The "reach random number" is a random number used to determine whether or not to generate reach in the effect symbol variation effect indicating the result when the big hit / small hit determination is lost, and is in the range of 0 to 127. Takes the value of. Reach is a state in which there is only one effect symbol that is variablely displayed among a plurality of effect symbols (decorative symbols), and it depends on which symbol the variable display effect symbol is stopped and displayed. It is a state (for example, a state of "7 ↓ 7") in which a combination of production symbols indicating a big hit and a small hit is won. The effect symbol that is stopped and displayed in the reach state may be displayed as if it is shaking in the display screen 7a. The “variation pattern random number” is a random number used to determine a fluctuation pattern including a fluctuation time, and takes a value in the range of 0 to 127. The "normal symbol per random number" is a random number used in a winning lottery (ordinary symbol lottery) for whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 22, and takes a value in the range of 0 to 255. The "ordinary symbol per type random number" is a random number used for the lottery of the winning type (winning type determination) won in the ordinary symbol lottery, and takes a value in the range of 0 to 65535. "Random number per special symbol", "Random number type per special symbol", "Reach random number", and "Fluctuating pattern random number" are acquired based on the entry into the starting port (first starting port 20 or second starting port 21). Will be done. The random number value group acquired based on the ball entering the first starting port 20 is stored in the first special figure reservation storage area 85a, and the random number value group acquired based on the ball entering the second starting port 21 is stored. The second special figure is stored in the reserved storage area 85b. The "random number per ordinary symbol" and the "random number per type per ordinary symbol" are acquired based on the passage of the gate (first gate 28 or second gate 29). The acquired random value per normal symbol and the random value per type of normal symbol are stored in the normal symbol reservation storage area 86.

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

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

In the special symbol hit determination table T1, the random value per special symbol (any of 0 to 65535) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main processing (described later) is "big hit", "small hit", and "loss". It is a table referred to for determining which of the above is applicable. In FIG. 9A, in the lottery of the first special symbol (special figure 1), when the random number value per special symbol is "0 to 210", it is determined as "big hit" and the random number value per special symbol is " In the case of "1000 to 10500", it is determined to be "small hit", and when the random number value per special symbol is 0 to 65535 other than the above, it is determined to be "missing". .. Further, in the lottery of the second special symbol (special figure 2), when the random number value per special symbol is "0 to 210", it is determined as "big hit" and the random number value per special symbol is "1000 to 16500". In this case, it is determined that it is a "small hit", and if the random number value per special symbol is a value other than the above among 0 to 65535, it is determined that it is "missing".

In the reach determination table T2, the reach random number value (any of 0 to 127) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later) corresponds to "with reach" or "without reach". It is a table referred to for determining whether or not. In FIG. 9B, when the reach random number value is “0 to 13” in the “non-time saving state”, it is determined that there is “reach”, and the reach random number value is a numerical value other than “0 to 13” (14 to 13). In the case of "127)", it is shown that it is determined as "no reach". Further, in the "time saving state", when the reach random number value is "0 to 5", it is determined that there is "reach", and when the reach random number value is "a numerical value other than 0 to 5 (6 to 127)". Is shown to be determined as "no reach". The contents of the "time saving state" and the "non-time saving state" will be described later. In the reach determination table T2, the time-saving state is less likely to reach when lost than the non-time-saving state. This is to speed up the digestion speed of the special figure hold by selecting more non-reach loss with a short fluctuation time in the time saving state.

The special symbol per type determination table T3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the special symbol per type determination table T3 in the lottery of the special figure 1. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the special symbol per type determination table T3 in the lottery of the special figure 2. The special symbol hit type determination table T3 is set to "big hit type" or "big hit type" according to the special symbol hit type random value (any of 0 to 127) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later). It is a table referred to for determining "small hit type" and "special symbol type". In FIG. 10, when the “big hit” is won in the lottery of the special figure 1 in the “non-time saving state” and the special symbol hit type random value is “0 to 15”, the big hit type is “15R time saving 99 times big hit”. It is determined that "A" is determined, and the stop symbol of special figure 1 (special figure 1 stop symbol) that is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 41a is determined to be "time saving symbol 1". When the special symbol hit type random value is "16 to 63", the jackpot type is determined to be "15R time saving 99 times jackpot B", and the special figure 1 stop symbol is determined to be "time saving symbol 2". When the special symbol hit type random value is "64 to 127", the jackpot type is determined to be "15R time saving 5 times jackpot A", and the special figure 1 stop symbol is determined to be "time saving symbol 3". On the other hand, in the case of "small hit winning" in the lottery of special figure 1 in the "non-time saving state", the small hit type is different regardless of the special symbol hit type random value (any of 0 to 127). It is determined that "16R normal small hit A (substantially impossible to pass 5R / V)", and the special figure 1 stop symbol is determined to be "small hit symbol 1 without time reduction".

When the "big hit win" is won in the lottery of special figure 1 in the "time saving state", if the special symbol hit type random value is "0 to 63", the big hit type is determined to be "15R time saving 99 times big hit C" , The special figure 1 stop symbol is determined to be "time saving symbol 4". When the special symbol hit type random value is "64 to 127", the jackpot type is determined to be "15R time saving 5 times jackpot B", and the special figure 1 stop symbol is determined to be "time saving symbol 5".

It is determined that "16R normal small hit B (substantially impossible to pass 5R / V)", and the special figure 1 stop symbol is determined to be "small hit symbol 2 without time reduction".

In FIG. 11, when the “big hit” is won in the lottery of the special figure 2 in the “non-time saving state” and the special symbol hit type random value is “0 to 63”, the big hit type is “15R time saving 5 times big hit”. It is determined as "C", and the stop symbol of special figure 2 (special figure 2 stop symbol) which is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 41b is determined as "time saving symbol 6". When the special symbol hit type random value is "64 to 95", the jackpot type is determined to be "15R time saving 15 times jackpot A", and the special figure 2 stop symbol is determined to be "time saving symbol 7". When the special symbol hit type random value is "96 to 127", the jackpot type is determined to be "15R time saving 99 times jackpot D", and the special figure 2 stop symbol is determined to be "time saving symbol 8". On the other hand, when the special figure 2 lottery in the "non-time saving state" is "small hit winning" and the special symbol hit type random value is "0 to 63", the small hit type is "16R time saving 5 times small". It is determined that "hit A (substantially 15R / V can pass)", and the special figure 2 stop symbol of special figure 2 is determined to be "small hit symbol 1 with time reduction" on the second special symbol display 41b. When the random value of the special symbol per type random value is "64 to 127", it is determined that the small hit type is "16R time reduction 99 times small hit A (actually 15R / V can pass)", and the special figure 2 stop symbol is "time reduction". It is determined that there is a small hit symbol 2 ”.

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

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4. The special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 is a table referred to for determining the variation pattern according to the variation pattern random value (0 to 127) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later). Is. In FIG. 12, for example, when the first starting port 20 is won in a non-time saving state, it is determined as a “big hit” in the special symbol hit determination table T1, and the fluctuation pattern random value is “111-127”, the fluctuation pattern Is shown to be determined as "P2". Further, for example, in the non-time saving state, the first starting port 20 is won, the special symbol hit determination table T1 determines "missing", the reach determination table T2 determines "no reach", and the number of reserved balls is "1". In the case of "~ 2", it is shown that the fluctuation pattern is determined to be "P6" regardless of the fluctuation pattern random value (any of 0 to 127). Further, for example, when the second starting port 21 is won in the time saving state and it is determined as "small hit" in the special symbol hit determination table T1, regardless of the fluctuation pattern random value (any of 0 to 127). ), It is shown that the fluctuation pattern is determined to be "P17". As shown in FIG. 12, if the fluctuation pattern is determined, the fluctuation time is also determined. In addition, when it becomes a reach, it is also determined whether the reach becomes a normal reach or a super reach (SP reach). Also, when it comes to super reach, it is also decided whether or not there is a pseudo-ream.

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

The normal symbol hit type determination table T6 includes "hit type" and "hit type" according to the normal symbol hit type random value (any of 0 to 65535) acquired by the game control microcomputer 81 in the main control main process (described later). It is a table referred to for determining "type of ordinary symbol". In FIG. 13 (B), when the lottery of the normal figure in the "non-time saving state" is won, if the random value of the normal symbol hit type is "0 to 30", it is determined that the hit type is "long open 1". Then, the stop symbol (normal symbol stop symbol) of the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 42 is determined to be "hit symbol 1". When the normal symbol hit type random value is "100 to 170", the hit type is determined to be "short open 1", and the normal symbol stop symbol is determined to be "win symbol 2". When the random value of the normal symbol per type random value is 0 to 65535 and is a numerical value other than the above, it is indicated that the hit type is determined to be "short open 2" and the normal symbol stop symbol is determined to be "win symbol 3". Has been done. On the other hand, if the player wins the lottery for the regular figure in the "time saving state", it is determined that the winning type is "long open 2" regardless of the random value of the normal symbol per type (any of 0 to 65535). It is shown that the normal symbol stop symbol is determined as "hit symbol 4". By referring to the normal symbol per type determination table T6, it is possible to specify the "normal symbol stop symbol data" (not shown) corresponding to the normal symbol stop symbol.

The normal symbol variation pattern determination table T7 is a table that the game control microcomputer 81 is referred to in the main control main process (described later) to determine the variation time of the ordinary figure according to the lottery result and the winning type of the ordinary figure. Is. In FIG. 13C, for example, when the lottery result of the normal map in the non-time saving state is "hit" and the hit type is "long open 1", the fluctuation time of the normal map is determined to be "30 seconds". It is shown that Further, for example, when the lottery result of the normal map in the time saving state is "missing", it is shown that the fluctuation time of the normal map is determined to be "1 second".

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the electric chew opening pattern determination table T8. The electric chew opening pattern determination table T8 is used by the game control microcomputer 81 to determine the opening pattern of the electric chew 22 according to the normal figure stop symbol (normal figure stop symbol data) in the main control main process (described later). This is the referenced table. In FIG. 14A, for example, when the normal symbol stop symbol is “hit symbol 1”, the open pattern of the electric chew 22 is determined to be “open pattern 11”, and for example, the normal symbol stop symbol is “hit symbol”. At the time of "4", it is shown that the opening pattern is determined to be "opening pattern 14". FIG. 14B shows the contents of the opening patterns 11 to 14. In the opening pattern 11, the electric chew 22 having an opening (OP) time of 6 seconds, an opening time of 5 seconds, and an ending (ED) time of 1 second is opened once. In the opening patterns 11 and 12, the electric chew 22 having an opening (OP) time of 0.01 seconds, an opening time of 0.02 seconds, and an ending (ED) time of 0.01 seconds is opened once. In the opening pattern 14, the electric chew 22 having an opening (OP) time of 0.01 seconds, an opening time of 3 seconds, and an ending (ED) time of 0.01 seconds is opened once. However, the opening of the electric chew 22 is closed even if the opening time remains when a predetermined number of game balls have been won (specified number of winnings, maximum of 2).

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the large winning opening opening pattern determination table T9. In the large winning opening opening pattern determination table T9, in the main control main processing (described later) of the game control microcomputer 81, the first large winning opening 30 and the second large winning opening 30 and the second large winning opening are according to the special figure stop symbol (special figure stop symbol data). It is a table referred to for determining the opening pattern of a winning opening 35. In FIG. 15 (A), the special figure stop symbol data is "11H", "12H", "13H", "15H", "16H", "21H", "22H", "23H", "31H", " When it is "32H" or "33H", the opening pattern of the first winning opening 30 and the second winning opening 35 is determined to be "opening pattern 21", and the special figure stop symbol data is "14H" or "14H". When it is "17H", the opening pattern is determined to be "opening pattern 22", and when the special figure stop symbol data is "24H", "25H", "34H", "35H", "36H", or "37H". , It is shown that the open pattern is determined to be "open pattern 23". FIG. 15B shows the contents of each opening pattern 21 to 23. In the opening pattern 21, after the opening (OP) for 6 seconds, the first large winning opening 30 (long opening) is opened once in the 1st to 15th rounds and the opening time is 29.5 seconds. In the opening pattern 22, after the opening (OP) for 4 seconds, the second large winning opening 35 with an opening time of 1.6 seconds is opened once in the 1st round, and the opening number is opened in the 2nd to 6th rounds. The first big winning opening 30 with an opening time of 29.5 seconds is opened once (long opening), and at the 7th to 16th rounds, the opening time is once and the opening time of the first big winning opening 30 is 0.1 seconds. Open (short open). In the opening pattern 23, after the opening (OP) for 0.01 seconds, the second large winning opening 35 having an opening number of 1 time and an opening time of 1.6 seconds is opened in the 1st round, and in the 2nd to 16th rounds, the opening pattern 23 is opened. The first large winning opening 30 is opened (long opening) once, with an opening time of 29.5 seconds. However, the opening of the 1st prize opening 30 and the 2nd prize opening 35 is possible even if the opening time remains if a predetermined number of game balls have been won (specified number of prizes, maximum 9). It will be closed.

4. Explanation of big hits, etc. In the game machine 1, there are "big hits", "small hits", and "misses" as a result of a special symbol lottery (big hit small hit lottery). In the case of "big hit", the "big hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 41. In the case of "small hit", the "small hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 41. At the time of "missing", the "missing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 41. When the jackpot is won, the "big hit game (second special game)" that opens the first big winning opening 30 is executed in the opening pattern according to the type of the special symbol (the type of the big hit) that is stopped and displayed. "Small hit game (1st special game)" that opens the 2nd big prize opening 35 once with the opening pattern according to the type of special symbol (type of small hit) that is stopped and displayed when the small hit is won. Is executed. Then, when the game ball enters the V area 39 inside the second big winning opening 35 during the execution of the small hit game, the first big winning opening 30 is opened in an opening pattern according to the type of the winning small hit. The "big hit game (second special game)" to be released is executed. The jackpot game executed based on the result of the special symbol lottery being a jackpot winning is also referred to as a "type 1 jackpot game". Further, the jackpot game executed based on the passage of the game ball into the V region 39 is also referred to as a "type 2 jackpot game". In addition, big hit games and small hit games are also called "special games". This special game may include a round in which the large winning opening is opened multiple times in one round.

The jackpot game consists of multiple round games (unit open games) that open the first prize opening 30, an opening (OP) before the first round game starts, and after the final round game ends. Includes the ending (ED) of. Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game and ends with the start of the next round game. The closing time (interval time) of the first winning opening 30 between round games is included in the open round game before the closing. The small hit game consists of a small hit opening game that opens the second big winning opening 35, an opening before the small hit opening game starts (interval before opening), and an ending (closed) after the small hit opening game ends. After interval) and.

There are multiple types of jackpots. Here, as the jackpot type, "15R time reduction 99 times jackpot A to E", "15R time reduction 15 times jackpot A, B", and "15R time reduction 5 times jackpot A to D" are set. Each of these jackpots is a jackpot that controls the game state to the "time saving state and high base state" described later after executing the jackpot game (type 1 jackpot game) in which the first jackpot 30 is opened over 15R. .. On the other hand, these hits differ in the number of time reductions at which the "time reduction state and high base state" after the big hit game ends. Here, the "time reduction number" is the number of variable display (variable display) of the special symbol that can be executed in the "time reduction state and high base state" after the jackpot game, and is preset for each jackpot type. For example, in "15R time reduction 99 times jackpot A to E", the number of time reductions is 99 times, and in "15R time reduction 15 times jackpot A, B", the number of time reductions is 15 times. It should be noted that the "time saving state and high base state" ends when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed even before the number of time reductions is achieved.

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

In each of the above small hits, the second big winning opening 35 is opened once for 1.6 seconds in the small hit game after winning (FIG. 15). On the other hand, the opening time in the small hit game differs depending on the small hit type. Specifically, the "16R normal small hit" (opening pattern 22) has an opening time of 4 seconds, and is "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit". The opening time of "hit" and "16R time reduction 99 times small hit" (opening pattern 23) is 0.01 seconds. The reason why the opening time of the small hit game differs depending on the small hit type is that the opening timing of the second large winning opening 35 with respect to the V opening / closing member 71 that has been moving in a constant motion from the start of this opening is changed. Because. Here, the V opening / closing member 71 is opened for 4 seconds after the opening for 0.01 seconds when the small hit game is started. In the opening pattern 22, since the second big winning opening 35 is opened 4 seconds after the small hit game is started, the V opening / closing member 71 closes 0.01 seconds after the second big winning opening 35 is opened. become. Therefore, in the "16R normal small hit", it is substantially impossible to pass through V during the small hit game. On the other hand, in the opening pattern 23, the second big winning opening 35 and the V opening / closing member 71 are opened at the same time 0.01 seconds after the small hit game is started, and both of them continue to be opened for 1.6 seconds, and the second big winning is won. The V opening / closing member 71 closes 2.4 seconds after the mouth 35 is closed. Therefore, in "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", "16R time reduction 99 times small hit", V passage during the small hit game becomes possible. ing.

"16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", "16R time reduction 99 times small hit" are big hits when the big hit game is executed after the small hit game. This is to control the game state after the game to the "time saving state and high base state" described later. "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", "16R time reduction 99 times small hit" have the same number of time reductions in "time reduction state and high base state", respectively. different. For example, in "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", the time reduction number is 10 times, and in "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", the time reduction number is 15 times. On the other hand, the "16R normal small hit" is a hit that controls the game state to the "non-time saving state and low base state" described later after the big hit game when the big hit game is executed. However, since the "16R normal small hit" is a small hit that is substantially impossible to pass through the V, the big hit game is rarely executed.

In addition, all the small hits in the special figure 1 lottery in the non-time saving state are "16R normal small hits" in which V passage is practically impossible. On the other hand, the distribution rate of small hits in the special figure 2 lottery in the time saving state is 50% for "16R time saving 5 times small hit", 25% for "16R time saving 10 times small hit", and "16R time saving 15 times small hit". "Is 12.5%," 16R time reduction 99 times small hit "is 12.5%, and" 16R normal small hit "is not included. Since the winning probability of the big hit does not change between the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery, the probability of winning either the "big hit" or the "small hit in which the big hit game (type 2 big hit game) is executed" is The special figure 2 lottery in the non-time saving state is higher than the special drawing 1 lottery in the non-time saving state. In this way, in the game machine 1, the game ball is hit to the second start port 21 by hitting right in the time saving state, rather than in the state where the game ball is won in the first starting port 20 by hitting the left in the non-time saving state. It is set so that it is more advantageous for the player to win the prize.

In the game machine 1, there are "win" and "loss" as a result of the ordinary symbol lottery (winning lottery). In the case of "hit", the "hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 42. At the time of "missing", the "missing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 42. If a hit is won, a "hit game (normal game)" as an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 22 is executed with an opening pattern corresponding to the type of normal symbol (type of hit) displayed as a stop. In this hit game (ordinary game), the electric chew may be opened multiple times in one round. The winning game (ordinary game) includes one round game (unit open game), an opening (OP) before the round game starts, and an ending (ED) after the round game ends. .. There are multiple types of hits. Here, "long opening 1", "long opening 2", "short opening 1", and "short opening 2" are set as the hit types. These hits have different fluctuation times, opening times, opening times, and ending times.

5. Description of game state The game control microcomputer 81 of the game machine 1 can execute "variation time reduction control" for each of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display 41 and the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display 42. Is. Here, the state in which the game control microcomputer 81 controls the fluctuation time reduction with respect to the special symbol of the special symbol display 41 is referred to as a "time reduction state", and the state in which the fluctuation time reduction control is not performed is simply a "non-time reduction state". ". In the time-saving state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the derivation display of the display result) is shorter than that in the non-time-saving state. In the game control microcomputer 81, a special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 (FIG. 12) is defined so that a variation pattern having a shorter variation time is often selected in the time saving state than in the non-time saving state. The fluctuation pattern is determined using. That is, when the game control microcomputer 81 executes the fluctuation time reduction control for the special symbol of the special symbol display 41, the special symbol is variable as compared with the case where the fluctuation time reduction control is not executed. It becomes easier to select a short fluctuation time as the fluctuation time of the display. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure hold becomes faster, and an effective prize (a prize that can be memorized as the special figure hold) to the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit under the smooth progress of the game.

The game control microcomputer 81 executes the fluctuation time shortening control for the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 42 in synchronization with the fluctuation time shortening control for the special symbol of the special symbol display 41. That is, the game control microcomputer 81 executes the fluctuation time shortening control for the normal symbol in the time saving state, and does not execute it in the non-time saving state. In the time-saving state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shorter than in the non-time-saving state. In the game control microcomputer 81, a normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table T7 (FIG. 13) is defined so that a fluctuation pattern having a shorter fluctuation time is often selected in the time saving state than in the non-time saving state. The fluctuation pattern is determined using. That is, when the game control microcomputer 81 executes the fluctuation time reduction control for the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 42, the normal symbol is variable as compared with the case where the fluctuation time reduction control is not executed. It becomes easier to select a short fluctuation time as the fluctuation time of the display.

Further, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 22 in the auxiliary game tends to be longer than in the non-time saving state (FIG. 13). Even in the non-time saving state, if "long opening 1" is won in the normal symbol lottery, the opening pattern of the electric chew is "opening pattern 11", which is a long opening time of 5 seconds, but the winning type is "long opening". The probability of being assigned to "Open 1" is as low as 31/65536, and in most cases, even if you win, the open time will be 0.02 seconds. On the other hand, in the time-saving state, the opening time of the electric chew is always 3 seconds when winning, so that in the time-saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 22 in the auxiliary game is substantially longer than in the non-time-saving state. It can be said that it is easy to become. That is, it can be said that the game control microcomputer 81 executes the open time extension control for the electric chew 22 in the time saving state. In the situation where the game control microcomputer 81 is executing the fluctuation time shortening control for the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 42 and the open time extension control for the electric chew 22, these controls are not executed. In comparison, the electric chew 22 is opened frequently, and the game ball frequently wins a prize at the second starting port 21. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of launched balls, becomes high. Therefore, the state in which these controls are executed is called a "high base state", and the state in which these controls are not executed is called a "low base state". In the high base state, you can aim for a big hit without significantly reducing the number of game balls you have. The high base state does not have to execute all the above controls. That is, by executing one or more of the fluctuation time shortening control for the normal symbol and the open time extension control for the electric chew 22 of the normal symbol display 42, the electric chew 22 is more than when the control is not executed. Should be easy to open. Further, the high base state may be controlled independently without being accompanied by the time saving state.

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

In the high base state (time saving state), it is more advantageous to allow the game ball to enter the right game area 3B (FIG. 1) by hitting right. This is because the electric chew 22 is easier to open than in the low base state (non-time saving state), and it is easier to win the second starting port 21 than to win the first starting port 20. is there. For this reason, in the high base state, the game ball is passed through the first gate 28, which triggers the normal symbol lottery, and the game ball is hit right to the second starting port 21 to win a prize. As a result, it is possible to obtain a large number of starting prizes (winning to the starting port) rather than hitting left. In addition, in the game machine 1, the game is played by right-handed even during the big hit game. On the other hand, in the low base state, it is more advantageous to allow the game ball to enter the left game area 3A (FIG. 1) by hitting the left side. This is because the electric chew 22 is less likely to be opened as compared with the high base state, and it is easier to win the first starting port 20 than to win the second starting port 21. For this reason, in the low base state, while passing the game ball through the second gate 29, which is an opportunity for the normal symbol lottery, the game ball is left-handed to win the game ball in the first starting port 20. This allows you to get a lot of starting prizes rather than hitting right. On the other hand, even in the low base state (non-time saving state), when the "long opening 1" is won by passing the game ball to the second gate 29, the electric chew 22 is opened for 5 seconds, so that the second 2 Make a right-handed strike to get the game ball to the starting port 21. After closing the electric chew 22, left-handed again.

6. Operation of Game Control Microcomputer 81 The operation of the game control microcomputer 81 provided on the main control board 80 (FIG. 4) will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 34. Counters, flags, statuses, buffers, etc. that appear in the operation description of the game control microcomputer 81 are provided in the main RAM 84. As described below, the game control microcomputer 81 can be used as a hit / fail determination means, a symbol control means, a hit game execution means, a game state control means, and a hit type selection means by reading a program stored in the main ROM 83. It works (see, for example, FIGS. 22, 27-29, 31, 32).

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

After the initial setting, the game control microcomputer 81 prohibits the interrupt of the interrupt process (step S002), and performs the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (step S003). In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process, the game control microcomputer 81 has various random number counter values (random number value per special symbol, type random number value per special symbol, reach random number value, etc.) shown in FIG. 8 (A). The variable pattern random number value, the random number value per ordinary symbol, and the random number value per ordinary symbol) are added and updated by 1. When each random number counter value reaches the set upper limit value, it returns to "0" and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than "0" or may be randomly changed. Further, each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated by using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

After the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process, the game control microcomputer 81 permits the interrupt of the interrupt process (step S004). While the interrupt is enabled, the main timer interrupt process (step S005) can be executed. The main timer interrupt process is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the main CPU 82 in a predetermined cycle (for example, a 4 msec cycle). That is, the main timer interrupt process is executed every predetermined cycle (for example, 4 msec cycle). Then, from the end of the main timer interrupt process to the start of the next main timer interrupt process, various counter value update processes by the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process are repeatedly executed. .. If an interrupt pulse is input to the main CPU 82 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled.

[Main timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the main timer interrupt process (FIG. 16: step S005). In the main-side timer interrupt processing, the game control microcomputer 81 first performs random number update processing (step S101). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 updates various random number counter values shown in FIG. 8A. This random number update process is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed in the main control main process (FIG. 16) described above. That is, the update processing of various random number counter values is performed during the execution period of the main timer interrupt processing and other periods (the period from the end of the main timer interrupt processing to the start of the next main timer interrupt processing). It is done in both.

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

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

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

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

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

In step S210, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the first starting port 20. This determination is made based on whether or not the game ball is detected by the first start port sensor 20a. When the game ball has not won a prize in the first starting port 20 (step S210: NO), this process ends. When a game ball wins in the first starting port 20 (step S210: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is "4 (upper limit value)" (step S210: YES). Step S211). The special figure 1 hold ball number is the number of the first special figure hold, and more specifically, it is the value of the counter provided in the main RAM 84 for counting the number of the first special figure hold. If the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is “4” (step S211: YES), this process ends. When the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 is "3" or less (step S211: NO), after adding "1" to the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 (step S212), the random number acquisition process related to the special figure 1 is performed (step). S213). Here, similarly to the above-mentioned special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (step S208), the value of the random number counter per special symbol, the value of the random number counter of the type per special symbol, the value of the reach random number counter, and the value of the variable pattern random number counter are set. get. The game control microcomputer 81 stores the acquired random number value group in the storage area corresponding to the current number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 among the first to fourth storage areas of the first special figure reserved storage area 85a. The game control microcomputer 81 temporarily stores (holds) the acquired random number value group in a buffer (predetermination buffer) different from the first special figure reservation storage area 85a for the special figure 1 pre-determination process. Let me. After the special figure 1 related random number acquisition process, the game control microcomputer 81 performs the special figure 1 pre-determination process (step S214). The special figure 1 pre-determination process is the same as the above-mentioned special figure 2 pre-determination process.

[Normal operation processing]
FIG. 19 is a flowchart of a normal operation process (FIG. 17: step S104). The game control microcomputer 81 first determines whether or not the electric chew 22 is operating (step S501). When the electric chew 22 is operating (step S501: YES), the process proceeds to step S540. When the electric chew 22 is not in operation (step S501: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the stop display of the normal symbol is in progress (whether the fluctuation stop time has elapsed) (step S502). When the stop display of the normal symbol is being displayed (step S502: YES), the process proceeds to step S531. When the stop display of the normal symbol is not in progress (step S502: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the normal symbol is changing (step S503). When the normal symbol is changing (step S503: YES), the process proceeds to step S521. When the normal symbol is not changing (step S503: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is "0" (step S504). When the number of reserved balls is "0" (step S504: YES), this process ends. When the number of reserved balls is not "0" (step S504: NO), the number of normal symbol reserved balls is decremented by 1 (step S505). Therefore, when the game ball passes through the first gate 28 or the second gate 29 while the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is "0", the normal symbol is once in step S203 of the start port sensor detection process (FIG. 18). The number of reserved balls in the above becomes "1", and then in step S505, the reserved balls are digested and the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol immediately becomes "0". This also applies to the number of reserved balls of the special symbol. That is, in step S207 and step S212 of the start port sensor detection process (FIG. 18), the number of reserved special symbols is once set to "1", and then steps S1404 and step in the special symbol standby process (FIG. 21) described later. In S1410, the hold is exhausted and the number of hold balls of the special symbol becomes "0". In addition, the decrement of the number of normal symbol hold balls (digestion of the normal symbol hold) is executed together with the clear process for clearing the hold information (various random values) stored in the first storage area of the normal symbol hold storage area 86. To.

Next, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a hit determination with reference to the normal symbol hit determination table T5 (FIG. 13 (A)) (step S506). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first has a random value per ordinary symbol as a determination value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first one of the normal figure hold) of the normal figure hold storage area 86. Is read. Then, the random value per normal symbol, the game state (whether or not it is in the time saving state), and the normal symbol hit determination table T5 are used to determine whether or not it is a hit. For example, in the non-time saving state, when the random value per normal symbol is "0" to "254", it is determined as "hit", and when the random value per normal symbol is otherwise "255", it is "missing". (FIG. 13 (A)).

Next, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the type of the normal symbol (normal symbol stop symbol) with reference to the normal symbol hit type determination table T6 (FIG. 13 (B)) (step S507). Specifically, when the game control microcomputer 81 wins in the hit determination in the above (step S506), first, the normal symbol hit stored in the first storage area of the normal figure reservation storage area 86 Read the type random value. Then, the hit type and the normal symbol (normal symbol stop symbol) are determined by using the normal symbol per type random value, the game state (whether or not the time is shortened), and the normal symbol hit type determination table T6. For example, in the non-time saving state, when the random value of the normal symbol per type is "0" to "30", the hit type is determined to be "long open 1", and the normal symbol is determined to be "win symbol 1". .. When the random value of the normal symbol hit type is "100" to "170", the hit type is determined to be "short open 1", and the normal symbol is determined to be "win symbol 2". When the normal symbol hit type random value is other than that, the hit type is determined to be "short open 2", and the normal symbol is determined to be "win symbol 3" (FIG. 13 (B)). On the other hand, in the case of "missing" in the above-mentioned collision determination, "missing symbol" is set as a normal symbol.

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

In step S521, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the fluctuation time of the normal symbol has elapsed and the game has ended. The fluctuation time of the normal symbol is the fluctuation time selected in step S508 (FIG. 13 (C)). When the fluctuation time has not ended (step S521: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this process. That is, the variable display of the normal symbol is continued. On the other hand, when the fluctuation time has ended (step S521: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 displays the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, and displays the fluctuation display of the normal symbol (the normal symbol that hits the normal symbol or the normal symbol that is lost). The figure is stopped at (stop symbol) (step S522). Further, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the normal symbol fluctuation stop command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 in order to notify the sub-control board 90 of the fluctuation stop of the normal symbol (step S523). After that, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the stop time of the normal symbol and finishes this process (step S524). Here, the stop time of the normal symbol is 0.5 seconds.

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

In step S501 described above, when the electric chew 22 is operating (step S501: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the closing condition of the electric chew 22 is satisfied (step S540). The closing condition here is that the number of winnings in the electric chew 22 reaches the specified maximum number of winnings (for example, 2), or the opening time of the electric chew 22 elapses and the electric chew 22 is closed. One of the things that has been reached is satisfied. The opening time of the electric chew 22 is an opening time corresponding to the opening pattern selected in step S534 (see FIG. 14). If the closing condition of the electric chew 22 is not satisfied (step S540: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, when the closing condition of the electric chew 22 is satisfied (step S540: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 hits the sub-control board 90 and notifies the start of the ending of the game (normal game) by the normal symbol ending. The command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 (step S541). Further, the game control microcomputer 81 closes (closes) the electric chew 22 to stop its operation (step S542), and ends this process.

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

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

In step S1401, when the number of reserved balls in special figure 2 is "0" (step S1401: YES), the number of reserved balls in the first starting port 20 (special figure 1 reserved) is "0" in the game control microcomputer 81. It is determined whether or not there is (step S1407). When the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 is "0" (step S1407: YES), that is, in the first special figure reserved storage area 85a, the random number value group acquired due to the winning of the first starting port 20 If there is no memory, the process proceeds to step S1413. When the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 is "1" or more (step S1407: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 has a special symbol hit detection process (step S1408) and a special symbol variation pattern selection process (step S1409). To execute. Details of these processes will be described later. After the special variation pattern selection process, the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is decremented by one (step S1410). Next, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the storage location of the hold information (various random values) stored in the first to fourth storage areas of the first special figure hold storage area 85a to the side read from the current position. Along with shifting by one, the hold information stored in the place farthest from the read side in the first special figure hold storage area 85a is cleared (step S1411). For example, when the hold information is stored in the first to third storage areas, the hold information stored in the third storage area is cleared, and the hold information is stored in the first to fourth storage areas. If so, the hold information stored in the fourth storage area is cleared. By the above steps, the first special figure hold is digested in the order in which it was held. In this case, on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the reserved image 9A (the rightmost reserved image 9A among the four reserved images 9A) corresponding to the first storage area of the first special figure reserved storage area 85a is displayed. It shifts to the reserved digested image display area side and is displayed as the reserved digested image 9C. Further, when there is hold information in the second to fourth storage areas of the first special figure hold storage area 85a, the hold image 9B corresponding to the second to fourth storage areas (the right of the four hold images 9A). The second, third, and fourth reserved images 9A) are shifted to the right by one. As a result, the player can recognize that one of the first special figure reservations has been exhausted. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 performs the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (step S1412). In the special figure 1 variation start process, the variation start command is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 to start the variation display of the first special symbol, and the special operation status is set to “2” (step S1406). The fluctuation start command (special figure 1 fluctuation start command) set in the special figure 1 fluctuation start process includes information on the special symbol stop symbol data set in the special symbol hit detection process (step S1408) and special symbol fluctuation. Information about the fluctuation pattern set in the pattern selection process (step S1409) is included.

In step S1407, when the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is "0" (step S1407: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is a standby screen (step S1407). S1413). The standby screen is a demo screen for waiting for customers. The game control microcomputer 81 may be determined by, for example, ON / OFF of the demo screen display flag for waiting for customers. If the screen is on standby (step S1413: YES), this process ends. If it is not the standby screen (step S1413: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 sets the customer waiting standby command for displaying the standby scene in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 after the elapse of the predetermined standby time. (Step S1414), this process is completed. As described above, according to the special symbol standby process of the present embodiment, the variable display of the special symbol based on the first special symbol hold is executed only when the second special symbol hold is "0". That is, the digestion of the second special figure hold is executed in preference to the digestion of the first special figure hold.

[Special symbol collision detection processing]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the special symbol collision determination process (FIG. 21: steps S1402 and S1408). Since the process flow of the hit determination process (step S1402) of the special figure 2 and the hit determination process (step S1408) of the special figure 1 are the same, they will be described together. In the special symbol hit determination process, first, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a hit determination with reference to the special symbol hit determination table T1 (FIG. 9A) (step S1502). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out a random number value per special symbol as a determination value. For example, in the hit determination process of the special figure 2, the random value per special symbol stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first item of the second special figure hold) of the second special figure hold storage area 85b is read out. In the hit determination process of the special figure 1, the random value per special symbol stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first item of the first special figure hold) of the first special figure hold storage area 85a is read out. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not it is a big hit and whether or not it is a small hit by using the reference special symbol hit determination table T1 and the read special symbol per random value. In this way, the game control microcomputer 81 functions as a "win / fail determination means".

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

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

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

[Special symbol variation pattern selection process]
23 and 24 are flowcharts of the special symbol variation pattern selection process (FIG. 21: steps S1403 and S1409). Since the processing flow of the variation pattern selection process (step S1403) of the special figure 2 and the variation pattern selection process (step S1409) of the special figure 1 are the same, they will be described together. In the variation pattern selection process, first, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the game state is the time saving state (step S1600). Whether or not the time saving state is determined is determined by whether or not the time saving flag is ON. When the time is shortened (step S1600: YES), the process proceeds to step S1612. When the time is not shortened (step S1600: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (step S1602).

When the jackpot flag is ON (step S1602: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 selects the variation pattern by referring to the non-time saving state jackpot table in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 (FIG. 12). This is done (step S1603). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out the fluctuation pattern random number value as the determination value. For example, in the variation pattern selection process of the special figure 2, the variation pattern random value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first item of the second special figure reservation) of the second special figure reservation storage area 85b is read out. In the variation pattern selection process of the special figure 1, the variation pattern random value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first one of the first special figure hold) of the first special figure hold storage area 85a is read out. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 selects a variation pattern using the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 and the variation pattern random value. Here, as a table for the non-time saving state jackpot, the portion corresponding to the non-time saving state jackpot in the special symbol fluctuation pattern determination table T4 shown in FIG. 12 (in the special figure 1, the fluctuation patterns are “P1” and “P2””. The part of, in Special Figure 2, the part where the fluctuation pattern is "P14") is referred to (the address is set). From the read variation pattern random value, either "P1" or "P2" is selected as the variation pattern in Special Figure 1, and "P14" is selected as the variation pattern in Special Figure 2 regardless of the variation pattern random value.

In step S1602, when the big hit flag is OFF (step S1602: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the small hit flag is ON (step S1604). When the small hit flag is ON (step S1604: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 refers to the non-time saving state small hit table in the special symbol fluctuation pattern determination table T4 (FIG. 12) for the fluctuation pattern. Make a selection (step S1605). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out the fluctuation pattern random number value as the determination value in the same manner as in step S1603 described above. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 selects a variation pattern using the portion of the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 corresponding to the small hit in the non-time saving state and the variation pattern random value. Here, in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4, the portion corresponding to the small hit in the non-time saving state is the portion where the variation pattern is "P3" in the special figure 1 and the portion where the variation pattern is "P15" in the special figure 2. Therefore, these are selected regardless of the fluctuation pattern random value.

In step S1604, when the small hit flag is OFF (step S1604: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the reach random number value is the reach establishment random number value (step S1606). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 first reads out the reach random number value as the determination value. In the variation pattern selection process of the special figure 2, the reach random value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first one of the second special figure hold) of the second special figure hold storage area 85b is read out. In the variation pattern selection process of the special figure 1, the reach random value stored in the first storage area (corresponding to the first one of the first special figure hold) of the first special figure hold storage area 85a is read out. Next, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the presence or absence of reach using the reach determination table T2 (FIG. 9B) and the reach random number value. Here, since it is in the non-time saving state, the reach is set based on the non-time saving state table (the part where the reach determination value (reach establishment random number value) is “0” to “13”) in the reach determination table T2. Determine the presence or absence.

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

When the reach random number value is not the reach establishment random number value (step S1606: NO), that is, in the case of loss without reach, the game control microcomputer 81 is used in the special symbol variation pattern determination table T4 to reach in a non-time saving state. None The fluctuation pattern is selected with reference to the table for loss (step S1608). Here, as a table for non-reach loss in the non-time saving state, the portion corresponding to the non-reach loss in the non-time saving state in the special symbol fluctuation pattern determination table T4 shown in FIG. 12 (in Special Figure 1, the fluctuation pattern is "P6". , "P7", and in Special Figure 2, the variation pattern is "P15"). In the special figure 1, one of “P6” and “P7” is selected as the fluctuation pattern from the read fluctuation pattern random value and the current number of reserved balls (1 to 4) in the special figure 1. In the special figure 2, “P15” is selected as the fluctuation pattern regardless of the read fluctuation pattern random value. In the special figure 1, since the fluctuation pattern selected changes depending on the number of reserved balls, the function of shortening fluctuation according to the number of reserved balls works. That is, in Special Figure 1, when the number of reserved balls is "3" to "4", more fluctuation patterns with a shorter fluctuation time are selected than when the number of reserved balls is "1" to "2". It is supposed to be done. As a result, when the number of reserved balls is large, the digestion speed of the special figure reservation can be increased.

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

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

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

[Special symbol confirmation process]
FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the special symbol determination process (FIG. 20: step S1306). The game control microcomputer 81 first determines whether or not the stop time of the special symbol has elapsed (step S1800). If the stop time has not elapsed (step S1800: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, when the stop time has elapsed (step S1800: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 performs the game state management process (step S1801). The game state management process is a process for switching the game state according to the number of changes of the special symbol executed during the time saving state, and the contents will be described later. After the game state management process, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (step S1802).

When the jackpot flag is ON (step S1802: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 sets the opening pattern of the jackpot according to the type of winning jackpot (step S1803). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the opening pattern of the large winning opening from the special figure stop symbol data with reference to the large winning opening opening pattern determination table T9 (FIG. 15), and determines the opening pattern of the determined opening opening. set. Here, regardless of the jackpot type (regardless of whether the special figure stop symbol data is 11H to 13H, 15H, 16H, 21H to 23H, 31H to 33H), the opening pattern of the winning opening is "opening pattern 21". "Is set. Set the value of the round counter together with the set of the opening pattern of the big winning opening to the number of rounds according to the type of winning big hit. The round counter counts the number of unit opening games (round games) executed during the jackpot game. Here, “15” is set in the round counter regardless of the jackpot type (FIG. 15 (B)).

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

In step S1802, when the big hit flag is OFF (step S1802: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the small hit flag is ON (step S1810). When the small hit flag is ON (step S1810: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 sets the opening pattern of the large winning opening according to the type of the winning small hit (step S1811). Specifically, the game control microcomputer 81 determines the opening pattern of the large winning opening from the special figure stop symbol data by referring to the large winning opening opening pattern determination table T9 in the same manner as in step S1803 described above. Set the open pattern. Here, for example, when the small hit type is "16R normal small hit A" (the special figure stop symbol data is "14H"), the "opening pattern 22" is set as the opening pattern of the winning opening. Further, for example, when the small hit type is "16R time reduction 5 times small hit A" (special figure stop symbol data is "24H"), "opening pattern 23" is set as the opening pattern of the winning opening. Set the value of the round counter together with the set of the opening pattern of the big winning opening to the number of rounds according to the type of winning small hit. Here, “16” is set in the round counter regardless of the small hit type (FIG. 15 (B)).

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

In step S1810, when the small hit flag is OFF (step S1810: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 sets the special operation status to "1" (step S1820), and ends this process. As a result, neither the big hit game nor the small hit game is started, and the process proceeds to the special symbol standby process (FIG. 20: step S1302) again, and the special symbol hit determination for the next hold is executed.

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

The game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not at least one of the values of the first time saving counter C1 and the second time saving counter C2 becomes "0" as a result of step S2015 or step S2020 (step). S2030). If neither the value of the first time saving counter C1 nor the value of the second time saving counter C2 is "0" (step S2030: NO), the process skips to step S2040. When at least one value of the first time saving counter C1 and the second time saving counter C2 is "0" (step S2030: YES), the time saving flag is switched to OFF (step S2035). As a result, the gaming state can be switched from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. That is, when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol executed in the time saving state reaches the number of times shown in FIG. 30, the gaming state is switched to the non-time saving state.

In step S2040, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the game state designation command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84, and ends this process. The game state designation command includes information on the currently set current game state (whether or not it is in the time saving state, the respective values of the first time saving counter and the second time saving counter, and the like).

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

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

When it is time (timing) to open the first special winning opening 30 (step S2203: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 performs the large winning opening opening process (step S2207). Here, the game control microcomputer 81 opens the first large winning opening 30 according to the opening pattern (FIG. 15B) according to the hit type (big hit type or small hit type). When the type 1 jackpot game is being executed, the first jackpot 30 is opened according to the opening pattern 21 regardless of the jackpot type. When the two-kind big hit game is being executed, the first big winning opening 30 is opened according to the opening pattern 22 or the opening pattern 23 according to the small hit type. After the large winning opening opening process, the game control microcomputer 81 sets a round designation command (step S2208). The round designation command includes information on the number of rounds of the special game (small hit game and big hit game) being executed, and the game control microcomputer 81 sets the round designation command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84. To do. As a result, the number of rounds of the special game can be notified to the sub control board 90. In this embodiment, the first large winning opening 30 is not opened a plurality of times during one round game. However, as another embodiment, when the first large winning opening 30 is opened a plurality of times during one round game, the game control microcomputer 81 opens the first large winning opening 30 by 1. It may be determined whether or not it is the first opening in the round, and the round designation command may be set only in the case of the first opening. After setting the round specification command, this process ends.

In step S2202 described above, when the first large winning opening 30 is open (step S2202: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the closing condition of the first large winning opening 30 is satisfied. This is done (step S2210). The closing condition here is that the number of winnings in the first large winning opening 30 in the round game has reached the specified maximum number of winnings (for example, 9 per round), or the first large winning opening 30 is used. It means that one of the times when the closing time is reached (that is, a predetermined opening time (for example, 29.5 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the first large winning opening 30) is satisfied. Then, when the closing condition of the first special winning opening 30 is not satisfied (step S2210: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this process. On the other hand, when the closing condition of the first prize opening 30 is satisfied (step S2210: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 closes (closes) the first prize opening 30 (step S2211), and then the present Finish the process.

In step S2203 described above, if it is not the time (timing) for opening the first large winning opening 30, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the round game is completed (step S2220). Here, one round ends after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed from the closing of the first large winning opening 30. This is because, as described above, the closing time (interval time) of the first large winning opening 30 between the round games is included in the open round game before the closing. The game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the round game is completed depending on whether or not a predetermined interval time has elapsed since the first large winning opening 30 was closed. If the round game is not completed (step S2220: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this process.

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

In step S2200 described above, when the jackpot end flag is ON (step S2200: YES), the final round has ended, so that the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the jackpot ending time has elapsed. This is done (step S2230). If the ending time has not elapsed (step S2230: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this process. On the other hand, when the ending time has elapsed (step S2230: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 turns off the jackpot end flag (step S2231), turns off the jackpot flag (step S2232), and sets the special operation status. Is set to "1" (step S2233). As a result, in the next special operation process, the special symbol standby process (FIG. 20: step S1302) is executed again. After that, the game control microcomputer 81 executes the game state setting process (step S2234) described later, and ends this process. The game state setting process (FIG. 29) sets the game state (time saving state or non-time saving state) after the big hit game, and in the case of the time saving state, the first time saving counter C1 and the second time saving according to the hit type. This is a process of setting an initial value (number of time reductions) in the counter C2.

[Game status setting process]
FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the game state setting process (FIG. 28: step S2234). The game control microcomputer 81 functions as a "game state control means" by executing the above-mentioned game state management process (FIG. 27) and the game state setting process. In the game control microcomputer 81, first, the jackpot game executed this time is a time saving hit (that is, "15R time saving 5 times big hit", "15R time saving 15 times big hit", "15R time saving 99 times big hit", "16R time saving 5 times small". It is determined whether or not the game is a big hit game executed with the "hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", "16R time reduction 99 times small hit") as an opportunity (step S2301). .. If the time saving hit is not the trigger (step S2301: NO), that is, if the current jackpot game is executed triggered by the normal hit (that is, "16R normal small hit"), the process skips to step S2309. On the other hand, when the current jackpot game is executed with the time saving hit as an opportunity (step S2301: YES), the time saving flag is turned ON (step S2302), and the game control microcomputer 81 uses the first time saving counter C1 and the second time saving. The set values shown in the setting table (FIG. 30) described later are set in the counter C2 (step S2303). As a result, the game state after the big hit game this time is set to the "time saving state and high base state". This "time saving state and high base state" is a condition that the variable display of the special symbol is performed a predetermined number of times, or that the next jackpot (1st class jackpot or 2nd class jackpot) is won. It ends with the establishment of. In step S2309, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the game state designation command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84, and ends this process. The game state designation command includes information on the currently set game state (whether or not it is in the time saving state, the respective values of the first time saving counter C1 and the second time saving counter C2, and the like).

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

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

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

In step S2402 described above, when the second large winning opening 35 is open (step S2402: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the closing condition of the second large winning opening 35 is satisfied. This is done (step S2410). The closing conditions here are that the number of winnings in the second major winning opening 35 has reached the specified maximum number of winnings (for example, 10), or that it is time to close the second major winning opening 35. (That is, a predetermined opening time (for example, 1.5 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the second special winning opening 35) is satisfied. When the closing condition of the second special winning opening 35 is not satisfied (step S2410: NO), the game control microcomputer 81 ends this process. On the other hand, when the closing condition of the second special winning opening 35 is satisfied (step S2410: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 closes (closes) the second special winning opening 35, so that the large winning opening closing process is performed. This is done (step S2412). Here, as a small hit end process for ending the small hit game, the ending command of the small hit game is set in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84. After the big winning opening closing process, the game control microcomputer 81 decrements the value of the round counter by 1 (step S2414). This is because the small hit game corresponds to the 1st round. After that, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the small hit end flag to ON (step S2416), and ends this process.

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

In step S2430 described above, when the V flag is ON (step S2430: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 switches the V flag to OFF (step S2436), and the jackpot flag is used to execute the two-kind jackpot game. Is switched to ON (step S2437), and the special operation status is set to "4" (step S2438). When the special operation status is set to "4", the process shifts to the special electric accessory process 1 (big hit game) in the next special operation process (FIG. 20). After setting the special operation status, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the time saving flag is ON (step S2440), and if it is ON (step S2440: YES), switches it to OFF (step S2442). As a result, the non-time saving state is set during the execution of the two-kind jackpot game. After that, in order to start the jackpot game, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the opening command of the two types of jackpot games (step S2444), and starts the opening of the jackpot game (step S2446). As a result, the small hit game in which the second big winning opening 35 is opened for a short time is shifted to the two-kind big hit game.

[V opening / closing member control process]
FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the V opening / closing member control process (FIG. 17: step S106). The game control microcomputer 81 first determines whether or not the V opening / closing member operation flag is ON (step S2500). When the V opening / closing member operation flag is OFF (step S2500: NO), this process ends. When the V opening / closing member operation flag is ON (step S2500: YES), the "V opening / closing member operation process" for operating the V opening / closing member 71 in a predetermined operation pattern is performed (step S2502), and in a predetermined period (timing). Perform the "V validity period setting process" in which the V passage of the game ball is regarded as valid (step S2504). When the V opening / closing member operation flag is ON, the opening of the small hit game is started (FIGS. 26: steps S1812 and S1814). Therefore, the V opening / closing member operation process and the V validity period setting process are performed according to the small hit game. It will be done.

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

In the V validity period setting process, the V validity period is set for the constant operation of the V opening / closing member 71 as described above. The "V valid period" is a period in which when the V region sensor 39a detects a game ball, the detection is regarded as valid and the V flag is turned on. The V valid period is from the start of opening the V region 39 (when the control of the V opening / closing member 71 is started to allow passage) to the elapse of a predetermined time. The predetermined time is set to be longer than the opening time of the V region 39 (the time for controlling the V opening / closing member 71 to pass through) (here, the opening time of the V region 39 + 1 second). This is because the time lag until the game ball that has passed the arrangement position of the V opening / closing member 71 reaches the V region 39 is taken into consideration. In the V valid period setting process, a timer for measuring the V valid period is set, and based on the timer, the V valid flag is turned ON when it is time to enable the V area 39, and the V area 39 is set. When it is time to disable it, the V valid flag is turned off. In the V region sensor detection process (FIG. 34) described later, it is determined whether or not the V valid period is in effect depending on whether or not the V valid flag is ON.

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

Here, the relationship between the operation pattern of the V opening / closing member 71 and the opening pattern of the second large winning opening 35 (opening / closing member 32) in the small hit game will be described. As described above, the V opening / closing member 71 is closed for 0.01 seconds from the start of the opening of the small hit game, then opened for 4 seconds, and then closed for 6 seconds. In the "16R normal small hit" (opening pattern 22), the second big winning opening 35 is closed for 4 seconds from the start of the small hit game opening, then opened for 1.6 seconds, and then 4.41. Closed for seconds. Therefore, in the opening pattern 22 of "16R normal small hit", the V opening / closing member 71 closes 0.01 seconds after the second big winning opening 35 is opened, and the V passing of the game ball during the small hit game. Is virtually impossible. On the other hand, in "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", "16R time reduction 99 times small hit" (open pattern 23), the second big winning opening 35 Is closed for 0.01 seconds from the start of the small hit game opening, then opened for 1.6 seconds, and then closed for 3 seconds. Therefore, in the opening pattern 23, the second big winning opening 35 and the V opening / closing member 71 are opened at the same time 0.01 seconds after the small hit game is started, and both of them continue to be opened for 1.6 seconds, and the second big winning is won. The V opening / closing member 71 closes 2.4 seconds after the mouth 35 is closed. Therefore, no matter what timing the game ball wins in the second large winning opening 35, the game ball can pass through the V region 39. Here, if the game ball is continuously fired by hitting right, the game ball will always win the second prize opening 35 during the opening period of the second prize opening 35. Each device such as the grand prize device 36 is arranged. Further, the time required for the game ball passing through the second special winning opening 35 to reach the arrangement position of the V opening / closing member 71 is configured to be shorter than 2 seconds. From this, in "16R time reduction 5 times small hit", "16R time reduction 10 times small hit", "16R time reduction 15 times small hit", "16R time reduction 99 times small hit", right-handed during the small hit game If the game ball is continuously fired, the game ball always passes through V.

[V area sensor detection process]
FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the V region sensor detection process (FIG. 17: step S107). The game control microcomputer 81 first determines whether or not the game ball has been detected by the V region sensor 39a (step S2601). If the V-region sensor 39a does not detect the game ball (step S2601: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if there is detection (step S2601: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not it is in the V valid period (step S2602). The V valid period is a period set by the V valid period setting process (step S2504) of the V opening / closing member control process (FIG. 33). The V valid period is set to a few seconds (ball brush period) when the V opening / closing member 71 is opened or closed. Here, 1 second is set as the ball brush period. If it is not during the V valid period (step S2602: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, when the V valid period is in effect (step S2602: YES), the game control microcomputer 81 turns on the V flag (step S2603) and sets the V pass command in the command set area 84a of the main RAM 84 (step S2602: YES). Step S2604), this process is completed. The "V passage command" is a command for notifying the sub control board 90 of V passage.

7. Operation of the effect control microcomputer 91 The operation of the effect control microcomputer 91 provided on the sub-control board 90 (FIG. 5) will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 to 43. Counters, flags, statuses, buffers, etc. that appear in the operation description of the effect control microcomputer 91 are provided in the sub RAM 94. As described below, the effect control microcomputer 91 functions as an effect execution means by reading the program stored in the sub ROM 93.

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

After the CPU initialization process, the effect control microcomputer 91 prohibits the interrupt of the interrupt process (step S4015) and performs the random number update process (step S4020). In this random number update process, the effect control microcomputer 91 updates by adding 1 to the various random number counter values shown in FIG. 8 (B). When each random number counter value reaches the set upper limit value, it returns to "0" and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than "0" or may be randomly changed. Further, the random value may be added by 2 or more in addition to being added by 1. Each random number may be a so-called hardware random number.

After the random number update process, the effect control microcomputer 91 permits the interrupt of the interrupt process (step S4025). While the interrupt is enabled, the sub-timer interrupt process (step S4035) can be executed. The sub-side timer interrupt process is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the sub CPU 92 at a predetermined cycle. That is, the sub-side timer interrupt processing is executed at predetermined intervals. Then, the random number update process is repeatedly executed from the end of the sub-side timer interrupt process to the start of the next sub-side timer interrupt process.

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

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

On the other hand, when the pre-determination command is not received from the main control board 80 (step S4415: NO), the pre-reading effect determination process described above is skipped. The look-ahead effect is an effect that suggests that the hold information newly stored in the special figure hold storage area 85 is likely to include a jackpot, and is executed during the variable effect.

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

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not a fluctuation start command has been received from the main control board 80 (step S4455). When receiving (step S4455: YES), the variation effect start process (FIG. 38) is performed (step S4460). The "variation effect start process" is a process of selecting a variation effect pattern (content) to be executed during the special symbol variation. The details of the variable effect start processing will be described later.
On the other hand, if it has not been received (step S4455: NO), the above-mentioned variation effect start process is skipped.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs other processing (step S4545). In other processing, for example, when the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the game state designation command, the information regarding the game state included in the game state designation command (whether or not it is in the time saving state, the first time saving counter and the second time saving) (Each value of the counter, etc.) is held in the sub RAM 94. Further, when the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the V pass command, the RAM 94 holds the V pass information. Further, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs processing based on commands other than the above (customer waiting standby command, advance determination command, RAM clear notification command, etc.), and ends this processing. The effect control microcomputer 91 functions as an “effect execution means” by executing the variable effect end process (step S4470) and the opening effect pattern determination process (step S4480).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not at least one of the values of the first time saving effect counter JC1 and the second time saving effect counter JC2 becomes "0" as a result of step S5120 or step S5125. (Step S5130). If neither the value of the first time saving effect counter JC1 nor the value of the second time saving effect counter JC2 is "0" (step S5130: NO), the process skips to step S5140. When at least one value of the first time saving effect counter JC1 and the second time saving effect counter JC2 is "0" (step S5130: YES), the mode status M is switched to "1" (step S5135). When the mode status M is switched to "1", the effect control microcomputer 91 also determines whether or not there is a special figure 2 hold, and if there is a special figure 2 hold, sets a special effect flag. Switch to ON. As a result, if there is a special figure 2 hold when shifting from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state, the "one-time crying effect" (FIG. 48) described later is executed as the first variation effect in the non-time-saving state. .. In step S5130, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether the time saving state or the non-time saving state is determined from the information about the game state held in the sub RAM 94, and in the non-time saving state, the mode status M is set to "" in S5135. It may be configured to switch to "1". The information regarding the game state held in the sub RAM 94 is updated when the game state designation command is received from the main control board 80. In step S5140, the effect control microcomputer 91 sets a variation effect end command for ending the variation effect. As a result, the changing decorative pattern is stopped and displayed. After that, this process ends.

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

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

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

FIG. 42 is a diagram for explaining the time saving effect scenario determination table T54. The time saving effect scenario determination table T54 is a table referred to for determining the time saving effect scenario according to the hit type (special figure stop symbol data) and the time saving effect scenario random value. The effect control microcomputer 91 first acquires a time-saving effect scenario random value. Then, the time saving effect scenario is determined from the special figure stop symbol data included in the ending command, the acquired random number value, and the time saving effect scenario determination table T54. For example, in the case of the ending of the two-kind big hit game after winning "16R time saving 99 times small hit A" (special figure stop symbol data 25H), if the acquired time saving effect scenario random number value is "0 to 63". "Scenario B" is selected as the time saving effect scenario, and if the time saving effect scenario random value is "64 to 95", "scenario C" is selected as the time saving effect scenario, and the time saving effect scenario random value is "96 to 127". If there is, "Scenario D" is selected as the time saving production scenario. Further, for example, in the case of the ending of the type 1 jackpot game after winning the "15R time saving 5 times jackpot D" (special figure stop symbol data 31H), the time saving effect scenario is as a time saving effect scenario regardless of the acquired time saving effect scenario random value. "Scenario H" is selected.

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

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

8. Production example of this embodiment [Expected production of V (when a normal symbol is won in a non-time saving state)]
FIG. 44 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the expected effect of V. This expected effect of V is when the normal symbol is won while the special figure 1 is changing or stopped in the non-time saving state, and the hit type is "long opening 1" or "short opening 1" (see FIG. 13). Is executed. The expected effect of V is an effect that suggests whether or not the electric chew 22 is opened for a long time, and further suggests the result of the hit / fail judgment of the special figure 2 when the game ball enters the electric chew 22. is there.

The expected effect of V is during the variable effect of special figure 1 as shown in FIG. 44 (A) using the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 when left-handed in a non-time saving state (here, a decorative pattern is used). It is executed when the game ball passes through the second gate 29 while the player is in the reach state) and is elected with a normal symbol and the hit type is selected as "long opening 1" or "short opening 1". That is, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the normal symbol variation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4505: YES), and is included in this command in the normal symbol variation effect start process (FIG. 37: step S4510). It is determined that the hit type is "long open 1" or "short open 1" from the information about the normal stop symbol data, and the variation pattern corresponding to the expected effect of V is selected to execute the command. As the expected effect of V, first, as shown in FIG. 44 (B), the display area of the variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is reduced and displayed in the display area HR1, and the variable effect of the special figure 1 is displayed until then. Using the region that has been performed, the expected cut-in effect of V that displays the image GA1 suggesting that the expected effect of V is started is executed. The display area HR1 is provided in one corner of the display screen 7a. In the effect of the display area HR1, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the variation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the variation start process (FIG. 37: step S4460), the variation effect start command (FIG. 38: Step S5020) is set to be executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (C), a V-level challenge effect that displays an image GA2 that prompts the player to press the effect button 63 and an image GA3 that indicates an indicator capable of expressing an increase in points is executed. .. In this V level challenge effect, the player can raise the point of the indicator of the image GA3 by pressing the effect button 63 to raise the V level. In this V-level challenge effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (C), the variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is shown following the display area HR1.

When the hit type of the normal symbol is "Short opening 1", the indicator is displayed as shown in FIG. V that lowers the point and displays the image GA4 that suggests that the V level is down and the V level could not reach a certain level, and the image GA5 that the V level is down and suggests that the jackpot cannot be expected this time. Perform a level-down effect. In this V level down effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (D), a variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is shown following the display area HR1.

On the other hand, when the hit type of the normal symbol is "long opening 1", then, with the long opening of the electric chew 22 for 5 seconds (FIG. 14), as shown in FIG. 44 (E), the indicator Image GA6 that raises the point and suggests that the V level has risen and the V level has reached a certain level, and suggests that the V level has risen and moves to the next stage, and that a big hit can be expected. A V level-up effect for displaying the image GA7 is executed. In this V level-up effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (E), a variable effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is shown following the display area HR1.

Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (F), for the transition to the next stage, the image GA8 for urging the player to hit right for entering the game ball into the electric chew 22 is displayed on the right. Perform a hitting suggestion effect. In this right-handed suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. 44 (F), the variation effect of the special figure 1 is shown following the display area HR1. This right-handed suggestion effect is executed until the variation effect corresponding to the special figure 1 displayed in the display area HR1 is completed. This right-handed suggestion effect is executed based on the normal symbol opening command (FIG. 37: step S4525) received from the main control board 80 by the effect control microcomputer 91.

If no ball has entered the electric chew 22, the V level down effect shown in FIG. 44 (D) described above is executed after the right-handed suggestion effect. This V level down effect is executed based on the normal symbol ending command (FIG. 37: step S4535) received from the main control board 80 by the effect control microcomputer 91. On the other hand, when one or more balls enter the electric chew 22, after the above-mentioned right-handed suggestion effect, as a variable effect of special figure 2, as shown in FIG. 44 (G), the back side in which the V card and the lost card are mixed. Shuffle the facing card Perform a V-card shuffle effect that displays the image GA9. In this case, the display area HR2 provided in one corner of the display screen 7a shows the fluctuating state of the decorative symbol. The V-card shuffle effect and the effect of the display area HR2 are executed based on the fluctuation start command received from the main control board 80 by the effect control microcomputer 91 when the second start port 21 is won.

If the result of the hit / fail judgment in Special Figure 2 is a big hit or a small hit, after the V-card shuffle effect, then, as shown in FIG. 44 (H), the three shuffled by the V-card shuffle effect. One of the cards is selected and turned over, and a V card selection effect is executed to display an image GA10 indicating that the turned card is a V card. In the display area HR2, after the reach state using the decorative symbol is shown, the doublet symbol arrangement suggesting a small hit or a type 1 big hit is stopped and displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (I), the expected success effect of V that displays the image GA11 suggesting that the jackpot game is executed and the right-handed suggestion image GA12 prompting right-handed is executed. This expected success production of V suggests that the expected production of V is successful and the expectation of the jackpot (1 type jackpot or 2 type jackpot) is high, in other words, the expectation that the jackpot game is executed is high. It is a production that suggests that. This expected success effect of V is started in the display area HR2 after a predetermined time (for example, 0.01 second) has elapsed from the stop display of the doublet symbol arrangement. That is, the timing (time) from when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed on the special symbol display 41 until the expected success effect of V is started, and after the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed, the expected success effect of V is started. It is configured so that the timing (time) until the time is equal to. "Equal" here does not mean an exact match, and there may be an error in timing as long as the player feels that they are equal. As an error, for example, about ± 2 seconds can be exemplified. In the case of a small hit, after the expected success production of this V, the small hit game is executed, and when the player passes V by right-handed hit, two types of big hits are obtained, and the game shifts to the big hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, when a small hit is made, the fluctuation effect is stopped, and the effect suggesting that the big hit (type 2 big hit) game is executed even though the V has not passed (FIG. 44). (I)) is started. Then, at the time of the small hit game, the effect suggesting the small hit game and the effect suggesting the passage of V are not performed. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can make him think that he has won one kind of big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, when the variable effect is stopped, the same effect (FIG. 44 (I)) is started in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit. With this configuration, it is possible to make it more difficult to distinguish between the 1st type jackpot and the 2nd type jackpot. Even if the numbers of doublets that are stopped and displayed in the display area HR2 are different between the case of a big hit and the case of a small hit, these are naturally included in the same effect. Further, in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit, the expected success effect of V may be started before the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed.

On the other hand, if the result of the hit / fail judgment in Special Figure 2 is a loss, after the V card shuffle effect, then one of the three cards shuffled by the V card shuffle effect as shown in FIG. 44 (J). A lost card selection effect is executed in which a card is selected and turned over, and an image GA13 indicating that the flipped card is a lost card is displayed. In the display area HR2, the reach state using the decorative pattern is shown.

Next, as shown in FIG. 44 (K), the expected failure effect of V displaying the image GA14 suggesting that the expected effect of V is a failure, and the big hit game is not executed due to a loss without becoming a big hit or a small hit. To execute. In this case, in the display area HR2, a symbol arrangement suggesting a loss is shown using a decorative symbol. If there is a hold of special figure 2, after the expected failure effect of V, the process shifts to the V card shuffle effect (see FIG. 44 (G)) again. If there is no hold of the special figure 2, the production shifts to the normal special figure 1.

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

Further, a V level challenge effect (FIG. 44 (C)), a V level down effect (FIG. 44 (D)), a V level up effect (FIG. 44 (E)), and a right-handed suggestion effect (FIG. 44 (F)). In), the variation effect of the special figure 1 shown in FIG. 44 (A) is shown in the display area HR1, but there is a hold of the special figure 1 even when the variation effect corresponding to the special figure 1 is completed. In that case, the variation effect corresponding to the next special figure 1 is continuously displayed.

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

[Hit game production]
FIG. 45 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a winning game effect when the special drawing 2 lottery is won. This winning game effect is executed when a big hit or a small hit is made in the lottery of Special Figure 2. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the opening command of the big hit game or the small hit game from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4475: YES), and in the opening effect pattern determination process (FIG. 37: step S4480). , When it is determined from the information about the special figure stop symbol data included in this command that it is a big hit or a small hit of special figure 2, it is executed by setting the corresponding opening effect start command. This hit game effect: FIG. 45 (A) shows, for example, an effect suggesting that a big hit game is executed (V expected success effect: FIG. 44 (I), V roulette success effect: FIG. 46 (C), target. Successful guessing effect: It is executed after FIG. 48 (C).

First, at the start of the big hit game associated with the type 1 big hit, or at the start of the small hit game associated with the small hit, as shown in FIG. The suggestion image GB1 and the right-handed suggestion image GB2 are displayed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 45 (B), an image GB3 suggesting that the jackpot game is executed using a predetermined character or the like and a right-handed suggestion image GB2 are displayed.

The effects of FIGS. 45 (A) and 45 (B) are continued from the start of the jackpot game until a predetermined period (hereinafter, also referred to as “first game period”) elapses in the type 1 jackpot game. Further, in the small hit game, the small hit game is continued from the start of the small hit game until the first game period elapses. That is, in both the type 1 big hit game and the small hit game, the same content (similar) is produced during the first game period. The first game period is at least the opening time (here, 0.01 seconds) of the small hit game (opening pattern 23) and the opening time of the second big winning opening 35 (here, 1.6). It is a time equal to or longer than the total time (1.61 seconds) with (seconds). Here, the first game period is the period from the start of the small hit game to the end of the small hit game (opening time (0.01 seconds) + opening time of the second big winning opening 35 (1.6 seconds)). + Ending time (3 seconds)) of 4.61 seconds is set. When the first game period elapses from the start of the jackpot game associated with the first type jackpot, or when the first game period elapses from the start of the small hit game and the second type jackpot by passing V is confirmed. As shown in FIG. 45 (C), an image GB4 that clearly suggests that the jackpot game is in progress and a right-handed suggestion image GB2 are displayed. That is, when two types of big hits are made after the small hit game, the effects of FIGS. 45 (A), (B), and (C) are executed in the same manner as when one type of big hit is made.

On the other hand, when the first game period has elapsed from the start of the small hit game accompanying the small hit and the non-execution of the big hit game is confirmed by non-passage of V, FIG. 45 (D) is shown instead of the image GB4. As shown, the image GB5 suggesting that the jackpot game is not executed is displayed.

In the hit game production in the present embodiment, the production during the type 1 big hit game, the small hit game accompanying the small hit, and the production during the type 2 big hit game are the same (FIGS. 45 (A), (B), (Fig. 45)). C)) is configured to be. In other words, the effect from the start of the type 1 jackpot game to the end of the jackpot game and the effect from the start of the small hit game to the end of the type 2 jackpot game are configured to be the same effect. Even if the two types of big hits are not executed after the small hits associated with the small hits, at least during the small hits game, the same effect as in the case of the one type big hits (FIGS. 45 (A) and 45 (B)). ) Is performed, and after the lapse of the first game period, an effect (FIG. 45 (D)) different from that in the case of the type 1 jackpot is performed. The "similar (same) production" here means that the content should be close enough to make it difficult for the player to distinguish between the big hit and small hit productions, and the productions do not have to be exactly the same. .. For example, when some characters are different, when a part of a predetermined character's mode (for example, clothes, clothes color, equipment) is different, or when the appearance timing of a predetermined character is slightly different. Naturally, it is included in the same production. Further, in the hit game production in the present embodiment, when two types of big hits are obtained after the small hit game, the big hit game production (FIGS. 45 (A) and (B)) is started based on the fact that the V is passed by the small hit game. Instead of doing so, it is configured to start the big hit game effect at the start of the small hit game (that is, based on the final display of the small hit symbol). In other words, in the present embodiment, in the case of a small hit, an effect suggesting a small hit game (for example, an effect instructing the player to aim at V) is not performed during the small hit game. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can make him think that he has won one kind of big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, the timing (time) from the confirmation display of the small hit symbol on the special symbol display 41 to the start of the small hit game effect (FIGS. 45 (A), (B), (C)). ) And the timing (time) from the confirmation display of the jackpot symbol to the start of the jackpot game effect (FIGS. 45 (A), (B), (C)) are configured to be equal. .. As is clear from the above, the series of effects suggesting that the jackpot game is executed (expected success effect of V: FIG. 44 (I) → FIG. 45 (A) → FIG. 45 (B)) is small. In the case of a hit and the case of a type 1 jackpot, the same content (similar effect) is obtained for a predetermined period from the start of a series of effects. The predetermined period is a period equal to or longer than the period from the start of the expected success effect of V to the end of the small hit game at the time of winning the small hit. For example, when the expected success production time of V is 5 seconds and the small hit game time is 4.61 seconds, the predetermined period is 9.61 seconds. In addition, a series of effects suggesting that the jackpot game is executed are as follows: V roulette success effect: FIG. 46 (C), targeting success effect: FIG. 48, instead of V's expected success effect: FIG. 44 (I). (C)) may be used. Here, the V roulette success production time and the targeting success production time are both 5 seconds.

[Special figure 2 Fluctuation effect at the time of lottery (when the time is shortened)]
FIG. 46 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the variation effect at the time of the special drawing 2 lottery. This variation effect at the time of the special figure 2 lottery is executed at the time of the small hit of the special figure 2, the big hit of the special figure 2, or the loss of the special figure 2 in the time saving state. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives a variation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the variation effect start process (FIG. 37: step S4460, FIG. 38), this command is used. When it is determined from the information about the included fluctuation pattern that the fluctuation pattern is "P16" to "P19" (FIG. 12), it is executed by setting the corresponding variation effect start command (FIG. 38: step). S5020).

In the variable effect at the time of the special drawing 2 lottery, first, as shown in FIG. 46 (A), the V roulette effect that displays the image GC1 showing how the roulette having the loss zone and the V zone rotates is executed. In this case, the display area HR3 provided in one corner of the display screen 7a shows the fluctuating state of the decorative symbol.

If the result of the hit / fail judgment in Special Figure 2 is a big hit or a small hit, after the V roulette effect, as shown in FIG. 46 (B), the roulette that was rotating in the V roulette effect stops. The V zone selection effect for displaying the image GC2 indicating that the stop zone is the V zone is executed. In the display area HR3, after the reach state using the decorative symbol is shown, the doublet symbol arrangement suggesting a small hit or a type 1 big hit is stopped and displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 46 (C), a V roulette success effect that displays the image GC3 suggesting that the jackpot game is executed and the right-handed suggestion image GC4 is executed. This V roulette success production suggests that the V roulette production is successful and the expectation of the jackpot (1 type jackpot or 2 type jackpot) is high, in other words, the expectation that the jackpot game will be executed is high. It is a suggestive production. Similar to the expected success effect of V (FIG. 44 (I)), this V roulette success effect is performed after a predetermined time (for example, 0.01 second) has elapsed from the stop display of the doublet symbol arrangement in the display area HR2. To be started. That is, the timing (time) from the confirmation display of the small hit symbol on the special symbol display 41 to the start of the V roulette success effect, and the period from the confirmation display of the big hit symbol to the start of the V roulette success effect. Is configured to be equal to the timing (time) of. In the case of a small hit, after this V roulette success production, a small hit game is executed, and when the player passes V by hitting the right side, two types of big hits are made and the game shifts to the big hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, when a small hit is made, the variable effect is stopped, and the effect suggesting that the big hit (two types of big hit) game is executed regardless of whether or not the player has passed V (FIG. 46). (C)) is started. Then, at the time of the small hit game, the effect suggesting the small hit game and the effect suggesting the passage of V are not performed. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can make him think that he has won one kind of big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, when the variable effect is stopped, the same effect (FIG. 46 (C)) is started in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit. With this configuration, it is possible to make it more difficult to distinguish between the 1st type jackpot and the 2nd type jackpot. Even if the numbers of doublets that are stopped and displayed in the display area HR2 are different between the case of a big hit and the case of a small hit, these are naturally included in the same effect. Further, in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit, the expected success effect of V may be started before the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed.

On the other hand, if the result of the hit / fail judgment in Special Figure 2 is a loss, after the V roulette effect, as shown in FIG. 46 (D), the roulette that was rotating in the V roulette effect stops, and the stop zone becomes the loss zone. The loss zone selection effect for displaying the image GC5 indicating that the image is GC5 is executed. In the display area HR3, the reach state using the decorative pattern is shown.

Next, as shown in FIG. 46 (E), the V roulette failure effect for displaying the image GC6 indicating that the V roulette effect is a failure and the jackpot game is not executed due to a loss is executed. In the display area HR3, a symbol arrangement suggesting a loss is shown using a decorative symbol. If there is a hold of special figure 2, after the V roulette failure effect, the process shifts to the V roulette effect (see FIG. 46 (A)) again.

In the time saving state, the hit / fail judgment is made in Special Figure 1 and a big hit (Fig. 12: when the fluctuation pattern "P8" is selected) or a small hit (Fig. 12: when the fluctuation pattern "P9" is selected). In the same manner as in the case of a big hit or a small hit in the special figure 2, the effects of FIGS. 46 (A) to 46 (C) are executed. Further, in the case of a loss (FIG. 12: when the fluctuation pattern “P10” is selected) in the case of the loss in the special figure 1, the same as in the case of the loss in the special figure 2, FIGS. , (E) is executed. Further, in the time saving state, when the hit / fail judgment of the special figure 2 is lost (FIG. 12: when the fluctuation pattern "P19" is selected), or when the hit / fail judgment of the special figure 1 is lost (FIG. 12: fluctuation pattern). (When "P11" is selected), a variable effect for quickly notifying the loss is executed using a decorative pattern.

[Countdown effect (during time-saving fluctuation effect)]
FIG. 47 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the countdown effect. This countdown effect is an effect of displaying an image of the number of remaining time reductions on the display screen 7a during each variation effect during the time reduction state. The countdown effect is shortened after the jackpot game and starts from the first change of the special symbol. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the variation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the variation effect start process (FIG. 37: step S4460, FIG. 38), the mode status M Is "2", it is executed by setting the corresponding variation effect start command (FIG. 38: step S5020). The "remaining number of times of time reduction of the countdown effect" indicated by the image is determined with reference to the time reduction effect scenario (see FIG. 43) determined based on the time reduction effect scenario determination table T56 (see FIG. 42). Therefore, the "display time saving remaining number" indicated by the time saving remaining number image is the same number of times as the actual time saving remaining number (actual remaining time saving number of times) until the time saving state ends, or the number of times less than the actual time saving remaining number of times. Is shown as a pseudo time saving remaining number. The countdown effect shown in FIG. 47 is an example of the effect corresponding to “Scenario C”.

In the countdown effect based on the "scenario C", first, the countdown effect A is displayed as shown in FIG. 47 (A). In this countdown effect A, in the first fluctuation after the time reduction state is set, the time reduction remaining number image GDA with the "display time reduction remaining number" set to 5 is displayed, and the second to fifth fluctuations are the previous fluctuations. The displayed time-saving remaining number image GDA representing the number of times obtained by subtracting one from the displayed time-saving remaining number is displayed. For example, in the countdown effect A, the time-saving remaining number image GDA with the "display time-saving remaining number" set to 4 times is displayed for the second variation, and the "display time-saving remaining number" is set to 1 for the fifth variation. Time saving Remaining number of times Display the image GDA.

When the display of the time saving remaining number image GDA of the fifth variation in the countdown effect A is completed, the charge effect A is then executed during the variation effect of the fifth variation, as shown in FIG. 47 (B). In this charge effect A, a charge image CHA suggesting that the "display time reduction remaining number" is charged (increased) about 10 times is displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 47 (C), the countdown effect B is executed. In this countdown effect B, in the sixth variation, which is the next variation of the charge effect A, the charge amount (10 times) is subtracted by one from the remaining number (1 time) in the previous variation (fifth variation). The number of times (10 times) increased by the number of times (10 times) is set as the "display time reduction remaining number". The time saving remaining number image GDB is displayed, and the 7th to 15th fluctuations are one from the remaining number shown in the previous fluctuation. The time saving remaining number image GDB showing the subtracted remaining number is displayed. For example, in the countdown effect B, the time saving remaining number image GDB with the "display time saving remaining number" set to 10 is displayed at the 6th variation, and the time saving remaining number with the "display time saving remaining number" set to 9 times at the 7th variation. The remaining number of times image GDB is displayed, and at the 15th variation, the time saving remaining number of times image GDB with the "display time saving remaining number of times" as one is displayed.

When the display of the time saving remaining number image GDB of the 15th variation in the countdown effect B is completed, the charge effect B is then executed during the variation effect of the 15th variation, as shown in FIG. 47 (D). In this charge effect B, a charge image CHB suggesting that the "display time reduction remaining number" is charged (increased) by about 84 times is displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 47 (E), the countdown effect C is executed. In this countdown effect C, in the 16th variation which is the next variation of the charge effect B, the charge amount (84 times) is subtracted by 1 from the remaining number (1 time) in the previous variation (15th variation). The number of times (84 times) increased by the number of times (84 times) is set as the "display time reduction remaining number". The time saving remaining number image GDC is displayed, and the 17th to 99th fluctuations are one from the remaining number shown in the previous fluctuation. The time saving remaining number image GDC showing the subtracted remaining number is displayed. For example, in the countdown effect C, the time saving remaining number image GDC with the "display time saving remaining number" set to 84 is displayed at the 16th variation, and the time saving remaining number with the "display time saving remaining number" set to 83 times at the 17th variation. The remaining number of times The image GDC is displayed.

The countdown effect is executed at a predetermined timing of each variation effect in the time saving state. For example, it may be executed at the start timing of each variation effect, or may be executed at the end timing of each variation effect. Further, during each variation effect, the image of the remaining number of times of shortening the time may be continuously displayed.

[One-time production of crying (production of the first fluctuation (special figure 2) after the end of the time saving state)]
FIG. 48 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a one-time production of crying. This one-time effect of crying is a variation effect executed in the next variation of the variation when the hold of the special figure 2 is held in the last variation of the time reduction state, that is, the first after the time reduction state It is a fluctuation effect of the special figure 2 in the non-time saving state. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 receives the variation start command from the main control board 80 (FIG. 37: step S4455: YES), and in the variation effect start process (FIG. 37: step S4460, FIG. 38), the special effect flag When is ON, it is executed by setting the corresponding variation effect start command (FIG. 38: step S5020).

The targeting start effect of displaying the image GE2 indicating that the image is GE2 is executed. In this case, the display area HR4 provided in one corner of the display screen 7a shows the fluctuating state of the decorative symbol.

If the result of the hit / fail judgment in Special Figure 2 is a big hit or a small hit, the arrow hits the hit zone as shown in FIG. 48 (B) after the hit start effect. A hit effect for displaying the image GE3 indicating that is executed. In the display area HR4, after the reach state using the decorative symbol is shown, the doublet symbol arrangement suggesting a small hit or a type 1 big hit is stopped and displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 48 (C), the image GE4 suggesting that the jackpot game is executed and the right-handed suggestion image GE5 prompting right-handed are displayed, and the target is successful and the jackpot ( A successful targeting effect is performed, which suggests that the expectation of the 1st type jackpot or the 2nd type jackpot is high, in other words, the expectation that the jackpot game is executed is high. Similar to the expected success effect of V (FIG. 44 (I)), this target success effect is performed after a predetermined time (for example, 0.01 second) has elapsed from the stop display of the doublet symbol arrangement in the display area HR2. To be started. That is, the timing (time) from when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed on the special symbol display 41 until the successful targeting effect is started, and from when the large hit symbol is confirmed and when the successful targeting effect is started. Is configured to be equal to the timing (time) of. In the case of a small hit, a small hit game is executed after this successful hitting effect, and when the player passes V by right-handed hit, two types of big hits are made, and the game shifts to the big hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, when a small hit is made, the variable effect is stopped, and the effect suggesting that the big hit (two types of big hit) game is executed regardless of whether or not the player has passed V (FIG. 48). (C)) is started. Then, at the time of the small hit game, the effect suggesting the small hit game and the effect suggesting the passage of V are not performed. With this configuration, even in the case of a small hit, the player does not notice the small hit game and can make him think that he has won one kind of big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, when the variable effect is stopped, the same effect (FIG. 48 (C)) is started in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit. With this configuration, it is possible to make it more difficult to distinguish between the 1st type jackpot and the 2nd type jackpot. Even if the numbers of doublets that are stopped and displayed in the display area HR2 are different between the case of a big hit and the case of a small hit, these are naturally included in the same effect. Further, in the case of the big hit and the case of the small hit, the expected success effect of V may be started before the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed.

On the other hand, if the result of the hit / fail judgment in Special Figure 2 is a loss, after the targeting start effect, then, as shown in FIG. 48 (D), the image GE6 showing that the arrow hits the target loss zone. Perform a target loss effect to display. In the display area HR4, the reach state using the decorative pattern is shown.

Next, as shown in FIG. 48 (E), the target hit failure effect of displaying the image GE7 suggesting that the target hit is a failure, the hit is lost without a big hit or a small hit, and the big hit game is not executed is executed. .. In the display area HR4, a symbol arrangement suggesting a loss is shown by using a decorative symbol.

The effect shown in FIGS. 48 (A) to 48 (C) in the one-time effect of crying is when the variation pattern P13 (see FIG. 12) is selected in the first variation from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state. In the first variation of the transition from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state, the effect shown in FIGS. 48 (A), (D), and (E) is the variation pattern P14 (see FIG. 12). ) Is an example of the effect executed when is selected.

Hereinafter, the outer shell inner / outer effects A to C of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIGS. 92 to 94. In FIGS. 92 to 94, the first movable accessory 14 and the second movable accessory 15 arranged around the front surface of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 are omitted from the viewability of the drawing, and the image display device 7 The decorative design and various reserved images displayed on the display screen 7a are also omitted for the sake of legibility of the drawing.

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

Here, first, the outer shell inner / outer effect A of the stereoscopic image will be described, the outer outer inner / outer effect B of the stereoscopic image, and the outer inner / outer effect C of the stereoscopic image will be described in order.

[Outside and outside production A of stereoscopic image]
First, the outer shell inner / outer effect A of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIG. 92. FIG. 92 is a diagram for explaining the outer / outer outer / outer effect A of the stereoscopic image. In the outer / outer effect A of the stereoscopic image, first, as shown in FIG. 92 (A), on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, for example, the number "4" of the stereoscopic image is colored and opaque as a predetermined image. When it appears as an FRM, it is displayed in such a manner that it approaches, moves away, stops, and swings (including rotation, the same applies hereinafter). At this time, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is defined as the outer region (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") as a boundary with the inner region FRMa of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4"). , The outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") is divided into regions. Here, the outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) is the background image.

After this, when the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") reappears on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is the outer shell of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4"). With (contour) as the boundary, the area of the inner region FRMa of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") and the outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") It is partitioned. Further, the outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) becomes the background image.

When the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 in a manner approaching, the inner region FRMa of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") is displayed in a large size. As the proportion of the display screen 7a of the display device 7 increases, the outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) becomes smaller and the proportion of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 decreases. Become. On the other hand, when the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 in a distant manner, the inner region FRMa of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") is displayed. Is displayed small and the proportion occupied by the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 becomes low, so that the outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) becomes large and the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 becomes large. The percentage of the total is high.

After this, when the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") reappears on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the display screen of the image display device 7 approaches the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4"). Similarly, when the image is displayed on the 7a or the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 in a distant manner, the outline (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4") is similarly displayed. As the ratio of the inner region FRMa of the image display device 7 occupying the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 becomes higher or lower, the outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) becomes higher or lower. The proportion of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is lowered or increased.

A pattern (not shown) is provided on the inner region FRMa of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4"). In the outer region FRMb of the outer shell (contour) of the stereoscopic image FRM (number "4"), as the first geometric pattern, quadrangles are arranged in a matrix in the vertical and horizontal directions separated from each other by a predetermined interval. Is displayed. The first geometric pattern is a still image.

After that, as shown in FIG. 92 (B), on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the frame of the stereoscopic image is colored and opaque from the colored and opaque stereoscopic image FRM (number “4”) as a predetermined image. When the frame-shaped stereoscopic image FRM is switched to and the frame-shaped stereoscopic image FRM appears, one or both of the vertical length and the horizontal length of the frame-shaped stereoscopic image FRM may be increased, or one or both may be decreased. It is displayed in the mode of At this time, the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 has the outer region (contour) of the frame-shaped stereoscopic image FRM as a boundary, the inner region FRMa of the outer shell (contour) of the frame-shaped stereoscopic image FRM, and the frame-shaped stereoscopic image.

Hereinafter, specific end face effects A to C of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIGS. 101 to 103. In FIGS. 101 to 103, various reserved images displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 are omitted from the viewability of the drawing, and the decorative design displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is also viewed in the drawing. Some are omitted due to ease of use, and the first movable accessory 14 and the second movable accessory 15 arranged around the front surface (front) of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 are also omitted due to the ease of viewing the drawing. There is something that has been done.

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

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

[Specific end face effect A of stereoscopic image]
First, the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIG. 101. FIG. 101 is a diagram for explaining a specific end face effect A of a stereoscopic image. The specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image is selected from a plurality of types of reach effects when a reach is formed during the variation effect of the decorative pattern, and is performed as a part of the reach effects. is there. That is, the plurality of types of reach effects include the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image.

In the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image, first, as shown in FIG. 101 (A), the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 has the left decorative symbol 8L of the stereoscopic image, the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image, and the stereoscopic image. The right decorative symbol 8R is displayed in such a manner that the reel is rotated from the upper side to the lower side of the display screen 7a, and the variable display of the decorative symbol (design: number "1" to number "9") is started. When the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, the stopped-displayed decorative symbol changes from an opaque state to a translucent state while gradually increasing the speed, and the display mode changes at high speed. As a result, the background image arranged behind the decorative symbol can be visually recognized via the translucent decorative symbol during high-speed fluctuation. Immediately before stopping, the decorative symbol decelerates and changes from a translucent state to an opaque state again and is displayed as a stop. Here, as shown in FIG. 101 (B), the left decorative symbol 8L and the right decorative symbol 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same symbol (number) (here, the number "9" temporarily stops), and the middle decoration. The symbol 8C is displayed in a variable manner to form a reach.

When the reach is formed, the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image is temporarily stopped at the number "8", and the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image is rotated by the number "8" (for example, the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image). When the display mode is set to gradually decrease toward the rear while rotating from the upper side to the lower side, this time, another rotation (for example, from the right side to the left side of the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image) The left decorative symbol 8L is finally temporarily stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 as shown in FIG. 101 (C). The display mode is larger than the size of the right decorative symbol 8R and the rotation is stopped. This is done in order to largely display the mode of double doors by the right side of the left side middle decoration symbol 8CL and the left side of the right side middle decoration design 8CR obtained by dividing the middle decoration symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image into left and right, as will be described later.

After that, the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image is divided into left and right with a vertical line (center line) passing through the upper midpoint and the lower midpoint of the stereoscopic image 8C as a boundary, and the left intermediate decorative symbol of the stereoscopic image is divided. It is divided into 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR of the stereoscopic image, and as shown in FIG. 101 (D), the right side of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the left side of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are displayed in a Kannon opening manner. Here, a stereoscopic image in which the right end face of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL is the open side end face, which is the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL, and the left end face of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR is the open side end face. It becomes the specific end face 8CRa of the right side middle decorative symbol 8CR.

The intermediate decorative symbol 8C is formed as colored opaque, but when the left intermediate decorative symbol 8CL and the right intermediate decorative symbol 8CR are opened in a double-door manner, the left intermediate decorative symbol 8CL has a specific end surface 8CLa and the right side. It is represented in such a manner that the specific end face 8CRa of the intermediate decorative pattern 8CR has transparency. Here, the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are transparent regions, respectively.

When the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are opened in a double-door manner, a predetermined image that should not exist in the background image is displayed on the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the right side. It can be visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the intermediate decorative pattern 8CR.

Here, two character bodies CRA and CRB are used as "predetermined images", and two character bodies CRA and CRB are still images facing each other with a sword, showing the world view of the production by the game machine 1. Even if the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are gradually opened in the manner of opening the sword, the positions of the two character bodies CRA and CRB do not change, and the distance dimension and size from each other do not change. It has become. The character body CRB can be visually recognized on the specific end surface 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL, and the character body CRA can be visually recognized on the specific end surface 8CRa of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR.

When the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR have just been opened in the manner of double doors, the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the transparency of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR It is difficult to notice that the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are transparent. As the 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are opened in a double-door manner, the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR become larger. , A part of the character body CRB can be visually recognized from the specific end surface 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL, and a part of the character body CRA can be visually recognized from the specific end surface 8CRa of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR.

When the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are opened wide in the manner of double doors, as shown in FIG. 101 (E), the transparent area of the specific end face 8CLa of the left middle decorative symbol 8CL is the character body CRB. The transparent area of the specific end face 8CRa of the right middle decorative symbol 8CR becomes large until the presence of the character body CRA can be visually recognized.

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

The action effect is developed, and the left decorative symbol 8L, the middle decorative symbol 8C, and the right decorative symbol 8R are all stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 (here, the number "9"). Then, a jackpot game (big hit production) is performed in which a jackpot is obtained and a profit is given to the player, whereas the left decorative symbol 8L is the number "9" on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. If the middle decorative symbol 8C becomes the number "8" and the right decorative symbol 8R becomes the number "9" and the same symbols (here, the number "9") are not aligned and are stopped and displayed, the deviation is confirmed and displayed. Become.

[Specific end face effect B of stereoscopic image]
Next, the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIG. 102. FIG. 102 is a diagram for explaining a specific end face effect B of a stereoscopic image. The specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image is selected from a plurality of types of reach effects when a reach is formed during the variation effect of the decorative pattern, and is performed as a part of the reach effects. is there. That is, the plurality of types of reach effects include the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image.

In the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image, first, as shown in FIG. 102 (A), on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the left decorative symbol 8L of the stereoscopic image, the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image, and the stereoscopic image are displayed. The right decorative symbol 8R is displayed in such a manner that the reel is rotated from the upper side to the lower side of the display screen 7a, and the variable display of the decorative symbol (design: number "1" to number "9") is started. When the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, the stopped-displayed decorative symbol changes from an opaque state to a translucent state while gradually increasing the speed, and the display mode changes at high speed. As a result, the background image arranged behind the decorative symbol can be visually recognized via the translucent decorative symbol during high-speed fluctuation. Immediately before stopping, the decorative symbol decelerates and changes from a translucent state to an opaque state again and is displayed as a stop. Here, as shown in FIG. 102 (B), the left decorative symbol 8L and the right decorative symbol 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same symbol (number) (here, the number "9" temporarily stops), and the middle decoration. The symbol 8C is displayed in a variable manner to form a reach.

When the reach is formed, as shown in FIG. 102 (C), the second movable accessory 15 having a rectangular shape with "OARO" written on the front surface is in the retracted position (home position) above the image display device 7. The image display device 7 advances (moves) downward from the stationary state to a position closer to the center of the front surface (front) of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 (advance position (effect position)). When the second movable accessory 15 has advanced (moved) to a position (advanced position (directed position)) closer to the center of the front surface (front) of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, a predetermined angle is clockwise from the horizontal state. It rotates by (for example, 30 degrees), stops, and becomes inclined.

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

After that, when the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image is displayed in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the second movable accessory 15 is rotated counterclockwise by a predetermined angle (for example, 30 degrees). It stops and returns to the original horizontal state, and moves backward (moves) upward from the advance position (directing position) to the retracted position (home position).

The character string image LG of the stereoscopic image displayed in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 rotates backward (for example, rotates from the upper side to the lower side of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image). When the display mode is set to gradually decrease in distance, this time, the display mode is switched to another rotation (for example, the rotation from the right side to the left side of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image), and the image gradually approaches forward while rotating. As shown in FIG. 102 (E), it became larger than the size of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image that finally appeared in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, and the rotation was stopped. It becomes a display mode. This is done in order to largely display the mode of double doors by the right side of the left side character string image LGL and the left side of the right side character string image LGR obtained by dividing the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image into left and right, as will be described later.

After that, the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image is divided into left and right, and is divided into character string images of two stereoscopic images in which "OA" is the left side character string image LGL and "RO" is the right side character string image LGR. As shown in (F), the right side of the left side character string image LGL and the left side of the right side character string image LGR are displayed in a Kannon opening mode. Here, the right end face of the character "A", which is the right end face of the left character string image LGL, is a specific end face LGLa of the left side character string image LGL, which is a three-dimensional image having the open side end face, and the left side of the right side character string image LGR. The left end face of the letter "R" which is the end face is the specific end face LGRa of the right side character string image LGR which is a stereoscopic image whose open side end face is.

The character string image LG is formed as colored opaque, but when the left side character string image LGL and the right side character string image LGR are opened in a Kannon opening mode, the left side character string image LGL has a specific end face LGLa and the right side. It is represented in a manner in which the specific end face LGRa of the character string image LGR has transparency. Here, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are transparent regions, respectively.

When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are opened in a Kannon opening mode, a predetermined image that should not exist in the background image is displayed on the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the right side. It can be visually recognized through the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the character string image LGR.

Here, two character strings CRA and CRB are used as "predetermined images", and the two character strings CRA and CRB are still images facing each other with a sword, and show the world view of the production by the game machine 1. Yes, even if the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are gradually opened in the manner of a Kannon opening, the positions of the two character bodies CRA and CRB do not change, and the distance dimension and size of each other do not change. It has become. The character body CRB can be visually recognized on the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, and the character body CRA can be visually recognized on the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR.

When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR have just been opened in the manner of Kannon opening, the transparent area of the specific end surface LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparency of the specific end surface LGRa of the right character string image LGR. The area is small, and it is difficult to notice that the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparent area of the specific end surface LGRa of the right character string image LGR are transparent, but the left character string image. As the LGL and the right-hand character string image LGR are opened in a Kannon-opening manner, the transparent area of the specific end surface LGLa of the left-side character string image LGL and the transparent area of the specific end surface LGRa of the right-side character string image LGR become larger. , A part of the character body CRB can be visually recognized from the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, and a part of the character body CRA can be visually recognized from the specific end face LGRa of the right side character string image LGR.

When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are opened wide in a Kannon opening manner, as shown in FIG. 102 (G), the transparent region of the specific end surface LGLa of the left character string image LGL is the character body CRB. The transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR is enlarged to the state where the existence of the character body CRA can be visually recognized.

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

The action effect is developed, and the left decorative symbol 8L, the middle decorative symbol 8C, and the right decorative symbol 8R are all stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 (here, the number "9"). Then, a jackpot game (big hit production) is performed in which a jackpot is obtained and a profit is given to the player, whereas the left decorative symbol 8L is the number "9" on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. If the middle decorative symbol 8C becomes the number "8" and the right decorative symbol 8R becomes the number "9" and the same symbols (here, the number "9") are not aligned and are stopped and displayed, the deviation is confirmed and displayed. Become.

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

In the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image, first, as shown in FIG. 103 (A), the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 has the left decorative symbol 8L of the stereoscopic image, the intermediate decorative symbol 8C of the stereoscopic image, and the stereoscopic image. The right decorative symbol 8R is displayed in such a manner that the reel is rotated from the upper side to the lower side of the display screen 7a, and the variable display of the decorative symbol (design: number "1" to number "9") is started. When the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, the stopped-displayed decorative symbol changes from an opaque state to a translucent state while gradually increasing the speed, and the display mode changes at high speed. As a result, the background image arranged behind the decorative symbol can be visually recognized via the translucent decorative symbol during high-speed fluctuation. Immediately before stopping, the decorative symbol decelerates and changes from a translucent state to an opaque state again and is displayed as a stop. Here, as shown in FIG. 103 (B), the left decorative symbol 8L and the right decorative symbol 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same symbol (number) (here, the number "9" temporarily stops), and the middle decoration. The symbol 8C is displayed in a variable manner to form a reach.

When the reach is formed, as shown in FIG. 103 (C), the second movable accessory 15 having a rectangular shape with "OARO" written on the front surface is in the retracted position (home position) above the image display device 7. The image display device 7 advances (moves) downward from the stationary state to a position closer to the center of the front surface (front) of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 (advance position (effect position)). When the second movable accessory 15 has advanced (moved) to a position (advanced position (directed position)) closer to the center of the front surface (front) of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, a predetermined angle is clockwise from the horizontal state. It rotates by (for example, 30 degrees), stops, and becomes inclined.

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

After that, when the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image is displayed in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, the second movable accessory 15 is rotated counterclockwise by a predetermined angle (for example, 30 degrees). It stops and returns to the original horizontal state, and moves backward (moves) upward from the advance position (directing position) to the retracted position (home position).

The character string image LG of the stereoscopic image displayed in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 rotates backward (for example, rotates from the upper side to the lower side of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image). When the display mode is set to gradually decrease in distance, this time, the display mode is switched to another rotation (for example, the rotation from the right side to the left side of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image), and the image gradually approaches forward while rotating. As shown in FIG. 103 (E), it became larger than the size of the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image that finally appeared in the center of the display screen 7a of the image display device 7, and the rotation was stopped. It becomes a display mode. This is because, as will be described later, the display mode in which the front surface of the left character string image LGL obtained by dividing the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image into left and right and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and close is displayed in a large size. It is done in.

After that, the character string image LG of the stereoscopic image is divided into left and right, and is divided into character string images of two stereoscopic images in which "OA" is the left side character string image LGL and "RO" is the right side character string image LGR. As shown in (F), the left side of the left side character string image LGL is a display mode that rotates forward about the vertical direction of the right side of the left side character string image LGL, and the right side of the right side character string image LGR is the right side. The display mode rotates forward about the vertical direction on the left side of the character string image LGR. Here, the surface described as "OA" of the left character string image LGL immediately before being divided into two character string images (the character string image LG shown in FIG. 103 (E)) is divided into "left character string". It is called "the front surface of the image LGL", and the surface of the right character string image LGR described as "RO" immediately before being divided into two character string images (the character string image LG shown in FIG. 103 (E)) is divided. In, it is called "the front of the right character string image LGR".

As the rotation of the left character string image LGL and the right character string LGR progresses, the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and overlap each other. The display mode is such that the column image LGR is rotated (hereinafter, referred to as "a display mode in which the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR are closed so as to face each other and overlap each other").

As a result, the right end face of the character "A", which is the right end face of the left character string image LGL, becomes the closed side end face, and the left end face of the character "O", which is the left end face of the left character string image LGL, becomes the open side end face. Further, the left end face of the character "R" which is the left end face of the right character string image LGR is the closed side end face, and the right end face of the character "O" which is the right end face of the right character string image LGR is the open side end face.

The left end face of the character "O", which is the left end face of the left character string image LGL, is an open side end face, and here is a specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, which is a stereoscopic image, and the right side character string image LGR. The right end face of the character "O" which is the right end face is an open side end face, and here is a specific end face LGRa of the right side character string image LGR which is a stereoscopic image.

The character string image LG is formed as colored opaque, but when the display mode is such that the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and are closed so as to overlap each other, the left character string image LGL is specified. The end face LGLa and the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are represented in a manner having transparency. Here, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are transparent regions, respectively.

When the display mode is such that the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and are closed, a predetermined image that should not exist in the background image is transparent to the specific end surface LGLa of the left character string image LGL. It can be visually recognized through a wide area and a transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR.

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

When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR have just been closed so that the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and are closed so as to overlap each other. The transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR are small, and the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR. Although it is difficult to notice that the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of is transparent, as the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are closed, the specific end surface LGLa of the left character string image LGL When the transparent area and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR become large, a part of the character body CRB can be visually recognized from the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL, and the right side character string image LGR can be visually recognized. A part of the character body CRA can be visually recognized from the specific end face LGRa of.

When the left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR are closed until the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR face each other and are closed so as to overlap each other, FIG. 103 (G) As shown in, the transparent area of the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL becomes large enough to be able to visually recognize the existence of the character body CRB, and the transparent area of the specific end face LGRa of the right character string image LGR. Increases to a state in which the presence of the character CRA can be visually recognized.

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

The action effect is developed, and the left decorative symbol 8L, the middle decorative symbol 8C, and the right decorative symbol 8R are all stopped and displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 (here, the number "9"). Then, a jackpot game (big hit production) is performed in which a jackpot is obtained and a profit is given to the player, whereas the left decorative symbol 8L is the number "9" on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. If the middle decorative symbol 8C becomes the number "8" and the right decorative symbol 8R becomes the number "9" and the same symbols (here, the number "9") are not aligned and are stopped and displayed, the deviation is confirmed and displayed. Become.

In the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 103, the specific end face LGLa of the left character string image LGL and the specific end face LGRa of the right side character string image LGR are defined as transparent regions. However, the specific end faces 8CLa, 8CRa in the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 101, the specific end faces LGLa, LGRa in the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 102, and the specific end face LGLa in the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 103. , LGRa may have translucency, and may have translucency such as frosted glass. In this way, for example, the specific end face is represented by a translucent mode such as frosted glass, and the specific end face gradually becomes a transparent region from a blurred mode in which a predetermined image cannot be clearly seen through the specific end face. As the transparency increases, the predetermined image may be made easier to see through the specific end face. Even with this configuration, the player can be visually entertained and the interest can be improved.
[Modification 2]
In the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 101, the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 102, and the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 103, two character body CRAs are used as predetermined images through the specific end faces of the stereoscopic image. , CRB could be visually recognized, and it was a still image in which two character bodies CRA and CRB faced each other with a sword. However, a moving image may be used instead of the still image. The moving image may, for example, explain the flow of two character bodies CRA and CRB facing each other with a sword, may be a moving image by 3D CG, may be a moving image by animation, or may be a moving image of a movie. It may be one scene.

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

[Modification example 4]
In the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 101, the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are gradually opened in a manner of opening the Kannon, and in the specific end face effect B of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 102, the left character string image LGL and the right side are opened. The character string image LGR is gradually opened in a Kannon opening mode, and in the specific end face effect C of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 103, the front surface of the left character string image LGL and the front surface of the right character string image LGR are closed so as to face each other and overlap. The left character string image LGL and the right character string image LGR were gradually closed so as to become. However, the stereoscopic image may be rotated in the same direction or may be rotated in different directions. For example, in the specific end face effect A of the stereoscopic image of FIG. 101, the left middle decorative symbol 8CL and the right middle decorative symbol 8CR are rotated in the same direction (for example, a right rotation mode and a left rotation mode).
