Japanese Patent No. 5975551 (paragraph 0958, FIG. 103)

As for a gaming machine such as a gaming machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, in which an effect is executed over a plurality of variable displays, there is room for improving the interest of the effect.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to improve the interest of the production in a gaming machine in which the production is executed over a plurality of variable displays.

The gaming machine of means 1 is
It is a gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 1) that can execute variable display (variable display) and control it to an advantageous state (big hit game state) that is advantageous to the player.
Equipped with an effect execution means (CPU 120 for effect control) capable of executing the effect.
The effect executing means is
A predetermined effect (super reach C (battle C effect)) suggesting that the control is controlled to the advantageous state, and
It is possible to execute a predetermined suggestion effect (development suggestion effect (first effect, second effect, third effect)) that suggests that the predetermined effect is executed.
The predetermined suggestion effect is executed over a plurality of variable displays based on the establishment of a predetermined condition (determination result at the time of starting winning).
As the modes of the predetermined suggestion effect, a first aspect (a common effect mode from the first effect to the first half of the third effect in the development suggestion effect) and a second aspect (in the second half of the third effect) that changes from the first aspect. There are a third mode (a failure mode) and a third mode (success mode in the latter half of the third production), which is a mode that changes from the first mode and has a higher rate of execution of the predetermined effect than the second mode.
A specific music is output during the execution of the predetermined suggestion effect in the first aspect (the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output during the execution period of the first effect).
When the predetermined suggestion effect changes from the first aspect to the second aspect, the output of the specific music ends (as shown in FIGS. 8-10 (3-4B) and (3-5B), the third aspect. When the failure mode occurs in the latter half of the production, the music B (special BGM) is not reproduced and output), and when the predetermined suggestion production changes from the first aspect to the third aspect, the specific music is continuously output. (As shown in FIGS. 8-10 (3-4A) to (3-6A), when the success mode is achieved in the latter half of the third production, the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output again).
A gaming machine characterized by that.
According to such a configuration, the output mode of the specific music differs depending on whether the predetermined suggestion effect changes from the first aspect to the second aspect or the predetermined suggestion effect changes from the first aspect to the third aspect. Therefore, there is a relationship between the mode of the predetermined suggestion effect and the output mode of the specific music, and the interest of the predetermined suggestion effect is improved.

(Basic explanation)
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (also the configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be described.

(Configuration of pachinko machine 1 etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1, showing an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly classified into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting the game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined ball launching device and is driven into the game area.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the right side of the game area), a variable display (also referred to as a special figure game) of a special symbol (also referred to as a special figure) as a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed. The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B to be performed are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

The "variable display" of the special symbol is, for example, to display a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). Fluctuations include update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. When the special symbol or the ordinary symbol described later is changed, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative symbols described later, a plurality of types of decorative symbols are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. The variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is blinked and displayed. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). The variable display may be expressed as a variable display or a variable display.

The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a "second special symbol". Further, the special figure game using the first special figure is also referred to as a "first special figure game", and the special figure game using the second special figure is also referred to as a "second special figure game". It should be noted that there may be one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of the special symbol.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), or the like, and displays various effects images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effects images are displayed on the image display device 5.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, a decorative symbol (a symbol indicating a number or the like) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbol is synchronized with the first special figure game or the second special figure game. Is variablely displayed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, up and down) in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". Direction scroll display and update display). It should be noted that the special figure game and the variable display of decorative symbols executed in synchronization are also collectively referred to as simply variable display.

On the screen of the image display device 5, a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display in which execution is suspended or an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed may be provided. Hold display and active display are also collectively referred to as variable display compatible display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable displays on hold is also called the number of stored items on hold. The number of reserved storage corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as the first reserved storage number, and the number of reserved storage corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as the second reserved storage number. Further, the total of the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number is also referred to as a total reserved storage number.

Further, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided, and the first hold indicator 25A has the number of LEDs lit. The first hold storage number is displayed, and the second hold display 25B displays the second hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

The winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening that is always kept in a constant open state in which a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the first special figure game may be started.

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that is changed between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, so that the tip of the movable wing pieces is in a vertical position. Is close to the winning ball device 6A and is in a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, the variable-sweep wing device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening because the movable wing piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is on (second start). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls can be paid out and the second special figure game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any as long as it changes between the closed state and the open state, and is not limited to the one provided with the electric tulip type accessory.

A general winning opening 10 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four positions on the lower left and right sides of the game area), which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when entering any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided. The special variable winning ball device 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and has a large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state depending on the large winning opening door. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning door (for special electric accessory) is off, the big winning door closes the big winning door and the game ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is on, the large winning opening door opens the large winning opening, and the game ball can easily enter the large winning opening. Become.

When a game ball enters the large prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball. When a game ball enters the large winning opening, more prize balls are paid out than when the game ball enters, for example, the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the general winning opening 10.

The entry of a game ball into each winning opening including the general winning opening 10 is also referred to as "winning". In particular, winning a prize at the starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as a starting winning.

A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the left side of the game area). As an example, the ordinary symbol display 20 is composed of a 7-segment LED or the like, and performs variable display of the ordinary symbol as a plurality of types of ordinary identification information different from the special symbol. Ordinary symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The normal symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of a normal pattern is also called a normal figure game.

A passing gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided on the left side of the image display device 5. Based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41, the normal drawing game is executed.

Above the normal symbol display 20, a normal symbol hold display 25C is provided. The normal figure hold display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of normal figure hold storages, which is the number of normal figure games whose execution is held, by the number of LEDs lit.

In addition to the above configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill that changes the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, there is an out opening for taking in a game ball that has not entered any of the winning openings.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and game effect lamps 9 for gaming effects are provided around the gaming area. Has been done. The game effect lamp 9 is configured to include an LED.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (not shown in FIG. 1), a movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a ball striking operation handle (operation knob) 30 operated by a player or the like to launch the game ball toward the game area by the striking ball launching device is provided.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, the gaming balls paid out as prize balls and the gaming balls rented by the predetermined ball lending machine are held (stored) so as to be able to be supplied to the hitting ball launching device. ) A hit ball supply plate (upper plate) is provided. Below the upper plate, a hit ball supply plate (lower plate) is provided, in which prize balls are paid out when the upper plate is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be gripped and tilted by the player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed and operated by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

A push button 31B is provided at a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area so that the player can perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. The operation on the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, stick controller 31A and push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the movement (operation, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the rotation operation of the ball striking operation handle 30 included in the pachinko game machine 1 by the player. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the period during which the previous normal drawing game is being executed (when the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 but the normal drawing game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately). , The general map game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (design per normal symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "per normal symbol". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the normal symbol (a symbol that is out of the normal symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol is "out of the normal symbol". When it becomes "per normal drawing", the opening control is performed so that the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period (the second starting winning opening is opened).

When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special figure game is being executed or during the period controlled by the big hit game state or the small hit game state described later (the start prize has occurred). If the special figure game based on the start winning cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the approach is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a jackpot symbol. If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes "small hit". Further, if a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit game state as an advantageous state advantageous for the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes "small hit", it is controlled to the small hit game state.

In the big hit game state, the player can obtain the prize ball by letting the game ball enter the big prize opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

A jackpot type is set for "big hit". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc., which will be described later) are prepared, and the big hit is made according to these. The type is set. As the jackpot type, a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained or a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or almost no prize balls can be obtained may be provided.

In the small hit game state, the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the same opening mode as the big hit game state in some big hit types (the number of times the big winning opening is opened is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same. Etc.), the big winning opening is opened. As with the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

After the jackpot game state is completed, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability change state according to the jackpot type.

In the time saving state, control (time saving control) is executed in which the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure is changed) is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time-saving state, the average fluctuation time of the normal map (the period during which the normal map is changed) is shortened from the normal state, and the probability of becoming a "normal map hit" in the normal map game is improved from the normal state. Controls (high opening control, high base control) that make it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening are also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

In the probability variation state (probability fluctuation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability variation control in which the probability that the display result becomes a "big hit" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The probabilistic state is a state that is more advantageous for the player because it is a state in which a “big hit” is likely to occur in addition to improving the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol.

The time saving state and the probability change state continue until any one of the end conditions such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit game state are satisfied first. A game whose end condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also referred to as a number cut (time cut time reduction, number cut probability change, etc.).

The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a time saving state, or a probability change state, which is advantageous for the player, and the display result in the normal drawing game is "normal drawing hit". The pachinko game machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit" returns to a predetermined state after the power is turned on (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as (when the process is not executed).

The state in which the probability change control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which the probability change control is not executed is also called a low probability state. The state in which the time saving control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time saving control is not executed is also called a low base state. By combining these, it is also called a low-accuracy high-base state in the time-saving state, a high-accuracy high-base state in the probabilistic state, and a low-accuracy low-base state in the normal state. The high-accuracy state and low-base state are also called the high-accuracy low-base state.

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled to the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small hit" (however, "small hit" occurs. If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). It should be noted that there may be no "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

The game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big winning opening) during the big hit game state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, it may be controlled to a probabilistic state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game and enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, and in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or a game effect lamp. It may be performed by 9 points or the like / extinguishing, the operation of the movable body 32, or the like.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the "left", "middle", and "right" provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first special figure game or the first 2 In response to the start of the special figure game, the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, the final decorative symbol (combination of three decorative symbols) that is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed. ) Is also displayed (derived) as a stop.

In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display of a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. It is a mode in which is continuing.

In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (display result of the special figure game or variable display of the decorative symbol) to be "big hit" (also called big hit reliability or big hit expectation) is determined according to the production mode. Multiple different types of reach effects are performed. Reach production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration). The display result of the variable display of the symbol is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". ..

In the case of a "probability change jackpot" that is controlled to a probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and displayed as a stop, and the probability change state is entered after the end of the jackpot game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", an even number of decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be aligned and displayed as a stop. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a probabilistic symbol, and the even-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a non-probable variable symbol (normal symbol). After the non-probability change symbol becomes the reach mode, the promotion effect that finally becomes the "probability change jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", a fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example," "is a predetermined small hit combination as a display result of variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5. 1 3 5 ”etc.) Is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a“ small hit ”). As an example, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state), and when it becomes "small hit". , A common fixed decorative symbol may be derived and displayed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, and the variable display result of the decorative symbol is a fixed decorative symbol of a non-reach combination ("" (Also referred to as "non-reach off") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "non-reach off"). In addition, when the display result is "off", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is changed to the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination ("reach loss"). The fixed decorative symbol (also called "") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "out of reach").

The effect that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute includes displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution and a look-ahead notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the look-ahead notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the usual mode may be executed.

Further, in the image display device 5, one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display. The pseudo-continuous production may be executed.

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type in the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a highly accurate state). By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not know whether the player is currently in the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, by executing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high accuracy state and the low accuracy state. You may.

Further, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demo effect is executed).

It is configured to include an output port for transmitting (a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal figure hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal).

The switch circuit 110 is a detection signal (a game ball passes or is passed) from various switches for detecting a game ball (gate switch 21, start port switch (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), count switch 23). (A detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on by entering) is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, the passage or approach of the game ball is detected.

The solenoid circuit 111 transmits a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal for turning on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for an ordinary electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for a prize-winning door. To transmit.

The main board 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control) issues an effect control command (command for designating (notifying) the progress of the game) according to the progress of the game as a part of controlling the progress of the game. Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, a display result of a special figure game (including a jackpot type)) and a variation pattern used when executing a special figure game (details will be described later). )), The game status (for example, the start and end of the variable display, the opening status of the large winning opening, the occurrence of winning, the number of stored memories, the game status), the command for specifying the occurrence of an error, and the like are included.

The effect control board 12 is a control board on the sub side independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and produces an effect (various effects according to the progress of the game) based on the received effect control command. It has a function of executing various notifications (including various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, and notification of power failure recovery).

The effect control board 12 is equipped with an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125.

The effect control CPU 120 is a process for executing the effect together with the display control unit 123 by executing the program stored in the ROM 121 (a process for realizing the above-mentioned function of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed). Including the decision etc.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as the main memory.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on the detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B (a signal output when an operation by the player is detected and an appropriate signal indicating the operation content). It may also instruct the control unit 123.

The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes the effect based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120.

The display control unit 123 supplies the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120, thereby causing the image display device 5 to display the effect image. The display control unit 123 further sends a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the output sound) to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. It supplies or supplies a lamp signal (a signal that specifies a lamp lighting / extinguishing mode) to the lamp control board 14.

(motion)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operations on the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is started, and the game control main process is executed by the CPU 103. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output ports, etc.), settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on the power supply board, for example. When the power is turned on with the clear switch turned on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. When the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command, for example, the image display device 5 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether or not the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power interruption), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko gaming machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stop of the power supply. In this power supply stop processing, a processing of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up to the RAM 102, a data protection processing of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes addition of an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and a process of backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for advancing the game (including various flags, various timer states, etc.), as well as the state of the backup flag and the error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and the backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (used by using an error detection code) and determines whether the data is normal or not (step). S5). In step S5, for example, the parity bit and the checksum are used to determine whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply is stopped. When it is determined that these match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a recovery process (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply is stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents (contents of the backed up data) of the RAM 102. As a result, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped, and if the special symbol is changing, the change of the special symbol is restarted from the state before the restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. Will be.

Then, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing recovery from the power failure to the effect control board 12 (step S7). In accordance with this, an effect control command that specifies the game state before the power failure that is backed up, and an effect control that specifies the display result of the special figure game that is being executed when the special figure game is being executed. You may want to send a command. For these commands, the same commands that are set to be transmitted in the special symbol process processing described later can be used. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command that specifies the time of recovery from the power failure, the image display device 5, for example, notifies that the image display device 5 has recovered from the power failure or is recovering from the power failure. Display the screen to do so. The effect control CPU 120 may display an appropriate screen based on the effect control command.

After the restoration process or the initialization process is completed and the effect control command is transmitted to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer is interrupted periodically every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and interrupts are permitted (step S12). ). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute the timer interrupt process.

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to perform the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, the jackpot information (information indicating the number of times the jackpot has occurred) and the start information (starting) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information indicating the number of times of winning (information indicating the number of times of winning, etc.) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of probability change state, etc.) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes the special symbol process process (step S25). By executing the special symbol process process for each timer interrupt by the CPU 103, it is possible to manage the execution and hold of the special symbol game, control the big hit game state and the small hit game state, control the game state, and the like (for details, refer to the details. See below).

Following the special symbol process processing, the normal symbol process processing is executed (step S26). By executing the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, the CPU 103 manages the execution and hold of the normal figure game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passing of the game ball through the passing gate 41). It enables opening control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per-figure". The execution of the normal figure game is performed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the number of normal figure reservations is displayed by turning on the normal figure hold display 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process process, as a part of the game control timer interrupt process, a process when a power failure occurs, a process for paying out a prize ball, and the like may be performed. After that, the CPU 103 executes the command control process (step S27). The CPU 103 may send and set an effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to a control board on the sub side such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted and then the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, a process of pre-reading and determining a display result or a fluctuation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After the hold information and the number of hold storages are stored, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for designating the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning prize, the number of hold storages, and the look-ahead determination is made on the effect control board 12. .. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, a transmission setting for transmitting an effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal processing in step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0” (initial value). In this special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether or not to start the first special figure game or the second special figure game based on the presence or absence of the pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is set as "big hit" or "small hit", and the big hit type when it is set as "big hit". Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a definite special symbol (either a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or an outlier symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. The special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also referred to as special figure 2 priority digestion). Further, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be memorized, and the starting condition of the special figure game may be satisfied in the winning order (also referred to as winning order digestion).

When making various determinations based on the random number value, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (a table in which the determination value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the determination result) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this fluctuation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns is set using a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern based on a preliminary determination result of whether or not the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The process of deciding on is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The fluctuation pattern includes the execution time of the special symbol game (special symbol fluctuation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol (presence or absence of reach, etc.), and the variable display of the decorative symbol. It specifies the content of the effect (type of reach effect, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. In this special symbol change processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are set to change the special symbol, and the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol. It includes processing to measure. In addition, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, and stop display (derive) the confirmed special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. Contains the process of making settings for. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". If the display result is "off", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "missing", the game state is also updated when the time saving state or the probability change state is controlled and the end of the number of cuts is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot release preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. This big hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting to start the execution of the round in the big hit game state and open the big winning opening based on the display result being "big hit". It has been. When the large winning opening is opened, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, the upper limit period for opening the big winning opening and the upper limit number of executions for the round are set according to which type of jackpot is used. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing ends.

The process of opening the jackpot in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. In this big hit opening process, the big winning opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is opened, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to return the device from the open state to the closed state. Then, when the large winning opening is returned to the closed state, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6" after executing a process of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door. End the processing while the jackpot is open.

The post-processing after opening the jackpot in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-opening process of the jackpot, a process of determining whether or not the number of executions of the round that opens the jackpot has reached the set maximum number of executions, and a jackpot game state when the maximum number of executions is reached. It includes processing to make settings to terminate. When the number of round executions has not reached the upper limit, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of round executions reaches the upper limit, the special figure process flag is set. The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the post-launch processing is completed.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. In this jackpot end process, there is a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period in which the ending effect as an effect action for notifying the end of the jackpot game state is executed, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing to make various settings to start control and time reduction control. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot end processing ends.

The small hit release preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This small hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting the large winning opening to be in the open state in the small hit game state based on the display result being "small hit". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit release preprocessing ends.

The small hit opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. In this small hit opening process, it is the timing to measure the elapsed time from the opening state of the big winning opening and to return the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. It includes processing to determine whether or not it is. When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small hit game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the processing during the small hit opening process ends.

The small hit end process in step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. The small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit game state is executed has elapsed. Here, when the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small hit end process ends.

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. When the effect control board 12 receives the power supply voltage from the power source board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

Further, on the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt disabled, but if a CPU that is not automatically interrupt disabled is used, an interrupt occurs. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in, for example, the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt enable, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read effect control command may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that which effect control command is received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process processing or the like. Turn on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display the background according to the game state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitter such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and a movable body. Control is performed to operate various effect devices such as the drive operation of 32. Further, regarding the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control command or the like transmitted from the main board 11.

Following the effect control process process in step S76, the effect random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a part of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by the software. After that, the process returns to the process of step S73. Other processes may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the read-ahead notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, and setting for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes any of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command or the like for designating the start of the variable display is received from the main board 11. Etc. are included. When it is determined that the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 is to be started, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. In this variable display start setting process, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (fixed decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the reach effect, and various types are based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command. It is determined whether or not various effects such as a notice effect are executed, their modes, and the execution start timing. Then, an effect control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) that reflects the determination result and the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start executing the variable display of the decorative symbol, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is completed. The display control unit 123 starts the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 in response to the instruction to start the execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol.

The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , Driving the movable body 32, outputting voice and sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting the command (sound effect signal) to the voice control board 13, and commanding the lamp control board 14 (illumination signal). Various effect controls are executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern, such as turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED according to the output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read from the effect control pattern, or a command is received from the main board 11 to specify that the fixed decorative symbol is to be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, the final decorative symbol that is the display result of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the effect process during variable display ends.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command that specifies to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command for specifying the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received, if the command specifies the start of the big hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to "6". Update to. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", which is a value corresponding to the small hit medium effect process. In addition, when the reception waiting time of the command elapses without receiving the command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "missing". Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the waiting process for hitting the special figure ends.

The small hit medium effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “4”. In this small hit medium effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the set content. .. Further, in the small hit middle effect processing, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify that the small hit game state is terminated, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small hit end effect. Update to a certain "5" and end the small hit medium production process.

The small hit end effect process in step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “5”. In this small hit end effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to, for example, the end of the small hit game state, and various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the setting contents. To execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the small hit end effect process is terminated.

The jackpot effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect processing, for example, the value of the effect control process flag is set to the value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. Update to 7 ”and end the production process during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, and various effect controls of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the setting contents Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process ends.

The range of MR1 to MR5 may be different depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

(Display result judgment)
FIG. 8-3 (A) is a diagram showing an example of a display result determination table referred to in the non-probability change state (low probability state). The display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101, and is a table in which a hit determination value to be compared with MR1 which is a random number value for determining the special figure display result is set. In each display result determination table, the variable special figure designation buffer is 1 (first), that is, the case where the first special symbol is the target of the variable display and the variable special figure designation buffer is 2 (second). That is, a determination value for a big hit is set for each of the cases where the second special symbol is the target of the variable display.

As shown in FIG. 8-3 (A), when the display result determination table at the time of non-probability change (low probability) is used, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer is the first, that is, the first special symbol changes. If it is the target of display, the jackpot will be won at a rate of 1/300. Further, when the variable special figure designation buffer is the second, the same judgment value as when the variable special figure designation buffer is the first is set as the judgment value corresponding to the big hit, and the second special symbol is set. Is targeted for variable display, the jackpot is won at the same rate (1/300) as when the first special symbol is targeted for variable display.

That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table at the time when the variation display is to be started in the low accuracy state, and determines which one of the hits the MR1 value corresponds to the big hit shown in FIG. 8-3 (A). If it matches the value, it is decided to make a big hit with respect to the special symbol. In addition, the "ratio" shown in FIG. 8-3 (A) indicates the ratio (ratio) of becoming a big hit. Further, determining whether or not to make a big hit means determining whether or not to control the big hit game state, but the stop symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is determined. It also means deciding whether or not to make a big hit design.

FIG. 8-3 (B) is a diagram showing an example of a display result determination table referred to in the probability variation state (high probability state). The display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101, and is a table in which a hit determination value to be compared with MR1 which is a random number value for determining the special figure display result is set. In each display result judgment table, the variable special figure designation buffer is 1 (first), that is, the case where the first special symbol is the target of the variable display and the variable special figure designation buffer is 2 (second). That is, a determination value for a big hit is set for each of the cases where the second special symbol is the target of the variable display.

As shown in FIG. 8-3 (B), when the display result determination table at the time of probability change (high probability) is used, when the variable special figure designation buffer is the first, that is, the first special symbol is changed display. If you are the target of, you will win a big hit at a rate of 1/60. Further, when the variable special figure designation buffer is the second, the same judgment value as when the variable special figure designation buffer is the first is set as the judgment value corresponding to the big hit, and the second special symbol is set. Is targeted for variable display, the jackpot is won at the same rate (1/60) as when the first special symbol is targeted for variable display.

That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table at the time when the variation display is to be started in the high accuracy state, and determines which one of the hits the MR1 value corresponds to the big hit shown in FIG. 8-3 (B). If it matches the value, it is decided to make a big hit with respect to the special symbol. In addition, the "ratio" shown in FIG. 8-3 (B) indicates the rate (ratio) of becoming a big hit. Further, determining whether or not to make a big hit means determining whether or not to control the big hit game state, but the stop symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is determined. It also means deciding whether or not to make a big hit design.

Further, in this embodiment, the CPU 103 uses the display result determination table shown in FIGS. 8-3 (A) and 8-3 to determine whether or not to make a big hit, but the big hit determination table is used. The jackpot is determined separately by using a common table for the case of the variable display of the first special symbol and the case of the variable display of the second special symbol regardless of the variable special symbol designation buffer. May be good.

A total of 6 setting values, 1 to 6, may be provided as the setting values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the display result corresponding to the setting value set at the time when the variable display is to be started. You may decide to make a big hit with respect to the special symbol by referring to the judgment table. That is, the jackpot winning may be determined at a rate according to the set value.

Although an example of providing a total of 6 setting values of 1 to 6 as setting values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The set value may be 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7 or more.

(Big hit type judgment)
FIG. 8-4 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot type determination table [for the first special symbol] stored in the ROM 101, and FIG. 8-4 (B) is a jackpot type stored in the ROM 101. It is explanatory drawing which shows the determination table [for the 2nd special symbol]. Of these, FIG. 8-4 (A) determines the jackpot type using the hold memory based on the game ball winning the first start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed). It is a table when you do. Further, in FIG. 8-4 (B), the jackpot type is determined by using the hold memory based on the game ball winning the second start winning opening (that is, when the variation display of the second special symbol is performed). It is a table of cases.

In the jackpot type determination table, when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot symbol, the jackpot type is set to "4R normal jackpot [100 times]" based on the random number (MR2) for determining the jackpot type. It is a table referred to for determining one of "2R normal jackpot [100 times]", "4R probability variation jackpot [next time]", and "10R probability variation jackpot [next time]".

Here, the jackpot type in this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the jackpot types are "normal jackpot" (also referred to as non-probability variable jackpot) in which only the time saving control is executed after the jackpot game state ends and the game shifts to the low probability / high base state, and after the jackpot game ends. In, a "probability change jackpot" is set in which high-accuracy control and time-saving control are executed to shift to a high-accuracy / high-base state.

The jackpot game state by "2R jackpot" is a normally open jackpot that is repeatedly executed twice (so-called 2 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state that is advantageous to the player. The big hit game state by "big hit" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed four times (so-called four rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player. Further, the big hit game state by the "10R big hit" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player.

The time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by "normal big hit [100 times]" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this example), or the special figure of the predetermined number of times. It ends when the game is in a big hit game state before the game is executed.

On the other hand, the high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of "probability variation jackpot [next time]" are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the jackpot that occurs again is one of the types of "4R probability variation jackpot [next time]" and "10R probability variation jackpot [next time]", high accuracy control and time saving control are performed again after the end of the jackpot game state. Is executed, so that the jackpot game state is continuously generated without going through the normal state, which is a so-called consecutive villa state.

For example, in the jackpot game state by "4R normal jackpot [100 times]", the round that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state that is advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed four times (so-called four rounds). It is an open jackpot, and after the end of the jackpot game state, it shifts to the low accuracy / high base state, and the time saving control executed after that is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this example). Alternatively, it is a jackpot type that ends when the jackpot game state is reached before the predetermined number of special figure games are executed. In addition, the jackpot game state by "10R probability variation jackpot [next time]" is a normal opening in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state which is advantageous for the player. It is a big hit, and after the end of the big hit game state, it shifts to the high accuracy / high base state, and the high accuracy control and the time saving control executed after that continue until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit game state. This is the type of jackpot to be executed.

In the present embodiment, four types of jackpot types are provided as examples, but the present invention is not limited to this, and three or less or five or more types of jackpot types are provided. May be good.

As shown in FIG. 8-4 (A), in the jackpot type determination table [for the first special symbol], out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2, 0 to 104 are "4R normal jackpot [100 times]. ] ”, And 105 to 284 are assigned to“ 4R probability variation jackpot [next time] ”, and 285 to 299 are assigned to“ 10R probability variation jackpot [next time] ”.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-4 (B), in the jackpot type determination table [for the second special symbol], out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2, 0 to 104 are "2R normal jackpot [2R normal jackpot]. It is assigned to "100 times]", and 105 to 299 are assigned to "10R probability variation jackpot [next time]".

As described above, in the present embodiment, when a big hit occurs in the special figure game of the first special symbol, a common judgment value is assigned in the big hit type judgment table regardless of which set value is set. ing. Similarly, when a jackpot occurs in the special symbol game of the second special symbol, a common determination value is assigned in the jackpot type determination table regardless of which set value is set.

(Variation pattern judgment)
In the present embodiment, when the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern based on the determination result at the start winning prize (and the determination result at the start of the variation), the first half of the (X) variation pattern (hereinafter, the variation pattern [first half portion]). ] Is determined, and then the latter half of the (Y) fluctuation pattern (hereinafter referred to as the fluctuation pattern [second half]) is determined. Then, a combination of the determined (X) fluctuation pattern [first half] and (Y) fluctuation pattern [second half] is defined as a fluctuation pattern. For example, the fluctuation pattern [first half] and the fluctuation pattern [second half] may have the same data length (for example, 1 byte), and different data lengths (for example, the fluctuation pattern [first half] may be 3). It may be a byte and the fluctuation pattern [second half] may be 1 byte, or the fluctuation pattern [first half] may be 1 byte and the fluctuation pattern [second half] may be 3 bytes). The fluctuation pattern in the present embodiment shall be indicated by "[variation pattern [first half]], [variation pattern [second half]]".

(Variation pattern [first half] judgment)
As the fluctuation pattern [second half] judgment table, in the judgment at the start winning (and the judgment at the start of fluctuation), the fluctuation display result (display result of the fluctuation display to start) based on the start winning is "missed". In the [for off] fluctuation pattern [first half] judgment table used when it is decided in advance to set, and the judgment at the start winning (and the judgment at the start of fluctuation), the fluctuation display based on the starting prize is displayed. A [for big hit] fluctuation pattern [first half] determination table, which is used when it is determined in advance that the fluctuation display result (display result of the fluctuation display to be started) is set to "big hit", is prepared in advance.

The ROM 101 has a [for loss] fluctuation pattern [first half] for determining the [for loss] fluctuation pattern [first half] based on the random number value MR3-1 for determining the [for loss] fluctuation pattern [first half]. The determination table is also stored, and the [for off] fluctuation pattern [first half] is determined to be one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns according to the preliminary determination result. Further, the ROM 101 has a [big hit] fluctuation pattern [first half] for determining the [big hit] fluctuation pattern [first half] based on the random number value MR3-1 for determining the [big hit] fluctuation pattern [first half]. The [part] determination table is also stored, and the [for big hit] fluctuation pattern [first half] is determined to be one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns according to the pre-determination result.

[For off] Fluctuation pattern [First half] In the judgment table, (X00) "No pseudo-continuous production" fluctuation pattern [First half], (X01) "With pseudo-continuous production" fluctuation pattern [First half], ( X02) Fluctuation pattern of "development suggestion effect (success mode)" [first half], (X03) variation pattern of "development suggestion effect (failure mode)" [first half] [First half] Random value for determination A predetermined random value within the range that MR3-1 can take is assigned as a determination value. The pseudo-continuous production and the development suggestion production will be described in detail later.

The variation pattern [first half] of (X00) “without pseudo-continuous effect” is a variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is not executed after the variation display is started, and (X01) the variation pattern [first half] of “with pseudo-continuous effect”. Part] is a fluctuation pattern in which a pseudo-continuous effect is executed after the fluctuation display is started. Further, the variation pattern [first half] of (X02) “with development suggestion effect (success mode)” is a variation pattern in which the development suggestion effect of the success mode is executed after the variation display is started, and (X03) “ The variation pattern [first half] of "with development suggestion effect (failure mode)" is a variation pattern in which the development suggestion effect of the failure mode is executed after the variation display is started.

As shown in FIG. 8-5 (A1), in the variation pattern [first half] determination table, 1 to 500 of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3-1 is the variation of "no pseudo continuous effect". It is assigned to the pattern [first half], 501 to 977 is assigned to the variation pattern [first half] of "with pseudo-continuous production", and 978 to 981 is "with development suggestion production (success mode)". Is assigned to the fluctuation pattern [first half] of, and 982 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [first half] of "with development suggestion effect (failure mode)".

A numerical value is assigned as a judgment value.

As shown in FIG. 8-5 (A2), in the fluctuation pattern [first half] judgment table, 1 to 500 of the judgment value ranges 1 to 997 of MR3-1 are fluctuations of "no pseudo-continuous production". It is assigned to the pattern [first half], and 501 to 977 are assigned to the variation pattern [first half] of "with pseudo-continuous production", and 978 to 997 are "with development suggestion production (success mode)". It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern [first half] of.

(Fluctuation pattern [second half] judgment)
As the fluctuation pattern [second half] judgment table, in the judgment at the start winning (and the judgment at the start of fluctuation), the fluctuation display result (display result of the fluctuation display to start) based on the start winning is "missed". In the [for off] fluctuation pattern [second half] judgment table used when it is pre-determined to be set, and in the judgment at the start winning (and the judgment at the start of fluctuation), the fluctuation display based on the starting prize is displayed. A [for big hit] fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table, which is used when it is determined in advance that the fluctuation display result (display result of the fluctuation display to be started) is set to "big hit", is prepared in advance. In the present embodiment, when the fluctuation pattern [second half] is determined, the points referred to in the fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table are different based on the determined fluctuation pattern [first half].

In the ROM 101, the [for loss] fluctuation pattern [second half] for determining the [for loss] fluctuation pattern [second half] based on the random number value MR3-2 for determining the [second half] fluctuation pattern [second half] The determination table is also stored, and the [for off] fluctuation pattern [second half] is determined to be one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns according to the preliminary determination result.

[For loss] Fluctuation pattern [Second half] In the judgment table, (Y00) “Non-reach loss” fluctuation pattern [Second half], (Y01) “Normal reach loss” fluctuation pattern [Second half], (Y02) “ Fluctuation pattern of "Super Reach A off" [second half], (Y03) Fluctuation pattern of "Super Reach B off" [second half], (Y04) Fluctuation pattern of "Super Reach C off" [second half] On the other hand, a predetermined random number value is assigned as the determination value in the range that the random number value MR3-2 for determining the fluctuation pattern [second half] can take.

The "non-reach out of reach" variation pattern [second half] is a variation pattern in which the combination of decorative symbols indicating that the reach is not established and the variation display result becomes "out of reach" after the variation display is started is stopped and displayed. Is. Since the effect that the reach is established is not executed, the effect that the reach is established when the variation display result is "out of reach" is performed during the variation display period when the variation pattern [second half] of "non-reach is out" is determined. It is shorter than the fluctuation display period of the other fluctuation patterns to be executed [second half] (“normal reach out of”, “super reach A out of”, “super reach B out of”, “super reach C out of”). However, the fluctuation display period in this case is the fluctuation display period of the fluctuation pattern [second half], and the fluctuation pattern (variation pattern [first half] + fluctuation pattern [ The second half]) fluctuation display period is different.

The ROM 101 has a [big hit] fluctuation pattern [second half] for determining the [big hit] fluctuation pattern [second half] based on the random number value MR3-2 for determining the [big hit] fluctuation pattern [second half]. The determination table is also stored, and the [for big hit] fluctuation pattern [second half] is determined to be one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns according to the preliminary determination result.

[For jackpot] Fluctuation pattern [second half] In the judgment table, (Y11) "normal reach jackpot" fluctuation pattern [second half], (Y12) "super reach A jackpot" fluctuation pattern [second half], (Y13) Random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern [second half] for each fluctuation pattern [second half] of the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "super reach B jackpot" and (Y14) fluctuation pattern [second half] of "super reach C jackpot" A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value in the range that -2 can take.

In the present embodiment, in the fluctuation pattern with normal reach [second half] (“normal reach loss” and “normal reach jackpot”), after the reach state is established, the super reach effect (battle effect) described later is not executed. The final display result is fixed and stopped.

In the present embodiment, fluctuation patterns accompanied by super reach ("super reach A miss", "super reach A jackpot", "super reach B miss", "super reach B jackpot", "super reach C miss" and "super reach C miss" In "C jackpot"), after the reach state is established, as a super reach effect, a battle effect is executed to notify whether or not the ally character and the enemy character have won the jackpot by performing a battle, and the battle effect is performed. After the end, the final display result is fixed and stopped.

In the present embodiment, in the fluctuation pattern accompanied by Super Reach A (“Super Reach A Off” and “Super Reach A Big Hit”), as a super reach effect, a normal ally character and an enemy A character battle to make a big hit. A battle A effect is executed to notify whether or not the player has won, and in the fluctuation pattern accompanied by super reach B ("Super reach B off" and "Super reach B jackpot"), the normal ally character and the enemy are used as the super reach effect. By performing a battle with the B character, a battle B effect is executed to notify whether or not the jackpot has been won.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the fluctuation pattern accompanied by super reach C (“super reach C off” and “super reach C jackpot”), as a super reach effect, a special ally character and an enemy C character perform a battle. A battle C effect is executed to notify whether or not the jackpot has been won.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation pattern with super reach A (“super reach A miss” and “super reach A jackpot”) and the fluctuation pattern with super reach B (“super reach B miss” and “super reach B jackpot”) ”), A battle production (battle A production, battle B production) that notifies whether or not a big hit has been won by performing a battle with different enemy characters (enemy A character, enemy B character) that are common normal ally characters. Is executed, so that there are many common parts between the production mode of the battle A production and the production mode of the battle B production.

However, in the fluctuation pattern with Super Reach C (“Super Reach C Off” and “Super Reach C Big Hit”), a battle between the special ally character and the enemy C character informs whether or not the big hit has been won. Since the battle C production is executed, there are many differences between the production mode of the battle C production and the production mode of the battle A production and the battle B production.

As shown in FIG. 8-5 (B1), in the [for off] fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table, the predetermined fluctuation pattern [first half] is (X00) "no pseudo-continuous effect" or (X01). ) In the case of "with pseudo-continuous production", out of the range 1 to 997 of the judgment value of MR3-2, 1 to 898 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "non-reach out of reach", and 899 to 898. Up to 967 is assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "normal reach loss", 968 to 987 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "super reach A loss", and 988 to 997 are assigned to "second half". It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "super reach B off".

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (B1), in the [for off] fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table, the predetermined fluctuation pattern [first half] is (X02) "development suggestion effect (success). In the case of "Aspect)", out of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3-2, 1 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "out of super reach C".

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (B1), in the [for off] fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table, the predetermined fluctuation pattern [first half] is (X03) "development suggestion effect (failure)". In the case of "Aspect)", out of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3-2, 1 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "non-reach out".

As shown in FIG. 8-5 (B2), in the [big hit] fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table, the predetermined fluctuation pattern [first half] is (X00) "no pseudo-continuous production" or (X01). ) In the case of "with pseudo-continuous production", 1 to 50 of the judgment value ranges 1 to 997 of MR3-2 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of "normal reach jackpot", and 51 to 666. Are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of the "super reach A jackpot", and 376 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of the "super reach B jackpot".

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (B2), in the [for big hit] fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table, the predetermined fluctuation pattern [first half] is (X02) "development suggestion effect (success). In the case of "Aspect)", out of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3-2, 1 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern [second half] of the "super reach C jackpot".

As described above, in the present embodiment, the predetermined fluctuation pattern [first half] and the predetermined fluctuation pattern [second half] are combined to form a set of fluctuation patterns. In the following, it is assumed that the determined fluctuation pattern is indicated by "[variation pattern [first half]], [variation pattern [second half]]. For example, the fluctuation pattern [first half] is preliminarily stated as" no pseudo-continuous production ". When it is determined and the fluctuation pattern [second half] is pre-determined as "out of super reach A", the fluctuation pattern is shown as "[no pseudo-continuous production], [out of super reach A]".

As shown in FIGS. 8-5 (A1) and (A2), in the fluctuation pattern [first half] determination table, (X00) "without pseudo-continuous effect", (X01) "with pseudo-continuous effect", (X02) It is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns [first half] of "with development suggestion effect (success mode)" and (X03) with "development suggestion effect (failure mode)". Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 can specify whether or not the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, and whether or not the development suggestion effect is executed and the effect mode by referring to the predetermined variation pattern [first half portion].

As shown in FIGS. 8-5 (B1) and (B2), in the fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table, (Y00) "non-reach loss", (Y01) "normal reach loss", (Y02) "super reach" One of the fluctuation patterns [second half] in which the display result of "A off", (Y03) "Super reach B off", (Y04) "Super reach C off" is "Loss", or (Y11) "Normal reach jackpot" , (Y12) "Super Reach A Big Hit", (Y13) "Super Reach B Big Hit", (Y14) "Super Reach C Big Hit" in any of the fluctuation patterns [second half] where the display result is "Big Hit" It is judged. Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 can specify whether or not reach is established, the type of super reach, and the display result by referring to the predetermined variation pattern [second half].

In the present embodiment, the super reach C is a super reach that can be developed (shiftable from the normal reach) in response to the success of the development suggestion effect, and when it develops into the super reach C, the player You will have a very high expectation. Therefore, when the development suggestion effect is executed, the player expects that the development suggestion effect will be a success mode, and the result of the development suggestion effect (whether it will be a success mode or a failure mode). Focus on it. When the development suggestion effect is executed as the look-ahead suggestion effect, the player's expectation is greatly increased even before the start of the variation display, which is the target of the development suggestion effect, and the development suggestion effect is suggested during the change. When executed as an effect, the player's attention will be focused on the various effects executed in the variable display.

In this embodiment, among Super Reach A to C, the jackpot expectation is highest when it develops into Super Reach B, but it is not limited to such a form, and it is not limited to such a form, and when it develops into Super Reach C, it is a jackpot. The determination values of the variation pattern [first half] determination table and the variation pattern [second half] determination table may be assigned so that the degree of expectation is the highest.

(Audio playback area)
FIG. 8-6 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the audio reproduction region in the present embodiment. Next, the configuration of the audio reproduction area will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-6. The audio reproduction area is a storage area for reproducing sound data. For example, the voice reproduction area is provided in the storage unit included in the voice control board 13.

First, as shown in FIG. 8-6, the audio reproduction area is composed of 12 channels “CH0” to “CH11”. In the audio reproduction area, a "pair CH" is composed of two consecutive channels for storing "stereo data". Then, the "monaural data" is stored in one channel of this "pair CH".

Here, the sound data of the effect sound output by the speakers 8L and 8R includes "stereo data" having a relatively large amount of data and "monaural data" having a relatively small amount of data. In this example, the music is "stereo data", and the sound effects, character voice sounds, winning sounds, and error notification sounds are "monaural data".

Next, the error notification sound will be described. The error notification sound in the present embodiment includes an abnormal winning error sound and a magnetic detection error sound.

The abnormal winning error sound (error notification sound A) is an error sound detected when a game ball wins a prize at a time other than a predetermined time such as when the special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is opened. The magnetic detection error sound (error notification sound B) is an error sound detected when a magnetic force of a predetermined value or more is detected by the magnetic detection sensor connected to the main board 11.

Here, the error notification sound has a higher priority to be notified to the player than other production sounds such as music. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-6, "CH0" and "CH1" are secured as fixed channels for reproducing each error notification sound. Specifically, "error notification sound A (abnormal winning)" is stored in "CH0", and "error notification sound B (magnetic detection)" is stored in "CH1". When any of these errors is detected, a channel unique to the error notification sound is specified based on the playback output command of the error notification sound of the error that occurred, and the specified channel is specified. In the channel, the monaural data of the error notification sound is reproduced and output.

On the other hand, the sound data of the sound related to the effect (effect sound) is set to be reproduced and output by any of "CH2" to "CH11". The sound data of the effect sound is stored in the designated channel of "CH2" to "CH11" at the timing of reproducing and outputting the effect sound, and is deleted from that channel when the reproduction is completed.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-6, "CH2" and "CH3" are "music A (normal BGM)", "CH4" and "CH5" are "music B (special BGM)", and "CH6". "Sound effect A (first production: first stage sound effect)", "CH7" for "sound effect B (second production: second stage sound effect)", "CH8" for "sound effect C (third production: success)" "Sound effect", "CH9" for "sound effect D (third production: failure sound effect)", "CH10" for "character voice sound (voice notice production)", "CH11" for "special winning sound (at the time of winning)" The explanation will be made assuming that each of the "flash effects)" is memorized. The production sound stored in each channel can be arbitrarily set, and is not limited to this example.

Further, "basic volume", "channel setting ratio", "volume value", and "output volume" are set for each channel of "CH0" to "CH11" in the audio reproduction area shown in FIG. 8-6. ..

The basic volume is a value indicating the loudness of the sound data itself. The basic volume can be set according to the priority to be notified to the player. In this example, the basic volume can be set between "1" and "5". Although the basic volume will be described below as a numerical value, the loudness of the sound may be determined by the size of the waveform of the sound data itself.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8-6, the basic volume differs depending on whether or not the sound is an error notification sound and the type of the effect sound. Specifically, the "error notification sound A (abnormal prize)" and the "error notification sound B (magnetic detection)" have the maximum basic volume of "5". On the other hand, the sound data of the effect sound has a basic volume of "4" or less ("3" or "4"). This is because the effect sound is less likely to be directly related to the cheating by the player than the abnormal winning error and the magnetic detection error, and the priority of notifying the player is low.

The channel setting ratio is a volume value specified for each channel. The channel setting ratio can be set in each channel from the maximum volume "1" which is 100% of the reference output volume to all mute "0" which is 0%.

The volume value is an upper limit value (volume value) of the volume that can be output by the pachinko gaming machine 1. In this example, the master volume can be set between "1" and "5". This volume value can be set to an arbitrary value by the player performing a predetermined operation (for example, pressing the left and right buttons of the effect keys provided on the pachinko gaming machine 1).

The output volume is the volume of the sound reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The output volume is determined based on the "basic volume", "channel setting ratio", and "volume value" of the sound data. The output volume is a numerical value obtained by multiplying the "basic volume", the "channel setting ratio", and the "volume value". In this example, the output volume can be set between "0" and "25".

As shown in FIG. 8-6, the error notification sound having a high priority to be notified to the player is reproduced and output by the fixed “CH0” and “CH1”. Unlike the other channels ("CH2" to "CH11"), the fixed channels "CH0" and "CH1" are reproduced and output with the maximum output volume of "25" as a fixed value. Specifically, in "CH0" and "CH1", the volume value is always the maximum value without accepting a predetermined operation by the player (for example, pressing the left and right buttons of the effect key provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1). It is fixed at "5" of.

(Fade, mute)
Next, fade (fade out, fade in) and mute, which are processes for changing the "output volume", will be described. These fade-out, fade-in, and mute are executed by changing the "output volume" as the "channel setting ratio" shown in FIG. 8-6 is changed.

Here, in the fade-out, the output volume is gradually reduced by executing a process of gradually reducing the channel setting ratio of the effect sound during playback output from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)". The process of reducing to "0" is executed. Further, in the fade-in, the output volume is gradually increased by executing the process of gradually increasing the channel setting ratio of the effect sound during the reproduction output from "0 (0%)" to "1 (100%)". The process of increasing to the maximum value is executed.

In mute, the output volume of the effect sound during playback output is set to "0" by executing the process of setting the channel setting ratio of the effect sound during playback output to "0 (0%)". Will be executed. In the state where mute is executed, the output volume is "0", but the effect sound itself is being reproduced. When an error notification sound having a high priority to be notified to the player is output, all the other channels "CH2" to "CH11" may be muted.

In this way, in the fade-out, the output volume of the production sound during the playback output gradually decreases to "0" (for example, 1 (100%) → 0.5 (50%) → 0 (for example). On the other hand, in mute, the output volume of the effect sound during playback output immediately becomes "0" (for example, 1 (100%) → 0 (0%)). That is, it can be said that mute is a control in which the output volume of the effect sound is lowered (set to 0) in a shorter time than the fade-out, and the degree of decrease in the output volume per hour is high.

(Development suggestion production)
In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the development suggestion effect based on the determination result at the time of winning the start. In the development suggestion effect in the present embodiment, the first effect suggesting (notifying) [the degree of expectation to develop into Super Reach C] and [the information related to the degree of expectation suggested in the first effect are emphasized and displayed. Includes a second effect that continuously suggests (notifies) [expectation to develop into Super Reach C] and a third effect that suggests (notifies) [whether or not it develops into Super Reach C]. It is a production. Further, in the present embodiment, the first effect is a specific suggestion effect that suggests (notifies) the degree of expectation that develops into Super Reach C, and the second and third effects suggest the degree of expectation that develops into Super Reach C. This will be described as a specific branching effect that (notifies) and suggests (notifies) whether or not to develop into Super Reach C.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first effect in the development suggestion effect is that the variation pattern of the variation display (variation display corresponding to the hold display) whose execution is suspended is a variation pattern accompanied by super reach C (battle C). It is a kind of look-ahead suggestion effect that suggests that the effect is executed), and the variation pattern of the executed variation display (variation display corresponding to the active display) is a variation pattern accompanied by super reach C (battle C). It is also a kind of suggestive effect during fluctuation that suggests that the effect is executed). Both the second and third effects in the development suggestion effect are in the process of suggesting that the variation pattern of the executed variation display (variation display corresponding to the active display) is a variation pattern accompanied by super reach C. It is a kind of suggestive production. In addition, the specific suggestion effect (look-ahead suggestion effect, variable suggestion effect) not only suggests that it develops into Super Reach C (battle C effect is executed), but also another notice effect is executed. It may be a production that suggests.

The development suggestion effect is composed of a first effect, a second effect, and a third effect. In the first and second effects in the development suggestion effect, [there is a possibility of developing into super reach C] and [the degree of expectation to develop into super reach C] are suggested (notified). In the first and second productions in the special pre-production, [there is a possibility of developing into Super Reach C] and [the degree of expectation to develop into Super Reach C] are suggested (notified), but [Super Reach C] Regardless of whether or not it develops into (that is, regardless of whether the mode of the development suggestion effect is subsequently a failure mode or a success mode), it is a common mode.

In addition, the third production in the development suggestion production is composed of [first half part] and [second half part]. In the third production [first half] in the development suggestion production, [whether or not it develops into super reach C] is in a state of being fueled, and in the third production [second half] in the development suggestion production, [whether it develops into super reach C]. Whether or not] is suggested (notified).

In the third production [first half] in the development suggestion production, the mode of the development suggestion production is a common production mode regardless of whether the mode is a success mode or a failure mode, and the third production in the development suggestion production. In the production [second half], the production mode differs depending on whether the mode of the development suggestion production is a success mode or a failure mode. In the present embodiment, the execution of the development suggestion effect of the success mode (that is, the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect) is the specific branch effect of the success mode (specific branch effect [success mode]). ) Is executed, and the execution of the development suggestion effect of the failure mode (that is, the third effect [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion effect) is the specific branch effect (specific branch) of the failure mode. It corresponds to the execution of the production [failure mode]).

In the present embodiment, the music B (special BGM) can be reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R when the development suggestion effect is executed or after the development to the super reach C. In music B (special BGM), the first period (A melody in this example) that is reproduced and output when the first effect in the development suggestion effect is being executed, and the third effect in the development suggestion effect [first half]. ] Is played back and output when the second period (B melody and chorus in this example) and the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect are completed. The third period (large rust in this example) is included. Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the music B (special BGM) can be reproduced and output even during the big hit game or during the high accuracy / high base state (during the probability change state).

In the present embodiment, the first period in the music B (special BGM) is set as the reproduction period of the verse in the special BGM. This verse is composed of a singing part and an interlude part. For example, the singing part is for 20 seconds and the interlude part is for 40 seconds. Here, tentatively, the execution period of the first production is longer than the first period (A melody [maximum 60 seconds] = singing part [20 seconds] + interlude part [40 seconds]) in the music B (special BGM). If this happens, the effect control CPU 120 will perform the first period (A melody [maximum 60 seconds] = singing part [20 seconds] + interlude part [40 seconds]) in the music B (special BGM) after the playback output. During the remaining period of one production, it is possible to repeatedly reproduce and output only the interlude portion [40 seconds] of the verse.

In this way, even when the execution period of the first production is longer than the first period (60 seconds) of the music B (special BGM), the second stage of the music B (special BGM) is performed at the stage of the first production. Limiting (prohibiting) the transition to the period (B melody and chorus), and continuing the A melody (in this example, only the interlude part [40 seconds] of the A melody) during the remaining period of the first production. By playing and outputting the music, the music is played appropriately according to the progress of the production.

In the present embodiment, when the development suggestion effect is being executed, the sound effect A (second effect: first stage sound effect), sound effect B (second effect: second stage sound effect), and sound effect are emitted from the speakers 8L and 8R. C (third effect: success sound effect) and sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) can be reproduced and output. The sound effects in the development suggestion effect include sound effect A (second effect: first stage sound effect) and sound effect B (second effect: second stage effect) that are reproduced and output when the second effect in the development suggestion effect is being executed. Sound effect), sound effect C (third effect: success sound effect) that is reproduced and output when the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect is being executed, and the third effect in the development suggestion effect. A sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) that is reproduced and output when [second half: failure mode] is being executed is included.

(Link image)
In the present embodiment, when the first effect in the development suggestion effect is executed, a link image (in this example, an image including a rod-shaped crystal and musical notes) is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5. To. The rod-shaped crystal shown in the link image will be described in detail later, but is a crystal having a different shape from the large-grained crystal shown in the third effect image and the fourth effect image of the diffusion mode displayed thereafter. The link image is an object different from the hold display corresponding to the variable display whose execution is suspended and the active display corresponding to the variable display being executed, which are displayed on the screen of the image display device 5. Therefore, the link image is displayed in an area different from both the hold display area where the hold display is displayed and the active display area where the active display is displayed.

There are multiple types of link images (display colors): a blue link image containing a blue crystal (blue rod-shaped crystal), a green link image containing a green crystal (green rod-shaped crystal), and a red link image. There is a red link image that includes a crystal (red rod-shaped crystal). In the present embodiment, the degree of expectation for developing Super Reach C is high in the order of blue link image <green link image <red link image (see FIG. 8-25).

Further, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types (sizes) of the link image, for example, a link image in a reduced mode and a linked image in an enlarged mode. FIG. 8-12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the mode (size) of the link image displayed in the lower right region of the screen of the image display device 5. As shown in FIG. 8-12 (1), the link image in the reduced mode (blue link image 22TM300a in this example) is an image including a small blue crystal (small blue rod-shaped crystal) and a small note. As shown in FIG. 8-12 (2), the link image in the enlarged mode (blue link image 22TM300A in this example) is an image including a large blue crystal (large blue rod-shaped crystal) and a large note. is there.

In the present embodiment, in the period in which the link image is displayed, the link image in the reduced mode is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 500 ms), the link image in the enlarged mode is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 500 ms), and then. The display of the linked image in the reduced mode is repeated for a predetermined period (for example, 500 ms). That is, the link image in the reduced mode (see FIG. 8-12 (1)) → the link image in the enlarged mode (see FIG. 8-12 (2)) → the link image in the reduced mode (see FIG. 8-12 (1)) → The reduced mode and the enlarged mode are alternately displayed so as to be a link image of the enlarged mode (see FIG. 8-12 (2)).

In the present embodiment, when the first effect in the development suggestion effect is being executed, the first period (A melody in this example) in the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The linked image in the reduced mode and the linked image in the enlarged mode are alternately displayed in the lower right region of the screen of the image display device 5. In this way, the link image in the lower right region of the screen of the image display device 5 is an object corresponding to the first period (A melody in this example) in the music B (special BGM) reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. It has become.

It should be noted that the cycle in which the display mode of the link image changes (the cycle from the reduced mode to the reduced mode via the enlarged mode) is a cycle that matches the rhythm of the music B (special BGM) that is being reproduced and output. Good. For example, the change cycle of the link image may be changed in response to the change in the rhythm of the music B (special BGM). Further, when the music B (special BGM) is in the high range, the display mode of the link image is reduced, and when the music B (special BGM) is in the low range, the display mode of the link image is expanded. You may. Further, the link image may include the song title of the song B. As described above, the display mode of the link image is assumed to be an object related to the music B (special BGM).

As described above, the link image in the present embodiment is an object different from the hold display and the active display, and the expectation of a big hit is high after the development of super reach (for example, the execution period of the battle effect). It is an object different from the object displayed in the center area of the screen as a suggestive effect (for example, a cut-in image showing characters such as "CHANGE" and "super heat").

The specific sound effect may be reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the timing when the link image changes from the reduced mode to the enlarged mode. That is, the specific sound effect corresponding to the change in the mode of the link image may be reproduced and output. According to such a configuration, the link image can be visually emphasized by changing the link image from the reduced mode to the enlarged mode, and the change in the mode of the link image can be audibly emphasized, suggesting development. It is possible to improve the interest of the specific suggestion production (first production) in the production.

The range of the specific sound effect output from the speakers 8L and 8R is changed at the timing when the link image changes from the reduced mode to the enlarged mode and when the link image changes from the enlarged mode to the reduced mode. You may. For example, when the link image is in the reduced mode, the high-frequency specific sound effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and when the link image is in the enlarged mode, the low-frequency specific sound effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. It is possible to impress the player with the change in the mode.

Further, when a later-described effect image (for example, a first effect image, a second effect image, and a third effect image) related to the link image is displayed, the above-mentioned specific sound effect is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. You may let it. That is, apart from the effect sound effects (sound effect A, sound effect B) that are reproduced and output when the effect image is displayed, even if the specific sound effect is reproduced and output when the effect image is displayed. Good. As a result, the player can be impressed with the relationship between the link image and the effect image. For example, during the period when the effect sound effect (for example, sound effect B) is being reproduced and output, the specific sound effect is reproduced and output at the timing when the effect image is switched (for example, the timing when the second effect image is switched to the third effect image). It may be done.

As will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, the display pattern of the link image can be determined based on the determination result at the time of starting winning. When the display pattern of the link image is determined to be a display pattern in which link images of multiple types (display colors) are displayed (for example, a display pattern of "blue → green → red"), the display of the link image is started. The mode (display color) of the link image is changed at a predetermined timing (the blue link image is changed to the green link image, and the green link image is changed to the red link image). The predetermined timing is, for example, the timing when the variation display before the variation display corresponding to the start prize is started after the start prize (the timing when the hold memory is digested and the hold display is shifted), or the link image. The timing (size) changes from the enlarged mode to the reduced mode, but other timings may be used.

(Special mode)
In the present embodiment, when the first effect in the development suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to shift to the special mode as the effect mode. The special mode is a special background image that shows the scenery of the volcano including the night sky, mountains, eruption, and the characters "XX mode" as the background image of the decorative pattern at the timing when the first production in the development suggestion production is started. Is displayed. Further, in the present embodiment, when the development suggestion effect is not executed, the effect mode is set to the normal mode. In the normal mode, a normal background image showing a sunny landscape including the sky and mountains is displayed as a background image of a decorative pattern. Shifting to the special mode corresponds to changing the background image from the normal background image to the special background image.

Specifically, the background image changes from the normal background image to the special background image at the timing of shifting to the special mode as the effect mode, and the first period (in this example) of the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R. , A melody) is reproduced and output, and the link image is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5, so that the player can easily recognize that the development suggestion effect has been started, and the development suggestion effect can be produced. It can enhance the interest.

It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the display effect image.

[Example of production when the development suggestion production is started as a look-ahead suggestion production]
(Example of the first production in the development suggestion production)
As shown in FIG. 8-7 (1), when the CPU 103 is executing the variable display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 decorates the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. The variation display of the symbol is executed, and the variation display of the small symbol is executed in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5.

At this time, the active display 22TM003 in the normal mode corresponding to the variable display currently being executed is displayed in the active display area 22TM013, and a new start prize is generated and the first reserved storage number is 2. Based on this, it is assumed that two hold display 22TM001 in the normal mode are displayed in the hold display area 22TM011 of the image display device 5.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect mode to the normal mode, and reproduces and outputs the music A (normal BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratio of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (usually BGM) to "1 (100%)".

As described above, in the present embodiment, the game effect lamp 9 for the game effect is provided. The game effect lamp 9 is configured to include an LED. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1), the effect control CPU 120 executes the lighting effect and lights the game effect lamp 9.

In the present embodiment, as an effect using the game effect lamp 9, a lighting effect of lighting the game effect lamp 9 and a blinking effect of blinking the game effect lamp 9 can be executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-1), when the CPU 103 starts the variation display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command. Then, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5, and the variable display of the small symbol is started in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5. Let me.

Here, the effect control CPU 120 causes the active display area 22TM013 to display the active display 22TM003 in the normal mode and is displayed in the hold display area 22TM011 as the first reserved storage number becomes 1. The hold display 22TM001 of is shifted by one to the active display area 22TM013 side.

As shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-1), the effect control CPU 120 executes the first effect in the development suggestion effect as the look-ahead suggestion effect, and the blue link image (book) is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5. In the example, the blue link image 22TM300a) in the reduced mode is displayed.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-1), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratios of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) that was being reproduced and output. By executing the process of gradually reducing the output volume from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)", the process of gradually reducing the output volume to "0" is executed, and the music A (normal BGM) is executed. ) Fade out and set the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" to "1 (100%)" so that the first period (in this example, the special BGM) of the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R A melody) is played back and output.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-1), the effect control CPU 120 shifts the effect mode to the special mode and displays the special background image 22TM200B as the background image. Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes a lighting effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 lit.

Although not shown in this production example, it is assumed that during the period in which the link image is displayed, the reduced mode and the enlarged mode are alternately and repeatedly displayed as the mode (size) of the link image (FIG. 8-12). reference).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-2), the effect control CPU 120 has a blue link image in the lower right region of the screen of the image display device 5 at a timing when the mode (display color) of the link image should be changed. Is deleted, and a green link image (in this example, a green link image 22TM300b in a reduced mode) is displayed. Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes a lighting effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 lit.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-3), at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variation display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 determines the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. In, the combination of decorative symbols (“243” in this example) is fixedly stopped, and the combination of small symbols (“243” in this example) in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5). Is fixedly stopped. That is, the combination of decorative symbols whose display result is "off" is fixedly stopped. Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes a lighting effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 lit.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-4), when the CPU 103 starts the variation display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command. Then, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5, and the variable display of the small symbol is started in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5. Let me.

Here, the effect control CPU 120 causes the active display area 22TM013 to display the active display 22TM003 in the normal mode as the first reserved storage number becomes 0, and the normal mode displayed in the hold display area 22TM011. The hold display 22TM001 of is deleted.

As shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-4), the effect control CPU 120 executes the first effect in the development suggestion effect as the effect suggestion effect during fluctuation, and the green link image (green link image) is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5. In this example, the green link image 22TM300b) in the reduced mode is continuously displayed.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-4), the effect control CPU 120 continuously displays the special background image 22TM200B as the background image, and the speakers 8L and 8R to the music B (special BGM). The first period (A melody in this example) is continuously reproduced and output. Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes a lighting effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 lit.

(Example of the second production in the development suggestion production)
Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-1), the effect control CPU 120 finishes the first effect in the development suggestion effect at the timing when the second effect in the development suggestion effect should be started, and the image display device. The green link image (in this example, the green link image 22TM300b in the reduced mode) is deleted from the lower right area of the screen of 5, the second effect in the development suggestion effect is executed, and the link image displayed in the area until immediately before is executed. The first effect image (in this example, the smallest size green first effect image 22TM310b) related to the aspect (display color) is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5. The first effect image will be described in detail later.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-1), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratios of "CH4" and "CH5" corresponding to the music B (special BGM) that was being reproduced and output. By executing the process of gradually reducing the output volume from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)", the process of gradually reducing the output volume to "0" is executed, and the music B (special BGM) is executed. ) Fade out, and the channel setting ratio of "CH6" corresponding to sound effect A (second effect: previous stage sound effect) is gradually increased from "0 (0%)" to "1 (100%)". By executing the process, the output volume is gradually increased to "12", and the sound effect A (second effect: previous stage sound effect) is faded in from the speakers 8L and 8R. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-1), the effect control CPU 120 executes the blinking effect and blinks the game effect lamp 9.

The first effect image is an effect image composed of an annular portion (single layer) of a quarter circle centered on the lower right corner of the screen of the image display device 5 and a white central portion. The first effect image has a plurality of types (display colors), that is, a blue first effect image which is a blue effect color, a green first effect image which is a green effect color, and a red effect color. There is a red first effect image. In the present embodiment, when the display of the first effect image is started, the smallest size first effect image (see FIG. 8-8 (2-1)) is changed to the maximum size first effect image (FIG. 8-8 (FIG. 8-8 (2-1)). It is gradually enlarged and displayed up to 2-2)). As the first effect image is gradually enlarged and displayed (the visibility of the first effect image is gradually improved), the visibility of the background image is gradually reduced.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-2), the effect control CPU 120 displays the first effect image (in this example, the maximum size green first effect image 22TM310B) enlarged to the maximum size. It is displayed on the entire screen of 5. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the blinking effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 blinking.

The maximum size first effect image (in this example, the green first effect image 22TM310B) has a higher priority than the background image (the display layer is higher than the background image and is superimposed so that it can be seen by the player. It is displayed on the entire screen in the above-mentioned manner. From the player's point of view, after the display of the smallest size first effect image (in this example, the green first effect image 22TM310b) is started, the display mode has a higher priority than the background image (the display layer is higher). (It seems that it is displayed in front of the images related to other effects.) Since the first effect image is gradually enlarged and displayed until it reaches the maximum size, the first effect image is displayed. You will be attracted to the screen changes when you do.

When the first effect image reaches the maximum size (size that covers the entire screen), the background image (special background image) cannot be visually recognized, and the characters of "XX mode" corresponding to the special mode must also be visually recognized. Is in a state where it cannot be done. When the first effect image reaches the maximum size (size that covers the entire screen), the background image becomes difficult to see, but the decorative design, the active display 22TM003 in the normal mode, and the small design are in a visible state. There is up to. That is, while the visibility of the special background image 22TM200B displayed as the background image is reduced, the decorative symbol that is variablely displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, and the normal mode displayed in the active display area 22TM013. The visibility of the active display 22TM003 and the small symbols that are variablely displayed in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r is not deteriorated.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-3), the effect control CPU 120 erases the maximum size green first effect image 22TM310B from the entire screen of the image display device 5, and displays the display screen of the image display device 5. By displaying the whiteout image 22TM400W as a covering image covering the entire area of the above, a whiteout effect is executed in which the visibility of the background image and the decorative pattern is lowered to make it difficult to see. That is, by executing the whiteout effect, the background image becomes difficult to see, and the decorative pattern also becomes difficult to see.

Here, due to the whiteout effect, the background image and the decorative design become difficult to see, but the active display 22TM003 and the small design in the normal mode remain visible. That is, the visibility of the special background image 22TM200B displayed as the background image and the decorative symbol that was variablely displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is reduced, while being displayed in the active display area 22TM013. The visibility of the active display 22TM003 in the normal mode and the small symbols that are variablely displayed in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r is not deteriorated.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-3), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel of "CH6" corresponding to the sound effect A (second effect: previous stage sound effect) that was being reproduced and output. By executing the process of gradually reducing the ratio from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)", the process of gradually reducing the output volume to "0" is executed, and the sound effect A (2nd production: first stage sound effect) fades out. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 ends the blinking effect and turns off the game effect lamp 9.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-4), the effect control CPU 120 erases the whiteout image 22TM400W from the entire screen of the image display device 5, and covers the entire display screen of the image display device 5. By displaying the blackout image 22TM400B as an image, a blackout effect is executed in which the visibility of the background image and the decorative pattern is lowered to make it difficult to see. That is, by executing the blackout effect, the hard-to-see state of the background image is continued, and the hard-to-see state of the decorative pattern is also continued.

Here, due to the blackout effect, the background image and the decorative symbol are continuously in a visually difficult state, but the active display 22TM003 and the small symbol in the normal mode are still in a visible state. That is, the visibility of the special background image 22TM200B displayed as the background image and the decorative symbol that was variablely displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is reduced, while being displayed in the active display area 22TM013. The visibility of the active display 22TM003 in the normal mode and the small symbols that are variablely displayed in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r is not deteriorated.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-4), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratio of “CH7” corresponding to the sound effect B (second effect: subsequent sound effect) to “0 (0)”. By executing the process of gradually increasing from "%)" to "1 (100%)", the process of gradually increasing the output volume to "12" is executed, and the sound effect B (from the speakers 8L and 8R) The second production: the latter stage sound effect) is faded in. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 keeps the game effect lamp 9 off.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-5), the effect control CPU 120 continuously executes the blackout effect, and the blackout image 22TM400B is displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5. The second effect image (in this example, the smallest size green second effect) related to the mode (display color) of the first effect image that was displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5 before the whiteout effect was executed. Image 22TM320b) is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5. The second effect image will be described in detail later. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the blinking effect and blinks the game effect lamp 9.

The second effect image is a first effect image composed of a circular ring portion (multiple layers) centered on the lower right corner of the screen of the image display device 5, a white center portion, and a radiation portion. Is an effect image with a different shape. The second effect image has a plurality of types (display colors), that is, a blue second effect image which is a blue effect color, a green second effect image which is a green effect color, and a red effect color. There is a red second effect image. In the present embodiment, when the display of the second effect image is started, the smallest size second effect image (see FIG. 8-8 (2-5)) is changed to the largest size second effect image (FIG. 8-8 (FIG. 8-8 (2-5)). It is gradually enlarged and displayed up to 2-6)).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-6), the effect control CPU 120 displays a second effect image (in this example, the maximum size green second effect image 22TM320B) enlarged to the maximum size. It is displayed on the entire screen of 5. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the blinking effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 blinking.

The maximum size second effect image (in this example, the green first effect image 22TM310B) has a higher priority than the blackout image (the display layer is higher than the blackout image so that it can be seen by the player. It is displayed on the entire screen in the superimposed display mode). From the player's point of view, after the display of the minimum size second effect image (green second effect image 22TM320b in this example) is started, the display mode has a higher priority than the blackout image (the display layer is higher). (It seems that it is displayed in front of the images related to other effects.) Since the second effect image is gradually enlarged and displayed until it reaches the maximum size, the second effect image is displayed. You will be attracted to the screen change when it is done.

When the second effect image is displayed, the special background image and the decorative symbol are continuously difficult to see regardless of the size of the second effect image, and the active display 22TM003 and the small symbol are continuously displayed. It is in a visible state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-7), the effect control CPU 120 finishes the blackout effect, and the mode of the second effect image displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5 until just before (2-7). The screen of the image display device 5 is a third effect image (in this example, a green third effect image 22TM330b in which green crystals (green bar-shaped crystals) are arranged in an annular shape (arrangement mode)) related to the display color). Display in the whole. The third effect image will be described in detail later. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the blinking effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 blinking.

The third effect image is composed of a circular effect portion centered on the center of the screen of the image display device 5 and a radial white portion, and has a different shape from the first effect image and the second effect image. This is an effect image. The third effect image contains information (bar-shaped crystal) related to the link image. The third effect image has a plurality of types (display colors), that is, a blue third effect image which is a blue effect color, a green third effect image which is a green effect color, and a red effect color. There is a red third effect image.

In the present embodiment, when the display of the third effect image is started, first, the third effect image in a mode in which rod-shaped crystals are arranged in an annular shape (hereinafter referred to as an arrangement mode) (FIG. 8-8 (2-7)). See) is displayed. After that, the aligned rod-shaped crystals were broken and changed into large particles, and the large granular crystals were diffused from the center side of the screen to the outside (hereinafter, diffusion mode), and the third effect image (FIG. 8-8). (See (2-8)) will be displayed. In this way, when the third effect image changes from the alignment mode to the diffusion mode, the shape of the crystal changes, and the crystal (which has become large particles) after the shape change gradually moves from the center side of the screen to the outside. Spread to.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-8), the effect control CPU 120 captures a third effect image in which large granular crystals are diffused (in this example, a green third effect image 22TM330B in a diffused mode). It is displayed on the entire screen of the display device 5.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-8), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel of "CH7" corresponding to the sound effect B (second effect: post-stage sound effect) that was being reproduced and output. By executing the process of gradually reducing the ratio from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)", the process of gradually reducing the output volume to "0" is executed, and the speaker 8L, The sound effect B (second effect: latter stage sound effect) is faded out from 8R. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the lighting effect and lights the game effect lamp 9.

(Example of the third production [first half] in the development suggestion production)
Next, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (3-1), the effect control CPU 120 ends the second effect in the development suggestion effect at the timing when the third effect [first half] in the development suggestion effect should be started. , The third effect image (in this example, the green third effect image 22TM330B in the diffusion mode) is erased from the entire screen of the image display device 5, and the third effect [first half] in the development suggestion effect is executed. In the third effect [first half], the fourth effect image (in this example, the diffused green size) related to the mode (display color) of the third effect image that was displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5 until just before. The green fourth effect image 22TM340B) in which granular crystals are attached along the inner frame of the screen is displayed, and the special ally character 22TM500 is displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5. The fourth effect image will be described in detail later.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (3-1), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel of "CH7" corresponding to the sound effect B (second effect: post-stage sound effect) that was being reproduced and output. By executing the process of setting the ratio to "0 (0%)", the reproduction output of the sound effect B (second effect: latter stage sound effect) is terminated from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the music B (special BGM) is displayed. The output volume is gradually increased by executing the process of gradually increasing the channel setting ratio of the corresponding "CH4" and "CH5" from "0 (0%)" to "1 (100%)". 9 ”is executed, and the second period (for example, B melody and chorus) of the music B (special BGM) is faded in from the speakers 8L and 8R. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the lighting effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 lit.

In the fourth effect image, the rod-shaped crystal shown in the link image is broken and changed into a large-grained crystal, and then the large-grained crystal is arranged in a frame shape along the inner frame of the screen of the image display device 5. It is an image of the above aspect. In the fourth effect image, a production effect that looks like a frame of the screen is formed by large-grained crystals is generated, and by displaying the special ally character 22TM500 in the frame, the appearance of the special ally character 22TM500 can be seen. Can be emphasized. In this respect, the fourth effect image is an effect image having a different shape from any of the first effect image, the second effect image, and the third effect image.

The fourth effect image is an aspect (display color) related to the third effect image. In the present embodiment, the large-grained crystals arranged in a frame shape in the fourth effect image have the shape and display color of the large-grained crystal (diffused crystal) displayed in the third effect image in the diffusion mode. Has taken over. The fourth effect image has a plurality of types (display colors), that is, a blue fourth effect image which is a blue effect color, a green fourth effect image which is a green effect color, and a red effect color. There is a red fourth effect image.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (3-2), the effect control CPU 120 displays the fourth effect image (in this example, the green fourth effect image 22TM340B) and the special ally character from the screen of the image display device 5. The 22TM500 is erased (or the grayout image 22TM400C makes it difficult to see), and the grayout image 22TM400C as a covering image covering the entire display screen of the image display device 5 and the flame effect image (small) in the center area of the screen of the image display device 5. ) 22TM600 is displayed, and the movable body movement effect of operating the movable body 22TM100 from the tilted position to the standing position is executed. The mode of the movable body 22TM100 at this time is a vibration mode. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the lighting effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 lit.

The flame effect image (small) 22TM600 is an image having a higher display priority than the grayout image 22TM400C (the display layer is higher and appears to be displayed in the foreground when viewed from the player), and the movable body 22TM100 is Since it is in front of the image display device 5 when viewed from the player, it has a higher display priority than the flame effect image (small) 22TM600 and the grayout image 22TM400C (the display layer is higher and is displayed in front of the player. Looks like it is). Therefore, from the front to the back, it seems to the player that the movable body 22TM100, the flame effect image (small) 22TM600, and the grayout image 22TM400C are displayed in this order.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (3-3), the effect control CPU 120 sets the mode of the movable body 22TM100 as a non-vibration mode, and sets the second mode of the music B (special BGM) that was being reproduced and output. The second period from the speakers 8L and 8R by executing the process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" corresponding to the period (B melody and chorus in this example) to "0 (0%)". (In this example, B melody and chorus) are terminated. Therefore, this period is a period in which the movable body 22TM100 does not operate and no sound is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the lighting effect and keeps the game effect lamp 9 lit.

From this state, FIGS. 8-10 (3-4A) to correspond to the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect of the success mode or the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect of the failure mode. (3-6A) or any of the states shown in FIGS. 8-10 (3-4B) and (3-5B). In the following, the third production [second half] in the development suggestion production of the success mode is the third production [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion production, and the third production [second half] in the development suggestion production of the failure mode is development suggestion.

(Example of the third production [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion production)
As shown in FIG. 8-10 (3-4B), the effect control CPU 120 executes the third effect [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion effect, and covers the entire display screen of the image display device 5. The blackout image 22TM400B is displayed as an image, and the special ally character 22TM500 (in this example, the special ally character in a collapsed manner) is displayed in the central area of the screen of the image display device 5. The special ally character 22TM500 is an image having a higher display priority than the blackout image 22TM400B (the display layer is higher and appears to be displayed in the foreground when viewed from the player). At this time, the effect control CPU 120 finishes the movable body operation effect and operates the movable body 22TM100 from the standing position to the tilted position.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (3-4B), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratio of “CH9” corresponding to the sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) to “1 (100). By executing the process of "%)", the process of setting the output volume to "12" is executed, and the sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 ends the lighting effect and turns off the game effect lamp 9.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (3-5B), at the timing when the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect should be ended, the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect is ended, and the image. The blackout image 22TM400B and the special ally character 22TM500 are erased from the display device 5, the normal background image 22TM200A is displayed on the image display device 5 as a background image, and in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. The combination of decorative patterns (for example, "243") is stopped and displayed. At this time, although the combination of decorative symbols is stopped and displayed, it has not been confirmed and stopped, and the variation display of the small symbols is continued in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r. Then, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the symbol determination stop command indicating that the variation display of the special symbol has ended, the decorative symbol that becomes the display result in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5 (For example, "243") is fixedly stopped, and the combination of small symbols (for example, "243") that is the display result is fixedly stopped in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (3-5B), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratio of “CH9” corresponding to the sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) to “0 (0)”. By executing the process of "%)", the process of setting the output volume to "0" is executed, and the reproduction output of the sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) is terminated from the speakers 8L and 8R.

[Example of production when the development suggestion production is started as a suggestion production during fluctuation]
In the present embodiment, (i) a case where it is decided to execute the development suggestion effect based on the determination result at the time of starting winning when the number of reserved memories is 0, and (ii) the number of reserved memories is as described later. It is 1 or more, and the fluctuation pattern of the reserved storage information is not "[No pseudo-continuous production], [Non-reach]", but the fluctuation pattern of the running fluctuation display is "[No pseudo-continuous production], [Non-reach]". When it is decided to execute the development suggestion effect based on the judgment result at the time of starting winning when it is not (see NO → step S22TM1040 in step S22TM1020 in FIG. 8-13), the development suggestion effect is the changing suggestion effect. Is started as.

(Example of the first production in the development suggestion production)
FIG. 8-11 (1-1) shows an example of an effect image displayed on the image display device 5 when the first effect (failure mode or success mode) in the development suggestion effect is started as the suggestion effect during fluctuation. It is explanatory drawing which shows. In this example, it is assumed that the display pattern of the link image is determined to be "green". Further, in this example, it is assumed that the volume value is set to the value of "3" by the player performing a predetermined operation (for example, pressing the left and right buttons of the effect key provided on the pachinko gaming machine 1). To do.

As shown in FIG. 8-11 (1-1), when the CPU 103 starts the variation display of the first special symbol based on the new start winning, the effect control CPU 120 has a variation pattern. Based on the variation pattern specified by the designated command, the variation display of the decorative symbol is started in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5, and the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c of the image display device 5 are started. At 5r, the variable display of the small symbol is started. Here, the effect control CPU 120 causes the active display area 22TM013 to display the active display 22TM003 in the normal mode.

As shown in FIG. 8-11 (1-1), the effect control CPU 120 executes the first effect in the development suggestion effect as the effect suggestion effect during fluctuation, and the green link image (green link image) is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5. In this example, the green link image 22TM300b) in the reduced mode is displayed.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (1-1), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratios of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) that was being reproduced and output. By executing the process of gradually reducing the output volume from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)", the process of gradually reducing the output volume to "0" is executed, and the music A (normal BGM) is executed. ) Fade out and set the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" to "1 (100%)" so that the first period (in this example, the special BGM) of the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R A melody) is played back and output.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 continues the normal mode without shifting the effect mode to the special mode, and keeps displaying the normal background image 22TM200A as the background image.

In this way, when the development suggestion effect is started as the look-ahead suggestion effect, the background image is changed to a special background image different from the normal background image by shifting the effect mode to the special mode. On the other hand, when the development suggestion effect is started as the suggestion effect during fluctuation, the background image is continued as the normal background image by not shifting the effect mode to the special mode.

From this state, the second and third effects in the development suggestion effect are executed. The description of the second effect and the third effect in the development suggestion effect is the same as that shown in the above-mentioned explanations of FIGS. 8-8 to 8-10, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

(Pseudo-continuous production)
In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the pseudo continuous effect based on the variation pattern [first half portion] determined by the determination at the start of the variation by the CPU 103. The pseudo-ream effect is a temporary stop of a decorative symbol (a number symbol or a pseudo-ream symbol that suggests that the pseudo-ream effect is executed (the decorative symbol revariates)), and then the decorative symbol is re-started. This is an example of a notice effect that makes one variable display look like a plurality of variable displays in a pseudo manner by displaying the variable display.

The pseudo continuous effect may be executed before the establishment of the reach state, or may be executed after the establishment of the reach state. In the present embodiment, the pseudo continuous effect is executed before the reach state is established. In the pseudo-continuous production, for example, the numerical symbols are temporarily stopped in the symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the pseudo-continuous symbols are temporarily stopped in the symbol display area 5C, and then in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, respectively. The decorative pattern may be changed again.

In addition, in this embodiment, an example in which one pseudo-continuous production can be executed in one variation display is shown, but the present invention is not limited to such a mode, and two or more pseudo-continuous effects are shown in one variation display. May be executed.

(Change production)
In the present embodiment, the change effect can be executed based on the determination result at the time of starting winning. The change effect is a special mode (in this example, a white circle display in this example) in which the hold display 22TM001 or the active display 22TM003 corresponding to the variable display that is the judgment target at the time of starting winning is displayed. , White triangle display), blue mode (blue circle display in this example), or red mode (red circle display in this example).

Specifically, among the change effects, the hold change effect that displays the display mode of 22TM001 of the hold display in a display mode different from the normal mode (a display mode of any of a special mode, a blue mode, and a red mode) is used. It is a look-ahead notice effect that suggests the display result of the variable display that has not been executed (the variable display that satisfies the start condition but does not satisfy the start condition). Further, among the change effects, an active change effect for displaying the display mode of the active display 22TM003 in a display mode different from the normal mode (a display mode of any of a special mode, a blue mode, and a red mode) is executed. It is a notice effect during fluctuation that suggests the display result of the fluctuation display (variation display in which the start condition is satisfied). The timing at which the change effect is executed and the change pattern of the hold display will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22, which will be described later.

(Flash production at the time of winning)
In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the flash effect at the time of winning based on the determination result at the time of starting winning. The winning flash effect is an example of a preliminary announcement effect in which the light emitter 22TM150 emits light at the timing when it is decided to execute the winning flash effect at the time of starting winning.

Specifically, the flash effect at the time of winning is a variable display corresponding to the starting winning (starting condition is satisfied) by causing the light emitter 22TM150 to emit light at the timing of the starting winning based on the judgment result at the time of starting winning. However, it may suggest that the display result of (variable display) for which the start condition is not satisfied is a big hit. The flash effect at the time of winning in this case is executed as a look-ahead notice effect.

Further, the flash effect at the time of winning is executed by causing the light emitter 22TM150 to emit light at the timing when the variation display corresponding to the start winning (variation display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning) is started after the start winning. It may be executed as a notice effect during fluctuation that suggests the display result of the fluctuation display (variation display in which the start condition is satisfied).

In the present embodiment, when the flash effect at the time of winning is started based on the determination result at the time of the start winning, the flash effect at the time of winning is the variable display corresponding to the start winning (the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning). ) Shall be continuously executed until a predetermined timing (in this example, the timing of developing into super reach).

Further, in the present embodiment, at the start of the flash effect at the time of winning, the sound effect (special winning sound corresponding to "CH11") for notifying the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is reproduced and output using the speakers 8L and 8R. Perform sound effects.

In the present embodiment, as an effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning, there are a plurality of effect modes in which the emission color of the light emitting body 22TM150 is different. When it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning in the start winning effect determination process, the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is one of the "white light emitting mode" and the "red light emitting mode". Will be decided.

The effect control CPU 120 blinks the light emitting body 22TM150 in white at the timing of the start winning in the flash effect at the time of winning in the white light emitting mode. Then, from the timing of the start winning to the timing of the super reach development in the variation display corresponding to the start winning (the variation display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning), the light emitter 22TM150 is continuously controlled to blink in white. To do. Further, in the winning flash effect in the white light emitting mode, a special winning sound is reproduced and output once as a sound effect for notifying the execution of the winning flash effect using the speakers 8L and 8R at the start of the winning flash effect. It shall be.

The effect control CPU 120 blinks the light emitting body 22TM150 in red at the timing of the start winning in the flash effect at the time of winning in the red light emitting mode. Then, from the timing of the start winning to the timing of the super reach development in the variation display corresponding to the start winning (the variation display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning), the light emitter 22TM150 is continuously controlled to blink in red. To do. Further, in the winning flash effect in the red light emitting mode, a special winning sound is reproduced and output once as a sound effect for notifying the execution of the winning flash effect using the speakers 8L and 8R at the start of the winning flash effect. It shall be.

As described above, the emission color of the light emitting body 22TM150 is different between the winning flash effect in the white light emitting mode and the winning flash effect in the red light emitting mode (white in the white light emitting mode and red in the red light emitting mode). In the present embodiment, the blinking interval of the light emitting body 22TM150 (the ON / OFF interval of the light emission of the light emitting body 22TM150) is common between the winning flash effect of the white light emitting mode and the winning flash effect of the red light emitting mode. However, the flashing interval of the light emitting body 22TM150 may be different between the winning flash effect of the white light emitting mode and the winning flash effect of the red light emitting mode, and the flashing of the white light emitting mode is different. The blinking interval may be shorter (the light emission cycle is shorter) in the winning flash effect in the red light emission mode than in the effect.

In the present embodiment, the winning sound effect is output only once at the timing when the flash effect at the time of winning is started (the timing of starting winning), but the present invention is not limited to such a form, and at the time of winning. The winning sound effect is output not only at the timing when the flash effect is started but also at a predetermined timing during the period when the flash effect is executed at the time of winning (for example, the timing when the variable display including the variable display of the target is started). You may do so. It should be noted that an example is shown in which a common special winning sound is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R as a winning sound effect in the winning flash effect in the white light emitting mode and the winning flash effect in the red light emitting mode. Not limited to the form, different winning sound effects may be reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R depending on the winning flash effect in the white light emitting mode and the winning flash effect in the red light emitting mode.

(Chance eye production)
In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the chance eye effect based on the determination result at the time of starting winning. The chance-eye effect is a kind of pre-reading suggestion effect and variable suggestion effect that suggests that the pseudo-continuous effect is executed in the variable display that is the target of advance notice.

In the present embodiment, when it is decided to execute the chance eye effect at the time of the start winning in the state where the number of reserved memories is 1 or more, it is decided to (i) execute the chance eye effect at the time of the start winning. From the next fluctuation display of the fluctuation display to (ii) the fluctuation display immediately before the fluctuation display that is the target of the advance notice of the chance eye effect, the stop display is displayed in each of the fluctuation displays of (i) to (ii). By setting the combination of decorative symbols to be made to be a combination of forward orders (for example, "123", "456", etc.) or a combination of reverse orders (for example, "321", "654", etc.), the starting prize is awarded. The pseudo-continuous effect is executed in the variable display corresponding to (variable display in which the start condition is satisfied but the start condition is not satisfied) (the variation pattern [first half] is "with pseudo-continuous effect"). As a suggestion look-ahead suggestion effect, a chance eye effect is executed.

Further, when it is decided to execute the chance eye effect at the time of starting winning while the number of reserved memories is 0, (iii) the variable display which is the target of the advance notice of the chance eye effect is described above. Variables executed based on the start winning prize by temporarily stopping the combination of the decorative symbols of the forward or reverse stitches and then displaying the decorative symbols again in a variable manner (that is, performing an operation similar to the pseudo-continuous production). As a suggestion effect during fluctuation that suggests that the pseudo-continuous effect is executed in the display (variable display in which the start condition is satisfied) (the fluctuation pattern [first half] is "with pseudo-continuous effect"), the chance eye effect is used. Will be executed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as the effect mode of the chance eye effect, there are a plurality of effect modes in which the combination of the decorative symbols to be stopped and displayed (including the temporary stop) is different. When it is decided to execute the chance eye effect in the start winning effect determination process, the effect mode of the chance eye effect is determined to be one of the "forward order mode" and the "reverse eye mode". (See Figure 8-26).

In the variable display after the variable display in which the chance eye effect of the forward mode is executed, the chance eye effect of the reverse mode may be executed. In this case, the degree of expectation that the pseudo continuous effect is executed may be higher than that in the case where the chance eye effect of the reverse order mode is executed without executing the chance eye effect of the forward mode.

(Voice notice production)
In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the voice notice effect based on the determination result at the start of the fluctuation. The voice notice effect is a playback output of the character's dialogue (hereinafter referred to as "character voice sound") from the speakers 8L and 8R at a predetermined timing during the fluctuation display (for example, the timing when 3 seconds have passed since the fluctuation started). This is an example of the advance notice production.

In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of production modes in which the character voice sound is different as the production mode of the voice notice effect. In the effect determination process at the start of fluctuation, the effect mode of the voice notice effect is determined to be one of the "low expectation mode", the "medium expectation mode", and the "high expectation mode" (FIG. 8). -28). In the low expectation mode voice notice production, the character voice sound of "chance may be" is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L, 8R, and in the medium expectation mode voice notice production, the "chance!" Character voice is played from the speakers 8L, 8R. The sound is reproduced and output, and in the voice notice production in the high expectation mode, the character voice sound of "It's intense heat !!" is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R (see FIG. 8-28).

(Common production, non-common production)
In the present embodiment, the flash effect at the time of winning and the change effect, which are advance notice effects that suggest the display result, are used as a common effect. In addition, the development suggestion effect and the chance eye effect, which are specific suggestion effects (look-ahead suggestion effect, fluctuating suggestion effect) suggesting that a predetermined advance notice effect is executed, are non-common effects.

[Production decision processing at the time of starting prize]
8-13 and 8-14 are flowcharts showing the effect determination process executed at the time of starting winning. The effect control CPU 120 executes the start winning effect determination process shown in FIGS. 8-13 and 8-14 in the pre-reading advance notice setting process (step S161) of the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7.

In the effect determination process at the time of start winning, the effect control CPU 120 first receives a set of commands at the time of start winning based on the occurrence of a start winning to the first start winning opening (for example, a symbol designation command, a variable category command, etc.). And it is confirmed whether or not the first hold storage number addition designation command) is newly received (step S22TM1000).

The symbol designation command is an effect control command that indicates whether or not a jackpot will be achieved among the winning determination results, and the determination result of the type of jackpot. The CPU 103 determines whether or not a jackpot will be achieved and the jackpot type in the case of a jackpot based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot type determination random number extracted at the time of starting winning, and a symbol for designating the determination result. Output the specified command. Further, the variation category command is an effect control command that indicates the determination result of the variation pattern among the determination results at the time of winning. The CPU 103 determines whether or not the normal reach is achieved, whether or not the super reach is achieved, and the like based on the random number for determining the variation pattern extracted at the time of winning the start, and outputs a variation category command that specifies the determination result. Further, the first hold storage number addition designation command is an effect control command for designating that the first hold storage number has been increased by 1.

The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not one set of start winning commands (symbol designation command, variable category command, and first hold storage number addition designation command) is newly stored in the start winning command storage area. judge. If a new command for starting a set of winning prizes has not been received (NO in step S22TM1000), the process ends as it is.

If a new command for starting a set of winning prizes is received (YES in step S22TM1000), whether or not the effect control CPU 120 is set with either the look-ahead prohibition flag described later or the development suggestion flag described later. Is determined (step S22TM1010). If either the read-ahead prohibition flag or the development suggestion flag is set (YES in step S22TM1010), the process ends as it is. That is, when the read-ahead prohibition flag is set (YES in step S22TM1010), the processing in step S22TM1020 or less is skipped, and when the development suggestion flag is set (YES in step S22TM1010), step S22TM1020 or less. Processing will be skipped.

When neither the read-ahead prohibition flag nor the development suggestion flag is set (NO in step S22TM1010), the effect control CPU 120 has a fluctuation pattern of the reserved storage information corresponding to the start winning prize prior to the start winning prize. Is also "[No pseudo-continuous effect], [Non-reach off]", and it is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display during execution is "[No pseudo-continuous effect], [Non-reach off]". (Step S22TM1020).

The fluctuation pattern of the reserved storage information corresponding to the start prize prior to the start prize is "[No pseudo-continuous production], [Non-reach off]", and the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display during execution is "". In the case of "[No pseudo continuous effect], [Non-reach off]" (YES in step S22TM1020), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the common effect and the non-common effect are executed, and executes the common effect and the non-common effect. The presence / absence determination table A (see FIG. 8-15) is used for determination (step S22TM1030), and the process proceeds to step S22TM1050.

(Table A for determining whether to execute common effects and non-common effects)
FIG. 8-15 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the execution / non-execution determination table A of the common effect and the non-common effect. As shown in FIG. 8-15, in this embodiment, a common effect is produced according to the determination result at the time of starting winning (variation pattern "[variation pattern [first half]], [variation pattern [second half]]"). Judgment values are assigned so that the execution ratios of the non-common effects are different.

(A1-1) When the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern at the time of starting winning is "[No pseudo-continuous production], [Non-reach off]" (that is, the fluctuation pattern specified by the variation category command is "[No pseudo-continuous production]". ], [Non-reach out] ”), it was decided that neither the common effect nor the non-common effect would be executed at a rate of 90%, and the common effect would not be executed at a rate of 10%. Decide to perform the production.

(A1-2) When the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern at the time of starting winning is "[No pseudo-continuous production], [Normal reach is off]" (that is, the fluctuation pattern specified by the variation category command is "[No pseudo-continuous production]". , [Out of normal reach] ”), it was decided that neither the common effect nor the non-common effect would be executed at a rate of 85%, and the common effect would not be executed at a rate of 12%, and the non-common effect would be performed. It is decided to execute, the common effect is executed at a rate of 2%, the non-common effect is determined not to be executed, and both the common effect and the non-common effect are executed at a rate of 1%.

(A1-3) When the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern at the time of starting winning is "[No pseudo-continuous production], [Super reach A off]" (that is, the fluctuation pattern specified by the fluctuation category command is "[Pseudo-continuous production]". None], [Super Reach A is out] ”), it was decided that neither the common effect nor the non-common effect would be executed at a rate of 76%, and the common effect was not executed at a rate of 14%.

The effect control CPU 120 determines the change pattern of the change effect based on the change pattern determination table of the change effect (see FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22) (step S22TM1100).

(Change pattern determination table for change production)
8-19 to 8-22 are explanatory views showing a specific example of a change pattern determination table for determining a change pattern of a change effect. When the first hold storage number becomes n (n: 1 to 4) due to the start winning, (i) the timing at which the nth hold display 22TM001 corresponding to the start winning is displayed in the hold display area 22TM011 ( (Timing at the time of starting prize), (ii) Timing when the hold display 22TM001 corresponding to the start prize shifts to a higher position (active display area 22TM013 side) in the hold display area 22TM011 (when n ≧ 2). , And (iii), at the timing when the hold display 22TM001 corresponding to the start winning is shifted to the active display area 22TM013 (the timing when the active display 22TM003 corresponding to the starting winning is displayed), the variable display based on the starting winning is displayed. The display information (holding display or active display) corresponding to the above may be displayed in a mode different from the normal mode depending on the change effect.

In FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22, what kind of display mode the display information (hold display 22TM001 or active display 22TM003) corresponding to the variable display is displayed at each timing of (i) to (iii) for each change pattern. Indicates whether it will be. In the change patterns shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22, "normal" indicates a normal mode in which a white round display is displayed, and "special" indicates a special mode in which a white triangular display is displayed. "Blue" indicates a blue aspect which is a blue round display, and "red" indicates a red aspect which is a red round display.

([For 1 hold] Change pattern determination table for change effect)
When the first hold storage number stored in the first hold storage number storage area is "1", the effect control CPU 120 has a change pattern of the [for one hold] change effect shown in FIG. 8-19. Select a decision table.

In the description of FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22, the active shift means that the hold display 22TM001 shifts from the hold display area 22TM011 to the active display area 22TM013 (as a result, it becomes a determination target at the time of starting winning. The active display 22TM003 corresponding to the variable display is displayed).

When the determined final display mode is a special mode, the change pattern 101, the change pattern 102, and so on, depending on the judgment result at the time of starting winning (the display result specified by the symbol designation command, which is a loss or a big hit), A determination value is assigned to each of the change patterns 103. The change pattern 102 is a change pattern in which the hold display of the notice target is displayed in the normal mode at the time of the start winning, and then the hold display of the notice target is changed to the special mode at the timing of the active shift. The change pattern 103 is the change pattern 103 at the time of the start prize. This is a change pattern in which the hold display of the notice target is displayed in a special mode and then the hold display of the notice target is not changed in the special mode at the timing of the active shift.

The change pattern 406 is determined at a rate of 2%, the change pattern 407 is determined at a rate of 2%, the change pattern 408 is determined at a rate of 2%, and the change pattern 409 is determined at a rate of 2%. The determination value is assigned so that the change pattern 410 is determined at a rate of 2%.

Regarding the case where the determined final display mode is the red mode, when the judgment result at the time of starting winning is "big hit" (the display result specified by the symbol designation command is "big hit"), the change pattern 401 is 10%. The change pattern 402 is determined at a rate of 10%, the change pattern 403 is determined at a rate of 10%, the change pattern 404 is determined at a rate of 15%, and the change pattern 405 is determined at a rate of 15%. The change pattern 406 is determined at a rate of 8%, the change pattern 407 is determined at a rate of 8%, the change pattern 408 is determined at a rate of 8%, and the change pattern 409 is determined at a rate of 8%. The determination value is assigned so that the change pattern 410 is determined at a rate of 8%.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22, the hold display corresponding to the variable display that is the judgment target at the time of starting winning can be changed from the normal mode to the special mode or the blue mode. It is possible to change from a special aspect to a red aspect. Further, the hold display corresponding to the variable display that is the determination target at the time of starting winning does not change from the blue mode to any mode, and does not change from the red mode to any mode. Therefore, the special mode as the mode of the hold display is a mode suggesting that the mode changes to the red mode, and the hold display is displayed in the special mode as compared with the case where the hold display is displayed in the normal mode. Is higher in the rate of change to the red mode.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22, the change pattern of the change effect is determined according to the determination result (display result specified by the symbol designation command) at the time of starting winning. An example in which values are assigned is shown, but not limited to such a form, the judgment result at the time of starting prize (by the fluctuation category command) based on the fact that the display result can be judged from the fluctuation pattern [second half]. A determination value may be assigned to the change pattern of the change effect according to the designated fluctuation pattern [second half]).

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-22, the change pattern in which the hold display changes from blue to red is not provided, but the hold display is not limited to such a form. A change pattern that changes from blue to red may be provided. For example, when the number of reserved memories becomes 3 based on the start winning, the hold display corresponding to the start prize is displayed in the normal mode (or a special mode), and the hold display is usually displayed at the first hold shift. A pattern may be provided in which the mode (or special mode) changes to blue and the hold display changes from blue to red at the second hold shift. When the hold display changes from blue to red late (for example, during the second hold shift), the hold display changes from blue to red early (for example, during the first hold shift). The jackpot expectation may be higher than in the case of). On the contrary, when the hold display changes from blue to red at an early timing (for example, at the time of the first hold shift), the hold display changes from blue to red at a late timing (for example). The jackpot expectation may be higher than in the case of the second hold shift).

The effect control CPU 120 sets the first look-ahead counter (step S22TM1110), sets the look-ahead prohibition flag (step S22TM1120), and determines whether or not it is determined to execute the flash effect at the time of winning (step S22TM1130). ).

The value corresponding to the first hold storage number updated based on the start winning (value specified by the first hold storage number designation command) is set in the first look-ahead counter, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is displayed. Each time it is executed (every time the first hold storage number subtraction designation command is received), the value of the first look-ahead counter is decremented by one. That is, the value of the first look-ahead counter is subtracted each time the hold display 22TM001 corresponding to the hold memory that is the determination target at the time of starting winning is shifted. Then, when the value of the first look-ahead counter becomes 0, the targeted variation display is executed.

During the period when the look-ahead prohibition flag is set, even if a new start prize is generated, it corresponds to the new start prize (new first hold memory) by determining YES in step S22TM1010 described above. No change effect is performed. The look-ahead prohibition flag is cleared when the variation display (so-called target variation) that is the target of the change effect ends. As will be described in detail later, the look-ahead prohibition flag is set even when it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning or when it is decided to execute the chance eye effect, so the look-ahead prohibition is prohibited. During the period when the flag is set, even if a new start prize is generated, it is determined to be YES in step S22TM1010 described above, so that the new start prize (new first hold memory) corresponds to the prize. Flash effect and chance eye effect are not executed.

If it is decided not to execute the flash effect at the time of winning (NO in step S22TM1130), the process proceeds to step S22TM1170. When it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning (YES in step S22TM1130), the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning to the effect mode determination table of the flash effect at the time of winning (FIG. 8). -23) (see step S22TM1140).

(Table for determining the mode of flash production at the time of winning)
FIG. 8-23 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the effect mode determination table of the flash effect at the time of winning. As shown in FIG. 8-23, in this embodiment, the determination values are assigned so that the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is different according to the determination result (variation pattern [second half]) at the time of starting winning. There is.

(Y02) When the determination result of the fluctuation pattern [second half] at the time of starting winning is "out of super reach A" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [second half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "out of super reach A". In the case), it is decided that the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the white light emitting mode at a rate of 95%, and the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined to be the red light emitting mode at a rate of 5%. ..

(Y03) When the determination result of the fluctuation pattern [second half] at the time of starting winning is "out of super reach B" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [second half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "out of super reach B". In the case), it is decided that the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the white light emitting mode at a rate of 98%, and the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined to be the red light emitting mode at a rate of 2%. ..

(Y04) When the determination result of the fluctuation pattern [second half] at the time of starting winning is "out of super reach C" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [second half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "out of super reach C". In the case), it is decided that the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is the white light emitting mode at a rate of 97%, and the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined to be the red light emitting mode at a rate of 3%. ..

(Y12) When the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern [second half] at the time of starting winning is "super reach A jackpot" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [second half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "super reach A jackpot". In the case), it is decided that the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is the white light emitting mode at a rate of 80%, and the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the red light emitting mode at a rate of 20%. ..

(Y13) When the determination result of the fluctuation pattern [second half] at the time of starting winning is "out of super reach B" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [second half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "out of super reach B". In the case), it is decided that the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is the white light emitting mode at a rate of 40%, and the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the red light emitting mode at a rate of 60%. ..

(Y14) When the determination result of the fluctuation pattern [second half] at the time of starting winning is "out of super reach C" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [second half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "out of super reach C". In the case), it is decided that the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is the white light emitting mode at a rate of 60%, and the effect mode of the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the red light emitting mode at a rate of 40%. ..

The effect control CPU 120 sets the second look-ahead counter (step S22TM1150), sets the look-ahead prohibition flag (step S22TM1160), and determines whether or not it is determined to execute the non-common effect (step S22TM1170). ..

In the second look-ahead counter, a value corresponding to the first reserved storage number updated based on the start winning (value specified by the first reserved storage number designation command) is set, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is displayed. Each time it is executed (every time the first hold storage number subtraction designation command is received), the value of the first look-ahead counter is decremented by one. That is, the value of the second look-ahead counter is subtracted each time the hold display 22TM001 corresponding to the hold memory that is the determination target at the time of starting winning is shifted. Then, when the value of the first look-ahead counter becomes 0, the targeted variation display is executed.

If it is decided not to execute the non-common effect (NO in step S22TM1170), the process ends as it is. When it is decided to execute the non-common effect (YES in step S22TM1170), the effect control CPU 120 sets the type of the non-common effect to the non-common effect type determination table (see FIG. 8-24). It is determined based on (step S22TM1180).

(Type determination table for non-common production)
FIG. 8-24 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the type determination table of the non-common effect. As shown in FIG. 8-24, in this embodiment, determination values are assigned so that the types of non-common effects differ according to the determination result (variation pattern [first half portion]) at the time of starting winning.

(X00) When the determination result of the fluctuation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "no pseudo-continuous production" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [first half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "no pseudo-continuous production". In the case), it is decided to execute the chance eye production at a rate of 100%.

(X01) When the determination result of the variation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "with pseudo-continuous effect" (that is, the variation pattern [first half] specified by the variation category command is "with pseudo-continuous effect". In the case), it is decided to execute the chance eye production at a rate of 100%.

(X02) When the judgment result of the variation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "development suggestion effect (success mode)" (that is, the variation pattern [first half] specified by the variation category command is "development suggestion effect (success mode)". In the case of "success mode)"), it is decided to execute the development suggestion effect at a rate of 100%.

(X03) When the judgment result of the variation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "development suggestion effect (failure mode)" (that is, the variation pattern [first half] specified by the variation category command is "development suggestion effect (failure mode)". In the case of "failure mode)"), it is decided to execute the development suggestion effect at a rate of 100%.

The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is determined to execute the development suggestion effect (step S22TM1190). If it is decided not to execute the development suggestion effect, that is, if it is decided to execute the chance eye effect (NO in step S22TM1190), the process proceeds to step S22TM1260.

When it is decided to execute the development suggestion effect (YES in step S22TM1190), the effect control CPU 120 states that "(i) the number of reserved memories is" 1 "or more, and (ii) from the start winning prize. The fluctuation pattern of any of the reserved storage information corresponding to the previous start winning is "[No pseudo-continuous production], [Non-reach out]", and (iii) The fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display during execution is "[Pseudo]. [No continuous production], [Non-reach out] ”” (step S22TM1200).

When all the above requirements (i) to (iii) are satisfied, that is, "(i) the number of reserved memories is" 1 "or more, and (ii) any of the start prizes corresponding to the start prizes prior to the start prize. The fluctuation pattern of the hold storage information is also "[no pseudo-continuous effect], [non-reach out]", and the fluctuation pattern of the variation display during (iii) execution is "[no pseudo-continuous effect], [non-reach out of reach]". ] ”(YES in step S22TM1200), the effect control CPU 120 determines to start the development suggestion effect as a look-ahead suggestion effect, and proceeds to step S22TM1230.

When any of the above requirements (i) to (iii) is not satisfied, that is, the number of reserved storage information is 0, or the fluctuation pattern of any of the reserved storage information corresponding to the starting prize before the starting winning is If it is not "[No pseudo-continuous effect], [Non-reach off]", or if the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display being executed is not "[No pseudo-continuous effect], [Non-reach off]" (in step S22TM1200). NO), the effect control CPU 120 decides to start the development suggestion effect as the variable suggestion effect, and proceeds to step S22TM1230.

The effect control CPU 120 determines the display pattern of the link image in the development suggestion effect based on the link image display pattern determination table (see FIG. 8-25) (step S22TM1230), and sets a third look-ahead counter to be described later. (Step S22TM1240), the development suggestion flag described later is set (step S22TM1250), and the process ends as it is.

The value corresponding to the first reserved storage number updated based on the start winning (value specified by the first reserved storage number designation command) is set in the third look-ahead counter, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is displayed. Each time it is executed (every time the first hold storage number subtraction designation command is received), the value of the third look-ahead counter is decremented by one. That is, the value of the third look-ahead counter is subtracted each time the hold display 22TM001 corresponding to the hold memory that is the determination target at the time of starting winning is shifted. Then, when the value of the third look-ahead counter becomes 0, the targeted variation display is executed.

During the period when the development suggestion flag is set, even if a new start prize is generated, it corresponds to the new start prize (new first hold memory) by determining YES in step S22TM1010 described above. Development suggestion production is not executed. Further, as will be described in detail later, during the period when the development suggestion flag is set, even if a new fluctuation display is started, a voice corresponding to the new fluctuation display is determined by determining YES in step S22TM2000 described later. No advance notice is executed. The development suggestion flag is cleared when the fluctuation display (so-called target fluctuation) that is the target of the development suggestion effect ends.

(Link image display pattern determination table)
FIG. 8-25 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the display pattern determination table of the link image. As shown in FIG. 8-25, in this embodiment, the determination values are assigned so that the display pattern of the link image is different according to the determination result (variation pattern [first half portion]) at the time of starting winning.

In the display pattern shown in FIGS. 8-25, "blue" indicates a blue link image, "green" indicates a green link image, and "red" indicates a red link image. For example, the "blue" display pattern is a display pattern that does not change the mode (display color) of the link image after the blue link image is first displayed, and the "blue → green" display pattern is the first. This is a display pattern in which a blue link image is displayed and then changed to a green link image.

(X02) When the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "with development suggestion effect (success mode)" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [first half] specified by the variation category command is "development suggestion effect". If there is (success mode), it is decided to use the display pattern of "blue" at a rate of 20%, and to use the display pattern of "blue → green" at a rate of 20%. , 30% decided to use the "green" display pattern, 5% decided to use the "blue-> green-> red" display pattern, and 10% decided to use the "green-> red" display pattern. It is decided to use the display pattern of "red" at a rate of 15%.

(X03) When the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "with development suggestion effect (failure mode)" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [first half] specified by the variation category command is "development suggestion effect". If there is (failure mode), it is decided to use the display pattern of "blue" at a rate of 70%, and to use the display pattern of "blue → green" at a rate of 20%. It is decided to use a "green" display pattern at a rate of 10%.

As shown in Fig. 8-25, when the fluctuation pattern [first half] is "with development suggestion effect (success mode)", the display patterns of the link image are "blue → green → red" and "green → red". , Or "red" can be determined. That is, when the fluctuation pattern [first half] is "with development suggestion effect (success mode)", it is possible to determine the display pattern in which the mode (display color) of the link image is finally red. On the other hand, if the fluctuation pattern [first half] is "development suggestion effect (failure mode)", the display pattern of the link image is changed to "blue → green → red", "green → red", or "red". It is not possible to decide. That is, when the fluctuation pattern [first half] is "with development suggestion effect (failure mode)", it is not possible to determine the display pattern in which the mode (display color) of the link image is finally red. Therefore, in this example, the display of the red link image is an effect that confirms that the development suggestion effect is a successful mode.

When it is decided not to execute the development suggestion effect, that is, when it is decided to execute the chance eye effect (NO in step S22TM1190), the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect mode of the chance eye effect. Is determined based on the effect mode determination table (see FIG. 8-26) for the chance eye effect (step S22TM1260), the fourth look-ahead counter described later is set (step S22TM1270), and the look-ahead prohibition flag is set (step S22TM1280). ), End the process as it is.

The value corresponding to the first hold storage number updated based on the start winning (value specified by the first hold storage number designation command) is set in the fourth look-ahead counter, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is displayed. Each time it is executed (every time the first hold storage number subtraction designation command is received), the value of the fourth look-ahead counter is decremented by one. That is, the value of the fourth look-ahead counter is subtracted each time the hold display 22TM001 corresponding to the hold memory that is the determination target at the time of starting winning is shifted. Then, when the value of the fourth look-ahead counter becomes 0, the targeted variation display is executed.

(Production mode determination table for chance eye production)
FIG. 8-26 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the effect mode determination table for the chance eye effect. As shown in FIGS. 8-26, in this embodiment, determination values are assigned so that the effect mode of the chance eye effect differs depending on the determination result (variation pattern [first half portion]) at the time of starting winning. ..

(X00) When the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "no pseudo-continuous production" (that is, the fluctuation pattern [first half] specified by the fluctuation category command is "no pseudo-continuous production". In the case), it is decided that the production mode of the chance eye production is the normal mode at a rate of 100%.

(X01) When the determination result of the variation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is "with pseudo-continuous effect" (that is, the variation pattern [first half] specified by the variation category command is "with pseudo-continuous effect". In the case), it is decided that the effect mode of the chance eye effect is the forward mode at a rate of 80%, and the effect mode of the chance eye effect is the reverse mode at a rate of 20%.

[Production determination process at the start of fluctuation]
When starting the variation display of the special symbol, the CPU 103 includes a display result specification command for specifying the display result, a variation pattern specification command for specifying the variation pattern, and a hold storage number subtraction specification command (first hold storage number subtraction designation). The command or the second hold storage number subtraction designation command) is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120.

The effect control CPU 120 is a hold storage number subtraction designation command (first hold) that specifies that the hold storage number has been subtracted when the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) is started. Storage number subtraction specification command or second hold storage number subtraction specification command), display result specification command to specify the display result (big hit or miss, big hit type when it becomes a big hit), and the fluctuation time and effect contents of the special symbol (big hit or miss, big hit type) Based on the fact that a set of commands called a variation pattern specification command for specifying (reach, pseudo-ream, etc.) is received from the game control microcomputer 100, the variation display of the special symbol is executed, and the special symbol is executed. It is possible to specify the fluctuation time and the content of the production (reach, pseudo-ream, etc.).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 receives a special symbol (first special symbol) from the game control microcomputer 100 when the variable display of the special symbol is completed and the display result is confirmed. It is possible to identify that the variable display of the symbol or the second special symbol) is completed and the display result is derived.

FIG. 8-27 is a flowchart showing an effect determination process executed at the start of fluctuation. The effect control CPU 120 executes the effect change start effect determination process shown in FIGS. 8-27 in the variable display start setting process (step S171) of the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7. Specifically, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the above-mentioned one set of commands accompanying the start of the variation display of the special symbol, the display result designation is the variation display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the variation display of the special symbol. An effect control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute an effect) to be executed based on a command and a variation pattern specification command is set, and a decorative pattern based on the specified variation pattern is set. The effect to be executed (and the effect not to be executed) during the variation display is determined by the effect determination process at the start of the variation shown in FIGS. 8-27.

First, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the development suggestion flag is set (step S22TM2000). If the development suggestion flag is set (YES in step S22TM2000), the process ends as it is.

When the development suggestion flag is not set (NO in step S22TM2000), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the voice advance notice effect is executed and the effect mode, and whether or not the voice advance notice effect is executed and the effect mode determination table (FIG. 8- 28) (see step S22TM2010).

(Execution / non-execution of voice notice production and production mode determination table)
As shown in FIG. 8-28, in the voice advance notice effect execution presence / absence and effect mode determination table, for determining the execution presence / absence and effect mode of the voice notice effect according to the display result specified by the display result designation command. Judgment values are assigned.

When the display result is "off", the effect control CPU 120 decides not to execute the voice notice effect at a rate of 50%, and the character with a low expectation degree mode (a character of "chance may"" at a rate of 30%. Decided to execute the voice notice effect of (voice sound), and decided to execute the voice notice effect of the medium expectation mode (character voice sound of "Chance!") At a rate of 18%, and decided to execute the voice notice effect of 2%. It is decided to perform a voice notice production of a high expectation mode (character voice sound of "It's intense heat !!").

When the display result is "big hit", the effect control CPU 120 decides not to execute the voice notice effect at a rate of 30%, and the character with a low expectation degree mode (a character of "chance may"" at a rate of 30%. Decided to execute the voice advancement effect of (voice sound), and decided to execute the voice advancement effect of the medium expectation mode (character voice sound of "Chance!") At a rate of 20%, and the ratio of 20%. It is decided to perform a voice notice production of a high expectation mode (character voice sound of "It's intense heat !!").

As shown in FIGS. 8-28, when the voice notice effect is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the voice notice effect is not executed. Further, when the voice notice effect is executed, the big hit expectation is higher in the order of the voice notice effect in the low expectation mode <the voice notice effect in the medium expectation mode <the voice notice effect in the high expectation mode.

(Time chart related to voice notice production and development suggestion production of success mode)
FIG. 8-29 is a time chart showing the execution timing of each effect related to the voice notice effect and the development suggestion effect of the success mode.

In this example, it is assumed that the effect control CPU 120 decides to execute the development suggestion effect of the success mode as the look-ahead suggestion effect in step S22TM1210 in the effect determination process at the time of starting winning. Further, in this example, in the effect determination process at the start of the variation in the variation display two before the variation display (target variation display) that is the target of the advance notice of the development suggestion effect, the voice advance notice effect is performed in step S22TM2010. Suppose you decide to do it.

First, when the CPU 103 starts the variation display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 has the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, of the image display device 5 based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command. In 5R, the variation display of the decorative symbol is started, and in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5, the variation display of the small symbol is started. The number of first reserved storages at this time is 1 (timing of T1 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 continuously sets the channel setting ratio of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) being reproduced and output to "1 (100%)". Music A (usually BGM) is continuously reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the voice advance notice effect, and continuously sets the channel setting ratios of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) being reproduced and output to "1 (100%)". ) ”, And by setting the channel setting ratio of“ CH10 ”corresponding to the character voice sound to“ 1 (100%) ”, the character voice sound from the speakers 8L and 8R (for example, the character of“ chance ”” (Voice sound) is reproduced and output (the period from T2A to T2B shown in FIGS. 8-29).

Next, when the CPU 103 is executing the variable display of the first special symbol, a new start prize is generated, the first reserved storage number becomes 2, and the effect control CPU 120 starts the development suggestion effect as the look-ahead suggestion effect. It is decided to set the development suggestion flag (timing of T3 shown in FIG. 8-29).

Next, at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 performs a combination of decorative symbols (for example, "243") in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. In addition to the fixed stop, the combination of small symbols (for example, "243") is fixedly stopped in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5. That is, the combination of decorative symbols whose display result is "off" is fixedly stopped (timing of T4 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

Next, when the CPU 103 starts the variation display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 determines the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, of the image display device 5 based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command. In 5R, the variation display of the decorative symbol is started, and in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5, the variation display of the small symbol is started. The number of first reserved storages at this time is 1 (timing of T5 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the first effect in the development suggestion effect as the look-ahead suggestion effect. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 gradually reduces the channel setting ratio of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) being reproduced and output from "1 (100%)" to "0". By executing the process of "(0%)", the output volume is gradually reduced and the process of setting "0" is executed, and the music A (normal BGM) is faded out (T5 to T6 shown in FIGS. 8-29). By setting the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" to "1 (100%)", the first period (A in this example) of the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R. Play and output the melody).

Next, at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 performs a combination of decorative symbols (for example, "152") in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. In addition to the fixed stop, the combination of small symbols (for example, "152") is fixedly stopped in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5. That is, the combination of decorative symbols whose display result is "off" is fixedly stopped (timing of T7 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

Next, when the CPU 103 starts the variation display (target variation display) of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 is an image display device based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command. In the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of 5, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, and in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5, the variable display of the small symbol is started. The number of first reserved storages at this time is 1 (timing of T8 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 ends the first effect in the development suggestion effect at the timing when the second effect in the development suggestion effect should be started (the timing of T9 shown in FIGS. 8-29), and the second effect in the development suggestion effect. Perform the production.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 gradually reduces the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" corresponding to the music B (special BGM) being reproduced and output from "1 (100%)" to "0". By executing the process of "(0%)", the output volume is gradually reduced and the process of setting it to "0" is executed, the music B (special BGM) is faded out, and the sound effect A (second production: 2nd production: The output volume is gradually increased by executing the process of gradually increasing the channel setting ratio of "CH6" corresponding to the first stage sound effect) from "0 (0%)" to "1 (100%)". The process of "12" is executed, and the sound effect A (second effect: previous stage sound effect) is faded in from the speakers 8L and 8R (the period from T9 to T10 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 gradually reduces the channel setting ratio of "CH6" corresponding to the sound effect A (second effect: previous stage sound effect) during playback output from "1 (100%)" to "1 (100%)". By executing the process of setting "0 (0%)", the output volume is gradually reduced and the process of setting "0" is executed, and the sound effect A (second effect: previous stage sound effect) is faded out (FIG. 8). The period from T11 to T12 shown in −29).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 gradually increases the channel setting ratio of "CH7" corresponding to the sound effect B (second effect: post-stage sound effect) from "0 (0%)" to "1 (100%)". By executing the process of increasing the output volume to "12", the sound effect B (second effect: post-stage sound effect) is faded in from the speakers 8L and 8R (FIG. 8). The period from T12 to T13 shown in −29).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 gradually reduces the channel setting ratio of "CH7" corresponding to the sound effect B (second effect: post-stage sound effect) that was being reproduced and output from "1 (100%)" to "1 (100%)". By executing the process of setting "0 (0%)", the output volume is gradually reduced and the process of setting it to "0" is executed, and the sound effect B (second effect: latter stage sound effect) is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Fade out (period T14-T15 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 ends the second effect in the development suggestion effect at the timing when the third effect [first half] in the development suggestion effect should be started (the timing of T15 shown in FIGS. 8-29), and the development suggestion. The third production [first half] in the production is executed.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH7" corresponding to the sound effect B (second effect: subsequent sound effect) that was being reproduced and output to "0 (0%)". By doing so, the playback output of the sound effect B (second effect: latter stage sound effect) is terminated from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the channel setting ratios of "CH4" and "CH5" corresponding to the music B (special BGM) are set. By executing the process of gradually increasing from "0 (0%)" to "1 (100%)", the process of gradually increasing the output volume to "9" is executed, and from the speakers 8L and 8R. The second period (for example, B melody and chorus) of the music B (special BGM) is faded in (the period from T15 to T16 shown in FIGS. 8-29).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratios of "CH4" and "CH5" corresponding to the second period (B melody and chorus in this example) of the music B (special BGM) that was being reproduced and output to "CH5". By executing the process of "0 (0%)", the reproduction output of the second period (B melody and chorus in this example) from the speakers 8L and 8R is terminated (timing of T17 shown in FIGS. 8-29). ..

Next, the effect control CPU 120 is at the timing when the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect should be started (the timing of T18 shown in FIGS. 8-29), and the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect. ] Is executed.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH8" corresponding to the effect sound C (third effect: success sound effect) to "1 (100%)", thereby increasing the output volume. Is set to "12", and the sound effect C (third effect: success sound effect) is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the start of the fluctuation period corresponding to the latter half of the fluctuation pattern (for example, "super reach C loss (Y04)" or "super reach C jackpot (Y14)") ( (At the timing of T19 shown in FIGS. 8-29), the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect is completed, and the image display device 5 is stopped and displayed to bring the decorative pattern into a reach state.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH8" corresponding to the effect sound C (third effect: success sound effect) to "0 (0%)", thereby increasing the output volume. Is executed to set "0" to "0", the reproduction output of the sound effect C (third effect: success sound effect) is terminated from the speakers 8L and 8R, and "CH4" and "CH4" corresponding to the music B (special BGM) are terminated. By executing the process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH5" to "1 (100%)", the process of setting the output volume to "9" is executed, and the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R is the first. The three periods (large rust in this example) are reproduced and output.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the battle C effect at the timing (timing of T20 shown in FIG. 8-29) that should be developed into the super reach C based on the latter half of the fluctuation pattern.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 sets the output volume to "1 (100%)" by executing the process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" corresponding to the music B (special BGM) to "1 (100%)". 9 ”is executed, and the reproduction output of the third period (large rust in this example) of the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R is continued.

(Time chart related to voice notice production and development suggestion production of failure mode)
FIG. 8-30 is a time chart showing the execution timing of each effect related to the voice notice effect and the development suggestion effect of the failure mode.

In this example, it is assumed that the effect control CPU 120 decides to execute the development suggestion effect of the failure mode as the look-ahead suggestion effect in step S22TM1210 in the effect determination process at the time of starting winning. Further, in this example, in the effect determination process at the start of the variation in the variation display two before the variation display (target variation display) that is the target of the advance notice of the development suggestion effect, the voice advance notice effect is performed in step S22TM2010. Suppose you decide to do it.

The timing at which the third effect [second half] should be started in the development suggestion effect in the time chart showing the execution timing of each effect related to the voice notice effect and the development suggestion effect of the failure mode shown in FIG. 8-30 (FIG. 8). The explanation up to the timing of T18 shown in -30) is described in the development suggestion effect in the time chart showing the execution timing of each effect related to the voice notice effect and the development suggestion effect of the success mode shown in FIG. 8-29. Since it is the same as that shown in the description up to the timing at which the third effect [second half] should be started (the timing of T18 shown in FIGS. 8-29), the description here will be omitted. Here, the explanation will be given from the timing at which the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect of the failure mode should be started (the timing of T18 shown in FIG. 8-30).

The effect control CPU 120 performs the third effect [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion effect at the timing when the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect should be started (timing of T18 shown in FIG. 8-30). Execute.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH9" corresponding to the effect sound D (third effect: failure sound effect) to "1 (100%)", thereby increasing the output volume. Is set to "12", and the sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 ends the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect at the timing when the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect should be ended (the timing of T19 shown in FIG. 8-30). To do.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a process of setting the channel setting ratio of "CH9" corresponding to the effect sound D (third effect: failure sound effect) to "0 (0%)", thereby increasing the output volume. Is set to "0", and the reproduction output of the sound effect D (third effect: failure sound effect) is terminated from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Next, at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 performs a combination of decorative symbols (for example, "147") in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. In addition to the fixed stop, the combination of small symbols (for example, "147") is fixedly stopped in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5. That is, the combination of decorative symbols whose display result is "off" is fixedly stopped (timing of T20 shown in FIG. 8-30).

As shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10 (particularly, see FIGS. 8-9 (3-1) and (3-2)), the effect control CPU 120 is a specific branch effect (second effect, second effect). It is possible to reproduce and output the second period (B melody, chorus) of the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R while executing (3 effects). Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 (3-4A) to (3-6A), the effect control CPU 120 continues the music B (special BGM) after executing the specific branch effect [success mode]. It is possible to play and output. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 (3-4B) and (3-5B), the effect control CPU 120 of the music B (special BGM) after executing the specific branch effect [failure mode]. The playback output is finished.

According to such a configuration, when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) or the specific branch effect (second effect, third effect) in the development suggestion effect is executed, it is different from the music A (normal BGM). By playing back and outputting the music B (special BGM), it is possible to impress the player that the production currently being executed is a production that suggests (notifies) whether or not it will develop into Super Reach C. It becomes. Then, when the specific branching effect of the successful mode is executed, the music B (special BGM) is continuously reproduced and output, so that it is notified that the music B (special BGM) develops into the super reach C. This makes it possible to associate the continuous playback of the music B (special BGM) with the development to the super reach C. As a result, the player waits for the music B (special BGM) to be played for as long as possible (played and output until the third period) from the stage of the specific suggestion effect (first effect). , It is possible to improve the interest of development suggestion production using music.

Here, in the present embodiment, at the stage of the specific suggestion effect (first effect) in the development suggestion effect, the first period (verse) of the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output, but after the second period ( The playback output of (after B melody) is limited. Then, at the stage of the second production in the specific branch production, the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is temporarily interrupted (it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) once). As a result, the player becomes interested in whether or not the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is continued (whether or not the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output again).

Next, in the first half of the third production in the specific branch production, the second period (B melody, chorus) of the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output, so that the player can proceed with the music B (special BGM) again. You will be interested in the situation. Then, in the latter half of the third effect in the specific branch effect, the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is interrupted again (it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) again). As a result, the player becomes interested in whether or not the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is continued (whether or not the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output again).

In the present embodiment, the reach state is established and the super reach C is developed by reproducing and outputting the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) in the latter half of the third production in the specific branch production. It is confirmed that it will be done. On the other hand, if the music B (special BGM) is not reproduced and output in the latter half of the third effect in the specific branch effect, it is notified (suggested) that the music B (special BGM) does not develop into the super reach C. With such a configuration, the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) and the super reach C are associated with each other, and the player can play and output the music B (special BGM) in the third production. You will have a strong interest in the situation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-7, when the effect control CPU 120 is executing the specific suggestion effect (first effect), a plurality of types of link images are displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the image display device 5. Any kind of link image among (blue link image 22TM300a, green link image 22TM300b, etc.) can be displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-1), the effect control CPU 120 is on the right side of the screen of the image display device 5 until just before the timing of executing the specific branch effect (second effect, third effect). An image of the first effect image (in this example, the smallest size green first effect image 22TM310b) related to the aspect (display color) of the link image (green link image 22TM300b in this example) displayed in the lower area. It is displayed in the lower right area of the screen of the display device 5.

In this way, when shifting from the specific suggestion effect to the specific branch effect, the first effect image in the mode corresponding to the mode (display color) of the link image displayed during the execution of the specific suggestion effect is referred to as the link image. By displaying in a common area, the player can be made aware of the change of the production scene (transition from the specific suggestion effect to the specific branch effect), and at the same time, it develops into Super Reach C caused by the specific suggestion effect. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for the image.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (3-1), when the effect control CPU 120 executes the third effect [first half portion] in the specific branch effect, FIG. 8-7 (FIG. 8-7 (3-1) The green bar-shaped crystal (green link image 22TM300b) in the specific suggestion effect (first effect) shown in 1-4) is linked through the first effect image → the second effect image → the third effect image, and then the link image (green link). It is related to the display color of the image 22TM300b), and is displayed by being changed to green large granular crystals (green fourth effect image 22TM340B) arranged in a frame shape.

According to such a configuration, when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is shifted to the third effect in the specific branch effect (second effect, third effect), the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is being executed. Since the fourth effect image will be displayed in a shape different from the shape of the link image displayed in (however, the mode of the link image and a part (display color and substance) are common), it is specified. Also in the third effect in the branch effect (second effect, third effect), the player can be made to recognize that the suggestion (notification) of whether or not to develop into the super reach C is performed. Further, since the fourth effect image is displayed in a mode (display color and substance) related to the mode (display color and substance) of the link image displayed during the execution of the specific suggestion effect (first effect). , In the transition from the specific suggestion effect (first effect) to the specific branch effect (third effect), both effects are related and developed into Super Reach C generated by the specific suggestion effect (first effect). It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for what to do.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1-1), the effect control CPU 120 sets the channel setting ratios of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) that was being reproduced and output. By executing the process of gradually reducing the output volume from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)", the process of gradually reducing the output volume to "0" is executed, and the music A (normal BGM) is executed. ) Fade out and the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" is set to "1 (100%)" so that the first period (in this example, the special BGM) of the music B (special BGM) from the speakers 8L and 8R A melody) is played back and output. According to such a configuration, the playback output of the music B is started in response to the execution of the specific suggestion production (first production), which is the first stage of the development suggestion production (the playback output of the music B is the music A). By giving priority to the reproduction output of the music, it is possible to generate a feeling of expectation that the music will develop into Super Reach C, and it is possible to improve the interest in the initial stage of the development suggestion production.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-13 and 8-14, the development suggestion flag is set when the development suggestion effect in which the music B is reproduced and output is being executed (step). S22TM1250). Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-27, when the development suggestion flag is set in the effect determination process at the start of fluctuation, the character voice sound is reproduced and output by determining YES in step S22TM2000. The execution of the voice notice effect is restricted. According to such a configuration, the playback output of the music B can be prioritized over the playback output of the character voice sound, so that it is possible to prevent the music B from being difficult to hear due to other sound effects (character voice sound). Therefore, the expectation generated by the playback output of the music B is not impaired.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 (1-1) to 8-8 (2-1), the effect control CPU 120 is a specific suggestion effect (first effect) in the development suggestion effect. Is executed as a look-ahead suggestion effect, the first period (verse) of the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output, and the effect mode is shifted from the normal mode to the special mode. Then, in response to the transition to the special mode, a special background image 22TM200B showing the landscape of the volcano including the night sky, the mountains, the eruption of smoke, and the characters of "XX mode" is displayed as the background image of the decorative pattern. According to such a configuration, when the music B is played back and output, the production mode changes from the normal mode (normal background) to the special mode (special background), so that both the auditory sense and the visual sense of the player It is possible to effectively raise the expectation for the development of Super Reach C.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 (1-1) to (1-4), the effect control CPU 120 is displayed on the right side of the screen of the image display device 5 over a plurality of variable displays. A link image (blue link image 22TM300a, green link image 22TM300b) is displayed in the lower region, and the blue link image 22TM300a is changed to the green link image 22TM300b while the music B is being reproduced and output. According to such a configuration, the mode (display color) of the link image related to the music B may change to a more promising mode (display color) within the period during which the music B is reproduced and output. Therefore, the player pays attention to the display mode of the link image while listening to the music B.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-9, when the effect control CPU 120 is executing the third effect [first half] in the specific branch effect, the music B (from the speakers 8L and 8R) The second period (B melody, chorus) of the special BGM) is reproduced and output. According to such a configuration, the music B (special BGM) is shifted from the first period (A melody) to the second period (B melody, chorus) immediately before notifying whether or not it develops into Super Reach C. As a result, it is possible to create a relationship between the playback output of the second period (B melody, chorus) of the music B (special BGM) and the timing of notifying whether or not it develops into super reach C. .. That is, by playing back and outputting the second period (B melody, chorus) of the music B (special BGM), the player is given the impression that the timing of notifying whether or not to develop into super reach C is near. It becomes possible to improve the interest of the development suggestion production in which the music B (special BGM) is output.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-17, whether or not the battle C effect is executed (whether or not the battle C effect is developed, the type of the common effect) is determined based on the fluctuation pattern [second half]. ing. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-24, whether or not the development suggestion effect is executed (type of non-common effect) is determined based on the fluctuation pattern [first half]. As described above, since the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) in the development suggestion effect is executed, the presence or absence of the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) varies. It will be decided based on the pattern [first half]. According to such a configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not the music B (special BGM) has a playback output based only on the fluctuation pattern [first half]. Therefore, the fluctuation pattern [first half] and the fluctuation pattern [second half] Compared with the case where the presence / absence of the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is determined based on the above, the effect determination process in the effect control CPU 120 can be simplified. In addition, since it is possible to determine whether or not to execute the development suggestion effect based only on the fluctuation pattern [first half], the data (process data) for effect control related to the development suggestion effect can be obtained from the fluctuation pattern [second half]. It is possible to make it common (store it as common data in advance), and it is possible to reduce the burden of effect control.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-7, the effect control CPU 120 has a specific suggestion effect (first effect) before the start of the specific branch effect (second effect, third effect). When it is being executed, the first period (verse) of the music B (special BGM) is played back and output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and at the stage of the specific suggestion production (first production), the music B (special BGM) is played back. The second period (B melody, chorus) and the third period (large chorus) of) are not output. In this way, the playback output status of the music B (special BGM) and the progress status of the development suggestion effect (specific suggestion effect (first effect), specific branch effect (second effect, third effect)) are made to correspond to each other. As a result, it is possible to generate an appropriate interest corresponding to the progress of the development suggestion effect (specific suggestion effect (first effect), specific branch effect (second effect, third effect)).

Further, in the present embodiment, when it is decided to execute the development suggestion effect based on the determination at the time of starting winning, the specific suggestion effect (second effect, third effect) before the start of the specific branch effect (second effect, third effect). The execution period of the first effect) is a period corresponding to the number of reserved memories when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is started. That is, the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect) (the reproduction output period of the first period (verse) of the music B (special BGM)) is held when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is started. It has a different structure depending on the number of memories.

For example, when the number of reserved memories is "3" when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is started (before the variable display that is the target of the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is started. 3 times of fluctuation display period (when 3 times of fluctuation display is executed), 3 times of fluctuation display period corresponding to the number of reserved memories (for example, all fluctuation patterns of 3 times are "[pseudo-reamless], [non-reach out of]" (10) Based on (seconds), 30 seconds) when the variation display period for three times is 10 seconds x 3 = 30 seconds) and the specific suggestion effect (first effect) in the variation display that is the subject of advance notice. ) Is the total execution period (for example, 30 seconds + 20 seconds = 50 seconds) of the specific suggestion effect (first effect).

Here, as described above, in this example, the playable period of the first period (verse) of the music B (special BGM) is 60 seconds, so that, for example, three times corresponding to the number of reserved memories If the total of the variable display periods is 40 seconds or less, the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is completed within the playable period of the first period (verse) of the music B (special BGM). That is, when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is executed, if the total of the variable display periods for three times corresponding to the number of reserved memories is within a predetermined time (40 seconds in this example), the specific branch is performed. Before shifting to the production (second production, third production), the second period and the third period of the music B (special BGM) are not reproduced and output.

However, when the specific suggestion effect (first effect) is executed, if the total of the three variable display periods corresponding to the number of reserved memories exceeds the predetermined time (40 seconds in this example), the music B (in this example) If the playback output of the special BGM is not restricted at all, the second period (B melody, chorus) and the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) during the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect). Will be played back and output. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the total of the fluctuation display periods for three times corresponding to the number of reserved memories exceeds a predetermined time (40 seconds in this example), as described above, the specific suggestion effect (first effect). In, after the reproduction output of the A melody of the music B (special BGM) is completed once, the reproduction output of the A melody is continued (for example, only the interlude part [40 seconds] of the A melody is repeatedly reproduced and output). , The second period (B melody, chorus) and the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) are restricted from being played back and output during the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect). ..

Control that limits the playback output of the second period (B melody, chorus) and the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) during the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect). Is not limited to the above control. For example, if the total of the three variable display periods corresponding to the number of reserved memories is within a predetermined time (40 seconds in this example), the specific suggestion effect (first effect) can be executed, but the reserved memory When the total of the three variable display periods corresponding to the number exceeds a predetermined time (40 seconds in this example), the specific suggestion effect (first effect) may not be executed. In addition, when the fluctuation display period of the fluctuation pattern of "[pseudo-reamless], [non-reach out]" in the present embodiment is 10 seconds, the hold memory based on the start prize is stored in the judgment at the time of the start prize. For any of the reserved memories except for, the development suggestion effect may be enabled on condition that the fluctuation pattern is "[pseudo-reamless], [non-reach out]". That is, it may be possible to execute the development suggestion effect based on the total of the three variable display periods being 30 seconds at the maximum.

In the above embodiment, the second period (B melody, chorus) and the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) are not reproduced and output during the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect). However, it is not limited to such a form, and even during the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect), the second period (B melody, chorus) and the third of the music B (special BGM). The period (large rust) may be playable and output. For example, during the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect), the first period (A melody), the second period (B melody, chorus), and the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) are sequentially performed. After being reproduced and output, it may be reproduced and output again from the first period (verse A). According to such a configuration, the reproduction output control of the music B (special BGM) can be simplified.

Then, when the reproduction output control of the music B (special BGM) is executed, the music B (special BGM) is at the timing of shifting from the specific suggestion effect (first effect) to the second effect of the specific branch effect. Music B (special BGM) is played back and output from the second period (B melody, chorus) at the timing when the playback output of is temporarily interrupted and the second production of the specific branch production shifts to the third production [first half]. You may do so. Then, in the third production [first half], the first period (verse) and the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) may not be reproduced and output.

During the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect), the second period (B melody, chorus) of the music B (special BGM) can be reproduced and output, but the third period (large chorus) is reproduced and output. It may not be done. For example, during the execution period of the specific suggestion effect (first effect), the first period (A melody) and the second period (B melody, chorus) of the music B (special BGM) are reproduced and output, and then the third period. (Large rust) may be reproduced and output again from the first period (verse) without being reproduced and output. Then, when the reproduction output control of the music B (special BGM) is executed, the music B (special BGM) is at the timing of shifting from the specific suggestion effect (first effect) to the second effect of the specific branch effect. Music B (special BGM) is played back and output from the second period (B melody, chorus) at the timing when the playback output of is temporarily interrupted and the second production of the specific branch production shifts to the third production [first half]. You may do so. Then, in the third production [first half], the first period (verse) and the third period (large chorus) of the music B (special BGM) may not be reproduced and output.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (2-1), the effect control CPU 120 is in the process of reproducing and outputting with the start of the specific branch effect (second effect in the development suggestion effect). By executing the process of gradually reducing the channel setting ratio of "CH4" and "CH5" corresponding to the music B (special BGM) from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)". While fading out music B (special BGM), the channel setting ratio of "CH6" corresponding to sound effect A (second production: previous stage sound effect) is gradually increased from "0 (0%)" to "1". By executing the process of "(100%)", the sound effect A (second effect: previous stage sound effect) is faded in from the speakers 8L and 8R. According to such a configuration, the player can easily grasp that the specific branching effect has been executed (the transition from the specific suggestion effect to the specific branching effect), and the interest in the specific branching effect can be increased.

In the present embodiment, the development suggestion effect is an effect that suggests that the battle C effect is executed (development to super reach C), and the determination result of the fluctuation pattern [first half] at the time of starting winning is developed. It can be executed when it is determined that there is a suggestion effect ((X02) or (X03)), and it can be executed over a plurality of variable displays. As for the development suggestion effect, as described above, the first effect (see FIG. 8-7), the second effect (see FIG. 8-8), and the third effect (see FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10). ), And from the first effect to the first half of the third effect, the effect mode is common depending on whether the mode is successful or unsuccessful after that (second half of the third effect).

The development suggestion effect changes from a common mode (from the first effect to the first half of the third effect) to a success mode (success mode in the second half of the third effect) (FIGS. 8-10 (3-4A) to (3-). 6A)) and the case of changing from the common mode (from the first effect to the first half of the third effect) to the failure mode (the failure mode in the second half of the third effect) (FIGS. 8-10 (3-4B) and (Fig. 8-10 (3-4B)). 3-5B)), and when the development suggestion effect changes to the success mode, the battle C effect is executed more than when the development suggestion effect changes to the failure mode (develops to super reach C). The ratio is high.

Note that FIG. 8-10 shows an example in which the battle C effect is always executed when the development suggestion effect is in the successful mode, and the battle C effect is not executed when the development suggestion effect is in the failure mode. As shown, not limited to such a form, even if the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the success mode, the battle C effect may not be executed, and the development suggestion may not be executed. Even when the effect changes from the common mode to the failure mode, the battle C effect may be executed. In such a configuration, when the development suggestion effect is in a successful mode, it is preferable that the battle C effect is executed at a higher rate than in the case where the development suggestion effect is in a failure mode. When the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the success mode, the battle C effect is executed at a rate of 80%, but when the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the failure mode, the battle C effect is performed. It may be executed at a rate of 20%.

Further, in the present embodiment, the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output when the development suggestion effect is in the common mode (see FIGS. 8-7 and 8-9). Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 (3-4B) and (3-5B), when the failure mode occurs in the latter half of the third production, the music B (special BGM) is not reproduced and output. That is, when the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the failure mode, the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) ends. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 (3-4A) to (3-6A), when the success mode is achieved in the latter half of the third production, the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output again. That is, when the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the successful mode, the music B (special BGM) is continuously reproduced and output.

According to such a configuration, the output mode of the music B (special BGM) differs depending on whether the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the failure mode or the predetermined suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the success mode. Therefore, there is a relationship between the mode of the development suggestion production and the output mode of the music B (special BGM), and the interest of the development suggestion production is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, during the execution of the development suggestion effect in the common mode, the link image different from the hold display and the active display corresponding to the variable display is different from both the hold display area and the active display area at the lower right of the screen. It is displayed in the area (see Figure 8-7). There are a plurality of types of display modes of this link image (blue link image, green link image, red link image).

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-8 (2-1) to (2-8) and 8-9 (3-1), the effect control CPU 120 extends from the start of the second effect to the first half of the third effect. By displaying various effect images (22TM310b, 22TM310B, 22TM320b, 22TM320B, 22TM330b, 22TM330B, 22TM340B) of the display colors corresponding to the display colors of the crystals included in the link image, the images are displayed on the image display device 5. It is possible to change the visibility of the background image.

In this way, at the timing when the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the failure mode or the success mode, the development suggestion effect is changed from the success mode or the success mode by changing the visibility of the background image in a mode corresponding to the display mode of the link image. It is possible to make the player aware that the failure mode may change.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (3-1), the effect control CPU 120 has a green bar shape displayed in the first effect when the third effect [first half] is executed. The green link image 22TM300b containing the crystal of (see FIGS. 8-7 (1-2) to (1-4)) has a shape (large grain) different from that of the crystal contained in the green link image 22TM300b and is green. Crystals of the same color (green) as the crystals contained in the link image 22TM300b are changed to the green fourth effect image 22TM340B arranged in a frame shape.

In this way, when the development suggestion effect changes from the common mode to the failure mode or the success mode, the display mode has a shape different from the display mode of the ring display before the change, and the display mode of the ring display before the change is changed. By changing the ring display to the effect image of the related display mode, the mode of the development suggestion effect may be changed while maintaining the player's expectation caused by the display mode of the ring display. Can be recognized by others.

(Other variants)
(1) [Successful resurrection mode]
In the above embodiment, success mode and failure mode are exemplified as the production mode of the third production [second half] in the development suggestion production. Not limited to such a form, another effect mode may be provided as an effect mode of the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect.

For example, as the production mode of the third production [second half] in the development suggestion production, the following successful revival mode may be provided. In the following, when the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect is the revival success mode, the third effect is referred to as the third effect [second half: revival success mode] in the development suggestion effect. The third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect is the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect after executing the third effect [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion effect. It is a series of productions to execute. That is, the third effect [second half: successful revival mode] in the development suggestion effect includes the same mode as the third effect [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion effect, and the third effect [second half] in the development suggestion effect. Part: Successful mode] and the same mode.

Specifically, the third effect [second half: successful revival mode] in the development suggestion effect is the first effect, the second effect, and the third effect [as shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-9]. After the first half] is executed, as shown in FIG. 8-31 (3-4C), the third effect [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion effect is executed, and then the development suggestion effect ends. As shown in FIGS. 8-31 (3-5C) and (3-6C), after the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect is executed, FIG. 8-31 (3-7C) As shown in the above, the third production [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion production is completed, and it is a series of productions that develop into Super Reach C. That is, in the third effect [second half: successful revival mode] in the development suggestion effect, the timing at which the development suggestion effect in the development suggestion effect of the failure mode shown in FIG. 8-10 ends (FIG. 8-10 (3-5B)). At a timing corresponding to (the timing of transition to), unlike the development suggestion effect of the failure mode, the third effect is continuously executed without ending the development suggestion effect.

In this way, the third production [second half: revival success mode] in the development suggestion production does not develop into Super Reach C by first executing the third production [second half: failure mode] in the development suggestion production. Once this is suggested to the player, the player is notified that the development to Super Reach C is achieved by executing the third effect [second half: success mode] in the development suggestion effect. By providing such an effect mode, even if the development suggestion effect of the failure mode is executed, the player can have a feeling of expectation that the revival will be a successful mode until the timing when the background image is switched to the normal background image. Development suggestion production can be diversified.

(2) In the above embodiment, when the music A (normal BGM) is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the development suggestion effect is executed. When is started, the channel setting ratio of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) that was being played back is gradually reduced from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)". ) ”, The output volume is gradually reduced to“ 0 ”, and the music A (usually BGM) is faded out, but it is not limited to this form. Even during the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM), the music A (normal BGM) may be continuously reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

For example, the channel setting ratio of "CH2" and "CH3" corresponding to the music A (normally BGM) that was being played back is gradually reduced from "1 (100%)" to "0.3 (30%)". By executing the process of, the output volume is gradually reduced to "2.7", and the music A (normal BGM) is reproduced and output during the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM). It may be difficult for the player to recognize that the music is being played.

(3) In the above embodiment, when the development suggestion effect is started as the look-ahead suggestion effect, the effect mode is shifted to the special mode in the first effect, and the development suggestion effect is started as the changing suggestion effect. , An example of not shifting the production mode to the special mode in the first production is shown, but not limited to such a form, when the first production in the development suggestion production is executed, the conditions at the time of the start prize (executed at the time of the start prize). Regardless of the variation pattern of the variation display and the variation pattern related to the hold memory), the effect mode may be shifted to the special mode.

(4) In the above embodiment, (a) a table in which the determination value differs depending on the fluctuation pattern (variation pattern [first half portion] + fluctuation pattern [second half portion]) of whether or not the common effect and the non-common effect are executed (FIG. 8-15 and 8-16), and if it is decided to execute the non-common effect, (b) the type of non-common effect (pseudo-continuous effect, development suggestion effect) and the effect mode. Is determined based on a table (see FIG. 8-17) in which the determination value is different according to the fluctuation pattern [second half], but the advance notice effect is not limited to such a form and is based on another table. You may draw a lottery about whether or not the execution of. For example, when the type of non-common effect is determined to be a development suggestion effect, (c) a notice effect executed during the execution period of the development suggestion effect, which is a chance-up effect suggesting that the jackpot expectation is high. Whether or not to execute may be determined based on a table in which the determination value differs depending on the fluctuation pattern [first half].

(5) In the above embodiment, the execution period of the development suggestion effect and the specific period after the end of the development suggestion effect (the period from the establishment of the reach to the end of the super reach C after the end of the development suggestion effect of the successful mode). In the above, an example in which a common music B (special BGM) is played back and output is shown, but it is not limited to such a form, and the execution period of the development suggestion effect and the specific period after the end of the development suggestion effect (success mode). Different songs may be reproduced and output depending on the period from the establishment of reach to the end of super reach C after the end of the development suggestion effect). For example, while the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output during the execution period of the development suggestion effect, a specific period after the end of the development suggestion effect (super reach C after the reach is established after the end of the development suggestion effect of the successful mode). The specific music (for example, the music C related to the music B (special BGM)) may be reproduced and output in the period until the end of the music.

(6) In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which a lighting effect of lighting the game effect lamp 9 and a blinking effect of blinking the game effect lamp 9 can be executed when the development suggestion effect is being executed. However, the present invention is not limited to such a form, and at least one of the lighting effect and the blinking effect may be executed even when the development suggestion effect is not executed.

For example, at least one of the lighting effect and the blinking effect may be executed during the jackpot game. As described above, in the present embodiment, the music B (special BGM) can be reproduced and output during the big hit game, and the lighting effect or the blinking effect is produced corresponding to the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) during the big hit game. May be executed.

(6-1) For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10 (3-4A) and (3-5A), the period during which the specific branch effect (third effect) is executed is the music. While the lighting effect and the blinking effect are executed regardless of the presence or absence of the reproduction output of B (special BGM), the period during which the music B (special BGM) is reproduced and output during the jackpot game is the period of the music B (special BGM). The lighting effect and the blinking effect may be executed in response to the playback output. For example, the lighting effect is started at the timing when the playback output of the music B (special BGM) is started during the big hit game, and the lighting effect is changed to the blinking effect at the timing when the music B (special BGM) shifts to the small chorus during the big hit game. Switch to, switch from the blinking effect to the lighting effect when the music B (special BGM) shifts to the big chorus during the big hit game, and turn on the lighting effect when the playback output of the music B (special BGM) ends during the big hit game. You may end it.

According to such a configuration, during the big hit game, the progress of the music B (special BGM) and the light emitting mode (light emitting effect mode) of the game effect lamp 9 are linked, and the music B (special BGM). There is a relationship between the light emission effect and the light emission effect. On the other hand, during the execution period of the specific branch effect (third effect), the lighting effect or the blinking effect is executed regardless of the presence or absence of the playback output of the music B (special BGM), so that the game effect lamp 9 It becomes clear that the light emitting mode (mode of the light emitting effect) is not linked to the progress of the music B (special BGM) (there is no relation between the music B (special BGM) and the light emitting effect). .. As a result, the player's consciousness is not concentrated only on the progress of the music B (special BGM) (and the production linked to the progress of the music B (special BGM)), and the production displayed on the image display device 5 and the movement are movable. It can also be directed to the effect of operating the body 22TM100, and the interest of the specific branch effect (third effect) as a whole using a plurality of types of effect devices can be improved.

(6-2) Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-8 (2-2), (2-5) to (2-7), and 8-10 (3-4A). , The execution period of the specific branch effect (second effect, third effect) is the effect image (first effect image, second effect image, third effect image, flame effect image) regardless of the presence or absence of playback output of music B. (Large)) is displayed, and the blinking effect is executed in response to the playback output of the sound effects (first stage sound effects excluding failure sound effects, second stage sound effects, success sound effects). On the other hand, as described above, during the jackpot game, the progress of the music B (special BGM) and the light emitting mode of the game effect lamp 9 (the mode of the light emitting effect) are linked, and the music B is linked during the jackpot game. When the (special BGM) shifts to the small chorus, the lighting effect is switched to the blinking effect, and when the music B (special BGM) shifts to the large chorus during the big hit game, the blinking effect is switched to the blinking effect.

According to such a configuration, during the big hit game, the progress of the music B (special BGM) and the blinking effect are linked, and the music B (special BGM) and the blinking effect are related. On the other hand, during the execution period of the specific branch effect (second effect, third effect), when the effect image is displayed, it blinks corresponding to the playback output of the sound effect different from the music B (special BGM). Since the effect is executed, the blinking effect is linked to the effect image displayed on the image display device 5 instead of the music B (special BGM) (blinking effect and image display device using the game effect lamp 9). It is possible to impress the player with the effect image displayed in 5), and the interest of the specific branching effect (second effect, third effect) as a whole using multiple types of effect devices can be enjoyed. Can be improved.

(7) In the above embodiment, when the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern based on the determination result at the start winning (or the determination result at the start of the variation), (i) after determining the first half of the variation pattern. , (Ii) An example was described in which the latter half of the fluctuation pattern was determined based on the first half of the determined fluctuation pattern, and the first half of the determined fluctuation pattern and the second half of the determined fluctuation pattern were combined to form a fluctuation pattern. .. Not limited to such a form, when the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern based on the determination result at the start winning prize (or the determination result at the start of the variation), (i) after determining the latter half of the variation pattern, (Ii) The first half of the fluctuation pattern may be determined based on the first half of the determined fluctuation pattern, and the first half of the determined fluctuation pattern and the second half of the determined fluctuation pattern may be combined to form a fluctuation pattern.

In such a configuration, for example, when the CPU 103 determines the fluctuation pattern based on the determination result at the time of starting winning is "big hit", (i) MR3-2 and FIG. 8-5 (B2). [For big hit] After determining the latter half of the fluctuation pattern as "Super Reach C jackpot (Y14)" based on the fluctuation pattern [second half] judgment table, (ii) MR3-1 and the fluctuation pattern [first half] judgment The first half of the fluctuation pattern may be determined as "with development suggestion effect (success mode) (X02)" based on the table. In this case, since only the first half of the fluctuation pattern "with development suggestion effect (success mode) (X02)" is associated with the latter half of the fluctuation pattern "super reach C jackpot (Y14)", in (ii), The first half of the fluctuation pattern is determined to be "with development suggestion effect (success mode) (X02)".

As shown in FIG. 8-31, when "development suggestion effect (recovery success mode) (X04)" is provided as the first half of the fluctuation pattern, (i) MR3-2 and FIG. After determining the latter half of the fluctuation pattern as "Super Reach C jackpot (Y14)" based on the [for jackpot] fluctuation pattern [second half] determination table of 8-5 (B2), (ii) MR3-1 Fluctuation pattern [first half] The first half of the variation pattern is determined to be "with development suggestion effect (success mode) (X02)" or "with development suggestion effect (revival success mode) (X04)" based on the determination table. In this case, in the latter half of the fluctuation pattern "Super Reach C jackpot (Y14)", the first half of the fluctuation pattern "with development suggestion effect (success mode) (X02)" and the first half of the fluctuation pattern "with development suggestion effect (successful resurrection)" In (ii), the first half of the fluctuation pattern is "with development suggestion effect (success mode) (X02)" or "with development suggestion effect (revival success mode)" (X04) because it is associated with "aspect) (X04)". ) ”.

In addition, when the judgment result at the time of starting winning is "out of reach", it is possible to select a "non-reach out of reach" variation pattern [second half] such that the variation time of the variation pattern [second half] is 0 seconds. You may have sex. For example, when the number of reserved memories is changed from 3 to 4, it is judged as "missing" in the judgment at the time of starting winning, or in the judgment at the time of starting winning in the time saving state (high base state), it is judged as "missing". In this case, a “non-reach off” fluctuation pattern [second half] may be selected so that the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern [second half] is 0 seconds.

(8) In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-7, an example is shown in which the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is started at the timing when the development suggestion effect is started. The reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) may be started from a time before the timing when the development suggestion production is started (for example, the timing when the start prize is won), and the development suggestion production is started. The reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) may be started from a time after the timing (for example, 5 seconds before the timing when the target fluctuation is started).

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-8, the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is temporarily stopped in response to the transition from the first production to the second production, and the second production is performed. In response to the shift from to the third production, the playback output of the music B (special BGM) is resumed, and immediately before the transition to the latter half of the third production, the playback output of the music B (special BGM) is resumed. If it is stopped and then the success mode is achieved in the latter half of the third production, the playback output of the music B (special BGM) is restarted (the playback output of the music B (special BGM) continues). If a failure occurs in the latter half of the third production, the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) ends.

Not limited to such a form, the effect control CPU 120 may continue the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) from the start of the first effect to the first half of the third effect without interruption. Then, if the success mode is achieved in the latter half of the third production, the reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) is further continued (as a result, from the start of the first production to the latter half of the third production). , The playback output of the music B (special BGM) continues without interruption), but if the failure mode occurs in the latter half of the third production, the playback output of the music B (special BGM) is terminated. You may.

(9) In the above embodiment, after the link image is displayed at the lower right of the screen in the first effect, the first effect image and the second effect are located at the same position where the link image is displayed in the second effect. After the effect image is displayed and the third effect image is displayed in the center of the screen, in the first half of the third effect (the timing when the development suggestion effect changes to the success mode or the failure mode), the third effect is displayed at the edge of the screen. An example in which 4 effect images are displayed is shown. Here, the first effect image, the second effect image, the third effect image, and the fourth effect image all correspond to objects in which the shape of the link image has changed.

Not limited to such a form, after the link image is displayed at the lower right of the screen in the first effect, the link image having the same shape and size as that of the first effect is continuously displayed at the lower right of the screen in the second effect. Is displayed, and in the first half of the third effect (timing when the development suggestion effect changes to the success mode or the failure mode), the link image changes to a link image having a shape and a different size different from those at the time of the first effect. The visibility of other production images including the decorative pattern and the background image may be changed accordingly.

For example, in the first effect, a bar-shaped crystal link image is displayed at the lower right of the screen, and in the second effect, the bar-shaped crystal link image is continuously displayed at the lower right of the screen, and the first half of the third effect ( At the timing when the development suggestion effect changes to the success mode or the failure mode), the rod-shaped crystal displayed at the lower right of the screen moves to the center of the screen, and then the moved rod-shaped crystal is gradually expanded. As a result, the visibility of other production images including the decorative pattern and the background image may be reduced.

Further, in the first half of the third effect (timing when the development suggestion effect changes to the success or failure mode) or the second half of the third effect (timing when the development suggestion effect changes to the success or failure mode), at the center of the screen. The enlarged rod-shaped crystal breaks and changes its shape into a large number of large-grained crystals, and the large-grained crystals (crystals after the shape change) are arranged in a frame shape along the edge of the screen, and the center of the screen. The character may be displayed in.

Further, for example, in the first effect, a green link image is displayed at the lower right of the screen, and in the second effect, the green effect image centered on the lower right of the screen (that is, the same as the link image displayed at the same position). After the display color (effect image that inherits the display mode of the link image) is displayed, the first half of the third effect (timing when the development suggestion effect changes to the success mode or the failure mode) or the second half of the third effect. In the part (timing when the development suggestion effect changes to the success mode or the failure mode), the green effect image is enlarged over the entire screen so that the visibility of other effect images including the decorative pattern and the background image is reduced. You may.

(10) In the above embodiment, the execution period of the development suggestion effect (including the playback output period of the music B (special BGM)) shows an example in which the voice notice effect is not executed, but the present invention is not limited to this form. , The voice notice effect may be executed even during the execution period of the development suggestion effect. For example, during the execution period of the development suggestion effect, among multiple types of voice advance notice effects, a voice advance notice effect in which the character voice of a special character is reproduced and output, and a voice advance notice effect in which a big hit is confirmed by being reproduced and output (big hit). (Voice advance notice effect with the highest expectation) may be executed, and other types of voice advance notice effect may not be executed. Further, the execution period of the development suggestion effect (including the reproduction output period of the music B (special BGM)) is larger than the period when the development suggestion effect is not executed (the period when the music B (special BGM) is not reproduced and output). The voice notice effect may be executed at a low rate (for example, a rate of 20%).

[Apply to slot machines]
(11) In the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is exemplified as a gaming machine capable of reproducing and outputting music B (special BGM) in association with the execution of the development suggestion effect (specific suggestion effect, specific branch effect). The gaming machine capable of reproducing and outputting the music B (special BGM) along with the execution of the suggestion effect (specific suggestion effect, specific branch effect) is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 1, and may be a slot machine.

In the slot machine, it is possible to execute a precursor effect that suggests that it is controlled to an advantageous state (big hit game state (bonus), AT state, which will be described later, etc.) and a specific branch effect that suggests that the precursor effect is executed. It is assumed that the music B (special BGM) can be reproduced and output along with the execution of the specific branching effect.

The AT game state in the slot machine is a game state controlled by the main control unit, and is an assist time that is a notification period during which a navigation effect for notifying information (operation procedure, etc.) according to the internal lottery result can be executed. To say.

In the slot machine, it is assumed that the precursor effect is executed after the specific branch effect [success mode] is executed, while the precursor effect is not executed after the specific branch effect [failure mode] is executed. At this time, when the development suggestion effect [success mode] is executed, the music B (special BGM) is continuously reproduced and output, the precursor effect is executed, and the development suggestion effect [failure mode] is executed. The reproduction output of the music B (special BGM) may be terminated and the precursor effect may not be executed.

Further, in the slot machine, it is possible to execute the specific suggestion effect suggesting the execution expectation of the precursor effect by displaying the link images having different display modes in a predetermined area of the screen before executing the specific branch effect. At this time, at the timing of executing the specific branch effect, the first effect image related to the mode (display color) of the link image displayed in the screen predetermined area of the image display device 5 until immediately before is set on the screen of the image display device 5. It may be displayed in the area. Further, when executing the specific branching effect, the link image may be changed to an effect image which is an object having a shape different from that of the link image and is related to the mode (display color) of the link image and displayed. ..

The above-described embodiment includes a configuration of a gaming machine according to each of the following means.

The gaming machine of means 1 is
It is a gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 1) that can execute variable display (variable display) and control it to an advantageous state (big hit game state) that is advantageous to the player.
Equipped with an effect execution means (CPU 120 for effect control) capable of executing the effect.
The effect executing means is
A predetermined effect (super reach C (battle C effect)) suggesting that the control is controlled to the advantageous state, and
It is possible to execute a predetermined suggestion effect (development suggestion effect (first effect, second effect, third effect)) that suggests that the predetermined effect is executed.
The predetermined suggestion effect is executed over a plurality of variable displays based on the establishment of a predetermined condition (determination result at the time of starting winning).
As the modes of the predetermined suggestion effect, a first aspect (a common effect mode from the first effect to the first half of the third effect in the development suggestion effect) and a second aspect (in the second half of the third effect) that changes from the first aspect. There are a third mode (a failure mode) and a third mode (success mode in the latter half of the third production), which is a mode that changes from the first mode and has a higher rate of execution of the predetermined effect than the second mode.
