manage the number of game balls that have been released.

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

Further, the communication control means 280 is a hall computer 140 that is a computer that centrally manages the gaming machines installed in the gaming hall, a data counter 142 that is individually connected to the gaming machines and that displays information regarding the gaming history of the gaming machines. The external device 144 is controlled to output an external signal. Specifically, the communication control means 280 outputs, to the hall computer 140 and the data counter 142, a first external signal notifying that the special lottery has been performed every time the special lottery is performed, and the jackpot is awarded in the special lottery. When winning, a second external signal for notifying that the jackpot is won is output each time the special game is executed.

Then, when the first external signal is output, the number of special lottery in the gaming machine is updated and displayed on the hall computer 140 and the data counter 142, and when the second external signal is output, the hall computer 140 and the data are output. On the counter 142, the number of winnings of the big hit in the game machine is updated and displayed.

Subsequently, the sub-board 102 will be described. The sub-board 102 is configured to include an effect control unit 300 and a sub-memory 310.

The effect control means 300 displays an effect based on various commands transmitted from the main board 100, an input signal from the effect button switch 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub memory 310. The device 170 is controlled to turn on or off the effect lamps such as the front frame lamp 12, the display frame lamp 38 and the specific lamp 39, the effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the sound output device 172 is controlled to control the speaker. Production for boosting the game or assisting the game by controlling the production device 176 such as outputting a production sound from 14, or operating the production by driving the production driving device 174. Is performed by the rendering device 176.

In particular, the effect data storage unit 3110 stores a large number of effect image data for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect control unit 300, based on these effect image data, 1 frame (1/ An image is drawn in the frame buffer of the sub memory 310 every 60 seconds, and the drawn image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, thereby reproducing and displaying the moving image on the liquid crystal display 32.

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

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

For example, when the current game state is the special state, the effect control unit 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display an image indicating that the current game state is the special state, and the current game state is the probability changed state or In the case of the time saving state, the liquid crystal display 32 displays an image showing that the current game state is the probability changing state or the time saving state.

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

In the special lottery effect process, when the preliminary determination process is performed on the main board 100, the effect control unit 300 performs the effect lottery to temporarily determine the effect content of the special lottery effect based on the command according to the result of the advance determination, When the special lottery is performed on the main board 100, the effect lottery for finally determining the effect contents of the special lottery effect is performed based on the command according to the result of the special lottery. Then, to match the variable display and stop display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76, or to match the variable display and stop display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80, special The lottery effect is executed by the effect device 176.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control unit 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 14(A), and the left effect symbol is displayed on the front side of the background image. 350, the middle effect design 352 and the right effect design 354 are displayed. Then, the effect control means 300 reads the first special random number value from the first special reserved storage area 1 and performs the special lottery, with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76. Or, every time the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, with the start of the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display portion 80, FIG. As shown in (B), after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are variably displayed, whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery. In a mode according to, and in the case of winning the jackpot, in a mode according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are stopped and displayed, and By changing the background image on the liquid crystal display 32 or reproducing and displaying the effect moving image in which the character image operates, a special lottery effect according to the type of effect pattern can be displayed in a manner corresponding to each of the effect patterns of different types. This is executed on the liquid crystal display 32. It should be noted that the downward arrow in the figure indicates that each of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is being variably displayed at high speed.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 determines that a random number value for the effect lottery is generated based on the command according to the result of the preliminary determination or the command according to the result of the special lottery input from the main board 100. , A plurality of types of random number values such as a first half effect pattern determination random number value and a second half effect pattern determination random number value are acquired, and the first half effect pattern determination process and the second half effect pattern determination process are performed as effect lottery.

The first-half effect pattern determination process determines which of the plurality of kinds of first-half effect patterns the first-half effect pattern corresponding to the first-half part of the special lottery effect is to be based on the acquired one first-half effect pattern determination random value. It is a process to do. Then, in the first-half effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of first-half effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub-memory 310 is referred to for the random number determination process? Is selected according to the first-half variation pattern determined in the first-half variation pattern determination processing.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first half effect pattern is stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 in correspondence with the case where the result of the first half change pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the first half change pattern 1 to the first half change pattern 9. Nine types of first half effect pattern lottery tables, that is, lottery table A to first half effect pattern lottery table I are stored (not shown). In each of the first half effect pattern lottery tables, one of a plurality of kinds of first half effect patterns is associated with each of the 100 first half effect pattern determination random numbers 0 to 99. When the result of the first-half variation pattern determination process is the first-half variation pattern 1, the effect control unit 300 selects the first-half production pattern lottery table A, and when the result of the first-half variation pattern determination process is the first-half variation pattern 2. For example, the first half effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and the first half effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half change pattern determined in the first half change pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control unit 300 refers to the selected first-half effect pattern lottery table to determine which one of the first-half effect pattern determination random numbers is associated with one of the first-half effect pattern determination random number patterns, thereby determining a plurality of types. One first half effect pattern is determined from the first half effect pattern of.

In the latter half effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired one latter half effect pattern determination random number value, it is determined whether the latter half effect pattern corresponding to the latter half part of the special lottery effect is to be one of a plurality of types of latter half effect patterns. It is a process to do. Then, in the latter half effect pattern determination processing, the effect control means 300 determines which of the plurality of types of the latter half effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 is used to perform the random number determination processing, the latter half variation. The selection is made according to the latter half variation pattern determined in the pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, corresponding to the case where the result of the latter half variation pattern determination processing on the main board 100 is each of reachless variation pattern 1 to reachless variation pattern 3 and reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5. In the production lottery table storage means 3112, eight types of the latter half production pattern lottery tables of the latter half production pattern lottery table A to the latter half production pattern lottery table H are stored (not shown). In each of the second half effect pattern lottery tables, a plurality of types of reach-less effect patterns (non-winning mode) and a plurality of kinds are selected as a plurality of kinds of second half effect patterns for each of the 100 second half effect pattern determination random values of 0 to 99. One of the reach production patterns (common mode) is associated. When the result of the latter half variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control unit 300 selects the latter half effect pattern lottery table A and the result of the latter half variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern 1. In this case, the latter half effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and so on, the latter half effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the latter half fluctuation pattern determined in the latter half fluctuation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control unit 300 refers to the selected latter half effect pattern lottery table, and which one of the plurality of kinds of reachless effect patterns and the plurality of kinds of reach effect patterns is associated with one latter half effect pattern determination random value. Therefore, one reach-less effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined from the plurality of kinds of reach effect patterns and the plurality of reach effect patterns.

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

Further, the effect time is set for each of the plurality of types of reach effect patterns and the plurality of reach effect patterns, and the effect time of the plurality of reach effect effects patterns that can be determined by the latter half effect pattern lottery table A is: All are set to the same 1 second as the variation time of the reachless variation pattern 1, and the production times of the plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by the second half production pattern lottery table E are the same as the variation time of the reach variation pattern 1. The same 20 seconds is set, and so on, the production time of a plurality of types of reach-less effect patterns or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by each second-half effect pattern lottery table corresponds to each second-half effect pattern lottery table. It is set to be the same as the variation time of the reachless variation pattern or the reach variation pattern.

Then, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect according to the start of the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80. The execution time is started, and the total production time of the production time according to the first half production pattern determined by the first production pattern determination process and the production time according to the second half production pattern determined by the second production pattern determination process is a special production time. Execute lottery production. Thereby, the variation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80, and the effect time of the special lottery effect are synchronized.

For example, in the case of losing in the jackpot determination process, if the reach-less effect pattern is determined in the latter half effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit in the first special symbol display unit 76. With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in 80, as shown in FIG. 14B, the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and FIG. ), first, the left effect design 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed so as to slightly sway without being completely stopped in any mode (a mode showing “5” in FIG. 14C), and thereafter, As shown in FIG. 14(D), the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from the left effect design 350.

Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. 14(E), the medium effect symbol 352 is The left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from that of the right effect design 354 (a mode where the characters are misaligned), and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped. At approximately the same timing as displayed, as shown in FIG. 14(F), each of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is completely stopped in a different mode (unbalanced mode). The fixed stop is displayed on.

Further, for example, in the case of winning the jackpot in the jackpot determination process, or in the case of losing in the jackpot determination process, if the reach effect pattern is determined in the latter half effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol display unit With the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80, as shown in FIG. 15(A), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect. The variable display of the design 354 is started, as shown in FIG. 15(B), first, the left effect design 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15(C), the middle effect design 352 is variably displayed. As it is, the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner (reach manner) as the left effect design 350. Then, as shown in FIG. 15D, the reproduction display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit 80 in the first special symbol display unit 76 is started. The reproduction display of the effect movie is ended within the variation time of the second special symbol in.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 15(D), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the effect movie in which the main character A fights the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed, and this effect movie is reproduced and displayed. In this case, instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect symbol 350 corresponds to the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. The reduced left effect design 360, the reduced middle effect symbol 362 corresponding to the middle effect symbol 352, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 corresponding to the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 15(D), the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner (reach manner), while the reduced effect symbol 362 is variably displayed.

When the jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 15(E), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, an effect movie in which the main character A wins the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed, and In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduction effect production 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner (the big hit manner) as the reduced left production design 360 and the reduced right production design 364, so that the big hit is won. The player is temporarily notified.

Then, the effect movie in which the main character A wins over the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 15(F), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect design 350 temporarily displayed and the middle effect are displayed. After the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, as shown in FIG. 15(G). In addition to being displayed, the speaker 14 outputs a sound effect for notifying the player that the jackpot has been won, so that the player is definitely notified that the jackpot has been won.

On the other hand, in the case where the jackpot is not won, as shown in FIG. 15(H), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, a production video in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B is played and In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduction effect representation 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from the reduction left performance design 360 and the reduction right performance design 364 (reach loss mode), which causes a loss. The player is temporarily notified.

Then, the video in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 15(I), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect design 350 and the middle effect design that are temporarily stopped are displayed. After the 352 and the right effect design 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 15(J), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed. By doing so, the player is definitely notified of the loss.

In the special lottery effect process, the common effect video may be replayed and displayed both in the case of winning the jackpot and in the case of losing, so when the common effect video is replayed and displayed, The expectation of the player for winning the jackpot can be greatly increased.

Thus, in the present embodiment, in the effect pattern according to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32. By displaying the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 in a temporary stop display in a manner according to the result of the special lottery, while increasing the player's expectation for winning the jackpot. After that, the player is informed of the result of the special lottery by displaying the fixed stop.

In the hold display effect process, the effect control unit 300 holds the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 based on the command according to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image showing the situation of the first special random number value or the second special random number value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16(A), in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 of the special random number storage means 2914, or the second special reserved storage area 4 is formed. Corresponding to the special pending storage area 1 to the second special pending storage area 4, four pending display areas (display areas) of a first pending display area 411 to a fourth pending display area 414 are provided, and each pending display is provided. In the area, as shown in FIG. 16A, a first reserved image 420 indicating which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 the first special random number value is stored in, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16B, it is possible to display a second reserved image 422 indicating which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 the second special random number value is stored. Has become.

Specifically, the effect control means 300 is the case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special pending storage area 1 to the second special pending storage area 4, and the first special pending storage area 1 When the first special random number value is stored in, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the first reserved image storage area 1 and the first special reserved storage area 2 respectively display the first reserved image 420. When one special random number value is reserved, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on. When the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special pending storage areas 4, the first special random number values reserved in the first special pending storage area 1 to the first special pending storage area 4 The first hold image 420 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 in accordance with the number of. In the example of FIG. 16A, no second special random number value is stored in any of the second special pending storage areas 1 to 2 and the first special pending storage areas 1 to 1 are stored. Since the first special random number value is reserved in each of the special reservation storage areas 3, the first reservation image 420 is displayed in each of the first reservation display area 411 to the third reservation display area 413.

Moreover, the effect control means 300, regardless of which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 the first special random number value is stored in, the second special reserved storage area 1 When the second special random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the second special reserved storage area 1 and the second special reserved storage area 2 receive the second special reserved area. When the random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on. When the second special random number value is stored in any of the special reserved storage areas 4, the number of second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. Accordingly, the second hold image 422 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414. In the example of FIG. 16B, since the second special random number value is reserved in each of the second special suspension storage area 1 to the second special suspension storage area 2, the first suspension display area 411 to the second suspension The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, on the left side of the first reserved display area 411, the first special reserved storage area or the second special reserved storage area of the special random number storage means 2914. In correspondence with the above, one reserved display area 430 is provided, and in the reserved display area 430, the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special reserved storage is performed. When stored in the area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the second special reserved storage area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed. The second hold image 422 is displayed.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 16(A), the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed to store the first special random number value in the first special reserved storage area. Then, the effect control unit 300 moves the first reserved image 420 displayed in the first reserved display area 411 to the reserved display area 430 as shown in FIG. The variable display of the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display areas after the second reserved display area 412 is ordinal one from the original reserved display area. Display control for moving to a small reserved display area is performed. Thereby, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of the special lottery this time, and the first hold image displayed in the first hold display area 411 and subsequent areas. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of the special lottery on and after the next time.

Then, as shown in FIG. 16D, when the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed, and the result of the special lottery of this time is displayed, the result is stored in the first special reserved storage area. As the stored first special random number value is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. Then, when the first special random number value is further read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300, although not shown, the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. While moving the image 420 to the hold display area 430, the variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is started, and is displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area having an ordinal number one smaller.

Although not shown, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special random number value in a state where a plurality of second special random number values are reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. When the special lottery is read out and the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area, the effect control means 300 causes the second reserved image 422 displayed in the first reserved display area 411. Is moved to the hold display area 430, and the variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is started, and the second hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is displayed. Display control is performed to move the hold image 422 from the original hold display area to the hold display area having an ordinal number one smaller. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the special lottery this time, and the second hold image displayed in the first hold display area 411 or later. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the special lottery on and after the next time.

Further, the effect control means 300, after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired, according to the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the first special random number value. Alternatively, until the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed for the second special random number value, or the first special random number value is obtained after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired. Alternatively, until the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value acquired immediately before the second special random number value, the look-ahead presentation device 176 To run. In the present embodiment, as the prefetch effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the prefetch effect is determined. It is changed, an effect image is displayed around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, an object image such as a character image is displayed, or a special background image different from a normal background image is displayed. Or In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state or the penalty state, the look-ahead effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and when the gaming state is the probability changing state, the special state or the time saving state, The look-ahead effect is not performed for the first special random number value.

Here, the effect control means 300 is a case where the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value is a big hit, or there is a loss. In some cases, the look-ahead effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value only when the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, in each of the variable group lottery table A to the variable group lottery table F shown in FIG. 7, 90 variable groups of 0 to 89 out of 0 to 99 variable group determination random number values. A group 0 to a group 7 other than the group 4 and the group 5 is associated with each of the determined random number values, and a group is assigned to each of the eight variable group determined random number values of 90 to 97. 4 is associated with each of the two variable group determination random number values of 98 to 99, and the group 5 is associated with each of the two variable group determination random number values. , There are cases where the reach-free variation pattern is determined and cases where the reach variation pattern is determined according to the number of holdings or the game state, and the variation group determination random value is any of 90 to 99. The reach variation pattern is always determined regardless of the number of holdings or the gaming state, and the variation pattern without reach is never determined.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the special lottery means 230 loses in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, the variable group determination random number value included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value. Is 0 to 89, undetermined value information indicating that the reach variation pattern is undetermined is set as the preliminary determination result, and if it is 90 to 99, Sets fixed value information indicating that the reach variation pattern is always determined as the pre-determination result.

Then, when the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is that the jackpot is won, the effect control unit 300 determines whether or not the prefetching effect can be executed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value. If you do not win the jackpot, it is determined whether the pre-judgment result includes fixed value information, and if the fixed value information is included, , The pre-reading production lottery is performed.

As a result, in the present embodiment, the time when the pre-determination process is performed on the first special random number value or the second special random number value and the time when the special lottery is performed on the same first special random number value or the second special random number value. If the special lottery is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the look-ahead effect has been determined, even if the number of holdings has changed, it is possible to win the jackpot or lose it. Also, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

When the production control means 300 decides to execute the prefetch production in the prefetch production lottery for the first special random number value, the first special suspension storage area and the first special suspension storage area 1 to the first special suspension storage. Included in the pre-judgment result in the first special random number value that is the first special random number value that has been reserved in the area 4 and that has been acquired earlier than the first special random number value that has been determined to execute the prefetching effect. The first special random number value that is the result of the jackpot determination process that was won for the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process that is included in the pre-determination result is a loss, but the pre-determination result includes fixed value information If the first special random number value that has been read does not exist, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

Further, when the execution of the prefetching effect is determined by the prefetching effect lottery for the second special random number value, the second special reserved storage area and the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 are suspended. The second special random number value which is the second special random number value acquired prior to the second special random number value for which the execution of the prefetching effect has been determined, and the second special random number value of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result. The second special random number value that is the result of winning the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determining process included in the preliminary determination result is a loss, but the preliminary determination result includes fixed value information. If the special random number value does not exist, the pre-reading effect is started assuming that the start condition of the pre-reading effect is satisfied.

As a result, in the present embodiment, when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot win for the already held first special random number value or the second special random number value. If confirmed, if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, and if it is confirmed that the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, it is executed by the confirmed jackpot. The pre-reading effect can be started after the special game state is finished, or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that is being executed or is confirmed to be executed is ended. ..

3. Control Method of this Embodiment The control method of this embodiment will be described in detail below. In the present embodiment, the present invention is realized by various methods described below as first to fifth embodiments and various methods described as modified examples of the first to fifth embodiments. The control methods can be appropriately combined and used.

3-1. First Embodiment FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the gaming machine of the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery in response to the game ball entering the first starting winning opening 46 after the power of the gaming machine has been turned on, FIG. ), the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are variably displayed at high speed, and then, in the middle of the change time, as shown in FIG. 17B, first, the left effect design 350. Is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "6", for example, and as shown in FIG. 17C, the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "2", as shown in FIG. 17D. In FIG. 17(E), the middle effect symbol 352 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing “4”, and the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are not fixedly stopped and displayed. The high-speed variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 may be restarted.

Then, in such a case, as shown in FIG. 17(F), the left effect design 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing, for example, “3”, and as shown in FIG. 17(G), right effect design. For example, 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "8", and as shown in FIG. 17(H), the intermediate effect design 352 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "2", for example, but not shown, but left effect The symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed, and the result of the first special lottery is notified.

Then, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17(B), in the state where the left effect design 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the variable time, the set value storage means 2905 is set by the number shown by the left effect design 350. A first setting suggestion effect is provided to indicate which of the stored setting values is stored or whether the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 has been changed.

Specifically, in the first embodiment, every time a game ball enters the first start winning opening 46 or the second starting winning opening 53 after the power is turned on, the stored value of the game number counter 3114 of the sub memory 310 is set to 1 Incremental update is performed to add a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of games, and the first time in response to the game ball entering the first starting winning opening 46 after the power is turned on. When the pre-determination process is performed, a first setting suggestion effect lottery for determining an execution mode of the first setting suggestion effect is performed.

Here, in the first embodiment, as the first setting suggestive effect, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354, which are temporarily stopped and displayed in the middle of the variation time, that is, the variable display at the high speed described above is restarted. A plurality of types of temporary stop patterns having different modes of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352 and the right effect design 354 to be temporarily stopped before being prepared are prepared.

Specifically, as a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns, a temporary stop pattern of "left 3" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode in which the left effect design 350 indicates "3", and a left effect design 350 indicates "4". The temporary stop pattern of "left 4" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode, the temporary stop pattern of "left 5" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode in which the left effect design 350 shows "5", and the left effect design 350 is " 6” is a temporary stop pattern of “left 6” temporarily displayed, and a left effect design 350 is a temporary stop pattern of “left 7” temporarily displayed in a mode of “7”, and a left effect A temporary stop pattern of "left 8" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode in which the symbol 350 shows "8", and a temporary stop pattern of "left 9" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode in which the left effect design 350 shows "9". Is prepared.

It should be noted that each type of temporary stop pattern has the same aspect of the left effect design 350, but further includes a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns having different aspects of the middle effect design 352 or the right effect design 354. For example, in the temporary stop pattern of "left 3", the left effect design 350 indicates "3", the middle effect design 352 indicates "5", and the right effect design 354 indicates "2". In addition to the temporary stop pattern, the left effect design 350 indicates “3”, the middle effect design 352 indicates “6”, and the right effect design 354 indicates “1” for temporary stop display. It includes stop patterns etc.

In the first embodiment, as the effect lottery table referred to in the first setting suggestion effect lottery, in the effect lottery table storage means 3112, the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A group shown in FIG. The first setting suggestion effect lottery table B group shown in (B) is stored, and the setting change flag of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A group is set to the ON state by changing the set value. The first setting suggestion effect lottery table B group is referred to when the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed.

Then, the first setting suggestion production lottery table A group is referred to when the setting value is setting 1 from the first setting suggestion production lottery table A1 which is referred to when the setting value is setting 1. Six types of first setting suggestion production lottery tables A up to setting suggestion production lottery table A6 are included, and the first setting suggestion production lottery table B group is referred to when the set value is setting 1. Six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery tables B from the one setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 to the first setting suggestion effect lottery table B6 which is referred to when the setting value is the setting 6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, "no effect" and "left 3" to "left" in which the first setting suggestion effect is not performed. Each of the temporary stop patterns of "9" is associated with one of the first setting suggestive effect determination random number values of 0 to 99. In addition, when "no effect" is selected, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery, the left effect symbol in the middle stage of the change time as shown in FIGS. 17(B) to 17(C). 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are not temporarily stopped and displayed, and the left effect symbol 350 and the intermediate effect symbol 352 are shown at the end of the variable time as shown in FIGS. 17(F) to 17(H). And the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed.

For example, in the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 which is referred to when the set value is the setting 1, 90 pieces of the first setting suggestion effect determination random numbers are set so that the selection rate is 90% in the case of “no effect”. Numerical values are associated with each other, and each of the "left 3" to "left 7" temporary stop patterns is not associated with the first setting suggestive effect determination random number value so that the selection rate becomes 0%. The left 8" temporary stop pattern is associated with four first setting suggestive effect determination random number values such that the selection rate is 4%, and the left 9" temporary stop pattern has a selection rate of 6%. Six first setting suggestive effect determination random number values are associated with each other so as to be %.

Then, in each of the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, for “no effect”, the larger the set value, the lower the selection rate. , “No effect” and the first setting suggestion effect determination random number value are associated with each other. Therefore, when the first setting suggestion effect is executed, it can be suggested that a large value is likely to be set as the set value, and the player's expectation for future games. Can be effectively increased.

Further, in each of the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, for example, for the temporary stop pattern of “left 3”, the set values are set 1 to set 2. If the setting value is setting 3 to setting 6, it is not selected. However, if the setting value is setting 3, the temporary value of “left 3” is set so that the selection rate becomes the highest. The stop pattern is associated with the first setting suggestive effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the first setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of “left 3”, it is confirmed that the setting value of setting 3 or more is set, and setting 3 may be set. It can be suggested to be the highest.

In addition, in the six types of first setting suggestive effect lottery table A, the selection rate of the “left 9” temporary stop pattern is higher than that of the “left 8” temporary stop pattern regardless of the set value. In the six types of first setting suggestive effect lottery table B, the selection ratio of the “left 8” temporary stop pattern is higher than that of the “left 9” temporary stop pattern, regardless of the set value. The temporary stop pattern of “left 8” and the temporary stop pattern of “left 9” are associated with the first setting suggestive effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the first setting suggestive effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "left 9", the setting value is likely to be changed, and the first setting suggestive effect is the temporary stop pattern of "left 8". If it is executed in, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the set value has not been changed.

Thus, in the first embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, that is, in the so-called special lottery after the opening of the store, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are When the variable display at high speed is restarted without the fixed stop display, it is stored in the set value storage means 2905 by the number shown by the left effect design 350 that is temporarily stopped before the variable display at high speed is restarted. A first setting suggestion effect may be performed that indicates which set value is set or whether the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 has been changed.

In the first embodiment, as described above, for the first special random number value, the small hit symbol A is won or lost, the game state is the normal state, and the number of reserved first special random number values is 0. When the number is one, the variable time is often set to 5 seconds to 10 seconds, so the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the power of the gaming machine is turned on is the effect time. Since it is often set to 5 seconds to 10 seconds, it is possible to secure sufficient time for performing the first setting suggestion effect, and the first special lottery after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. It is possible to effectively utilize the effect time of the special lottery effect for, and enhance the effect of effect.

In addition, in the above-described first embodiment, an example in which the first setting suggestion effect is performed by the number indicated by the left effect design 350 that is temporarily displayed before the variable display at high speed is resumed has been described. The first setting suggestion effect is performed by the sum of the numbers of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 that are temporarily stopped before the variable display at high speed is resumed. May be.

In this case, instead of the temporary stop pattern of "left 3", for example, the left effect design 350 indicates "1", the middle effect design 352 indicates "0", and the right effect design 354 indicates "2". Like the temporary stop pattern that is temporarily stopped and displayed in the manner shown, the temporary stop pattern in which the sum of the numbers of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is “3” is the lottery target, Instead of the temporary stop pattern of “left 4”, for example, the left effect design 350 indicates “2”, the middle effect design 352 indicates “1”, and the right effect design 354 indicates temporary stop in a mode of “1”. Like the temporary stop pattern to be displayed, the left effect design, such as the temporary stop pattern in which the sum of the numbers shown by the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is “4”, is selected. A plurality of types of temporary stop patterns having different sums of the numbers of the 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 may be selected as the lottery targets.

In addition, depending on whether there are many odd numbers or many even numbers in the numbers shown by the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 that are temporarily stopped before the variable display at high speed is restarted, One setting suggestion effect may be performed.

In this case, the left effect design 350 indicates “1”, the middle effect design 352 indicates “5”, and the right effect design 354 indicates “3” as a temporary stop pattern that is temporarily stopped and displayed. , The left production design 350, the middle production design 352, and the right production design 354 have odd numbers that are odd numbers, and the left production design 350 indicates "6", and the middle production design 352 indicates "4". As shown in the figure, the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are even numbers, such as a temporary stop pattern in which the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode indicating “8”. If a temporary stop pattern is prepared, the odd temporary stop pattern has a higher selectivity than the even temporary stop pattern when the set value is odd, and the even temporary stop pattern when the set value is even. The selection rate may be higher than that of the odd-numbered temporary stop pattern.

In addition, as the left effect design 350 that is temporarily stopped and displayed before the variable display at high speed is resumed, for example, the special effect design indicated as "excellent", the special effect design indicated as "good", and " Depending on which special effect design is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect design 350 that is temporarily stopped before the variable display at high speed is restarted, a special effect design shown as “possible” is prepared. One setting suggestion effect may be performed.

In this case, for example, when the setting value is the setting 1 or the setting 2, the selection ratio of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect design indicated as “possible” is temporarily displayed as the left effect design 350 is the highest. When the setting value is high and the setting value is the setting 3 or the setting value 4, the special effect design indicated as “good” has the highest selection rate of the temporary stop pattern temporarily displayed as the left effect design 350, and the setting value is In the case of setting 5 or setting 6, the selection ratio of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "excellent" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 may be set to be the highest.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the first setting suggestion effect is produced depending on whether the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 and the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 have been changed. Although the temporary stop pattern is determined as an example, the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 is set regardless of whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 has been changed. Accordingly, the temporary stop pattern of the first suggestive setting effect may be determined, or the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 regardless of the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905. The temporary stop pattern of the first setting suggestive effect may be determined depending on whether or not the change has been made.

That is, the mode in which at least one of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed is the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905, and the set value storage means 2905. According to at least one of whether or not the stored set value is changed, the temporary stop display is performed in a predetermined mode common to the normal time or in a specific mode different from the normal time. Good. Here, the effect symbol of a specific mode different from the normal time may be an effect symbol that can be displayed only as the first setting suggestion effect, or not only as the first setting suggestion effect, but also in a special effect section. It may be an effect symbol that can be displayed when a predetermined condition such as a certain case is satisfied.

And, as the effect design of the specific aspect which is different from the normal time, in addition to the three types of special effect designs shown as "excellent", "good", and "acceptable" as described above, set value storage means In order to indirectly inform whether or not the set value stored in 2905 or the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 has been changed, a plurality of types of special characters having different characters, symbols, shapes, patterns or colors are used. You may prepare a production design.

In addition, when the result of the first-time pre-determination process after the power is turned on is the winning or loss of the small hit symbol A, the first setting suggestive effect lottery is performed, but when the big hit is won The first setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed, or the first setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed regardless of the result of the first preliminary determination process after the power is turned on. ..

In addition, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery, when the result of the first preliminary determination process after the power is turned on is a winning or loss of the small hit symbol A, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect The first setting suggestion effect is performed by the numbers indicated by the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 which are temporarily stopped and displayed immediately before the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed. Good.

In addition, until the value of the game number counter 3114 reaches, for example, 10 after the power is turned on, the first setting suggestive effect lottery is performed every time the result of the preliminary determination process is lost, so that the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the special lottery effect for each special lottery, for example, from the time of insertion to the tenth time, the left effect symbol that is temporarily stopped immediately before the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed. The first setting suggestion effect may be performed by the numbers indicated by 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354.

Further, in addition to or instead of performing the first setting suggestion effect lottery when the preliminary determination process is performed, the first setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed when the special lottery is performed.

That is, after the power is turned on, the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 and the setting stored in the set value storage means 2905 until a predetermined number of pre-judgment processes including one time or special lottery are performed. Depending on at least one of whether the value has been changed, the mode of the effect design to be temporarily stopped may be determined.

In addition, when a variation pattern, such as a reach variation pattern, having a relatively long variation time is determined after the power is turned on until a predetermined number of pre-determination processes including one time or special lottery is performed, the first setting is performed. There may be a case where a suggestive presentation is performed.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, as the first setting suggestive effect, an example in which the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the variable time has been described, but At the beginning of the change time before the development effect that increases the expectation for winning is executed, or at the end of the change time after the notification of the loss is made in the development effect, the left setting as the first setting suggestion effect There may be a case where the symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed. In this case, it is possible to prevent confusion between the effect that suggests a big hit and the first setting suggestive effect.

3-2. Second Embodiment FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the gaming machine of the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, in the special lottery effect in which the reach effect pattern is determined as the latter half effect pattern for the first time after the power of the game machine is turned on, the intermediate effect symbol 352 is variably displayed as shown in FIG. 19(A). There is a case where both the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode indicating “6”, for example.

Then, in such a case, as shown in FIG. 19(B), the reproduction display of the effect movie corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the reducing effect effect pattern 362 is variably displayed. , Both the reduced left effect design 360 and the reduced right effect design 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach mode showing, for example, “6”, and when the jackpot is not won, as shown in FIG. 19(C), While the production movie in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B is played, the reduction effect production pattern 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach-miss mode different from the reduction left production design 360 and the reduction right production design 364, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach-miss mode, as shown in FIG. 19E, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and By the fixed stop display of the right effect design 354 in the reach-miss mode, the player is definitely notified of the loss.

And in 2nd Embodiment, as shown to FIG. 19(A)-FIG. 19(B), the number which the left production design 350 and the right production design 354 which were provisionally stopped and displayed in the reach mode or the reach mode is provisional. Which of the set values is stored in the set value storage means 2905, or the setting stored in the set value storage means 2905, according to the numbers indicated by the reduced left production design 360 and the reduced right production design 364 that are stopped and displayed. A second setting suggestion effect is suggested to indicate whether or not the value has been changed.

Specifically, in the second embodiment, when the reach effect pattern is determined as the latter half effect pattern for the first time after the power is turned on, the second setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the second setting suggestion effect is performed. Be seen. Here, in the second embodiment, as the second setting suggestive effect, a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns in which the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode are different are prepared.

Specifically, as a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns, the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "3", and the left effect design 350 and the temporary stop pattern of "3 reach". A temporary stop pattern of "4 reach" in which the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "4", and a left effect design 350 and a right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "5". Temporary stop pattern of "5 reach", left effect design 350 and right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing "6", temporary stop pattern of "4 reach", left effect design 350 and right effect design 354 Of the temporary stop pattern of "7 reach" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode indicating "7", and of "8 reach" in which the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode of indicating "8". A temporary stop pattern and a temporary stop pattern of "0 reach" are prepared in which the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner showing "0".

In the second embodiment, as the effect lottery table referred to in the second setting suggestion effect lottery, in the effect lottery table storage means 3112, the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A group shown in FIG. A second setting suggestion effect lottery table B group shown in (B), a second setting suggestion effect lottery table C group shown in FIG. 20(C), and a second setting suggestion effect lottery table D group shown in FIG. 20(D). Is stored, and the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A group is a case where the setting change flag is set to the ON state by changing the setting value, and the preliminary determination result is a big hit. When the probability variation pattern is determined or is lost, the second setting suggestion effect lottery table B group has the setting change flag set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed. In the case, the pre-judgment result is a big jackpot and one of the probability variation symbols is determined, or it is referred to when there is a loss, and the setting value of the second setting suggestive effect lottery table C group is changed. In the case where the setting change flag is set to the ON state by being performed, the pre-judgment result is referred to when the jackpot is won and one of the normal symbols is determined, and the second setting suggestion effect In the lottery table D group, in the case where the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed, and the pre-judgment result is a jackpot and one of the normal symbols is determined. Referred to.

Then, the second setting suggestion production lottery table A group is referred to when the setting value is setting 1 from the second setting suggestion production lottery table A1 which is referred to when the setting value is setting 1. Six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables A up to setting suggestion effect lottery table A6 are included, and the second setting suggestion effect lottery table B group is referred to when the setting value is setting 1. Six types of second setting suggestion production lottery tables B from the 2 setting suggestion production lottery table B1 to the second setting suggestion production lottery table B6 which is referred to when the setting value is setting 6 are included. In the setting suggestion production lottery table C group, the second setting suggestion production lottery referred to when the set value is 6 from the second setting suggestion production lottery table C1 which is referred to when the set value is setting 1. Six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables C up to table C6 are included, and the second setting suggestion effect lottery table D group is the second setting suggestion effect referred to when the setting value is setting 1. Six kinds of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables D from the lottery table D1 to the second setting suggestion effect lottery table D6 which is referred to when the set value is the setting 6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, “no effect” and “3 reach” to “8” in which the second setting suggestion effect is not performed. Each of the temporary stop patterns of “reach” and “0 reach” is associated with one of the second setting suggestion effect determination random number values of 0 to 99.

On the other hand, in each of the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables C and the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables D, “no effect”, “4 reach”, and “6” in which the second setting suggestion effect is not performed. Each of the temporary stop patterns of “reach”, “8 reach”, and “0 reach” is associated with one of the second setting suggestive effect determination random number values of 0 to 99.

For example, in the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 which is referred to when the set value is the setting 1, “no effect” has 90 second setting suggestion effect determination random numbers so that the selection rate is 90%. Numerical values are associated with each other, and each of the temporary stop patterns of “3 reach” to “7 reach” is not associated with the second setting suggestive effect determination random number value so that the selection rate becomes 0%. To the temporary stop pattern of "8 reach", four second setting suggestion effect determination random numbers are associated with each other so that the selection rate becomes 4%, and the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach" has a selection rate of 6%. Six second setting suggestion effect determination random number values are associated with each other so as to be %.

In each of the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables A to six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables D, for “no effect”, the larger the set value, the lower the selection rate. , “No effect” and the second setting suggestion effect determination random number value are associated with each other. Therefore, when the second setting suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to suggest that a large value is likely to be set as the set value, and the player's expectation for future games. Can be effectively increased.

Further, in each of the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables A to six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables D, for example, for the temporary stop pattern of “4 reach”, the set values are set to set 1 to set 3. If the setting value is setting 4 to setting 6, it is not selected, but if the setting value is setting 4, the provisional "4 reach" is selected so that the selection rate becomes the highest. The stop pattern is associated with the second setting suggestive effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the second setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "4 reach", it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the setting value of 4 or more is set. ..

Further, in the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables C, the provisional stop pattern of "0 reach" is "8 reach" regardless of the set value. The selection rate is higher than that of the temporary stop pattern of “.”, and in the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables B and the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables D, regardless of the setting value, “8 reach The temporary stop pattern of "8 reach" and the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach" and the second setting suggestion effect determination are made so that the temporary stop pattern of "" has a higher selection rate than the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach". Random number values are associated. Therefore, when the second setting suggestive effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach", it is highly possible that the set value is changed, and the second setting suggestive effect is the temporary stop pattern of "8 reach". If it is executed in, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the set value has not been changed.

Here, in the second embodiment, when the jackpot is won in the special lottery and the probability variation symbol is determined, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are all determined to be the same odd number. When the jackpot is won by the special lottery and the normal symbol is determined, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode showing the same even number. I am trying to do it.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, the pre-judgment result is a big hit and one of the probability variation symbols is determined, and the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A group or the second setting suggestion effect lottery table B is set. The group is referred to, and the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode indicating the same even number, such as the temporary stop pattern of "4 reach" and the temporary stop pattern of "6 reach". When the temporary stop pattern is selected, the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are all temporarily stopped and displayed in the big hit mode showing the same even number. Both the design 352 and the right effect design 354 are changed to a big hit mode showing the same odd number and temporarily stopped and displayed, and then the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352 and the right effect design 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed. There is.

For example, in the case where the pre-judgment result is a jackpot and one of the probability variation patterns is determined, and when the temporary stop pattern of "6 reach" is determined as the second setting suggestion effect, As shown in FIG. 19(A), both the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach mode showing “6”, and as shown in FIG. 19(B), the determined reach effect pattern. While the reproduction display of the effect animation corresponding to is started, the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are both temporarily displayed in the reach mode in which the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are, for example, "6". It will be stopped. Then, as shown in FIG. 19(F), the production movie in which the main character A wins the enemy character B is reproduced, and the reduced left production design 360, the reduction-in-progress production design 362, and the reduced right production design 364 are all. The temporary stop display is displayed in the jackpot mode showing "6", and as shown in FIG. 19(G), the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are all temporarily stopped in the jackpot mode showing "6". Although it is displayed, as shown in FIG. 19(H), the effect image is displayed so as to cover the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354, and when the effect image is not displayed, FIG. As shown in I), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are all changed so that they are temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode showing "7". As shown in FIG. 7, the fixed stop display is performed in the jackpot mode showing “7”, so that the player is definitely notified that the probability variation pattern has been decided as the jackpot.

Thus, in the second embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first time after the game machine is powered on, that is, in the so-called first reach effect pattern after opening, the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect effect that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode. The second setting indicating which of the set values stored in the set value storage means 2905 is based on the number shown by the design 354 or whether or not the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 has been changed. Suggestive production is sometimes performed.

In the second embodiment described above, when the reach effect pattern is determined as the second half effect pattern for the first time after the power is turned on, the second setting suggestion effect lottery is performed, so that the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the special lottery effect by the first reach effect pattern, the second setting suggestion effect may be performed, but the reach effect pattern was determined as the latter half effect pattern after the power was turned on. The number of times is counted, and until the number of times the reach effect pattern is determined as the second half effect pattern reaches, for example, 10 times, the second setting suggestion effect lottery is performed every time the reach effect pattern is determined as the second effect effect pattern. By doing so, the second setting suggestion effect may be performed in the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern of each time from the power-on of the gaming machine to the tenth time, for example.

Further, regardless of the number of times the reach effect pattern is determined as the latter half effect pattern, the power of the gaming machine is turned on by performing the second setting suggestion effect lottery each time the reach effect pattern is determined as the latter effect effect pattern. The second setting suggestion effect may be performed in the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern every time. In this case, it is preferable to reduce the frequency with which the second setting suggestive effect is performed.

Further, in the above-described second embodiment, an example in which the second setting suggestive effect is performed by the numbers shown by the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode has been described, but the reach mode is described. As the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 that are temporarily stopped and displayed, for example, a special effect design indicated as “excellent”, a special effect design indicated as “good”, and a special indicated as “OK” As the left effect design 350 and the right effect design 354 that are provisionally stopped and displayed in the reach mode, the second setting suggestion effect is performed depending on which special effect design is provisionally stopped and displayed. Good.

In this case, for example, when the setting value is the setting 1 or the setting 2, the selection ratio of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect design indicated as “possible” is temporarily displayed as the left effect design 350 is the highest. When the setting value is high and the setting value is the setting 3 or the setting value 4, the special effect design indicated as “good” has the highest selection rate of the temporary stop pattern temporarily displayed as the left effect design 350, and the setting value is In the case of setting 5 or setting 6, the selection ratio of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "excellent" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 may be set to be the highest.

3-3. Third Embodiment FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the gaming machine of the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, in the special lottery effect for one special lottery, the symbol effect effect from the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 being displayed at high speed until they are temporarily displayed. There is a case where a pseudo continuous variation effect (specific effect) that is repeated a plurality of times is executed.

In the third embodiment, in the pseudo continuous variation effect that is first executed after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, as shown in FIG. 21(A), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354. After the first symbol variation effect is started by the variable display at high speed, first, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing, for example, “5”, as shown in FIG. 21(B). When the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing, for example, “1”, as shown in FIG. 21C, as the middle effect design 352, “NEXT” is displayed so that the pseudo continuous variation effect is produced. The continuation pattern 510 suggesting that the continuation may be continued may be temporarily stopped and displayed in a state of being colored in a gold color different from the normal color of the continuation pattern 510.

Then, as the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are not fixedly stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. The second symbol variation effect is started by restarting the variable display of No., and as shown in FIG. 21(E), the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing, for example, “3”, and the right effect symbol. When 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing “8”, for example, as shown in FIG. 21(F), as the intermediate effect symbol 352, the continuous design 510 colored in the normal color is temporarily stopped and displayed. There is. And in such a case, the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are not fixedly stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. 21G, the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right. The high-speed variable display of the effect symbol 354 is restarted to start the third symbol variable effect.

Then, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21C, the setting value storage unit 2905 stores the color of the continuous symbol 510 that is temporarily stopped and displayed as the medium symbol symbol 352 in the first symbol variation effect. The third setting suggestion effect is performed to indicate which set value is set or whether the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 has been changed.

Specifically, in the third embodiment, when the execution of the pseudo continuous variation effect is determined for the first time after the power is turned on, the third setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the third setting suggestion effect is performed. .. Here, in the third embodiment, as the third setting suggestion effect, the left design symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the first symbol variation effect and the continuous symbol 510 that is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352. A plurality of types of temporary stop patterns having different colors are prepared.

Specifically, as a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns, a temporary stop pattern of "copper continuation" in which a continuous design 510 colored in copper as the middle effect design 352 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and a silver color as the middle effect design 352 A temporary stop pattern of "silver continuation" in which the colored continuation pattern 510 is temporarily stopped, and a temporary stop pattern of "gold continuation" in which the continuous design 510 colored in gold as the intermediate effect design 352 is temporarily stopped and displayed. , A temporary stop pattern of "blue continuation" in which the continuation pattern 510 colored in blue is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect design 352, and a continuation pattern 510 colored in red as the middle effect design 352 is temporarily stopped and displayed. There is a temporary stop pattern of "red continuation".

And in the third embodiment, as the effect lottery table referred to in the third setting suggestion effect lottery, in the effect lottery table storage means 3112, the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A group shown in FIG. The third setting suggestion effect lottery table B group shown in (B) is stored, and the setting change flag of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A group is set to the ON state by changing the set value. The third setting suggestion effect lottery table B group is referred to when the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed.

The third setting suggestion effect lottery table A group is referred to when the set value is the setting 1, and the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A3 is referred to when the set value is the setting 6. Six types of third setting suggestion effect lottery tables A up to the setting suggestion effect lottery table A6 are included, and the third setting suggestion effect lottery table B group is referred to when the setting value is setting 1. Six types of third setting suggestion effect lottery tables B from the 3 setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 to the third setting suggestion effect lottery table B6 which is referred to when the setting value is the setting 6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of third setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of third setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, “no effect” in which the third setting suggestion effect is not performed and “copper continuation” to “red” are not performed. Each of the temporary stop patterns of "continue" is associated with one of the third setting suggestive effect determination random number values of 0 to 99.

For example, in the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 which is referred to when the set value is the setting 1, “no effect” has 90 third setting suggestion effect determination random numbers so that the selection rate is 90%. Numerical values are associated with each other, and each of the temporary stop patterns “continuation of copper” to “continuation of gold” is not associated with the third setting suggestive effect determination random number value so that the selection rate becomes 0%. To the temporary continuation pattern of "continue blue", four third setting suggestion effect determination random number values are associated so that the selectivity becomes 4%, and for the temporary stop pattern of "red continuation", the selectivity is 6%. Six third setting suggestive effect determination random number values are associated with each other so as to be %.

In each of the six types of third setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of third setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, for “no effect”, the larger the set value, the lower the selection rate. , “No effect” and the third setting suggestion effect determination random number value are associated with each other. Therefore, when the third setting suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that a large value is set as the set value, and the player's expectation for future games. Can be effectively increased.

Further, in each of the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table B, for example, for the temporary stop pattern of “copper continuation”, the set values are set to 1 to 3 If the set value is set to 4 to 6, it is not selected, but if the set value is set to 4, the "copper continuation" temporary is set so that the selection rate becomes the highest. The stop pattern and the third setting suggestive effect determination random number value are associated with each other. Therefore, when the third setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of “copper continuation”, it is confirmed that the setting value of setting 4 or more is set, and setting 4 may be set. It can be suggested to be the highest.

Further, in the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A, the selection rate of the "red continuation" temporary stop pattern is higher than that of the "blue continuation" temporary stop pattern, regardless of the set value. In the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table B, the selection rate of the "continuous blue" temporary stop pattern is higher than that of the "continuous red" temporary stop pattern regardless of the set value. The temporary stop pattern of "continuation of blue" and the temporary stop pattern of "continuation of red" are associated with the third setting suggestive effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the third setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "continuation of red", the setting value is likely to be changed, and the temporary stop pattern of the third setting suggestion effect of "continue in blue" is executed. If it is executed in, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the set value has not been changed.

Thus, in the third embodiment, after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, in the first time, that is, in the so-called first morning after opening of the store, in the first pattern change effect in the first pattern change effect, the continuous symbol temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352. A third setting suggesting effect that indicates which setting value is stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 or whether the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 has been changed by the color of 510 So that it can be done.

In the third embodiment described above, when the execution of the pseudo continuous variation effect is determined for the first time after the power is turned on, the third setting suggestion effect lottery is performed, so that the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the first pseudo-continuous variation effect described above, an example in which the third setting suggestion effect may be performed has been described, but the number of times the execution of the pseudo-continuous variation effect is determined after the power is turned on is counted. Then, until the number of times the execution of the pseudo continuous variation effect is determined reaches, for example, 10 times, the third setting suggestion effect lottery is performed every time the execution of the pseudo continuous variation effect is determined, so that the power supply of the gaming machine is increased. For example, the third setting suggestion effect may be performed in each pseudo continuous variation effect from the time when is input to the tenth time.

In addition, regardless of the number of times the execution of the pseudo continuous variation effect is determined, the third setting suggestion effect lottery is performed every time the execution of the pseudo continuous variation effect is determined, so that after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. The third setting suggestion effect may be performed in each pseudo continuous variation effect. In this case, it is preferable to reduce the frequency with which the third setting suggestive effect is performed.

Further, in the above-described third embodiment, an example in which the third setting suggestion effect may be performed in the first symbol variation effect in the first pseudo continuous variation effect after the power of the gaming machine is turned on is given. Although described, the third setting suggestion effect may be performed in the number of times of the symbol variation effect in the pseudo continuous variation effect of the number of times after the power of the gaming machine is turned on.

Further, in the above-described third embodiment, an example in which the third setting suggestion effect is performed by the color of the continuous symbol 510 that is temporarily stopped and displayed as the medium effect symbol 352 has been described, but the temporary effect is stopped as the medium effect symbol 352. As the continuous symbol 510 to be displayed, for example, a special effect symbol indicated as "excellent", a special effect symbol indicated as "good", and a special effect symbol indicated as "possible" are prepared, and a medium effect symbol The third setting suggestion effect may be performed depending on which special effect pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed as 352.

In this case, for example, when the set value is the setting 1 or the setting 2, the selection ratio of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol shown as “possible” is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352 is the highest. When the setting value is high and the setting value is the setting 3 or the setting value 4, the special effect design indicated as “good” has the highest selection rate of the temporary stop pattern temporarily displayed as the intermediate effect design 352, and the setting value is In the case of the setting 5 or the setting 6, the selection ratio of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as “excellent” is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352 may be set.

3-4. Fourth Embodiment In the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery in response to the game ball entering the first starting winning opening 46 after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, The variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is started, and the sound effect (specific effect sound) of the deep bass is output from the speaker 14 shown in FIG. The vibration of the air may be felt as wind pressure in the hand of the player who holds the unit 20.

And in the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery, the strength of the wind pressure felt by the sound effect output at the start of the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354. Thus, the fourth setting suggestion effect that suggests which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 is performed.

Specifically, in the fourth embodiment, every time a game ball enters the first start winning opening 46 or the second starting winning opening 53 after the power is turned on, the stored value of the game number counter 3114 of the sub memory 310 is set to 1 Incremental update is performed to add a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of games, and the first time in response to the game ball entering the first starting winning opening 46 after the power is turned on. When the pre-determination process is performed, a fourth setting suggestion effect lottery for determining an execution mode of the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed.

Here, in the fourth embodiment, as the fourth setting suggestive effect, a plurality of types of sound effects having different strengths of wind pressure felt by the player are prepared. Specifically, as a plurality of types of sound effects, a "weak" sound effect in which a weak wind pressure is felt and a "strong" sound effect in which a strong wind pressure is felt are prepared.

In the fourth embodiment, the effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores the fourth set suggestive effect lottery table A group shown in FIG. 23A as the effect lottery table referred to in the fourth setting suggestive effect lottery. There is.

The fourth setting suggestion production lottery table A group is referred to when the setting value is the setting 1, and the fourth setting suggestion production lottery table A4 is referred to when the setting value is the setting 6. Six types of fourth setting suggestion effect lottery tables A up to the setting suggestion effect lottery table A6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, 0 is set for each of “no effect”, “weak” sound effect, and “strong” sound effect in which the fourth setting suggestion effect is not performed. Any one of the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number values of ~99 is associated.

For example, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 which is referred to when the set value is the setting 1, “no effect” has 100 fourth setting suggestion effect determination random numbers so that the selection rate becomes 100%. Numerical values are associated with each other, and the “weak” sound effect and the “strong” sound effect are not associated with the fourth setting suggestive effect determination random number value so that the selection rate becomes 0%.

Then, in each of the six types of the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, for “no effect”, the selection rate becomes lower as the value of the setting value is larger, so that “no effect” and the fourth setting suggestion effect determination are made. Random number values are associated. Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed, it can be suggested that a large value is likely to be set as the set value, and the player's expectation for the game in the future. Can be effectively increased.

Further, in each of the six types of fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, for example, the sound effect of “weak” is not selected when the setting value is setting 1, and the setting values are setting 2 to setting 6 However, the sound effect of “weak” and the fourth setting suggestive effect determination random number value are associated with each other so that the selection rate is highest when the setting value is setting 6. Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed by the sound effect of “weak”, it is determined that the setting value of setting 2 or more is set, and setting 6 is most likely to be set. Can be suggested.

Thus, in the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first time after the power of the game machine is turned on, that is, in the special lottery after the so-called opening in the morning, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354. Depending on the strength of the sound effect output at the start of the variable display, the fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed, which suggests which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905.

In addition, in the above-described fourth embodiment, an example in which the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 is suggested by the fourth setting suggestion effect has been described, but the fourth setting suggestion effect is described. May indicate whether or not the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 has been changed.

Then, in this case, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed by referring to the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B group shown in FIG. 23(B). Specifically, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B group, a fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 referred to when the setting change flag is set to the ON state by changing the set value, In addition, two types of fourth setting suggestion effect lottery tables B of the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B2 referred to when the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the set value is not changed are included.

In each of the two types of the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B, 0 is set for each of the “no effect”, the “weak” sound effect, and the “strong” sound effect in which the fourth setting suggestion effect is not performed. Any one of the fourth setting suggestive effect determination random number values of ~99 is associated.

For example, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the setting value is changed, "no effect" has 80 fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number values such that the selection rate is 80%. Is associated with the “weak” sound effect, and five 4th setting suggestion effect determination random numbers are associated with the selection rate so that the selection rate is 5%. The 15th fourth setting suggestive effect determination random number values are associated with each other so that the value becomes 15%.

In each of the two types of the fourth setting suggestion production lottery tables B, the selection rate for “no production” is lower when the setting value is changed than when the setting value is not changed. "No effect" is associated with the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed, it can be suggested that the setting value is likely to be changed.

In addition, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the set value is changed, “weak” sound effect has a higher selection rate than “weak” sound effect. The sound effect of “” and the sound effect of “strong” are associated with the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number value, and in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B2 that is referred to when the setting value is not changed, “weak” The sound effects of "weak" and the sound effects of "strong" are associated with the fourth setting suggestive effect decision random number value so that the sound effects of "high" have a higher selection rate than the sound effects of "strong". .. Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed by the "strong" sound effect, it is highly possible that the setting value has been changed, and the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed by the "weak" sound effect. In this case, it can be suggested that it is highly possible that the set value has not been changed.

Thus, in the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, that is, the special lottery for the so-called first morning after opening, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol. A fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed that indicates whether or not the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 has been changed depending on the strength of the sound effect output at the start of the variable display of 354. May be.

Further, as in the first to third embodiments described above, the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 and the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 are changed. As a result, the fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed. That is, the fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed according to at least one of the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 and the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905. There may be.

Further, in the above-described fourth embodiment, when the first preliminary determination process is performed after the power is turned on, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed, and thus the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery, the case where the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed has been described as an example. However, the advance determination process is performed after the power is turned on, for example, until the tenth advance determination process is performed. By performing the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery each time is performed, the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed in the special lottery effect for each time of the special lottery from the power-on of the gaming machine to the tenth time, for example. There may be cases.

Further, in addition to or instead of performing the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery when the preliminary determination process is performed, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed when the special lottery is performed.

That is, after the power is turned on, the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 and the setting stored in the set value storage means 2905 until a predetermined number of pre-judgment processes including one time or special lottery are performed. The fourth setting suggestive effect may be performed depending on at least one of whether the value is changed.

In addition, when a variation pattern, such as a reach variation pattern, having a relatively long variation time is determined after the power is turned on and before a predetermined number of pre-determination processes including one time or special lottery is performed, the fourth setting is performed. There may be a case where a suggestive presentation is performed.

In addition, regardless of the number of times the preliminary determination process is performed, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed every time the preliminary determination process is performed, so that a special lottery for each special lottery after the power of the gaming machine is turned on is performed. In the lottery effect, the fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed in some cases. In this case, it is preferable that the frequency of the fourth setting suggestive effect is low.

Further, the sound effect output as the fourth setting suggestion effect may be a sound effect that can be output only as the fourth setting suggestion effect, and not only the fourth setting suggestion effect but also a predetermined effect is executed. It may be a sound effect that can be output when a predetermined condition is satisfied, such as when the sound effect is generated. For example, in addition to the "weak" sound effect and the "strong" sound effect, a "weak" sound effect that gives you a weaker wind pressure than the "weak" sound effect is prepared, and a special lottery effect is created each time. In, at the start of the variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352 and the right effect design 354, the sound effect of "weak" is output, but in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the power is turned on. In the case where the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed, the "strong" sound effect or the "weak" sound effect is output at the start of the variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354. If the fourth setting suggestion effect is not performed, the "weak" sound effect may be output at the start of the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354. .. Then, even in the special lottery effect for the special lottery after the first special lottery after the power is turned on, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect are predetermined effects different from the fourth setting suggestion effect. At the start of the variable display of the symbol 354, a “strong” sound effect or a “weak” sound effect may be output.

Further, in the above-described fourth embodiment, an example in which the sound effect is output at the start of the variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 has been described as the fourth setting suggestive effect, but it is a big hit. As the 4th setting suggestion production, sound is generated as the 4th setting suggestion production at the beginning of the change time before the development effect that the expectation for the winning of the winning is raised or at the end of the change time after the notification of the loss is made in the development effect. The effect may be output in some cases. In this case, it is possible to prevent confusion between the effect suggesting a big hit and the fourth setting suggestive effect.

3-5. Fifth Embodiment FIG. 24 is a front view showing the external configuration of the game board 6 according to the fifth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 24, in the fifth embodiment, the effect unit 36 provided on the game board 6 includes an effect object 500 (movable object) imitating the shape of a sword, and the effect object 500 is an effect unit. It is attached rotatably around a rotation shaft provided inside the upper left portion of 36. Then, the effect 500 is stored above the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 2 and is in a storage state (first state, initial state) invisible to the player, and from the storage state as shown in FIG. It is formed so as to cover a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 and rotate between the appearance state (second state) in which the player can visually recognize it by rotating it about the rotation axis by 45 degrees. .. A driving unit such as a motor (not shown) is provided inside the rendering unit 36, and the driving unit controls the rendering object 500 to be in the appearance state or the storage state. Then, in the fifth embodiment, when it is decided to execute the special lottery effect with a specific effect pattern, the effect 500 is operated in a specific mode along with a specific effect image and a specific sound effect. May be executed.

Here, in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery in response to the game ball entering the first starting winning opening 46 after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, the left effect is produced. The variable display of the symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the effect 500 may operate in a special mode different from the specific operation effect described above.

Then, in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery, the operation of the effect object 500 that operates in a special mode at the start of the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354. The fifth setting suggestion effect that indicates which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 is performed depending on the size of the setting value.

Specifically, in the fifth embodiment, every time a game ball enters the first start winning opening 46 or the second starting winning opening 53 after the power is turned on, the stored value of the game number counter 3114 of the sub memory 310 is set to 1 Incremental update is performed to add a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of games, and the first time in response to the game ball entering the first starting winning opening 46 after the power is turned on. When the pre-determination process is performed, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the fifth setting suggestion effect is performed.

Here, in the fifth embodiment, a plurality of types of motion patterns having different motion sizes of the movable object 500 are prepared as the fifth setting suggestive effect. Specifically, as a plurality of types of operation patterns, when the movable object 500 is visible from the player by rotating the movable object 500 from the housed state by 10 degrees about the rotation axis, the housed state is immediately returned to "small". And a "large" operation pattern in which the movable object 500 immediately returns to the accommodated state when the movable object 500 becomes visible to the player by rotating the movable object 500 from the accommodated state about the rotation axis by 20 degrees. There is.

In the fifth embodiment, the effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores the fifth setting suggestive effect lottery table A group shown in FIG. 25A as the effect lottery table referred to in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery. There is.

Then, the fifth setting suggestion production lottery table A group is referred to when the setting value is setting 1 from the fifth setting suggestion production lottery table A1 which is referred to when the setting value is setting 5. Six types of fifth setting suggestion effect lottery tables A up to setting suggestion effect lottery table A6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, 0 is set for each of the “no effect”, “small” operation pattern, and “large” operation pattern in which the fifth setting suggestion effect is not performed. One of the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number values of ~99 is associated.

For example, in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the setting value is the setting 1, 100 pieces of the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random numbers are set so that the selection rate is 100% in the case of “no effect”. Numerical values are associated with each other, and the “small” operation pattern and the “large” operation pattern are not associated with the fifth setting suggestive effect determination random number value such that the selection rate is 0%.

Then, in each of the six types of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, for “no effect”, the selection rate becomes lower as the value of the setting value is larger, so that “no effect” and the fifth setting suggestion effect determination are made. Random number values are associated. Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that a large value is set as the set value, and the player's expectation for future games. Can be effectively increased.

In each of the six types of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, for example, the operation pattern of “small” is not selected when the setting value is the setting 1, and the setting values are the setting 2 to the setting 6 However, when the setting value is the setting 6, the operation pattern of “small” and the fifth setting suggestive effect determination random number value are associated with each other so that the selection rate is highest when the setting value is the setting 6. Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestion effect is executed in the operation pattern of "small", it is determined that the setting value of setting 2 or more is set, and setting 6 is most likely to be set. Can be suggested.

Thus, in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, that is, in the so-called after-opening morning special lottery, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354. A fifth setting suggestion effect that suggests which setting value is stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 is performed depending on the size of the operation of the effect 500 that operates in a special mode at the start of the variable display. I try to be there.

In the fifth embodiment described above, the fifth setting suggesting effect has been described by giving an example of suggesting which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 by the fifth setting suggesting effect. May indicate whether or not the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 has been changed.

Then, in this case, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed by referring to the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B group shown in FIG. 25(B). Specifically, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 includes a fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 which is referred to when the setting change flag is set to the ON state by changing the set value. In addition, two kinds of fifth setting suggestion effect lottery tables B of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B2 referred to when the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed are included.

Then, in each of the two types of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B, 0 is obtained for each of the “no effect”, “small” operation pattern, and “large” operation pattern in which the fifth setting suggestion effect is not performed. One of the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number values of ~99 is associated.

For example, in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the setting value is changed, "no effect" has 80 fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number values so that the selection rate is 80%. Is associated with the “small” operation pattern, and five pieces of the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number values are associated with the selection rate of 5%, and the “large” operation pattern is associated with the selection rate. 15 fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number values are associated with each other so as to be 15%.

Then, in each of the two types of the fifth setting suggestion production lottery table B, for “no production”, the selection rate is lower when the setting value is changed than when the setting value is not changed. "No effect" is associated with the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestion effect is executed, it can be suggested that the setting value is likely to be changed.

In addition, in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the setting value is changed, “small” is selected so that the “large” operation pattern has a higher selection rate than the “small” operation pattern. In the fifth setting suggestion production lottery table B2 which is referred to when the setting value is not changed, the operation pattern of “” and the movement pattern of “large” are associated with the fifth setting suggestion production determination random number value. The motion pattern of “small” and the motion pattern of “large” are associated with the fifth setting suggestion production determination random number value so that the motion pattern of “3” has a higher selection rate than the motion pattern of “large”. .. Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestive effect is executed in the "large" operation pattern, the setting value is likely to be changed, and the fifth setting suggestive effect is executed in the "small" operation pattern. In this case, it can be suggested that it is highly possible that the set value has not been changed.

As described above, in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first time after the game machine is powered on, that is, the special lottery for the so-called first morning after opening, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol. A fifth setting suggestion effect that indicates whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 has been changed depending on the size of the operation of the effect object 500 that operates in a special mode at the start of the variable display of 354. May be performed.

Further, as in the first to third embodiments described above, the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 and the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 are changed. Thus, the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed in some cases. That is, the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed depending on at least one of the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 and the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905. There may be.

In addition, in the above-described fifth embodiment, when the first preliminary determination process is performed after the power is turned on, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed, so that the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery, the example in which the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed has been described, but the advance determination process is performed after the power is turned on, for example, until the tenth advance determination process is performed. By performing the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery each time is performed, the fifth setting suggestion effect is performed in the special lottery effect for each time of the special lottery from the power-on of the gaming machine to the tenth time, for example. There may be cases.

Further, in addition to or instead of performing the fifth setting suggestion production lottery when the preliminary determination process is performed, the fifth setting suggestion production lottery may be performed when the special lottery is performed.

That is, after the power is turned on, the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 and the setting stored in the set value storage means 2905 until a predetermined number of pre-judgment processes including one time or special lottery are performed. The fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed depending on at least one of whether the value is changed.

In addition, when a variation pattern having a relatively long variation time such as a reach variation pattern is determined after the power is turned on until a predetermined number of pre-determination processes including one time or special lottery is performed, the fifth setting is performed. There may be a case where a suggestive presentation is performed.

In addition, regardless of the number of times the preliminary determination process is performed, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed every time the preliminary determination process is performed, so that a special lottery for each special lottery after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the lottery effect, the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed in some cases. In this case, it is preferable that the frequency with which the fifth setting suggestion effect is performed be reduced.

Further, in the above-described fifth embodiment, an example in which the fifth setting suggestive effect is performed depending on the size of the operation of the effect object 500 that operates in a special mode has been described, but the effect button 26 shown in FIG. The (movable object) is configured to operate between the reference position (initial state) shown in FIG. 1 and a projecting position projecting above the reference position, and the special lottery effect is executed in a specific effect pattern. When it is determined that a specific action effect in which the effect button 26 operates in a specific mode may be executed together with a specific effect image and a specific sound effect, an effect that operates in a special mode The fifth setting suggestive effect may be performed depending on the size of the operation of the button 26.

Further, the action of the movable object performed as the fifth setting suggestive effect may be the action of the movable object that can be performed only as the fifth setting suggestive effect, or the predetermined effect as well as the fifth setting suggestive effect. It may be an operation of a movable object that can be performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied such as when is performed. For example, even in the special lottery effect for the special lottery after the first special lottery after the power is turned on, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect are predetermined effects different from the fifth setting suggestion effect. At the start of the variable display of the design 354, or at a predetermined timing after the start of the variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354, the operation pattern of “large” or the “small” operation pattern is It may be performed in some cases.

Further, a sensor for detecting whether or not the movable object is in the initial state is provided, and a predetermined correction is performed when a defect in which the movable object is not in the initial state is detected when it should be in the initial state. In the special lottery production for the first special lottery after the power is turned on, the movable object is caused to perform the operation of the operation pattern so as to be returned to the initial state, and even if no trouble occurs, As the 5 setting suggestion effect, the movable object may be caused to perform the operation of the correction operation pattern. With this configuration, the program for correcting the movable object can be diverted to perform the fifth setting suggestion effect.

Further, in the above-described fifth embodiment, as the fifth setting suggestive effect, the example in which the movable object is operated at the start of the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 has been described. As the 5th setting suggestion effect, it is possible at the beginning of the change time before the development effect that the expectation for the winning of the winning is raised or at the end of the change time after the notification of the loss is made in the development effect. The animal may be allowed to move in some cases. In this case, it is possible to prevent confusion between the effect suggesting a big hit and the fifth setting suggestive effect.
