Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of performing variable display and controlling to an advantageous state advantageous to the player.

In the conventional gaming machine, based on the fulfillment of a predetermined condition (entering the starting area of the game ball), a specific display (hold display or active display) based on the fulfillment of the predetermined condition is displayed on the display means. For the variable display based on the establishment of the predetermined condition, there is a pre-reading notice that suggests that the variable display is controlled to an advantageous state even before the start of the variable display.

Further, in some conventional gaming machines, pre-reading notice (specific light emitting effect) can be executed by causing the light emitting means provided in the gaming machine to emit light (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-105941

However, in Patent Document 1, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the specific display that is the target of the specific light emission effect, depending on the timing at which the display of the specific display is started and the timing at which the specific light emission effect is started. Can be considered.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of easily recognizing a specific display which is a target of a specific light emitting effect.

The gaming machine of means 1 is
It is a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can execute variable display and can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player.
Light emitting means capable of emitting light (for example, main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d, winning flash lamp 135SG009F), and
A display means (for example, an image display device 5) capable of displaying a specific display (for example, a hold display and an active display) corresponding to a variable display, and
A portion for displaying a specific display effect (for example, a hold display or an active display in any of display patterns α to γ) for displaying the specific display based on the fact that a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, the occurrence of a start winning prize). ), A specific light emitting effect that causes the light emitting means to emit light (for example, a flash effect at the time of winning), and an effect executing means (for example, an effect control CPU 120) that can execute the light emitting means.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined mode. The open state includes the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as an open upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the maximum number of times (15 times or 2 times) is reached.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game and enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and a game effect lamp 9 It may be turned on or off, the operation of the movable body 32, or an effect using an arbitrary effect device including a part or all of them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operations on the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is started, and the game control main process is executed by the CPU 103. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output ports, etc.), settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is off, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, for example, if the clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in the ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100. When such a clear signal in the ON state is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the recovery condition is not satisfied. The backup data may be stored in RAM 102, which is a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, and the like may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery conditions can be satisfied.

If the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), the recovery process (step S4) is executed, and then the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed. By the recovery process in step S4, the work area is set based on the stored contents of the RAM 102. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped. For example, when the special symbol is changing, the state before the stop is special. It suffices if the fluctuation of the symbol can be resumed.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the setting change process (step S7) is executed after the initialization process (step S6) is executed. The initialization process of step S6 includes a clear process for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and the initial value is set in the work area by executing the clear process.

In the setting confirmation process of step S5, it is determined whether or not the predetermined setting confirmation condition is satisfied. The setting confirmation condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is turned on when the power supply is started. The setting confirmation process in step S5 is executed when the recovery conditions including the fact that the clear signal is in the off state are satisfied in step S3. Therefore, since the setting confirmation condition can be satisfied only when the clear signal is in the off state, the fact that the clear signal is in the off state can also be included in the setting confirmation condition.

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process in step S5, the setting confirmation state in which the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be confirmed is set, and the setting is set from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29. When the setting confirmation state is terminated, the setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12.

When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, it may be in the gaming stop state in which the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. When the game is stopped, the launch of the game ball by the operation of the hitting ball operation handle, the detection of the game ball by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbol are stopped. The display 20 may be controlled so that the lost symbol or the like is stopped and displayed, or the display corresponding to the game stopped state different from the lost symbol is displayed. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether or not the predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is turned on when the power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is in the ON state.

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed to the setting change state, and the setting is set from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the set value is displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 29 is sequentially updated and displayed. After that, based on the fact that the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a staff member of the amusement park or the like, the setting value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated and stored) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the display monitor 29 is stored. Turns off. When the setting change state is terminated, the setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12.

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be in the game stop state as in the case of the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

When the effect control board 12 side receives the setting confirmation start command or the setting change start command, the control may be performed to notify that the setting is being confirmed or the setting is being changed. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed on the image display device 5, a predetermined sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R, or a light emitting member such as a game effect lamp 9 may be made to emit light in a predetermined manner.

The clear signal is turned on by, for example, pressing the clear switch provided on the power supply board 17. Therefore, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is on when the power supply is started, if the clear switch is on, the step is performed together with the initialization process in step S6. The setting change process of S7 is executed and the setting change state can be controlled. If the clear switch is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 and the setting confirmation state can be controlled. If the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is off or the setting key 51 is off when the power supply is started, the initialization process of step S6 is executed if the clear switch is on. On the other hand, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery process of step S4 is executed, but it is not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

After executing the setting confirmation process or the setting change process, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer is interrupted periodically every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and interrupts are permitted (step S10). ). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute the timer interrupt process.

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to perform the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of times jackpots have occurred) and start information (starting) supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information indicating the number of times of winning (information indicating the number of times of winning, etc.) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of probability change state, etc.) are output (step S23).

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

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

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

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 5 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The pachinko gaming machine 1 has a configuration in which the winning probability of a big hit and the payout rate change according to a set value. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, the jackpot winning probability and the ball output rate are changed by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value. For example, the set value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest probability of winning a big hit, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the probability of winning a big hit. In this example, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is. .. If the jackpot winning probability changes according to the set value, the ball output rate may also change according to the set value. While the jackpot winning probability is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state may change according to the set value. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be configured so that any one of a plurality of setting values having different advantages for the player can be set. The set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is notified by transmitting a set value designation command from the side of the main board 11 to the side of the effect control board 12.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table. FIG. 7A shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special figure used when the variable special figure is the first special figure, and FIG. 7B shows the second special figure of the variable special figure. A configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used in the case of the figure is shown. The display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101. In the display result determination table, the hit determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 is assigned to the special figure display result which is the variable display result of the special symbol according to the set value. The random number value MR1 is a random number value for determining the display result, and the value is randomly updated in the range of 0 to 65535. As the display result determination table, a display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure may be used.

In the display result judgment table, when the game state is in the probability change state (high probability state), more judgment values than in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) are displayed as a special figure of "big hit". Assigned to the result. As a result, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a high-probability state such as a probabilistic state in which the probabilistic change control is performed, there is a probability that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is determined to be controlled to the jackpot gaming state as compared with the low-probability state such as the normal state or the time-saving state. It gets higher.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, it is determined that the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is the same regardless of the game state or the set value. A value has been assigned. In the display result determination table for the second special figure, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the small hit game state as a "small hit" is the display result for the first special figure regardless of the game state or the set value. Judgment values are assigned so that they have the same value as the judgment table. It should be noted that the probability of being determined to control the small hit game state with the special figure display result as "small hit" may be different according to the set value. Regardless of the variable special figure, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the small hit gaming state as "small hit" may be the same probability.

In the display result judgment table for the first special figure and the display result judgment table for the second special figure, when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit judgment values is irrespective of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit. When the set value is 1, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and while only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set, the set value 2 to the set value 6 In this case, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set to the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value.

In the display result judgment table for the first special figure and the display result judgment table for the second special figure, when the game state is the probability change state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values is a big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value for judgment. When the set value is 1, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "big hit", so that only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set, while the set value 2 to the set value In the case of 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set to the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit judgment values is small for judging the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the hit judgment value. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit determination values is the set value as in the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless of, it is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value for judging the small hit. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33421 of the hit judgment values is small for judging the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the hit judgment value. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state, the range from 32767 to 33421 of the hit determination values is the set value as in the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless of, it is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value for judging the small hit. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

The set value that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. The smaller the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more advantageous the player may be. The playability may be changed according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/320, and the probability variation state is 65%. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 2, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/200, and the gaming ball is provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7 during the jackpot game. While controlling the game state after the end of the big hit game to a probabilistic state based on passing through the switch, the game property (so-called V) in which the ratio of the game ball passing through the predetermined switch during the big hit game is different according to the fluctuation special figure. Probability variation type), and when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3, the jackpot probability is 1/320 and the small hit probability is 1/50, and the game is played during high base (during time reduction control). It may be a game property (so-called 1 type 2 type mixed type) in which the ball is controlled to a big hit gaming state based on passing through a predetermined switch provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3, the game playability is the same, but the jackpot probability and the small hit are higher than when these set values are any of 1 to 3. A setting may be provided in which the number of prize balls that can be obtained during the jackpot game is small while the probability is high (for example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6). When the playability is changed according to the set value, a common switch may be used for different purposes. Specifically, when the set value is 1 to 3, the predetermined switch provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 is used as an effect switch (in order to execute a predetermined effect each time the game ball passes through the predetermined area). When the set value is 4 to 6, the predetermined switch is used as a game switch (to control the game state to the probability change state or the jackpot game state based on the game ball passing through the predetermined switch). It may be used as a switch).

The jackpot type may be determined at a different ratio depending on the set value based on the allocation of the determination value in the jackpot type determination table. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined at a common ratio regardless of the set value. The variation pattern may be determined at a different ratio depending on the set value based on the allocation of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the fluctuation pattern may be determined at a common ratio regardless of the set value. Since the execution rate of normal reach or super reach differs depending on the set value, the set value may be suggested by the frequency of execution of normal reach or super reach. Alternatively, the execution rate of normal reach and super reach may be the same regardless of the set value. In addition, it may be possible to execute an arbitrary setting suggestion effect at different ratios according to the set value.

(Main operation of production control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. When the effect control board 12 receives the power supply voltage from the power source board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 8 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

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

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

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

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

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

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 8 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 9, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the read-ahead notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, and setting for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, the lower end of the image display device 5 has a first reserved storage display area 135SG005D capable of displaying the first special figure reserved storage number by the number of circular reserved displays, and a circular reserved display of the second special figure reserved storage number. A second display area 135SG005Sa including a second reserved storage display area 135SG005U that can be displayed according to the number of telops and a telop display area 135SG005T that can display a telop indicating a game state, an effect being executed, and the like is configured.

Then, the upper right end portion of the image display device 5 includes a fourth symbol 135SG005J indicating that the special symbol is being variably displayed, a display of the first special symbol reserved storage number, and a display of the second special symbol reserved storage number. 3 Display area 135SG005Sb is configured.

Of these, "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged in the center of the first display area 135SG005F, and variable display of decorative symbols can be executed. It has become. Further, a small symbol 135SG005M having a size smaller than each decorative symbol is displayed at the left end of the first display area 135SG005F. The small symbols are the decorative symbol displayed in each decorative symbol display area 5L on the "left", the decorative symbol displayed in each decorative symbol display area 5C in the "middle", and the decorative symbol display area on the "right". The symbols corresponding to each of the decorative symbols displayed on the 5R are arranged vertically. Further, the small symbol 135SG005M is also a symbol that is not hidden during the variable display and is always displayed in the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5.

In the feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIG. 10-3, a decorative symbol is arranged in the central portion of the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5, and the small symbol 135SG005M is the first display device 5. 1 At the left end of the display area 135SG005F, the size is smaller than the decorative pattern. Therefore, the visibility of the small symbol 135SG005M is lower than the visibility of the decorative symbol.

Further, in the lower center of the first display area 135SG005F in the feature unit 135SG, an active display area 135SG005A for displaying the hold display corresponding to the variable display during execution as the active display is provided.

Hereinafter, in the feature unit 135SG, the hold display and the active display may be collectively referred to as a specific display.

FIG. 10-4 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 135SG. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte structure, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always set to "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is set to "0". The command form shown in FIG. 10-4 (A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 10-4 (A), the command 8001H is the first variable display start command for designating the start of the variable display in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. .. The command 8002H is a second variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a symbol (also referred to as an effect symbol). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the content of instruction by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data is set according to the variation pattern to be specified.

The command 8CXXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 10-4 (B), it is determined whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing", "big hit", or "small hit". Different EXT data are set according to the result (pre-determined result) and the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is to be used when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 10-4 (B), the command 8C00H is the first variable display result designation command indicating a predetermined result indicating that the variable display result is “missing”. .. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit B" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C". The command 8C04H is the fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot". The command 8C05H is the sixth variable display result designation command for notifying the predetermined result that the variable display result is a "small hit".

The command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command for designating the change stop (confirmation) of the decorative symbol in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a game state designation command for designating the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, different EXT data are set according to, for example, the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, the command 9500H is used as the first game state specification command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time saving control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H is executed by the time saving control. On the other hand, it is a second game state specification command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, time saving state) in which probability change control is not performed. In addition, the command 9502H is used as the third game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high probability low base state, time saving no probability change state) in which the time saving control is performed while the probability change control is performed, and the command 9503H is used as the time saving control and probability change. This is the fourth game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high accuracy high base state, time reduction probability change state) in which control is performed together.

The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") for designating the display of an effect image indicating the start of a big hit game or a small hit game. The command A1XXH is a notification command during the opening of the big winning opening that notifies that the big winning opening is in the open state in the big hit game state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after opening the big winning opening that notifies that it is a period during which the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big hit game state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for designating the display of the effect image at the end of the big hit game or the small hit.

In the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determination result and the jackpot type determination result, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result specification command. .. Alternatively, in the hit start designation command or the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result specification command. .. In the notification command during opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening of the big winning opening, different EXT data are set according to the number of round executions (for example, "1" to "10") in the big hit state described later, for example. ..

The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) is generated. This is a first start opening winning designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A has been satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) is generated. , The second start opening winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B has been satisfied.

The command C1XXH is a first hold storage number notification command for notifying the first special figure hold storage number in order to make it possible to specify the special figure hold storage number. The command C2XXH is a second hold storage number notification command for notifying the second special figure hold storage number in order to make it possible to specify the special figure hold storage number. The first hold memory number notification command is, for example, when the first start opening prize designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied. , Is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second hold memory number notification command is, for example, when the second start opening prize designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied. , Is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. Further, the first hold storage number notification command and the second hold storage number notification command are used in the special figure game when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the hold storage number decreases). It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution.

Instead of the first hold storage number notification command and the second hold storage number notification command, the total hold storage number notification command for notifying the total hold storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total hold storage number notification command may be used to notify an increase (or decrease) of the total hold storage number.

The command C4XXXH and the command C6XXH are effect control commands (winning determination result designation commands) indicating the contents of the winning determination result. Of these, the command C4XXH is a symbol designation command indicating whether or not the variable display result is a "big hit", a judgment result of the big hit type (probability change or non-probability change), and a small hit as the judgment result at the time of winning. .. Further, the command C6XXH is a variation category command indicating a determination result of whether the random value for determining the variation pattern is a variation pattern of "non-reach", "super reach", or "other" as the determination result at the time of winning. Is.

The commands shown in FIG. 10-4 (A) are examples, and some of these commands may not be provided, or different commands may be used in place of these commands. You may add a command different from the command in. For example, a prize ball number notification command for making it possible to specify the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of a game ball at each winning opening, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41. A passage notification command, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times that the probability change control or the time reduction control is executed, or the like may be provided.

FIG. 10-5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 10-5, in the feature unit 135SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern , Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for determining the display result of the general map is controlled so as to be countable. In addition, a random number value other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data indicating a part or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154 shown in FIG. 10-10, and updates various numerical data by software to update the random number value. Numerical data indicating a part of MR1 to MR4 may be counted.

The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as a special symbol in the special figure game as a "big hit" to the big hit game state, for example. It takes a value in the range of "1" to "65536". The random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type has any of "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C", and "non-probability variation jackpot" when the variable display result is "big hit". It is a random value used to determine, for example, a value in the range of "1" to "100".

The random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern is a random value used to determine the fluctuation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to any of a plurality of types prepared in advance, and is, for example, "1" to "1" to "". It takes a value in the range of 997.

The random number value MR4 for determining the normal figure display result is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal figure game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per normal figure" or "out of normal figure". It is a random number value to be obtained, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "13", for example.

FIG. 10-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 135SG uses a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The first special figure and the second special figure may use individual special figure display result determination tables.

The special figure display result determination table 1 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. This is the referenced table.

In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 135SG, depending on whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the special figure display result judgment table 1, whether or not the table data indicating the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment is controlled to the big hit game state with the special figure display result as a "big hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 135SG, when the game state is the probability change state (high probability state), more judgment values are obtained than when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). It is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the probability change state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the big hit game state when it is in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Then, the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state is higher than the probability of being determined (about 1/300 in the main feature unit 135SG) (about 1 in the main feature unit 135SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table 1, it is determined that when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probability changing state (high probability state), it is controlled to the jackpot gaming state as compared with the case of the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that the probability of the game is high.

Further, FIG. 10-6 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 2 stored in the ROM 101. The special figure display result determination table 2 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite special symbol that becomes The table referenced for.

In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the feature unit 135SG, regardless of whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit".

In the special figure display result determination table 2, whether or not the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is controlled to the small hit game state with the special figure display result as "small hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result judgment table 2 in the feature unit 135SG, the number of judgment values assigned to the "small hit" is different between the case of the special figure game of the first special figure and the case of the second special figure. There is. Specifically, in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure, the judgment value is assigned to "small hit", but in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, it is assigned to "small hit". Judgment value is not assigned. Therefore, as will be described later, the variable display of the second special figure is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special figure, and the second start winning is formed by the variable winning ball device 6B by executing the time saving control. In the high base state where a prize is given to the mouth and a lot of variable display of the second special figure is executed, "small hit" is almost not generated, and the second start formed by the variable winning ball device 6B. In a high base state in which a game ball easily enters the winning opening, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a small hit in which a large number of game balls cannot be obtained and to prevent the game interest from being deteriorated.

FIG. 10-7 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. When the jackpot type determination table in the feature unit 135SG is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big hit", any of a plurality of jackpot types can be selected based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type. It is a table referenced to determine the crab. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first). 2 The numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot A", depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots such as "probability variation jackpot B" and "probability variation jackpot C".

Here, the jackpot type in the feature unit 135SG will be described with reference to FIG. 10-7 (B). In the feature unit 135SG, the jackpot type includes high accuracy control and time saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming state. "Probability change big hit A" and "Probability change big hit B" that are executed and shift to the high accuracy high base state, and high accuracy low base state where high accuracy control is executed but time saving control is not executed after the end of the big hit game state. A "probability variation jackpot C" that shifts and a "non-probability variation jackpot" that shifts to a low probability high base state by executing only the time saving control after the end of the jackpot game state are set.

The jackpot game state by the "probability variation jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player. On the other hand, the jackpot game state by the "probability variation jackpot B" is a normal open jackpot that is repeatedly executed five times (so-called 5 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state that is advantageous to the player. .. The big hit game state by the "probability change big hit C" is a normal open big hit in which the land that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called 2 rounds). .. In addition, the jackpot game state by "probability variation jackpot C" and "non-probability variation jackpot" is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state which is advantageous for the player. It is usually an open jackpot. Therefore, "Probability change jackpot A" is called 10 rounds (10R) probability variation jackpot, "Probability variation jackpot B" is called 5 rounds (5R) probability variation jackpot, and "Probability variation jackpot C" is called 2 rounds (2R) probability variation jackpot. It may be called.

Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit game state in the feature unit 135SG changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state which is advantageous to the player twice, and the opening time is 0.1 seconds. It has become. After the small hit game is completed, the game state immediately before the small hit game is inherited.

The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probability variation jackpot are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurs again is a probability variation big hit, the high probability control and the time saving control are executed again after the end of the big hit game state, so that the big hit game state continuously occurs without going through the normal state. , So-called consecutive villa state.

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "non-probability change big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature unit 135SG), or the special figure of the predetermined number of times. It ends when it becomes a big hit game state before the game is executed.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 10-7 (A), "probability variable jackpot A" and "probability variable jackpot A" are set according to whether the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure or the second special figure. The allocation of judgment values for the jackpot types of "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C", and "non-probability variation jackpot" is different. That is, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the determination value in the predetermined range (value in the range of "81" to "100") is "probability change jackpot B" or "probability change" with a small number of rounds. While assigned to the jackpot type of "big hit C", if the special figure that is variably displayed is the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. When the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B Therefore, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" with a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined that the jackpot type is set to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" to control the normal open jackpot state or the high-speed open jackpot state with a small number of rounds. Therefore, for example, by the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, in the gaming state in which the game ball easily enters the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, it is possible to avoid the frequent occurrence of the big hit state in which the number of winning balls obtained is small. It is possible to prevent the game interest from deteriorating.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 10-7 (A), the allocation of the determination value for the jackpot type of "non-probability variation" is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Since it is the same regardless of whether it exists, the probability of becoming a non-probability jackpot and the probability of becoming a probabilistic jackpot are the same regardless of whether it is a special figure game of the first special figure or a second special figure. It is said that.

Therefore, as described above, the allocation of the judgment values for the "probability variation jackpot B" and the "probability variation jackpot C" differs depending on whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Therefore, the allocation of the judgment value to the "probability change jackpot A" also differs depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and for the "probability change jackpot A" having a large number of rounds, the second It is set so that the case of the special figure game of the special figure is easier to determine than the case of the special figure game of the first special figure.

Even in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special figure game of the first special figure is the big hit of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". It may be assigned to a type. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, a smaller judgment value than in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". May be assigned. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to the common table data regardless of whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

FIG. 10-8 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG. In the feature unit 135SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is variable according to each of the case of "non-reach" and the case of "reach". A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern"). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "out of reach" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "out of reach variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the missed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “off”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach is executed. In this feature unit 135SG, as the normal reach fluctuation pattern, a common reach effect of a normal reach is produced by a normal reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is not executed and a normal reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is executed once. Is to be executed. Further, as the super reach variation pattern, there are a super reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is executed twice and a super reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is executed three times, and a common super reach reach. The production is to be executed. That is, the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a form in which only one type of reach effect is provided for each of the normal reach reach effect and the super reach reach effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, as a reach effect of normal reach or a reach effect of super reach, a plurality of reach effects may be provided.

The fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG includes a fluctuation pattern of a special hit corresponding to a case where the variable display result is "small hit" or the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit C". PC1-1) is also included.

As shown in FIG. 10-8, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 135SG is set shorter than that of the super reach variation pattern.

Further, the normal reach variation pattern in the feature unit 135SG includes a variation pattern that does not execute the pseudo-continuous effect that temporarily stops and re-variably displays the decorative symbol during the variable display, and a pseudo-continuous effect that executes the pseudo-continuous effect once during the variable display. There is a fluctuation pattern. In the normal reach variation pattern, the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is not executed during the variable display is set to have a shorter special figure variation time than the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once during the variable display.

Further, the super reach variation pattern in the feature unit 135SG includes a variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed twice during the variable display and a variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display. In the super reach variation pattern, the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed twice during the variable display is set to have a shorter special figure variation time than the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display. ..

In addition, in this feature unit 135SG, since the jackpot expectation that the variable display result becomes "big hit" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach is set to be high, the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern are set. The longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

That is, with respect to the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG, the higher the number of pseudo-continuous effects executed during the variable display, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined first, such as a non-reach type, a normal reach type, a super reach type, and the like. Then, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type, the determination is made using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided, and the random values for determining the variation pattern type are used. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type.

FIG. 10-9 is an explanatory diagram of a method of determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG. In this feature unit 135SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved storages.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10-9, when the variable display result is a non-probability variation jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern is used using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. PB1-1 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1-time jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach pseudo-continuous production 2 times jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-4 (super) It is decided from the reach pseudo-continuous production 3 times jackpot fluctuation pattern). If the variable display result is a probability variation jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot variation pattern), PB1 using the jackpot variation pattern determination table B. -2 (Fluctuation pattern of 1 big hit of normal reach pseudo-continuous production), PB1-3 (Variation pattern of 2 big hits of normal reach pseudo-continuous production), PB1-4 (Variation pattern of 3 big hits of normal reach pseudo-continuous production) ..

As shown in FIG. 10-9, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table B have different determination ratios for PB1-1 to PB1-4. Specifically, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, PB1-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 45%, and PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 20%. PB1-4 is determined at a rate of 5%. On the other hand, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table B, PB1-1 is determined at a rate of 5%, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 20%, PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 30%, and PB1- 4 is determined at a rate of 45%. That is, in the present feature unit 135SG, when the variable display result is a probability variation jackpot, the variation pattern of the super reach is determined at a higher rate than when the variable display result is a non-probability variation jackpot. Furthermore, paying attention to the number of executions of the pseudo-continuous effect, when the variable display result is a probabilistic jackpot, more pseudo-continuous effects are more likely to be executed during the variable display than when the variable display result is a non-probable variable jackpot. There is. Therefore, in the feature unit 135SG, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display and the number of executions of the pseudo-continuous production.

If the variable display result is a small hit, a special hit variation pattern determination table is selected, and the variation pattern is determined to be PC1-1 (special hit variation pattern) using the special hit variation pattern determination table. do.

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 2 or less, the deviation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern determination table A is selected. Using the deviation pattern determination table A, the fluctuation patterns are set to PA1-1 (non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-range fluctuation pattern), and PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production one-time out-of-range fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 3, the deviation pattern determination table B for deviation is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B for use, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 loss fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 3, the deviation pattern determination table B for deviation is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B for use, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 loss fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 4, the deviation pattern determination table C for deviation is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table C, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-3 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 loss fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

If the variable display result is "out of place" in the time saving state (high base state), the out-of-order fluctuation pattern determination table D is selected, and the out-of-order fluctuation pattern determination table D is used to set the variation pattern to PA1-4. (Shortened fluctuation pattern for non-reach time reduction), PA2-1 (normal reach loss fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 time loss fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach pseudo-continuous production 2 times) It is determined from the deviation pattern) and PA2-4 (super reach pseudo-continuous production 3 times deviation fluctuation pattern).

That is, when the variable display result is "off" in the feature unit 135SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of reserved memory of the variable special figure is 3 or 4, or the time is shortened. Since the variable display time is shorter than the normal non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1), the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening fluctuation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4). It is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit while preventing the game from being delayed.

The RAM 102 in the feature unit 135SG has a game control data holding area 135SG150 as shown in FIG. 10-10, for example, as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Corresponding area) is provided. Further, the start winning command buffer 135SG194A has a storage area (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the second special figure reserved storage. The area corresponding to "" is provided. When there is a start prize to the 1st start winning opening or the 2nd starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (1st starting opening winning designation command or the 2nd starting opening winning designation command), the symbol designation command, and the variable category designation A set of four commands, a command and a hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command), is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command receive command buffer 135SG194A have an area for storing these start opening prize designation commands and a symbol designation command. Indicates the area to be stored, the area to store the variable category specification command, the area to store the hold storage number notification command, the area to store the hold display flag, and whether or not it is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, which will be described later. An area (entry) for storing the area for storing the flash effect target flag at the time of winning and the storage area (entry) for storing the first special figure holding storage and the second special figure holding storage separately is secured in association with the number of reserved storages. ing.

The stored contents of these storage areas (entries) are described when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1" or buffer number "2-1") is started. The contents (data) of the hold storage for which the start condition is satisfied are copied to the active display buffer 135SG194B of FIG. 10-11 (C), and the copied contents of the hold storage itself are from the start winning command buffer 135SG194A. Will be deleted. Then, the stored contents of the storage area lower than the deleted reserved storage are shifted to the higher storage area one by one.

In the active display buffer 135SG194B, as described above, when the variable display of the hold storage (buffer number "1-1" or "2-1") is started, the contents of the hold storage for which the start condition is satisfied (the contents of the hold storage (buffer number "1-1" or "2-1") are satisfied.

The storage number notification command is stored in the active display buffer 135SG194B without going through the start winning command receive command buffer 135SG194A. The hold display flag is set when the effect control CPU 120 executes the read-ahead notice setting process (S161) described later.

Then, the stored contents of the active display buffer 135SG194B are cleared (deleted) in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the variable display is terminated.

The hold display flag is a flag indicating the display mode of the active display corresponding to the hold display and the variable display during execution. Although the details will be described later, in the feature unit 135SG, it is possible to suggest the ratio controlled to the big hit game state by the display mode (value of the hold display flag) of the hold display and the active display.

Next, the start winning determination process of the feature unit 135SG executed in step S101 of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 10-12. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting port switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether or not it is in a state (step 135SGS101a). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is in the ON state (step 135SGS101a; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the first special figure, is the predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 135SGS102). The CPU 103 may specify the first special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the first reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154. When the first special figure hold storage number is not the upper limit value in step 135SGS102 (step 135SGS102; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 135SG155 is set to "1" (step 135SGS102; N). Step 135 SGS103).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step 135SGS101a (step 135SGS101; N) or when the first special figure hold storage number reaches the upper limit value in step 135SGS102 (step 135SGS102; Y). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is in the ON state ( Step 135 SGS101b). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is in the ON state (step 135SGS101b; Y), the second special figure hold storage number, which is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 135SGS105). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the second reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154. When the second special figure hold storage number is not the upper limit value in step 135SGS105 (step 135SGS105; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 135SG155 is set to "2" (step 135SGS105; N). Step 135 SGS106).

After executing any of the processes of step 135SGS103 and step 135SGS106, the special figure hold storage number corresponding to the start port buffer value, which is the storage value of the start port buffer, is updated to be added by 1 (step 135SGS107). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first hold storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the second hold storage count value is added by 1. In this way, the first hold memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of reserved storages is also updated to be added by 1 (step 135SGS108). For example, the total hold storage count value, which is the stored value of the total hold storage counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154, may be updated to be added by 1.

After executing the process of step 135SGS108, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determination from the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random number of the game control counter setting unit 135SG154. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for the purpose and the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (step 135SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random number value extracted in this way is stored by being set as hold information at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step 135SGS110). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151A stores numerical data indicating the random numbers MR1 to MR3, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the start port buffer value is "2". Numerical data indicating the random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151B.

The numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type determines whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is set as "big hit", and further, the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step 135SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for determining the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol and the variable display mode including the variable display time.

Following the process of step 135SGS110, the transmission setting of the start port winning designation command according to the start port buffer value is performed (step 135SGS 111). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer. The setting for transmitting the first start opening prize designation command to 12 is made. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 is subjected to. Make settings to send the second start port winning designation command. The start port winning designation command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

Following the process of step 135SGS111, the winning random number value determination process is executed (step 135SGS112). After that, for example, the hold storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by storing the storage address of the hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. (Step 135 SGS113). The hold storage number notification command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 5 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

After executing the process of step 135SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start port buffer value is "1" (step 135SGS114). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step 135SGS114; Y), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 135SGS115), and then the process of step 135SGS104 is performed. move on. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (step 135SGS114; N), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 135SGS116), and then the start winning is won. End the process. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B simultaneously detect a valid start prize for the game ball, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be reliably completed.

FIG. 10-13 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 135SGS112 of FIG. 10-12 as the winning random number value determination process. When the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started in the feature unit 135SG, the special symbol display result (variable display result of the special symbol) is set as a "big hit" by the special symbol normal process (step S110 in FIG. 6). It is determined whether or not to control the jackpot game state. Further, in the variation pattern setting process (step S111 in FIG. 6), the determination of the variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is performed.

On the other hand, apart from these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination processing in step 135SGS112 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). As a result, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of displaying the special symbol, and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined display mode accompanied by super reach. As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the start winning opening is started, that is, whether or not to make a big hit at the start of the variable display is determined. Before, it is determined that the special figure display result is a "big hit" and which category the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the variable display mode, and based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 120 or the like determines. , As will be described later, advance notice effects such as pre-reading advance notice effects will be executed.

In the winning random number value determination process shown in FIG. 10-13 (A), the CPU 103 first confirms the state of the time saving flag and the probability variation flag provided in, for example, the game control flag setting unit 135SG152, for pachinko gaming. The current gaming state of the machine 1 is specified (step 135SGS121). The CPU 103 identifies that it is in the probabilistic state when the probabilistic flag is on, identifies that it is in the time saving state when the probabilistic flag is off and the time saving flag is on, and both the probabilistic flag and the time saving flag are in the time saving state. When it is off, it may be specified that it is in the normal state.

Following the process of step 135SGS121, the special figure display result determination table 1 shown in FIG. 10-6 is selected and set (step 135SGS122). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 135SGS109 of FIG. 10-12 is within the predetermined jackpot determination range (step 135SGS123). In the jackpot determination range, individual determination values assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected by the process of step 135SGS122 are set, and the CPU 103 determines each determination as the random value MR1. It suffices if it is possible to determine whether or not there is a determination value that matches the random number value MR1 by comparing the values one by one. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating a minimum value (lower limit value) and a maximum value (upper limit value) of the judgment value included in the jackpot judgment range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and the minimum value or maximum value of the jackpot judgment range. By comparing, it suffices if it can be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range. At this time, since it is determined that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the reserved data including the random number value MR1 is determined as "big hit".

When it is determined in step 135SGS123 that the jackpot is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is not achieved in the variable display (step 135SGS123; N), the special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 10-6. 2 is selected and set (step 135SGS124). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 135SGS109 of FIG. 10-12 is within the predetermined small hit determination range (step 135SGS125).

When the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is within the predetermined small hit determination range, that is, when it is determined to be a small hit in the variable display (step 135SGS125; Y), the variable display result is "small hit". The transmission setting of the sixth symbol designation command, which is the symbol designation command corresponding to the above, is executed (step 135SGS126), the variation pattern determination table for special hits is selected and set (step 135SGS127), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS138. ..

If the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is not within the predetermined small hit judgment range, that is, if the variable display result is "missing" in the variable display, the symbol corresponding to the variable display result being "missing". The transmission setting of the first symbol designation command, which is a designated command, is executed (step 135SGS128), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is on, that is, whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state (step). 135SGS129). When the time saving flag is off (step 135SGS129; N), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set, and when the time reduction flag is on (step 135SGS129; Y), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set. Table D is selected and set (step 135SGS131). The deviation pattern determination table A is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the number of reserved storages is 2 or less. Further, the deviation pattern determination table D is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the gaming state is a high base state in which the time saving control is executed.

In the feature unit 135SG, in addition to the deviation pattern determination table A and the deviation variation pattern determination table D, the deviation pattern determination table B used when the number of reserved storages is three , The deviation pattern determination table C used when the number of reserved storages is 4, is prepared in advance, but as shown in FIG. 10-9, these are out of the deviation pattern determination tables A to C. In the deviation pattern determination table A, 600 determination values from 0 to 599 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. In the fluctuation pattern judgment table B, 700 judgment values from 0 to 699 are assigned to the non-reach fluctuation patterns within the range that the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern judgment can take, and the fluctuation pattern judgment table for deviation is assigned. In C, 800 determination values from 0 to 799 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take. On the other hand, in the deviation pattern determination tables A to C, 97 determination values from 901 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach within the range that the random number value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. ..

Therefore, by determining the variation pattern using the deviation pattern determination table A in step 135SGS126, the determination of non-reach and super reach is always performed even if the number of reserved memories changes after the determination. Therefore, in the determination at the time of starting winning, the variation pattern determination table A for loss is used for determination.

Further, when it is determined in step 135SGS123 that the jackpot is within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is in the variable display (step 135SGS123; Y), as shown in FIG. 10-13 (A). , The jackpot type is determined based on the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type (step 135SGS132). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the jackpot type determination table data from the table data that composes the jackpot type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

In addition, a symbol designation command according to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot A, a third symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot B, and a probability variation jackpot C. Executes the transmission setting of the 4th symbol designation command, and if it is a non-variable jackpot, the transmission setting of the 5th symbol designation command (step 135SGS133), and then determines whether or not the determined jackpot type is a non-variable jackpot. (Step 135 SGS134). When the determined jackpot type is a non-probability variation jackpot (step 135SGS134; Y), the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A is selected and set as a table for determining the jackpot fluctuation pattern (step 135SGS135), and the step Proceed to 135SGS138.

If the determined jackpot type is a probability variation jackpot (step 135SGS134; N), the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected and set (step 135SGS136), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS138.

After executing any of the processes of step 135SGS127, step 135SGS130, step 135SGS131, step 135SGS135, and step 135SGS136, a numerical value indicating each fluctuation pattern judgment table set in each of these steps and a random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment. Using the data, the variation category according to the range of the determination values including the random number MR3 is determined (step 135SGS138). In this feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIG. 10-13 (B), when at least the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode is "non-reach" in common regardless of the total number of reserved storages. A variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", a variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", and a variable category of "other" that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach). It suffices if it can be determined whether or not the variable category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

After that, after making a setting for transmitting the variable category designation command according to the determination result by the process of step 135SGS138 to the effect control board 12 (step 135SGS139), the winning random number value determination process is ended.

FIG. 10-14 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S75 of FIG. 8 as the command analysis process. In the command analysis process shown in FIGS. 10-14, the effect control CPU 120 first receives from the main board 11 transmitted via the relay board 15 by confirming the stored contents of the effect control command reception buffer. Determine if there is a command (step 135SGS221). At this time, if there is no received command (step 135SGS221; N), the command analysis process ends.

If there is a receive command in step 135SGS221 (step 135SGS221; Y), for example, by checking the MODE data of the receive command, it is determined whether or not the receive command is the first start opening winning designation command. (Step 135SGS222).

If the reception command is not the first start opening prize designation command in step 135SGS222 (step 135SGS222; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second start opening prize designation command (step 135SGS224).

If the reception command is not the second start opening winning designation command in step 135SGS224 (step 135SGS224; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is a symbol designation command (step 135SGS226). If the received command is not a symbol designation command in step 135SGS226 (step 135SGS226; N), it is determined whether or not the received command is a variable category command (step 135SGS227). If the received command is not a variable category command in step 135SGS227 (step 135SGS227; N), it is determined whether or not the received command is the first hold storage number notification command (step 135SGS228).

If the reception command is not the first hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS228 (step 135SGS228; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second hold storage number notification command (step 135SGS230).

When the reception command is the first start opening winning designation command in step 135SGS222 (step 135SGS222; Y), or when the reception command is the second start opening winning designation command in step 135SGS224 (step 135SGS224; Y), in step 135SGS226. When the receive command is a symbol designation command (step 135SGS226; Y), when the receive command is a variable category command in step 135SGS227 (step 135SGS227; Y), the receive command is the first hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS228. In the case (135SGS228; Y), when the reception command is the second hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS230 (step 135SGS230; Y), the reception command is sent to the start winning command buffer 135SG194A shown in FIG. 10-11. It is stored at the beginning of the free area in the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS233), and the process returns to the process of step 135SGS221.

Specifically, in step 135SGS233, when the hold storage does not exist and the variable display is not being executed, the receive command is stored in the active display buffer 135SG194B, and when the hold storage exists or the variable display is being executed, the receive command is stored. , The reception command may be stored at the beginning of the free area in the reception command buffer 135SG194A at the time of starting winning.

When the hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command) is received together with the variable display start command (first variable display start command or second variable display start command) , The hold storage number notification command may not be stored in the reception command buffer 135SG194A at the time of starting winning. That is, it suffices that the effect control commands received in response to the occurrence of the start winning can be sequentially stored from the beginning of the free area in the start winning command buffer 135SG194A.

If the reception command is not the second hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS230 (step 135SGS230; N), settings are made according to other reception commands (step 135SGS234), and the process returns to step 135SGS221.

In the command analysis process of the feature unit 135SG, if the received command is any of the start opening prize designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category command, and the hold storage number notification command, the received command is used when the start prize is won. The form of sequentially storing from the beginning of the free area of the reception command buffer 135SG194A has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and when the reception command is the first start opening winning designation command, the hold storage number notification command If a timer for waiting for reception is set and the hold storage number notification command is not received before the timer goes out, the entry hold storage that has not received the hold storage number notification command will be described later. It may be set out of the target of the reading notice effect.

Next, the effect control process processing in the feature unit 135SG will be described. As shown in FIG. 10-15, in the effect control process process, the effect control CPU 120 executes the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161), and then the active display area 135SG005A, the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, and the second hold. The specific display display start effect execution process (step 135SGS162) for executing the specific display display start effect is executed as the display start animation of the hold display in the storage display area 135SG005U and the display start animation of the active display in the active display area 135SG005A. Further, after the specific display display start effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 performs the winning flash effect execution process (step 135SGS163) for executing the winning flash effect, and after the above-mentioned specific display display start effect is completed. To execute a specific display rotation display effect (see FIGS. 10-19 (B-1) to 10-19 (B-4)) as a rotation animation according to the value of the display mode flag of the hold display or the active display. When the execution of the hold display notice effect is determined as the pre-reading notice in the specific display rotation display effect execution process (step 135SGS164) and the feature unit 135SG, the variable display based on the hold memory that is the target of the hold display notice effect is displayed. Start port lamp light emission effect execution process (step 135SG165) for executing the start port lamp light emission effect for emitting the start port lamp 135SG009S in a color corresponding to the display mode of the hold display / active display based on the hold memory until the end. Is executed, and any of the processes of steps S170 to S177 is executed.

The specific display rotation display effect execution process in the feature unit 135SG is a process of shifting each hold display to the next display position based on the start of the variable display and displaying it as a rotation animation, and the hold display is active as an active display. It also includes a process of shifting to the display area 135SG005A and displaying it as a rotation animation.

FIG. 10-16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 161 of FIG. 10-15 as the pre-reading notice setting process. In the read-ahead notice setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning command buffer 135SG194A or the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS240), and determines whether or not there is an entry in which the display mode flag is not set. Determine (step 135SGS241). If there is no entry for which the display mode flag is not set (step 135SGS241; N), the read-ahead notice setting process is completed, and if there is an entry for which the display mode flag is not set (step 135SGS241; Y), the display is already displayed. It is determined whether or not there is an entry in which the aspect flag is set to "1" or "2", that is, whether or not the hold display notice effect as the look-ahead notice effect is already being executed (step 135SGS242). ..

When there is no entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2" (step 135SGS242; N), it is further determined whether or not the symbol designation command of the entry indicates a small hit (step). 135SGS243). When the symbol designation command of the entry does not indicate a small hit (step 135SGS243; N), the variable display result is specified from the symbol designation command of the entry (step 135SGS244a), and the variable category from the variable category command of the entry. (Step 135SGS244b). Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the hold display notice effect is executed and the display pattern based on the specified variable display result and variable category (step 135SGS245).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10-17, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is non-reach, the hold display notice effect is not executed (hold display or active display) at a rate of 95%. The display mode of is determined to be white display pattern α), and the hold display notice effect is determined to be executed in the display pattern β (display mode of hold display or active display is blue) at a rate of 5%, and 0%. It is decided to execute the hold display notice effect with the display pattern γ (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is red) at the ratio of.

In addition, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is other (normal reach), the display pattern α in which the hold display notice effect is not executed (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is white) at a rate of 80%. ), And the hold display notice effect is executed with the display pattern β (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is blue) at a rate of 20%, and the hold display notice effect is displayed at a rate of 0%. Decide to execute with γ (display mode of hold display or active display is red).

In addition, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is super reach, the hold display notice effect is not executed (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is white display pattern α) at a rate of 65%. It is decided that the hold display notice effect is executed in the display pattern β (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is blue) at a rate of 25%, and the hold display notice effect is displayed in the display pattern γ (blue) at a rate of 10%. Decide to execute the display mode of the hold display or the active display in red).

If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the hold display notice effect (display pattern α in which the display mode of the hold display or the active display is white) is determined at a rate of 15%, and the rate is 30%. It is decided to execute the hold display notice effect in the display pattern β (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is blue), and the hold display notice effect is displayed in the display pattern γ (the display mode of the hold display or the active display) at a rate of 55%. To be executed in red).

That is, in this feature unit 135SG, when the hold display or the active display is displayed in red, the ratio of the target variable display result to the big hit (big hit expectation) is high, and the hold display or the active display is displayed in white. In this case, the rate at which the target variable display result is out of order is set to be the highest (expected jackpot according to the display color of the hold display or active display: red> blue> white).

Returning to FIG. 10-16, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the hold display advance notice effect is determined in step 135SGS245 (step 135SGS246). When the execution of the hold display notice effect is determined in step 135SGS245 (step 135SGS246; Y), a value (“1” or “2”) corresponding to the determined display pattern is set in the display mode flag of the entry (step 135SGS246; Y). Step 135SGS247), the read-ahead notice setting process is terminated.

When there is already an entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2" (step 135SGS242; Y), when the symbol designation command of the entry indicates a small hit (step 135SGS243; Y). When it is decided not to execute the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS246; N), dig in the display mode flag of the entry. C. Set "0" corresponding to the non-execution of the display notice effect (step 135SGS248). The read-ahead notice setting process ends.

It should be noted that the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a form in which the pre-reading notice effect for determining the display mode of the hold display and the effect for determining the display mode of the active display can be collectively executed as the hold display notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the pre-reading notice effect for determining the display mode of the hold display and the effect for determining the display mode of the active display can be individually executed as different effects. good.

FIG. 10-18 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 135SGS162 of FIG. 10-15 as the specific display display start effect execution process. In the specific display display start effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not either the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is being executed (step 135SGS251). Whether or not either the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is being executed is determined by the process timer for the specific display display start effect A or the process timer for the specific display display start effect B, which will be described later. It may be determined whether or not the operation is in progress.

When the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is not being executed (step 135SGS251; N), whether or not the start prize designation command is received (whether or not the start prize designation command reception flag is set). Is determined (step 135SGS252). When the start prize designation command is not received (step 135SGS252; N), the specific display display start effect execution process is terminated. Further, when the start prize designation command is received (step 135SGS252; Y), the newly generated pending storage entry is specified by referring to the start prize reception command buffer 135SG194A and the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS252; Y). 263SGS273), it is determined whether or not the first special figure is on hold (step 135SGS253a). It should be noted that whether or not the first special figure is reserved may be determined by the start opening winning designation command stored in the entry.

If the entry (specified entry) is not the first special figure reserved storage (step 135SGS253a; N), the process proceeds to step 135SGS255, and if the entry is the first special figure reserved storage (step 135SGS253a; Y), the specific figure is specified. It is determined whether or not the display mode flag of the entry is 0, that is, whether or not the entry is the target of the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS254). When the display mode flag of the specified entry is 0, that is, when the entry is not the target of the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS254; Y), the process proceeds to step 135SGS255.

In the process of step 135SGS255, the effect control CPU 120 selects the process table for the specific display display start effect A according to the display position of the specific display (hold display or active display). Then, the process timer for the specific display display start effect A is started (step 135SGS256).

Further, when the display mode flag of the specified entry is not 0, that is, when the entry is the target of the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS254; N), the display position of the specific display (hold display or active display) is set. Select the corresponding process table for the specific display display start effect B (step 135SGS257). Then, the process timer for the specific display display start effect B is started (step 135SGS258).

After executing step 135SGS256 or step 135SGS258, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device according to the contents of the process data 1 of the set specific display display start effect process table (step 135SGS259), and performs the specific display display start effect execution process. finish.

Further, when the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is being executed (step 135SGS251; Y), the effect control CPU 120 is executing the process timer for the specific display display start effect (specific display display start). The value of the process timer for the effect A or the process timer for the specific display display B is set to -1 (step 135SGS260), and the value is set to -1 for the process timer for the specific display display start effect (running specific display display start effect). Process timer) determines whether or not the timer has expired (step 135SGS261). When the process timer for the specific display display start effect during execution does not time out (step 135SGS261; N), the effect device is controlled according to the contents according to the process data of the process timer for the specific display display start effect being executed. (Step 135SGS262), the specific display display start effect execution process is terminated.

Further, when the process timer for the specific display display start effect being executed is timered out (step 135SGS261; Y), whether or not the process timer for the specific display display start effect is the last process timer for the specific display display start effect. (Step 135SGS263). When the final process timer for the specific display display start effect is timered out (step 135SGS263; Y), the specific display display start effect is ended (step 135SGS267), and the specific display display start effect execution process is ended. When the last process timer for the specific display display start effect is not timered out (step 135SGS263; N), the process data is switched, the next process timer for the specific display display start effect is started, and the next specific display is displayed. The effect device is controlled (step 135SGS264, step 135SGS265, step 135SGS266) according to the contents according to the process data of the display start effect process timer, and the specific display display start effect execution process is ended.

As described above, in the feature unit 135SG, when a start prize is generated and it is decided not to execute the pre-reading notice effect (hold display notice effect) based on the start prize, or the start prize is the second. In the case of a starting prize for the starting port, as shown in FIGS. 10-19 (A), 10-19 (B), 10-19 (B-1) to 10-19 (B-4). , The appearance animation in which the hold display (active display) gradually appears from the bottom to the top is displayed as the specific display display start effect A at the position corresponding to the number of hold memories of the active display area 135SG005A or the hold storage display areas 135SG005D and 135SG005U. NS.

In the feature unit 135SG, the period from the occurrence of the start prize to the end of the appearance animation of the hold display (active display) as the specific display display start effect A is about 0.2 seconds. Then, the hold display (active display) after the end of the specific display display start effect A is the active display area 135SG005A or the hold storage display area 135SG005D, 135SG005U as the other hold display and the active display as the above-mentioned specific display rotation display effect. It shifts to the display by the rotation animation in.

In addition, when a start-up prize is generated, the execution of the pre-reading notice effect (hold display notice effect) is determined based on the start-up prize, and the start-up prize is the start-up prize to the first start port. As shown in FIGS. 10-20 (A) to 10-20 (C) and 10-20 (C-1) to 10-20 (C-4), first, as the specific display display start effect B, first In the image display device 5, an animation in which the character A appears from the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is displayed. After the character A appears from the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the variable display is executed at the timing of the start winning, or if the first special figure hold memory already exists, the character A is the first. 1 An animation that moves to the hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed. At this time, the character A is displayed overlapping with a part of the active display area 135SG005A in the process of moving to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D.

Then, when the character A moves to the first reserved storage display area 135SG005D, as shown in FIGS. 10-20 (C-1) to 10-20 (C-4), the character A is based on the start winning prize. An animation that attacks (acts) on the position where the hold display is displayed is displayed. When the display of the animation is completed, an appearance animation is displayed in which the hold display gradually appears from the lower part to the upper part at the position where the character A attacks.

In the feature unit 135SG, the period from the occurrence of the start winning to the end of the animation in which the character A attacks the position where the hold display of the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed as the specific display display start effect B is completed. It is about 1 second, and the period from the end of the animation to the end of the appearance animation of the hold display is about 0.2 seconds. That is, when the specific display display start effect B is executed for the hold display of the first special figure, it takes 1.2 seconds from the occurrence of the start prize to the completion of the display of the hold display based on the start prize. It takes. Then, the hold display after the end of the specific display display start effect B shifts to the display by the rotation animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D as in the other hold display and the active display as the above-mentioned specific display rotation display effect. ..

When the character A appears from the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning as the specific display display start effect B, the variable display is not executed at the timing of the start winning and the first special figure hold memory does not exist. Displays an animation in which character A moves to the active display area 135SG005A. Then, when the character A moves to the active display area 135SG005A, the active display is displayed based on the start winning prize, as in FIGS. 10-20 (C-1) to 10-20 (C-4). An animation that attacks (acts) on the active display area 135SG005A is displayed. When the display of the animation is completed, an appearance animation is displayed in which the active display gradually appears from the lower part to the upper part at the position where the character A attacks.

In the feature unit 135SG, the period from the occurrence of the start winning to the end of the animation in which the character A attacks the active display area 135SG005A as the specific display display start effect B is about 0.5 seconds, and the animation The period from the end to the end of the appearance animation of the active display is about 0.2 seconds. That is, when the specific display display start effect B is executed for the active display, it takes 0.7 seconds from the occurrence of the start prize to the completion of the display of the active display based on the start prize. Then, the active display after the end of the specific display display start effect B shifts to the display by the rotation animation in the active display area 135SG005A as the above-mentioned specific display rotation display effect.

10-21 and 10-22 are flowcharts showing an example of the process executed in step 135SGS163 of FIG. 10-21 as the flash effect execution process at the time of winning. In the winning flash effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning command buffer 135SG194A and the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS272), and displays them in the starting winning command buffer 135SG194A and the active display buffer 135SG194B. It is determined whether or not there is an entry in which the aspect flag is set to "1" or "2", that is, whether or not the hold display advance notice effect is being executed (step 135SGS273).

When there is an entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2" (step 135SGS273; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the entry is an entry based on the start winning prize to the first start port. It is determined whether or not (step 135SGS274). Whether or not the entry is based on the starting prize for the first starting port may be specified from the starting opening winning designation command stored in the entry.

When the entry is an entry based on a start winning prize to the first start port (step 135SGS274; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the gaming state is a normal state (step 135SGS275). When the gaming state is the normal state (step 135SGS275; Y), whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is any of 0 to 3, that is, the gaming state is the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. (Step 135SGS276). When the value of the effect control process flag is any of 0 to 3 (step 135SGS276; Y), the variation category of the entry (entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2") is super. It is determined whether or not it is reach (step 135SGS277).

When the variable category of the entry is super reach (step 135SGS277; Y), it is determined whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is 2, that is, whether or not the variable display is being executed (step). 135SGS278). When the value of the effect control process flag is 2 (step 135SGS278; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the reach effect is being executed (step 135SGS279). Whether or not the reach effect is being executed may be determined from the contents of the variable display process data and the like.

When the value of the effect control process flag is not 2 (step 135SGS278; N) or when the reach effect is not being executed (step 135SGS279; N), the effect control CPU 120 executes the flash effect at the time of winning based on the variable display result. -Determine non-execution. The variable display result may be specified from the symbol specification command of the entry in which the flash effect target flag at the time of winning is not set.

As shown in FIG. 10-24, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 10%, and the non-execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 90%. If the variable display result is a big hit, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 80%.

That is, in the feature unit 135SG, when the flash effect at the time of winning is executed from the start winning, the ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state is set higher than the case where the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed.

Returning to FIG. 10-21, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined (step 135SG279b). If it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning (step 135SG279b; Y), the flash effect at the time of winning is targeted for the flash effect target flag at the time of winning of the entry (entry in which the flash effect target flag at the time of winning is not set). "1" indicating that the memory is on hold is set (step 135SG280), and the flash effect executing flag at the time of winning is turned on (step 135SG280a). The process table for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is selected, the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data 1 (step 135SGS281 to step 135SGS283), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS292.

As shown in FIG. 10-23, the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is that the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the game effect lamp 9 are used as the flash effect at the time of winning the first term for 1.5 seconds from the occurrence of the start winning. Blinks in a corresponding manner (as shown in FIGS. 10-26 (A) and 10-26 (B), the winning flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are lit at a high brightness C1. And turn off are repeatedly executed), the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the effect image 135SG005E of the lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is displayed on the image display device 5. In addition, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning in this feature unit 135SG is the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first half and the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the second prize, which is output during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the first prize. It is divided into the sound corresponding to the time flash effect. Of these, as the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, a sound having a relatively short output period (for example, 1 second) such as an electronic sound or a voice sound of a specific character may be output once. Further, as the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the second prize, a sound having a longer output period than the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the first prize such as a dedicated BGM or SE (sound effect) may be repeatedly output. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 135SG, in addition to the above-mentioned sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, a plurality of effect sounds such as the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display, which will be described later, are different by using different channels. Simultaneous output is possible from speakers 8L and 8R at volume.

When the entry is an entry based on winning a prize at the second starting port (step 135SG274; N), when the gaming state is not the normal state (step 135SG275; N), the effect control process flag is any of 0 to 3. If not (step 135SG276; N), if the variable category of the entry is not super reach (step 135SG277; N), if the reach effect is in progress (step 135SG279; Y), the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed. When (step 135SG279b) is determined, "0" indicating that the entry is not the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is set in the flash effect target flag at the time of winning (step 135SG279c), and the flash effect execution process at the time of winning is executed. finish.

Further, when the winning flash effect executing flag is on in step 135SGS271 (step 135SGS271; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the process timer for the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term is operating (step). 135SGS284). When the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is operating (step 135SGS284; Y), the value of the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is set to -1 (step 135SGS285), and the value is set to -1 for the previous term. It is determined whether or not the flash effect process timer has timed out at the time of winning (step 135SGS286). When the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term does not timer out (step 135SGS286; N), the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect device according to the contents according to the process data of the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term during execution. Control (step 135SGS287) and proceed to step 135SGS292.

Further, when the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term has timered out (step 135SGS286; Y), it is determined whether or not the last process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term has timered out (step 135SGS288). When the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the last previous term winning is not timered out (step 135SGS288; N), the effect control CPU 120 executes the switching of the process data and starts the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the next previous term winning. , The effect device is controlled according to the contents according to the process data of the next process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (step 135SGS289, step 135SGS290, step 135SGS291), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS292.

Then, in step 135SGS292, the effect control CPU 120 includes a game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the button lamp 135SG009X and the stick lamp 135SG009Y, and the winning flash lamp 135SG009F. Is controlled to blink in a manner corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term. Further, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 (step 135SGS293), and the flash effect execution process at the time of winning is completed. As a mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning may be repeatedly emitted in white or red. In addition, as a mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the button lamp 135SG009X and the stick lamp 135SG009Y and the flash at the time of winning are used. The lamp 135SG009F and the lamp 135SG009F may be made to emit light in the same color.

Further, in step 135SGS288, when the last process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term is timered out (step 135SGS288; Y), the effect control CPU 120 ends the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (step 135SGS294). Then, the process table for flash effect at the time of late winning is selected, the process timer for flash effect at the time of late winning is started, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data 1 (step 135SGS294 to step 135SGS297), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS307.

As shown in FIG. 10-23, the late winning flash effect is the late winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the end of the early winning flash effect to the start timing of the reach effect of the target variable display super reach. A silhouette image of character A imitated by the winning flash lamp 135SG009F on the image display device 5 by blinking in a manner corresponding to the winning flash effect and outputting the sound corresponding to the winning flash effect from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1. This is an effect of displaying 135SG005S. As a mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the second prize, the lamp 135SG009F for the flash at the time of winning may be repeatedly emitted in white or red as in the flash effect at the time of the first prize. Since the flash effect at the time of the second prize is performed with a lower brightness than the flash effect at the time of the first prize (see FIG. 10-28), the actual light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of the prize in the flash effect at the time of the second prize is It will emit light in a darker color than the flash effect at the time of winning the first half.

As shown in FIG. 10-27 (A), the game effect lamp 9 (particularly the frame lamp 9b) has a brightness C2 which is lower than the brightness C1 described above during the period except during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning the first term. It is designed to repeat turning on and off (blinking) at. In particular, the blinking cycle at the brightness C2 is longer than the blinking cycle at the time of executing the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, and during the blinking, it is shown in FIGS. 10-27 (B) to 10-27 (D). As described above, the frame lamp 9b blinks at a plurality of locations while gradually changing the emission color in a manner corresponding to the background image displayed on the image display device 5. For this reason, the game effect lamp 9 during the period other than the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning the first term has a lower impression on the player than the game effect lamp 9 during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning the first term.

Further, in step 135SGS284, when the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning in the first half is not operating, that is, when the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning in the second half is operating (step 135SGS284; N), the effect control CPU 120 is in the second half. The value of the winning flash effect process timer is set to -1 (step 135SGS298), and it is determined whether or not the late winning flash effect process timer has timered out (step 135SGS299). When the late winning flash effect process timer is not timer-out (step 135SGS299; N), the effect device is controlled according to the contents according to the process data of the late winning flash effect process timer being executed (step 135SGS300). ), Proceed to step 135SGS307.

Then, when the late winning flash effect process timer has timered out (step 135SGS299; Y), it is determined whether or not the final late winning flash effect process timer has timered out (step 135SGS301). If the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the last late winning is not timered out (step 135SGS301; N), the process data is switched, the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the next late winning is started, and the process data 1 The effect device is controlled according to the content (step 135SGS302 to step 135SGS304), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS307.

When the last late winning flash effect process timer is timered out (step 135SGS301; Y), the first late winning flash effect process timer is started and the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data 1 (step 135SGS301; Y). Step 135SGS305, step 135SGS306), and step 135SGS307.

In step 135SGS307, the effect control CPU 120 blinks and controls the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in a manner corresponding to the late winning flash effect. Further, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 (step 135SGS308).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 checks the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS309), and whether or not "1" is set in the winning flash effect target flag of the active display buffer 135SG194B, that is, the variable display during execution. Is a variable display of the target of the flash effect at the time of winning (step 135SGS310). When "0" is set in the winning flash effect target flag of the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS310; N), the winning flash effect execution process is terminated. When "1" is set in the winning flash effect target flag of the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS310; Y), it is determined whether or not it is the start timing of the reach effect (step 135SGS311).

When it is the start timing of the reach effect (step 135SGS311; Y), the effect control CPU 120 ends the flash effect at the time of the late winning, turns off the flag during the flash effect at the time of winning (step 135SGS312, step 135SGS313), and at the time of winning. The flash effect execution process ends.

Further, when it is not the start timing of the reach effect (step 135SGS311; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the symbol confirmation command is received (step 135SGS311a). When the symbol confirmation command is received (step 135SGS311a; Y), the flash effect at the time of winning is ended, the flash effect executing flag at the time of winning is turned off (step 135SGS312, step 135SGS313), and the flash effect execution process at the time of winning is executed. finish. When the symbol confirmation command is not received (step 135SGS311a; N), the winning flash effect execution process is terminated without executing the processes of step 135SGS312 and step 135SGS313.

As described above, the flash effect at the time of winning the first half in the feature unit 135SG is an effect that ends when a predetermined effect period (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses, while the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is an effect. It is an effect that is repeatedly executed without ending every time a certain period of time elapses until the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the target.

Further, if it cannot be determined that the effect control CPU 120 is the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the effect target due to the generation of static electricity or the like during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the start timing of the reach effect. At the end timing of the variable display (reception timing of the symbol confirmation command), which is a later timing, it is possible to end the late winning flash effect including the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F.

As shown in step 135SGS281 in FIG. 10-21 and step 135SGS295 in FIG. 10-22, in the feature unit 135SG, the effect control CPU 120 is a production process table of 1 as a flash effect process table at the time of winning a prize in the previous term. Is selected, and 1 production process table is selected as the flash production process table at the time of late winning. In other words, as the production pattern (production period) of the flash production at the time of the first prize and the flash production at the time of the second prize of this feature unit 135SG, the same production mode and the same production period are always used at the time of the first prize. The flash effect and the flash effect at the time of the second prize are executed.

FIG. 10-25 is a flowchart showing the variable display during effect processing (step S172) in the effect control process process. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 sets the respective values of the process timer, the variation time timer, and the variation control timer to -1 (step 135SGS351, step 135SGS352, step 135SGS353). The process timer, the variable display time timer, and the variable display control timer are timers set in the variable display start setting process.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process timer has timed out (step 135SGS356). If the process timer is out of timer (step 135SGS356; Y), the process data is switched (step 135SGS357). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the next set process timer setting value in the process table set in the variable display start setting process in the process timer (step 135SGS358). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect component) is changed based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., which are set next (step 135SGS359). On the other hand, when the process timer is not timer-out (step 135SGS356; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.) The control of the effect device (effect component) is executed according to (step 135SGS360).

In particular, as the control contents of step 135SGS359 and step 135SGS360, the effect control CPU 120 outputs the variable display compatible sound corresponding to the variable display being executed from the speakers 8L and 8R at a volume V2 lower than the volume V1 (step). 135SGS361). The variable display compatible sound in the feature unit 135SG refers to a BGM corresponding to the background image displayed on the image display device 5, a BGM corresponding to the number of pseudo-continuous effects executed during the variable display, and the like. Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term is not executed (step 135SGS362; N), the blinking control is performed in a mode corresponding to the variable display during execution of the game effect lamp 9 (step 135SGS363), while the flash at the time of winning the previous term is performed. During the execution of the effect (step 135SGS362; Y), the blinking control in the mode corresponding to the variable display during the execution of the game effect lamp 9 is not executed (as shown in FIGS. 10-21 and 10-22, the game effect is executed. The lamp 9 is controlled to blink in a manner corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the advance notice effect execution process (step 135SG364). In the advance notice effect execution process, for example, whether or not to execute the advance notice effect during execution of the variable display when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display start setting process, and which effect pattern is used to execute the advance notice effect. It suffices if it is decided whether or not, and the advance notice effect can be executed according to the decision result. Further, when determining the effect pattern of the advance notice effect in the above-mentioned variable display start setting process, the advance notice effect is eventually determined by determining one effect pattern from a plurality of effect patterns at different ratios according to the variable display result. The ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state may be different depending on whether or not it is executed in the effect pattern of.

The effect executed as the advance notice effect in the feature unit 135SG is a line advance notice effect in which the character's dialogue is displayed on the image display device 5 and the jackpot expectation degree differs depending on the displayed dialogue.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 135SGS365). When the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 135SGS365; Y), the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left middle right decorative symbol (displayed 30 ms after the previous display switching of the decorative symbol). Image data of the screen to be displayed) is created and written in a predetermined area of VRAM (step 135SGS366). In this way, the image display device 5 realizes variable display control of the decorative pattern. The display control unit 123 sends a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. In this way, the image display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the decorative symbol in the variable display of the decorative symbol. Further, a predetermined value is reset in the variable display control timer (step 135SGS367).

Further, when the variable display control timer is not timered out (step 135SGS365; N) or after the execution of step 135SGS366, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variable display time timer is timered out (step 135SGS368). .. If the variable display time timer is out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure hit waiting process (step S173) (step 135SGS370). Even if the variable display time timer is not timer-out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation command has been received is set (step 135SGS369; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is waited for per special figure. The value is updated according to (step S173) (step 135SGS370). Variable display time Even if the timer is not out, the control shifts to stop the variable display when a symbol confirmation command is received. Therefore, for example, a fluctuation pattern specification command that indicates a long fluctuation time due to noise between boards. Is received, the variable display of the decorative symbol can be terminated when the regular variable display time elapses (at the end of the variable display of the special symbol).

In the process table used for the variable display control of the decorative symbol, the process data during the variable display of the decorative symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variable display time of the decorative symbol. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n in the process of step 135SGS356 times out, there is no process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.) to be switched, and the effect control of the decorative symbol based on the process table is performed. finish.

Next, the operation mode of each effect device at the time of executing the flash effect at the time of winning in the feature unit 135SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-28 to 10-68. First, FIG. 10-28 is a timing chart when a start winning is generated during execution of the variable display and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the start winning. In addition, FIG. 10-28 shows both the case where the execution of the hold display notice effect is decided when the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided based on the start winning, and the case where the non-execution of the hold display notice effect is decided. It is a corresponding timing chart. 10-29 to 10-48 show the image display device 5 when a start winning is generated during the execution of the variable display and the execution of the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the start prize. It is a figure which shows the effect mode in the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning. In FIGS. 10-49 to 10-68, a start prize is generated during the execution of the variable display, and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the start prize, while the non-execution of the hold display notice effect is determined. It is a figure which shows the effect mode in the image display device 5 and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in the case of this.

In the case of "when the execution of the hold display notice effect and the winning flash effect is decided" shown in FIGS. 10-29 to 10-48, the display mode of the hold display, which is the target of the winning flash effect, is the display pattern β or This is a case where the display pattern is γ (displayed in a blue or red circle), and the “notice of pending display while the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided” shown in FIGS. 10-49 to 10-68. "When it is decided not to execute the effect" refers to a case where the display mode of the hold display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is displayed in the display pattern α (displayed in a white circle).

First, as shown in FIGS. 10-28 and 10-29 (A), while the variable display is being executed, the image display device 5 executes the variable display of the decorative symbol, and the speakers 8L and 8R perform the variable display. The corresponding sound is output at volume V2. Further, during the execution of the variable display, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks at the cycle T0 corresponding to the variable display (FIGS. 10-27 (A) to 10-27). (Blinking in the mode shown in (D)) is controlled.

Further, during the execution of the variable display, an image corresponding to the effect pattern of the advance notice effect is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the advance notice effect, and the notice effect is displayed from the speakers 8L and 8R. A sound corresponding to the effect pattern (for example, a sound corresponding to a warning effect such as a sound in which a character or the like speaks a character displayed on the image display device 5) is output at a volume V2. Further, as the hold storage, there are three first special figure hold memories (three hold displays are displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D).

When a prize (starting prize) to the first starting port occurs during such a variable display, and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning, the figure is shown in the figure. As shown in 10-28 and FIG. 10-29 (B), the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIGS. 10-28 and 10-29 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 (V1> V2) from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off. Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-28, 10-30 (C), and 10-30 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5. At the same time, the blinking control of the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the stick lamp 135SG009X, and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the time of winning is started. In the blinking control, each lamp is lit at a brightness C1 which is higher than the brightness C2.

Therefore, in the winning flash effect of the feature unit 135SG, the silhouette image 135SG005S and the small symbol 135SG005M are not displayed in duplicate, and the player displays the silhouette image 135SG005S during the execution of the winning flash effect. Regardless of whether or not it is inside, it is possible to confirm whether or not the variable display is being executed by visually recognizing the small symbol 135SG005M.

As shown in FIGS. 10-33 (J), 10-34 (K), and 10-34 (L), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the decorative symbol are displayed on the image display device 5. The small symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating that it is out of alignment (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the feature unit 135SG is executed regardless of whether or not it is the symbol determination period. That is, as shown in FIG. 10-33 (J), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is overlapped and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period, and the speakers 8L and 8R display the silhouette image 135SG005S. At the time of winning, the flash effect compatible sound is output at the volume V2.

When the symbol confirmation period ends, a new variable display is started. At this time, in the image display device 5, the hold display first displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is moved to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display and is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The display position of the remaining hold display is shifted to the right by one. Further, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 is also started.

Hereinafter, as shown in FIGS. 10-34 (K) to 10-41 (Z), in the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning. The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are repeatedly executed.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 10-38 (S) to 10-40 (X), in the variable display in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped during the period (FIG. 10-40 (W)). ). In this feature unit 135SG, the decorative symbols showing normal numbers are temporarily stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the special symbol that notifies the temporary stop is temporarily stopped in the decorative symbol display area 5C inside. In the latter term, as a flash effect at the time of winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, and the image display device 5. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S is executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-41 (Y) and 10-41 (Z), when the variable display that is out of the normal reach is completed in response to the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the feature unit 135SG is also executed during the symbol determination period of the variable display that is out of the normal reach. That is, as shown in FIGS. 10-41 (Y) and 10-41 (Z), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is duplicatedly displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period. At the same time, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2.

As shown in FIGS. 10-40 (W) and 10-40 (X), the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, and the movable lamp 9d during the period of temporary stop of the decorative symbol. It emits light in a light emitting mode according to the temporary stop of the decorative symbol (for example, in the case of the temporary stop of the decorative symbol for the first time in the variable display, it is blue at brightness C2), and the background image is based on the execution of the revariable display. It returns to the light emitting mode according to. Further, during the period during which the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M is executed regardless of the temporary stop, so that the player can visually recognize the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M. It is possible to recognize that the variable display has not been completed yet.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-42 (a) and 10-42 (b), when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started, it is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The hold display corresponding to the variable display moves to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display.

As shown in FIGS. 10-43 (c) to 10-47 (l), in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, the advance notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 10-43 (d) and 10-44 (e)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at least twice during the variable display (FIGS. 10-45 (g) to 10-46 (j)). reference).

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 10-46 (j)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the brightness C2 and the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

As shown in FIGS. 10-45 (g) and 10-46 (j), during the period of temporary stop of the decorative symbol, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are the decorative symbols. (For example, the first temporary stop is blue at brightness C2, the second temporary stop is green at brightness C2), and the revariable display is executed. Based on this, the light emitting mode returns to the light emitting mode according to the background image. Although not shown in the feature unit 135SG, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, and the attacker are used during the third temporary stop period of the decorative symbol. The lamp 9c and the movable lamp 9d emit light in a light emitting mode (for example, red at brightness C2) corresponding to the temporary stop of the decorative pattern for the third time, and emit light according to the background image based on the execution of the revariable display. Return to the aspect.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-48 (m) and 10-48 (n), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. After the 135SG005F is once whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white), the reach effect is started. It should be noted that the feature unit 135SG suggests that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

At the whiteout timing, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, in the image display device 5. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S ends.

Further, at the whiteout timing, the blinking of the game effect lamps 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y ends in the brightness C2 and the cycle T0. .. The main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d remain off during the whiteout period.

That is, during the whiteout period, the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d are kept off at the time of winning. Then, from the timing when the whiteout is completed, as a mode corresponding to the reach effect described above, according to the reach effect of the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d at the time of winning. The light emitting mode (lighting at brightness C1) is started.

Further, during the whiteout period, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. That is, during the whiteout period, no sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and there is no sound. From the timing when the whiteout is completed, the above-mentioned winning flash lamp 135SG009F, main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, Along with the start of light emission mode (lighting at brightness C1) according to the reach effect of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d, the output of the reach effect corresponding sound, which is the sound corresponding to the reach effect, is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. .. As the reach effect compatible sound in this feature unit 135SG, a BGM or the like different from the variable display compatible sound is output so that the player can recognize that the reach effect (super reach reach effect) is being executed. Just do it.

As shown in FIG. 10-28, when a start prize is generated during the execution of the variable display and the execution of the hold display notice effect is decided based on the start prize, the start port lamp light emission effect is performed. From the start winning timing, the start port lamp 135SG009S has a color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect (for example, blue when the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern β, and the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern γ. In the case of red), the light emission is started.

The light emission of the start port lamp 135SG009S is an effect that is executed completely independently of the above-mentioned flash effect at the time of winning, and regardless of the blinking mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning or the game effect lamp 9, the above-mentioned start From the time of winning until the end of the variable display of the target of the start port lamp light emission effect (variable display of the target of the flash effect at the time of winning), the light emission in the color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect is continued.

Next, in the start winning while the variable display is being executed, the case where the execution of the hold display notice effect is not determined together with the flash effect at the time of winning will be described.

First, as shown in FIGS. 10-28 and 10-49 (A), while the variable display is being executed, the image display device 5 executes the variable display of the decorative symbol, and the speakers 8L and 8R perform the variable display. The corresponding sound is output at volume V2. Further, during the execution of the variable display, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is lit, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks at the cycle T0 corresponding to the variable display (FIGS. 10-27 (A) to 10-27). (Blinking in the mode shown in (D)) is controlled.

Further, during the execution of the variable display, an image corresponding to the effect pattern of the advance notice effect is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the advance notice effect, and the notice effect is displayed from the speakers 8L and 8R. A sound corresponding to the effect pattern (sound corresponding to the advance notice effect) is output at the volume V2. Further, as the hold storage, there are three first special figure hold memories (three hold displays are displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D).

When a prize (starting prize) to the first starting port occurs during such a variable display, and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning, the figure is shown in the figure. As shown in 10-28 and FIG. 10-49 (B), the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is started.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIGS. 10-28 and 10-49 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 (V1> V2) from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off. Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-28, 10-50 (C), and 10-50 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5. At the same time, the blinking control of the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the stick lamp 135SG00X, and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the time of winning is started. In the blinking control, each lamp is lit at a brightness C1 which is higher than the brightness C2.

Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, as shown in FIGS. 10-49 (B), 10-50 (C), and 10-50 (D), the specific display display start effect A described above is used. , An appearance animation is displayed in which the hold display, which is the target of the running flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term), gradually appears from the bottom to the top (FIGS. 10-19 (B-1) to 10-19. (B-4)). The hold display for which the appearance animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D has been completed shifts to the rotation display as the other hold display as the specific display rotation display effect.

In particular, when the specific display display start effect A is executed together with the flash effect at the time of winning, the appearance animation of the hold display ends when the effect image 135SG005E is still being displayed on the image display device 5. On the other hand, when the above-mentioned specific display display start effect B is executed together with the flash effect at the time of winning, the appearance animation of the hold display ends after the display of the effect image 135SG005E is completed on the image display device 5 (FIGS. 10-29 to 10-29 to FIG. (See FIG. 10-32). That is, when the specific display display start effect A is executed, the display of the hold display (appearance animation) is completed at an earlier timing than when the specific display display start effect B is executed, and the animation shifts to the rotation animation. There is.

That is, in the present feature unit 135SG, when a start winning is generated during the variable display and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided based on the starting winning, the display of the hold display based on the starting winning is completed. The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 are started. The appearance animation of the hold display (specific display) accompanied by the execution of the specific display display start effect A in the feature unit 135SG is completed during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term.

When the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is completed, the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is started from the end timing. As shown in FIGS. 10-28, 10-52 (G) and 10-52 (H), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V2 from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the same time, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 (cycle T2> cycle T1). In addition, the image display device 5 starts displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S of the character A around the flash lamp 135SG009F at regular intervals.

At the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning the first half and the start timing of the flash effect at the time of winning the second half, the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y as the flash effect at the time of winning the first half, The light emitting mode (blinking in the brightness C1 and the cycle T1) corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d) ends. Then, the light emitting mode of the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y is shown in the background image displayed on the image display device 5. It switches to the corresponding mode (blinking in brightness C2 and period T0 shown in FIGS. 10-27 (A) to 10-27 (D)).

At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the feature unit 135SG is executed regardless of whether or not it is the symbol determination period. That is, as shown in FIG. 10-53 (J), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is overlapped and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period, and the speakers 8L and 8R display the silhouette image 135SG005S. At the time of winning, the flash effect compatible sound is output at the volume V2.

When the symbol confirmation period ends, a new variable display is started. At this time, in the image display device 5, the hold display first displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is moved to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display and is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The display position of the remaining hold display is shifted to the right by one. Further, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 is also started.

Hereinafter, as shown in FIGS. 10-54 (K) to 10-61 (Z), in the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning. The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R at the volume V2, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the brightness C2 and the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are repeatedly executed.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 10-58 (S) to 10-60 (X), in the variable display in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped during the period (FIG. 10-60 (W)). ). In this feature unit 135SG, the decorative symbols showing normal numbers are temporarily stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the special symbol that notifies the temporary stop is temporarily stopped in the decorative symbol display area 5C inside. As a flash effect at the time of the second prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking at the cycle T2, the image display device 5 The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S in is executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-61 (Y) and 10-51 (Z), when the variable display that is out of the normal reach is completed in response to the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the feature unit 135SG is also executed during the symbol determination period of the variable display that is out of the normal reach. That is, as shown in FIGS. 10-61 (Y) and 10-61 (Z), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is overlapped and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period. At the same time, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2.

As shown in FIGS. 10-60 (W) and 10-60 (X), the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, and the movable lamp 9d during the period of temporary stop of the decorative symbol. It emits light in a light emitting mode according to the temporary stop of the decorative symbol (for example, in the case of the temporary stop of the decorative symbol for the first time in the variable display, it is blue at brightness C2), and the background image is based on the execution of the revariable display. It returns to the light emitting mode according to. Further, during the period during which the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M is executed regardless of the temporary stop, so that the player can visually recognize the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M. It is possible to recognize that the variable display has not been completed yet.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-62 (a) and 10-62 (b), when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started, it is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The hold display corresponding to the variable display moves to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display.

As shown in FIGS. 10-63 (c) to 10-67 (l), in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, the advance notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 10-63 (d) and 10-64 (e)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at least twice during the variable display (FIGS. 10-65 (g) to 10-66 (j)). reference).

As shown in FIGS. 10-65 (g) and 10-66 (j), during the period of temporary stop of the decorative symbol, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are the decorative symbols. (For example, the first temporary stop is blue at brightness C2, the second temporary stop is green at brightness C2), and the revariable display is executed. Based on this, the light emitting mode returns to the light emitting mode according to the background image. Although not shown in the feature unit 135SG, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, and the attacker are used during the third temporary stop period of the decorative symbol. The lamp 9c and the movable lamp 9d emit light in a light emitting mode (for example, red at brightness C2) corresponding to the temporary stop of the decorative pattern for the third time, and emit light according to the background image based on the execution of the revariable display. Return to the aspect.

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 10-66 (j)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the brightness C2 and the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-68 (m) and 10-68 (n), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. After the 135SG005F is once whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white), the reach effect is started. It should be noted that the feature unit 135SG suggests that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

At the whiteout timing, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, in the image display device 5. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S ends.

Further, at the whiteout timing, the blinking of the game effect lamps 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y ends in the brightness C2 and the cycle T0. .. These main lamps 9a, frame lamps 9b, attacker lamps 9c, and movable lamps 9d remain off during the whiteout period, but emit light in a manner corresponding to the reach effect from the timing when the whiteout ends. ..

Further, during the whiteout period, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. That is, during the whiteout period, no sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and there is no sound. From the timing when the whiteout is completed, the above-mentioned winning flash lamp 135SG009F, main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, Along with the start of light emission mode (lighting at brightness C1) according to the reach effect of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d, the output of the reach effect corresponding sound, which is the sound corresponding to the reach effect, is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. .. As the reach effect compatible sound in this feature unit 135SG, a BGM or the like different from the variable display compatible sound is output so that the player can recognize that the reach effect (super reach reach effect) is being executed. Just do it.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 135SG, FIGS. 10-28, 10-29 (A) to 10-32 (H), 10-49 (A) to 10-50 (FIGS. 10-49). As shown in D), the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning emits light before the display of the holding display is completed, so that the player can easily recognize the holding display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. .. Further, it has a winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the first light emitting means in the present invention, and a main lamp 9a, a frame lamp 9b, an attacker lamp 9c, and a movable body lamp 9d as the second light emitting means in the present invention. As shown in 10-28, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F blinks at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize, and at the brightness C2 and the cycle during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. While blinking at T2, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d blink at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize, and at the time of the second prize. Since the flashing flashes at brightness C2 and cycle T0 during the flash effect execution period, not only the winning flash lamp 135SG009F but also the main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, and attacker lamp 9c during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term. Since the movable lamp 9d can also make the flash effect at the time of winning more conspicuous by blinking at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1, it is easier for the game to recognize the hold display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. It has become.

In the feature unit 135SG, when a new start prize is generated during the variable display, whether or not the flash effect is executed at the time of winning and whether or not the hold display notice effect is executed for the hold memory based on the start prize. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a new start prize occurs when the variable display is not executed and the hold memory does not exist, the start prize is given. It may be possible to determine whether or not to execute the flash effect at the time of winning and whether or not to execute the hold display notice effect for the hold memory based on. Specifically, when a new start prize is generated during the variable display, the display pattern α to the display pattern γ (hold display notice) are displayed in the active display area 135SG005A as the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B. After executing the appearance animation of the active display of either the display pattern when the effect is not executed or the display pattern when the hold display notice effect is executed), the active display is displayed as the specific display rotation display effect. In addition to executing the rotation display, the flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of the first prize and the flash effect at the time of the second prize) may be executed based on the start of the variable display based on the start prize.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-15, 10-30 (D) to 10-32 (H), and 10-49 (B) to 10-50 (D), the specific display display start effect is The part where the appearance animation in which the hold display gradually appears from the bottom to the top is displayed, and FIGS. 10-15, 10-30 (D) to 10-32 (H), and 10-49 (B) to 10 As shown in -50 (D), it is composed of being displayed as a hold display or a rotation animation, and as shown in FIGS. 10-19 and 10-20, from the timing when the appearance animation of the hold display is completed. , Since the rotation animation of the hold display is started, the player's attention to the hold display can be increased.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-29 (A) to 10-32 (H), when the specific display display start effect B is executed, the flash effect at the time of winning is performed from the timing before the display start of the hold display. Since the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d emit light at the time of winning, the flash effect at the time of winning can be further emphasized. In addition, in this feature unit 135SG, even when the specific display display start effect A of FIGS. 10-49 (A) to 10-50 (D) is executed, the flash effect at the time of winning is performed from the timing before the display start of the hold display. Since the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d emit light at the time of winning, the flash effect at the time of winning can be further emphasized.

Further, the execution period of the specific display display start effect A is 0.2 seconds, the execution period of the specific display display start effect B is 1.2 seconds, and FIGS. 10-28 and 10-49 (A) to As shown in FIG. 10-50 (D), since the flash effect at the time of winning is started before the end timing of the specific display display start effect A, the display pattern of the hold display is any of the display patterns α to the display pattern γ. Even so, since the flash effect at the time of winning can be started before the specific display display start effect ends, the player can surely recognize the hold display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-28, 10-29 (A), 10-29 (B), 10-49 (A), and 10-49 (B), at the time of winning based on the starting prize. If it is decided to execute the flash effect, the player can start the flash effect at the time of winning by turning off the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d at the time of winning. Can be recognized.

In this feature unit 135SG, when it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning based on the starting prize, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d are turned off. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning based on the starting prize, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the main lamp 9a, and the frame The lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are emitted at a brightness lower than the immediately preceding brightness (for example, if the lamp has been emitting light at the brightness C2 until then, the brightness is C3 lower than the brightness C2). It may be changed. That is, the "low brightness state" in the present invention means a state in which the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are emitting light at low brightness at the time of winning, and also extinguishing. The state of being (not emitting light) is also included.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-29 (A) to 10-48 (n) and 10-49 (A) to 10-68 (n), the advance notice effect is being executed during the variable display. The flash effect at the time of winning can be executed depending on the case and the case where the flash is not being executed. As shown in FIG. 10-29 (B), the speakers 8L and 8R execute the flash effect at the time of winning during the execution of the variable display. When the variable display compatible sound is output at the volume V2, the winning flash effect compatible sound is output at the volume V1 (V1> V2), and when the winning flash effect is executed during the advance notice effect, the winning flash effect is output. The sound corresponding to the advance notice effect is output at the volume V2, while the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V1 (V1> V2). Therefore, even if the variable display compatible sound and the advance notice production compatible sound are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the winning flash production compatible sound can be output so that the player can easily hear the winning flash production. The output of the corresponding sound makes it easier for the player to recognize the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning.

In this feature unit 135SG, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 from the speakers 8L and 8R as a form in which the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output with priority over the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display body. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the flash production compatible sound at the time of winning is output as the preview production compatible sound. As a form of outputting with priority over the sound corresponding to the variable display body, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2, while the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display are lower in volume than the volume V2. (For example, the volume V3) may be output.

Further, the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a mode in which the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output with priority over the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display body, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is not necessary to output the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning in preference to the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display body. Specifically, if the advance notice effect is started during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning (the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning or the sound corresponding to the strange display is being output from the speakers 8L, 8R), the prize is won from the speakers 8L, 8R. The output of the hour flash effect compatible sound may be temporarily stopped and only the variable display compatible sound and the advance notice effect compatible sound, or only one of the advance notice effect compatible sound and the variable display compatible sound may be output. By doing so, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game due to the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display becoming difficult for the player to hear due to the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-28, 10-29 (A) to 10-32 (H), and 10-49 (A) to 10-50 (D), at the time of winning according to the starting prize. When it is decided to execute the flash effect, the flash effect lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking after the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display is completed. Therefore, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R makes it possible for the player to quickly recognize that the start winning is generated and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided. can.

In this feature unit 135SG, an example is exemplified in which the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking after the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display is completed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the appearance animation of the hold display are started after the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. You may do so.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-28, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is blinked at the brightness C1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the first half, and the flash at the time of winning is flashed during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the second half. By blinking the lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C2 (C1> C2), at least the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning can be made to recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning by blinking at the brightness C1. , It is possible to prevent the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning from blinking at the brightness C1 even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, which hinders other effects and reduces the game interest.

In this feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIG. 10-28, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is blinked at the brightness C1 and the cycle T2 as the first-half winning flash effect, and the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is used as the second-half winning flash effect. Is illustrated as a "specific mode in which the degree of emphasis is low" in which the lamp blinks in a luminance C2 having a luminance lower than the luminance C1 and a period T2 having a period longer than the period T1. That is, as the "specific mode with low emphasis" of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the late winning flash effect of the feature unit 135SG, the low-speed blinking mode with low emphasis due to the slow blinking speed (long blinking cycle). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and is used for the winning flash in the late winning flash production. As the "specific mode with a low degree of emphasis" of the lamp 135SG009F, only one of these low-speed blinking modes and the low-luminance mode may be used.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-28, the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning is the period during which the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is executed and the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. Since the execution period of the variable display is included, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning blinks at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 before and after the start of the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. It becomes easier for the player to recognize that the display is variable, and the game interest can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-28, the effect image 135SG005E is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the first half, and the image display device 5 is displayed during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. By displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S, the player can be made to recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning by displaying the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term. During the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize, by displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5, the image display device 5 continues to display the effect image 135SG005E, which becomes an obstacle to other displays and is a game entertainment. Can be suppressed from decreasing.

In particular, in the feature unit 135SG, the effect image 135SG005E is brighter than the silhouette image 135SG005S, as shown in FIGS. 10-30 (D) to 10-31 (F) and 10-34 (L). Since the image is displayed in color and the display area of the image display device 5 is wide, the player can effectively recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning by displaying the effect image 135SG005E.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-28, during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the first half, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 and during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. Then, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8l and 8R at the volume V2 (V1> V2). In this way, by outputting the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V1, it becomes possible for the player to easily recognize that the flash effect at the time of winning has been started. At the same time, during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning in the second half, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2, so that other effects are hindered by the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, which reduces the game interest. It can be suppressed.

In this feature unit 135SG, during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning a prize, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2, so that other effects are hindered by the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning. Although the form of suppressing the deterioration of the game interest is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and other effects are won by not outputting the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the latter prize. It may be possible to prevent the deterioration of the game interest due to being hindered by the sound corresponding to the flash effect.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-29 (A) to 10-48 (n), during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning a prize, before the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started. During the variable display symbol confirmation period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning continues to blink, that is, whether or not the effect control CPU 120 has received the symbol confirmation command (the confirmation command reception flag is set), or is variable. Regardless of whether the display time timer has timered out or not, the player is controlled to the jackpot game state by continuously blinking the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning even during the symbol confirmation period. It is possible to accurately maintain the expectation of the game until the start of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, and the game entertainment can be improved.

In this feature unit 135SG, as the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are arranged according to the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (brightness). After the flash effect at the time of the first prize is completed, the lamp 135SG009F for the flash at the time of winning is used as the flash effect at the time of the second prize in the mode (brightness C2 and the cycle T2) according to the flash effect at the time of the second prize. ), While the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are made to emit light in an mode (brightness C2 and period T0) according to the background image. Is not limited to this, and the effect control CPU 120 clears the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the first prize at the timing when the flash effect at the time of the first prize is finished, so that the flash effect at the time of the second prize is executed during the execution period. It may be possible to prevent the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d at the time of winning from emitting light in a manner corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-3, a small symbol 135SG005M is arranged at the left end of the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5, and as shown in FIGS. 10-33 (J) and the like, the symbol is confirmed. During the period, the small symbol 135SG005M is displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped. Therefore, even if the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning continues to emit light during the symbol confirmation period, the small symbol 135SG005M is derived in combination indicating that it is out of alignment. Since it is displayed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the symbol is being determined.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-33 (J) and the like, the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the right side of the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5 while the flash effect at the time of winning is being executed, while it is small. Since the symbol 135SG005M is displayed at the left end of the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5, the silhouette image 135SG005S is duplicated on the small symbol 135SG005M, which makes it difficult for the player to recognize the end of the variable display. It is possible to prevent it from being stored.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, the image display device 5 can execute a pseudo continuous effect including a temporary stop and a revariable display of the decorative symbol during the variable display, and the variable display during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning. In the case where the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, the silhouette as a flash effect at the time of winning a special symbol (see Fig. 10-40, etc.) that stops in the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C when the decorative symbol temporarily stops. Since the image 135SG005S can be displayed in duplicate, the silhouette image 135SG005S hides the special symbol, which can give the player unexpectedness and improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-28 and 10-42 (a) to 10-47 (l), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5 even in the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the variable display is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, and the interest of the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-28, during the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is blinked at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 before the start of the reach effect to produce the reach effect. At the start timing, while the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off, as shown in FIG. 10-22, it is determined that the effect control CPU 120 is the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the effect target due to the generation of static electricity or the like. If it cannot be done, the flash effect at the time of the second prize including the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is again at the end timing of the variable display (the reception timing of the symbol confirmation command) which is the timing after the start timing of the reach effect. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the sense of incongruity when the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect does not end at the start timing of the reach effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-22, when it cannot be determined that the effect control CPU 120 is the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the effect target due to the generation of static electricity or the like, the effect control CPU 120 determines the symbol. Since the flash effect at the time of winning the second prize is terminated based on the reception of the command, it is possible to further reduce the discomfort when ending the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-21, if a start winning prize is generated at the first starting port during the execution of the reach effect of the super reach, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is not decided, so that the reach effect of the super reach is produced. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the game interest due to a decrease in attention to.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-17, in the feature unit 135SG, the hold display and the active display can be displayed by any of the display patterns α to the display patterns γ having different jackpot expectations, and FIG. 10-28 shows. As shown, when it is decided that the start port lamp 135SG009S displays the hold display or the active display in the display pattern β or the display pattern γ, the flashing lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning or the game effect as a flash effect at the time of winning. Regardless of the light emitting mode of the lamp 9 or the like, since the light is emitted in the color corresponding to the display pattern β and the display pattern γ from the occurrence of the start winning to the end of the variable display based on the starting winning, the player can perform the hold display or the active display. Since the display mode of the above can be recognized by the light emitting mode (light emitting color) of the start port lamp 135SG009S, the game entertainment can be improved.

Although the feature portions of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these feature portions, and any changes or additions within the scope of the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. Is done.

For example, the late winning flash effect in the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a mode in which the flash effect is executed regardless of whether or not the symbol is fixed during the symbol determination period (the variable display is stopped), but the present invention is limited to this. As shown in FIGS. 10-69 to 10-89 as a modified example 135SG-1, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of late winning, the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the silhouette. The display of the image 135SG005S and the like may not be executed during the symbol determination period.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-69 and 10-70 (A), while the variable display is being executed, the image display device 5 executes the variable display of the decorative symbol, and the speakers 8L and 8R The variable display compatible sound is output at the volume V2. Further, during the execution of the variable display, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is lit, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks at the cycle T0 corresponding to the variable display (FIGS. 10-27 (A) to 10-27). (Blinking in the mode shown in (D)) is controlled.

Further, during the execution of the variable display, an image corresponding to the effect pattern of the advance notice effect is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the advance notice effect, and the notice effect is displayed from the speakers 8L and 8R. A sound corresponding to the effect pattern (sound corresponding to the advance notice effect) is output at the volume V2. Further, as the hold storage, there are three first special figure hold memories (three hold displays are displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D).

When a prize (starting prize) to the first starting port occurs during such a variable display, and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning, the figure is shown in the figure. As shown in 10-69 and FIG. 10-70 (B), the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is started.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIGS. 10-69 and 10-70 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 (V1> V2) from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off. Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-69, 10-71 (C), and 10-71 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5. At the same time, the blinking control of the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the stick lamp 135SG00X, and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the time of winning is started. In the blinking control, each lamp is lit at a brightness C1 which is higher than the brightness C2.

Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, as shown in FIGS. 10-71 (D), 10-72 (E), and 10-72 (F), the specific display display start effect B described above is used. An animation in which the character A appears from the winning flash lamp 135SG009F whose blinking is controlled is displayed, and an animation in which the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed. Then, after the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the position where the hold display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D (in the case of the present modification 135SG-1, the fourth position). An animation that attacks (acts) against (the position where the hold display of is displayed) is displayed.

After the character A acts on the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the hold display, which is the target of the running flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term), gradually appears from the bottom to the top at the affected position. The appearance animation is displayed (see FIGS. 10-20 (D-1) to 10-20 (D-5)). The hold display for which the appearance animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D has been completed shifts to the rotation display as the other hold display as the specific display rotation display effect.

That is, in the present modification 135SG-1, when a start winning is generated during the variable display and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided based on the starting winning, the display of the hold display based on the starting winning is completed. First, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 are started. The appearance animation of the hold display (specific display) accompanied by the execution of the specific display display start effect B in the present modification 135SG-1 is completed during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning (FIGS. 10-73 (G) and FIG. (See FIG. 10-73 (H)).

When the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is completed, the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is started from the end timing. As shown in FIGS. 10-69, 10-73 (G) and 10-73 (H), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V2 from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F has a brightness C2 and blinks in a cycle T2 (cycle T2> cycle T1). Blinking (blinking in the manner shown in FIGS. 10-27 (A) to 10-27 (D)), silhouette image of character A around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5 at regular intervals of 135SG005S. Is started to be displayed.

The blinking of the game effect lamp 9 excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y in the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 is a color corresponding to the background image of the image display device 5 (for example, if the background image is a daytime image). Gradation with bluish colors, if the background image is an evening image, gradation with reddish colors, etc.) is executed.

The cycle T2, which is the blinking cycle of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, is a cycle longer than the above-mentioned cycle T1 but shorter than the above-mentioned cycle T0 (length of lamp blinking cycle: T0> T2). > T1). It should be noted that the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y are not turned on during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-74 (I) and 10-74 (J), when the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5, the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is excluded. 1 The silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B having transparency over the entire display area 135SG005F is overlapped and displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 10-74 (J), 10-75 (K), and 10-75 (L), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-69, 10-76 (M) and 10-76 (N), the latter period is during the symbol determination period from the end timing of the variable display to the start timing of the next variable display. The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R as the flash effect at the time of winning and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are stopped, and the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable Only blinking in a mode corresponding to the background image displayed on the image display device 5 of the body lamp 9d is continuously executed.

When the symbol confirmation period ends, a new variable display is started. At this time, in the image display device 5, the hold display first displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is moved to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display and is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The display position of the remaining hold display is shifted to the right by one. Further, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 is also started.

Hereinafter, as shown in FIGS. 10-75 (K) to 10-82 (Z), in the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning. While the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are repeatedly executed. During the symbol confirmation period, the speaker 8L and 8R as the flash effect at the time of winning the prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the blinking of the cycle T2, the image display. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the device 5 is not executed.

As shown in FIGS. 10-79 (S) to 10-81 (X), in the variable display in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped during the period (FIG. 10-81 (FIG. 10-81). See W). In this modified example 135SG-1, the decorative symbols showing normal numbers are temporarily stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the special symbol that notifies the temporary stop to the decorative symbol display area 5C inside is temporarily stopped. Is temporarily stopped), as the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L, 8R at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the blinking of the cycle T2, and the image display. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the device 5 is executed.

In addition, in FIG. 10-81 (W), during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning, the prize is won when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. The blinking of the hour flash lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 is not executed, but depending on the timing of the temporary stop, the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F even during the temporary stop of the decorative symbol. Blinking at is to be executed. That is, in the present modification 135SG-1, the flash effect at the time of winning is continuously executed during the temporary stop period of the decorative symbol for the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-82 (Y) and 10-82 (Z), when the variable display that is out of the normal reach is completed in response to the execution of the pseudo continuous effect, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the feature unit 135SG is also executed during the symbol determination period of the variable display that is out of the normal reach. That is, as shown in FIGS. 10-82 (Y) and 10-82 (Z), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is overlapped and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period. At the same time, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2.

As shown in FIGS. 10-81 (W) and 10-81 (X), during the period during which the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M is executed regardless of the temporary stop. Therefore, the player can recognize that the variable display has not been completed by visually recognizing the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-83 (a) and 10-83 (b), when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started, it is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The hold display corresponding to the variable display moves to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display.

As shown in FIGS. 10-84 (c) to 10-88 (l), in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, the advance notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 10-84 (d) and 10-85 (e)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, at least two pseudo-continuous effects are executed during the variable display (FIGS. 10-86 (g) to 10-87 (j)). reference).

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 10-87 (j)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the blinking of the brightness C2 and the period T2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-89 (m) and 10-89 (n), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. After the 135SG005F is once whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white), the reach effect is started. In the present modification 135SG-1, it is suggested that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

At the whiteout timing, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, in the image display device 5. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S ends. On the other hand, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2, and the blinking of the game effect lamp 9 except for the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the brightness C2 and the cycle T0 are continuously executed.

As shown in FIGS. 10-69, when a start prize is generated during the execution of the variable display and the execution of the hold display notice effect is decided based on the start prize, the start port lamp light emission effect is performed. From the start winning timing, the start port lamp 135SG009S has a color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect (for example, blue when the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern β, and the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern γ. In the case of red), the light emission is started.

The light emission of the start port lamp 135SG009S is an effect that is executed completely independently of the above-mentioned flash effect at the time of winning, and regardless of the blinking mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning or the game effect lamp 9, the above-mentioned start From the time of winning until the end of the variable display of the target of the start port lamp light emission effect (variable display of the target of the flash effect at the time of winning), the light emission in the color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect is continued.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-1, when the flash effect at the time of winning is started based on the start winning, the lighting of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is stopped as the flash effect at the time of the late winning during the symbol confirmation period. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the variable display is being executed by continuously lighting the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as a flash effect at the time of the late winning during the symbol confirmation period. ing. Furthermore, during the temporary stop period of the decorative symbol during the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, and during the temporary stop period of the decorative symbol of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the lamp for the flash at the time of winning 135SG009F By continuing to blink the brightness C2 and the period T2, it is possible to prevent the game from misidentifying that the variable display has ended even though the decorative symbol is in the temporary stop period.

In the modified example 135SG-1, during the symbol confirmation period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the latter prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, the lighting of the flash effect at the time of the prize 135SG009F, and the silhouette of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. Although the embodiment in which the display of the image 135SG005S is stopped is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the player is executing the variable display during the symbol determination period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the late winning. If it is possible to prevent misunderstanding that it is, one of the output of the flash effect compatible sound at the time of winning, the lighting of the flash effect at the time of the late winning of the prize 135SG009F, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S. Alternatively, only two may be executed.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-1, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize, the light emission of the lamp 135SG009F at the time of the prize, and the silhouette during the symbol confirmation period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. Although the embodiment in which the display of the image 135SG005S is not executed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the flash at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the symbol determination period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the latter prize. As a mode in which the output of the effect-corresponding sound, the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S, etc. are not executed, for example, the effect control CPU 120 receives the symbol confirmation command during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning. By clearing the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the second prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the prize as the flash effect at the time of the second prize, and the light emission of the lamp 135SG009F at the time of the prize, by clearing the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the second prize. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S may not be executed.

In this case, the effect control CP 120 re-selects the late winning flash effect process table and resets and starts the late winning flash effect process timer based on the reception of the first variable display start command. By doing so, the flash effect at the time of winning a prize (output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, display of the silhouette image 135SG005S) may be started according to the start of a new variable display.

Further, as a form in which the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize is not emitted during the symbol determination period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize, for example, the effect control CPU 120 is the flash at the time of the second prize. Based on the fact that the symbol confirmation command was received during the execution of the effect, the lamp control board 14 is not the lighting control data corresponding to the process data of the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the late winning, but the lamp 135SG009F for the flash at the time of winning. The lighting control data for maintaining the extinguishing (for example, "0: 0: 0" indicating extinguishing as the RGB value of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning) may be continuously output until the variable display start command is received. ..

In addition, if the flash effect at the time of the second prize is not executed during the symbol confirmation period in this way, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, the lighting of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the silhouette image are performed again from the start timing of the new variable display. The display of the 135SG005S may be re-executed from the beginning of each cycle (see FIG. 10-69), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning and the lighting of the lamp for the flash at the time of winning 135SG009F from the start timing of the new variable display. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S may be restarted from the middle of each cycle.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-1, when the variable display ends during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the speakers 8L and 8R as the flash effect at the time of the late winning are used during the symbol determination period of the variable display. While stopping the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect and the display of the silhouette image 235SG005S at the time of winning, according to the background image displayed on the image display device 5 of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d. Although the blinking in the above mode is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are used during the symbol determination period. The blinking may also stop. In particular, as a form in which the blinking of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d is stopped during the symbol confirmation period, the in lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9c are movable. The body lamp 9d may be turned off, or the in lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d may be turned off in a certain color (for example, the background displayed on the image display device 5) during the symbol determination period. It may be maintained in a state of being continuously lit with a color (color corresponding to the image).

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as an explanation of FIG. 10-8, it is described that a plurality of reach effects may be provided as the reach effect of the super reach. In this way, a plurality of reach effects are provided as the reach effect of the super reach. When the above is provided, the jackpot expectation is different among the reach effects of a plurality of super reach (for example, as the reach effect of super reach, the reach effect of super reach α and the expectation of big hit than the reach effect of the super reach α are provided. A high reach effect of super reach β may be provided).

In particular, when it is possible to execute the reach effect of a plurality of super reach having different jackpot expectations as described above, as shown in FIGS. 10-90 (A) and 10-90 (B) as a modified example 135SG-2. , The movable body 32 can be moved between the retracted position (for example, the upper position of the image display device 5) and the effect position (for example, the center front position in the front view of the image display device 5), and the flash effect at the time of winning. When the variable display that is the target of the variable display is the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α (the variable display that executes the reach effect of the super reach α), the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 during the variable display is displayed. By repeatedly moving the movable body 32 between the retracted position and the retracted position (for example, the intermediate position between the retracted position and the effect position described above) during the period in which the first display area 135SG005F to be excluded is once whitened out, the movable body 32 is 32. The movable body movement suggestion effect that suggests moving to the effect position of is executed, and the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is a variable display with the fluctuation pattern of super reach β (the reach effect of super reach β is executed). In the case of variable display), the movable body 32 is further retracted after the above-described movable body movement suggestion effect is executed during the period in which the first display area 135SG005F excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is once whitened out. The movable body motion effect of moving from the position to the effect position may be executed.

By doing so, during the whiteout period, the player can pay attention to the movement of the movable body 32, and when the movable body 32 moves to the effect position (when the movable body motion effect is executed). Can notify the player that the reach effect of the super reach β, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than the reach effect of the super reach α, is executed by the movable body motion effect, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

For example, when the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α, the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is as shown in FIGS. 10-91 (A) and 10-91 (B). When the variable display is started, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is started. Further, in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, a notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 10-91 (B), 10-92 (C), and 10-92 (D)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at least twice during the variable display (FIGS. 10-93 (E) to 10-94 (H)). reference).

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 10-94 (H)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the brightness C2 and the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-95 (I) to 10-96 (L), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. The 135SG005F is temporarily whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white). In the present modification 135SG-2, it is suggested that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

As shown in FIGS. 10-90 (A) and 10-96 (K) to 10-97 (N), during the whiteout period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect. Lighting at the brightness C2 and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are completed. Then, as a movable body motion suggestion effect, the movable body 32 repeatedly reciprocates between the retracted position and the suggested position a predetermined number of times (4 reciprocations in the present modification 135SG-2) by a drive mechanism (not shown). Will end and the whiteout period will also end. During the execution period of the movable body motion suggestion effect, the output of the movable body motion suggestion effect sound is executed at the volume V2 instead of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R. As the sound corresponding to the motion suggestion effect of the movable body, a sound effect that allows the player to recognize that the movable body 32 is repeatedly moving between the retracted position and the suggested position (for example, a sound effect such as "rattling"). ) Etc. should be output.

As shown in FIGS. 10-90 (A), 10-98 (O), and 10-98 (P), the image display device 5 superimposes from the timing when the movable body motion suggestion effect and the whiteout are completed. Along with the start of the reach effect of the reach α, the lighting of the brightness C1 of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in a mode corresponding to the reach effect starts. Then, the speakers 8L and 8R start to output the reach effect compatible sound (BGM or the like different from the variable display compatible sound) corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach α.

When the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β, the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is as shown in FIGS. 10-99 (A) and 10-99 (B). When the variable display is started, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is started. Further, in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, a notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 10-99 (B), 10-100 (C), and 10-100 (D)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at least twice during the variable display (FIGS. 10-101 (E) to 10-102 (H)). reference).

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 10-102 (H)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the blinking of the brightness C2 and the period T2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-103 (I) to 10-104 (L), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. The 135SG005F is temporarily whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white). In the present modification 135SG-2, it is suggested that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

As shown in FIGS. 10-90 (B) and 10-104 (K) to 10-105 (N), during the whiteout period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect. Lighting at the brightness C2 and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are completed. Then, as a movable body movement suggestion effect, the movable body movement suggestion based on the fact that the movable body 32 repeatedly reciprocates between the retracted position and the suggested position a predetermined number of times (4 reciprocations in the present modification 135SG-2) by a drive mechanism (not shown). The production ends. During the execution period of the movable body motion suggestion effect, the output of the movable body motion suggestion effect sound is executed at the volume V2 instead of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R. As the sound corresponding to the motion suggestion effect of the movable body, a sound effect that allows the player to recognize that the movable body 32 is repeatedly moving between the retracted position and the suggested position (for example, a sound effect such as "rattling"). ) Etc. should be output.

After the end of the movable body motion suggestion effect, as shown in FIGS. 10-90 (B) and 10-106 (O) to 10-106 (P), the whiteout period ends, and the movable body motion effect is produced. The movable body 32 moves from the retracted position to the effect position by a drive mechanism (not shown). During the period of the movable body operation effect, the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d at the time of winning are set to the brightness C1 in the manner corresponding to the movable body operation effect. Light. Further, although not shown in FIGS. 10-90 (B), the speakers 8L and 8R output the sound corresponding to the motion effect of the movable body at the volume V1 (see FIG. 10-106 (P)). As the sound corresponding to the movement effect of the movable body in the feature unit 135SG, a sound effect (for example, a sound effect such as "Zudorn") in which the player can recognize that the movable body has moved may be output.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10-107 (Q), the movable body motion effect is completed based on the movable body 32 returning from the effect position to the retracted position. As shown in FIGS. 10-90 (B), 10-107 (Q), and 10-107 (R), the image display device 5 has a super reach from the timing when the movable body motion effect and the whiteout are completed. Along with the start of the reach effect of β, the lighting of the brightness C1 of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in a mode corresponding to the reach effect is started. , The output of the reach effect corresponding sound corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach β is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. As the reach production compatible sound corresponding to the reach production of the super reach β, the variable display compatible sound and the reach of the super reach α so that the player can recognize that the reach production of the super reach β is being executed. It suffices to output BGM or the like different from the reach production compatible sound corresponding to the production.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-2, in the variable display of the super reach that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is set to the brightness C2 and the period T2 before the start of the reach effect of the super reach. Flashes, and from the start timing of the reach effect of Super Reach, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned on at the brightness C2. Since the light is emitted (lights up at the brightness C2) in a mode corresponding to the reach effect instead of the blinking of the cycle T2, the game enjoyment of the reach effect can be improved.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 10-96 (K) to 10-98 (O) and 10-104 (K) to 10-106 (O), the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white (whiteout). At the same time, during the whiteout period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned on at the brightness C2 from the subsequent start timing of the reach production of the super reach, so that the flash at the time of winning is used. Since it is possible to prevent the player from giving a sense of discomfort due to a change in the light emitting mode of the lamp 135SG009F, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

Further, when the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β, the movable body motion suggestion effect is executed during the whiteout period, and the movable body motion suggestion effect is executed. The flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off according to the execution of, and then the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is used for the movable body operation effect according to the execution of the movable body movement effect (movement of the movable body 32 to the effect position). It lights up at brightness C1 in a corresponding manner. That is, since the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned on at the brightness C1 with the extinguishing caused by the execution of the movable body motion suggestion effect, the player may feel uncomfortable due to the change in the light emitting mode. Since it can be prevented, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which a dialogue notice effect can be executed as a notice effect suggesting that the variable display result becomes a big hit during the variable display is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a modification 135SG-3, as the advance notice effect, the image displayed on the image display device 5 changes stepwise in addition to the dialogue advance notice effect, and a big hit is expected according to the final number of change stages. It may be possible to execute a step-up effect having different degrees, a group notice effect in which a plurality of character groups cross the image display device 5, and the like.

In particular, when the step-up effect can be executed as the modified example 135SG-3, as shown in FIGS. 10-108 (A) and 10-109 (A) to 10-113 (L), at the time of winning a prize. When the step-up effect is executed during the variable display in which the flash effect is not executed, the flash is used at the time of winning at the timing of displaying the image (step-up image) on the image display device 5 or the timing of changing the image stepwise. The effect of the step-up effect may be enhanced by temporarily lighting the lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C2. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10-108 (B) and 10-114 (A) to 10-118 (F), the step-up effect is executed during the variable display in which the flash effect at the time of winning is executed. At the time, since the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning has already been blinked at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2, the timing of displaying the image (step-up image) on the image display device 5 and the image are changed stepwise. The winning flash lamp 135SG009F is not turned on at the timing, that is, while the winning flash effect is being executed, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F that is already emitting light in a manner corresponding to the winning flash effect is adapted to the step-up effect. The light may not be emitted depending on the embodiment.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-3, when the step-up effect is started in the variable display during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning, that is, the lamp 135SG009F for the flash at the time of winning has the brightness C2 as the flash effect at the time of winning. In addition, if the step-up effect of turning on the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is further started while blinking in the cycle T2, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of winning is preferentially executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lighting of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in a mode corresponding to the step-up effect from an inappropriate timing such as the end timing of the winning flash effect.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which the movable body 32 is not operated before the start of the reach effect of the super reach is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and before the start of the reach effect of the super reach. Is capable of executing a movable body motion effect of moving the movable body 32 from a retracted position (for example, an upper position of the image display device 5) to an effect position (for example, a central front position in the front view of the image display device 5). As a result, the player may be notified that the reach effect of the super reach is executed.

In this way, when the movable body motion effect can be executed before the reach effect of the super reach, as shown in FIGS. 10-119 (A) and 10-119 (B) as the modified example 135SG-4, When the flash effect at the time of winning is executed for the variable display of the super reach, the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed from the mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emitting mode according to the motion effect of the movable body. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on which of the light emitting modes is changed according to the reach effect of the super reach.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10-119 (C), when the variable display result of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is a big hit, the movable body has a ratio of 70% at the start of the variable display. From the operation production start timing, it was decided to change the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the mode corresponding to the winning flash effect to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect, and the reach effect was started at a rate of 30%. From the timing, it is decided to change the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the mode corresponding to the winning flash effect to the light emitting mode according to the reach effect. If the variable display result of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is out of alignment, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is started from the movable body operation effect start timing at a rate of 30% at the start of the variable display. It was decided to change the light emitting mode from the mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emitting mode according to the motion effect of the movable body, and from the reach production start timing at a rate of 70%, the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning. Is decided to be changed from the mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emission mode according to the reach effect.

If it is decided to change the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the mode corresponding to the winning flash effect to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect or the light emitting mode according to the reach effect, the determination is made. The process data corresponding to the above may be selected, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning may be controlled according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer according to the progress of the variable display.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-4, the case where the movable body motion effect is being executed and the case where the movable body motion effect is being executed according to the timing of ending the light emitting mode according to the prize flash effect of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F and the super Since there are cases where the reach effect of the reach is being executed, the game determines whether the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning is during the execution period of the moving body motion effect or during the execution period of the reach effect of the super reach. It can be easily recognized by people. In particular, as shown in FIG. 10-119 (C), the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is changed from the light emitting mode according to the winning flash effect to the start timing of the movable body operation effect according to the movable body operation effect. Since the jackpot expectation differs between the case where the light emitting mode is set and the case where the light emitting mode is set according to the reach effect from the start timing of the reach effect, it is possible to draw attention to the player at the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

In this modified example 135SG-4, the timing at which the flashing lamp 135SG009F for winning as a flash effect at the time of winning ends blinking (changes to a light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect or a light emitting mode according to the reach effect). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko game is not limited to this. It may be possible to suggest the set value set in the machine 1. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-4, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning emits light at either the start of the movable body movement effect during the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, or the start of the reach effect of the super reach. The mode can be changed, and the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is changed from the light emitting mode according to the winning flash effect to the light emitting mode according to the movable body operation effect from the start timing of the movable body operation effect. Since the jackpot expectation differs depending on the start timing of the reach effect and the case where the light emission mode is set according to the reach effect, the player pays attention to the effect executed at the timing when the light emission mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning changes. It can be made to improve the game entertainment.

In the modified example 135SG-4, in the variable display of the super reach, a mode in which the movable body motion effect can be executed before the start of the reach effect of the super reach is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, before the execution of the movable body motion effect, the movable body motion suggestion effect suggesting that the movable body motion effect is executed may be executed. In this way, when the movable body motion suggestion effect can be executed before the movable body motion effect is executed, the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is suggested from the light emitting mode according to the winning flash effect. A case is provided in which the light emitting mode is changed from the start timing of the effect to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion suggestion effect, and the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is changed from the light emitting mode according to the winning flash effect to the movable body operation suggestion effect. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on whether the light emitting mode is set according to the movable body motion suggestion effect from the start timing or the light emitting mode is set according to the reach effect from the start timing of the reach effect. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the effect being executed when the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed, so that the game interest can be improved.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-4, the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is changed from the light emitting mode according to the winning flash effect to the light emission corresponding to the movable body movement suggestion effect from the start timing of the movable body operation suggestion effect. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and a prize is won. There are cases where the light emission (blinking) of the hour flash lamp 135SG009F ends at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect and the case where the light emission ends at the start timing of the reach effect. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on whether it ends with. In this way, even when a plurality of timings for stopping the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect during the variable display of 1 are provided, the effect control CPU 120 flashes at the time of winning due to the generation of static electricity or the like. If the blinking of the lamp 135SG009F cannot be stopped, the late winning including the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning again at the end timing of the variable display (reception timing of the symbol confirmation command), which is the timing after these timings. The time flash effect should be finished.

By doing so, even if the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect cannot be ended at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect or the start timing of the reach effect, the flash effect at the time of winning can be produced. At the end timing of the variable display of the target, it is possible to end the late winning flash effect including the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as display patterns of specific display (hold display and active display), a display pattern α which is a white circle having the lowest expectation of big hit and a blue color which has a higher expectation of big hit than the display pattern α. The display pattern β which is a round shape of the above and the display pattern γ which is a red circle whose jackpot expectation is higher than that of the display pattern β are provided. As the display pattern, a display pattern other than these display patterns α to the display pattern γ may be provided.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10-120 as a modified example 135SG-5, as the display pattern of the specific display, in addition to the above-mentioned display patterns α to display pattern γ, either a hold display or a display as an active display is being displayed. Display pattern β or display pattern γ may change at the timing of (Expected change to display pattern β or display pattern γ: low) Display pattern δ, which is a white blinking circle, as a hold display or active display The possibility of changing to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ at any timing during the display of is higher than that of the display pattern δ (expected change to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ: high). Display pattern ε may be provided.

That is, as the display patterns of the hold display and the active display in the modified example 135SG-5, the display pattern γ (red display) has the highest expectation of a big hit for the display patterns α to γ, and the display pattern α (white display). ) Is set with the lowest expectation of big hits. On the other hand, regarding the display pattern δ and the jackpot expectation of the display pattern ε when the display pattern β and the display pattern γ do not change, the jackpot expectation may be set lower than that of the display pattern α, or may be set lower than that of the display pattern α. The jackpot expectation may be set higher and the jackpot expectation may be set lower than the display pattern β.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-5, as the hold display and the active display display pattern, a display pattern δ and a display pattern ε that may change to the display pattern β and the display pattern γ are provided. The display pattern α is not limited, and a case may be provided in which the display pattern α changes to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ at a rate lower than that of the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε. Further, the hold display and the active display of the display pattern β may be changed to the display pattern γ.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, whether or not the hold display notice effect (the effect of displaying the hold display or the active display in the display pattern β or the display pattern β) is executed and the display pattern are determined to execute the flash effect at the time of winning. Although the form of determination is illustrated regardless of this, the present invention is not limited to this, and is related to the presence / absence of execution of these hold display notice effects, the determination of the display pattern, and the determination of execution of the flash effect at the time of winning. You may decide.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10-120 as the above-mentioned modified example 135SG-5, when it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning based on the starting winning, as the display mode of the hold display or the active display based on the starting winning. , Display pattern ε is determined at the highest rate, display pattern δ is determined at a rate lower than display pattern ε, display pattern γ is determined at a rate lower than display pattern δ, and display pattern β is determined at a rate lower than display pattern γ. Is also determined at a low rate, and the display pattern α may be determined at the lowest rate (display pattern determination rate at the time of winning flash effect execution decision: display pattern ε> display pattern δ> display pattern γ> display pattern β>. Display pattern α).

As described above, display patterns α to display patterns ε are provided as display modes of the specific display (hold display and active display), and when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the specific display is displayed. Since the rate at which the flash effect at the time of winning is executed is higher than that when the pattern β or the display pattern γ is displayed, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the specific display by executing the flash effect at the time of winning, and the specific display. Since the player can pay attention to whether the display changes from the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ, the game interest can be improved.

Furthermore, the display pattern α is a display pattern that displays the specific display in a white circle, the display pattern β is a display pattern that displays the specific display in a blue circle, and the display pattern γ is a display pattern that displays the specific display in a red circle. Since the display pattern and the display pattern δ are display patterns that display the specific display in a circle that blinks in white, the player can easily identify the difference in the specific display by the display color and the blinking mode.

In the present modification 135SG-5, when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the display pattern of the specific display is the display pattern β or the display depending on whether or not the flash effect is executed at the time of winning. Although the rate of change to the pattern γ is not described, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the flash effect at the time of winning is displayed in both cases. The rate at which the display pattern of the specific display changes to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ may differ depending on whether or not it is executed. By doing so, when the specific display is displayed in the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the player can pay attention to whether or not the flash effect at the time of winning is executed, so that the game interest is improved. can.

In the modified example 135SG-5, a display pattern δ that blinks in white is illustrated as a special mode of the specific display in the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific display in the present invention is used. The special mode (display pattern δ) may be a color other than the normal mode and the special mode of the specific display in the present invention, such as white, blue, and red (for example, purple, black, etc.).

Further, in the modified example 135SG-5, a mode suggesting that the specific display is changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ by displaying the specific display in the display pattern δ has been illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to execute an action effect that can change the specific display into the display pattern β or the display pattern γ by acting on the specific display displayed by the display pattern δ. ..

In particular, in the case of an action effect, as an effect mode of the action effect, a plurality of effect modes in which the ratio of changing the specific display displayed in the display pattern δ to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ is different ( For example, the first action effect in which the specific display can be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ by acting on the specific display displayed in the display pattern δ, and the action in which the effect mode is different from the first action effect. It is an effect, and by acting on the specific display displayed in the display pattern δ, the specific display can be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ at a higher rate than the first effect effect). , When the second action effect is executed, the flash effect at the time of winning may be executed at a higher rate than when the first action effect is executed.

By doing so, the player can pay attention to whether the action effect is executed by the first action effect or the second action effect, and the action effect is second by executing the flash effect at the time of winning. It is possible to raise the expectation that it will be executed in the action production.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-5, when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern ε, the ratio at which the flash effect at the time of winning is executed is higher than the case where the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ. When the specific display is displayed in the display pattern ε and the flash effect is executed at the time of winning, the player is asked to change the display pattern of the specific display to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ. Since it can be noticed, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the modified example 135SG-5, a display pattern ε for displaying a character is provided as a display pattern for the specific display (hold display and active display), and an action effect is executed on the character as the specific display. The present invention exemplifies a form in which the display pattern of the specific display can be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as the modified example 135SG-6, the character as the specific display is used. It may act on another character, and as a result of the action, the display pattern of the specific display may be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-121 (A) and 10-121 (B), when the number of reserved first special figures is 3 and the variable display is in progress, a prize is awarded to the first starting port. When (starting prize) occurs and the display pattern of the hold display based on the start winning is determined as the display pattern ε as the hold display notice effect based on the start winning, the fourth piece of the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is determined. The ally character is displayed as the hold display, and the active display displayed in the active display area 135SG005A changes to the enemy character (see FIG. 10-121 (B-1)).

In this state, the variable display ends and a new variable display is started, that is, as shown in FIGS. 10-122 (A) and 10-122 (B), the variable display is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 135SG005D. When the existing ally character (hold display of display pattern ε) moves from the display position of the fourth hold display to the display position of the third hold display, the ally character is displayed in the active display area 135SG005A. Acts on (shoots).

Then, every time the variable display ends again and a new variable display is started, that is, as shown in FIGS. 10-122 (C) and 10-122 (D), the display is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 135SG005D. When the ally character is moving from the display position of the third hold display to the display position of the second hold display, and when the ally character displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is the second hold. When moving from the display position of the display to the display position of the first hold display, the ally character acts (shoots) on the enemy character displayed in the active display area 135SG005A.

Furthermore, when the variable display ends and the variable display, which is the target of the hold display notice effect, is started, the ally character displayed at the display position of the first hold display in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is actively displayed. It moves to the area 135SG005A, and the ally character acts directly on the enemy character in the active display area 135SG005A (a battle effect between the ally character and the enemy character is executed).

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-123 (G) and 10-123 (H), when the ally character wins as a result of the effect of the battle effect, the ally character displays the display pattern β or in the active display area 135SG005A. The display pattern changes to the active display of γ. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10-123 (I) and 10-123 (J), when the ally character is defeated as a result of the battle effect, the enemy character or the ally character is displayed in the active display area 135SG005A. It changes to the active display of α.

In the present modification 135SG-6, when the hold display is displayed in the display pattern ε, the ally character as the hold display of the display pattern ε defeats the enemy character in the active display area 135SG005A to display the active display. Although the form in which the ally character that has become can be changed to the active display of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the hold display is displayed by the display pattern ε, the present invention is not limited to this. By defeating the enemy character while the hold display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the ally character as the hold display may be changed to the hold display of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ.

Further, when the hold display is displayed in the display pattern ε, the hold display of the display pattern ε is higher in the case where the flash effect at the time of winning is executed than in the case where the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed in both cases. May be changeable to the hold display (or active display) of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ. By doing so, not only can the player pay attention to the battle result between the ally character and the enemy character as the hold display of the display pattern ε, but also the flash effect at the time of winning is executed during the execution of the battle. Since it is possible to draw the player's attention as to whether or not it is present, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the modified example 135SG-5 and the modified example 135SG-6, as display patterns for the hold display and the active display, the display pattern α to the display pattern γ described in the feature unit 135SG have a display pattern δ and a display pattern ε. However, when the hold display or active display is displayed by these display patterns δ or display pattern ε, it is the same as when the hold display or active display is displayed by display patterns α to γ. The specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B may be executed.

More specifically, when the hold display or the active display is displayed by the display pattern δ, the specific display display start effect A (see FIG. 10-19) is executed as in the case of the display pattern α, and the hold display or the active display is displayed. When displaying with the display pattern ε, the specific display display start effect B (see FIG. 10-20) or the period during which the display of the hold display or the active display is completed is specified as in the case of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ. The specific display display start effect that is longer than the display start effect A and shorter than the specific display display start effect B may be executed. By doing so, when the hold display or the active display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the hold display or the active display is displayed from the timing before the display of the hold display or the active display is completed, as in the case of the feature unit 135SG. , The flash effect sound at the time of winning and the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning will be recognized by the player.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as a flash effect at the time of winning, a mode in which the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, as the modified example 135SG-7, the display mode of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5 may be changed stepwise according to the progress of the flash effect at the time of winning.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 10-124 (A) and 10-124 (B), a prize is awarded to the first start port during variable display in a state where three first special figure hold memories exist. When a start-up prize) occurs and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start-up prize, the flash at the time of winning the previous term is as shown in FIG. 10-124 (B). The production starts.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIG. 10-124 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 (V1> V2). , The flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off at the time of winning. Then, as shown in FIGS. 10-125 (C) and 10-125 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5, and the winning flash is displayed. The blinking control of the lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the stick lamp 135SG00X, and the button lamp 135SG009Y in the cycle T1 is started. In the blinking control, each lamp is lit at a brightness C1 which is higher than the brightness C2.

Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, as shown in FIGS. 10-125 (D), 10-126 (E), and 10-126 (F), the specific display display start effect B described above is used. An animation in which the character A appears from the winning flash lamp 135SG009F whose blinking is controlled is displayed, and an animation in which the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed. Then, after the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the position where the hold display in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed (in the case of the feature unit 135SG, the fourth hold). An animation that attacks (acts) on the display position) is displayed.

After the character A acts on the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the hold display, which is the target of the running flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term), gradually appears from the bottom to the top at the affected position. The appearance animation is displayed (see FIGS. 10-20 (D-1) to 10-20 (D-5)). The hold display for which the appearance animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D has been completed shifts to the rotation display as the other hold display as the specific display rotation display effect.

When the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is completed, the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is started from the end timing. As shown in FIGS. 10-127 (G) and 10-127 (H), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 as the flash effect at the time of the second prize. , Blinking in the brightness C2 and cycle T2 (cycle T2> cycle T1) of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, blinking in the brightness C2 and cycle T2 of the game effect lamp 9 excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y (FIG. 10- 27 (A) to blinking in the manner shown in FIGS. 10-27 (D)), the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S of the character A around the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in the image display device 5 is started at regular intervals. NS.

The blinking of the game effect lamp 9 excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y in the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 is a color corresponding to the background image of the image display device 5 (for example, if the background image is a daytime image). Gradation with bluish colors, if the background image is an evening image, gradation with reddish colors, etc.) is executed.

The cycle T2, which is the blinking cycle of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, is a cycle longer than the above-mentioned cycle T1 but shorter than the above-mentioned cycle T0 (length of lamp blinking cycle: T0> T2). > T1). It should be noted that the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y are not turned on during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-128 (I) and 10-128 (J), when the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5, the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is excluded. 1 The silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B having transparency over the entire display area 135SG005F is overlapped and displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 10-128 (J), 10-129 (K), and 10-129 (L), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the present modification 135SG-7 is executed regardless of whether or not it is the symbol determination period. That is, as shown in FIG. 10-128 (J), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is overlapped and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period, and the speakers 8L and 8R display the silhouette image 135SG005S. At the time of winning, the flash effect compatible sound is output at the volume V2.

When the symbol confirmation period ends, a new variable display is started. At this time, in the image display device 5, the hold display first displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is moved to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display and is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The display position of the remaining hold display is shifted to the right by one. Further, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 is also started.

In the variable display, as shown in FIGS. 10-129 (K) and 10-129 (L), the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed together with the black image 135SG005B in the image display device 5 is larger than the previous variable display. It may be displayed. By displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S larger than the previous variable display in this way, the silhouette image is duplicated in the active display area 135SG005A.

As shown in FIGS. 10-130 (M) and 10-130 (N), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the small symbol 135SG005M are combined to indicate that they are out of alignment in the image display device 5. The derivation display is performed (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. Even during the symbol confirmation period, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is executed. That is, as shown in FIG. 10-130 (N), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is duplicated and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period. In particular, the silhouette image 135SG005S is also displayed overlapping with the active display area 135SG005A. Further, from the speakers 8L and 8R, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2.

In this modified example 135SG-7, one of two silhouette images 135SG005S having different sizes can be displayed as the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed by the image display device 5 as a flash effect at the time of winning, and a large size silhouette can be displayed. When the image 135SG005S is displayed, the embodiment in which the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A are displayed in an overlapping manner is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the silhouette image 135SG005S having a large size is not limited to this. And the active display area 135SG005A may be displayed in duplicate only when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is executed. By doing so, the player can easily recognize the variable display corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, and the silhouette image 135SG005S hides the active display area 135SG005A, that is, the active display corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning. Therefore, it is possible to give the player unexpectedness and improve the game interest.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-7, the silhouette image 135SG005S having a different size can be displayed on the image display device 5 as a flash effect at the time of winning, and is active with the silhouette image 135SG005S according to the size of the displayed silhouette image 135SG005S. Since the overlapping mode with the display area 135SG005A is different, the game entertainment can be improved.

In the modified example 135SG-7, a case where the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A overlap and a case where the active display area 135SG005A do not overlap are provided according to the size of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5. The present invention is not limited to this, and the overlapping area between the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A differs depending on the size of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5 (for example, active display). A case where only a part of the area 135SG005A overlaps with the silhouette image 135SG005S, a case where the entire area of the active display area 135SG005A overlaps with the silhouette image 135SG005S, etc. may be provided.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-7, a case where the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A overlap according to the size of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5 is provided. Before the variable display, which is the target of the winning flash effect, is started, it overlaps with the hold display, which is the target of the winning flash effect displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed so as to be performed, and while the variable display that is the target of the winning flash effect is being executed, it overlaps with the active display that is the target of the winning flash effect displayed in the active display area 135SG005A. The silhouette image 135SG005S may be displayed. By doing so, the player can easily recognize the hold display and the active display corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, and the silhouette image 135SG005S hides not only the hold display but also the active display. It is possible to further improve the game entertainment by giving it even more unexpectedness.

In the present modification 135SG-7, a form in which only one of the hold display and the active display is hidden by the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning is illustrated, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, there may be a case where both the hold display and the active display are hidden by the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-7, a form in which the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning can be displayed in an overlapping manner in the active display area 135SG005A and the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is illustrated, but the present invention illustrates the form. The present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the pseudo continuous effect is executed in the variable display during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning as illustrated in the feature unit 135SG, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, "middle" is displayed. The silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning may be overlapped and displayed on the special symbol (see FIG. 10-40, etc.) stopped in the decorative symbol display area 5C. By doing so, the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning hides the special symbol for notifying the temporary stop, so that the player can be surprised and the game entertainment can be improved.

In the modified example 135SG-7, as the revariable display effect in the present invention, a mode in which the special symbol is stopped in the decorative symbol display area 5C of "medium" is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, as the revariable display effect, an image different from the special symbol may be displayed on the image display device 5, and the silhouette image 135SG005S as the flash effect at the time of winning may be displayed overlapping with the image.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, if a start winning to the first starting port occurs during the execution of the reach effect of the super reach, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning is not determined (decided to be non-execution). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 135SG-8, when a start winning prize is generated to the first starting port during execution of the variable display, the variable display is performed. If the specified period is equal to or less than the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning may not be determined (determined to be non-execution). By doing so, when the remaining period of the variable display is shorter than or equal to the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term, the flash effect at the time of winning (flash effect at the time of winning the previous term) is executed, so that the flash at the time of winning is flashed. It is possible to prevent the specific display (hold display or active display) of the target of the effect from becoming difficult to understand.

In the modified example 135SG-8, a mode is illustrated in which whether or not to execute the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the remaining period of the variable display and the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term. Is not limited to this, and whether or not to execute the flash effect at the time of winning depends on the period other than the remaining period of the variable display and the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (for example, 5 seconds or 10 seconds). ) And may be used as a reference.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-8, when a start winning prize is generated to the first starting port during the execution of the variable display, the remaining period of the variable display is specified, and the specified period is the flash effect at the time of the previous term winning. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specified period is equal to or less than the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term. In the case of, the flash effect at the time of winning may be executed from the start timing of the next variable display, provided that the variable display result of the variable display is out of alignment. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the reach effect of the super reach and the flash effect at the time of winning from being deteriorated due to the overlapping execution of the reach effect of the super reach and the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect, the blinking in the brightness C1 and the cycle T1 (light emitting mode in the flash effect in the previous term winning) and the brightness C2 and the cycle T2. There are two light emitting modes, that is, blinking (light emitting mode in the flash effect at the time of late winning). On the other hand, as the light emission mode of the start port lamp 135SG009S in the start port lamp light emission effect, blue light emission at the brightness C2 according to the display pattern β and red light emission at the brightness C2 according to the display pattern γ are included. It is provided. That is, the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a form in which the number of light emitting modes of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect and the number of light emitting modes of the starting port lamp 135SG009S in the starting port lamp light emitting effect are the same. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 135SG-9, the number of light emitting modes of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect and the light emission of the starting port lamp 135SG009S in the starting port lamp light emitting effect. It may be different from the number of modes.

In particular, as shown in the modified example 135SG-5, a display pattern δ and a display pattern ε are provided as display patterns for the hold display and the active display, and these display patterns δ are provided as the light emission mode of the start port lamp 135SG009S in the start port lamp light emission effect. Even if the number of light emitting modes of the starting port lamp 135SG009S in the starting port lamp light emitting effect is set to be larger than the number of light emitting modes of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect by providing the light emitting mode according to the display pattern ε. good. By doing so, the variation of the light emission of the start port lamp 135SG009S increases, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is emitted as a flash effect at the time of winning and the start port lamp 135SG009S is emitted at the start port lamp emission effect is exemplified, but the present invention is limited thereto. However, as a modified example 135SG-10, even if the light emitting region where the winning flash lamp 135SG009F emits light as the winning flash effect is provided larger than the light emitting region where the starting port lamp 135SG009S emits as the starting port lamp light emitting effect. good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-28, when the execution of both the flash effect at the time of winning and the hold display advance notice effect is decided based on the starting prize, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning generates the starting prize. The start lamp 135SG009S emits light until the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display, which is the target of the start prize flash effect, while the start port lamp 135SG009S is the target of the hold display notice effect after the start prize occurs (at the time of winning). Since it emits light until the end of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect), by applying the modified example 135SG-10, the light emission corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is executed for an excessively long time. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation that the start port lamp 135SG009S is controlled to the jackpot game state by the light emitting mode of the start port lamp 135SG009S, while preventing the deterioration of the game interest due to the above.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which the start port lamp 135SG009S is made to emit light without blinking is illustrated as a start port lamp light emission effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the start is started as a start port lamp light emission effect. The mouth lamp 135SG009S may be blinked. Further, when the start port lamp 135SG009S is blinked as the start port lamp light emitting effect in this way, the blinking cycle of the start port lamp 135SG009S is set to the blinking cycle (cycle T2) of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect. It may be different. By making the blinking cycle of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning different from the blinking cycle of the start port lamp 135SG009S in this way, the player pays attention to both the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the start port lamp 135SG009S. It can be made to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIG. 10-28, when the flash effect at the time of winning is executed, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, etc. are temporarily turned off. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 135SG-11, when a flash effect at the time of winning is executed, the brightness of the backlight or the like once built in the image display device 5 is used. The flash effect at the time of winning may be started after the visibility of the image displayed on the image display device 5 is lowered by lowering. In this way, when the flash effect at the time of winning is executed, the player can easily recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning by reducing the visibility of the image displayed on the image display device 5.

In the modified example 135SG-11, the visibility of the image displayed on the image display device 5 is lowered by lowering the brightness of the backlight or the like built in the image display device 5, that is, the image display. Although a mode in which the image display device 5 is changed to a low visibility state having lower visibility than the immediately preceding state by changing the brightness of the device 5 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the image is not limited to this. As a form of reducing the visibility of the image displayed on the display device 5, in addition to lowering the 5 brightness (brightness) of the image display device, the display of the image on the image display device 5 is temporarily stopped. The movable body 32 is operated in front of the image display device 5, the image display device 5 itself is repeatedly operated in the vertical direction and the like, and the image display device 5 is relatively displayed by increasing the brightness of the game effect lamp 9. It may be something that reduces the visibility of the image.

That is, the "low visibility state" in the present invention means a state in which the visibility of the image display device 5 is lower than that of the immediately preceding state, by a method other than the reduction of the brightness of the image display device 5. Some of them reduce the visibility of the image.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-28, in the feature unit 135SG, when the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided according to the start winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning starts from the speakers 8L and 8R. Although the embodiment in which the flash lamp 135SG009F starts blinking at the time of winning is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 135SG-12, the flash effect at the time of winning is produced according to the starting prize. When execution is decided, after the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking, the flash effect corresponding sound at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display and the active display is completed. You may. By doing so, it is possible to promptly make the player aware that the start winning has occurred due to the blinking (light emission) of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and that the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning has been decided. You can improve the game entertainment.

In this modified example 135SG-12, after the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display and the active display is completed. Although the embodiment is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R and is displayed on hold. The appearance animation of the active display may be started.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-28, the feature unit 135SG outputs the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning, and is used for the flash at the time of winning. The brightness C1 of the lamp 135SG009F and the blinking in the cycle T1 and the display of the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 are executed. An example is illustrated in which the output in V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the blinking in the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S in the image display device 5 are repeatedly executed, but the present invention is limited thereto. As a modified example 135SG-13, even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize, when the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is started, it is the same as during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize. , Output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1, and temporarily display the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5. You may. By doing so, even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 and the flash at the time of winning are the same as the flash effect at the time of the first prize. The player recognizes that the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started by executing the blinking of the lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C1 and the period T1 and the display of the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5. Since it can be made easier, it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game.

In the present modification 135SG-13, even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the second half, when the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is started, it is the same as during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize. The speaker 8L and 8R temporarily output the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V1, the brightness C1 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the blinking at the cycle T1, and the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 is temporarily executed. Although the embodiment is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R. Output of the flash effect compatible sound at volume V1, blinking at the brightness C1 and period T1 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and executing only one or two of the display of the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5. You may do so.

Further, as the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present specification, the jackpot probability differs depending on the set value (FIGS. 1 to 9), and the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning are performed based on the starting prize. It is feasible, and the change in the light emitting mode as the flash effect at the time of winning differs depending on the lamp (feature part 135SG, FIGS. 10-1 to 10-68), and the flash effect at the time of winning during the variable display symbol determination period. (Modified example 135SG-1, Fig. 10-69 to Fig. 10-89), it is possible to execute the reach production of super reach with different jackpot expectations, and the movable body moves before the reach production with high jackpot expectations. The effect can be executed, and when the movable body motion effect is executed, the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed from the start timing of the movable body motion effect to the light emitting mode corresponding to the movable body motion effect. (Modification 2, FIGS. 10-90 to 10-107), the step-up effect can be executed during the variable display, and when the step-up effect is executed when the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed, the flash at the time of winning is executed. While the lamp 135SG009F is made to emit light in a manner corresponding to the step-up effect, when the step-up effect is executed during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning, the light emitting mode of the lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is used as the flash effect at the time of winning. A lamp that does not change from the corresponding light emitting mode (modification example 135SG-3, FIGS. 10-108 to 10-118), a movable body motion effect can be executed before the start of the reach effect of the super reach, and a flash lamp at the time of winning. When the light emitting mode of 135SG009F changes from the light emitting mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect from the start timing of the movable body motion effect, and according to the reach effect from the start timing of the reach effect. The jackpot expectation is different depending on the light emission mode (modification example 135SG-4, FIG. 10-119), and the display patterns α to ε are provided as the display modes of the hold display and the active display, and the start is started. Depending on the decision to execute the flash effect at the time of winning due to the winning, the ratio of which display pattern is determined as the display pattern of the hold display or the active display differs (modification example 135SG-5, FIG. 10-). 120) When the display pattern ε is determined as the display pattern of the hold display, the display putter is displayed from the display pattern ε according to the execution of the action effect. A silhouette image displayed on the image display device 5 according to the progress of the flash effect at the time of winning, which changes to any of α to the display pattern γ (modification example 135SG-6, FIGS. 10-121 to 10-123). Although the display mode of the 135SG005S changes (modification example 135SG-7, FIGS. 10-124 to 10-130), the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention has a plurality of features and modifications thereof. From the example, two or more feature portions and modified examples may be combined and carried out.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, the pachinko game machine 1 is exemplified as a game machine that plays a predetermined game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game machine that plays a predetermined game is at least a predetermined game. In addition to the pachinko gaming machine 1, a slot machine or a general game machine may be used as long as it performs the above.

The present invention is not limited to those described above. Further, the specific configuration is included in the present invention even if there are changes or additions within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention, in addition to the above-described embodiment and other embodiment examples described later.

Further, all or a part of the configurations shown in the above-described embodiment and each modification, and the configurations shown in the following embodiment and each modification may be arbitrarily combined.

It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and the following-described embodiment disclosed this time are exemplary in all respects and are not considered to be restrictive. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of claims rather than the above description and the description below, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.

The gaming machine of the present invention is also a gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1) that can execute variable display and can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player. The light emitting means (for example, main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d, winning flash lamp 135SG009F) and specific display corresponding to variable display (for example, hold display and active) A specific display effect (for example, a hold display) for displaying the specific display based on a display means (for example, an image display device 5) capable of displaying the display) and the fact that a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, the occurrence of a start winning prize). Or an active display (a portion displayed by any of the display patterns α to the display pattern γ) and a specific light emitting effect (for example, a flash effect at the time of winning) that causes the light emitting means to emit light, and an effect executing means (for example, a winning flash effect) that can be executed. The effect control CPU 120) is provided, and the effect executing means is specified so that the light emission of the light emitting means can be recognized by the player before the display of the specific display is completed in the specific display effect. The light emitting effect is executed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10-28, 10-29 (A) to 10-32 (H), 10-49 (A) to 10-50 (D), and held. The part that lights the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning before the display of the display is completed), the specific light emitting effect is controlled to be more advantageous when the specific light emitting effect is executed than when the specific light emitting effect is not executed. The ratio is high (for example, as shown in FIG. 10-24, when the flash effect at the time of winning is executed, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state is higher than the case where the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed). The light emitting means includes a first light emitting means (for example, a winning flash lamp 135SG009F) and a second light emitting means different from the first light emitting means (for example, a main lamp 9a, a frame lamp 9b, an attacker lamp 9c, and a movable body lamp). 9d), the first light emitting means includes the first period from the start of the specific light emitting effect to a predetermined timing (for example, the flash effect at the time of winning the first term after the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started). The second period (for example, the period from the end timing to the end timing) and the second period from the predetermined timing to the specific timing of the variable display that is the target of the specific light emission effect (for example, the variable that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning after the start of the flash effect at the time of late winning). Until the display reach production start timing (For example, as shown in FIG. 10-28, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F has a brightness C1 during the execution period of the first-half winning flash effect). (A portion that blinks in the cycle T1 and blinks in the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 during the late winning flash effect execution period), the second light emitting means is in an mode corresponding to the specific light emitting effect in the first period. (For example, as shown in FIG. 10-28, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d). Is a portion that blinks at brightness C1 and cycle T1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the first half, and blinks at brightness C2 and cycle T0 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the second half). The specific light emitting effect can be started before the start of the specific display effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10-29 (A) to 10-32 (H), the specific display display start effect B is executed. If this is the case, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d will emit light from the timing before the start of the hold display or active display display. The display area of the display means includes a first display area and a second display area that is a region around the first display area and is narrower than the first display area (for example, image display). The display area of the device 5 includes a first display area 20SH51 and a second display area 20SH52 that is a region around the first display area 20SH51 and is narrower than the first display area 20SH51). Can display a background image corresponding to the advantageous state in the first display area and the second display area (for example, the image display device 5 has the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52. In the second display area, the background image corresponding to the jackpot game state can be displayed, etc.), and the grant amount display regarding the grant amount of the granted game value can be displayed on the front side of the background image. (For example, the image display device 5 can display the acquired number display 20SHK regarding the number of awarded prize balls on the front side of the background image in the second display area 20SH52, etc.), and at least the first display. In the area, the amount of game value given is set to a predetermined amount on the front side of the background image. As a notification display for notifying that the value has been reached, a first notification display for notifying that the amount of the game value to be given has reached the first predetermined amount and a notification that the amount for giving the game value has reached the second predetermined amount. It is possible to display a second notification display to be notified (for example, in the image display device 5, at least in the first display area 20SH51, the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state is "Kiriban" on the front side of the background image. As the acquisition number notification display 20SHKH that notifies that the number of "" has been reached, it is possible to display the acquisition number notification display of "1000 over" when the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state reaches "1000". When the number of prize balls granted in the jackpot game state reaches "2000", it is possible to display the acquisition number notification display of "2000 over", etc.), and the grant amount display is the above-mentioned advantage. It is updated every time the game value is given in the state (for example, the acquired number display 20SHK is updated every time the game ball is paid out as a prize ball in the big hit game state), and the notification display displays the display. The display ends when a specific period elapses from the start (for example, the acquired number notification display 20SHKH ends the display when a predetermined period elapses from the start of the display, etc.), and the notification display is displayed. The character used is a character having a size larger than the character used for the given amount display (for example, the character used for the acquired number notification display 20SHKK is a character having a size larger than the character used for the acquired number display 20SHK). The characters used for the grant amount display and the notification display include specific characters in which a specific area surrounded by lines forming the characters is formed (for example, the acquisition number display 20SHK and the acquisition number notification display). The characters used for 20SHKH include specific characters in which a specific area surrounded by lines forming the characters is formed, etc.), and the specific characters used for the amount of grant display are visually recognized by the background image from the specific area. It is impossible (for example, the specific character used for the acquired number display 20SHK cannot see the background image from the specific area), and the specific character used for the notification display is the background image from the specific area. Is visible (for example, the specific character used in the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is such that the background image can be visually recognized from a specific area).

According to such a configuration, since the light emitting means emits light before the display of the specific display is completed, it becomes easier for the player to recognize the specific display that is the target of the specific light emission effect, and the specific light emission effect is the first. In one period, not only the first light emitting means but also the second light emitting means can emit light in a manner corresponding to the specific light emitting effect, so that the specific light emitting effect can be made more prominent. It becomes easier for the player to recognize the specific display that is. Further, since the specific light emitting effect is started before the start of the specific display effect, the specific light emitting effect can be made more prominent. In addition, a display including specific characters can be preferably displayed in relation to the background image.

That is, depending on the light emitting mode of the light emitting means, the specific display that is the target of the specific light emitting effect can be made into a game machine that is easy for the player to recognize, and the background image is displayed from the specific area surrounded by the lines forming the characters. The characters that are considered invisible and used for the notification display are larger in size than the characters used for the grant amount display, and the background image can be visually recognized from a specific area, so that the grant amount display is a small character. However, while it can always be easily confirmed, the notification display can display the fact that the predetermined amount has been reached in large characters without hiding the background image. That is, it is possible to provide a gaming machine in which the effect is easy for the player to understand when installed in the game hall, the player can easily grasp the amount of the added value for the game, and can easily recognize that the predetermined amount has been reached.

Further, an example of a form of a gaming machine in which a player can easily recognize a specific display that is a target of a specific light emitting effect, and a display including a specific character can be suitably displayed in relation to a background image. As a display means (for example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be controlled to a jackpot gaming state, etc.), the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player. The display area of the display means is a first display area and a second display area that is a region around the first display area and is narrower than the first display area. (For example, the display area of the image display device 5 includes a first display area 20SH51, a second display area 20SH52 that is a region around the first display area 20SH51 and is narrower than the first display area 20SH51, and the like. The display means can display a background image corresponding to the advantageous state in the first display area and the second display area (for example, the image display device 5 has a first display). In the area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52, the background image corresponding to the jackpot gaming state can be displayed, etc.), and in the second display area, the gaming value given to the front side of the background image It is possible to display the grant amount display regarding the grant amount (for example, the image display device 5 can display the acquisition number display 20SHK regarding the grant number of prize balls on the front side of the background image in the second display area 20SH52. At least in the first display area, the amount of the value given for the game is the first place as a notification display for notifying that the amount of the value given for the game has reached a predetermined amount on the front side of the background image. It is possible to display a first notification display for notifying that a fixed amount has been reached and a second notification display for notifying that the amount of added gaming value has reached a second predetermined amount (for example, the image display device 5). Is a jackpot gaming state as the acquisition number notification display 20SHKH that notifies that the number of prize balls given in the jackpot gaming state has reached the number of "Kiriban" on the front side of the background image at least in the first display area 20SH51. When the number of prize balls given in is reached "1000", it is possible to display the acquisition number notification display of "1000 over", and the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state reaches "2000". (For example, it is possible to display the acquisition number notification display of "2000 over"), and the grant amount display is the game price in the advantageous state. It is updated every time a value is given (for example, the acquired number display 20SHK is updated every time a game ball is paid out as a prize ball in a jackpot game state, etc.), and the notification display is displayed after the display is started. The display ends when a specific period elapses (for example, the acquired number notification display 20SHKH ends the display when a predetermined period elapses after the display starts), and the characters used for the notification display are , Characters having a size larger than the characters used for the given amount display (for example, the characters used for the acquired number notification display 20SHKK are larger than the characters used for the acquired number display 20SHK, etc.) The characters used in the grant amount display and the notification display include specific characters in which a specific area surrounded by lines forming the characters is formed (for example, used in the acquisition number display 20SHK and the acquisition number notification display 20SHKH). The character includes a specific character in which a specific area surrounded by a line forming the character is formed), and the specific character used for the given amount display cannot see the background image from the specific area. (For example, the background image of the specific character used for the acquired number display 20SHK cannot be visually recognized from the specific area, etc.), and the specific character used for the notification display can be visually recognized from the specific area. (For example, the specific character used in the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is such that the background image can be visually recognized from the specific area). Hereinafter, an example of a form example of these gaming machines will be described as another form example.

(Explanation of feature 042AK)
Next, the gaming machine in the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-1 to 11-21. The pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment starts displaying the number of balls acquired after a predetermined period in which the attacker is in the open state in the first round game, and the attacker wins a prize within the predetermined period. If not, a predetermined display indicating that the number of balls won has not increased is displayed, and if the attacker wins a prize within the predetermined period, a specific display different from the predetermined display is displayed. Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 042AK having such features will be described. The same parts as those described in the above basic explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 11-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1, which includes a main lamp 9a, a frame lamp 9b (lower left lamp 9bL1, upper left lamp 9bL2, lower right lamp 9bR1, upper right lamp 9bR2), attacker lamp 9c, and movable lamp 9d. , Speaker lamps 9eL, 9eR, display device lower lamp 9f (left side display device lower lamp 9fL, right side display device lower lamp 9fR), general winning opening vicinity lamp 9g, and other game effect lamps 9 are all turned on. It is a figure. In the feature portion 042AK of the present embodiment, which will be described in detail later, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b (lower left lamp 9bL1, upper left lamp 9bL2, lower right lamp 9bR1, upper right lamp 9bR2), attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d , Speaker lamps 9eL, 9eR, display device lower lamp 9f (left side display device lower lamp 9fL, right side display device lower lamp 9fR), game effect lamp 9 such as general winning opening vicinity lamp 9g, lights in sequence from lower left to lower right. It is possible to suggest to the player that he should hit right.

FIG. 11-2 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 11-2, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is on (step 042AKS001). At this time, if the jackpot flag is on (step 042AKS001; Yes), the effect waiting time at the start of the jackpot is set (step 042AKS002). For example, in the process of step 042AKS002, a predetermined timer initial value corresponding to the effect waiting time at the start of the big hit may be set in the game control process timer provided in the RAM 102.

Following the process of step 042AKS002, a setting for transmitting a hit start designation command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 is performed (step 042AKS003). For example, in the process of step 042AKS003, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the hit start designation command table prepared in advance for transmitting the hit start designation command is the buffer area designated by the send command pointer in the send command buffer. It should be stored in. After that, the jackpot flag is cleared to turn it off (step 042AKS004). In addition, a setting for ending the probability change state and the time saving state is made (step 042AKS005). For example, in step 042AKS005, a process of clearing the probability change flag and the time saving flag to turn off the state, a process of clearing the special figure fluctuation counter for counting the number of executions of the special figure game in the probability change state and the time saving state, and the like are performed. It should be executed. Then, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "4", which is a value corresponding to the pre-processing for opening the large winning opening (step 042AKS006), the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

If the big hit flag is off in step 042AKS001 (step 042AKS001; No), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is on (step 042AKS007). At this time, if the small hit flag is on (step 042AKS007; No), the effect waiting time at the start of the small hit is set (step 042AKS008). For example, in the process of step 042AKS008, a predetermined timer initial value corresponding to the effect waiting time at the start of the small hit may be set in the game control process timer.

Following the process of step 042AKS008, the setting for transmitting the hit start designation command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 is made in the same manner as the process of step 042AKS003 (step 042AKS009). After that, the small hit flag is cleared to turn it off (step 042AKS010). Then, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8", which is a value corresponding to the small hit opening preprocessing (step 042AKS011).

If the small hit flag is off in step 042AKS007 (step 042AKS007; No), the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing (step 042AKS012). .. After executing any of the processes of step 042AKS011 and step 042AKS012, it is determined whether or not to end the probability change state or the time saving state (step 042AKS013). For example, in the process of step 042AKS003, the value of the special figure fluctuation count counter (special figure fluctuation count value) is updated by, for example, 1 subtraction or 1 addition, and the updated special figure fluctuation count value is predetermined. It is determined whether or not it matches the special game state end determination value. At this time, if it matches the special game state end determination value, the probability change state or the time reduction state may be ended and the normal state may be controlled by clearing the probability change flag or the time reduction flag to turn it off. On the other hand, if it does not match the special game state end determination value, the state of the probability change flag and the time reduction flag may be maintained, and the process of step 042AKS013 may be completed. After executing the end determination of the probability change state or the time saving state, the special symbol stop process ends. It should be noted that the end determination based on the special figure fluctuation count value may be performed only when the time is shortened, and the probability variation state may be continued until the next variable display result becomes a "big hit". .. Alternatively, for example, the probability change state is terminated by extracting numerical data indicating a random value for determining the probability change state end from a random counter provided in the RAM 102 and referring to the probability change state end determination table previously stored in the ROM 101 or the like. It may be decided whether or not to do so.

FIG. 11-3 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S114 of FIG. 6 as the big hit opening pre-process. In the jackpot opening preprocessing shown in FIG. 11-3, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot start flag is on (step 042AKS021). Here, the jackpot start flag is set to the on state in the special symbol stop process of step S113 shown in FIG. 6 in response to the jackpot flag being on. If the jackpot start flag is on in step 042AKS021 (step 042AKS021; Yes), it is determined whether or not the jackpot start effect is waiting (step 042AKS022). As an example, in the special symbol stop process in step S113 shown in FIG. 3, when the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”, a predetermined timer initial value corresponding to the effect waiting time at the start of the jackpot is set. Set in the game control process timer. In this case, in the process of step S312, it is determined that the jackpot start effect is waiting in response to the fact that the game control process timer value does not match the predetermined waiting time elapsed determination value (for example, "0"). , Corresponding to the match, it may be determined that the production is not waiting at the start of the big hit.

If the jackpot start effect is waiting in step 042AKS022, step 042AKS022; Yes), for example, after updating by subtracting 1 from the game control process timer value (step 042AKS023), the jackpot opening pre-processing ends. On the other hand, if the jackpot start production is not waiting in step 042AKS022 (step 042AKS022; No), the jackpot start flag is cleared (step 042AKS024), and the jackpot opening count counter is cleared. (Step 042AKS025), the jackpot type buffer value stored in the RAM 102 is read out (step 042AKS026), and the release control pattern corresponding to the jackpot type buffer value is set. In the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment, a common open control pattern is set regardless of the jackpot type. For example, when there is a jackpot type of "probability", a jackpot of "probability change" or "non-probability change" It may be set to an open control pattern different from the type. Further, even if the jackpot type is "probability variation" or "non-probability variation", different opening control patterns are set depending on the jackpot type, for example, the jackpot type of "probability variation 1" and "probability variation 2" are set to different opening control patterns. It may be set in a pattern.

After executing the process of step 042AKS026, it is determined whether or not the player is waiting for opening the large winning opening in the next round (waiting for the next opening) (step 042AKS027). As an example, in the process of step 042AKS027, it is determined whether or not the game control process timer value matches the next open waiting end determination value, and if it does not match, it is determined that the next open wait end is in progress, but if they match. If this is the case, it may be determined that the device is not waiting for opening next time. If the next opening standby is in step 042AKS027 (step 042AKS027; Yes), the process proceeds to step 042AKS023 to update the game control process timer value. The game control process timer value updated in step 042AKS023 is the time set as the waiting time at the start of the jackpot in step 042AKS002 shown in FIG. 11-2, or the post-processing after opening the jackpot in step S116 of FIG. This is the time set as the interval time between each round.

If it is determined in step 042AKS027 that the next opening is not waiting (step 042AKS027; No), the large winning opening is opened according to the set opening control pattern and the count value in the large winning opening opening counter. (Step 042AKS028). As an example, in the process of step 042AKS028, a large prize formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is formed by setting a predetermined timer initial value corresponding to the large winning opening opening time in the game control process timer. The large winning opening time, which is the upper limit of the time for opening the mouth, is set. Further, for example, the solenoid drive signal for the predetermined large winning opening door is started to be output via the predetermined solenoid circuit, so that the large winning opening door solenoid for opening the large winning opening is turned on. The state is set.

At this time, for example, when the count value in the large winning opening opening counter is any of "1" to "15", the timer initial value corresponding to 29.5 seconds as the large winning opening opening time is the game control process timer. Is set to.

Then, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting the designated command during the opening of the large winning opening to the effect control board 12 (step 042AKS029). After executing the process of step 042AKS029, the value of the special figure process flag is updated by adding 1 to the count value of the number of times the large winning opening is opened (step 042AKS030), and the value of the special figure process flag is a value corresponding to the process during the opening of the big hit. After updating to 5 ”(step 042AKS031), the pre-processing for opening the large winning opening is completed.

FIG. 11-4 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S115 of FIG. 6 as the process during the opening of the jackpot. In the process during the jackpot opening shown in FIG. 11-4, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the game ball has been won in the jackpot by, for example, determining whether or not the count switch 23 has been turned on. (Step 042AKS041). If there is no winning of the game ball in the large winning opening in step 042AKS041 (step 042AKS041; No), the process proceeds to step 042AKS044.

On the other hand, if there is a winning of the game ball to the big winning opening in step 042AKS041 (step 042AKS041; Yes), the CPU 103 updates by adding 1 to the winning number count value, and the game ball is the big winning opening. A setting is made to transmit a prize designation command indicating that a prize has been won from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step 042AKS042). Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the updated winning number count value is a predetermined number (for example, 10) (step 042AKS043). If the winning number count value is not a predetermined number (step 042AKS043; No), after the game control process timer value is subtracted by 1 and updated (step 042AKS044), for example, the game control process timer value corresponds to 29.5 seconds. It is determined whether or not 29.5 seconds have passed since the large winning opening was opened, depending on whether or not the timer value is matched (step 042AKS045). At this time, if 29.5 seconds have not elapsed (step 042AKS045; No), the process of opening the large winning opening is terminated as it is.

When it is determined in step 042AKS043 that the updated winning number count value is a predetermined number (step 042AKS043; Yes), or 29.5 seconds have passed since the large winning opening was opened in step 042AKS045. When it is determined (step 042AKS043; Yes), for example, the output of the solenoid drive signal to the predetermined solenoid for the winning opening door is stopped via the predetermined solenoid circuit to close the winning opening. The solenoid for the large winning opening door is set to be turned off (step 042AKS046), and the winning number count value is cleared (step 042AKS047).

After executing the process of step 042AKS047, the setting for transmitting the designated command after opening the large winning opening is made to the effect control board 12 (step 042AKS048), and the value of the special figure process flag is set after opening the large winning opening. After updating to "6", which is a value corresponding to the processing (step 042AKS049), the processing during the jackpot opening is terminated.

In this way, the special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. 11-2, the jackpot opening pre-processing shown in FIG. 11-3, the jackpot opening processing shown in FIG. 11-4, etc. (including the jackpot opening post-processing and the jackpot end processing). Is executed to set transmission of various effect control commands such as a winning start designation command, a large winning opening open designation command, a winning designation command, and a large winning opening post-opening designation command. Then, the command control process of step S27 in FIG. 5 is executed, and the effect control command set to be transmitted is transmitted to the control board on the sub side such as the effect control board 12, so that the effect control board 12 side , The timing of each timing such as the start of the big hit, the opening and closing of the big winning opening (start of the round) and the closing (the end of the round), the winning of the big winning opening and the end of the big hit, etc. is grasped.

FIG. 11-5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing performed in the jackpot middle effect processing of step S176 of FIG. 9 as various display processing. In the various display processes shown in FIG. 11-5, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a hit end designation command has been received (step 042AKS051). When it is determined in the big hit opening post-processing of step S116 of FIG. 6 that the number of executions of the round that opens the big winning opening has reached the set upper limit execution number, the hit end designation command is executed on the main board. It is a command transmitted from the side of 11, and is a command for ending the big hit middle effect and executing the ending effect.

When it is determined that the hit end designation command has not been received (step 042AKS051; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the nR (the nR predetermined period has elapsed). Determine (step 042AKS052). Note that n is a variable indicating the number of rounds, and the initial value is set to "1", which is sequentially added by 1 in the process of step 042AKS066 described later, and cleared to "1" in step 042AKS066. The predetermined period is 0.6 seconds, which is set as a timer value at the start of the round game, and when the timer value becomes "0", it may be determined that the predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the nR round. More specifically, from the side of the main board 11 in response to the fact that the big prize opening is completely open (it is detected that the big winning door has moved to the position where it is completely open). The designated command during the opening of the large winning opening is transmitted, and the timer value for a predetermined period may be counted from the timing when the command is received.

In addition, in the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment, as will be described later, after a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the round game of the first round, the number of acquired balls is displayed and the number of rounds is indicated. The display is done. On the side of the production control board 12, the number of acquisitions is obtained each time a winning designation command indicating that the game ball has won a prize is received in the big winning opening during the period from the big hit to the end (the period from the fanfare to the ending). Is continuously added by 15. When the effect control board 12 receives the prize designation command, it is necessary to first analyze the command, add the number of acquisitions, and display the added number of acquisitions. It takes a predetermined period to display. Therefore, if the predetermined period is too short, the series of processes will not be in time for the winning from the start of the round game of the first round until the predetermined period elapses, and "0000" will be displayed as the number of acquisitions. , The process of displaying "0015" may not catch up even though the prize is won (it becomes "0015" after "0000" is displayed, which gives the player a sense of discomfort). Therefore, in the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment, when a predetermined period of 0.6 seconds is provided and the game ball existing at the upper part of the large winning opening at the opening timing wins a prize from the opening until the number of rounds is displayed. In addition, a period in which "0015" is directly displayed without displaying "0000" as the number of acquisitions is secured. On the other hand, in the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment, the predetermined period is set to 0.6 seconds, which is the same as the firing interval when continuously firing, and the period from firing to winning the grand prize opening is set. Even if it is taken into consideration, the time interval required for the continuously fired game balls to win a prize in the large winning opening is the firing interval. Therefore, the number of winnings in the large winning opening is one from the opening of the large winning opening to the display of the number of winnings. Therefore, by increasing the number of winnings in the state before the number of acquisitions and the number of rounds are displayed, it is possible to prevent the number of acquisitions from being displayed at the timing when the number of rounds is displayed and to give the player a sense of discomfort. can do. Although the predetermined period in the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment is 0.6 seconds, which is the same as the firing interval, the predetermined period is not limited to 0.6 seconds and may be changed as appropriate.

When it is determined that the predetermined period has not elapsed since the start of the nR (step 042AKS052; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not n = 1, that is, whether or not it is the first round. Determine (step 042AKS053). n is a variable indicating the number of rounds, which is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. As described above, the initial value is set to "1", and 1 is sequentially added in the process of step 042AKS066, and "1" is added in step 042AKS068. Cleared to. In the process of step 042AKS053, it is determined whether or not n = 1 by confirming the value of n.

When it is determined that n = 1 (step 042AKS053; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 performs a right-handed effect suggesting that the player should hit right, and suggests that the player is in a big hit game state. The operation of the fanfare effect is controlled (step 042AKS054). On the other hand, when it is determined that n ≠ 1 (step 042AKS053; No), the effect control CPU 120 displays the number of rounds corresponding to the n-1R, displays the number of acquisitions, and displays the number of acquisitions, and the n-1R. (Step 042AKS055). In the process of step 042AKS055, for example, when n = 2, the round display indicating that it is the first round and the number of acquisitions are displayed, and the operation control of the big hit middle effect corresponding to the first round is performed. In the process of step 042AKS055, as a jackpot effect, a predetermined image is displayed on the image display device 5, the game effect lamp 9 is made to emit light in a pattern corresponding to the jackpot effect, and a predetermined song or sound is emitted from the speakers 8L and 8R. It suffices if the production of outputting is performed. The light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 during the jackpot production may be set in advance.

After executing the process of step 042AKS054 or step 042AKS055, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the winning designation command has been received, that is, whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the large winning opening (step 042AKS056). In the process of step 042AKS056, the winning is determined from the start of the nR to the predetermined period. When the winning designation command has not been received (step 042AKS056; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends various display processes as it is.

When the winning designation command is received, that is, when the winning opening is won by the predetermined period from the start of the nR (step 042AKS056; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 counts the number of winning balls. Is added by "15" (step 042AKS057). The count value of the number of acquired balls is stored in advance in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 with an initial value of "0", and "15" is added by the process of step 042AKS057 or the process of step 042AKS063 described later. The number of balls won is continuously counted during the so-called consecutive villa, and is cleared to "0" at the timing when the time saving control ends without the variable display result becoming a "big hit", that is, at the end timing of the consecutive villa. .. After executing the process of step 042AKS057, the effect control CPU 120 causes the attacker lamp 9c to emit light and outputs a winning sound corresponding to the winning (step 042AKS058). The light emission of the attacker lamp 9c in the process of step 042AKS058 (the same applies to step 042AKS064) is, for example, more than the number of light emission per unit time of the game effect lamps 9 other than the attacker lamp 9c that emits light during the big hit production (winning prize). It emits light in an aspect of notifying that it has been done. Therefore, it becomes easy to visually recognize that the game ball has won the big prize opening, and the game interest can be improved. As for the light emission of the attacker lamp 9c, the number of light emission per unit time may be larger at the time of winning and at the time of producing during the big hit. When a game ball wins a prize in the large winning opening, the attacker lamp 9c is made to emit light regardless of whether or not the winning is within a predetermined period, and a winning sound is output. Therefore, it becomes easy to recognize that the game ball has won the big prize opening, and the game interest can be improved.

After executing the process of step 042AKS058, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not n = 1, that is, whether or not it is the first round (1st R), as in step 042AKS053 (step 042AKS059). ). If n = 1, that is, if it is the first round (step 042AKS059; Yes), the various display processes are terminated as they are. On the other hand, if n ≠ 1, that is, if it is not the first round (step 042AKS059; No), the count value of the number of acquired balls added in step 042AKS057 is displayed (the number of acquired balls is displayed), and the number of acquired balls is displayed. After the update display (step 042AKS060), various display processes are terminated. In addition, in the feature unit 042AK of the present embodiment, when the acquired number update display is performed in the process of step 042AKS060, the count value of the acquired number of balls added in step 042AKS057 is not displayed as it is, but is shown in FIG. 11-. As shown in 12 (a-23), the count-up display (notification display indicating that the number of acquisitions is increasing) is performed, and then the number of acquisitions is displayed. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the number of balls to be acquired increases, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

When it is determined in step 042AKS052 of FIG. 11-5 that a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the nR (step 042AKS052; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 displays the number of rounds corresponding to the nR and the number of acquisitions. And, at the same time, the operation control of the effect during the big hit of the nR is performed (step 042AKS061). When n = 1, that is, in the case of the first round, the number of rounds and the number of acquisitions are displayed for the first time in step 042AKS061. In this case, if there is a prize before the elapse of the predetermined period, the number of acquisitions is updated and displayed in the step 042AKS061. Specifically, if a game ball wins a prize in the large winning opening before the lapse of a predetermined period, the number of acquisitions is added by "15" in step 042AKS057. Therefore, in step 042AKS061, FIG. 11-11 (a-20). ) Is displayed to count up (notification display that the number of acquisitions is increasing), and then as shown in FIG. 11-11 (a-21), the number of acquisitions has not increased in this big hit. The number of acquisitions (as a specific display) is displayed (display of "0015"), which is different from the predetermined display indicating You can do it after the upload). On the other hand, if the game ball has not won the big prize opening before the lapse of the predetermined period, the number of winnings remains "0" and the number of winnings has not increased in this big hit. Therefore, FIG. 11-11 (a). As shown in -22), as a predetermined display, the number of acquisitions is displayed (display of "0000") indicating that the number of acquisitions has not increased (if it is in a consecutive villa, the number of acquisitions at the time of the previous big hit remains the same. You can display it). In addition to "0000" as the display of the number of acquisitions (predetermined display) indicating that the number of acquisitions has not increased, a display other than a number such as "---" or "not increased" is performed. You may do so. Further, in step 042AKS061, as a jackpot effect, a predetermined image is displayed on the image display device 5, the game effect lamp 9 is made to emit light in a pattern corresponding to the jackpot effect, and predetermined music and sound are emitted from the speakers 8L and 8R. It suffices if the production of outputting is performed. The light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 during the jackpot production may be set in advance. In this way, during the predetermined period after the large winning opening is opened, that is, in the situation where the number of winnings is not displayed, only the attacker lamp 9c lights up when the game ball wins the large winning opening. However, in the situation where the number of acquisitions after the lapse of the predetermined period is displayed, the effect lamp 9 provided on the frame 3 for the double-game machine and the effect lamp 9 provided on the game board 2 are alternately alternated. Is turned on, and more effect lamps 9 are emitted than during a predetermined period. Therefore, since the specific display is performed when a prize is won within the predetermined period, it is possible to prevent the player from deteriorating the interest in the game without giving anxiety to the player, and after the number of acquisitions after the predetermined period is displayed. The production can be lively and the game entertainment can be improved. Further, since the effect lamp 9 is emitted at the same timing as the execution timing of the big hit middle effect, the effect can be excited at once at the timing when the big hit medium effect is executed, and the game entertainment can be improved.

After executing the process of step 042AKS061, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the winning designation command has been received, that is, whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the large winning opening (step 042AKS062). When the winning designation command is received, that is, when there is a winning in the big winning opening (step 042AKS062; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 adds "15" to the count value of the number of acquired balls (step 042AKS063). The attacker playing card 9c is made to emit light, the winning sound corresponding to the winning is output, the count-up is displayed (notification display that the number of acquisitions is increasing), and then the number of acquisitions is displayed. The number of acquisitions is updated. (Step 042AKS064).

After executing the process of step 042AKS064, or when the prize designation command is not received in step 042AKS062 (step 042AKS062; No), has the effect control CPU 120 started the next round of the nR, the n + 1R? It is determined whether or not (step 042AKS065). In step 042AKS065, for example, it may be determined whether or not a designated command during opening of the large winning opening indicating the start of the n + 1R is received from the side of the main board 11. When the n + 1R has not started, that is, when the designated command during the opening of the large winning opening has not been received and the nR remains (step 042AKS065; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends various display processes as it is. .. On the other hand, when the n + 1R starts, that is, when a designated command indicating the start of the n + 1R is received (step 042AKS065; Yes), after adding n by "1" (step 042AKS066), various display processes To finish. For example, when n = 1, that is, in the first round, n = 2 in step 042AKS066. Although n = 2 and the second round, until the predetermined period elapses, it is determined as No in steps 042AKS052 and 053, and in step 042AKS055, it corresponds to the first round which is the n-1R. The round display is performed, and after the lapse of a predetermined period, the round display corresponding to the second round, which is the nR, is performed (after being determined as Yes in step 042AKS052, it is displayed in the process of step 042AKS061).

When it is determined in step 042AKS051 that the hit end designation command has been received (step 042AKS051; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 sets to end the big hit middle effect corresponding to the round in order to perform the ending effect (step 042AKS051). 042AKS067), clear n to 1 (step 042AKS068), and end various display processes.

Subsequently, display timings such as round number display and acquisition number display and examples of effect operations will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 11-6 to 11-14. In the illustrated example, the case of the so-called first hit (first big hit) is shown, not in the consecutive villas.

FIG. 11-6 is a timing chart showing the opening timing of the large winning opening, the timing of various displays, and the like. 11-7 to 11-14 are diagrams showing an example of an effect operation display in the image display device 5, an open / closed state of a large winning opening, and a lighting state of various lamps. As shown in FIGS. 11-6 and 11-7 (a-1), when the combination of the decorative symbols constituting the jackpot is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game state is reached. At this stage, as shown in FIG. 11-7 (b-1), the large winning opening is closed. Further, in order to notify the player that a big hit has occurred, as shown in FIG. 11-7 (c-1), the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the speaker lamp 9eL, Various effect lamps 9 such as 9eR, the lower lamp 9f of the display device, and the general winning opening vicinity lamp 9g are turned on. In the illustrated example, the upper stage is the effect lamp 9 provided on the gaming machine frame 3, and the lower stage is the effect lamp 9 provided on the game board 2.

When it becomes a big hit, as shown in FIG. 11-6, a right-handed effect and a fanfare effect are performed to notify the player that the player should hit right until the predetermined period of the first round ends (Fig. 11-). Step 042AKS054) of step 5. The period from the jackpot shown in FIG. 11-6 to the start of the first R is a sufficiently longer period than the predetermined period. Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 11-7 (a-2), the effect image of the fanfare is displayed on the image display device 5, and at the same time, as shown in FIG. 11-7 (c-2). All effect lamps 9 are temporarily turned off. Then, the effect lamp 9 is turned on in the order of the lower left side, the upper left side, the central portion, the upper right side, and the lower right side, and the right-handed effect of displaying "right-handed" on the image display device is performed. The small right-handed display displayed in the upper right portion of the image display device 5 shown in FIG. 11-7 (a-2) may be continuously displayed during the big hit game state.

Specifically, in the right-handed effect, as shown in FIGS. 11-7 (a-3) to 11-10 (a-19), in the image display device 5, the “right-handed” image is superimposed on the fanfare image. The display continues. Therefore, the lighting order of the effect lamp 9 will be described below. When the right-handed effect is started, as shown in FIG. 11-7 (c-3), the general winning opening vicinity lamp 9g provided in the lower left of the game area is first lit, and then FIG. 11-7 (Fig. 11-7 (c-3). As shown in c-4), the lower left lamp 9bL1, which is the frame lamp 9 in the lower left portion, lights up. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11-7 (c-5), of the display device lower lamps 9f provided at the lower position of the image display device 5 on the game board 2, the left side display device lower lamp 9fL is lit, and then the left side display device lower lamp 9fL is turned on. As shown in FIG. 11-7 (c-6), the upper left lamp 9bL2, which is the frame lamp 9 in the upper left portion, lights up, and as shown in FIG. 11-8 (c-7), the speaker lamp corresponding to the speaker 8L portion. 9eL lights up. In this way, the effect lamps 9 are turned on in order from the lower left side to the upper left side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. As shown in FIG. 11-8 (b-7), since the large winning opening is closed, the launched game medium does not win the large winning opening at this stage. In the example shown in FIG. 11-8 (b-7), the launched game ball passes through the second path of the upper part of the grand prize opening door and is guided to the discharge path.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-8 (c-8), the movable body lamp 9d corresponding to the movable body 32 provided in the upper center portion of the game board 2 is turned on, and FIG. 11-8 (c-9). ), The main lamp 9 located above the image display device 5 in the gaming machine frame 3 is lit, so that the effect lamp 9 provided in the upper center portion of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is lit.

Next, the speaker lamp 9eR corresponding to the speaker 8R portion is turned on as shown in FIG. 11-8 (c-10), and then the frame lamp in the upper right portion is lit as shown in FIG. 11-8 (c-11). The upper right lamp 9bR2, which is 9, lights up, and as shown in FIG. 11-8 (c-12), the right display device of the display device lower lamp 9f provided at the lower position of the image display device 5 on the game board 2. The lower lamp 9fR lights up. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11-9 (c-13), the lower right lamp 9bR1 which is the frame lamp 9 in the lower right part is lit, and the attacker lamp 9c provided at a position near the special variable winning ball device 7 is lit. do. In this way, the effect lamps 9 are lit in order from the upper right side to the lower right side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a result, the effect lamp 9 lights up in order from the lower left side to the upper left side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the central part, and then from the upper right side to the lower right side, so that the effect lamp 9 hits the player right. Right-handed production will be performed to suggest. In this example, an example is shown in which both the effect lamp 9 provided on the gaming machine frame 3 and the effect lamp 9 provided on the game board 2 are used to suggest right-handed striking. It may be. Further, only the effect lamp 9 provided on the gaming machine frame 3 lights from the lower left side to the center and the lower right side, and only the effect lamp 9 provided on the game board 2 lights from the lower left side to the center and right. Both may be lit independently at the same time or with a time lag, such as lighting in the downward direction.

After the right-handed effect of the effect lamps 9 is completed, all the effect lamps 9 are turned off as shown in FIG. 11-9 (c-15). As shown in FIG. 11-9 (a-15), the right-handed display on the image display device 5 is continuously performed (the right-handed effect itself is being executed).

Next, when the opening timing of the large winning opening is reached as shown in FIG. 11-6, the first R is started, and the large winning opening is opened as shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-16). At this stage, right-handed display on the image display device 5 is continuously performed as shown in FIG. 11-10 (a-16), and is shown in FIG. 11-10 (c-16) until a predetermined period elapses. As such, all effect lamps 9 remain off (same until FIGS. 11-10 (a-19) and (c-19)). Even if all the effect lamps 9 are not turned off, any of the indexes such as luminous intensity, brightness, and illuminance may be set to be lower than usual. Further, as shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-16), even after the large winning opening is opened, until a predetermined period elapses, FIGS. 11-7 (c-3) to 11-9. As shown in (c-13), the effect lamps 9 may be turned on in sequence to suggest right-handed strikes. In this case, the lighting speed of each effect lamp may be faster than before the opening of the big winning opening (the lighting period may be shortened and the transition speed may be faster). Further, when the effect lamps 9 are sequentially turned on after the large winning opening is opened to suggest a right-handed strike, after the last lit attacker lamp 9c is turned on, it is shown in FIG. 11-9 (c-15). You may leave it on as it is without turning it off. According to this, the player can be made aware that the big winning opening is open.

Then, when the large winning opening is completely opened as shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-17), the count of 0.6 seconds as a predetermined period corresponding to the first R is started, and FIG. 11-10 When the game ball wins the large winning opening as shown in (b-18), the game ball is detected by the count switch 23, and the winning designation command is transmitted from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side. It should be noted that the large winning opening is also open for the game ball (early hit game ball) launched by performing the right-handed effect before the first R is started (before the large winning opening is opened). If it exists in the upper part of the large winning opening at the timing, it becomes possible to win a prize within a predetermined period corresponding to the first R. On the side of the effect control board 12, the winning sound is output as shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-18) by the processing of step 042AKS058 in FIG. 11-5, and the winning sound is output as shown in FIG. 11-10 (c-18). As shown in the above, the attacker lamp 9c is turned on in a manner of notifying that the prize has been won. As described above, the light emission of the attacker lamp 9c is emitted in a manner larger than the number of light emission per unit time of the game effect lamps 9 other than the attacker lamp 9c, which emits light in, for example, the big hit medium effect. In the example shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-18), the launched game ball passes through the first path, which is the path in the direction of the big winning opening, and is guided to the winning path provided with the count switch 23. An example is shown. The special variable winning ball device 7 is configured such that the time until the game ball existing in the large winning opening door portion is detected by the count switch 23 is 0.6 seconds or less, which is a predetermined period. Therefore, it is possible to increase the possibility that the game ball existing in the upper part of the large winning opening is detected by the count switch 23 within a predetermined period from the opening of the large winning opening, and the player's interest in the game is reduced without giving anxiety to the player. Can be prevented.

After the game ball has won the big prize opening as shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-18), or after the state shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-17) has not been won, time has passed, and FIG. 11- When the predetermined period elapses as shown in 10 (a-19), (b-19) and (c-19), as shown in FIG. 11-6, the number of rounds corresponding to the 1st R is displayed and the jackpot medium effect is produced. Since it is the execution timing and the execution timing of the acquisition number display, the process of step 042AKS061 in FIG. 11-5 is executed.

Specifically, when the game ball wins the large winning opening before the lapse of a predetermined period as shown in FIG. 11-10 (b-18), as shown in FIG. 11-11 (a-20), the first The number of rounds of "1R" indicating that it is one round is displayed, and the count-up display is performed. Further, at the same timing as these displays, as a big hit middle effect (1st R middle effect), as shown in FIG. 11-11 (a-20), a decorative pattern constituting the big hit is displayed and "BOUNUS" is displayed. , And the character are displayed. It should be noted that the decorative symbols constituting the jackpot and the display of "during BOUNUS" displayed as the jackpot middle production (1st R middle production) are not shown (the same applies to FIGS. 11-20 described later). It is displayed in a manner suggesting that it should be right-handed as shown in 11-21. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A-1), when a fanfare or a right-handed effect is performed and a predetermined period elapses after the big winning opening is opened, the big hit medium effect is shown in FIG. 11-21. As shown in (A-2), the design of "7", which is a decorative design constituting the jackpot, is displayed in a front-facing manner, and is displayed above "B" in the "BOUNUS" display. A star-shaped image is displayed. Next, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A-3), the design of "7", which is a decorative design constituting the jackpot, is tilted toward the right back, and "in BOUNUS" is displayed. The star-shaped image shifts to the upper part of "O". Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A-4), the design of "7", which is a decorative design constituting the jackpot, faces the front, and a star is placed above the "N" in the "BOUNUS" display. The shape image shifts. After that, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A-5), the design of "7", which is a decorative design constituting the jackpot, is inclined toward the left back direction, and "U" in the display of "BOUNUS" is displayed. The star-shaped image shifts to the top of. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A-6), the symbol "7", which is the decorative symbol constituting the jackpot again, faces the front, and the star is above the "S" in the "BOUNUUS" display. The image of the shape shifts and returns to FIG. 11-21 (A-2). In this way, in the big hit medium production, the decorative patterns that make up the big hit are operated in the right back direction, the front, and the left back direction, and a star-shaped image is displayed from the left character of the "BOUNUS middle" display to the right. It suggests to the player that he should hit right by shifting. The operation display of the decorative pattern that composes the jackpot and the transition display of the star-shaped image are called effect display. In addition to this, for example, a predetermined image is rotated clockwise or the character is gradually displayed. Includes indications such as pointing to the right. That is, the effect display may be displayed in a manner suggesting right-handed striking. According to this, it is suggested that the right-handed hit should be made by the effect display, and the right-handed hit can be easily recognized.

In the jackpot effect, as shown in FIG. 11-11 (c-20), the effect lamp 9 lights up according to a light emission pattern preset according to the jackpot effect. In this example, it is assumed that a light emitting pattern is set in which the effect lamp 9 provided on the gaming machine frame 3 and the effect lamp 9 provided on the game board 2 are alternately lit. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-11 (a-21), "0015" is displayed as the acquired number display. In this way, as shown in FIGS. 11-9 (c-16) to (c-19), the effect lamp 9 is not emitted until the large winning opening is opened and a predetermined period elapses, and FIG. 11 As shown in -11 (c-20) and (c-22), the effect lamp 9 is made to emit light after the display of the number of acquisitions after the lapse of a predetermined period is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the early hitting by the player and promote the firing timing.

On the other hand, when the predetermined period elapses without the game ball winning the big prize opening, as shown in FIG. 11-11 (a-22), the count-up display is not performed and the number of acquisitions is displayed as "0000". Is displayed. In addition, the point that the number of rounds of "1R" indicating that it is one round is displayed, and as the big hit middle production (1st R middle production), the decorative symbols constituting the big hit are displayed, "BOUNUS" is displayed, and The point that the character is displayed and the point that the effect lamp 9 lights up according to the light emission pattern set in advance according to the effect during the big hit are common regardless of whether or not a prize is won.

Next, as time elapses, as shown in FIG. 11-12 (b-23), when the tenth game ball wins the big winning opening in the first R, the upper limit at which the big winning opening can be opened. It will be a period. Along with the winning, the process of step 042AKS064 shown in FIG. 11-5 is executed, the count-up display is performed as shown in FIG. 11-12 (a-23), and FIG. 11-12 (a-24). As shown in the above, the number of acquired "0150" is displayed. Further, along with the winning, a winning sound is output as shown in FIG. 11-12 (b-23), and in addition to lighting the effect lamp 9 corresponding to the effect during the big hit, FIG. 11-12 (c-23). ), The attacker lamp 9c lights up in a manner of notifying that a prize has been won. It should be noted that the upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened is a sufficient period even if it is counted after the lapse of a predetermined period for 10 game balls to win a prize. Specifically, the upper limit period is 29.5 seconds after opening, and is 28.9 seconds even after the elapse of a predetermined period. Since the continuous firing interval is 0.6 seconds, 10 prizes are sufficiently possible. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of security because sufficient time is secured for winning.

When the 10th game ball wins the big prize opening in the 1st R, the maximum period during which the big winning opening can be opened is reached. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11-12 (b-24), the large winning opening is opened. It is controlled to be closed. After that, during the period until the second R shown in FIG. 11-6 is started, the large winning opening is controlled to be completely closed as shown in FIG. 11-12 (b-25). On the other hand, until the predetermined period of the second R elapses (from the time when n = 2 until the predetermined period elapses), as shown in FIG. 11-12 (a-25), the number of rounds corresponding to the first R is displayed. , The big hit production is continuously performed (the number of acquisitions is updated and displayed according to the winning), and the effect lamp 9 corresponds to the big hit production as shown in FIG. 11-12 (c-25). Lights up.

In the 1st R, when the 10th game ball wins the big winning opening and the upper limit period is reached, the big winning opening is controlled to be closed. At this time, the 11th game ball is controlled. In some cases, a so-called over-winning may occur in which the player wins a prize in the large winning opening following the tenth game ball. Even in the over-winning, the count-up display is performed as shown in FIG. 11-12 (a-23), and the number of acquired "0165" may be displayed. In this case, after the count-up display and the number of winnings are displayed according to the tenth prize, the count-up display and the number of winnings corresponding to the over-winning are displayed, but FIG. 11-12 (b-25). As shown in the above, the count-up display and the number of winnings display corresponding to the over-winning are completed within the period from the time when the large winning opening is completely closed to the time before the opening state corresponding to the second R is reached. Therefore, it is easy for the player to recognize that the over-winning has occurred in the first round, and the game interest can be improved. In addition, since the update of the number of acquisitions display in the opening corresponding to the first round does not overlap with the update of the number of acquisitions in the opening corresponding to the second round, it is possible to determine which prize will be awarded corresponding to the opening of the round. It will be easy. Further, the winning sound corresponding to the over winning sound may be a sound different from the normal winning sound (over winning sound). In this case, when the winning value exceeds the upper limit value "10", the over winning sound may be output. Further, the attacker lamp 9c may also emit light in a mode corresponding to over-winning, unlike the light emission in the normal winning mode.

Then, corresponding to the second round, the timing is such that the large winning opening is opened again as shown in FIG. 11-6, and the large winning opening is opened again as shown in FIG. 11-13 (b-26). Is controlled to be. At this time, Yes is determined in step 042AKS065 of FIG. 11-5, that is, a command indicating the start of the n + 1R is received, and the process of 042AKS066 is executed, so that n = 2. Become. At this stage, since the process of step 042AKS055 in FIG. 11-5 is executed, as shown in FIGS. 11-13 (a-26) and (c-26), the big hit medium effect and the number of rounds corresponding to the first R The display is made (see also FIG. 11-6).

Next, when the big winning opening is completely opened and the game ball wins the big winning opening as shown in FIG. 11-13 (b-27), the step in FIG. 11-5 is different from that in the first round. In the process of 042AKS060, the count-up display is performed as shown in FIG. 11-13 (a-27), and the number of acquired "0165" is displayed as shown in FIG. 11-13 (a-28). Further, along with the winning, a winning sound is output as shown in FIG. 11-13 (b-27), and in addition to lighting the effect lamp 9 corresponding to the effect during the big hit, FIG. 11-13 (c-27). ), The attacker lamp 9c lights up. As described above, in the rounds other than the 1st R, the number of winnings is updated and displayed during the predetermined period even if the prize is won during the predetermined period. Then, when the predetermined period of the second R elapses, the process of step 042AKS061 of FIG. 11-5 is executed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11-14 (a-30), "2R" indicating that the second round is performed. The number of rounds is displayed, and the big hit middle production corresponding to the 2nd R is executed. In this case, the number of "1" in the round number display of "1R" which is the first round is changed to "2". That is, "R" is continuously displayed from the first round. Further, the display of "1R" is continuously displayed until the predetermined period of the second R elapses. Further, in the feature unit 042AK of this embodiment, an example of executing a common big hit medium effect regardless of the number of rounds (the same applies to the lighting control of the effect effect lamp 9) is shown, but it is executed in each round. The production during the big hit may be different. The same applies to the lighting of the effect lamp 9. In this way, since the large winning opening is opened before the number of rounds indicating that it is the second round is displayed, the player's game ball that has been continuously fired from the first round is released at an early stage. You can win a prize in the big prize opening. Therefore, in each round of the plurality of round games, it is possible to increase the possibility that the game balls fired in succession are won in the large winning opening opened earlier than the round display.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-13 (a-26), (b-26), and (c-26), the large winning opening is controlled to be open corresponding to the second R, and FIG. 11-13 (a-29). ), (B-29), and (c-29) show that when a predetermined period has passed without the game ball winning after the large winning opening is completely opened, FIG. 11-14 (a-31). ), (B-31), and (c-31), the number of acquisitions acquired in the first R is continuously displayed as it is. After that, the same processing is performed until the final round determined in advance, and when it is determined that the hit end designation command has been received in step 042AKS051 of FIG. Set to end. In this way, for the second and subsequent rounds, if the prize is not won during the predetermined period, the number of winnings displayed in the previous round is continuously displayed, while the prize is won during the predetermined period. Is displayed by adding the number of acquired balls to the number of acquired balls displayed in the previous round. Therefore, even after the second round, it is possible to easily recognize the winning of the big winning opening.

For example, in the final round, when the 10th game ball wins the big winning opening and the upper limit period is reached, the big winning opening is controlled to be closed. At this time, the 11th game is played. As shown in FIG. 11-15, the big hit game state may end while the ball is sandwiched between the special variable winning ball device 7 (more specifically, between the big winning door and the glass door frame 3a). .. In this case, at the start of the 1st R in the case of the next big hit (when the big winning opening corresponding to the 1st R is opened), the game ball will win the big winning opening, and during the predetermined period of the 1st R A game ball wins. Also in this case, as shown in FIG. 11-10 (c-18), the attacker lamp 9c is turned on in a manner of notifying that the winner has been won, and after the lapse of the predetermined period, FIGS. 11-11 (a-20) and FIG. As shown in (a-21), after performing the count-up display, "0015" may be displayed as the acquired number display. Further, in such a case, there is a possibility that the launched game ball will further win a prize during the predetermined period (the second ball may win a prize), and in that case, after the predetermined period elapses, FIG. 11-11 ( As shown in a-20) and (a-21), after the count-up display is performed, "0030" may be directly displayed without displaying "0000" or "0015" as the acquisition number display. According to this, it is possible to give the player unexpectedness and improve the game entertainment.

When the imparted amount display is not displayed, the predetermined light emitting means is made to emit light in a light emitting pattern corresponding to the operation promotion display while the specific light emitting means is made to emit light, and the given amount display after the elapse of the predetermined period is displayed. When there is, the specific light emitting means and the predetermined light emitting means are made to emit light in a light emitting pattern corresponding to the round game (for example, after the large winning opening is opened, until a predetermined period elapses, FIG. 11-7 (c-3). )-As shown in FIGS. 11-9 (c-13), the effect lamps 9 are sequentially turned on to suggest right-handed strikes, and after a predetermined period of time, for example, FIGS. 11-11 (c-20) and (c). As shown in -21), the effect lamps 9 provided on the double-game machine frame 3 and the effect lamps 9 provided on the game board 2 were alternately turned on, and the large winning opening was opened. Later, when the effect lamps 9 are turned on in sequence to suggest a right-handed strike, after the attacker lamp 9c that is turned on last is turned on, the lamps are not turned off as shown in FIG. 11-9 (c-15), and are left as they are. Etc.), you may do so.

According to this configuration, the operation can be promoted by using the predetermined light emitting means, and the player can be made aware that the variable winning means is in the first state.

(3) In the gaming machine according to (1) or (2) above, in the round game, one of the round games is completed by winning a specific number of game media, and the game shifts to the next round game. (For example, the maximum period during which the large winning opening can be opened by winning 10 gaming balls is reached.) The time from the lapse of the predetermined period until the variable winning means is in the second state is It is a sufficient time for the gaming medium to win the specified number (for example, for the upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened, it is sufficient to count after a predetermined period for 10 gaming balls to win a prize. (For example, during a long period of time).

According to this configuration, a sufficient time is secured for winning, so that the player can feel reassured.

(4) In the gaming machine according to (1) above, in the round game, one round game is completed when a specific number of game media wins a prize, and the game shifts to the next round game (for example, 10 machines). The game medium is the time from the lapse of the predetermined period until the variable winning means is in the second state. It is a sufficient time for a specific number of prizes to be won (for example, the upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened is a sufficient period even if it is counted after the lapse of a predetermined period for 10 game balls to win a prize. Etc.), when the variable winning means is in the first state, when the grant amount display before the lapse of the predetermined period is not displayed, the light emission of the light emitting means is restricted, and the grant after the lapse of the predetermined period is performed. After the amount display is displayed, the light emitting means is made to emit light (for example, until the large winning opening is opened and a predetermined period elapses, that is, until the number of winnings is displayed, FIGS. 11-9 (c-16) to ( As shown in c-19), the effect lamp 9 is not emitted, and as shown in FIGS. 11-11 (c-20) and (c-22), the number of acquisitions after the lapse of a predetermined period is displayed. (For example, the effect lamp 9 is made to emit light).

According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from hitting quickly and promote the firing timing.

(5) In the gaming machine according to (4) above, the gaming machine is controlled to the advantageous state, and is controlled to the advantageous state until the variable winning means changes from the second state to the first state. It is possible to execute a suggestion effect that suggests (for example, it is possible to execute a fanfare effect), and a round game that can identify the round game being executed at the same time as the display of the grant amount display is started after the lapse of the predetermined period. It is possible to execute the display and the effect during the round corresponding to the round game (for example, the number of rounds is displayed, the number of acquisitions is displayed, and the effect during the jackpot is performed after a predetermined period of time), which is the same as the execution timing of the effect during the round. The light emitting means is made to emit light at the timing (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-11 (c-20) and (c-22), the effect effect lamp 9 is made to emit light at the same timing as the execution timing of the effect during the big hit). , You may do so.

According to this configuration, the production can be excited at once at the timing when the production is executed during the round, and the game entertainment can be improved.

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (5) above, a general winning means (for example, a general winning opening 10) capable of winning a prize in a game medium is further provided, and the display means is described as described above. It is possible to display the amount of the game value given by the game medium winning the general winning means as the given amount display (for example, the winning number display is displayed in response to the winning of the general winning opening 10). If the gaming medium does not win the general winning means within the predetermined period, a predetermined display corresponding to the fact that the gaming value is not given is displayed as the grant amount display after the lapse of the predetermined period (such as). For example, if the game ball does not win in the general winning opening 10 during the predetermined period, "0000" is displayed as a predetermined display indicating that the prize ball has not been given), and the game medium is displayed within the predetermined period. When a prize is won in the general prize-winning means, a display corresponding to the prize in the general prize-winning means is displayed as the grant amount display after the lapse of the predetermined period (for example, during a predetermined period after the large winning opening is opened. When a game ball wins in the general winning opening 10, after the lapse of the predetermined period, "0003" is displayed as the number of winnings in response to the winning in the general winning opening 10). May be good.

According to this configuration, even when the general winning means is won during the predetermined period, the display corresponding to the winning of the general winning means is displayed, so that it is possible to prevent the player from being anxious.

(7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (6) above, the variable winning means is provided in a predetermined area in a gaming area (for example, a special variable winning ball device 7 is placed in a gaming area on the right side). The display means can display a first image (for example, a decorative pattern constituting a jackpot) at the same timing as the imparted amount display, and the first image is in the advantageous state. The effect is displayed at the same timing as the imparted amount display (for example, the effect display for operating the decorative symbol constituting the jackpot is performed), and the effect display is displayed in a manner suggesting the predetermined area (for example, the effect display). The decorative pattern constituting the jackpot may be moved in the right-back direction, the front, and the left-back direction to be displayed in a manner suggesting right-handed hitting).

According to this configuration, the effect display suggests a game area to be fired, and it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the game area to be fired.

(Explanation of First Form of Feature 20SH)
Next, the gaming machine according to the first embodiment of the feature unit 20SH will be described with reference to FIGS. 12-1 to 12-4. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 relating to the first aspect of the feature unit 20SH, the number of prize balls awarded in the jackpot game state is displayed, and the number of prize balls granted in the jackpot game state has reached a predetermined number. It is possible to display the acquisition number notification display and. The characters used in the acquired number display and the acquired number notification display include specific characters in which a specific area surrounded by lines forming the characters is formed. As for the specific characters used for displaying the acquired number, the background image during the big hit is invisible from the specific area. As for the specific characters used in the acquired number notification display, the background image during the big hit can be visually recognized from the specific area.

Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine 1 relating to the first form of the feature unit 20SH having such features will be described. The description of the same parts as those described above will be omitted.

(Background technology related to the first form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-1 is a diagram showing a background technique related to the first form of the feature portion 20SH.

When the pachinko gaming machine is controlled to the jackpot gaming state, as shown in FIG. 12-1 (A), the pachinko gaming machine may display the number of winnings displayed with respect to the number of prize balls given in the jackpot gaming state. In the example shown in FIG. 12-1 (A), the number of acquired balls is displayed as "point 120" corresponding to the number of acquired balls being 120.

In the winning number display, a number for displaying the number of prize balls and a character other than the number for recognizing that the winning number is displayed are used. The numbers used to display the number of acquisitions are, for example, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and the like. In the display of the number of acquisitions shown in FIG. 12-1 (A), the characters "point" for recognizing that the display is the number of acquisitions and the number "120" for displaying the number of prize balls are displayed. It is used.

Among the characters used to display the number of acquisitions, there are characters in which a specific area is formed. Here, the specific area is an area surrounded by a line forming a character and does not lead to an area outside the line forming the character. Here, "not connected to the area outside the line forming the character" means that the "specific area" is completely isolated from the "area outside the line forming the character" by the "line forming the character". And when the "specific area" is not completely separated from the "area outside the line that forms the character" by the "line that forms the character", but at first glance it appears to be a different area. ,including. In the following description, a character in which a specific area is formed is referred to as a "specific character".

For example, in the case of Arabic numerals, "0", "4", "6", "8", and "9" correspond to specific characters. That is, in the case of Arabic numerals "0", "6", "8", and "9", a substantially circular area surrounded by a curve forming a character is a specific area. The Arabic numeral "8" forms two specific regions. In the case of the Arabic numeral "4", the triangular area surrounded by the three straight lines forming the character is the specific area.

Further, when the pachinko gaming machine is controlled to the jackpot gaming state, as shown in FIG. 12-1 (A), the pachinko gaming machine displays the jackpot medium background image related to the jackpot gaming state in the entire display area of the image display device. do. In the example shown in FIG. 12-1 (A), a background image during a big hit in which a "butterfly" is flying is displayed. The big hit medium background image is an image displayed on the back side of the other displays displayed on the image display device in the big hit game state. The background image during the jackpot contains many lines expressing animation pictures and effects.

The acquired number display is displayed small in the edge area in the display area of the image display device, which does not impair the visibility of the background image during the big hit. If the big hit medium background image changes over time, the line of the big hit medium background image may overlap the back of the acquired number display. Then, when a specific character is displayed on the acquired number display, a big hit is made on the back of the specific area of the specific character as shown by the "0" part of the Arabic numeral surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 12-1 (A). When the lines of the middle background image overlap, the lines of the big hit middle background image may be assimilated with the lines forming the specific characters, and the specific characters may appear different from the original characters.

FIG. 12-1 (B) is an enlarged view of the portion of the Arabic numeral “0” surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 12-1 (A). In the examples shown in FIGS. 12-1 (A) and 12-1 (B), the line of "Chou" in the background image of the jackpot overlaps the back of the specific area of the specific character "0" used for displaying the number of acquisitions. The line of "Chou" in the background image during the big hit is assimilated with the line forming the specific character "0", and the specific character "0" looks like the Arabic numeral "8" instead of the Arabic numeral "0".

In this way, if the character of the acquired number display is mistaken for a character different from the original character, the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state cannot be accurately recognized. However, for example, it is difficult to adjust the position of the line included in the big hit medium background image so that the line of the big hit medium background image does not overlap the specific area of the specific character.

The first form of the feature portion 20SH is made in view of such a background. Hereinafter, the first form of the feature unit 20SH will be described.

(Display of the number of acquisitions in the first form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-2 (A) is a diagram showing an example of an Arabic numeral display mode used for displaying the number of acquisitions in the first embodiment of the feature unit 20SH.

In the first form of the feature unit 20SH, among the Arabic numerals used for displaying the number of acquisitions, the specific area 20SHI1 of "0", "4", "6", "8", and "9" corresponding to the specific character is , It is a non-transparent display mode, and is displayed in a display mode different from the display mode of the line 20SHS1 forming characters. In the example shown in FIG. 12-2 (A), the color of the Arabic numeral line 20SHS1 used for displaying the number of acquisitions is "black", whereas "0", "4", and "6" corresponding to specific characters are used. , "8", "9", the specific area 20SHI1 is displayed in "white".

Further, the display mode of the specific area 20SHI1 is not limited to a color different from the color of the line 20SHS1 forming the character, and the character is displayed to such an extent that the specific area 20SHI1 and the line 20SHS1 forming the character can be accurately distinguished. Any display mode may be used as long as it has a high contrast with respect to the display mode of the line 20SHS1 to be formed.

For example, the color of the specific region 20SHI1 may be a color having a high contrast with the color of the line 20SHS1 forming the character. In that case, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI1 may be such that the contrast is low with respect to the brightness of the line 20SHS1 forming the characters. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific region 20SHI1 may have a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the character. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific area 20SHI1 may be a texture having a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the character.

Further, for example, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI1 may have a high contrast with the brightness of the line 20SHS1 forming the characters. In that case, the color of the specific region 20SHI1 may be a color having a low contrast with the color of the line 20SHS1 forming the character. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific region 20SHI1 may have a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the character. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific area 20SHI1 may be a texture having a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the character.

Further, for example, the texture of the specific region 20SHI1 may have a high contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the characters. In that case, the color of the specific region 20SHI1 may be a color having a low contrast with the color of the line 20SHS1 forming the character. Further, in that case, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI1 may be such that the contrast is low with respect to the brightness of the line 20SHS1 forming the characters. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific area 20SHI1 may be a texture having a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the character.

Further, for example, the texture of the specific area 20SHI1 may be a texture having a high contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the character. In that case, the color of the specific region 20SHI1 may be a color having a low contrast with the color of the line 20SHS1 forming the character. Further, in that case, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI1 may be such that the contrast is low with respect to the brightness of the line 20SHS1 forming the characters. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific region 20SHI1 may have a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS1 forming the character.

Among the characters used to display the number of winnings, the numbers other than Arabic numerals for displaying the number of prize balls and the specific characters among the characters other than the numbers for recognizing that the number of winnings is displayed are also shown in Fig. 12-. Like the Arabic numerals shown in 2 (A), the specific area is displayed in a non-transparent display mode, which is different from the display mode of the lines forming the characters.

(Display of acquired number notification in the first form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-2 (A) is a diagram showing an example of an Arabic numeral display mode used for the acquisition number notification display in the first embodiment of the feature unit 20SH.

When the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state reaches a predetermined number, the pachinko gaming machine 1 displays an acquisition number notification display for notifying that fact.

Here, the time saving control and the probability variation control executed after the end of the jackpot game state are the jackpot game states before the predetermined number of special figure games are executed or the predetermined number of special figure games are executed. However, for example, the number of time reduction control and probability variation control may be different for each jackpot type, and in the case of a specific jackpot type, the high amount executed after the jackpot game state ends. The certainty control and the time saving control may be continuously executed after the end of the big hit game state until the big hit occurs again. In such a case, the jackpot game state is continuously generated without going through the normal state, which is a so-called consecutive villa state.

When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the consecutive villa state, when the number of prize balls given in the multiple big hit game states in the consecutive villa state reaches a predetermined number, the pachinko gaming machine 1 displays an acquisition number notification display for notifying that fact. do.

In the acquisition number notification display, when the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state is reached, a number other than a number for displaying the predetermined number and a character other than the number for recognizing that the acquisition number notification display is used. And are used. The numbers used for displaying the number of acquisitions are, for example, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and the like.

Among the characters used for the acquisition number notification display, there are characters that correspond to specific characters. In the first embodiment of the feature unit 20SH, as shown in FIG. 12-2 (B), the specific area of the specific character used for the acquisition number notification display is displayed in a transparent display mode. In the example shown in FIG. 12-2 (B), among the Arabic numerals used for the acquisition number notification display, identification of "0", "4", "6", "8", and "9" corresponding to specific characters Region 20SHI2 is displayed in a transparent display mode.

Among the characters used for the acquisition number notification display, when the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state reaches, it is a number other than the Arabic numeral for displaying the predetermined number, or the acquisition number notification display. As for the specific characters among the characters other than the numbers to be recognized, the specific area is displayed in a transparent display mode as in the Arabic numerals shown in FIG. 12-2 (B).

(How to see the acquired number display in the first form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-3 (A) is a diagram showing how the acquisition number display in the first form of the feature unit 20SH is displayed. FIG. 12-3 (B) is an enlarged view of the portion of the Arabic numeral “0” surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 12-1 (A).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 12-3 (A) and 12-3 (B), the "butterfly" line of the big hit medium background image overlaps the back of the specific area of the specific character "0" used in the acquired number display 20SHK. However, since the specific area 20SHI1 is displayed in "white", the background image during the jackpot cannot be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI1. Therefore, in the specific area 20SHI1, the line 20SHHS of the "butterfly" in the background image during the big hit is not assimilated with the line 20SHS1 forming the specific character "0", and the specific character "0" is accurately regarded as the Arabic numeral "0". Can be recognized.

In addition to the acquired number display 20SHK, the image display device 5 has a jackpot display 20SHO for recognizing that the jackpot game state is controlled, and a jackpot combination displayed when the jackpot game state is controlled. The decorative symbol display 20SHZ indicating the fixed decorative symbol, the round number display 20SHR indicating the number of rounds of the round game in the jackpot game state, and the right-handed display 20SHM suggesting that the player should hit right are displayed. Has been done. The jackpot display 20SHO, the decorative pattern display 20SHZ, the round number display 20SHR, and the right-handed display 20SHM are also located in the edge area in the display area of the image display device 5 that does not impair the visibility of the background image during the jackpot, as in the acquisition number display 20SHK. It is displayed small.

The characters used for the jackpot display 20SHO, the decorative pattern display 20SHZ, the round number display 20SHR, and the right-handed display 20SHM are the same types of characters as those used for the acquisition number display 20SHK and the acquisition number notification display, and the acquisition number display 20SHK and the acquisition number display. Characters of a type different from the characters used for the numerical notification display may be included. In this embodiment, "number" and "katakana" are used as the characters of the acquired number display 20SHK and the acquired number notification display 20SHKH as shown in FIG. 12-4. On the other hand, in the jackpot display 20SHO, "alphabet" and "kanji", which are different types of characters from the characters used for the acquired number display 20SHK and the acquired number notification display, are used. Further, in the decorative pattern display 20SHZ, "number" which is the same kind of character as the character used for the acquired number display 20SHK and the acquired number notification display is used. Further, the round number display 20SHR is different from the characters used for the acquisition number display 20SHK and the acquisition number notification display, which are the same type of characters as the characters used for the acquisition number display 20SHK and the acquisition number notification display. "Alphabet", which is a kind of character, is used. Further, in the right-handed display 20SHM, "Kanji", "Hiragana", and "Symbol", which are different types of characters from the characters used for the acquired number display 20SHK and the acquired number notification display, are used.

Among the characters used for the jackpot display 20SHO, the decorative pattern display 20SHZ, the round number display 20SHR, and the right-handed display 20SHM, there are characters corresponding to specific characters regardless of the type of the characters. The specific area of the specific character used for the jackpot display 20SHO, the decorative pattern display 20SHZ, the round number display 20SHR, and the right-handed display 20SHM is also a non-transparent display mode and the characters are displayed in the same manner as the specific area 20SHI1 of the acquired number display 20SHK. Since the line 20SHS1 to be formed is displayed in a display mode different from the display mode, the background image during the jackpot cannot be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI1.

(Example of production operation of acquisition number display and acquisition number notification display in the first form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-4 is a diagram showing an example of an effect operation of the acquisition number display and the acquisition number notification display.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12-4 (A), the display area of the image display device 5 is a region around the first display area 20SH51 and the first display area 20SH51, and is the first display area. Various displays are performed by distinguishing the second display area 20SH 52, which is narrower than the 20SH 51. In the example shown in FIG. 12-4 (A), the region inside the alternate long and short dash line is the first display area 20SH51, and the region outside the alternate long and short dash line is the second display area 20SH52.

As shown in FIG. 12-4 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays a big hit medium background image in the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52 of the image display device 5. Further, the effect control CPU 120 displays the acquired number display 20SHK on the front side of the big hit medium background image in the second display area 20SH52 of the image display device 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 12-4 (A), a jackpot display, a decorative symbol display, a round number display, and a right-handed display are also displayed in the second display area 20SH52.

Here, as described above, in this embodiment, when the game balls enter the large winning opening, 15 game balls are paid out as prize balls. In FIG. 12-4 (A), since the acquired number display 20SHK with "point 990" is displayed, it can be recognized that 990 game balls have been paid out as prize balls in the jackpot game state. can. The effect control CPU 120 updates the number of the acquired number display 20SHK every time the game ball is paid out in the big hit game state.

In such a situation, it is assumed that a game ball enters the large prize opening and 15 game balls are paid out as prize balls.

As shown in FIGS. 12-4 (B) to (G), the effect control CPU 120 displays the number of acquired numbers 20SHK from "990" in response to the 15 game balls being paid out. Count up to "1005" one by one. In that case, the number of the acquired number display 20SHK goes through the so-called "Kiriban", which is a good number of "1000". In other words, the number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state has reached "1000".

Here, the effect control CPU 120 displays the acquisition number notification display every time "1000" game balls are paid out in the big hit game state. For example, the effect control CPU 120 displays an acquisition number notification display of "1000 over" when the number of prize balls in the jackpot game state reaches "1000", and the number of prize balls in the jackpot game state is "2000". Is displayed, the acquisition number notification display of "2000 over" is displayed.

When the number of the acquired number display 20SHK becomes “1000” of Kiriban, the effect control CPU 120 notifies the acquired number to the right end of the display area of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 12-4 (D). Display 20 A part of SHKH is displayed. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12-4 (E) to (G), the effect control CPU 120 is displayed in each frame of the image while the number of the acquired number display 20SHK changes from "1000" to "1005". The display position of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is moved from the right end of the display area of the image display device 5 toward the center of the first display area 20SH51. Then, when the number of the acquired number display 20SHK becomes "1005", the effect control CPU 120 has the acquired number in the center of the first display area 20SH51 of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 12-4 (G). Notification display 20 SHKH is stopped and displayed. At this time, the acquired number notification display 20SHKH may be displayed at least in the first display area 20SH51, and may be displayed across the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52.

By such display control, the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is displayed so as to frame in from the outside to the inside of the display area of the image display device 5.

Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the display of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is started, the effect control CPU 120 ends the display of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH. In the example shown in FIG. 12-4 (H), the effect control CPU 120 displays the display position of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH displayed in each frame of the video from the center of the first display area 20SH51 of the image display device 5. Move towards the left edge of the area.

By such display control, the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is displayed so as to frame out from the inside to the outside of the display area of the image display device 5, and the display is displayed because it is no longer displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. finish.

The effect control CPU 120 considers that the display of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is started by displaying a part of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH when the number of the acquired number display 20SHK becomes "Kiriban", and from that timing. When the predetermined period elapses, the display control for ending the display of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH may be performed. Further, the effect control CPU 120 considers that the display of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is started by stopping and displaying the acquired number notification display 20SHKH in the first display area 20SH51 of the image display device 5, and a predetermined period from that timing. The display control for ending the display of the acquired number notification display 20SHKH may be performed when the above has elapsed.

As described above, the specific area of the specific character used in the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is displayed in a transparent display mode. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 12-4 (E) to 12-4 (H), the big hit medium background image can be visually recognized from the specific area of the specific character used in the acquired number notification display 20SHKH. For example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 12-4 (E) to 12-4 (H), the background image during the jackpot is visible from the specific area of the Arabic numeral "0", which is a specific character used in the acquired number notification display 20SHKH.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 12-4 (D) to (H), the characters used in the acquired number notification display 20SHK are characters having a size larger than the characters used in the acquired number display 20SHK.

The effect mode when the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is stopped and displayed in the first display area 20SH 51 is not limited to the mode in which the acquired number notification display 20SHKH is framed in, stopped, and then framed out. For example, instead of the effect of frame-in the acquired number notification display 20SHKH, the acquired number notification display 20SHKH may be produced so as to pop out from the back side to the front side of the screen, or the acquired number notification display 20SHKH gradually emerges.

(Explanation of Third Form of Feature 20SH)
Next, the gaming machine according to the third form of the feature unit 20SH will be described with reference to FIGS. 12-8 to 12-11. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 relating to the third aspect of the feature unit 20SH, the ending background image of the specific characters used for the result display can be visually recognized from the specific area.

Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine 1 relating to the third form of the feature unit 20SH having such features will be described. The description of the same parts as those described above will be omitted.

(Arabic numerals used for result display)
FIG. 12-8 is a diagram showing an example of an Arabic numeral display mode used for the result display in the third form of the feature portion 20SH.

When the round game of the final round is completed, the pachinko gaming machine 1 executes an ending effect corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. At this time, the image display device 5 displays the ending background image. Further, the image display device 5 displays a result display for notifying the total number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state when displaying the ending background image.

In the result display, a number for displaying the total number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state and a character other than the number for recognizing the result display are used. The numbers used for the result display are, for example, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, Chinese numerals and the like.

Among the characters used for result display, there are characters that correspond to specific characters. In the third form of the feature unit 20SH, as shown in FIG. 12-8, the specific area of the specific character used for the result display is displayed in a transparent display mode. In the example shown in FIG. 12-8, among the Arabic numerals used for the result display, the specific area 20SHI5 of "0", "4", "6", "8", and "9" corresponding to the specific character is transparent. It is displayed in the display mode of.

Among the characters used for the result display, the numbers other than the Arabic numerals for displaying the total number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state and the characters other than the numbers for recognizing the result display are also shown in FIG. Specific areas are displayed in a transparent display mode, such as the Arabic numerals shown in −8.

(Various productions in the jackpot game state)
FIG. 12-9 is a diagram showing an example of the production period of various effects in the jackpot game state. FIG. 12-10 is a diagram showing an example of production operation of various effects in the jackpot game state.

When the hold information is stored in the jackpot game state, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the hold in-house consecutive villa notice suggesting that the hold information is controlled to the jackpot game state in response to the stored hold information. be. For example, in the case of a big hit game state of all 10 rounds, the effect control CPU 120 finishes the 9 round round game as shown in FIGS. 12-9 and 12-10 (A) to 12-10 (B). At the timing T1 when the round game of 10 rounds, which is a round, is started, the notice of the pending Uchirenso will be started.

When the notice of the consecutive villas on hold is executed, the second display area 20SH52 of the image display device 5 corresponds to the progress of the round game in the jackpot game state as shown in FIG. 12-10 (B). On the front side of the background image during the big hit, the effect image of the notice of the pending villa is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 12-10 (B), the effect image 20SH of "flame" is displayed as the effect image of the notice of the consecutive villas on hold.

Here, in the example shown in FIG. 12-10 (B), the "flame" line of the effect image overlaps the back side of the specific area of the specific character "0" used in the acquired number display 20SHK. Since the specific area is displayed in "white", the effect image cannot be visually recognized from the specific area. Therefore, the line of "flame" in the effect image is not assimilated with the line forming the specific character "0" in the specific area, and the specific character "0" can be accurately recognized as the Arabic numeral "0". ..

Then, as shown in FIGS. 12-9 and 12-10 (B) to (C), at the timing T2 when the round game of the final round is finished and the ending effect is started, the effect control CPU 120 is on hold. End the notice of the consecutive villas and start the ending production. When the ending effect is started, the display of the ending background image is started at a predetermined brightness in the first display area 20SH51 of the image display device 5. In the example shown in FIG. 12-10 (C), the ending background image in which the blizzard of cherry blossoms dances is displayed from the back of the screen in the first display area 20SH51. Further, on the front of the ending background image, the characters "big hit end" are displayed corresponding to the end of the big hit game state.

Here, the effect control CPU 120 finishes the notice of the pending villa before the display of the ending background image starts at the timing T2. Therefore, when the ending background image is displayed, the effect image 20SHE of the pending villa notice is not displayed. In other words, the effect video 20SHE of the pending villa notice is displayed when the ending background video is not displayed.

The ending background image may be an image displayed in at least the first display area 20SH51, and is displayed across the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52 as shown in FIG. 12-10 (D). It may happen. In the example shown in FIG. 12-10 (D), the blizzard of cherry blossoms displayed as the ending background image is flying over the entire screen.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 12-9 and 12-10 (D) to (E), at the timing T3 when the result display is started, the effect control CPU 120 sets the brightness of the ending background image to be higher than the predetermined brightness. The brightness is reduced to a specific darkness, and the progress of the ending background image is paused and displayed as a still image. Then, the effect control CPU 120 displays the result display 20SHRE on the front side of the ending background image with a brightness brighter than a specific brightness of the still image of the ending background image. In the example shown in FIG. 12-10 (E), the fluttering cherry blossom blizzard is stationary, and the result display 20SHRE is displayed in white characters.

As described above, as for the specific characters used in the result display 20SHRE, the specific area 20SHI5 is displayed in a transparent display. Therefore, the ending background image of the specific characters used in the result display 20SHRE can be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI5.

As shown in FIGS. 12-10 (A), (B), and (E), the characters used in the result display 20SHRE are larger in size than the characters used in the acquired number display 20SHK. Further, the result display 20SHRE may be displayed at least in the first display area 20SH51, and is displayed across the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52 as shown in FIG. 12-10 (E). There may be things.

(Suggestion of setting by ending background video)
FIG. 12-11 is a diagram showing an example of an effect mode of the setting suggestion effect by the ending background image.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured such that the winning probability of the jackpot changes according to the set value. Specifically, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing shown in FIG. 6, the jackpot winning probability is changed by using the display result determination table according to the set value. The set value consists of 6 levels from "1" to "6", with "1" having the lowest ball output rate, "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". The larger the value in the order of, the higher the ball output rate. That is, when "1" is set as the set value, the advantage is the lowest for the player, and the larger the value is, the larger the value is in the order of "2", "3", "4", "5", and "6". The advantage increases gradually. In this embodiment, the set values "1" to "3" are referred to as "low setting", and the set values "4" to "6" are referred to as "high setting".

The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the third aspect of the feature unit 20SH is configured so that the set value can be changed and the above-mentioned ending background image can be displayed as a setting suggestion effect suggesting the set value. For example, the effect control CPU 120 displays an ending background image in which a blizzard of cherry blossoms dances from the back of the screen as shown in FIG. 12-11 (A) when the set value is set low. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 120 displays an ending background image in which a large amount of cherry blossom blizzard dances from the left and right cherry blossom trees in full bloom, as shown in FIG. 12-11 (B), when the set value is set high.

It should be noted that the setting suggestion by the ending background image does not have to definitively suggest whether the set value is a low setting or a high setting. For example, when the set value is set low, the ending background image of the mode shown in FIG. 12-11 (B) may be displayed at a sufficiently low rate, or when the set value is set high. In addition, the ending background image of the aspect shown in FIG. 12-11 (A) may be displayed at a sufficiently low ratio.

Further, the ending background image may have different production modes depending on whether the setting value "6" is the most advantageous for the player and the setting value is not "6". Further, the ending background image may have different production modes depending on whether the setting value is an odd number or an even number.

Here, the above-mentioned notice of the villa in the hold is one of a plurality of types of notice effects for notifying the reliability of the jackpot, but the setting suggestion effect by the notice of the villa in the hold is not executed.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the third embodiment of the feature unit 20SH can be controlled to the jackpot gaming state. The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an image display device 5. The display area of the image display device 5 includes a first display area 20SH51 and a second display area 20SH52 that is a region around the first display area 20SH51 and is narrower than the first display area 20SH51. Then, the image display device 5 can display the big hit middle background image corresponding to the progress of the round game in the big hit game state in the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52. Further, the image display device 5 can display an ending background image corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state at least in the first display area 20SH51. Further, when the ending background image is not displayed, the image display device 5 controls the jackpot gaming state in the second display area 20SH52 in response to the hold information stored on the front side of the jackpot medium background image. It is possible to display the effect image 20SHE of the notice of the pending villa, which suggests that it will be done. Further, the image display device 5 can display the acquired number display 20SHK regarding the number of prize balls given on the front side of the big hit medium background image in the second display area 20SH52. Further, when the ending background image is displayed, the image display device 5 notifies the front side of the ending background image at least in the first display area 20SH51 of the total number of prize balls given in the big hit game state. Display 20SHRE can be displayed. The characters used in the result display 20SHRE are larger in size than the characters used in the acquired number display 20SHK. The characters used in the acquired number display 20SHK and the result display 20SHRE include a specific character in which a specific area surrounded by a line forming the character is formed. As for the specific characters used in the acquired number display 20SHK, the background image during the big hit and the effect image 20SHRE of the notice of the consecutive villas on hold are invisible from the specific area. On the other hand, as for the specific characters used in the result display 20SHRE, the ending background image can be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI5.

According to such a configuration, the acquired number display 20SHK including specific characters can be suitably displayed in relation to the background image during the big hit and the effect image 20SHE of the notice of the consecutive villas on hold, and the result display 20SHRE including the specific characters can be displayed. Can be suitably displayed in relation to the ending background image. For example, when the player confirms the number of prize balls in the jackpot game state, the acquired number display 20SHK is confirmed, but the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed in small size characters in the narrow second display area 20SH52, and is held. Since it may overlap with the effect video 20SHE of the villa notice, if the background video during the big hit or the effect video 20SHE of the pending villa notice is visible from the specific area of the specific character, the specific character will look different from the original character. By making the background image during the big hit and the effect image 20SH of the notice of the pending villa invisible from the specific area of the specific character, the specific character can be accurately recognized. On the other hand, the result display 20SHRE is displayed in large size characters in the wide first display area 20SH51 and does not overlap with the effect image 20SHE of the pending villa notice, so that the ending background image can be visually recognized from the specific area of the specific characters. By making it possible, it is possible to show the ending background image as much as possible in the conspicuous display position of the first display area 20SH51.

Further, as described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can set any of a plurality of types of set values "1" to "6" having different jackpot winning probabilities. Then, the image display device 5 can display the ending background image in a manner suggesting the set set value. The effect video 20SHRE of the notice of the villa in the hold is one of a plurality of types of notice effects for notifying the reliability of the jackpot, but the setting suggestion effect by the notice of the villa in the hold is not executed.

According to such a configuration, there is a possibility that the setting suggestion effect by the ending background image is executed. Therefore, it is significant that the ending background image can be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI5 of the specific character used for the result display 20SHRE. Increase.

Further, as described above, the image display device 5 starts displaying the ending background image at a predetermined brightness. Then, the image display device 5 pauses and displays the ending background image at a specific lightness darker than the predetermined lightness at the timing T3 when the display of the result display 20SHRE is started, and at a lightness brighter than the specific lightness. Result display 20SHRE is displayed.

According to such a configuration, the visibility of the result display 20SHRE can be improved.

(Explanation of the Fourth Form of Feature 20SH)
Next, the gaming machine according to the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH will be described with reference to FIGS. 12-12 to 12-16. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 relating to the fourth aspect of the feature unit 20SH, the remaining number of times of the ST number in the probabilistic state is displayed, and when the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number of times is the predetermined number of times, the predetermined number of times is notified. It is possible to display the remaining number of times notification display. The characters used for the remaining number display and the remaining number notification display include specific characters in which a specific area surrounded by lines forming the characters is formed. As for the specific character used for displaying the remaining number of times, the background image during ST cannot be visually recognized from the specific area. As for the specific character used for the remaining number notification display, the background image during ST can be visually recognized from the specific area.

Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine 1 relating to the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH having such features will be described. The description of the same parts as those described above will be omitted.

(Background technology related to the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-12 is a diagram showing a background technique related to the fourth form of the feature portion 20SH.

Basically, a pachinko gaming machine is a game in a normal state rather than a period in which a game is played in an advantageous state when comparing a state advantageous for a player such as a probabilistic state, a time saving state, and a jackpot game state with a normal state. It is designed to have a longer period of time.

For example, in a pachinko gaming machine, when the upper limit number of hold information is stored regardless of whether it is the first special figure game or the second special figure game, when the upper limit number of hold information is not stored. It is easier to execute shortened fluctuations with a shorter variable display time. Then, in the probabilistic state accompanied by the time reduction control, since the variable winning ball device changes to the open state, winning is more likely to occur than in the normal state, so that the shortening fluctuation is more likely to be executed than in the normal state and faster than in the normal state. It is possible to advance the game. Therefore, the period during which the game is played in the normal state is longer than the period during which the game is played in the probabilistic state accompanied by the time reduction control.

In the probabilistic change control, one of the conditions of the time when the special figure game of a predetermined number of ST times is executed after the end of the big hit game state and the time when the display result of the variable display becomes "big hit" is satisfied first. It ends when you do. Therefore, even if the display result of the variable display does not become a "big hit" when the probability variation control is being performed, the probability variation control ends when the special figure game of a predetermined number of ST times is exhausted. .. The predetermined number of STs is, for example, 70 times.

Further, by performing the time saving control, the variable display time of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the case where the time saving control is not performed. In the time saving control, one of the conditions that the special figure game of a predetermined number of time saving times is executed after the end of the big hit game state and that the display result of the variable display becomes "big hit" is satisfied first. It ends when you do. Therefore, even if the display result of the variable display does not become a "big hit" when the time reduction control is being performed, the time reduction control ends when the special figure game of a predetermined number of time reductions is exhausted. .. The predetermined number of time reductions is, for example, 70 times.

The set value of the number of STs and the set value of the number of time reductions may be different values.

When the pachinko machine is controlled to the probabilistic state, as shown in FIG. 12-12 (A), the pachinko gaming machine may display the remaining number display regarding the remaining number of STs in the probabilistic state. In the example shown in FIG. 12-12 (A), the remaining number display of "remaining 30 times" is displayed corresponding to the remaining number of ST times being 30 times.

In the remaining number display, a number for displaying the remaining number of ST times and a character other than the number for recognizing that the remaining number is displayed are used. The numbers used for displaying the remaining number of times are, for example, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and the like. The remaining number display shown in FIG. 12-12 (A) is the characters "remaining" and "times" for recognizing that the remaining number is displayed, and "30" for displaying the remaining number of ST times. And the numbers are used.

Among the characters used for displaying the remaining number of times, there is a specific character in which a specific area is formed.

Further, when the pachinko gaming machine is controlled to the probabilistic state, as shown in FIG. 12-12 (A), the background image during ST corresponding to the probabilistic state is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device. do. In the example shown in FIG. 12-12 (A), the background image during ST in a manner in which the screen is cracked is displayed. The background image during ST is an image displayed on the back side of the other display displayed on the image display device in the probabilistic state. The background image during ST contains many lines expressing animation pictures and effects.

The remaining number display is displayed small in the edge area in the display area of the image display device, which does not impair the visibility of the variable display of the decorative pattern. If the background image during ST changes over time, the line of the background image during ST may overlap the back of the remaining number display. Then, when a specific character is displayed on the remaining number of times display, ST is displayed on the back surface of the specific area of the specific character as shown by the Arabic numeral "0" part surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 12-12 (A). When the lines of the middle image overlap, the lines of the background image during ST may be assimilated with the lines forming the specific characters, and the specific characters may appear different from the original characters.

FIG. 12-12 (B) is an enlarged view of the portion of the Arabic numeral “0” surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 12-12 (A). In the examples shown in FIGS. 12-12 (A) and 12-12 (B), the line of the ST middle background image overlaps the back of the specific area of the specific character "0" used for the remaining number display, and the ST middle background image. The line is assimilated with the line forming the specific character "0", and the specific character "0" appears to be the Arabic numeral "8" instead of the Arabic numeral "0".

In this way, if the character of the remaining number display is mistaken for a character different from the original character, the remaining number of ST times in the probabilistic state cannot be accurately recognized. However, for example, it is difficult to adjust the position of the line of the background image during ST so that the line of the background image during ST does not overlap the specific area of the specific character.

The fourth form of the feature portion 20SH is made in view of such a background, and the fourth form of the feature portion 20SH will be described below.

(Display of the remaining number of times in the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-13 is a diagram showing an example of an Arabic numeral display mode used for displaying the remaining number of times in the fourth embodiment of the feature unit 20SH.

In the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH, among the Arabic numerals used for displaying the remaining number of times, the specific area 20SHI6 of "0", "4", "6", "8", and "9" corresponding to the specific character is , It is a non-transparent display mode, and is displayed in a display mode different from the display mode of the line 20SHS6 forming characters. In the example shown in FIG. 12-13, the color of the Arabic numeral line 20SHS6 used for displaying the remaining number of times is "black", whereas "0", "4", "6", and "6" corresponding to specific characters are used. When the specific area 20SHI6 of "8" and "9" is displayed in "white" and displayed in front of the background image during ST, the background image during ST becomes invisible from the specific area 20SHI6.

Further, the display mode of the specific area 20SHI6 is not limited to a color different from the color of the line 20SHS6 forming the moji, and the characters are displayed to such an extent that the specific area 20SHI6 and the line 20SHS6 forming the characters can be accurately distinguished. Any display mode may be used as long as it has a high contrast with respect to the display mode of the line 20SHS6 to be formed.

For example, the color of the specific region 20SHI6 may be a color having a high contrast with the color of the line 20SHS6 forming the character. In that case, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI6 may be such that the contrast is low with respect to the brightness of the line 20SHS6 forming the characters. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific region 20SHI6 may have a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the character. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific area 20SHI6 may be a texture having a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the character.

Further, for example, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI6 may have a high contrast with the brightness of the line 20SHS6 forming the characters. In that case, the color of the specific region 20SHI6 may be a color having a low contrast with the color of the line 20SHS6 forming the character. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific region 20SHI6 may have a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the character. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific area 20SHI6 may be a texture having a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the character.

Further, for example, the texture of the specific region 20SHI6 may have a high contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the characters. In that case, the color of the specific region 20SHI6 may be a color having a low contrast with the color of the line 20SHS6 forming the character. Further, in that case, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI6 may be such that the contrast is low with respect to the brightness of the line 20SHS6 forming the characters. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific area 20SHI6 may be a texture having a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the character.

Further, for example, the texture of the specific area 20SHI6 may be a texture having a high contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the character. In that case, the color of the specific region 20SHI6 may be a color having a low contrast with the color of the line 20SHS6 forming the character. Further, in that case, the brightness of the specific region 20SHI6 may be such that the contrast is low with respect to the brightness of the line 20SHS6 forming the characters. Further, in that case, the texture of the specific region 20SHI6 may have a low contrast with the texture of the line 20SHS6 forming the character.

Among the characters used for displaying the remaining number, the numbers other than the Arabic numerals for displaying the remaining number of ST times and the specific characters among the characters other than the numbers for recognizing that the remaining number is displayed are also shown in the figure. Like the Arabic numerals shown in 12-13, the specific area is displayed in a non-transparent display mode, which is different from the display mode of the lines forming the characters.

(Remaining number of times notification display in the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-14 is a diagram showing an example of an Arabic numeral display mode used for the remaining number notification display in the fourth embodiment of the feature unit 20SH.

When the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number of times display reaches a predetermined number of times, the pachinko gaming machine 1 displays a remaining number of times notification display for notifying the predetermined number of times.

In the remaining number notification display, when the remaining number indicated by the remaining number display reaches a predetermined number, a number other than a number for displaying the predetermined number and a character other than a number for recognizing that the remaining number notification display is used. And are used. The numbers used for the remaining number notification display are, for example, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 12-14, the remaining number notification display is displayed in a plurality of types having different transmittances. The remaining number notification display shown in FIG. 12-14 (A) is a display mode in which the area of the line forming the character of the remaining number notification display is not transparent and the background of the character cannot be seen from the line area. The remaining number notification display shown in FIG. 12-14 (B) is a display mode in which the area of the line forming the character of the remaining number notification display is transparent and the background of the character can be seen from the line area.

In addition, the remaining number notification display is displayed in three-dimensional characters. In the display mode in which the background of the character is not visible, the area of the line forming the three-dimensional character includes the area 20SHS71 expressing the character and the area 20SHS72A expressing the depth of the three-dimensional character. In the display mode in which the background of the character is transparent, the area 20SHS71 expressing the character is transparently displayed, and in the display mode in which the background of the character is not visible, the area 20SHS72A expressing the depth of the three-dimensional character is displayed. The area is displayed as the area 20SHS72B representing the bottom surface of the three-dimensional character.

Among such three-dimensional characters, there are characters corresponding to specific characters. In the example shown in FIG. 12-14, among the three-dimensional Arabic numerals used for the remaining number notification display, the specific areas of "0", "4", "6", "8", and "9" corresponding to the specific characters. The 20SHI7 is displayed in a transparent display mode, and when it is displayed in front of the background image during ST, the background image during ST can be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI7.

As shown in FIG. 12-14, the specific area 20SHI7 of the remaining number notification display differs depending on whether the remaining number notification display is displayed in a non-transparent mode or a transparent mode. In the example shown in FIG. 12-14, the remaining number notification display is displayed in a non-transparent manner, and since the area of the line forming the character includes the area 20SHS72A expressing the depth of the character, the area expressing the character. The area surrounded by the outline of the inner circumference of the 20SHS71 and the outline of the area 20SHS72A representing the depth of the characters located on the inner circumference side thereof is the specific area 20SHI7. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 12-14 (B), the remaining number notification display is displayed in a transparent manner, and the area 20SHS71 expressing the character is transparently displayed, so that the bottom surface of the three-dimensional character is represented. The region surrounded by the outline of the inner circumference of the region 20SHS72B is the specific region 20SHI7.

(How the remaining number of times is displayed in the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-15 (A) is a diagram showing how the remaining number display is displayed in the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH. FIG. 12-15 (B) is an enlarged view of the portion of the Arabic numeral “0” surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 12-15 (A).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 12-15 (A) and 12-15 (B), the line of the background image during ST overlaps the back of the specific area of the specific character "0" used in the remaining number display 20SHST, but the specific area Since 20SHI6 is displayed in "white", the background image during ST cannot be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI6. Therefore, in the specific area 20SHI6, it is not assimilated with the line 20SHHS2 of the background image during ST, and the specific character "0" can be accurately recognized as the Arabic numeral "0".

In addition to the remaining number display 20SHST, the image display device 5 displays the acquired number display 20SHK, the right-handed display 20SHM, and the probability variation display 20SHRU for recognizing that the image display device 5 is controlled to the probability variation state. There is. The acquired number display 20SHK, the right-handed display 20SHM, and the probability variation display 20SHRU are also displayed small in the edge area in the display area of the image display device 5 that does not impair the visibility of the decorative pattern, as in the remaining number display 20SHST.

The characters used for the acquired number display 20SHK, the right-handed display 20SHM, and the probability variation display 20SHRU are the same types of characters as those used for the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display, and the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display. It may contain characters of a different type from the characters to be used. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12-17, "number", "hiragana", and "kanji" are used as the characters of the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display 20SHST. On the other hand, in the probability variation display 20SHRU, an "alphabet" which is a character different from the characters used in the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display 20SHST is used. Further, the acquired number display 20SHK includes "numbers" which are the same types of characters as those used for the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display 20SHST, and the characters used for the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display 20SHST. Different types of characters, "katakana", are used. In addition, the right-handed display 20SHM includes "hiragana" and "kanji", which are the same types of characters as those used for the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display 20SHST, and the remaining number display 20SHST and the remaining number notification display 20SHST. "Symbols", which are different types of characters from the characters used, are used.

Among the characters used in the acquired number display 20SHK, the right-handed display 20SHM, and the probability variation display 20SHRU, there are characters corresponding to specific characters regardless of the type of the characters. The specific area of the specific character used in the acquired number display 20SHK, the right-handed display 20SHM, and the probability variation display 20SHRU is also a non-transparent display mode like the specific area 20SHI6 of the remaining number display 20SHST, and the line 20SHS6 forming the character. Since the display mode is different from the display mode, the background image during ST cannot be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI6.

(Example of effect operation of remaining number display and remaining number notification display in the fourth form of the feature unit 20SH)
FIG. 12-16 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the relationship between the variable display and the change in the display mode of the remaining number notification display in the fourth embodiment of the feature unit 20SH. FIG. 12-17 is a diagram showing an example of an effect operation of the remaining number display and the remaining number notification display in the first embodiment of the feature unit 20SH.

As shown in FIG. 12-17, the effect control CPU 120 displays the remaining number display 20SHST in the second display area 20SH51 of the image display device 5. As shown in FIGS. 12-17 (A) to 12-17, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts 1 from the number for displaying the remaining number of STs of the remaining number display 20SHST each time the variable display is executed. Let me display it.

As shown in FIGS. 12-16 and 12-17 (A) to 12-17 (B), the effect control CPU 120 starts a variable display in which the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number of times display becomes a predetermined number of times. The display of the remaining number of times notification display 20SHSTH for notifying a predetermined number of times is started in a display mode that does not transmit. For example, the effect control CPU 120 notifies the number of times when the variable display in which the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number of times display is 60 times, 50 times, 40 times, 30 times, 20 times, or 10 times is started. The display of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is started to be displayed in a non-transparent display mode. As shown in FIGS. 12-17 (B) to 12 (D), the characters used in the remaining number display 20SHST are characters having a size larger than the characters used in the remaining number display 20SHST. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 12-17, the acquired number display 20SHK is also displayed when the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is displayed, but the remaining number notification display 20SHST is a display in which the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed. It is displayed in a display area different from the area. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12-16 and 12-17 (B) to (C), when the first period elapses after the display of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is started, the effect control CPU 120 remains. The display mode of the number-of-times notification display 20SHSTH is changed from a non-transparent display mode to a transparent display mode. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12-16 and 12-17 (B) to (E), when the second period elapses after changing the display mode of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH, the effect control CPU 120 is set. The display of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is terminated.

Here, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute variable display based on a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns having different variable display times.

The remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is a display for notifying the predetermined number of times when the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number display reaches a predetermined number of times. Therefore, if the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is displayed over a plurality of variable displays, the remaining number of STs may be misidentified.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the first period and the remaining number notification display 20SHST are displayed in a display mode that does not transmit the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH so that the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH can be terminated in one variable display. The total period with the second period displayed in the transparent display mode is set to be shorter than the variable display time of the type of variation pattern having the shortest variable display time.

According to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 12-16, in the variable display in which the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number of times display is a predetermined number of times, even if the variable display based on any kind of fluctuation pattern is executed, the variable display is executed. In the one variable display, the display of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH can be terminated.

Here, the first display area 20SH51 includes the above-mentioned "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. On the other hand, the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is displayed on the front side of the identification information at least in each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R in the first display area 20SH51. Therefore, if the display result of the variable display is derived and displayed while the non-transparent remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is displayed, the display result may not be recognized.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the first period of displaying in a display mode that does not transmit the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is the type of variation pattern having the shortest variable display time so that the display result of the variable display can be recognized. It is set to end before the timing when the display result in the variable display of is derived.

According to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 12-16, in the variable display in which the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number of times display is a predetermined number of times, even if the variable display based on any kind of fluctuation pattern is executed, the variable display is executed. The display result of the variable display can be preferably recognized.

In the example shown in FIG. 12-17 (D), the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is displayed when the display result of the variable display is derived, but the display mode of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is transparent. Since it has changed, the identification information in the background of the character can be visually recognized from the area of the line forming the character of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH.

In this embodiment, the change in the display mode of the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is controlled so that the remaining number notification display 20SHST is displayed in a display mode in which the remaining number notification display 20SHSTH is transparent when the display result of the variable display is derived and displayed. However, when the pseudo-continuous effect is executed in the variable display in which the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number display 20SHST is a predetermined number, the remaining number of times is temporarily stopped when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notification display 20SHSTH may be displayed in a transparent display mode.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the fourth aspect of the feature unit 20SH can be controlled to a probabilistic state accompanied by a time saving control capable of advancing the game faster than the normal state. The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an image display device 5. The display area of the image display device 5 includes a first display area 20SH51 and a second display area 20SH52 that is a region around the first display area 20SH51 and is narrower than the first display area 20SH51. Then, the image display device 5 can display the background image during ST in the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52. Further, the image display device 5 can display the remaining number display 20SHST regarding the remaining number of STs in the probabilistic state on the front side of the background image during ST in the second display area 20SH52. Further, the image display device 5 notifies the remaining number of times when the remaining number of times indicated by the remaining number of times display reaches a predetermined number on the front side of the background image during ST at least in the first display area 20SH51.

(For example, the image display device 5 corresponds to the progress of the round game in the jackpot gaming state in the first display area 20SH51 and the second display area 20SH52. The background image during the jackpot can be displayed (for example, the background image can be displayed), and at least in the first display area, the second background image corresponding to the end of the advantageous state can be displayed (for example, the image display device 5 can display at least the second background image). In the first display area 20SH51, the ending background image corresponding to the end of the jackpot gaming state can be displayed, etc.), and when the second background image is not displayed, in the second display area, the said A specific suggestion video that suggests the progress of the game can be displayed on the front side of the first background video (for example, the image display device 5 can display the ending background video in the second display area 20SH52 when the ending background video is not displayed. , The effect video 20SH of the notice of the pachinko machine on hold, which suggests that the game is controlled to the jackpot game state in response to the stored hold information, can be displayed on the front side of the background video during the big hit, etc.), In the second display area, it is possible to display the grant amount display regarding the grant amount of the granted gaming value on the front side of the first background image (for example, the image display device 5 can display the grant amount display in the second display area 20SH52. On the front side of the background image during the jackpot, it is possible to display 20 SHK of the number of winning balls related to the number of prize balls given), and when the second background image is displayed, at least in the first display area. Notifying the front side of the second background image of the amount of gaming value granted in the advantageous state. The result notification display can be displayed (for example, when the ending background image is displayed, the image display device 5 gives the ending background image to the front side of the ending background image in a jackpot game state at least in the first display area 20SH51. The result display 20SHRE for notifying the total number of prize balls has been displayed (for example, the result display 20SHRE can be displayed), and the characters used for the result notification display are characters having a size larger than the characters used for the grant amount display (for example,). The characters used for the result display 20SHRE are larger than the characters used for the acquired number display 20SHK, etc.), and the characters used for the grant amount display and the result notification display are based on the lines forming the characters. The characters used in the acquired number display 20SHK and the result display 20SHRE include the specific characters in which the enclosed specific area is formed (for example, the characters used in the result display 20SHRE include the specific characters in which the specific area surrounded by the lines forming the characters is formed. Etc.), the first background image and the previous term specific suggestion image cannot be visually recognized from the specific area as the specific character used for the given amount display (for example, the specific character used for the acquired number display 20SHK is the specific area. (The background image during the big hit and the effect image 20SHRE of the notice of the pending villa are invisible, etc.), and the specific characters used for the result notification display are the second background image visible from the specific area. (For example, the specific character used in the result display 20SHRE is such that the ending background image can be visually recognized from the specific area 20SHI5).

According to such a configuration, the grant amount display including the specific characters can be suitably displayed in relation to the first background image and the specific suggestion image, and the result notification display including the specific characters can be displayed with the second background image. It can be preferably displayed in relation to each other. For example, when the player confirms the amount of the game value given in the advantageous state, he / she confirms the amount of grant, but the amount of grant is displayed in small size characters in the narrow second display area and is specified. Since it may overlap with the suggestion video, if the first background video or the specific suggestion video is visible from the specific area of the specific character, the specific character may look different from the original character. By making the background image during the big hit and the specific suggestion image invisible from the specific area of the above, the specific character can be accurately recognized. On the other hand, the result notification display is displayed in large size characters in the wide first display area and does not overlap with the specific suggestion image. Therefore, by making the second background image visible from the specific area of the specific character, the result notification display can be visually recognized. It is possible to show the second background image as much as possible in a conspicuous display position called the first display area.

(18) In the gaming machine of the above (17), a setting means capable of setting any one of a plurality of types of setting values having different advantages for the player (for example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a jackpot winning probability). It is possible to set any one of a plurality of types of setting values "1" to "6"), and the display means suggests a setting value set by the setting means. The second background image can be displayed (for example, the image display device 5 can display the ending background image in a mode that suggests the set value), and the specific suggestion image is It is one aspect of a plurality of types of suggestion images that suggest the advantageous state, and does not suggest the set value set by the setting means (for example, the effect image 20SHRE of the pending villa notice announces the jackpot reliability. Although it is one of multiple types of notice effects, the setting suggestion effect due to the pending villa notice is not executed, etc.).

According to such a configuration, there is a possibility that the set value is suggested by the second background image, so that it is significant that the second background image can be visually recognized from the specific area of the specific character used for the result notification display. Will increase.

(19) In the gaming machine according to (17) or (18), the display means starts displaying the second background image at a predetermined brightness (for example, the image display device 5 has an ending background at a predetermined brightness. At the timing of starting the display of the result notification display, the second background image is paused and displayed at a specific brightness darker than the predetermined brightness, and the specific brightness is displayed. The result notification display is displayed with a lightness brighter than the lightness (for example, the image display device 5 pauses the ending background image at a specific lightness darker than a predetermined lightness at the timing T3 at which the display of the result display 20SHRE is started. Display the result display 20SHRE at a brightness brighter than a specific brightness, etc.).

According to such a configuration, the visibility of the result notification display can be improved.

(Explanation of feature 19SH)

The image display device 5 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 regarding the feature unit 19SH is scheduled to display the number of winning balls given by the game ball entering the big winning opening in the big hit game state and to give it in the big hit game state. It is possible to display the number of planned acquisitions and the total number of prize balls. In addition, the image display device 5 can display an effect display that makes the display of the number of planned acquisitions invisible or difficult when an over-winning occurs. Then, the image display device 5 updates the value of the planned acquisition number display when the planned acquisition number display becomes invisible or difficult due to the effect display. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 120 starts the over-winning effect before the expected acquisition number display becomes invisible or difficult due to the effect display.

Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine 1 relating to the feature unit 19SH having such features will be described. The description of the same parts as those described above will be omitted.

(Direction operation when a prize occurs during a round game)
FIG. 13-1 is a diagram showing an example of an effect operation when a prize is generated during a round game. FIG. 13-2 is a diagram showing an example of the positional relationship of a plurality of display layers on which various displays are displayed.

As shown in FIG. 13-1 (A), the effect control CPU 120 of this embodiment displays the number of acquisitions 20SHK when the game ball is controlled to the big hit game state, and the game ball is a big prize opening in the big hit game state. 20SHK1 for displaying the number of prize balls given by entering the box, and 20SHK2 for displaying the total number of winning balls scheduled to be given in the jackpot game state are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 13-1 (A), the acquired number display 20SHK is such that the acquired number display 20SHK is "135" in the numerator with the central convoluted line "/" separated, as in "135/1500". It is arranged and displayed in the form of a fraction in which "1500" is arranged and the expected acquisition number display 20SHK2 is arranged. That is, in the acquired number display 20SHK shown in FIG. 13-1 (A), the number of prize balls given when the game ball enters the big winning opening in the big hit game state is 135 balls, and the prize ball is given in the big hit game state. It shows that the total number of prize balls to be awarded is 1500.

Further, also in this embodiment, the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed in the second display area 20SH52 of the image display device 5, and the jackpot display 20SHO, the decorative symbol display 20SHZ, and the round number display 20SHR are displayed in the second display area 20SH52. , Right-handed display 20SHM is also displayed. Further, the image display device 5 displays a background image during the jackpot in which the character 20SHCA appears in response to the progress of the round game in the jackpot game state. As shown in FIG. 13-2, the big hit middle background image is displayed on the display layer arranged on the back side of the display layer on which the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed.

When the prize ball is given by the game ball entering the big winning opening in the big hit game state, the effect control CPU 120 displays the number of acquisitions according to the effect mode as shown in FIGS. 13-1 (B) to 13-1 (F). Update the value of 20SHK.

When the prize ball is given by the game ball entering the big prize opening in the big hit game state, the effect control CPU 120 first forms the big winning opening as shown in FIG. 13-1 (B). The display of the effect display is started in the display area near the position of the variable winning ball device 7. Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, the special variable winning ball device 7 is arranged at the lower right position of the image display device 5 when viewed from the player. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 13-1 (B), the effect display 20SHEF imitating a tornado is displayed at the lower right corner of the display area of the image display device 5. At this timing, the acquired number display 20SHK can be visually recognized, but the value of the acquired number display 20SHK has not been updated.

In the example shown in FIG. 13-1 (C), since the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed above the display area of the image display device 5, the effect display 20SHEF whose display is started is displayed at the lower right end of the display area. Moving upwards in the area. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 13-1 (C), the size of the effect display 20SHEF increases with movement. Even at this timing, the acquired number display 20SHK can be visually recognized, but the value of the acquired number display 20SHK has not been updated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-1 (D), the effect control CPU 120 moves the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK. Here, as shown in FIG. 13-2, the effect display 20SHEF is displayed on the display layer arranged in front of the display layer on which the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed. Therefore, by moving the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, the acquired number display 20SHK becomes invisible. At this timing, the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible, but as shown in FIG. 13-2 (D), the value of the acquired number display 20SHK is not updated.

In the example shown in FIG. 13-1 (D), the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible due to the movement of the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, but the value of the acquired number display 20SHK is recognized. A part of the acquired number display 20SHK may be visible as long as it cannot be done. That is, by moving the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, the acquired number display 20SHK may be difficult to see.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 13-1 (D) to (E) and 13-2 (D) to (E), the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect display 20SHEF in the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK. As a result, when the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible or difficult, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated. Here, in this embodiment, as described above, when a game ball enters the large winning opening, 15 game balls are paid out as prize balls. Therefore, in the examples shown in FIGS. 13-1 (D) to (E) and FIGS. 13-2 (D) to (E), the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "135" to "150".

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-1 (F), the effect control CPU 120 ends the display of the effect display 20SHEF. In the example shown in FIG. 13-1 (F), since the display of the effect display 20SHEF is completed, the acquired number display 20SHK can be visually recognized, and it can be confirmed that the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 has been updated. can.

According to such an effect mode, the effect display 20SHEF can be first noticed by displaying the effect display 20SHEF. Then, as the effect display 20SHEF approaches the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, the attention to the acquired number display 20SHK can be increased. Then, by updating the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 when the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible or difficult due to the effect display 20SHEF, the display of the effect display 20SHEF ends and the acquired number display 20SHK becomes visible. At that time, it is possible to preferably recognize that the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 that has been attracting attention has been updated.

(Example of production operation when over-winning occurs)
FIG. 13-3 is a diagram showing an example of an effect operation when an over-winning occurs. FIG. 13-4 is a diagram showing an example of the positional relationship of a plurality of display layers on which various displays are displayed.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment is controlled so that when the tenth game ball enters the large winning opening in one round game, the large winning opening is closed. At this time, 11 A so-called over-winning may occur in which the first gaming ball enters the large winning opening following the tenth gaming ball. When an over-winning occurs, the effect control CPU 120 updates the value of the acquired number display 20SHK according to the effect mode as shown in FIG. 13-3.

When an over-winning occurs, the effect control CPU 120 first forms a large winning opening as shown in FIGS. 13-3 (A) to 13-3 (B), as in the case where the tenth winning is generated. The display of the effect display is started in the display area close to the position of the special variable winning ball device 7. In the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (B), the effect display 20SHEF imitating a tornado is displayed at the lower right corner of the display area of the image display device 5. At this timing, the acquired number display 20SHK can be visually recognized, but the value of the acquired number display 20SHK has not been updated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-3 (C), the effect control CPU 120 moves the effect display 20SHEF toward the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK. In the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (C), since the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed above the display area of the image display device 5, the effect display 20SHEF whose display is started is displayed at the lower right end of the display area. Moving upwards in the area. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (C), the size of the effect display 20SHEF increases with movement. Even at this timing, the acquired number display 20SHK can be visually recognized, but the value of the acquired number display 20SHK has not been updated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13-3 (C), the effect control CPU 120 displays the acquired number display 20SHK by the effect display 20SHEF before the effect display 20SHEF reaches the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK. Before it becomes invisible or difficult, an over-winning effect for notifying that an over-winning has occurred is started. In the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (C), the over-winning effect video in which the character CHCB appears is displayed on the image display device 5.

The effect control CPU 120 can execute an effect by another effect device as an over-winning effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 13-3 (C), the effect control CPU 120 outputs an over-winning sound in a mode different from the normal winning sound from the speakers 8L and 8R as the over-winning effect. In the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (C), the over-winning sound with the "picone picone" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Further, the effect control CPU 120 may cause the attacker lamp 9c to emit light in a light emitting mode different from the normal sound at the time of winning as an over-winning effect.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-3 (D), the effect control CPU 120 moves the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK. Here, as shown in FIG. 13-4, the effect display 20SHEF is displayed on the display layer arranged in front of the display layer on which the acquired number display 20SHK is displayed. Therefore, by moving the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, the acquired number display 20SHK becomes invisible. At this timing, the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible, but as shown in FIG. 13-4 (D), the value of the acquired number display 20SHK is not updated.

In the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (D), the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible due to the movement of the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, but the value of the acquired number display 20SHK is recognized. A part of the acquired number display 20SHK may be visible as long as it cannot be done. That is, by moving the effect display 20SHEF to the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, the acquired number display 20SHK may be difficult to see.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 13-3 (D) to (E) and 13-4 (D) to (E), the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect display 20SHEF in the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK. As a result, when the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible or difficult, the values of the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 are updated. In the examples shown in FIGS. 13-3 (D) to (E) and 13-4 (D) to (E), the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "150" to "165", and the expected acquired number is displayed. The value of 20SHK2 has been updated from "1500" to "1515".

Then, the effect control CPU 120 ends the display of the effect display 20SHEF as shown in FIG. 13-3 (F). In the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (F), the acquired number display 20SHK is visible because the effect display 20SHEF is finished, and the values of the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 have been updated. You can confirm that.

According to such an effect mode, the effect display 20SHEF can be first noticed by displaying the effect display 20SHEF. Then, as the effect display 20SHEF approaches the display area of the acquired number display 20SHK, the attention to the acquired number display 20SHK can be increased. Then, when the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible or difficult to be seen by the effect display 20SHEF, by updating the values of the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2, the display of the effect display 20SHEF ends and the acquired number. When the display 20SHK becomes visible, it is possible to preferably recognize that the values of the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2, which have been attracting attention, have been updated.

In particular, when an over-winning occurs, not only the value of the winning number display 20SHK1 but also the value of the planned winning number display 20SHK2 is updated, so that the total number of prize balls to be given in the jackpot game state is given by the over-winning. It is possible to preferably recognize that the number of prize balls has increased by the number of prize balls.

After finishing the display of the effect display 20SHEF, the effect control CPU 120 ends the over-winning effect as shown in FIG. 13-3 (G). In the example shown in FIG. 13-3 (G), the display of the over-winning effect image displayed on the image display device 5 as the over-winning effect is finished, and the background image during the big hit in which the character 20SHCA appears is displayed.

(Suggestion of setting by over winning production)
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured such that the winning probability of the jackpot changes according to the set value. Specifically, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing shown in FIG. 6, the jackpot winning probability is changed by using the display result determination table according to the set value. The set value consists of 6 levels from "1" to "6", with "1" having the lowest ball output rate, "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". The larger the value in the order of, the higher the ball output rate. That is, when "1" is set as the set value, the advantage is the lowest for the player, and the larger the value is, the larger the value is in the order of "2", "3", "4", "5", and "6". The advantage increases gradually. In this embodiment, the set values "1" to "3" are referred to as "low setting", and the set values "4" to "6" are referred to as "high setting".

In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, the set value can be changed, and the above-mentioned over-winning effect can be executed as the setting suggestion effect that suggests the set value. For example, when the setting value is low, the effect control CPU 120 displays an over-winning effect image in which the character CHCB appears on the image display device 5, as shown in FIG. 13-5 (A), and displays the “picone”. The over-winning sound with "picone" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. On the other hand, when the set value is set high, the effect control CPU 120 displays the over-winning effect image in which the character CHCC appears on the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. The over-winning sound with "Pee Po" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

It should be noted that the setting suggestion effect by the over-winning effect does not have to definitively suggest whether the set value is a low setting or a high setting. For example, when the set value is set low, the over-winning effect of the mode shown in FIG. 13-5 (B) may be executed at a sufficiently low rate, or when the set value is set high. In addition, the over-winning effect of the aspect shown in FIG. 13-5 (A) may be executed at a sufficiently low rate.

Further, the over-winning effect may be different depending on whether the set value "6" is the most advantageous for the player and the set value is not "6". Further, the over-winning effect may be different depending on whether the set value is an odd number or an even number.

(When there are rounds where the specified number of prizes have not been won and rounds where over prizes have occurred)
FIG. 12-6 is a diagram showing an example of an effect operation when there are a round in which a predetermined number of prizes have not been won and a round in which an over prize has occurred in the feature unit 19SH.

As described above, the open state of the jackpot game state is continued until the elapsed timing of the predetermined period or the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the jackpot reaches the predetermined number, whichever is earlier. ..

In the examples shown in FIGS. 13-6 (A) to 13-6, although there were 9 prizes in the round game of 1 round, before the number of game balls that entered the large winning opening reached 10. After 29.5 seconds have passed, the 1-round round game is completed and the 2-round round game is started. In this example, as shown in FIG. 13-6 (B), the number of acquisitions displayed as "135/1500", 20SHK, is displayed in response to the fact that nine prizes were won during the round game of one round. ing. In this example, it is assumed that the total number of prize balls to be awarded in the jackpot game state in which the round game of 10 rounds is executed is 1500.

Then, in the two-round round game, the number of game balls that entered the large winning opening reached ten, the two-round round game was completed, and even in the three-round round game, there were ten prizes. And. That is, it is assumed that 300 prize balls have been awarded in the round games of the 2nd and 3rd rounds. In that case, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "135" at the start of the second round to "435" as shown in FIG. 13-6 (C).

Then, it is assumed that an over prize has occurred in the round game of 3 rounds. In that case, as shown in FIG. 13-6 (D), the display of the effect display 20SHEF is started, and the over-winning effect is executed when the effect display 20SHEF is moving.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-6 (E), the effect display 20SHEF makes the acquired number display 20SHK invisible or difficult, but when the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible or difficult, the acquired number display is displayed. The value of 20SHK is updated. Then, as shown in FIG. 13-6 (F), when the display of the effect display 20SHEF is completed, the acquired number display 20SHK becomes visible. In this example, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "435" to "450", and the value of the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 is updated from "1500" to "1515".

Then, in the round games of 4 rounds to 10 rounds, it is assumed that the number of game balls that have entered the grand prize opening reaches 10 and the round games of each round are completed. In that case, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "450" at the start of the 4th round to "1500" as shown in FIG. 13-6 (G).

Then, when the round game of all 10 rounds is completed, the ending effect is executed as shown in FIG. 13-6 (H), and the total number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state is 1500 by the result display 20SH. Is notified.

Here, in this example, the total number of prize balls to be awarded in the jackpot game state in which the 10-round round game is executed was 1500, but the over-winning occurred in the 3-round round game, so that the final prize was obtained. The value of 20SHK2, which is the number of planned acquisitions, is "1515". However, since there were only nine prizes in the round game of one round, the value of the final number display 20SHK1 is "1500" instead of "1515".

According to such an embodiment, when there are a round in which a predetermined number of prizes has not been won and a round in which an over-winning has occurred, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is smaller than the value of the planned number of acquired number display 20SHK2. By confirming the final number of winnings display 20SHK, it is easy to understand that there were rounds in which a predetermined number of prizes were not won and there were rounds in which over-winning occurred.

FIG. 12-7 is a diagram showing another example of the effect operation when there are a round in which a predetermined number of prizes have not been won and a round in which an over prize has occurred in the feature unit 19SH.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 13-7 (A) to 13-7, although there were 9 prizes in the round game of 1 round, before the number of game balls that entered the large winning opening reached 10. After 29.5 seconds have passed, the 1-round round game is completed and the 2-round round game is started. In this example, as shown in FIG. 13-7 (B), the number of acquisitions displayed as "135/1500", 20SHK, is displayed in response to the fact that nine prizes were won during the round game of one round. ing. In this example, it is assumed that the total number of prize balls to be awarded in the jackpot game state in which the round game of 10 rounds is executed is 1500.

Then, in the two-round round game, the number of game balls that entered the large winning opening reached ten, the two-round round game was completed, and even in the three-round round game, there were ten prizes. And. That is, it is assumed that 300 prize balls have been awarded in the round games of the 2nd and 3rd rounds. In that case, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "135" at the start of the second round to "435" as shown in FIG. 13-7 (C).

Then, it is assumed that an over prize has occurred in the round game of 3 rounds. In that case, as shown in FIG. 13-7 (D), the display of the effect display 20SHEF is started, and the over-winning effect is executed when the effect display 20SHEF is moving.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-7 (E), the effect display 20SHEF makes the acquired number display 20SHK invisible or difficult, but when the acquired number display 20SHK is invisible or difficult, the acquired number display is displayed. The value of 20SHK1 is updated. Then, as shown in FIG. 13-7 (F), when the display of the effect display 20SHEF is completed, the acquired number display 20SHK becomes visible. In this example, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "435" to "450", but the value of the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 is not updated and remains "1500".

Then, in the round games of 4 rounds to 10 rounds, it is assumed that the number of game balls that have entered the grand prize opening reaches 10 and the round games of each round are completed. In that case, the value of the acquired number display 20SHK1 is updated from "450" at the start of the 4th round to "1500" as shown in FIG. 13-7 (G).

Then, when the round game of all 10 rounds is completed, the ending effect is executed as shown in FIG. 13-7 (H), and the total number of prize balls given in the jackpot game state is 1500 by the result display 20SH. Is notified.

Here, in this example, the total number of prize balls to be awarded in the jackpot game state in which the 10-round round game is executed is 1500, but the over-winning occurs in the 3-round round game. However, the value of the final planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 remains "1500". However, since there were only nine prizes in the round game of one round, the value of the final number display 20SHK1 is "1500".

According to such an embodiment, when there is a round in which a predetermined number of prizes has not been won and a round in which an over-winning has occurred, there is no sense of discomfort due to the values of the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2. be able to.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 related to the feature unit 19SH can be controlled to the jackpot gaming state. The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an image display device 5.

(Modification example of feature 19SH)
The gaming machine related to the feature unit 19SH is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 1 described in the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like, the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko gaming machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stop of the power supply. In this power supply stop processing, a processing of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up to the RAM 102, a data protection processing of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes addition of an error detection code and a process of backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for advancing the game, as well as the state of the backup flag and the error detection code. Even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like, by executing such a power supply stop processing, the CPU 103 can play the game before the power failure after the power failure is restored. You can continue.

On the other hand, the effect control CPU 120 does not back up various data for advancing the effect. Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 cannot continue the effect based on the game information before the power failure after the power failure is restored.

For example, when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like during the round game, the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the effect corresponding to the round game after the power failure is restored. In that case, the effect control CPU 120 does not display the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 in the round game after the power failure is restored, or concretely such as "??? / ????" The acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 are displayed in a mode in which the value is not displayed. Further, the effect control CPU 120 does not display the effect display 20SHEF because the image display device 5 does not execute the effect corresponding to the round game even if a prize is generated in the round game after the power failure is restored. .. On the other hand, if it is possible to identify that the over-winning has occurred in the one-round round game after the power failure is restored, the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the over-winning effect by the image display device 5, while the speakers 8L and 8R And the attacker lamp 9c can be used to produce an over-winning effect. The effect control CPU 120 can identify that an over-winning has occurred, for example, by an effect control command that notifies that the over-winning has occurred.

According to such a configuration, in a situation where the values of the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 cannot be confirmed after the power failure is restored, the effect display 20SHEF is not displayed so that a sense of incongruity does not occur. On the other hand, if an over-winning occurs, it is possible to notify that fact.

Then, the specific display is moved to make the first grant amount display and the second grant amount display invisible or difficult (for example, in the image display device 5, the game ball wins the special variable winning ball device 7). At that time, the display of the effect display 20SHEF is started in the display area close to the special variable winning ball device 7, and the effect display 20SHEF is moved to make the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 invisible or difficult to see. Things etc.).

According to such a configuration, the fact that the game ball has entered the variable winning means can be expressed by the display effect in the display means, and the interest can be improved. Further, since not only the second grant amount display but also the first grant amount display becomes invisible or difficult due to the specific display, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of a sense of discomfort.

(4) In the gaming machine of the above (3), the first grant amount display and the second grant amount display are visible when the specific display is moving, and the first grant amount display and the second grant amount display. When the specific display reaches the display area where the second grant amount display is displayed, it becomes invisible or difficult (for example, in the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2, the effect display 20SHEF is moving. Sometimes it is visible, and when the effect display 20SHEF reaches the display area where the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 are displayed, it becomes invisible or difficult to see, etc.).

According to such a configuration, when the specific display approaches the display area where the first grant amount display and the second grant amount display are displayed, the first grant amount display and the second grant amount display are naturally visible. Therefore, due to the attention to the specific display, it is possible to pay attention to the first grant amount display and the second grant amount display in the state before the value is updated.

(5) In the gaming machine of the above (4), the specific effect executing means said the specific display before reaching the display area where the first grant amount display and the second grant amount display are displayed. Start a specific effect (for example, the effect control CPU 120 starts an over-winning effect before the effect display 20SHEF reaches the display area where the acquired number display 20SHK1 and the planned acquisition number display 20SHK2 are displayed). ..

According to such a configuration, it is possible to recognize in advance that more game media than a predetermined number have won the variable winning means by executing the specific effect, so that the second grant amount display is updated. It is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of discomfort at the time.

(6) In any of the game machines (1) to (5) above, a setting means (for example, a pachinko game) capable of setting any one of a plurality of types of setting values having different advantages for the player. The machine 1 includes a plurality of types of setting values "1" to "6" having different jackpot winning probabilities), and the specific effect executing means is the setting.

(Another example of transition to a time saving state)
Further, in each of the above-mentioned feature portions and each modification, the mode in which the transition to the time saving state is always performed via the big hit state or the small hit state in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is operated is illustrated. , The present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the time saving symbol is derived and displayed as a special symbol, the time saving state may be shifted without operating the special variable winning ball device 7.

As the above-mentioned time-saving symbols, these time-saving symbols may be a part of the out-of-time symbols or a part of the small hit symbols.

In addition, when performing a lottery process related to the derivation display of the time-saving symbol, the lottery may be executed by using a dedicated random number for the time-saving symbol lottery in these lottery processes, or a lottery random number of a missed symbol or a big hit symbol. The lottery may be performed using other lottery random numbers such as the lottery random number of the above, the lottery random number of the small hit symbol, the random number for determining the big hit lottery, and the lottery random number of the fall lottery.

Further, these time-saving symbols may be a plurality of types of symbols, and may be used in combination with a combination of symbols displayed as other symbols such as a small hit symbol or a missed symbol. In this case, it may be determined whether or not the time saving state is changed depending on the small hit symbol used together. However, if a time-saving symbol is won, the presence or absence of a transition to the time-saving state will not be drawn by lottery, and the number of time-savings will not be drawn.

Further, in the case of drawing a time-saving symbol and the set value can be changed, the lottery probability of the time-saving symbol does not change according to the set value, that is, the lottery probability of the time-saving symbol in all the set values. Are the same. However, the lottery probabilities of these time-saving symbols may be different between the first special figure and the second special figure.

In addition, regarding the timing of random number acquisition when drawing a lottery of time-saving symbols, regardless of whether a dedicated random number is used or another random number is used, the timing at the time of winning a prize at the starting port is set. good.

In addition, regarding the winning when the time saving symbol is drawn, the lottery result by the dedicated random number is used as the winning value when the dedicated random number is used, and when the small hit symbol random number is used for the time saving symbol lottery, the specific small hit symbol is used. When the random number value is used as the winning value and the random number for the falling lottery judgment value is used for the lottery of the time saving symbol, the random number for the falling lottery judgment value can be used as the winning value. A time saving area may be provided inside the device 7, and the passing of the game ball through the time saving area may be the winning of the time saving symbol.

In addition, in the case where the lottery of the time saving symbol is performed using the structure, when the small hit symbol also uses the time saving symbol, the variable display number of the time saving state is not changed depending on the presence or absence of passing through the time saving area.

In addition, regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol lottery is performed, when the time-saving symbol lottery uses the missing symbol random number, the specific missing symbol random number value is used as the winning value, and when the jackpot symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, it is specified. The jackpot symbol random number value can be used as the winning value. However, when these random values are used as winning values, the performance other than the jackpot probability differs depending on the setting, so that the set value can be changed only if it cannot be changed.

Further, the determination timing of the lottery result of the time-saving symbol may be the timing after the jackpot determination. It should be noted that the lottery of the time-saving symbols is not executed in the time-saving state or the high-probability time regardless of the random number value used in the lottery, and is executed only in the low-probability low-base state. However, when the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed in the state where the time-saving state is already set, it may be determined for each gaming machine regardless of whether the time-saving number of times is reset or the lottery is not performed.

Further, regarding the number of time reductions when the time reduction symbol is derived and displayed, it is possible to have a plurality of predetermined number of time reductions according to the winning value and the game state. In addition, the conditions for granting the time reduction can be made different for each time reduction symbol.

Further, when the number of time reductions differs depending on the time reduction symbol, the time reduction symbol distribution lottery can be changed between the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

Further, even when the same time saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time saving times given may be different depending on the game state at that time. However, it is necessary that the game state is predetermined.

In addition, the lottery result of "0 times of time saving" can be included as the lottery result of the time saving symbol in the low probability low base state.

Further, the derivation lottery for the time-saving end symbol may be executed, and the number of time reductions may be set to the number of times after the time reduction start until the time-saving end symbol is derived and displayed, or until the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed. That is, in principle, the number of time reductions may not be set and may be unlimited.

Further, the number of time reductions and the granting condition may be different between the time reduction state controlled by the time reduction symbol and the time reduction state controlled by the occurrence of a big hit.

Further, when the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the timing of being controlled to the time-saving state is the time when the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol has elapsed. However, in the case where the small hit symbol random number is used for the lottery of the time saving symbol, when the small hit is won and the time saving state is entered, the end time of the small hit operation is controlled to the time saving state.

Further, in the case of a lottery using the structure, the timing controlled to the time saving state is the timing at the end of the operation of the structure in the gaming state in which the structure is operated.

Further, in the case of a gaming machine controlled to a high-probability low-base state for a predetermined variable display number after a big hit, the high-probability low-base state is set when the game hall is opened, and the high-probability low-base state is the specified number of times. After the variable display of is executed and finished, the time saving state may be controlled.

In addition, when the time saving limiter function is installed and the time saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of times of the time saving limiter is updated. Further, the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol may be set to a time different from the symbol confirmation time of other symbols.
