The general winning opening is also called the ordinary winning opening.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low probability state and a high probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low probability state. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability change state)", and the low probability state is a "non-probability fluctuation state (non-probability change state)". In the following description, the high-probability state is referred to as a "probability-changing state", and the low-probability state is referred to as a "non-probability-changing state". Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of fired game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 27 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electric support state", and the low base state is the "non-electric support state".

The high base state can be realized, for example, by performing a control of one arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the case of the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol that changes the probability of winning the ordinary winning lottery (ordinary winning probability) with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game longer than in the low base state. The opening time extension control includes a control that increases the number of times the first variable member 28 is opened in one normal hit game more than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in the normal hit game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of the above longer than that in the low base state. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the special symbol that makes it easier for the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) to be shorter than in the low base state. When the fluctuation time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state becomes the so-called "variation time shortening state (variation shortening state)".

In the present embodiment, since the first variable member 28 may be in the open state even in the low base state, there is a possibility that the game ball enters the second starting port 27 even in the low base state. There is. However, when the base is low, for example, the first variable member 28 is not opened when the base is low, and the game is played at the second starting port 27. It may be configured so that the ball does not enter. In addition, when the base is in a low base state, for example, the first variable member 28 is configured not to be in the open state even if the normal winning lottery is won so that the game ball does not enter the second starting port 27. It may be configured as. In the case of the above configuration, the low base state means that the game ball cannot enter the second starting port 27, and the high base state means that the game ball can enter the second starting port 27. I can say.

The gaming state (type of gaming state) includes a non-probability state and a low base state, a non-probability state and a high base state, and a probabilistic state and a low base state. There is a certain gaming state and a gaming state which is a probabilistic state and is a high base state. Then, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to one of a plurality of types of gaming states. In the present embodiment, as a general rule, there are a gaming state that is a non-probable change state and a low base state, a gaming state that is a non-probable change state and is a high base state, and a probable change state and a high base state. It is controlled to a gaming state and one of the gaming states.

Next, the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as jackpot symbols of special symbols. The plurality of types of jackpot symbols are classified into a first jackpot symbol and a second jackpot symbol. Each type of jackpot is defined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. The jackpot symbol may define the game state after the jackpot game is completed. In the jackpot game, first, an opening effect is performed to notify the start of the jackpot game over a predetermined opening period. In the big hit game, a round game in which the big winning opening 29 is opened is performed after the opening production is completed. The round game is performed up to a predetermined maximum number of times. In one round game, the large winning opening 29 is until the first round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or the second round end condition in which the predetermined upper limit time elapses is satisfied. It will be open for a while. In the round game, a round effect is performed. Then, in the jackpot game, when the final round game is completed, an ending effect is performed to notify the end of the jackpot game over a predetermined ending period. The jackpot game ends with the end of the ending effect.

In the jackpot symbols classified into the first jackpot symbol, "first jackpot" is defined as the type of jackpot. For the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbol, "10 times" is set as the maximum number of round games. The jackpot symbol classified into the first jackpot symbol is defined to be in a probabilistic state as the game state after the end of the jackpot game. The jackpot symbol classified into the first jackpot symbol is defined to have a high base state as the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game. In the jackpot symbols classified into the second jackpot symbol, "second jackpot" is defined as the type of jackpot. For the jackpot symbols classified as the second jackpot symbol, "8 times" is set as the maximum number of round games. The jackpot symbol classified into the second jackpot symbol is defined to be in a non-probability changing state as the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game. In addition, the jackpot symbol classified as the second jackpot symbol has a jackpot as a game state after the end of the jackpot game until the end of 100 special games or before the end of 100 special games. It is stipulated that the base state will be high until the game is granted.

Further, in the display effect that can be executed by the effect display device 25 in the present embodiment, the effect symbols (hereinafter referred to as effect symbols) are variably displayed in a plurality of columns, and finally the combination of the effect symbols is fixedly stopped and displayed. There is a production design game (hereinafter referred to as a production game) to be played. In the production game, a plurality of rows of production symbols are fluctuated and executed. The effect pattern is a pattern with decorations such as characters and patterns, and is for diversifying the display effect, and is also called a "decorative pattern" or a "decorative pattern". The effect game in the present embodiment is performed by displaying (scrolling) the symbol rows (effect symbol rows) of the first row, the second row, and the third row in the vertical direction. In the following description, the "first column" is referred to as the "left column", the "first symbol" is indicated as the "left symbol", the "second column" is indicated as the "middle column", and the "second symbol" is referred to as the "second symbol". The "middle symbol" is indicated, the "third column" is indicated as the "right column", and the "third symbol" is indicated as the "right symbol". In each column, in principle, the effect symbols imitating the numbers [1] to [8] are displayed in a variable order in a predetermined order.

The production game is performed in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the production game starts with the start of the special game and ends with the end of the special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the production game during the execution of the special game. Then, in the production game, the combination of the production symbols corresponding to the special symbols displayed in the special game is fixedly stopped and displayed. When the jackpot symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, the jackpot symbol by the directed symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the directed game. For example, the jackpot symbol by the effect symbol is a combination of symbols such as "777" in which the effect symbols in all rows are the same. Further, in the special game, when the out-of-order symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed, in the effect game, the out-of-order symbol by the effect symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. For example, the out-of-order symbol by the effect symbol is a combination of symbols such as "323", "112", and [426] in which at least a part of the effect symbols in a row is different from the effect symbols in the other row. In the production game, the production symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed before the final stop display is displayed. In the present specification, the "temporary stop display" means a state indicating that the symbol may be displayed in a fluctuating manner again, such as a "sway fluctuation state", or a state indicating that the symbol is different from the fixed stop display. ..

In the production game, a reach may be formed and a reach production may be performed. In the present embodiment, the effect symbols imitating the same number are temporarily stopped and displayed in a specific column (in the present embodiment, the left column and the right column) among the plurality of columns, and a column different from the specific column. The state in which the effect symbols in the (middle row in the present embodiment) are continuously displayed in a variable manner corresponds to the state in which the reach is formed. As the reach effect, for example, there may be a plurality of types of reach effects in which the movements of the characters to appear and the effect symbols are different. The reach effect in the present embodiment includes a normal reach effect and a super reach effect performed after the start of the normal reach effect. The super reach effect is executed, for example, with a content that develops the effect content of the normal reach effect. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the super reach effect is executed, the jackpot expectation of the special game being executed is higher than when only the normal reach effect is executed. There are a plurality of types of super reach effects that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10. Specifically, the super reach effect includes a first super reach effect executed with the first character as a motif, a second super reach effect executed with the second character as a motif, and a third character. There is a third super reach production that is executed with the motif of.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect mode. There are multiple types of production modes. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, one of a plurality of types of effect modes is executed. The production mode is also called the production state. The effect mode in the present embodiment includes a normal mode, a chance mode, and a high probability mode. The normal mode is an effect mode that is controlled when the game state is a non-probability change state and a low base state. The chance mode is an effect mode that is controlled in a gaming state that is in a non-probability state and a high base state. The high probability mode is an effect mode that is controlled in the gaming state, which is a probabilistic state and a high base state. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect mode controlled according to the gaming state is different. In each effect mode, mode identification information that can identify the effect mode (controlled effect mode) during the stay is notified. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a different background image is displayed on the effect display device 25 for each type of effect mode. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, the decorative lamp 17 is made to emit light with a different emission color for each type of production mode, or background music different for each type of production mode is output from the speaker 18, and the mode identification information is obtained. Is notified. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is not controlled to the gaming state which is the probabilistic state and the low base state, but when it is controlled to such a gaming state, for example, the above-mentioned effect mode It may be configured to be controlled in a different effect mode from the above, or may be configured to be controlled in a normal effect mode. In the present embodiment, an effect of displaying a background image different for each type of effect mode on the effect display device 25 corresponds to a specific notification effect. That is, in the present embodiment, the specific notification effect is an effect that can specify the effect mode. Then, in the present embodiment, the function as the effect notification means is realized by the effect display device 25 that displays different background images for each type of effect mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect that the effect notification means can execute includes the specific notification effect.

In the special symbol input process, the main CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has entered the start ports 26 and 27 based on whether or not the detection signals from the start sensors SE1 and SE2 have been input (hereinafter, input determination). Show). If the determination result of the input determination is negative, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the input determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a determines whether the special hold number stored in the main RWM40c is less than the upper limit number (hereinafter, referred to as a hold determination). If the determination result of the hold determination is negative, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a adds 1 to the special hold number and updates it. Further, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the number of special reservations after the update. The main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a hold number command) capable of specifying the updated special hold number in the output buffer. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in the next and subsequent interrupt processes. When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a acquires the random numbers generated in the main board 40, stores the random number information based on the acquired random numbers in the main RWM40c, and ends the special symbol input process. At this time, the main CPU 40a stores the random number information so that the storage order can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information in the main RWM40c, the execution is suspended until the execution condition of the special game is satisfied. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to suspend the execution of the special game. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. For example, the random numbers are random numbers used for the jackpot lottery (hereinafter referred to as jackpot judgment random numbers), random numbers used for determining the special symbol (hereinafter referred to as special symbol random numbers), and random numbers used for determining the fluctuation pattern (hereinafter referred to as fluctuations). These are random numbers (referred to as pattern random numbers) and random numbers used in the production lottery (hereinafter referred to as production judgment random numbers).

Next, the special symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether or not the execution condition of the special game is satisfied (hereinafter, referred to as execution determination). In the execution determination, the main CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when it is not in the jackpot game, in the special game, or in the interval between fluctuations. On the other hand, in the execution determination, the main CPU 40a makes a negative determination when any of the big hit game, the special game, and the interval between fluctuations. When the judgment result of the execution judgment is negative (when the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied), the main CPU 40a stores a standby command that can identify the standby state in the output buffer, and performs the special symbol start processing. finish. The standby command is configured to be stored in the output buffer each time the special symbol start processing is performed within the period from when the standby command is stored in the output buffer until the next special game is executed. May be good. In addition, the standby command is configured so that after the standby command is stored in the output buffer, it is not stored in the output buffer until the next special game is executed, and it is stored in the output buffer only once at the beginning of the standby state. It may be configured to be stored. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be controlled to the standby state when the variable game is not being executed and the jackpot game is not being granted. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be in a standby state when the symbol variation game is not being executed and the jackpot game is not being granted.

On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative (when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied), the main CPU 40a determines whether the number of special reservations stored in the main RWM 40c is 1 or more. Then, when the number of special reservations is 1 or more, the main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the number of special reservations stored in the main RWM40c to update. The main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated special hold number is displayed. Further, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a hold number command capable of specifying the special hold number after the update. Subsequently, the main CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first among the random number information from the main RWM40c. When the main CPU 40a reads out the earliest random number information, the first random number information is erased from the main RWM40c. Then, the main CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main ROM 40b. The jackpot determination value used in the jackpot lottery differs at least in part between the probabilistic state and the non-probability change state. After finishing the jackpot lottery, the main CPU 40a determines a special symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, and a fluctuation pattern. Specifically, when the jackpot lottery is won, the main CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number, and determines the jackpot fluctuation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the main CPU 40a performs the effect lottery based on the value of the effect determination random number. When the effect lottery is won, the main CPU 40a determines the outlier symbol, and determines the outlier reach variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the effect lottery is not won, the main CPU 40a determines the out-of-order symbol and determines the out-of-reach-less variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. After determining the special symbol and the variation pattern, the main CPU 40a indicates the determined special symbol as identifiable control information (hereinafter referred to as a symbol command) and the variation pattern as identifiable control information (hereinafter referred to as a variation pattern designation command). ) Is stored in the output buffer, and the special symbol start processing is terminated.

Then, when the special symbol start process is completed, the main CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main CPU 40a measures the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern elapses, the special symbol determined in the special symbol start processing is fixedly stopped and displayed. Further, when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing elapses, the main CPU 40a stores an end command for displaying a fixed stop display of the symbol combination by the effect symbol in the output buffer. Further, the main CPU 40a sets an interval between fluctuations (for example, 2 seconds) after the special symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed, that is, after the end of the special game. In the interval between fluctuations, the special symbol that has been fixedly stopped and displayed with the end of the special game continues to be fixedly stopped and displayed.

Next, the jackpot processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a specifies the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol determined in the special symbol start process. Then, after the end of the big hit special game, the main CPU 40a starts the control of giving the specified big hit game. Specifically, the main CPU 40a starts the control of giving the jackpot game after the end of the jackpot special game and after the interval between fluctuations elapses. The main CPU 40a grants a jackpot game by executing a jackpot process. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot game is given after winning the jackpot. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a big hit is won in the big hit lottery, the big hit game is given after the end of the symbol variation game.

When the big hit special game ends, the main CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. Further, when the main CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer, the main CPU 40a clocks the opening time. Further, when the opening time elapses, the main CPU 40a performs a process for executing the round game. That is, the main CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so as to open the big winning opening 29 according to the opening mode (opening pattern) set for the big hit game, and starts the round game. After starting the round game, the main CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the large winning opening 29 is closed when the first round end condition or the second round end condition is satisfied, and ends the round game. .. The main CPU 40a repeats the process for executing the round game until the maximum number of round games specified in the jackpot game is completed. Further, the main CPU 40a stores the round command in the output buffer each time the round game is started. Further, the main CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer when the final round game is completed. When the main CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer, the main CPU 40a clocks the ending time. Then, when the ending time elapses, the main CPU 40a ends the jackpot game.

Next, the game state processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a specifies the gaming state after the jackpot game ends based on the jackpot symbol (that is, the type of jackpot) determined in the special symbol start processing. When the main CPU 40a specifies to control to the non-probability change state, a value that can be specified to control to the non-probability change state is set in the probability state flag stored in the main RWM40c with the end of the big hit game. .. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a low probability state command) that can identify the non-probability change state in the output buffer. Further, when the main CPU 40a specifies that the probability change state is to be controlled, the probability state flag is set to a value that can be specified to be controlled to the probability change state with the end of the big hit game. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high probability state command) that can identify the probabilistic state in the output buffer.

When the main CPU 40a specifies that the control to the high base state is specified, a value that can be specified to control the high base state is set in the base state flag with the end of the big hit game. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high base state command) that can identify the high base state in the output buffer. The main CPU 40a stores "100 times" corresponding to the upper limit number of times of the special game controlled to the high base state in the main RWM 40c as the remaining number of times of the special game controlled to the high base state. Each time the special game is executed, the main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the "remaining number of times of the special game controlled to the high base state" stored in the main RWM40c. When the "remaining number of special games controlled to the high base state" becomes 0, the main CPU 40a becomes low with the end of the special game in which the "remaining number of special games controlled to the high base state" becomes 0. Set the base state flag to a value that can be identified as controlling the base state. That is, the main CPU 40a terminates the high base state and shifts to the low base state. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a low base state command) that can identify the low base state in the output buffer.

In addition, when the big hit game is given, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to be controlled to the non-probability change state in the probability state flag, and sets a value that can be specified to control to the low base state as the base state. Set to flag. Further, the main CPU 40a stores the low probability state command in the output buffer and stores the low base state command in the output buffer.

Next, a normal symbol input process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has passed (entered) the gate 31 based on whether or not the detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 31, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 31, the main CPU 40a determines whether the normal hold number stored in the main RWM 40c is less than the upper limit number. When the normal hold number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. When the normal hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a updates by adding 1 to the normal hold number stored in the main RWM40c. In this case, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated normal hold number. Further, the main CPU 40a stores a normal hold number command capable of specifying the updated normal hold number in the output buffer. Next, the main CPU 40a acquires the random numbers generated in the main board 40, and stores the random number information based on the acquired random numbers in the main RWM40c. In this case, the main CPU 40a stores the random number information for a normal game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. After that, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether or not the execution conditions of the normal game are satisfied. The main CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when neither the normal hit game nor the normal game is in progress, while the main CPU 40a makes a negative judgment when the normal hit game is in progress or the normal game is in progress. If the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main CPU 40a determines whether the normal hold number stored in the main RWM 40c is 1 or more. When the normal number of pending numbers is not 1 or more, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the normal hold number is 1 or more, the main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the normal hold number stored in the main RWM 40c to update. Further, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated normal hold number is displayed. The main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a normal hold number command that can specify the normal hold number after the update. Next, the main CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main RWM40c among the random number information for the normal game. When the main CPU 40a reads out the earliest random number information, the first random number information is erased from the main RWM40c. Subsequently, the main CPU 40a performs a normal hit lottery based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main ROM 40b. Then, the main CPU 40a determines the normal symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game based on the lottery result of the normal hit lottery. After that, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

Then, the main CPU 40a executes a normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main CPU 40a starts the normal game, and when the fluctuation time determined in the normal symbol start process elapses, the information display is performed so that the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is fixedly stopped and displayed. Control the panel 22. Further, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer control information that can identify that the execution of the normal game is started when the execution of the normal game is started.

Next, the normal hit processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
When the normal winning lottery is won, the main CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 27 when the normal game ends, and the first actuator so that the second starting port 27 is opened according to the opening pattern. Control A1. In the present embodiment, it is easier to win the normal winning lottery when the high base state is used than when the low base state is used. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured so that the normal winning lottery can be won even in the low base state, and when the normal winning lottery is won, the first variable member 28 is in the open state. Become. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting port 27 as compared with the case of the high base state, but the game ball enters the second starting port 27. There is a possibility of a ball.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 41a based on the control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 41a inputs a low probability state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can be identified as a non-probability change state in the probability state flag stored in the sub RWM 41c. When the sub CPU 41a inputs a high probability state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the probability change state in the probability state flag stored in the sub RWM 41c. The sub CPU 41a can specify whether or not it is in the probabilistic state by referring to the probability state flag of the sub RWM 41c. Further, when the sub CPU 41a inputs a low base state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the low base state in the base state flag stored in the sub RWM 41c. When the sub CPU 41a inputs a high base state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the high base state in the base state flag stored in the sub RWM 41c. The sub CPU 41a can identify whether it is in a high base state by referring to the base state flag of the sub RWM 41c.

The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the jackpot effect is performed during the jackpot game. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the opening effect is performed when the opening command is input. Further, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the round effect is performed when a round command is input. Further, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed when the ending command is input. The content of the jackpot effect may be different depending on the type of jackpot.

Further, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect game is played. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a controls to execute the effect game when a symbol command and a variation pattern designation command are input. Based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command, the sub CPU 41a determines the symbol combination according to the effect symbol that is finally fixedly stopped and displayed in the effect game. When the sub CPU 41a specifies the jackpot symbol from the input symbol command, the sub CPU 41a determines the jackpot symbol by the effect symbol. When the sub CPU 41a specifies the out-of-order symbol from the input symbol command, the sub CPU 41a determines the out-of-order symbol according to the effect symbol. For example, when the sub CPU 41a specifies a variation pattern with reach from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a determines a combination of symbols that are out of reach including reach. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 41a specifies the non-reach variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a determines the outlier symbol combination that does not include the reach.

Further, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the variation display of the effect symbol is started when the variation pattern designation command is input. The sub CPU 41a starts the effect game by controlling to start the variable display of the first effect symbol during the execution of the special game. Further, when executing the normal reach effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the normal reach effect is executed. Similarly, when executing the super reach effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the super reach effect is executed. Then, the sub CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination according to the determined effect symbol at a predetermined stop timing. After that, the sub CPU 41a displays the symbol combination by the effect symbol as a fixed stop display when the end command is input. The sub CPU 41a may time the fluctuation time that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern, and display the symbol combination as a fixed stop display when the fluctuation time elapses, regardless of the end command. In this case, the end command may be omitted.

Next, the control related to the effect mode performed by the sub CPU 41a will be described.
The sub CPU 41a controls the effect mode. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a controls the high probability mode after the end of the first big hit game. On the other hand, the sub CPU 41a controls the chance mode after the end of the second big hit game. Further, the sub CPU 41a controls the normal effect mode when the high base state ends without winning the big hit lottery (when the state shifts from the high base state to the low base state). For example, the sub CPU 41a causes the effect display device 25 to display a background image corresponding to the effect mode during the stay, and controls the effect mode during the stay. As described above, in the present embodiment, the function as the effect mode control means capable of controlling the effect mode is realized by performing the control related to the effect mode by the sub CPU 41a.

Next, the control related to the volume adjustment performed by the sub CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-RWM41c stores information (hereinafter, referred to as volume information) that can specify the set volume stage among the stages that can be set as the volume. Then, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 so as to execute the sound effect at a volume at a stage that can be specified from the volume information. Further, when the detection signal from the upper button UB is input and the volume level that can be specified from the volume information does not reach the upper limit, the sub CPU 41a raises the volume step by one, and after the rise, Update the volume level to identifiable volume information. Similarly, when the detection signal from the lower button DB is input and the volume level that can be specified from the volume information does not reach the lower limit, the sub CPU 41a lowers the volume step by one, and after the lowering. Update the volume level of to identifiable volume information. Further, when the volume information is updated, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 so as to output the volume adjustment sound.

Next, the control related to the standby state performed by the sub CPU 41a will be described.
The sub CPU 41a controls to enter the first standby state when a standby command is input. The sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to temporarily stop and display the effect symbol, and puts it in the first standby state. Further, when the first standby time elapses after the first standby state is reached, the sub CPU 41a is controlled so as to be in the second standby state. The sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to execute the customer waiting effect, and sets the second standby state. For example, the sub CPU 41a causes the effect display device 25 to display the attention-calling image CH corresponding to the warning-call regarding the immersiveness, and causes the effect display device 25 to execute the caution-calling regarding the immersiveness. Incidentally, when the second standby time elapses after the second standby state is entered, the sub CPU 41a is controlled so as to be in the first standby state. At this time, the sub CPU 41a updates the initial volume information and initializes the volume. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the volume is adjusted by operating at least one of the up button UB and the down button DB, the volume is initialized in accordance with the second standby state. .. That is, in the present embodiment, when the volume is adjusted by the operation of the volume adjusting operation means, the volume is initialized when the second standby state is entered.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be capable of executing an effect using the operation button BT.
As shown in FIG. 4, the effects using the operation button BT that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 include a character appearance effect, a challenge effect, a power-up effect, a selection effect, a blow effect, and a standby effect. And are included. The character appearance effect, challenge effect, power-up effect, and selection effect are executed before the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. That is, when the reach effect is executed, the character appearance effect, the challenge effect, the power-up effect, and the select effect are executed before the execution of the reach effect is started. The blow effect is performed during the execution of the super reach effect. That is, the blow effect is executed after the execution of the reach effect is started. Further, the standby effect is executed when the second standby state is in effect. Further, when the character appearance effect, the challenge effect, the power-up effect, the selection effect, and the blow effect are executed, the effect display device 25 executes an operation promotion effect that prompts the operation of the operation button BT. On the other hand, when the standby effect is executed, the operation promotion effect is not executed on the effect display device 25. Hereinafter, various effects will be described.

First, the character appearance effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c).
In the character appearance effect, it is required to operate the operation button BT only once. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the character appearance effect is executed, the first operation promotion image S1 including the character information of "press!" And prompting the operation of the operation button BT is displayed on the effect display device 25. It is displayed and the operation promotion effect is executed. If the operation button BT is operated within the operation valid period (4 seconds in this embodiment) that can accept the operation of the operation button BT related to the character appearance effect after the execution of the operation promotion effect is started, the character appears. The result of the production is derived. Hereinafter, the operation valid period during which the operation of the operation button BT related to the character appearance effect can be accepted may be referred to as the appearance effect acceptance period. The appearance effect reception period is a part of the execution period of the special game that enables the result of the character appearance effect to be derived. The first operation promotion image S1 is displayed on the effect display device 25 during the appearance effect reception period. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the expected degree of jackpot is suggested by the result derived in the character appearance effect. That is, in the character appearance effect, the result suggesting the jackpot expectation is derived when the operation button BT is operated within the appearance effect reception period.

There are a plurality of types of results for the character appearance effect. Specifically, the result of the character appearance effect includes a result in which one character appears, a result in which two characters appear, and a result in which three characters appear. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the result derived in the character appearance effect is determined based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result of three characters appearing in the character appearance effect is derived, or when the result of one character appearing or the result of two characters appearing in the character appearance effect is derived. In comparison, the jackpot expectation is high. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result of two characters appearing in the character appearance effect is derived, the jackpot expectation is higher than the case where the result of one character appearing in the character appearance effect is derived. It is configured to be high degree. For example, it is assumed that the execution of the character appearance effect is started and the operation button BT is operated within the operation valid period in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the character appearance effect can be accepted. At this time, when the "result of the appearance of three characters" was derived as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the "result of the appearance of one character" was derived as shown in FIG. 5 (b). It is suggested that the expectation for the big hit is higher than the occasion, and the expectation for the big hit is high.

In the present embodiment, the character appearance effect corresponds to the first effect, and the result of the character appearance effect corresponds to the first result suggesting the jackpot expectation. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation valid period (appearance effect reception period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the character appearance effect can be received corresponds to the first reception period. Therefore, in the first embodiment, in the first effect, when the operation means is operated within the first reception period in which the operation of the operation means related to the first effect can be received, the first effect suggesting the jackpot expectation degree. The result is configured to be derived. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a first effect as an effect that can be executed by the effect execution means.

In the present embodiment, deriving the result of the character appearance effect corresponds to the execution of the first operation effect. Further, since the result of the character appearance effect is determined based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery, in the present embodiment, the first operation effect is executed in relation to the lottery result of the big hit lottery. Then, in the present embodiment, the operation valid period (appearance effect acceptance period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the character appearance effect can be accepted corresponds to the first operation acceptance period. In the present embodiment, since the appearance effect reception period is a part of the execution period of the special game that enables the result of the character appearance effect to be derived, the first operation reception period executes the first operation effect. It is a part of the execution period of the symbol variation game that is possible. In the present embodiment, the first operation effect is executed when the operation means is operated within the first operation acceptance period in which the operation of the operation means related to the first operation effect can be received. There is. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a first operation effect as an effect that can be executed by the effect execution means.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result of the character appearance effect is derived, the appearance effect acceptance period ends. For example, if the result of the character appearance effect is derived 2 seconds after the appearance effect acceptance period, the appearance effect acceptance period ends, and as a result, the appearance effect acceptance period becomes 2 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the appearance production reception period of 4 seconds can be said to be the upper limit time of the appearance production reception period.

Next, the challenge effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (e).
In the challenge effect, it is required to continuously operate the operation button BT (hereinafter referred to as continuous striking). As shown in FIG. 6A, when the challenge effect is executed, the second operation promotion image S2 including the character information of "continuous hit!" And prompting the continuous hit of the operation button BT is displayed on the effect display device 25. And the operation promotion effect is executed. After the execution of the operation promotion effect is started, the operation button BT is repeatedly hit within the operation valid period (6 seconds in this embodiment) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the challenge effect can be accepted. The result of the challenge production is derived after the continuous hit precursor production. Hereinafter, the operation valid period during which the operation of the operation button BT related to the challenge effect can be accepted may be referred to as the challenge effect acceptance period. The challenge production acceptance period is a part of the execution period of the special game that enables the result of the challenge production to be derived. The second operation promotion image S2 is displayed on the effect display device 25 during the challenge effect reception period. When the challenge effect is executed, the effect display device 25 displays a gauge Ge composed of a plurality of squares. There are a plurality of stages (for example, 10 stages) in the display mode of the gauge Ge, from the display mode of the initial stage showing the empty state to the display mode of the highest stage in which the color tone of all the squares is changed. Then, when the operation button BT is repeatedly hit within the challenge effect reception period, the display mode of the gauge Ge changes from the display mode of the initial stage shown in FIG. 6 (a) to the display mode of the intermediate stage shown in FIG. 6 (b). Gradually changes toward the highest stage display mode shown in FIG. 6 (c). In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect of displaying the gauge Ge corresponds to the effect of a sign of repeated hits. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured so that when the reach effect is executed, the display mode of the gauge Ge in the challenge effect can reach the highest stage display mode. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the reach effect is not executed, the display mode of the gauge Ge in the challenge effect is configured to be unreachable to the highest stage display mode.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the result derived in the challenge effect suggests whether or not the reach effect is executed thereafter. There are multiple types of results for the challenge production. Specifically, the results of the challenge effect include the result of disappointing the character with the character information of "remorse" shown in FIG. 6 (d) and the result of the character being pleased with the character information of "development" shown in FIG. 6 (e). And there is. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a result that the character is pleased with is derived together with the character information of "development" in the challenge production, it is suggested that the reach production is executed after that. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, if a result of disappointment of the character is derived together with the character information of "remorse" in the challenge production, it is suggested that the reach production is not executed thereafter.

In the present embodiment, the challenge effect corresponds to the special effect, and the continuous hit precursor effect corresponds to the special precursor effect. Further, in the present embodiment, the result of the challenge effect corresponds to a predetermined result derived in the special effect. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation valid period (challenge effect acceptance period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the challenge effect can be accepted corresponds to the special acceptance period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the special effect, a predetermined result is derived after the special precursor effect is performed when the operation means is continuously operated within the special reception period in which the operation of the operation means related to the special effect can be received. It is configured to be. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a special effect as an effect that can be executed by the effect execution means.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result of the challenge effect is derived, the challenge effect acceptance period ends. For example, if the result of the challenge effect is derived 5 seconds after the challenge effect acceptance period is reached, the challenge effect acceptance period ends, and as a result, the challenge effect acceptance period becomes 5 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the challenge production reception period of 6 seconds can be said to be the upper limit time of the challenge production reception period.

Next, the power-up effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (c).
In the power-up effect, it is required to press and hold the operation button BT for a long time. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the power-up effect is executed, the third operation promotion image S3 including the character information of "long press!" And prompting the long press of the operation button BT is the effect display device. It is displayed on 25, and the operation promotion effect is executed. Further, when the power-up effect is executed, the character with closed eyes is displayed on the effect display device 25. After the execution of the operation promotion effect is started, the operation button BT is pressed and held within the operation valid period (8 seconds in this embodiment) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the power-up effect can be accepted. In addition, the result of the power-up effect is derived after the long press precursor effect. Hereinafter, the operation valid period during which the operation of the operation button BT related to the power-up effect can be accepted may be referred to as the power-up effect acceptance period. The power-up effect acceptance period is a part of the execution period of the special game that enables the result of the power-up effect to be derived. The third operation promotion image S3 is displayed on the effect display device 25 during the power-up effect reception period. When the power-up effect is executed, the effect image EF is displayed on the effect display device 25. The display mode of the effect image EF includes an initial stage display mode based on white, an intermediate stage display mode based on blue, an intermediate stage display mode based on green, and red as the base color. There is the highest level of display mode. Then, when the operation button BT is long-pressed within the power-up effect reception period, the display mode of the effect image EF moves from the display mode of the initial stage to the display mode of the highest stage while passing through the display mode of the intermediate stage. It changes gradually. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect of displaying the effect image EF corresponds to a long-press precursor effect. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured so that when the super reach effect is executed, the display mode of the effect image EF in the power-up effect can reach the highest stage display mode. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the super reach effect is not executed, the display mode of the effect image EF in the power-up effect cannot reach the highest stage display mode. When the super reach effect is executed, the character displayed on the effect display device 25 when the power-up effect is executed becomes a character corresponding to the subsequent super reach effect. For example, when the first super reach effect is executed, the first character is displayed on the effect display device 25 in the power-up effect.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the result derived in the power-up effect suggests whether or not the subsequent super reach effect is executed. There are multiple types of results for power-up effects. Specifically, in the result of the power-up effect, the character is disappointed with the character information of "failure" shown in FIG. 7 (b) and the character is pleased with the character information of "success" shown in FIG. 7 (c). There are results and. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a result that the character is pleased with is derived together with the character information of "success" in the power-up effect, it is suggested that the super reach effect is executed after that. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, if a result of disappointment of the character is derived together with the character information of "failure" in the power-up effect, it is suggested that the super reach effect is not executed thereafter.

In the present embodiment, the power-up effect corresponds to the special effect, and the long press precursor effect corresponds to the special precursor effect. Further, in the present embodiment, the result of the power-up effect corresponds to a predetermined result derived in the special effect. In the present embodiment, the predetermined result derived in the power-up effect corresponding to the special effect is different from the predetermined result derived in the challenge effect corresponding to the special effect. Since the results derived from the challenge production and the power-up production are different, it is possible to focus on each production and improve the interest. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation valid period (power-up effect reception period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the power-up effect can be received corresponds to the special reception period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the special effect, a predetermined result is derived after the special precursor effect is performed when the operation means is long-pressed within the special reception period during which the operation of the operation means related to the special effect can be received. It is configured to be. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a special effect as an effect that can be executed by the effect execution means.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result of the power-up effect is derived, the power-up effect acceptance period ends. For example, if the result of the power-up effect is derived 5 seconds after the power-up effect acceptance period is reached, the power-up effect acceptance period ends, and as a result, the power-up effect acceptance period becomes 5 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the power-up effect reception period of 8 seconds can be said to be the upper limit time of the power-up effect reception period.

Next, the selection effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c).
In the selection effect, it is required to select the type of super reach effect by operating the operation button BT. As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c), when the selection effect is executed, the fourth operation that includes the character information of "press the button and select the reach!" And prompts the operation of the operation button BT. The promotion image S4 is displayed on the effect display device 25, and the operation promotion effect is executed. In the selection effect, options are presented. Specifically, when the selection effect is executed, the effect display device 25 has a first option CS1 corresponding to the first super reach effect, a second option CS2 corresponding to the second super reach effect, and a second option. The third option CS3 corresponding to the super reach effect of 3 is displayed. Further, during the execution of the selection effect, the effect display device 25 displays the selected image CC in association with the selected option. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the operation button BT is operated during the operation valid period (8 seconds in the present embodiment) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the selection effect can be accepted after the execution of the selection effect is started. You can change the selected option. Hereinafter, the operation valid period in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the selection effect can be accepted may be referred to as the selection effect acceptance period. The selection effect acceptance period is a part of the execution period of the special game that executes the selection effect.

As shown in FIG. 8A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the execution of the selection effect is started, the selected image CC is displayed in association with the first option SC1, and the selected option is the first option. It is notified that it is CS1, that is, that the first super reach effect is selected. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the operation button BT is operated within the selection effect reception period, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displays the selected image CC in association with the second option SC2 and selects the image CC. It is notified that the option in the middle is the second option SC2, that is, the second super reach effect is selected. Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the operation button BT is operated within the selection effect reception period, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displays the selected image CC in association with the third option SC3 and selects it. It is notified that the option in the middle is the third option SC3, that is, the third super reach effect is selected. If the operation button BT is operated again within the selection effect reception period, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displays the selected image CC in association with the first option SC1, and the selected option is the first option CS1. It is notified that there is something, that is, that the first super reach effect is selected. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the selection effect is being executed, the operation button BT is operated to change the type of the selected super reach effect to "first super reach effect → second super reach". It can be changed in the order of production → third super reach production → first super reach production → ... ”. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is possible to change the selected option by operating the operating means within the selection effect acceptance period.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the selection effect acceptance period ends, the options selected when the selection effect acceptance period ends are taken as the result of the selection in the selection effect. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the selection effect acceptance period ends when the selected image CC is displayed in association with the first option SC1, the type of super reach effect selected in the selection effect becomes the first. It will be a super reach production. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the selection effect is executed, the type of the super reach effect executed thereafter becomes the type of super reach effect selected in the selection effect. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, with the end of the selection effect acceptance period, the selected option is set as the option selected in the selection effect. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the selection effect, selection is performed according to the operation of the operation button BT within the selection effect acceptance period.

As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a selection effect as an effect that can be executed by the effect execution means. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation valid period (selection effect acceptance period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the selection effect can be accepted corresponds to the selection acceptance period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the selection effect is configured to perform selection according to the operation of the operation means within the selection acceptance period in which the operation of the operation means related to the selection effect can be accepted. Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to change the selected option by operating the operation means within the selection acceptance period. Then, in the present embodiment, with the end of the selection acceptance period, the selected option is set as the option selected in the selection effect.

Next, the blow effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 (a) to 9 (c).
In the one-shot production, it is required to operate the operation button BT only once. As shown in FIG. 9A, when the blow effect is executed, the fifth operation promotion image S5 including the character information of "blow!" And prompting the operation of the operation button BT is displayed on the effect display device 25. And the operation promotion effect is executed. If the operation button BT is operated within the operation valid period (8 seconds in this embodiment) that can accept the operation of the operation button BT related to the blow effect after the execution of the operation promotion effect is started, the blow effect is performed. The result is derived. Hereinafter, the operation valid period in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the blow effect can be accepted may be referred to as the blow effect acceptance period. The one-shot effect reception period is a part of the execution period of the special game that enables the result of the one-shot effect to be derived. The fifth operation promotion image S5 is displayed on the effect display device 25 during the blow effect reception period.

The result of the blow effect includes a result that can be specified to be a big hit and a result that can be specified not to be a big hit. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9B, when a result that can be identified as not being a big hit in the one-shot effect is derived, the effect display device 25 temporarily stops and displays the out-of-order symbol due to the effect symbol. A production that is disappointing that it does not become a big hit is executed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9C, when a result that can be specified to be a big hit in the one-shot effect is derived, the effect display device 25 temporarily stops and displays the big hit symbol by the effect symbol and makes a big hit. A blessing production is performed.

In the one-hit effect, when a big hit is obtained, a result that can be identified as a big hit is derived when the operation button BT is operated within the one-shot effect acceptance period. On the other hand, in the one-shot production, if the hit is not a big hit, the result that can be specified that the big hit is not derived is derived when the operation button BT is operated within the one-shot production reception period. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the one-shot production, when the operation button BT is operated within the one-shot production reception period, it is possible to specify the result that can be specified as a big hit and the fact that it is not a big hit. It is configured so that one of the results is derived.

In the present embodiment, the one-shot effect corresponds to the second effect, and the result of the one-shot effect corresponds to the second result. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation valid period (blow effect reception period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the blow effect can be received corresponds to the second reception period. Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is possible to specify that the second effect is a big hit when the operation means is operated within the second reception period in which the operation of the operation means related to the second effect can be accepted. It is configured so that the second result of one of the result and the result that can be specified not to be a big hit is derived. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a second effect as an effect that can be executed by the effect execution means. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the blow effect is executed after the execution of the super reach effect is started, while the character appearance effect is executed before the execution of the reach effect is started. That is, when the character appearance effect and the blow effect are executed in one special game, the blow effect is executed at a timing after the character appearance effect. That is, in the present embodiment, when the first effect and the second effect are executed in one symbol variation game, the second effect is executed at a timing after the first effect.

In the present embodiment, the one-shot effect corresponds to the specific effect, and the result of the one-shot effect corresponds to the predetermined result derived in the specific effect. That is, in the present embodiment, in the specific effect, one predetermined result of the result that can be specified to be a big hit and the result that can be specified not to be a big hit is derived. In the present embodiment, the predetermined result derived in the blow effect corresponding to the specific effect is different from the predetermined result derived in the challenge effect corresponding to the special effect. Since the results derived from the one-shot production and the challenge production are different, it is possible to focus on each production and improve the interest. Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined result derived in the blow effect corresponding to the specific effect is different from the predetermined result derived in the power-up effect corresponding to the special effect. Since the results derived from the blow effect and the power-up effect are different, it is possible to focus on each effect and improve the interest. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation valid period (blow effect reception period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the blow effect can be received corresponds to the specific reception period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the specific effect is configured so that a predetermined result is derived when the operation means is operated within the specific reception period during which the operation of the operation means related to the specific effect can be received. There is. That is, in the present embodiment, in the specific effect, a predetermined result is derived when the operation means is operated once within the specific reception period during which the operation of the operation means related to the specific effect can be received.

The operation promotion effect for displaying the operation promotion image S5 corresponds to the operation reception effect that can specify that it is the operation reception period. In the present embodiment, there is an operation reception effect as an effect that can be executed by the effect execution means.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result of the one-shot effect is derived, the one-shot effect acceptance period ends. For example, if the result of the one-shot production is derived 5 seconds after the one-shot production reception period is reached, the one-shot production reception period ends, and as a result, the one-shot production reception period becomes 5 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the one-shot production reception period of 8 seconds can be said to be the upper limit time of the one-shot production reception period.

Next, the standby effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b).
The standby effect can be executed even in the standby state when it is in the second standby state. When the operation button BT is operated within the operation valid period (hereinafter referred to as the standby operation acceptance period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the standby effect can be accepted, the standby effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the period of the second standby state is the standby operation acceptance period. The standby operation acceptance period is a part of the standby state. As shown in FIG. 10A, for example, when the attention alert image CH is displayed in the second standby state and the effect display device 25 is executing the attention alert regarding the immersiveness, the effect display device 25 operates. The promotion effect is not executed.

Then, in the present embodiment, the effect of emitting light from the operation light emitting body Bb in the yellow light emitting mode corresponds to the second notification effect capable of notifying that a predetermined setting is made.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb becomes the rainbow-colored light emitting mode only when a result that can identify a big hit in the one-shot effect is derived. Therefore, the rainbow-colored light emitting mode in the present embodiment corresponds to the jackpot-related notification mode related to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery among the modes of notification by the notification means. Further, as described above, when the result that can be specified to be a big hit in the blow effect is derived, the vibrating device Ba of the operation button BT vibrates. Therefore, the rainbow-colored light emitting mode is the mode of notification by the notification means. Among them, it can be said that it can be taken when the operating means operates specially. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the notification mode of the notification means is the jackpot-related notification mode, the operating means operates specially. Then, in the present embodiment, the effect that the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in the rainbow-colored light emission mode corresponds to the third notification effect that can be executed when the operation means operates specially. In addition, the rainbow-colored light emitting mode in the present embodiment can be said to be a mode for notifying that a big hit will occur among the modes of notification by the notification means. As described above, in the present embodiment, the third notification effect is an effect capable of notifying that a big hit will occur.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result that can notify that a big hit is not derived in the one-shot production is not derived, or when the auto function is set, the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, and the power-up production reception period. During the period and the blow effect reception period, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is not the white light emitting mode but the yellow light emitting mode. In other words, when the result that can notify that it will be a big hit in the blow production is not derived, or when the auto function is set, the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period and the blow production reception period When, the yellow light emitting mode is prioritized over the white light emitting mode as the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb. That is, in the present embodiment, when the mode of notification by the notification means is not the jackpot-related notification mode, when a predetermined setting is made, and during the operation acceptance period, the mode of notification by the notification means is more than the effective notification mode. Priority is given to the setting notification mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the third notification effect is not executed in the notification means, when a predetermined setting is made, and during the operation acceptance period, the second notification effect has priority over the first notification effect. Is executed.

However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is the yellow light emitting mode when the auto function is set, the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, and the selection In both the effect reception period and the blow effect reception period, the effect display device 25 executes the operation promotion effect. That is, in the present embodiment, when the mode of notification by the notification means is not set to the jackpot-related notification mode, when a predetermined setting is made, and when the operation acceptance period is reached, the notification by the notification means is performed. The mode is the setting notification mode, while the operation reception effect is executed by the effect execution means. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect is executed even when the second notification effect is executed by the notification means when the predetermined setting is made and the operation acceptance period is set. By means, the operation reception effect is executed.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb does not become the rainbow color light emitting mode during the execution of the special game, or when the auto function is set, the operation light emission is performed even if the operation is not valid. The light emitting mode of the body Bb is a yellow light emitting mode. That is, in the present embodiment, during the execution of the symbol variation game, when the mode of notification by the notification means is not set to the jackpot-related notification mode, or when a predetermined setting is made, the notification means is used even if it is not the operation acceptance period. The mode of notification is the setting notification mode.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result that can be specified to be a big hit in the one-shot effect is derived, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is not the yellow light emitting mode when the auto function is set. It becomes a rainbow-colored light emitting mode. That is, when a result that can notify that a big hit is obtained in the blow effect is derived, the rainbow-colored light emitting mode is prioritized over the yellow light emitting mode as the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb when the auto function is set. To. That is, in the present embodiment, when the mode of notification by the notification means is set to the jackpot-related notification mode, the mode of notification by the notification means takes precedence over the setting notification mode when a predetermined setting is made. It becomes. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the third notification effect is executed by the notification means, the third notification effect is executed with priority over the second notification effect when a predetermined setting is made. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the result that can be specified to be a big hit in the one-shot production is derived, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light even when the auto function is not set, and the operation is performed. The light emitting mode of the light emitting body Bb is the iridescent light emitting mode. That is, when a result that can notify that a big hit is obtained in the blow effect is derived, when the auto function is not set, the light emitting mode of the operating light emitting body Bb is changed to the rainbow-colored light emitting mode rather than turning off the operating light emitting body Bb. Is prioritized. That is, in the present embodiment, when the mode of notification by the notification means is the jackpot-related notification mode, the mode of notification by the notification means is the jackpot-related notification mode when a predetermined setting is not made. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the third notification effect is executed by the notification means, the third notification effect is executed when a predetermined setting is not made.

As described above, the situation in which the vibration effect is executed is not limited to the time when the result for notifying that the hit effect is a big hit is derived, and the reach effect is not limited to, for example, at the start of the character appearance effect. The vibration effect may be executed at a timing before the execution of. The timing before the reach effect is executed is the situation where the super reach effect is executed after that and the blow effect may be executed, and the remaining period until the running special game ends. Corresponds to when an operation validity period can be provided within. On the other hand, the time when the result of notifying that a big hit is derived in the one-shot production corresponds to the case where the operation valid period is not provided within the remaining period until the end of the special game being executed. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the operation valid period is when the auto setting is made, when the operation button BT is vibrating, and within the remaining period until the running special game ends. When can be provided, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT is a yellow light emitting mode. That is, in the present embodiment, the operation is received when a predetermined setting is made, when the operation means is performing a special operation, and within the remaining period until the running symbol change game ends. When a period can be provided, the notification means executes the second notification effect.

That is, in the present embodiment, the operation is received when a predetermined setting is made, when the operation means is performing a special operation, and within the remaining period until the running symbol change game ends. When the period is not provided, the notification means executes the third notification effect.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the auto function is set, it is neither the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, the selection production reception means, or the blow production reception period. At times, when the operation button BT is not vibrating, the effect display device 25 executes the setting notification effect. That is, in the present embodiment, when the predetermined setting is made and the operation acceptance period is not performed and the operation means is not performing the special operation, the effect notification means executes the setting notification effect. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the auto function is set, it can be any of the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, the selection production reception means, and the blow production reception period. At a certain time, when the operation button BT is not vibrating, the effect display device 25 executes the setting notification effect. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation means is not performing a special operation in the time when the predetermined setting is made and the operation acceptance period is in effect, the effect notification means executes the setting notification effect. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the operation is valid when the auto function is set, when the operation button BT is vibrating, and within the remaining period until the running special game ends. When a period can be provided, the effect display device 25 executes the setting notification effect.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be capable of executing various effects. Hereinafter, the control related to the execution of various effects will be described together with the control related to the setting of the auto function. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 41a controls the execution of various effects, so that the function as the effect control means for controlling the effect execution means is realized.

The sub CPU 41a determines the effect to be executed during the execution of the special game based on the fluctuation pattern specified from the input fluctuation pattern designation command. Specifically, when any one of the variation pattern without loss reach, the variation pattern without loss of normal reach effect, and the jackpot variation pattern of normal reach effect is specified, the sub CPU 41a executes from the character appearance effect, challenge effect, and power-up effect. Decide what to do. Further, when either the out-of-order fluctuation pattern of the super reach effect or the jackpot variation pattern of the super reach effect is specified, the sub CPU 41a decides to execute the blow effect, and also character appearance effect, challenge effect, power-up effect and Determine the effect to be executed from the selected effects. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured so that it is determined to execute one of a plurality of types of effects, but it may be determined not to execute any of the effects. You may.

Then, when the effect to be executed is determined, the sub CPU 41a controls to execute the effect determined to be executed. Incidentally, when either the out-of-order variation pattern of the super reach effect or the jackpot variation pattern of the super reach effect is specified, if it is not decided to execute the selected effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the super reach effect to be executed. Determine the type. Then, during the execution of the special game, the sub CPU 41a controls so that the determined type of super reach effect is executed.

First, the control performed by the sub CPU 41a when it is decided to execute the character appearance effect will be described.
When executing the character appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the result of the character appearance effect derived in the character appearance effect. The sub CPU 41a determines the result of the character appearance effect from a plurality of types of results under a determination rate according to the type of the specified variation pattern. Further, the sub CPU 41a determines whether to execute the vibration effect after determining the result of the character appearance effect. The sub CPU 41a determines whether to execute the vibration effect under a determination rate according to the result of the determined character appearance effect. Further, when executing the character appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a sets the appearance effect acceptance period from the effect start timing during the execution of the special game. Further, during the appearance effect reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the first operation promotion image S1 and execute the operation promotion effect. Further, when it is decided to execute the vibration effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the vibration device Ba of the operation button BT so that the vibration effect is executed with the start of the appearance effect reception period.

Then, when the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a sets the effect display device 25 so that the result of the determined type of character appearance effect is derived when the detection signal from the operation button BT is input. Control. At this time, as a result of deriving the result of the character appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the appearance effect reception period is terminated and the display of the first operation promotion image S1 is terminated. .. Further, when the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a directs the display of the first operation promotion image S1 to end when the appearance effect reception period ends without inputting the detection signal from the operation button BT. The display device 25 is controlled. At this time, the sub CPU 41a does not derive the result of the character appearance effect. Information that can identify whether the auto function is set (hereinafter referred to as auto function information) is stored in the sub RWM41c. Then, the sub CPU 41a can specify whether or not the auto function is set by referring to the auto function information of the sub RWM41c. The control related to the setting of the auto function and the cancellation of the setting of the auto function will be described later.

Further, when the auto function is set, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the detection signal from the operation button BT before 1.5 seconds have elapsed after setting the appearance effect reception period, the detection signal The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the result of the determined type of character appearance effect is derived with the input of. At this time, as a result of deriving the result of the character appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the appearance effect reception period is terminated and the display of the first operation promotion image S1 is terminated. .. The details will be described later, but when the auto function is set, the auto function is performed when the operation button BT is operated before 1.5 seconds have passed since the appearance production reception period was set. The setting of is canceled.

Further, when the auto function is set, when the sub CPU 41a does not input the detection signal from the operation button BT until 1.5 seconds have elapsed after setting the appearance effect reception period, 1.5 seconds is set. With the lapse of time, the effect display device 25 is controlled so that the result of the determined type of character appearance effect is derived. At this time, as a result of deriving the result of the character appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the appearance effect reception period is terminated and the display of the first operation promotion image S1 is terminated. .. In this way, the sub CPU 41a has the appearance effect acceptance period when the character appearance effect is executed and when the auto function is set, at a timing before half of the appearance effect acceptance period elapses. Even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start of the operation button BT, it is possible to execute the control to derive the result of the character appearance effect by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is the first effect when the first effect is executed, and when a predetermined setting is made, at a timing before half of the first reception period elapses. (1) Even if the operating means has not been operated since the start of the reception period, it is possible to execute the control for deriving the first result by assuming that the operating means has been operated. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is a timing before half of the first reception period elapses when the first effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made. In the above, even if the operating means is not operated after the first reception period starts, it is possible to execute the control for deriving the first result by assuming that the operating means has been operated. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the effect control means is set, the operation means is operated after the first operation reception period starts at a predetermined timing within the first operation reception period. Even if the operation means is not operated, it is possible to execute the control for executing the first operation effect on the assumption that the operation means has been operated.

Further, when the character appearance effect is executed and the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the white light emission mode during the appearance effect reception period. To do. On the other hand, when the character appearance effect is executed and the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode. For example, when the auto function is set and the operation button BT is operated before 1.5 seconds have passed since the appearance effect reception period, the operation of the operation button BT is performed. Before, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a yellow light emitting mode, and after the operation of the operation button BT, the operation light emitting body Bb does not emit light because the appearance effect reception period has expired.

Next, the control performed by the sub CPU 41a when it is decided to execute the challenge effect will be described.
When executing the challenge effect, the sub CPU 41a specifies whether the display mode of the gauge Ge can reach the highest stage display mode in the challenge effect. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a identifies that the highest stage display mode cannot be reached when the out-of-reach non-reach variation pattern is specified. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 41a specifies any of the out-of-order fluctuation pattern of the normal reach effect, the jackpot variation pattern of the normal reach effect, the out-of-order variation pattern of the super reach effect, and the jackpot variation pattern of the super reach effect, the display mode is the highest stage. Identify as reachable. Further, when executing the challenge effect, the sub CPU 41a specifies the result to be derived in the challenge effect. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a specifies that when the variation pattern without out-of-reach is specified, the character is disappointed with the character information of "remorse". On the other hand, when the sub CPU 41a specifies any one of the out-of-order fluctuation pattern of the normal reach effect, the jackpot variation pattern of the normal reach effect, the out-of-order variation pattern of the super reach effect, and the jackpot variation pattern of the super reach effect, the character information of "development". And identify that it derives a result that the character is pleased with. Further, when executing the challenge effect, the sub CPU 41a sets the challenge effect acceptance period from the effect start timing during the execution of the special game. Further, during the challenge effect reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the second operation promotion image S2 and execute the operation promotion effect. Further, during the challenge effect reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the gauge Ge is displayed.

Then, when the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a draws a lottery as to whether to promote the display mode of the gauge Ge to the display mode of the next stage when the detection signal from the operation button BT is input. However, when it is specified that the display mode of the highest stage cannot be reached and the display mode of the stage immediately before the display mode of the highest stage has been reached, the sub CPU 41a determines the gauge Ge. It is not decided to promote the display mode of the above to the display mode of the next stage. When it is decided to promote the display mode of the gauge Ge to the display mode of the next stage, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the display mode of the gauge Ge is the display mode of the next stage. On the other hand, when it is decided not to promote the display mode of the gauge Ge to the display mode of the next stage, the sub CPU 41a does not change the display mode of the gauge Ge.

Further, as will be described in detail later, when the auto function is set, when the operation button BT is operated before 0.5 seconds have elapsed after setting the challenge production acceptance period, and when the operation button BT is operated, and When the operation button BT is operated within the challenge effect reception period, the setting of the auto function is canceled. Therefore, when the auto function is set, when the detection signal from the operation button BT is input before 0.5 seconds elapse after setting the challenge effect acceptance period, and the challenge effect acceptance period. When the detection signal from the operation button BT is input in the sub CPU 41a, the sub CPU 41a controls the challenge effect when the auto function as described above is not set.

Further, when the auto function is set, when the sub CPU 41a does not input the detection signal from the operation button BT within 0.5 seconds after setting the challenge effect reception period, the display mode of the gauge Ge Will be promoted to the next stage of display mode by lottery. At this time, the sub CPU 41a gauges each time a predetermined lottery time elapses until the challenge effect acceptance period ends or until the operation button BT is operated to cancel the setting of the auto function. A lottery will be drawn as to whether to promote the display mode of Ge to the display mode of the next stage. In the present embodiment, every time a predetermined lottery time (for example, 0.5 seconds) elapses, the operation button BT is repeatedly hit by drawing a lottery as to whether to promote the display mode of the gauge Ge to the display mode of the next stage. Control will be performed as if it had been (continuously operated).

Further, regardless of whether the auto function is not set or the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a will result in a challenge effect when the display mode of the gauge Ge reaches the highest stage display mode. Is controlled so that the effect display device 25 is derived. At this time, in the effect display device 25, the result that the character is pleased with is derived together with the character information of "development". Further, as a result of deriving the result of the challenge effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the challenge effect acceptance period is terminated and the display of the second operation promotion image S2 is terminated. Further, when the display mode of the gauge Ge reaches the highest stage display mode, the sub CPU 41a controls the vibration device Ba of the operation button BT so that the vibration effect is executed. On the other hand, when the challenge effect reception period ends without the gauge Ge display mode reaching the highest stage, the sub CPU 41a displays the effect so that the result of the challenge effect is derived as the challenge effect acceptance period ends. Control the device 25. At this time, when the result that the character is pleased with is derived together with the character information of "development" as the result of the challenge effect, the sub CPU 41a has the highest stage display mode of the gauge Ge before deriving the result of the challenge effect. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to be. Further, as a result of deriving the result of the challenge effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the display of the second operation promotion image S2 is terminated. Further, as the result of the challenge effect is derived, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the display of the gauge Ge is terminated. Further, when the display mode of the gauge Ge reaches the highest stage display mode, the sub CPU 41a controls the vibration device Ba of the operation button BT so that the vibration effect is executed.

In this way, the sub CPU 41a receives the challenge effect from a timing before half of the challenge effect reception period elapses when the challenge effect is executed and the auto function is set. Even if the operation button BT is not operated after the period starts, it is possible to execute the control to derive the result of the challenge effect after the operation button BT is regarded as being repeatedly hit and the continuous hit precursor effect is passed. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is the special effect when the special effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made, from a timing before half of the special reception period elapses. Even if the operating means is not operated after the reception period starts, it is possible to execute the control to derive a predetermined result after the special precursor effect is performed assuming that the operating means is continuously operated. In particular, the sub CPU 41a is operated when the challenge effect is executed and when the auto function is set, from the timing immediately after the start of the challenge effect reception period to the start of the challenge effect reception period. Even if the button BT is not operated, it is possible to execute the control to derive the result of the challenge effect after the operation button BT is regarded as being repeatedly hit and the continuous hit precursor effect is passed. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is at a timing before half of the special reception period elapses when the special effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made. From the timing immediately after the start of the special reception period, even if the operation means has not been operated since the start of the special reception period, it is considered that the operation means has been continuously operated, and the predetermined result is obtained after the special precursor effect is performed. The control to be derived can be executed.

Further, when the challenge effect is executed and the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitter Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the white light emission mode during the challenge effect reception period. .. On the other hand, when the challenge effect is executed and the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode. For example, when the auto function is set and the operation button BT is operated within the challenge effect reception period, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a yellow light emitting mode before the operation of the operation button BT. After the operation of the operation button BT, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a white light emitting mode until the challenge effect acceptance period ends.

Next, the control performed by the sub CPU 41a when it is decided to execute the power-up effect will be described.
When executing the power-up effect, the sub CPU 41a specifies whether the display mode of the effect image EF can reach the highest stage display mode in the power-up effect. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a specifies that the highest stage display mode cannot be reached when any one of the out-of-reach non-reach variation pattern, the normal reach effect out-of-range variation pattern, and the normal reach effect jackpot variation pattern is specified. .. On the other hand, the sub CPU 41a specifies that the highest stage display mode can be reached when either the out-of-order variation pattern of the super reach effect or the jackpot variation pattern of the super reach effect is specified. Further, when executing the power-up effect, the sub CPU 41a specifies the result to be derived in the power-up effect. Specifically, when the sub CPU 41a specifies any of a variation pattern without out-of-reach, an out-of-order variation pattern in normal reach effect, and a jackpot variation pattern in normal reach effect, the character is disappointed with the character information of "failure". Identify to derive. On the other hand, the sub CPU 41a specifies that when any one of the out-of-order variation pattern of the super reach effect and the jackpot variation pattern of the super reach effect is specified, the character information of "success" and the result that the character is pleased with are derived.

Further, when executing the power-up effect, the sub CPU 41a sets the power-up effect acceptance period from the effect start timing during the execution of the special game. Further, during the power-up effect reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the third operation promotion image S3 and execute the operation promotion effect. Further, during the power-up effect reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect image EF is displayed. Further, in the case of executing the power-up effect, when either the out-of-order variation pattern of the super reach effect or the jackpot variation pattern of the super reach effect is specified, the sub CPU 41a determines the super reach effect in advance. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the character corresponding to the type of is displayed. For example, when it is decided to execute the first super reach effect among a plurality of types of super reach effects, the first character is displayed on the effect display device 25 in the power-up effect. On the other hand, in the case of executing the power-up effect, when any one of the out-of-reach non-outlier variation pattern, the normal reach effect outlier variation pattern, and the normal reach effect jackpot variation pattern is specified, the sub CPU 41a is a character determined by lottery. Is displayed, the effect display device 25 is controlled.

Then, when the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a determines whether the operation button BT is pressed and held based on the detection signal from the operation button BT every time a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) elapses. judge. Then, each time it is determined that the button has been pressed for a long time, the sub CPU 41a draws a lottery as to whether to promote the display mode of the effect image EF to the display mode of the next stage. However, when it is specified that the display mode of the highest stage cannot be reached and the display mode of the stage immediately before the display mode of the highest stage is reached, the sub CPU 41a uses the effect image. It does not decide to promote the display mode of the EF to the display mode of the next stage. When it is decided to promote the display mode of the effect image EF to the display mode of the next stage, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the display mode of the effect image EF is displayed in the next stage. .. On the other hand, when it is decided not to promote the display mode of the effect image EF to the display mode of the next stage, the sub CPU 41a does not change the display mode of the effect image EF.

Further, as will be described in detail later, when the auto function is set, when the operation button BT is operated before 0.5 seconds have elapsed after setting the power-up effect reception period, and , When the operation button BT is operated within the power-up effect reception period, the setting of the auto function is canceled. Therefore, when the auto function is set, when the detection signal from the operation button BT is input before 0.5 seconds have elapsed after setting the power-up effect reception period, and when the power-up effect is set. When the detection signal from the operation button BT is input within the reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the power-up effect when the auto function as described above is not set.

Further, when the auto function is set, when the sub CPU 41a does not input the detection signal from the operation button BT within 0.5 seconds after setting the power-up effect reception period, the effect image EF is displayed. A lottery will be drawn as to whether to promote the display mode to the next stage display mode. At this time, the sub CPU 41a has an effect image every time a predetermined time elapses until the power-up effect reception period ends or until the operation button BT is operated to cancel the setting of the auto function. A lottery will be drawn as to whether to promote the display mode of the EF to the display mode of the next stage. In the present embodiment, every time a predetermined time elapses, a lottery is drawn as to whether to promote the display mode of the effect image EF to the display mode of the next stage, so that the operation button BT is regarded as being pressed and held for a long time. Will be done.

Further, regardless of whether the auto function is not set or the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a produces a power-up effect when the display mode of the effect image EF reaches the highest stage display mode. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the result of the above is derived. At this time, the effect display device 25 derives a result that the character is pleased with along with the character information of "success". Further, as a result of deriving the result of the power-up effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the power-up effect acceptance period is terminated and the display of the third operation promotion image S3 is terminated. .. Further, as the display mode of the effect image EF reaches the highest stage display mode, the sub CPU 41a controls the vibration device Ba of the operation button BT so that the vibration effect is executed. On the other hand, when the power-up effect reception period ends without the display mode of the effect image EF reaching the highest stage, the sub CPU 41a derives the result of the power-up effect with the end of the power-up effect reception period. The effect display device 25 is controlled in this way. At this time, when deriving a result that the character is pleased with as a result of the power-up effect together with the character information of "success", the sub CPU 41a has the highest stage of displaying the effect image EF before deriving the result of the power-up effect. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to have the display mode of. Further, as a result of deriving the result of the power-up effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the display of the third operation promotion image S3 is terminated. Further, as the result of the power-up effect is derived, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the display of the effect image EF is terminated. Further, as the display mode of the effect image EF reaches the highest stage display mode, the sub CPU 41a controls the vibration device Ba of the operation button BT so that the vibration effect is executed.

As described above, when the power-up effect is executed and the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a has the power from a timing before half of the power-up effect acceptance period elapses. Even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start of the up-effect reception period, it is assumed that the operation button BT has been pressed for a long time. It is feasible. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is the special effect when the special effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made, from a timing before half of the special reception period elapses. Even if the operating means is not operated after the reception period starts, it is possible to execute the control to derive a predetermined result after the special precursor effect is performed on the assumption that the operating means has been pressed for a long time. In particular, when the power-up effect is executed and the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a starts the power-up effect reception period immediately after the start of the power-up effect reception period. Even if the operation button BT is not operated after that, it is possible to execute the control to derive the result of the power-up effect after the operation button BT is regarded as being long-pressed and the long-pressed precursor effect is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is at a timing before half of the special reception period elapses when the special effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made. From the timing immediately after the start of the special reception period, even if the operation means has not been operated since the start of the special reception period, it is considered that the operation means has been pressed for a long time, and the predetermined result is obtained after the special precursor effect is performed. The control to be derived can be executed.

Further, when the power-up effect is executed and the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a sets the operation light emitter Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the white light emission mode during the power-up effect reception period. Control. On the other hand, when the power-up effect is executed and the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode. For example, when the auto function is set and the operation button BT is operated within the power-up effect reception period, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a yellow light emitting mode before the operation of the operation button BT. After the operation of the operation button BT, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a white light emitting mode until the power-up effect reception period ends.

Next, the control performed by the sub CPU 41a when it is decided to execute the selection effect will be described.
When executing the selection effect, the sub CPU 41a sets the selection effect acceptance period from the effect start timing during the execution of the special game. Further, during the selection effect reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the fourth operation promotion image S4 and execute the operation promotion effect. Further, when executing the selection effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the first option CS1, the second option CS2, and the third option CS3 are displayed and the options are presented. Further, with the start of the selection effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the selected image CC is displayed in association with the first option SC1. Further, when the selected image CC is displayed in association with the first option SC1, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the detection signal from the operation button BT, the selected image CC is associated with the second option SC2. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to be displayed. Similarly, when the selected image CC is displayed in association with the second option SC2, when the sub CPU 41a inputs a detection signal from the operation button BT, the selected image CC corresponds to the third option SC3. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to be attached and displayed. Further, when the selected image CC is displayed in association with the third option SC3, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the detection signal from the operation button BT, the selected image CC is associated with the first option SC1. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to be displayed. Although the details will be described later, when the auto function is set, even if the operation button BT is operated within the selection effect acceptance period, the auto function setting is not canceled and the auto function is continuously activated. Set.

Further, when the selection acceptance period ends, the sub CPU 41a sets the options displayed in association with the selected image CC as the options selected in the selection effect. Then, the sub CPU 41a determines the super reach effect corresponding to the option selected in the selection effect as the type of super reach effect to be executed. After that, during the execution of the special game, the sub CPU 41a controls so that the determined type of super reach effect is executed. Further, with the end of the selection acceptance period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the fourth operation promotion image S4, the options SC1 to SC3, and the selected image CC are not displayed, and ends the selection effect.

The sub CPU 41a controls the selection effect as described above regardless of whether the auto function is set or the auto function is set. In this way, the sub CPU 41a operates after the selection effect acceptance period starts, regardless of whether the selection effect is executed, the auto function is not set, or the auto function is set. When the button BT is not operated, the control assuming that the operation button BT is operated is not executed. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is operated when the selection effect is executed, even when a predetermined setting is made, when the operation means is not operated after the selection acceptance period starts. Do not perform controls that are deemed to have been manipulated by the means.

Further, when the selection effect is executed and the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the white light emission mode during the selection effect reception period. .. On the other hand, when the selection effect is executed and the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode. For example, when the auto function is set and the operation button BT is operated within the selection effect reception period, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a yellow light emitting mode before the operation of the operation button BT. Since the auto function is not canceled even after the operation of the operation button BT, the operation light emitting body Bb continues to emit light in the yellow light emitting mode.

Next, the control performed by the sub CPU 41a when it is decided to execute the blow effect will be described.
When executing the blow effect, the sub CPU 41a specifies the result to be derived in the blow effect. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a specifies that when the out-of-order fluctuation pattern of the super reach effect is specified, a result that can be specified not to be a big hit is derived. On the other hand, the sub CPU 41a specifies that when the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the super reach effect is specified, a result that can be identified as a jackpot is derived. When executing the blow effect, the sub CPU 41a sets the blow effect acceptance period from the effect start timing during the execution of the special game and the execution of the super reach effect. Further, during the blow effect reception period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the fifth operation promotion image S5 and execute the operation promotion effect.

Then, when the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the result of the blow effect is derived when the detection signal from the operation button BT is input. At this time, as a result of deriving the result of the blow effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the blow effect reception period is terminated and the display of the fifth operation promotion image S5 is terminated. Further, when the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a sets the effect display device 25 so that the result of the blow effect is derived when the blow effect reception period ends without inputting the detection signal from the operation button BT. Control. Further, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the display of the fifth operation promotion image S5 is terminated.

When the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a inputs the detection signal when the detection signal from the operation button BT is input before 7 seconds have elapsed after setting the blow effect reception period. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the result of the blow effect is derived. At this time, as a result of deriving the result of the blow effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the blow effect reception period is terminated and the display of the fifth operation promotion image S5 is terminated. The details will be described later, but when the auto function is set, the auto function is set when the operation button BT is operated before 7 seconds have passed since the one-shot production reception period was set. Is released. Further, when the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a indicates that 7 seconds have elapsed when the detection signal from the operation button BT is not input until 7 seconds have elapsed after setting the blow effect reception period. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the result of the blow effect is derived. At this time, as a result of deriving the result of the blow effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the blow effect reception period is terminated and the display of the fifth operation promotion image S5 is terminated.

In this way, the sub CPU 41a has the blow effect reception period when the blow effect is executed and when the auto function is set, at a timing after half of the blow effect reception period has elapsed. Even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start, it is possible to execute the control to derive the result of the blow effect by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is used when the specific effect is executed, and when a predetermined setting is made, at a timing after half of the specific reception period has elapsed, the specific reception period. Even if the operating means has not been operated since the start of the operation, it is possible to execute the control to derive a predetermined result by assuming that the operating means has been operated once. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is specified when the specific effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made, at a timing after half of the specific reception period has elapsed. Even if the operating means is not operated after the reception period starts, it is possible to execute the control to derive a predetermined result by assuming that the operating means has been operated. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect control means sets the specific reception period at a predetermined timing within the specific reception period when the specific effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made. Even if the operating means has not been operated since the start, it is possible to execute the control to derive a predetermined result by assuming that the operating means has been operated. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is the first when the second effect is executed, and when a predetermined setting is made, at a timing after half of the second reception period has elapsed. (2) Even if the operating means has not been operated since the start of the reception period, it is possible to execute the control for deriving the second result by assuming that the operating means has been operated.

In particular, the sub CPU 41a has a blow effect reception period when the blow effect is executed and when the auto function is set, at a timing after 3/4 of the blow effect reception period has elapsed. Even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start, it is possible to execute the control to derive the result of the blow effect by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is the timing when the second effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made, after half of the second reception period has elapsed. At the timing after 3/4 of the second reception period has elapsed, it is considered that the operation means has been operated even if the operation means has not been operated since the start of the second reception period, and the second result is It is possible to execute the control to derive. In this way, the sub CPU 41a is when the blow effect is executed, and when the auto function is set, immediately before the end of the blow effect reception period after half of the blow effect reception period has elapsed. At the timing of, even if the operation button BT is not operated after the start of the blow effect reception period, it is possible to execute the control to derive the result of the blow effect by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated. .. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is a specific reception when the specific effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made, at a timing after half of the specific reception period has elapsed. At the timing immediately before the end of the specific reception period after half of the period has passed, it is considered that the operation means has been operated even if the operation means has not been operated since the start of the specific reception period. It is possible to execute control to derive a predetermined result.

Further, when a result that can identify a big hit in the blow effect is derived regardless of whether the auto function is set or the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a causes the vibration effect. Controls the vibrating device Ba of the operation button BT so that Further, when a result that can identify a big hit in the blow effect is derived, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in a rainbow-colored light emitting mode.

Further, when the blow effect is executed and the auto function is not set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the white light emission mode during the blow effect reception period. .. On the other hand, when the one-shot effect is executed and the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode. For example, when the auto function is set and the operation button BT is operated before 7 seconds have passed since the one-shot effect reception period has passed, before the operation of the operation button BT is performed. The operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a yellow light emitting mode. Then, when a result that can be specified to be a big hit is derived by the operation of the operation button BT, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in a rainbow-colored light emitting mode after the operation of the operation button BT. On the other hand, if a result that can be identified as not being a big hit is derived by the operation of the operation button BT, the light is not emitted in the rainbow-colored light emission mode after the operation of the operation button BT, and the blow production acceptance period ends. Therefore, the operation light emitter Bb does not emit light.

As described above, when the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a has the operation button BT regardless of the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, or the blow production reception period. Even if is not operated, it is possible to execute control that advances the effect by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated. That is, in the present embodiment, when the effect control means is set, the operation means can be operated at a predetermined timing within the operation reception period even if the operation means is not operated after the operation reception period starts. It is possible to execute a control that executes an operation effect by regarding it as being operated.

Next, the control related to the execution of the standby effect will be described.
During the second standby state, the sub CPU 41a sets the standby operation acceptance period. During the standby operation acceptance period, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the standby effect is executed when the detection signal from the operation button BT is input. At this time, the sub CPU 41a determines the type of the plant image FG to be displayed in the standby effect by lottery. Then, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the standby effect in which the determined type of plant image FG is displayed is executed.

In this way, the sub CPU 41a operates during the standby operation acceptance period, even when the auto function is set, when the operation button BT is not operated after the standby operation acceptance period starts. Does not perform control that is considered to be the operation of the button BT. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect control means is operated after the second operation acceptance period starts, even when the second operation effect is executed and a predetermined setting is made. When there is no operation means, the control that is regarded as being operated is not executed.

When the auto function is not set and the standby operation acceptance period is in effect, the sub CPU 41a does not cause the operation light emitter Bb to emit light. On the other hand, when the auto function is set and the standby operation acceptance period is set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emitting mode. For example, when the operation button BT is operated during the standby operation acceptance period when the auto function is set, the operation light emitting body Bb emits yellow light before the operation of the operation button BT. Since it emits light and the auto function is not canceled even after the operation of the operation button BT, the operation light emitting body Bb continues to emit light in the yellow light emitting mode.

In addition, when the auto function is not set and in the first standby state, the sub CPU 41a does not cause the operation light emitter Bb to emit light. On the other hand, when the auto function is set and in the first standby state, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emitting mode. Further, when the auto function is not set and the special game is being executed and the operation is not valid, the sub CPU 41a does not emit the operation light emitter Bb. On the other hand, when the auto function is set and the special game is being executed and the operation is not valid, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitter Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode. To do. Further, when the auto function is not set and the interval between fluctuations is set, the sub CPU 41a does not cause the operation light emitter Bb to emit light. On the other hand, when the auto function is set and the interval between fluctuations is set, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode. When the auto function is not set and the jackpot game is in progress, the sub CPU 41a does not cause the operation light emitter Bb to emit light. On the other hand, when the auto function is set and the jackpot game is in progress, the sub CPU 41a controls the operation light emitting body Bb of the operation button BT so as to emit light in the yellow light emission mode.

Next, the control related to the setting of the auto function and the cancellation of the setting of the auto function will be described.
When the auto function is not set and is neither the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, the selection production reception period, or the blow production reception period during the execution of the special game. When the sub CPU 41a specifies that the operation button BT has been operated in the setting operation mode, the sub CPU 41a sets the auto function. The sub CPU 41a sets the auto function by updating the auto function information that can identify that the auto function is set. In the following explanation, "when neither the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, the selection production reception period, or the blow production reception period during the execution of the special game" is described as "the special game is being executed". It may be indicated as "a settable period in". On the other hand, in the following explanation, "when any of the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, the selection production reception period, and the blow production reception period" is set to "cannot be set during the execution of the special game". Period "may be indicated.

In the sub CPU 41a, when both the timing at which the operation of the operation button BT is started and the timing at which the operation is continued for 2 seconds are settable periods during the execution of the special game, the operation button BT is set. Identify as manipulated in an embodiment. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the timing at which the operation of the operation button BT is started is a settable period during the execution of the special game, the timing at which the operation continues for 2 seconds is during the execution of the special game. If the period cannot be set, the auto function will not be set. Further, for example, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the timing at which the operation of the operation button BT is started is an unsettable period during the execution of the special game, the timing at which the operation continues for 2 seconds is set. The auto function is not set even if it is a settable period during the execution of the special game. Of the timing when the operation of the operation button BT is started and the timing when the operation is continued for 2 seconds, the operation of the operation button BT in the set operation mode is started at the "timing when the operation of the operation button BT is started". Corresponds to the timing. Of the timing when the operation of the operation button BT is started and the timing when the operation is continued for 2 seconds, the "timing when the operation is continued for 2 seconds" is the timing or operation when the operation of the operation button BT in the setting operation mode is completed. It corresponds to the timing when the operation of the button BT becomes the setting operation mode.

Further, when the auto function is not set and is in the standby state, the sub CPU 41a sets the auto function when it is specified that the operation button BT has been operated in the set operation mode. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the auto function is set even when the operation of the operation button BT in the setting operation mode straddles the first standby state and the second standby state. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the operation of the operation button BT is started in the first standby state and the operation is continued for 2 seconds in the second standby state. , Auto function is set. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the timing at which the operation of the operation button BT is started is the second standby state, and the timing at which the operation is continued for 2 seconds is the first standby state. Also, the auto function is set.

However, in the sub CPU 41a, when either the timing at which the operation of the operation button BT is started or the timing at which the operation is continued for 2 seconds is a non-settable period during the execution of the special game, the operation button BT is set. Not specified as manipulated in an aspect. Therefore, for example, in the pachinko game machine 10, the timing at which the operation of the operation button BT is started is the second standby state, after which the execution of the special game is started and the previous operation continues for 2 seconds. The auto function is not set when the timing is a non-settable period during the execution of the special game.

Further, when the auto function is set and it is not the selection effect acceptance period during the execution of the special game, the sub CPU 41a determines that the operation button BT has been operated in the release operation mode, and is auto. Cancel the function setting. The sub CPU 41a cancels the setting of the auto function by updating the auto function information that can identify that the auto function is not set. When the auto function is set and the sub CPU 41a specifies that the operation button BT has been operated in the release operation mode during the selection effect reception period during the execution of the special game, the auto function information Do not update and do not cancel the auto function setting. Further, when the auto function is set and in the first standby state, the sub CPU 41a cancels the auto function setting when it is specified that the operation button BT has been operated in the release operation mode. To do. On the other hand, when the auto function is set and the standby operation acceptance period is set, the sub CPU 41a updates the auto function information when it is specified that the operation button BT has been operated in the release operation mode. Do not cancel the auto function setting.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode during the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, and the blow production reception period when the auto function is set. In addition to the control for canceling the setting of the auto function, the sub CPU 41a also controls various effects. Therefore, for example, when the auto function is set and the blow effect reception period is set, when the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode, the sub CPU 41a controls to release the setting of the auto function. At the same time, control is performed to derive the result of the blow effect. At this time, the operation of the operation button BT in the release operation mode serves both as a trigger for canceling the setting of the auto function and a trigger for deriving the result of the blow effect.

Further, when the auto function is set and the second standby time elapses from the second standby state to the first standby state, the sub CPU 41a cancels the setting of the auto function. As described above, at this time, the sub CPU 41a initializes the volume by updating to the initial volume information. That is, when the auto function is set, the sub CPU 41a initializes the volume and performs the auto function when the second standby time elapses from the second standby state to the first standby state. Cancel the setting.

Here, based on FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b), an example of the operation validity period and the light emitting mode of the operation light emitter when the auto function is set and when the auto function is not set will be described. To do. In addition, in FIGS. 17A and 17B, the super reach effect is executed during the execution of the special game that is a big hit, and the character appearance effect and the blow effect are executed during the execution of the special game. It shall be.

As shown in FIG. 17A, when the auto function is set, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is the yellow light emitting mode. Even if the appearance effect reception period is set at the timing t11, the light emission mode of the operation light emitting body Bb remains the yellow light emission mode within the appearance effect reception period. At this time, even if the vibration effect is executed and the operation button BT vibrates, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb remains the yellow light emitting mode. Then, when the auto function is set, it is considered that the operation button BT is operated even if the operation button BT is not operated at the timing t12 1.5 seconds after the appearance production reception period starts. The result of the character appearance production is derived. As a result, the appearance production reception period ends before the timing t13 when the upper limit time of 4 seconds elapses. Further, even if the appearance effect reception period ends, since the auto function is set, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb remains the yellow light emitting mode.

After that, when the blow effect is executed with the auto function set, it is assumed that the blow effect acceptance period is set at the timing t14. Even if the blow effect reception period is set at the timing t14, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb remains the yellow light emitting mode. Then, when the auto function is set, it is considered that the operation button BT is operated even if the operation button BT is not operated at the timing t15 7 seconds after the start of the blow production reception period. , A result that can be identified as a big hit as a result of the blow production is derived. As a result, the appearance production reception period ends before the timing t16 when the upper limit time of 8 seconds elapses. In addition, when a result that can identify a big hit in the blow effect is derived, the vibration effect is executed and the operation button BT vibrates, and even if the auto function is set, the operation light emitter Bb The light emitting mode is a rainbow-colored light emitting mode. After that, when the vibration effect is completed, since the auto function is set, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb becomes the yellow light emitting mode.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the auto function is not set, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is not the yellow light emitting mode. When the appearance effect reception period is set at the timing t11, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb becomes the white light emitting mode. At this time, even if the vibration effect is executed and the operation button BT vibrates, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is the white light emitting mode. Then, when the operation button BT is operated at the timing t12 when 1.5 seconds have passed from the start of the appearance effect reception period when the auto function is not set, the operation of the operation button BT is triggered by the operation of the operation button BT. The result of the character appearance effect is derived. As a result, the appearance production reception period ends before the timing t13 when the upper limit time of 4 seconds elapses. Further, as the appearance production acceptance period ends, the operation light emitting body Bb that has been emitting light in the white light emitting mode is turned off.

After that, when the blow effect is executed without the auto function being set, it is assumed that the blow effect acceptance period is set at the timing t14. When the blow effect reception period is set at the timing t14, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb becomes the white light emitting mode. Then, when the operation button BT is operated at the timing t15 7 seconds after the start of the blow effect reception period, it is possible to specify that the operation of the operation button BT triggers a big hit as a result of the blow effect. Results are derived. As a result, the appearance production reception period ends before the timing t16 when the upper limit time of 8 seconds elapses. In addition, when a result that can identify a big hit in the blow effect is derived, the vibration effect is executed and the operation button BT vibrates, and even if the auto function is set, the operation light emitter Bb The light emitting mode is a rainbow-colored light emitting mode. After that, when the vibration effect is completed, the operation light emitting body Bb that has been emitting light in the rainbow-colored light emitting mode is turned off because the auto function is not set.

Hereinafter, the effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1) In the character appearance effect (first effect), a result (first result) suggesting a jackpot expectation is derived. On the other hand, in the one-shot effect (second effect), one result (second result) of a result that can be specified to be a big hit and a result that can be specified not to be a big hit is derived. That is, the result derived in the one-shot effect is a result that can directly specify whether or not it is a big hit, as compared with the result derived in the character appearance effect. Then, when the character appearance effect is executed, when the auto function is set, the appearance effect reception period starts at a timing before half of the appearance effect reception period (first reception period) elapses. After that, even if the operation button BT is not operated, the control for deriving the result of the character appearance effect is executed assuming that the operation button BT is operated. As a result, when the auto function is set, it is possible to secure the time to grasp the high and low of the jackpot expectation degree suggested by the result of the character appearance effect, to enjoy the character appearance effect more effectively, and to improve the interest. Can be planned. On the other hand, when the blow effect is executed and the auto function is set, the blow effect reception period is set at the timing after half of the blow effect reception period (second reception period) has elapsed. Even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start, the control is executed to derive the result of the blow effect by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated. As a result, when the auto function is set, it is possible to prevent the result that can be identified as not being a big hit from being continuously derived for a long time, and it is interesting to keep looking at the result that can be identified as not being a big hit. The decrease can be suppressed. As described above, when the auto function is set, control is executed to derive various results by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated, depending on whether the character appearance effect or the blow effect is performed. By making the timing different, it is possible to derive the result at the timing suitable for various productions, and it is possible to improve the interest more effectively.

(2) When the auto function is set and the operation button BT is not operated, the character appearance effect in which the control to derive the result is executed at the timing before half of the appearance effect acceptance period elapses is a blow. It is executed before the blow effect in which the control to derive the result is executed at the timing after half of the reception period has passed. Therefore, when the auto function is set, it is possible to experience that the result is derived without operating the operation button BT when the character appearance effect is executed first. As a result, even if the timing until the result is derived in the subsequent blow production is the timing after half of the blow production reception period has passed, the "operation button BT is operated during the previous blow production reception period". It is possible to suppress worrying about "whether the result can be derived without it", and it becomes easier to improve the interest.

(3) When the blow effect is executed when the auto function is set, it is the timing after half of the blow effect acceptance period has elapsed, and after 3/4 of the blow effect acceptance period has elapsed. At the timing of, the control to derive the result is executed. In this way, when the auto function is set, by deriving the result just before the end of the blow production reception period (immediately before the end), for example, the time for deriving the result that can identify that it is not a big hit is shortened. It can be done, and the decline in interest can be further suppressed.

(4) In the one-shot effect (specific effect), the result is derived when the operation button BT is operated. Further, in the blow effect, the result is derived when the auto function is set even if the operation button BT is not operated. Then, when the blow effect is executed, and when the auto function is set, the blow effect reception period starts at a timing after half of the blow effect reception period (specific reception period) has elapsed. After that, even if the operation button BT is not operated, the control is executed in which the operation button BT is regarded as being operated once and the result is derived. In this way, when the auto function is set and the blow effect is executed, by delaying the timing at which the result is derived, the degree of attention to the derived result is increased and the interest is improved. Can be done. On the other hand, in the challenge production (special production), the result is derived after the continuous hitting precursor production (special precursor production). Then, when the challenge effect is executed and the auto function is set, after the challenge effect acceptance period starts from a timing before half of the challenge effect acceptance period elapses. Even if the operation button BT is not operated, it is assumed that the operation button BT is repeatedly hit, and the control for deriving the result is executed after the continuous hit precursor effect is performed. In this way, when the auto function is set, when the challenge effect in which the result is derived after the continuous hit precursor effect is executed, it is considered that the operation button BT is repeatedly hit from an early stage. By executing the control to derive the result after the continuous hit precursor effect, it is possible to make it easier to enjoy a series of challenge effects including the continuous hit precursor effect and improve the interest. As described above, when the auto function is set, the timing at which the control for deriving the result is executed as if the operation button BT was operated differs depending on whether it is a blow effect or a challenge effect. By doing so, it is possible to derive the result at the timing suitable for various productions, and it is possible to improve the interest more effectively.

(5) When the challenge effect is executed and the auto function is set, the operation button BT is pressed from the timing immediately after the start of the challenge effect acceptance period to the start of the challenge effect acceptance period. Even if the operation button BT is not operated, it is assumed that the operation button BT is repeatedly hit, and the control for deriving the result is executed after the continuous hit precursor effect is performed. In this way, by executing "control that assumes that the operation button BT has been repeatedly hit and derives the result after passing through the repeated hit precursor effect" immediately after the start of the challenge production acceptance period, the continuous hit precursor effect is included. It is possible to make it easier to enjoy a series of challenge productions and improve the interest.

(6) In the blow effect, the result is derived when the operation button BT is operated. Further, in the blow effect, the result is derived when the auto function is set even if the operation button BT is not operated. Then, when the one-shot effect is executed and the auto function is set, at a timing after half of the one-shot effect reception period has elapsed, the operation button BT is started after the specific reception period starts. Even if is not operated, the operation button BT is regarded as being operated once, and the control for deriving the result is executed. In this way, when the auto function is set and the blow effect is executed, by delaying the timing at which the result is derived, the degree of attention to the derived result is increased and the interest is improved. Can be done. On the other hand, in the power-up effect (special effect), the result is derived after the long press precursor effect (special precursor effect). Then, when the power-up effect is executed and the auto function is set, the power-up effect reception period starts from a timing before half of the power-up effect reception period elapses. Then, even if the operation button BT is not operated, it is assumed that the operation button BT has been pressed for a long time, and the control for deriving the result is executed after the long press precursor effect is performed. In this way, when the auto function is set, when the power-up effect in which the result is derived after the long-press precursor effect is executed, it is considered that the operation button BT is long-pressed from an early stage. By executing the control to derive the result after passing through the long-press precursor effect, it is possible to make it easier to enjoy a series of power-up effects including the long-press precursor effect and improve the interest. As described above, when the auto function is set, the timing at which the control that derives the result by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated is executed depending on whether it is a blow effect or a power-up effect. By making them different, it is possible to derive the results at the timing suitable for various productions, and it is possible to improve the interest more effectively.

(7) When the power-up effect is executed and the auto function is set, the operation is performed from the timing immediately after the start of the power-up effect reception period to the start of the power-up effect reception period. Even if the button BT is not operated, it is assumed that the operation button BT has been pressed for a long time, and the control for deriving the result is executed after the long press precursor effect is performed. In this way, immediately after the start of the power-up effect reception period, by executing "control that assumes that the operation button BT has been pressed for a long time and derives the result after the long press precursor effect", it is pressed for a longer time. It is possible to make it easier to enjoy a series of power-up productions including precursory productions and improve the interest.

(8) In the one-shot production, one result of the result that can be specified to be a big hit and the result that can be specified not to be a big hit is derived. That is, the result derived in the blow production is a result that can directly identify whether or not it is a big hit. Then, when the blow effect is executed and the auto function is set, at a timing after half of the blow effect reception period has elapsed, the operation button is operated after the blow effect reception period starts. Even if the BT is not operated, the operation button BT is regarded as being operated and the control for deriving the result is executed. As a result, when the auto function is set, it is possible to prevent the result that can be identified as not being a big hit from being continuously derived for a long time, and it is interesting to keep looking at the result that can be identified as not being a big hit. It is possible to suppress the decrease.

In particular, when the blow effect is executed and the auto function is set, the operation button BT is pressed after the blow effect reception period starts at the timing immediately before the end of the blow effect reception period. Even if the operation button BT is not operated, the operation button BT is regarded as being operated and the control for deriving the result is executed. In this way, when the one-shot effect is executed when the auto function is set, the result is derived immediately before the end of the one-shot effect reception period, so that the result is derived until just before the end of the one-shot effect reception period. It is possible to raise the degree of attention to and effectively improve the interest.

(9) During the standby operation acceptance period (second operation acceptance period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the standby effect (second operation effect) executed without being related to the lottery result of the big hit lottery can be accepted. It is permissible to set the auto function by operating the operation button BT in the setting operation mode. On the other hand, during the appearance effect reception period (first operation reception period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the result derivation of the character appearance effect (first operation effect) performed in relation to the lottery result of the big hit lottery can be accepted. Even if the operation button BT is operated in the setting operation mode, the setting of the auto function is restricted. In this way, when the result of the character appearance effect is derived, even if the operation button BT is operated in the setting operation mode, the setting of the auto function is restricted, so that the auto function is set. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the degree of attention to the result of the character appearance effect. On the other hand, when the standby effect that is executed regardless of the lottery result of the big hit lottery is executed, the auto function can be set by operating the operation button BT in the setting operation mode. Therefore, for example, auto It is possible to prevent the situation in which the function cannot be set from continuing. As described above, when the operation button BT is operated in the setting operation mode, the case where the auto function is set and the case where the auto function is not set are separated according to the effect to be executed, so that the effect to be noticed can be obtained. While suppressing the decrease in attention, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest due to the inability to set the auto function.

(10) In the standby operation acceptance period (second operation acceptance period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the standby effect (second operation effect) can be accepted in the standby state, the operation button BT is set. It is permissible to set the auto function by operating with. On the other hand, during the appearance effect reception period (first operation reception period) in which the operation of the operation button BT related to the result derivation of the character appearance effect (first operation effect) when the special game is being executed can be accepted, the operation button Even if the BT is operated in the setting operation mode, the setting of the auto function is restricted. In this way, when the result of the character appearance effect is derived during the execution of the special game, the auto function is restricted even if the operation button BT is operated in the setting operation mode. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the degree of attention to the result of the character appearance effect as a result of the setting. On the other hand, when the standby effect that is executed when the special game is not being executed or the jackpot game is not being granted is being executed, the auto function can be activated by operating the operation button BT in the set operation mode. Since it can be set, for example, it is possible to prevent the situation in which the auto function cannot be set from continuing. As described above, when the operation button BT is operated in the setting operation mode, the case where the auto function is set and the case where the auto function is not set are separated according to the effect to be executed, so that the effect to be noticed can be obtained. While suppressing the decrease in attention, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest due to the inability to set the auto function.

(11) During the standby operation acceptance period, the standby effect is not executed unless the operation button BT is operated. In this way, even when the auto function is set, by creating a scene in which the effect is not executed unless the operation button BT is operated, the degree of attention to the effect is lowered while the auto function is set. It is possible to suppress the storage.

(12) Canceling the setting of the auto function can be assumed to be a case where the player is actively trying to operate the operation button BT. Therefore, when the auto function is set and during the appearance effect reception period, the setting of the auto function is canceled by operating the operation button BT in the release operation mode. As a result, even though I wanted to operate the operation button BT to derive the result of the character appearance effect, the setting of the auto function could not be canceled and the character appeared regardless of the operation of the operation button BT. It is possible to prevent the result of the production from being derived and degrading the interest. On the other hand, when the auto function is set and during the standby operation acceptance period, the setting of the auto function is not canceled even if the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode. .. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in the control load due to the automatic function being repeatedly set and canceled during the standby operation acceptance period. Further, when the setting of the auto function or the cancellation of the setting of the auto function is notified, the setting and cancellation of the auto function are repeated many times, so that the above-mentioned notification is repeated many times. It is possible to prevent the surrounding players from feeling annoyed.

(13) If it is in the standby state, there is a possibility that the game has not been performed. In particular, in the second standby state after the first standby state among the standby states, it can be assumed that there is a higher possibility that the game is not being performed than in the first standby state. Therefore, in addition to initializing the volume that may have been adjusted by the previous player, the setting of the auto function that may have been set by the previous player has been set in accordance with the second standby state. Was released. As a result, it is possible to prevent the next player who does not want to set the auto function from playing the game while the auto function is set.

(14) When the selection effect is executed, even if the auto function is set, the player may operate the operation button BT to make a selection in the selection effect, and the operation is the release operation mode. It is also possible that Further, for example, when the setting of the auto function is canceled by the operation of the operation button BT intended to be selected in the selection effect, the auto function must be set again. Furthermore, if you do not notice that the auto function has been canceled, you can assume that the operation button BT cannot be operated and the result will not be derived in the production that requires the operation of the operation button BT. It is also possible to reduce it. Therefore, even if the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode during the selection effect reception period (selection reception period) when the auto function is set, the setting of the auto function is not canceled and the operation is performed in response to the operation. The selection is made by the selection effect. As a result, while improving the interest by providing the auto function, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest due to the unintentional cancellation of the auto function by the operation of the operation button BT for selecting in the selection effect. it can.

(15) When the selection effect is executed, it is possible that the operation button BT is not operated because there is no dissatisfaction with the selection in the selection effect. For example, in the above embodiment, when the selection effect is executed, the selected image CC is displayed in association with the first option CS1, so that the player who wants to select the first option CS1 can operate the image CC. Since there is no need to operate the button BT, there is a possibility that the operation button BT is not operated. In such a case, for example, if control is performed assuming that the operation button BT is operated even if the operation button BT is not operated, a selection different from the selection desired by the player is made. There is a risk that it will be performed by selective production. However, even when the auto function is set, when the selection effect is executed, the operation button BT is operated even if the operation button BT is not operated after the selection effect acceptance period starts. Prevented the control that was considered to be the same as the one that was executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent a selection different from the selection desired by the player from being made in the selection effect, and to suppress a decrease in interest due to a selection different from the selection desired by the player being made in the selection effect. be able to.

(16) When the auto function is not set, the operation of the operation button BT when the selection effect is executed may be an operation for the purpose of making a selection in the selection effect. It is also conceivable that the operation of the operation button BT is the operation of the setting operation mode. In such a case, if the auto function is set by the operation of the operation button BT for the purpose of selection in the selection effect, the setting of the auto function must be canceled. Furthermore, if the auto function is not noticed, it is possible that the result will be derived without permission in other productions regardless of the player's intention, and as a result, the interest will be reduced. There is a risk that it will end up. Therefore, even if the operation button BT is operated in the set operation mode during the selection effect reception period when the auto function is not set, the auto function is not set and the selection according to the operation of the operation button BT is selected. I made it done by directing. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest due to an unintentional setting of the auto function by an operation for the purpose of selection in the selection effect.

(17) Even though the auto function is set, if the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode when the blow effect (specific effect) is executed, the auto function setting is canceled and the game is played. It is assumed that the operation button BT is operated with the intention of deriving the result of the blow effect by the person's own operation. Therefore, when the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode during the blow effect reception period (specific reception period), the setting of the auto function is canceled. As a result, for example, even though the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode for the purpose of canceling the setting of the auto function, the setting of the auto function is not canceled, which makes the user feel annoyed. Can be suppressed.

(18) It is assumed that there is a player who thinks that it is not necessary to dare to execute the standby effect (second operation effect) that is executed regardless of the lottery result of the big hit lottery. Therefore, even if the auto function is set, if the operation button BT is operated during the standby operation reception period (second operation reception period), the operation button BT is operated for the purpose of executing the standby effect. However, it is also conceivable that the operation of the operation button BT may be the release operation mode. Further, for example, when the setting of the auto function is canceled by the operation of the operation button BT for the purpose of executing the standby effect, the auto function must be set again. Furthermore, if you do not notice that the auto function has been canceled, you can assume that the operation button BT cannot be operated and the result will not be derived in the production that requires the operation of the operation button BT. It is also possible to reduce it. Therefore, even if the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode during the standby operation acceptance period when the auto function is activated, the setting of the auto function is not canceled and the operation button BT is on standby. The production is now executed. As a result, while improving the interest by providing the auto function, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest due to the unintentional cancellation of the setting of the auto function by the operation of the operation button BT for executing the standby effect. be able to.

(19) It is assumed that there is a player who thinks that it is not necessary to dare to execute the standby effect (second operation effect) that is executed when the special game is not being executed or the jackpot game is not being granted. To. Therefore, even if the auto function is set, if the operation button BT is operated during the standby operation reception period (second operation reception period), the operation button BT is operated for the purpose of executing the standby effect. However, it is also conceivable that the operation of the operation button BT may be the release operation mode. Further, for example, when the setting of the auto function is canceled by the operation of the operation button BT for the purpose of executing the standby effect, the auto function must be set again. Furthermore, if you do not notice that the auto function has been canceled, you can assume that the operation button BT cannot be operated and the result will not be derived in the production that requires the operation of the operation button BT. It is also possible to reduce it. Therefore, even if the operation button BT is operated in the release operation mode during the standby operation acceptance period when the auto function is set, the auto function setting is not canceled and the operation of the operation button BT is used as an opportunity to stand by. The middle production is now executed. As a result, while improving the interest by providing the auto function, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest due to the unintentional cancellation of the setting of the auto function by the operation of the operation button BT for executing the standby effect. be able to.

(20) Even if the auto function is set, the player does not want to execute the waiting effect that is executed when the special game is not being executed and the jackpot game is not being granted. There is a possibility. However, in such a case, for example, if control is performed assuming that the operation button BT is operated, the standby effect is performed even though the player does not want to execute the standby effect. It will be executed without permission, and as a result, there is a risk that the interest will be reduced. However, even when the auto function is set, when the standby effect is executed, the operation button BT is operated even if the operation button BT is not operated after the standby operation acceptance period starts. By preventing the control that is regarded as being performed from being executed, it is possible to prevent the standby effect from being executed without permission. Then, even though the standby effect is not desired to be executed and the operation button BT is not even operated, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest due to the standby effect being executed without permission.

(21) When the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is not set to the rainbow color light emitting mode (big hit related notification mode), when the auto function is set, and when the appearance effect reception period and the challenge effect reception period are set. , The light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb becomes the yellow light emitting mode (setting notification mode) in preference to the white light emitting mode (effective notification mode) when it is either the power-up effect reception period or the blow effect reception period. .. In this way, when the auto function is set, the light emitting mode of the operation illuminant Bb emits yellow light when any of the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, and the blow production reception period. It is an aspect. Therefore, when any of the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, and the blow production reception period is reached, the auto function is set by checking the light emission mode of the operation light emitter Bb. That is, it is possible to confirm whether or not the effect does not proceed unless the operation button BT is operated. As a result, it is possible to make it easier to enjoy the game after setting the auto function, while improving the interest by providing the auto function.

(22) When the auto function is set, the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is the yellow light emitting mode. It is not possible to specify whether it is the reception period or the one-shot production reception period. However, even in such a case, the effect display device 25 executes the operation promotion effect. Therefore, even if the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is the yellow light emitting mode, the effect can be advanced by operating the operation button BT. It can be specified that it is either the power-up production reception period or the blow production reception period. As a result, the operation light emitting body Bb can be notified that the auto function is set, and even if the auto function is set, the operation of the operation button BT can be promoted by the operation promotion effect.

(23) When the special game is being executed and is neither the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, or the blow production reception period, it is permissible to set the auto function. At this time, the auto function can be set by operating the operation button BT in the setting operation mode. Furthermore, when the special game is being executed and is neither the appearance production reception period, the challenge production reception period, the power-up production reception period, or the blow production reception period, it is permissible to cancel the setting of the auto function. At that time, the setting of the auto function can be canceled by operating the operation button BT in the release operation mode. Then, during the execution of the special game, when the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is not set to the rainbow color light emitting mode, or when the auto function is set, the appearance effect reception period, the challenge effect reception period, the power-up effect reception period, and the like. The light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is the yellow light emitting mode regardless of the one-shot effect reception period. Thereby, in the situation where the auto function can be set or the setting of the auto function can be canceled, it can be confirmed whether the light emitting mode of the operation light emitting body Bb is the yellow light emitting mode, and the auto function can be confirmed. It becomes easy to select whether to set or to cancel the setting of the auto function.

(24) When the auto function is set, basically, the operation light emitting body Bb emits light in the yellow light emitting mode (the second notification effect is executed), and it is notified that the auto function is set. In particular, even when the operation button BT is vibrating (special operation), when the operation valid period can be provided within the remaining period until the end of the special game being executed, the operation is performed in the yellow light emitting mode. The light emitter Bb emits light. As a result, it is possible to grasp whether the auto function is set, that is, whether it is necessary to operate the operation button BT in the later operation valid period. Even when the operation button BT is vibrating, if the operation valid period is not provided within the remaining period until the running special game ends, until the running special game ends. Compared to the time when the operation valid period can be set within the remaining period of, it is less necessary to grasp whether the auto function is set. Therefore, even when the operation button BT is vibrating, if the operation valid period is not provided within the remaining period until the end of the special game being executed, the operation light emitting body is in the rainbow-colored light emitting mode. When Bb emits light (the third notification effect is executed), it is possible to grasp that the operation button BT is vibrating. As described above, even when the operation button BT is vibrating, the operation validity period can be set within the remaining period until the end of the special game being executed, that is, the auto function is set. By making the operation light emitter Bb emit light according to whether or not it is necessary to grasp whether or not it is necessary, it is possible to make it easier to enjoy the setting of the auto function while improving the interest by providing the auto function. ..

(25) In the effect display device 25, when the auto function is set, when the operation light emitting body Bb is emitting light in the yellow light emitting mode or when the operating light emitting body Bb is emitting light in the rainbow color light emitting mode. Even so, the setting notification effect for notifying that the auto function is set is executed. Further, when the auto function is set, even when the background image corresponding to the effect mode during the stay is displayed on the effect display device 25, the setting notification effect is prioritized over the display of the background image. Is executed in the effect display device 25. Therefore, even when the operation light emitting body Bb is not emitting light in the yellow light emitting mode, whether the auto function is set by confirming whether the setting notification effect is executed on the effect display device 25. Can be grasped. In particular, at this time, even if the background image is displayed on the effect display device 25, the setting notification effect is executed with priority over the display of the background image, so even if the background image is displayed. It is possible to easily grasp whether the auto function is set.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The above embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
-When the auto function is set and the character appearance effect is executed, the operation button BT is operated after the appearance effect reception period starts at the timing when half of the appearance effect reception period elapses. Even if it is not, the operation button BT may be regarded as being operated and the control for deriving the result of the character appearance effect may be executed. That is, the sub CPU 41a starts the appearance effect reception period at the timing when the character appearance effect is executed and when the auto function is set and half of the appearance effect reception period elapses. Even if the operation button BT is not operated, it may be possible to execute the control to derive the result of the character appearance effect by assuming that the operation button BT is operated. That is, the effect control means starts the first reception period when the first effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made and half of the first reception period elapses. Even if the operating means is not operated after that, it may be possible to execute the control for deriving the first result by assuming that the operating means has been operated. As described above, the effect control means is the first effect when the first effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made, at a timing before half of the first reception period elapses. Even if the operating means has not been operated since the reception period started, it is preferable that the control for deriving the first result can be executed by assuming that the operating means has been operated. In addition, when the auto function is set, the result of the character appearance effect is regarded as having been operated even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the appearance effect reception period started. The timing at which the derivation control is executed may be the timing after half of the appearance production reception period has elapsed.

-The period during which the result of the character appearance effect can be derived may be the entire period during the execution of the special game. That is, the first operation acceptance period may be the entire execution period of the symbol variation game that enables the first operation effect to be executed. As described above, according to the present alternative example and the above embodiment, the first operation acceptance period is a part or all of the execution period of the symbol variation game that enables the first operation effect to be executed. It may be configured.

-When the auto function is set and the challenge effect is executed, the operation button BT is not operated after the challenge effect acceptance period starts at the timing when half of the challenge effect acceptance period elapses. However, the operation button BT may be regarded as being repeatedly hit, and the control for deriving the result of the challenge effect may be executed after the continuous hit precursor effect is performed. That is, when the auto function is set, even if the operation button BT is not operated after the challenge production acceptance period starts, it is considered that the operation button BT has been repeatedly hit, and after the continuous hit precursor effect is performed. The timing at which the control for deriving the result of the challenge effect is executed does not have to be immediately after the start of the challenge effect acceptance period. In addition, when the auto function is set, even if the operation button BT is not operated after the challenge production acceptance period starts, it is considered that the operation button BT has been repeatedly hit, and after the continuous hit precursor effect is performed. The timing at which the control for deriving the result of the challenge effect is executed may be the timing after half of the challenge effect acceptance period has elapsed.

-During the challenge production reception period, even if the operation button BT is pressed and held for a long time, the control for deriving the result of the challenge production is executed after the operation button BT is regarded as being repeatedly hit and the continuous hit precursor effect is passed. It may be configured as follows. For example, only when the auto function is not set, even if the operation button BT is pressed and held during the challenge production reception period, it is considered that the operation button BT has been repeatedly hit, and the challenge is performed after the continuous hit precursor production is performed. It may be configured so that the control for deriving the result of the effect is executed. In addition, regardless of whether the auto function is set, even if the operation button BT is pressed and held during the challenge production reception period, it is considered that the operation button BT has been repeatedly hit, and the challenge is performed after the continuous hit precursor production is performed. It may be configured so that the control for deriving the result of the effect is executed.

-When the auto function is set and the power-up effect is executed, the operation button BT is operated after the power-up effect acceptance period starts at the timing when half of the power-up effect acceptance period elapses. Even if this is not done, the operation button BT may be regarded as being long-pressed, and the control for deriving the result of the power-up effect may be executed after the long-pressed precursor effect. That is, when the auto function is set, even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start of the power-up effect reception period, it is considered that the operation button BT has been pressed for a long time. The timing at which the control for deriving the result of the power-up effect is executed does not have to be immediately after the start of the power-up effect reception period. In addition, when the auto function is set, even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start of the power-up effect reception period, it is assumed that the operation button BT has been pressed for a long time, and a long press precursor effect is produced. The timing at which the control for deriving the result of the power-up effect is executed may be the timing after half of the power-up effect reception period has elapsed.

-When the auto function is set, when the selection effect is executed, and even when the operation button BT is not operated, it is considered that the operation button BT has been operated, and the selection effect is performed. It may be configured to execute the control to change the selected option in. For example, when the auto function is set, when the selection effect is executed, and even when the operation button BT is not operated, the operation button BT is regarded as being repeatedly hit and selected. It may be configured to execute control to change the choices in the box at predetermined intervals.

-The mode of the selection effect may be changed. For example, a mode in which the selected option is changed at predetermined time intervals, and the selected option is set as the selected option in the selection effect when the operation button BT is operated. It may be. That is, instead of changing the options by operating the operation button BT as in the above embodiment, the options to be selected may be determined by operating the operation button BT.

-When the auto function is set and the blow effect is executed, the operation button BT is not operated after the blow effect acceptance period starts at the timing when half of the blow effect acceptance period elapses. However, it may be configured so that the operation button BT is regarded as being operated and the control for deriving the result of the blow effect is executed. That is, the sub CPU 41a starts the one-shot effect reception period at the timing when half of the one-shot effect reception period elapses when the one-shot effect is executed and the auto function is set. Even if the operation button BT is not operated, it may be possible to execute the control to derive the result of the blow effect by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated. That is, the effect control means is operated after the specific reception period starts at the timing when half of the specific reception period elapses when the specific effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made. Even if the means is not operated, it may be possible to execute control for deriving a predetermined result by assuming that the operating means has been operated once. As described above, the effect control means starts the specific reception period at a timing after half of the specific reception period elapses when the specific effect is executed and when a predetermined setting is made. Then, even if the operating means is not operated, it is preferable that the control for deriving a predetermined result can be executed by assuming that the operating means has been operated once. In addition, when the auto function is set, the result of the blow effect is derived by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start of the blow effect acceptance period. The timing at which the control to be made is executed may be after half of the one-shot effect reception period has elapsed and before 3/4 of the one-shot effect reception period has elapsed. In addition, when the auto function is set, the result of the blow effect is derived by assuming that the operation button BT has been operated even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start of the blow effect acceptance period. The timing at which the control to be made is executed may be the timing before half of the hit production reception period has elapsed. In this way, when the auto function is set, it is considered that the operation button BT has been operated even if the operation button BT has not been operated since the start of the blow effect reception period, and the result of the blow effect. The timing at which the control for deriving the above is executed does not have to be the timing immediately before the end of the blow production acceptance period.

-When the character appearance effect and the blow effect are executed during the execution of one special game, the blow effect corresponding to the second effect is executed at a timing before the character appearance effect corresponding to the first effect. It may be configured as follows.

-A vibration effect may be executed with the start of the blow effect reception period. For example, when a result that can be specified to be a big hit in the one-shot production is derived, as compared with the case where a result that can be specified not to be a big hit is derived in the one-shot production, with the start of the one-shot production acceptance period. It may be configured so that the vibration effect is executed at a high rate. In this case, when the vibration effect is executed with the start of the blow effect reception period, the expectation of a big hit is higher than when the vibration effect is not executed with the start of the blow effect reception period. As a result, when the vibration effect is executed with the start of the blow effect acceptance period, the motivation to operate the operation button BT can be further increased. However, when the auto function is set, the vibration effect may be restricted from being executed with the start of the blow effect acceptance period. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the auto function is set, the vibration effect may not be executed with the start of the blow effect acceptance period.

-You may change the result derived in the blow production. For example, it may be configured so that a result suggesting a jackpot expectation is derived. In addition, in the one-shot production, one of a result that can be specified as a big hit in the super reach production and a result that can be specified that the super reach production is not a big hit is derived. It may be configured as. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, after a result that can identify that a big hit was not obtained in the super reach production is derived, the pachinko game machine 10 may finally become a big hit through a different production from the super reach production. Good.

-When the auto function is set and the standby operation reception period is set, the operation button BT is operated at a predetermined timing in the standby operation reception period even if the operation button BT is not operated. The sub CPU 41a may be configured to execute the control for executing the standby effect. That is, if the auto function is set, the standby effect may be executed without operating the operation button BT within the standby operation acceptance period.

-The period during which the standby effect can be executed, that is, the standby operation reception period may be the entire period in the standby state. That is, the second operation acceptance period may be the entire period in the standby state. As described above, according to the present alternative example and the above embodiment, the second operation acceptance period may be configured to be a part or all of the period in the standby state.

-The result derived in the challenge effect and the result derived in the power-up effect may be the same. Similarly, the result derived in the challenge effect and the result derived in the blow effect may be the same. Further, the result derived in the power-up effect and the result derived in the blow effect may be the same. For example, in the challenge effect, any one of a result that can be specified to be a big hit and a result that can be specified not to be a big hit may be derived. Similarly, for example, in the power-up effect, any one of a result that can be specified to be a big hit and a result that can be specified not to be a big hit may be derived. Since the operation mode of the operation button BT until the result is derived is different in the various effects, the player can be entertained in each effect even if the results that can be derived in the various effects are the same. In addition, the result derived in the character appearance effect may include a result that can definitively identify that it is a big hit. It can be said that the result that can definitively identify the big hit corresponds to the result that the big hit can be specified, and corresponds to the result that suggests that the big hit expectation is 100%. Further, the result of the character appearance effect may be configured to be executed without being related to the big hit lottery. In an internal lottery unrelated to the big hit lottery, the result of the character appearance effect may be determined.
