The predetermined color is characterized in that it is a similar color to the electronic component (for example, LED substrate 303) and the specific member (for example, base member 301).
According to this feature, the translucent member is assimilated with the electronic component or the specific member, so that the electronic component becomes inconspicuous.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the lower left of the game area), a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit, and the second hold indicator 25B displays the second hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the rotation operation of the 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 open 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., which will be described later) are prepared, and the big hit is made according to these. The type is set. As the jackpot type, a jackpot type in which 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 becomes open. 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.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game and enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, 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 pattern 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 having the same mode as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a high accuracy 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).

(Board configuration)
For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is equipped with a main board 11, an effect control board 12, a voice control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, and the like as shown in FIG.

At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (data such as a fluctuation pattern described later, an effect control command described later, and various tables referred to when making various decisions described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. .. The RAM 102 is a backup RAM in which the stored contents are stored for a predetermined period even if a part or all of the RAM 102 is stopped from supplying power to the pachinko gaming machine 1. Note that all or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be expanded into the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102.

The random number circuit 104 updatablely counts numerical data indicating various random number values (game random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The game random number may be one that is updated by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program (one that is updated by software).

The I / O 105 includes, for example, an input port into which various signals (detection signals described later) are input, various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, ordinary symbol display 20, first hold). It is configured to include an output port for transmitting (a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal figure hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The display control unit 123 supplies the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120, so that the effect image is displayed on the image display device 5. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the output voice) to the voice control board 13 in order to output sound synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Or, a lamp signal (a signal for designating a lamp lighting / extinguishing mode) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit for driving the movable body 32.

The voice control board 13 is equipped with various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. Let me.

The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9, drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and turns on / off the game effect lamp 9 in a mode designated by the lamp signal. do. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the audio output and the lighting / extinguishing of the lamp.

The effect control CPU 120 executes audio output, lamp lighting / extinguishing control (sound designation signal, lamp signal supply, etc.), and movable body 32 control (signal supply for operating the movable body 32, etc.). You may do so.

The random number circuit 124 counts updatable numerical data indicating various random number values (random numbers for effect) used to execute various effects. The effect random number may be one that is updated (updated by software) when the effect control CPU 120 executes a predetermined computer program.

The I / O 125 mounted on the effect control board 12 is for transmitting various signals (video signal, sound designation signal, lamp signal) and an input port for taking in the effect control command transmitted from, for example, the main board 11. It is configured to include the output port of.

Boards other than the main board 11, such as the effect control board 12, the sound control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also referred to as sub-boards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Following the special symbol process processing, the normal symbol process processing is executed (step S26). By executing the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, the CPU 103 manages the execution and hold of the normal figure game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passing of the game ball through the passing gate 41). It enables opening control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per-figure 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. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random 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 processing for setting the special symbol to be changed in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol are performed. 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.

(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. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

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

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

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read effect control command may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that which effect control command is received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process 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 processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light 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. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the read-ahead notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, and setting for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

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

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

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

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

(Explanation of the feature part regarding the set value)
Hereinafter, the feature portion related to the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

Although not shown, the main board 11 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is mounted on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a state of being housed in a board case configured to be openable by the first member and the second member. ing. Further, although not shown, the main board 11 has a lock switch for switching the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to a changeable set value change state, and a jackpot which will be described later in the set value change state. A setting changeover switch that functions as a setting switch for changing a set value such as a winning probability (ball output rate) and an open sensor that detects the opening of a gaming machine frame are provided. The set value change state in the present embodiment is also a state in which the staff of the game hall or the like can confirm the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (set value confirmation state).

Operation units such as these lock switches and setting changeover switches that can be operated by the staff of the amusement park and the like are provided in the setting changeover main body unit and are housed in the board case together with the main board 11. The lock switch and the setting changeover switch are exposed to the back side through an opening formed in the back surface of the board case so that the lock switch and the setting changeover switch can be operated without opening the board case.

A board case containing a lock switch and a setting changeover switch is provided on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, the lock switch and the setting changeover switch are extremely difficult or impossible to operate when the gaming machine frame is closed, and can be operated by opening the gaming machine frame using a predetermined door key. .. Further, since the lock switch requires the operation of the setting key possessed by the staff of the game hall or the like, only the administrator who possesses the setting key can operate the lock switch. The lock switch is also a switch capable of performing an ON / OFF switching operation by a setting key. In the present embodiment, a mode in which the door key and the setting key are separate keys is illustrated, but these may be shared by one key.

The display monitor is connected to the main board 11 and is arranged on the upper part of the board case. That is, the display monitor is arranged in front of the main board 11 in the board case when visually recognizing it. Since the main board 11 cannot be visually recognized when the gaming machine frame is not opened, the front surface when the main board 11 is visually recognized is the back surface side of the gaming board 2 when the gaming machine frame is opened. This is the front of the pachinko machine 1 and is different from the front of the pachinko machine 1. As described above, the display monitor is arranged in front of the gaming board 2 when the back surface side of the gaming machine 2 is visually recognized in the open state of the gaming machine frame. However, the front surface when the main board 11 is visually recognized and the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be common.

The display monitor includes a first display unit, a second display unit, a third display unit, and a fourth display unit. The first display unit to the fourth display unit of the display monitor are each composed of seven segments composed of seven segments drawing the character "8" and dots arranged at the lower right side of the seven segments. .. The first display unit to the fourth display unit of the display monitor can be lit or blinked in various colors such as red, blue, green, yellow, and white. It is also possible to display different colors or so-called rainbows while changing these colors in a very short cycle.

A game information display unit may be provided as a predetermined position of the game board 2 of the pachinko game machine 1, for example, at a lower left position of the game area. A round display, a right-handed lamp, a probability variation lamp, and a time saving lamp are collectively arranged in the game information display unit. The round display can display the number of rounds of the jackpot game and the jackpot type during the jackpot game. The right-handed lamp lights up in a game state in which the game ball is launched toward the right game area, such as a low-accuracy high-base state as a time-saving state or a big hit game state. The probabilistic lamp lights up when it is in the probabilistic state. The time saving lamp lights up when the time saving state is reached. The round display is composed of 5 segments (LEDs).

The pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured such that the winning probability (ball output rate) of a big hit changes according to a set value. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, the jackpot winning probability (ball output rate) is changed by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value. The set value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is. Further, as for the set value, 6 which is the largest value is the most disadvantageous value for the amusement park side, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the more advantageous the value is for the amusement park side. If the ball output rate changes according to the set value, for example, the jackpot probability may change depending on the set value, and although the jackpot probability is constant, the number of rounds in the jackpot game state changes depending on the set value. May be good. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 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. 8-3 shows an example of determining the moving image data and the text display process table according to the reach effect content. In the reach effect of super reach such as SP reach A and SP reach B, it is possible to execute an effect by displaying a moving image using moving image data and an effect by displaying a text image using text image data. The period in which the effect of displaying the moving image is executed and the period in which the effect of displaying the text image is executed may be partly or wholly the same period or may include different periods. The text display process table is a table in which process data used for display control is set when displaying a text image in which a plurality of character images are combined, for example.

In the determination example shown in FIG. 8-3, the moving image data is determined to be one of 91AKD01, 91AKD02, 91AKD11, and 91AKD12 according to the reach effect content, and is determined to be one of the text display process tables 91AKT01, 91AKT02, 91AKT11, and 91AKT12. Will be done. Of these, the moving image data is determined in a one-to-one correspondence with the reach effect content. For example, when the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)", the moving image data 91AKD01 is determined. When the reach effect content is "SP reach B (big hit)", the moving image data 91AKD02 is determined. When the reach effect content is "SP reach A (loss)", the moving image data 91AKD11 is determined. When the reach effect content is "SP reach B (loss)", the moving image data 91AKD12 is determined. On the other hand, in the text display process table, there are cases where it is possible to determine in common even with different reach effect contents, and there are cases where it cannot be determined. For example, when the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)", the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT01 is 30/100, and the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT02 is 70/100. When the reach effect content is "SP reach B (big hit)", the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT11 is 20/100, and the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT12 is 80/100. When the reach effect content is "SP reach A (loss)", the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT01 is 80/100, and the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT02 is 20/100. When the reach effect content is "SP reach B (loss)", the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT11 is 70/100, and the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT12 is 30/100.

The text display process tables 91AKT01 and 91AKT02 can be determined when the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)" or "SP reach A (loss)", and the reach effect content is "SP reach B (big hit)" or. In the case of "SP reach B (loss)", it cannot be determined. The text display process tables 91AKT11 and 91AKT12 can be determined when the reach effect content is "SP reach B (big hit)" or "SP reach B (loss)", and the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)" or. In the case of "SP reach A (loss)", it cannot be determined. As described above, the text display process tables 91AKT01 and 91AKT02 are used to control the display of the text image when the reach effect of the SP reach A is executed. The text display process tables 91AKT11 and 91AKT12 are used to control the display of the text image when the reach effect of the SP reach B is executed.

When the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)", the effect by moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD01 is executed, and when the reach effect content is "SP reach A (loss)", the moving image is executed. An effect by displaying a moving image using the data 91AKD11 is executed. A text image using either the text display process table 91AKT01 or 91AKT02 is added to the moving image displayed using the moving image data 91AKD01 and the moving image displayed using the moving image data 91AKD11. It can be displayed. When the reach effect content is "SP reach B (big hit)", the effect by moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD02 is executed, and when the reach effect content is "SP reach B (loss)", the moving image is executed. An effect by displaying a moving image using the data 91AKD12 is executed. A text image using either the text display process table 91AKT11 or 91AKT12 is added to the moving image displayed using the moving image data 91AKD02 and the moving image displayed using the moving image data 91AKD12. It can be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to add and display a text image using a common text display process table to a plurality of moving images displayed using different moving image data.

The start time and end time in the text display period may be specified by using the elapsed time from the start of displaying the moving image in the reach effect, or by using the elapsed time from the start of the variable display. You may. However, if the display content of the text image is highly related to the display content of the moving image, the start time and end time in the text display period will be used using the elapsed time from the start of the display of the moving image. It is desirable to specify. Since the elapsed time from the start of the variable display includes, for example, the elapsed time before the variable display becomes the reach mode, the moving image even if it is a common reach effect due to the variable display effect before the variable display becomes the reach mode. The timing at which the display of is started may be different. Even in such a case, if the start time and end time in the text display period are specified using the elapsed time from the start of displaying the moving image, the timing at which the specific image in the moving image is displayed and the timing. The timing at which a specific text image is displayed can be easily synchronized, and the interlocking between the display of the moving image and the display of the text image can be enhanced. The text image designation information specifies the text image data used for displaying the text image so as to be identifiable. For example, the text image designation information may be any information that specifies the storage address, read address, data size, etc. of the text image data in the storage area 91AKM13. Alternatively, the text image specification information uses an arbitrary character code such as ASCII code, UNICODE (UTF-16 or UTF-8, etc.), JIS code (Shift_JIS code, etc.), and the content of the text image to be displayed. May be the information that identifies. The text display setting information is information that specifies that the display mode of the text image can be set by the display style information, the display layout information, and other metadata of the text image to be displayed. The text display process table may be described using a predetermined markup language such as TTML (Timed Text Markup Language). In addition, the text display process table may be set as long as the text image designation information and the text display setting information can be set in association with each other during the text display period by using arbitrary table data.

Further, in the text display period from the timing T02 to the timing T03, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA02 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKA02. As a result, a common text image can be displayed in a common display mode. On the other hand, in the text display process table 91AKT01, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA03 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB03 in accordance with the text display period from the timing T04 to the timing T05. Display it. In the text display process table 91AKT02, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA13 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB13 in accordance with the text display period from the timing T04 to the timing T05. Thereby, different text images can be displayed in different display modes. On the other hand, in the text display process table 91AKT11, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA21 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB01 in accordance with the text display period from the timing T11 to the timing T15. Display it. Further, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA22 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKAB02 corresponding to the text display period from the timing T11 to the timing T12. In this case, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA21 can be displayed in the same display mode as the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA01. Further, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA22 can be displayed in the same display mode as the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA02. In this way, even different text images added to different moving images may be displayed in a common display mode according to the setting data based on the common text display setting information. Alternatively, in the text display process table 91AKT01, the text image specified by the text image designation information 91AKA05 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB05 corresponding to the text display period from the timing T07 to the timing T09. Let me. In the text display process table 91AKT02, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA05 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB15 corresponding to the text display period from the timing T07 to the timing T09. In this way, even a common text image may be displayed in a different display mode depending on the text display setting information.

In the text display process table, text image designation information and text display setting information are set in association with each other in a plurality of text display periods. Further, in a plurality of text display process tables, at least a part of the text image designation information and the text display setting information set in association with the plurality of text display periods can be set as common information. , Part or all of the information can be set as different information. With these settings, the first component and the second component related to the text image, such as the display content and display mode of the text image, can be individually changed and displayed.

In the text display setting information 91AKB01 shown in FIG. 8-6 (A), the display color of the text image is set to change stepwise from # FF0040 to # 4000FF by the color field. The text display process table 91AKT01 shown in FIG. 8-4 (A1) and the text display process table 91AKT02 shown in FIG. 8-4 (A2) display text in the text display period from timing T01 to timing T05. The text image of the display mode set by the setting information 91AKB01 is displayed. In the text display process table 91AKT11 shown in FIG. 8-4 (B), the text image of the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB01 is displayed in the text display period from the timing T11 to the timing T15. In these cases, when the text image of the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB01 is displayed as a text image corresponding to the display content that is the common first component in the corresponding text display period, The display mode, which is the second component of the text image, such as the display color of the text image, can be changed according to the elapsed time. For example, the display color of the text image set by the color field may be changed depending on the reach effect content or the like even when the same text image is specified by the text image designation information. .. In this case, whether or not to change the display color of the text image at a different rate depending on whether or not it is controlled in an advantageous state, for example, whether or not the display result of the variable display is a "big hit". It may be determined, or it may be determined to be one of a plurality of display colors. Further, for example, the display color of the text image set by the color field is changed according to the execution result of the effect control program by the CPU 91AK131 even when the same text image is specified by the text image designation information. It may be possible. In this case, the VDP91AK132 may change the display color of the text image set by the color field to a different display color based on the display control command from the CPU91AK131, the register setting, and the like. In this way, the display mode such as the display style of the text image can be changed by simply changing a part of the data related to the text image included in the text display process table, so that the increase in data capacity and the increase in processing load can be prevented. , Various text images can be displayed. When changing the display color of the text image, other display styles may be changed accordingly. For example, when the display color of the text image is white, the display of the text image is easy for the player to see, and when the display color of the text image is red, the display of the text image is difficult for the player to recognize. Tend. Therefore, when the display color of the text image is changed to red, the text image set by, for example, the fontSize field is displayed so that the font size is larger than that when the display color of the text image is white. The size may be changed. As a specific example, a text image displayed with a font size of 10.5px when the display color is white is displayed with a font size of 11px when the display color is changed to red. It would be nice if it could be changed to. This makes it possible to display a text image that is easy for the player to see while suppressing the player's discomfort in displaying the text image.

FIG. 8-7 shows an execution example of an effect in which a text image is displayed using the text display process table. In this execution example, the text image is displayed according to a plurality of text display periods in accordance with the moving image display when the reach effect of SP reach A is executed. In the reach effect of SP reach A, when the display result of the variable display is "big hit", the moving image is displayed using the moving image data 91AKD01, and when the display result of the variable display is "missing", the moving image is displayed. A moving image is displayed using the data 91AKD11. In the moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD01 and the moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD11, a production display that is a battle effect in which a common ally character and an enemy character compete against each other is performed. Until the timing of notification, the contents of the common effect display may be used. Further, when the display result of the variable display is "big hit", the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT02 is high, and when the display result of the variable display is "missing", the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT01 is high. Will be higher. Therefore, in the reach effect of SP Reach A, even during the moving image display period, which is the content of the common effect display, the jackpot expectation is different depending on the display content of the text image according to the text display process table. Can be done.

The effect execution example 91AKAD11 shown in FIG. 8-7 (A) is an effect content common to the text display process tables 91AKT01 and 91AKT02, and corresponds to the text display period from the timing T01 to the timing T05, and the text image designation information 91AKA01.

In the effect control microprocessor 91AK100, if the text image renderer 91AK146 of the VDP91AK132 executes an image conversion process for displaying a text image in a display mode including a display style and a display layout specified by the text display designation information. good.

Further, in the effect execution example 91AKD11 shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA02 corresponds to the text display period from the timing T02 to the timing T03, and the text image is the text display setting information 91AKAB02. It is displayed in the display mode set by. In this case, the text image indicating the line "If this character wins ..." specified by the text image designation information 91AKA02 has a display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKA02, for example, the origin coordinate is (250,600). ), Font family is BB_mincho, a typeface classified as Mincho typeface, font size is 36px, normal line width corresponding to normal character thickness, text image display color is #FFFFFF, background display color is # 220C0C , The components in the display of the text image are controlled so that the normal font corresponding to the normal character style, the character arrangement is left-justified, and the character decoration is not set.

The effect execution example 91AKD21 shown in FIG. 8-7 (B1) includes an effect content different from that of the text display process table 91AKT02 when the text display process table 91AKT01 is used, and during the text display period from timing T04 to timing T05. Correspondingly, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA03 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKA03. In this case, the text image indicating the line "chance !!" specified by the text image designation information 91AKA03 has, for example, the origin coordinate (250,600) and the font family as the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKAB03. Typeface classified as Gothic typeface called CC_gothic, font size is 60px, normal line width corresponding to normal character thickness, text image display color is # 000000, background display color is #FFFFFF, character style is normal The components in the text image are controlled so that the corresponding normal font, character placement is centered, and character decoration is unset. This text image has the same origin coordinates and character decoration as the text image specified by the text image designation information 91AKA02, and has a font family, font size, character thickness, text image display color, and background display. The color, character style, and character arrangement have been changed. In this way, when the text image specified by the text image designation information is displayed, a part of the data corresponding to the plurality of fields included in the text display setting information may be changed and displayed. ..

The effect execution example 91AKD22 shown in FIG. 8-7 (B2) includes an effect content different from that of the text display process table 91AKT01 when the text display process table 91AKT02 is used, and during the text display period from timing T04 to timing T05. Correspondingly, the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA13 is displayed in the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKA13. In this case, the text image indicating the line "super hot" specified by the text image designation information 91AKA13 has, for example, the origin coordinate (250,600) and the font family DD_mincho as the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKAB13. Typeface classified as Mincho typeface, font size is 72px, character thickness is bold corresponding to bold, text image display color is gold corresponding to "gold", background display color is # 000000, The components in the text image are controlled so that the character style is the normal typeface corresponding to normal, the character arrangement is the center, and the character decoration is the effect display setting for golden display by effect_gold. Compared with the text image specified by the text image designation information 91AKA02, this text image has only the origin coordinates in common, and the font family, font size, character thickness, text image display color, background display color, etc. The character style, character arrangement, and character decoration have been changed. In this way, when displaying the text image specified by the text image specification information, the data to be changed and the data not to be changed are individually set among the data corresponding to the plurality of fields included in the text display setting information. It may be possible. Compared with the text image designated by the text image designation information 91AKA01, all the settings of this text image, including the origin coordinates, have been changed. In this way, when the text image designated by the text image designation information is displayed, all of the data corresponding to the plurality of fields included in the text display setting information may be changed and displayed. When displaying the text image specified by the text image specification information, if 1 data is changed and displayed among the data corresponding to the plurality of fields included in the text display setting information, 1 data is displayed. Other data associated in advance may also be modified and displayed. For example, when the display color of the text image is changed to the gold color corresponding to "gold" and displayed, it is sufficient that the character decoration can be changed to the effect display setting for the gold color display by effect_gold and displayed.

As for the display color and background display color of the text image, for each display color of R (red), G (green), and B (blue), for example, the brightness (gradation) is any one of "0" to "255". It can be set in 256 steps so that it becomes a level. In the text display setting information, the field data constituting the color field and the backgroundColor field has a data format common to the field data constituting the color field and the backgroundColor field in the character display setting information used for displaying the character image, for example. I just need to be there. Further, the origin coordinates when displaying a text image can be set by a combination of the x-coordinate in the horizontal direction and the y-coordinate in the vertical direction on the screen of the image display device 5. In the text display setting information, the field data constituting the origin field may have a data format common to the field data constituting the origin field in, for example, the character display setting information. In this way, some or all of the field data included in the text display setting information is common data with the field data included in the setting information used for displaying the effect image different from the text image, such as the character display setting information. It may have a format. With such text display setting information, it is sufficient that the second component related to the text image, such as the display style and display layout of the text image, can be changed by using the information common to the effect image different from the text image. As a result, it is possible to reduce the processing load of changing the second component related to the text image, such as the display style and display layout of the text image.

The font family that can be set when displaying a text image is not set when displaying a character image. In the text display setting information, the field data constituting the fontFamily field may be any unique field data not included in the character display setting information. Further, instead of the font size that can be set when displaying a text image, the character size may be set when displaying a character image. In the text display setting information, the field data constituting the fontSize field corresponds to the field data constituting the characterSize field in the character display setting information, but may have a unique field format. In this way, some or all of the field data included in the text display setting information is different from the field data included in the setting information used for displaying the effect image different from the text image, such as the character display setting information. It may have a data format. With such text display setting information, it is possible to change the second component related to the text image, such as the display style and display layout of the text image, by using unique information that is not used in the effect image different from the text image. May be good. As a result, it is possible to flexibly change the second component related to the text image, such as the display style and display layout of the text image, to display various text images.

When, for example, a gold color corresponding to "gold" is set as the display color of the text image, the character decoration becomes the effect display setting for the gold color display by effect_gold. When "gold" is set by the color field in the text display setting information, effect_gold is set by the textDecoration field to display a glossy text image and display gold around the text image. It is possible to add an effect image for display. In the effect execution example 91AKD22 shown in FIG. 8-7 (B2), when a specific text image indicating a line of "super hot" is specified by the text image designation information 91A13, the text display setting information 91AKB13 is used for gold display. By setting the display style of, a specific text image showing the line "super hot" is displayed with gloss, and an effect image for gold display is displayed around the specific text image. .. As a result, it is possible to appropriately control the display so as to enhance the impression of the player on the display of the text image and to improve the interest of the effect by the text image display.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the effect of the moving image display using the moving image data is executed, the player can easily recognize the effect content by adding the effect of the text image display using the text image data. Therefore, it becomes easy to provide information that is different from the content of the production. In this case, in the data configuration in which the text image data is compressed, encoded, and multiplexed as the video data included in the moving image data, the contour is displayed in the text image display using the text image data that has been decompressed and decoded and reproduced. May cause problems such as blurring and deterioration of display quality. Further, when different moving image data are prepared according to the display content of the text image display added to the moving image display, the data capacity of the moving image data tends to increase, and the processing load of the image data also increases. It will be easier. When a special compression coding process or decompression decoding process is executed in order to prevent deterioration of the display quality in the text image display, the processing load of the image data may further increase.

In the feature units 91AK and 92AK, when the effect of moving image display using the moving image data read from the storage area 91AKM11 is executed, the effect of displaying the text image using the text image data read from the storage area 91AKM13 is added. By doing so, it becomes possible to easily display various text images and execute them with high quality, and it becomes easy for the player to recognize the contents of the production. In addition, since the effect of displaying the text image using the text image data stored separately from the moving image data is added, the data capacity of the moving image data increases and the processing load of the image data increases. , Appropriate display control that can be prevented as much as possible becomes possible.

The text image display added to the moving image display using the moving image data is controlled by using the text display process table. Similarly, the moving image display is controlled using the moving image display process table, the character image display is controlled using the character display process table, and the audio output is controlled using the audio output process data. In the text display process table, text image designation information and text display setting information are set in association with each other in a plurality of text display periods. The text image designation information specifies the display content of the text image according to the text image data as the first component related to the text image. The text display setting information sets the display mode of the text image, such as the display style and display layout of the text image, as the second component related to the text image. In the VDP91AK132 of the effect control microprocessor 91AK100, for example, the text image renderer 91AK146 displays the text image specified by the text image designation information in a display mode including the display style and display layout set by the text display setting information. It is possible to execute image conversion processing for this purpose. As a result, in the display period of the text image added to the moving image 1, the display content of the text image as the first component and the display mode of the text image as the second component are changed according to the elapsed time and the like. Make it changeable. By making it possible to change the first component and the second component related to the text image added to the moving image of 1, various text images can be displayed easily and with high quality, and the data capacity and processing load can be increased. Appropriate display control is possible so that growth is prevented.

When the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)", one of the text display process tables 91AKT01 and 91AKT02 was used when the effect by moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD01 was executed. It is possible to add a text image and display it. When the reach effect content is "SP reach A (loss)", one of the text display process tables 91AKT01 and 91AKT02 is used when the effect by moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD11 is executed. It is possible to add a text image and display it. Further, when the reach effect content is "SP reach B (big hit)", one of the text display process tables 91AKT11 and 91AKT12 is displayed when the effect by moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD02 is executed. It is possible to add the used text image and display it. When the reach effect content is "SP reach B (loss)", one of the text display process tables 91AKT11 and 91AKT12 is used when the effect by moving image display using the moving image data 91AKD12 is executed. It is possible to add a text image and display it. In this way, it is possible to add and display a text image using data related to a common text image, such as a common text display process table, to a plurality of moving images that are different from each other. By adding a text image using common data to multiple moving images and making it displayable, various text images can be displayed easily and with high quality, and the increase in data capacity and processing load is prevented. Appropriate display control becomes possible.

In the text display process table 91AKT02, a plurality of text images indicating the line "super hot" are provided by the text image designation information 91AKA13 and the text display setting information 91AKB13 set in association with the text display period from the timing T04 to the timing T05. The display style and the like may be changed and displayed at the timing of. A text image showing the line "super hot" corresponds to a specific first component group, for example, a text image whose display content suggests that the display result of the variable display has a high rate of becoming a "big hit". It may be a text image. In this way, when displaying the specific text image corresponding to the specific first component group, the second component such as the display mode related to the specific text image may be changed at a plurality of timings.

FIG. 8-8 shows an example of display control when the display style of the text image showing the line "super hot" can be changed at a plurality of timings. In this display control example, in the text display period from timing T04 to timing T05, the display color is black and the character decoration is not set in the text display period from timing T04 to timing T041, and the text from timing T041 to timing T042 is set. In the display period, the display color is gold and the character decoration is not set, and in the text display period from timing T042 to timing T05, the display color is gold and the character decoration is the effect display setting for gold display. As the display style of the text image common to the text display period up to timing T04 and timing T05, the font family is classified into the Mincho typeface of DD_mincho by the fontFamily field, and the font size is 72px by the fontSize field. It is set.

FIG. 8-8 (A) shows a case where a text image with a line of "super hot" is displayed in the text display period from timing T04 to timing T041. As the display style of the text image in this text display period, the display color of the text image is set to black corresponding to # 000000 by the color field, and the character decoration is set to no setting corresponding to none by the textDecoration field. As a result, the display mode including the display style of the text image showing the line "super hot" is controlled so that the display color is black and the character decoration is not set.

FIG. 8-8 (B) shows a case where a text image with a line of "super hot" is displayed in the text display period from timing T041 to timing T042. As the display style of the text image in this text display period, the display color of the text image is set to gold corresponding to "gold" by the color field, and the character decoration is set to no setting corresponding to none by the textDecoration field. As a result, the display mode including the display style of the text image showing the line "super hot" is controlled so that the display color is gold and the character decoration is not set. When the display color of the text image is set to gold, a glossy text image can be displayed by, for example, a gradation display of the text image. However, if the display of the text image is only glossy, it may be difficult for the player to recognize the golden display.

FIG. 8-8 (C) shows a case where a text image with a line of "super hot" is displayed in the text display period from timing T042 to timing T05. As the display style of the text image in this text display period, the color field sets the display color of the text image to gold corresponding to "gold", and the textDecoration field sets the effect display setting for gold display corresponding to effect_gold. Will be done. As a result, the display mode including the display style of the text image showing the line "super hot" is controlled so that the display color is gold and the character decoration is the effect display setting for gold display. In addition to setting the display color of the text image to gold, if the text decoration of the text image is set to the effect display setting for gold display, in addition to the gradation display of the text image, for example, the border of the outline in the text image It is possible to add an effect image around the text image and display it by displaying the display color of or shadow, the boundary display by bevel or embossing, the layer style that adds brilliance, or a combination of some or all of them. As a result, in addition to the display of the text image having glossiness, by adding an effect image around the text image and displaying it, it becomes easier for the player to recognize the golden display, and the game for displaying the text image. It is possible to enhance the impression of a person.

In the text display process tables 91AKT01 and 91AKT02, a part of the text image is separated from the other part by the text image designation information 91AKA02 and the text display setting information 91AKB02 set in association with the text display period from the timing T02 to the timing T03. It may be displayed in a different display style. The text image designation information 91AKA02 designates a text image of the line "If this character wins ...". The text display setting information 91AKB02 displays a part of the text image "character" in the text information indicating the line "If this character wins ..." with a display color and background display of the text image different from the other parts. You can set the color and character style.

FIG. 8-9 shows a display example in which a part of the text image has a display style different from that of the other parts. In this display example, a part of the text image "Character" is displayed so that the display color is white, the background display color is black, and the character style is italic, and the other part of the text image is displayed in black. Display so that the background display color is white and the character style is normal. In the text display setting information 91AKB02, the display color of the text image corresponds to #FFFFFF by the color field, and the background display color corresponds to black by the backgroundColor field, corresponding to a part of the text image called "character". The fontStyle field sets each italic whose character style corresponds to italic. Further, the text display setting information 91AKB02 corresponds to other parts of the text image, the display color of the text image is black corresponding to # 000000 by the color field, the background display color is white corresponding to #FFFFFF, and the fontStyle field is used. Set the normal font whose character style corresponds to normal. As a result, the player's impression of the display of the text image can be enhanced by displaying a part of the text image in a display style different from that of the other parts.

In the display of a text image constituting a character string in which a plurality of character images are combined, a part to be displayed in a display style different from other parts may be changed according to the progress of the effect by the moving image display. For example, when a musical piece is played or a dialogue is played back along with a moving image display, a part of the text image corresponding to the progress is displayed in a display style different from other parts such as a specific color display or a highlight display. You may let me. The display style may be changed so that a part of the text image is faded in or faded out according to the situation in which the performance of the music or the voice reproduction of the dialogue progresses. A part of the text image to be displayed in a display style different from other parts is changed according to the elapsed time in arbitrary production execution, not limited to the situation where the performance of the music or the voice reproduction of the dialogue progresses with the moving image display. It may be possible. As a result, in the display of the text image, the part to be displayed in a display style different from the other parts is changed according to the progress of the effect, so that the player's impression of the display of the text image can be enhanced.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above embodiment, and is shown in the above embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may have a part of the configuration.

As a specific example, in the display period of the text image added to the moving image 1, the display content of the text image as the first component, the display mode of the text image as the second component, the elapsed time, etc. One of the display control that can be changed according to the display and the display control that can be displayed by adding a text image using data related to a common text image to a plurality of moving images is executed. And the other may not be executed. As the first component and the second component related to the text image, any component may be changed with respect to the display content and display mode of the text image, for example. It is possible to change any component related to the display of the text image in place of part or all of the display content and display mode of the text image, or in addition to part or all of the display content and display mode of the text image. You may. For example, the time interval and movement width for updating the display position when moving and displaying a text image, the enlargement and reduction ratios when displaying a text image in an enlarged or reduced manner, and these enlargement and reduction ratios according to the elapsed time. It suffices if any component that can be set with respect to the display of the text image, such as the time interval for updating the enlargement ratio and the reduction ratio and the amount of change, can be changed.

When displaying a text image corresponding to a common display content, the one that changes the display mode of the text image is the text image set by the text display setting information 91AKB01 shown in FIG. 8-6 (A). It is not limited to those that change the display color, and any display style, display layout, and other display modes may be changed. For example, in the corresponding text display period, the text image of the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB01 is replaced with the display color of the text image, or in addition to the display color of the text image, the origin coordinates, the font family, and the like. Any display mode such as font size, character thickness, background display color, character style, character arrangement, decorative display, and a combination of some or all of these may be changed. The text image of the display mode set by the text display setting information different from the text display setting information 91AKB01 may be capable of changing the display mode different from the text image of the display mode set by the text display setting information 91AKB01. ..

The text image data is not limited to the data stored in the storage area 91AKM13 as data different from the moving image data, and at least a part of the text image data may be included in the moving image data. Text image data for displaying highly designed characters, such as grass type and writing style, is multiplexed or compressed and encoded as part of the moving image data, and the video data separated from the moving image data is decompressed. A text image of a specific aspect may be displayed by decoding or the like. In this case, the data relating to the text image of the specific aspect is included in the moving image data and stored in the storage area 91AKM11. As described above, the data related to the text image includes the specific text image-related data included in the moving image data and stored in the storage area 91AKM11 and the normal text image-related data stored in the storage area 91AKM13. You may.

The text display setting information included in the text display process table is composed of field data corresponding to a part of origin, fontFamily, fontSize, fontWeight, color, backgroundColor, fontStyle, textAlign, and textDecoration as data corresponding to multiple fields. It may be configured to include field data different from these. For example, when the storage address, read address, data size, etc. of the text image data in the storage area 91AKM13 are specified by the text image designation information, the text image data stored in the storage area 91AKM13 is read out without using the font data. , The corresponding text image can be displayed. In this case, since the text display setting information does not require field data related to font settings, it may be configured without including field data related to font settings such as fontFamily, fontSize, fontWeight, and fontStyle. On the other hand, in this case, in order to set the display size of the text image, the text display setting information may be configured to include separate field data related to the text display setting, for example, textSize.

As the scalable font data such as the outline font data and the vector font data stored in the storage area 91AKM13, only the data corresponding to the text image used in the display effect in the pachinko game machine 1 may be prepared, for example, general-purpose Japan. Data corresponding to a text image, such as word font data, which is not limited to the text image used in the display effect in the pachinko game machine 1 may be prepared. When only the font data corresponding to the text image used in the display effect is stored in the storage area 91AKM13, it is possible to prevent an increase in the data capacity when the amount of the text image used in the display effect is small. When general-purpose font data corresponding to a text image that is not limited to the text image used in the display effect is stored in the storage area 91AKM13, the font data can be easily reused. It is possible to reduce the burden, and it is possible to prevent an increase in the data capacity when a large amount of text images are used in the display effect.

As the second component related to the text image, the specific text image whose display mode including the display style and display layout of the text image can be changed at a plurality of timings is not limited to the text image showing the line "super hot". , Any text image preset as a specific text image corresponding to the specific first component group may be used. For example, among a plurality of types of text images, a text image prepared in advance for displaying the lyrics of a musical piece or a text image prepared in advance for displaying subtitles of a moving image may be used as a specific text image. In this way, a plurality of second components such as a display mode are provided for a specific text image corresponding to a voice effect or a display effect in which the effect content changes according to the elapsed time, such as a reproduction output of a musical piece or a reproduction display of a moving image. It may be changeable at the timing. Alternatively, a text image for which a specific display mode is set, such as a text image for rainbow display in which the display color of the text image is rainbow, or a text image for motif display in which the pattern or character decoration of the text image is a cherry blossom pattern. May be used as a specific text image. Alternatively, the text image of the display content suggesting that the display result of the variable display is not limited to the text image of the display content suggesting that the ratio of "big hit" is high, and suggesting that the ratio of being controlled to an arbitrary advantageous state is high. May be used as a specific text image. The advantageous state is not limited to the jackpot game state, and may include a special game state such as a time saving state or a probability change state. In addition, the maximum number of round games that can be executed in the jackpot game state is the number of first rounds (for example, "15") that is larger than the number of second rounds (for example, "7"), and it can be executed in a time-saving state. The upper limit of the variable display is the first number (for example, "100"), which is larger than the second number (for example, "50"), and the jackpot probability in the probability variation state is higher than the second probability (for example, 1/50). The number of consecutive chans, which is one probability (for example, 1/20) and the number of times that the jackpot game state is repeatedly controlled without being controlled in the normal state, is larger than the number of consecutive chans (for example, "5"). It may include a more favorable gaming situation for the player, such as part or all of the number of consecutive chans (eg, "10").

The glossy text image is not limited to the case where the display color of the text image is set to gold corresponding to "gold", for example, silver, copper, other metallic colors, or any color different from metallic colors. It may include the case where the display color of is set. The display color of the text image is not limited, and when displaying a preset specific text image, the specific text image may be displayed in a glossy display mode. When displaying an arbitrary text image with glossiness, the textDecoration field in the text display setting information should be set so that an effect image can be added around the text image and displayed. Just do it.

When the text image is displayed in rainbow, a plurality of display colors may be sequentially changed and displayed within a predetermined range such as the coordinates in characters and the display time in the display of the text image. For example, if the display color of the text image is set to the rainbow color corresponding to "rainbow" by the color field in the text display setting information, a different display color can be changed for each in-character coordinate of the text image. , Rainbow display should be possible. For example, in the in-character coordinates of 1, the display color is changed from red to orange, then green and then light blue, then blue, and then blue-purple to magenta, depending on the elapsed time. In addition, a plurality of display colors may be changed in sequence. At this time, in consideration of the fact that red is a color that gives a strong impression to the human eye and that the change in blue becomes dark, the brightness corresponding to each display color in the rainbow display is adjusted for each. The display colors in the in-character coordinates may be changed in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, bluish purple, and magenta. After reddish purple, it is sufficient to return to red and change the display color. As a result, the player can smoothly and clearly recognize the change in the display color. In this way, when a special element is set as a character image component, such as when the display color of the text image is set to the rainbow color corresponding to "rainbow" by the color field in the text display setting information, the text display process Even if it is possible to display a text image in which multiple display colors are sequentially changed within the range of the intra-character coordinates and display time of the text image specified by the text image specification information corresponding to the text display period included in the table. good. As a result, it is possible to appropriately control the display so as to enhance the impression of the player on the display of the text image and to improve the interest of the effect by the text image display. The display of the text image may be displayed as a rainbow as a whole by sequentially changing different display colors according to the coordinates within the characters of the text image. Alternatively, the display of the text image may be changed to a rainbow display according to the elapsed time by sequentially changing the common display color for all the in-character coordinates. In this way, a text image in which a plurality of display colors are sequentially changed may be displayed within a predetermined range of either the in-character coordinates or the display time.

The first component and the second component related to the text image may be changed to different components depending on whether or not a specific motion of the player is detected, or a plurality of components may be changed at different ratios. It may be changed to either. The player's specific operation that makes it possible to change the first component and the second component related to the text image is, for example, a push operation or a pull operation on the operation rod of the stick controller 31A which is a V controller, and other operation rods of the stick controller 31A. It may be an arbitrary operation of tilting the push button 31b, or an operation of pressing the push button 31b. The movement of the player is not limited to what can be detected, and is based on the detection result of any change or difference in the detection target, for example, the execution state of processing or control in the detection target, the shape, pattern, or color change of the detection target. Therefore, the first component and the second component related to the text image may be changed. A detection device capable of detecting an operation, change, difference, etc. in a detection target can mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically change the state of the detection target, such as an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a CCD sensor, or a CMOS sensor. Any configuration that can be detected may be used. Alternatively, the state of the detection target may be detected by analyzing the result of photographing the detection target using a predetermined camera (video type motion capture). As an example of detecting the state of the detection target using a camera, the screen display state of the mobile terminal may be detected, and the display content and display mode of the text image may be changed based on the detection result.

In the effect of displaying a text image using text image data, a part or all of the effect may be executed as a setting suggestion effect that can suggest a set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, when the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)", the text display process tables 91AKT01 and 91AKT02 may be determined at different ratios depending on the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In such a case, the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT01 is 35/100 (= 35%) if the set value is 1, and 30/100 (= 30%) if the set value is 2. Yes, if the set value is 3, it is 25/100 (= 25%), if the set value is 4, it is 20/100 (= 20%), and if the set value is 5, it is 15/100 (=). 15%), and if the set value is 6, it may be set to be 10/100 (= 10%). Correspondingly, the determination ratio of the text display process table 91AKT02 is 65/100 (= 65%) when the set value is 1, and 70/100 (= 70%) when the set value is 2. Yes, if the set value is 3, it is 75/100 (= 75%), if the set value is 4, it is 80/100 (= 80%), and if the set value is 5, it is 85/100 (=). 85%), and if the set value is 6, it may be set to 90/100 (= 90%). According to the setting of such a determination ratio, when the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)", the effect of displaying the text image according to any of the text display process patterns 91AKT01 and 91AKT02 is executed. Is different depending on the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, when the set value in the pachinko game machine 1 is 1, the effect of displaying the text image according to the text display process table 91AKT01 is likely to be executed, and as the set value increases, the text corresponding to the text display process table 91AKT02 is easily executed. The ratio of the effect by displaying the image is increased. Therefore, when the reach effect content is "SP reach A (big hit)" and the effect by displaying the text image according to the text display process table 91AKT02 is executed, the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is advantageous for the player. Expectation is high, which is a setting value.

In addition, it may be possible to execute an arbitrary setting suggestion effect at different ratios according to the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, in the case of a specific setting value, the setting suggestion effect may be executed at a higher rate than in the case of a setting value other than the specific setting value. In this case, in the range where the set value is other than the specific set value, there is a limit as a limit that the execution rate of the setting suggestion effect is lower than the range where the set value is the specific set value. If it is a specific set value, it can be executed at a predetermined ratio, and if it is a set value other than the specific set value, a setting suggestion effect that is not executed may be provided. As described above, in the range where the set value is the specific set value, the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a predetermined ratio. On the other hand, in the range where the set value is other than the specific set value, there is a limit as a limit that the setting suggestion effect is not executed.

It may be possible to execute an arbitrary setting suggestion effect at different ratios depending on whether or not it is a special period. For example, in the case of a special period, the setting suggestion effect may be executed at a higher rate than in the case of a period other than the special period. In this case, in the range other than the special period, there is a limit as a limit that the execution rate of the setting suggestion effect is lower than in the range of the special period. If it is a special period, it can be executed at a predetermined ratio, and if it is a period other than the special period, a setting suggestion effect that is not executed may be provided. In this way, within the range of the special period, the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a predetermined ratio. On the other hand, in the range other than the special period, there is a limit as a limit that the setting suggestion effect is not executed.

It is not limited to whether or not it is a special period, and it may be possible to execute an arbitrary setting suggestion effect at a different ratio depending on whether or not an arbitrary special condition is satisfied. For example, when the special condition is satisfied, the setting suggestion effect may be executed at a higher rate than when the special condition is not satisfied. In this case, in the range where the special condition is not satisfied, there is a limit as a limit that the execution rate of the setting suggestion effect is lower than the range where the special condition is satisfied. If the special condition is satisfied, it can be executed at a predetermined ratio, and if the special condition is not satisfied, a setting suggestion effect that is not executed may be provided. In this way, within the range where the special conditions are satisfied, the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a predetermined ratio. On the other hand, in the range where the special condition is not satisfied, there is a limit as a limit that the setting suggestion effect is not executed. The special condition may be any condition that can be satisfied according to the progress or history of the game in the pachinko game machine 1 or the result of the determination or determination of the game, or the progress or history or the effect of the effect in the pachinko game machine 1. It may be an arbitrary condition that can be satisfied according to the judgment or determination of. The effect is not limited to the setting suggestion effect, and any effect may be executed at a different ratio depending on whether or not a preset condition is satisfied, and whether such a condition is satisfied. The production mode may be determined at a different rate depending on whether or not such a condition is satisfied, or the execution timing may be determined at a different rate depending on whether or not such a condition is satisfied. .. In addition, any effect may be limited as a limit that a specific effect is not executed in the range where the preset restriction condition is satisfied, or compared with the range where the restriction condition is not satisfied. There may be a limit as a limit that the execution rate is lowered and it is difficult to be executed.

(Explanation of feature parts 01AK and 02AK)
FIG. 9-1 shows a configuration example 01AKP0 of the screen display in the image display device 5 with respect to the feature units 01AK and 02AK. In the configuration example 01AKP0, an active display area 01AKA1, a first hold display area 01AKB1, a second hold display area 01AKB2, and a small symbol display area 01AKC1 are provided on the screen of the image display device 5.

In the active display area 01AKA1, active display is performed by displaying an effect image corresponding to the variable display during execution. In the first hold display area 01AKB1, hold display is performed by displaying an effect image corresponding to the variable display in which execution is held, according to the number of first hold storages. In the second hold display area 01AKB2, hold display is performed by displaying an effect image corresponding to the variable display in which execution is held, according to the number of second hold storages. As described above, in the active display area 01AKA1, the first hold display area 01AKAB1, and the second hold display area 01AKAB2, active display and hold display which are specific displays based on the information related to the variable display are possible. The hold display in the first hold display area 01AKB1 is also referred to as "first hold display", and the hold display in the second hold display area 01AKB2 is also referred to as "second hold display".

In the first hold display area 01AKB1, for example, hold display associated with hold numbers "1", "2", "3", and "4" can be performed in order from the right end, and the first hold display is right-justified. It suffices if the display area is configured to be done. In the second hold display area 01AKB2, for example, hold display associated with hold numbers "1", "2", "3", and "4" can be performed in order from the left end, and the second hold display is left-justified. It suffices if the display area is configured to be done. In the active display area 01AKA1, the active display corresponding to the first hold display erased (digested) in the first hold display area 01AKAB1 is started in response to the start of the first special figure game, and the second special figure game Corresponding to the start, the active display corresponding to the second hold display erased (digested) in the second hold display area 01AKB2 is started. The active display that can be displayed in the active display area 01AKA1 may have the same color and pattern as the first hold display and the second hold display. For example, the active display is the same as the first hold display and the second hold display. The effect image of may be displayed larger than each hold display. The display mode of the active display may change to a display mode different from that of the first hold display or the second hold display by executing the active display change effect. Further, in the active display area 01AKA1, for example, an effect image showing a pedestal may be displayed below the active display so that the active display can be recognized separately from the first hold display and the second hold display.

A small symbol display area 01AKC1 is arranged at a predetermined position on the screen of the image display device 5. The small symbol display area 01AKC1 is smaller than the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right", and is provided at a predetermined position such as the right end on the screen of the image display device 5. ing. In the small symbol display area 01AKC1, the variable display of the small symbol is executed corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. The effect image showing the small pattern is smaller than the identification information image which is the effect image showing the decorative pattern, and the variable display can be executed in a manner in which a part or all of the identification information image showing the decorative pattern is common. Any reduced identification information image may be used. For example, when the identification information image showing the decorative symbol includes a part showing a number and a part showing a character, the effect image showing the small symbol corresponds to the same symbol number as the part showing the number included in the decorative symbol. Since it is an image showing the numbers and does not include a part showing a character, it suffices if a small symbol can be displayed in a simpler manner than an effect image showing a decorative symbol. By displaying the small symbols in a simple manner in the small symbol display area 01AKC1, it is sufficient to prevent the display contents and display results of the small symbols from being misidentified by the player. In the small symbol display area 01AKC1 provided on the screen of the image display device 5, the small symbol as the reduced identification information is variably displayed, and the confirmed small symbol as the display result is derived. The effect image showing the small pattern may be displayed at a position where it can be visually recognized at all times.

FIG. 9-2 shows a configuration example of a drawing command for an effect. In this embodiment, commands 01AKG01 to 01AKG06 are prepared in advance as drawing commands for a plurality of effects. The command 01AKG01 is a drawing command in which a color blend for blurring by bilinear sampling is instructed. Command 01AKG02 is a drawing command in which a color blend that inverts color information is instructed. The command 01AKG03 is a drawing command in which a color blend for blurring by changing the magnification is instructed. The command 01AKG04 is a drawing command in which a color blend for monochrome conversion is instructed. The command 01AKG05 is a drawing command in which a color blend for blurring by rotation is instructed. The command 01AKG06 is a drawing command instructed to change the offset amount of the image position.

The drawing command for the effect may be prepared as one drawing command or may be prepared as a display list. The display list is a command group for performing drawing control, and can be created by the CPU 91AK 131 as a command sequence in which a plurality of commands for the VDP 91AK 132 are combined. In VDP91AK132, the drawing process can be executed in the order described in the display list. The drawing command for an effect may be composed of a combination of commands for setting a plurality of types of inter-pixel calculation. For example, in a drawing command in which color blending is instructed, it may be possible to function as a drawing command for each effect by setting parameters according to the effect to be applied. For example, in the internal register of VDP91AK132, control data for specifying the calculation target included in the display list, numerical data for specifying parameters, and other register values are stored, and register values corresponding to execution commands are stored. Drawing according to the display list starts.

When color blending for blurring by bilinear sampling is executed in response to the command 01AKG01, a reduced image is generated by, for example, texture mapping of a bilinear interpolation method for image data. When generating this reduced image, a plurality of reduced images with different sampling point groups may be generated. Using the plurality of reduced images generated in this way, a composite reduced image is generated by executing a compositing process by color blending, for example, alpha blending. After that, by executing the enlargement processing of the combined reduced image, it is possible to draw the generated image by changing the color information included in the image data so as to obtain the blurred image.

When executing a color blend that inverts the color information in response to the command 01AKG02, for example, the RGB value, which is the color information of each pixel (1 pixel) shown in the image data, is set to the maximum value (for example, 255). Executes the difference calculation process of. For example, when the R value corresponding to "red" is "80", the color information can be inverted by obtaining 255-80 = 175. For the G value corresponding to "green" and the B value corresponding to "blue", the color information included in the image data is included in the image data so that the image becomes an inverted image by executing the same difference calculation process. Can be changed to draw the generated image.

When executing a color blend for blurring by changing the magnification in response to the command 01AKG03, for example, a plurality of enlarged images or reduced images are generated by scaling processing on the image data. At this time, a plurality of enlarged images or reduced images having different magnifications such as an enlargement ratio and a reduction ratio of the image are generated. For example, for an image having a display magnification of 100%, two types of enlarged images such as an image having a display magnification of 102% and an image having a display magnification of 104% are generated. Blur processing is performed by performing a composition process by color blending, for example, alpha blending, using the plurality of enlarged or reduced images generated in this way and the image (original image) corresponding to the original image data. It is possible to draw the generated image by changing the color information included in the image data so as to obtain the resulting image.

When executing a color blend for monochrome conversion in response to the command 01AKG04, for example, the monochrome conversion calculation process is executed for each pixel for the RGB value which is the color information of each pixel (1 pixel) shown in the image data. do. In the monochrome conversion calculation process, the color information can be changed so that the image becomes monochrome by substituting the RGB value into the calculation formula for color tone conversion. By executing the monochrome conversion calculation process in this way, it is possible to draw the generated image by changing the color information included in the image data so that the image is converted to monochrome.

When executing color blending for blurring by rotation corresponding to the command 01AKG05, for example, a plurality of rotated images are generated by rotation calculation processing on the image data. At this time, a plurality of rotated images having different rotation angles of the images are generated. For example, for an image having a rotation angle of 0 °, two types of rotation images such as an image having a rotation angle of 2 ° and an image having a rotation angle of 4 ° are generated. An image that has been blurred by performing a color blending composition process such as alpha blending using the plurality of rotated images generated in this way and the image (original image) corresponding to the original image data. It is possible to draw the generated image by changing the color information included in the image data so as to be.

When changing the offset amount of the image position corresponding to the command 01AKG06, the position information of the image is changed by, for example, a coordinate value conversion process for the image data. In the coordinate value conversion process, the position information when drawing an image, such as a UV coordinate value, is changed according to the offset amount set as a parameter. The UV coordinate value is given as a texture coordinate attribute value when mapping a texture to an object. By executing the coordinate value conversion process, it is possible to draw the generated image by changing the position information corresponding to the image data so that the image has a different texture arrangement.

As described above, the effect drawing command may include a command such as commands 01AKG01 to 01AKG05 that can draw the generated image by changing the color information included in the image data. Further, the effect drawing command may include a command such as command 01AKG06 that changes the position information corresponding to the image data to enable drawing of the generated image. In addition, the drawing command for the effect may include a command that makes it possible to draw the generated image by changing arbitrary attribute information related to the image data.

Unlike these effect drawing commands, the CPU 91AK131 can also generate normal display drawing commands. The normal display drawing command executes a process of drawing an image corresponding to the image data without changing the color information included in the image data by not executing the composition process by color blending.

FIG. 9-3 shows a configuration example of a screen display including various effect images that can be displayed on the screen of the image display device 5. The plurality of effect images displayed on the image display device 5 are divided into a plurality of display layers and drawn. Different display priorities are set in advance for the plurality of display layers as display layers for the effect image. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 9-3, layers 01AKL1 to 01AKL5 are provided as a plurality of display layers. Of these, layer 01AKL1 is a display layer having the highest display priority, and an effect image or the like showing a small symbol in the small symbol display area 01AKC1 is drawn so as to be displayable. The layer 01AKL2 is a display layer having a display priority next to that of the layer 01AKL1, and draws an effect image corresponding to the hold display or the active display so as to be displayable. Further, the layer 01AKL2 may draw an effect image showing the pedestal below the active display so as to be displayable. The layer 01AKL3 is a display layer having a display priority next to that of the layer 01AKL2, and draws an effect image or the like used for a chance-up effect during reach so that it can be displayed. Layer 01AKL4 is a display layer having the next highest display priority after layer 01AKL3, and displays an effect image showing decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". Draw as much as possible. The layer 01AKL5 is a display layer having the lowest display priority, and draws an effect image or the like as a background image so that it can be displayed.

The display layer on which a plurality of effect images are arranged is specified by, for example, display priority information included in the display list. In the display list, the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL5 is designated as the first drawing target, and then the effect image arranged on each display layer is specified as the drawing target in the order of layers 01AKL4, 01AKL3, 01AKL2, 01AKL1. May be good. Further, for example, in the image data of the effect images drawn on each layer 01AKL1 to 01AKL5, a Z value which is a depth value used when each effect image is superimposed and drawn may be set. By setting the Z value in the Z value setting table, the Z value of the effect image drawn on each layer 01AKL1 to 01AKL5 may be different depending on the drawing destination layer. For example, a display layer to which a small value is assigned as a Z value is arranged on the front side (front side) in the Z-axis direction as compared with a display layer to which a large value is assigned as a Z value, and the display priority of an image is high. You can do it like this.

The VDP91AK132 may determine the display priority by performing a Z value comparison operation when writing the image data read from the effect data memory 91AK123 or the like to the frame buffer provided in the VRAM91AK147 or the like. At this time, for example, the image data of the effect image having a small Z value is written to the frame buffer with priority over the image data of the effect image having a large Z value. As a result, the effect image drawn on the display layer to which the small value as the Z value is assigned has a higher display priority than the effect image drawn on the display layer to which the large value as the Z value is assigned, and is seen by the player. It can be placed on the front side (front side). On the other hand, the effect image drawn on the display layer to which a large value as the Z value is assigned has a lower display priority than the effect image drawn on the display layer to which the small value as the Z value is assigned. It can be placed on the back side (rear side). The relationship between the Z value and the display priority may be the opposite, and the display layer to which a large value is assigned as the Z value is Z more than the display layer to which the small value is assigned as the Z value. It may be arranged on the front side (front side) in the axial direction so that the display priority of the image is high.

In this way, the drawing process of the effect image according to the display layer is executed, and the display image 01AKD1 including the plurality of effect images is generated. The display image 01AKD1 is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 after the images drawn on the layers 01AKL1 to 01AKL5 are superposed and combined as a plurality of display layers having different display priorities.

Of the layers 01AKL1 to 01AKL5, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 are special layers, and the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 are specific layers. In layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 included in the specific layer, the effect image can be drawn and displayed by a drawing process different from the effect images drawn on the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 included in the special layer.

FIG. 9-4 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect drawing composition processing executed by the VDP91AK132. The effect drawing composition process is executed when, for example, the display list including the effect drawing command is transferred based on the decoding result of the instruction code by the instruction decoder 91AK141 of VDP91AK132. When the effect drawing composition processing is started, the image data to be the target of the effect processing is read out (step 01AKS01). For example, in the VDP 91AK 132, the image data to be processed is read from the effect data memory 91AK123 or the like, stored in the work area of the VRAM 91AK147 or the like, and temporarily stored. The data transfer circuit of VDP91AK132 reads the image data to be processed from the buffer area of the effect data memory 91AK123 or VRAM91AK147 by accessing the address of the image data specified by the drawing command, and transfers the image data to the work area of VRAM91AK147. And memorize it. As the image data to be processed by the effect, image data indicating an image to be drawn on any of layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which is a specific layer, is specified by a drawing command among a plurality of display layers.

After that, the effect color blend is executed according to the drawing command (step 01AKS02). For example, VDP91AK132 may execute any of the commands 01AKG01 to 01AKG05 by executing the inter-pixel arithmetic processing specified by the drawing command by a part or all of the moving image renderer 91AK144, the character image renderer 91AK145, and the text image renderer 91AK146. Color blending may be performed according to the above. In the case of the command 01AKG06, the coordinate value conversion process for changing the offset amount of the image position in the texture mapping may be executed.

After step 01AKS02, the images are combined and drawn corresponding to the low priority display layer (step 01AKS03). At this time, the image obtained by performing the effect color blending in step 01AKS02 is drawn in the frame buffer for screen display of VRAM91AK147. For example, the VDP91AK132 is drawn on the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 by executing the inter-pixel arithmetic processing specified by the drawing command by a part or all of the moving image renderer 91AK144, the character image renderer 91AK145, and the text image renderer 91AK146. The images may be stored in the frame buffer for screen display while being combined according to the display priority. As a result, the image drawn on any of layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which is a specific layer, can be drawn for screen display after changing the color information of the image data by executing the effect color blend. can.

After step 01AKS03, images are combined and drawn corresponding to the high priority display layer (step 01AKS04). For example, in the VDP 91AK 132, the image data to be drawn is read from the effect data memory 91AK123 or the like and drawn in the frame buffer for screen display of the VRAM 91AK147. An image in the low priority display layer has already been drawn in this frame buffer by step 01AKS03. The data transfer circuit of the VDP91AK132 reads the image data to be drawn from the effect data memory 91AK123, the buffer area of the VRAM91AK147, etc. by accessing the address of the image data specified by the drawing command, and uses the VRAM91AK147 for screen display. It may be transferred to the frame buffer and stored. At this time, the moving image renderer 91AK144, the character image renderer 91AK145, and the text image renderer 91AK146 are drawn on the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 by executing the inter-pixel arithmetic processing specified by the drawing command, respectively. The images may be stored in the frame buffer for screen display while being combined according to the display priority. As the image data to be drawn in step 01AKS04, image data indicating an image to be drawn on any of layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, is specified by a drawing command by a drawing command. As a result, the image drawn on either of the special layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 is drawn for screen display without executing the effect color blending and without changing the color information of the image data. Can be done.

As described above, the VDP 91AK 132 can execute the drawing process for displaying various images on the screen of the image display device 5 by using the image data stored in the predetermined area of the effect data memory 91AK123 or the VRAM 91AK147. Further, by executing the effect drawing composition process, on the other hand, it is possible to change the color information included in the image data and draw the image drawn on any one of the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 which is a specific layer. On the other hand, the image drawn on any of the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, can be drawn corresponding to the image data.

When the display list including the normal display drawing command is transferred without including the effect drawing command, the VDP91AK132 can execute the normal drawing composition process different from the effect drawing composition process. In the normal drawing composition process, the data transfer circuit of the VDP91AK132 reads the image data to be drawn from the effect data memory 91AK123, the buffer area of the VRAM91AK147, etc. by accessing the address of the image data specified by the drawing command, and causes the VRAM91AK147 to read the image data to be drawn. Then, it may be transferred to a frame buffer for screen display and stored. At this time, the moving image renderer 91AK144, the character image renderer 91AK145, and the text image renderer 91AK146 are drawn on the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 by executing the inter-pixel arithmetic processing specified by the drawing command, respectively. The images may be stored in the frame buffer for screen display while being combined according to the display priority. In this case, for the image drawn on any of the special layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 and the specific layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, the color information of the image data and the like are changed without executing the effect color blend. It can be drawn for screen display without.

FIG. 9-5 shows an execution example of image processing by the effect drawing composition processing. In this case, in the display list including the drawing command for the effect, as the image data to be processed by the effect, the image data 01AKD03 and the layer of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL3 among the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 included in the specific layer. The image data 01AKD04 of the effect image arranged on the 01AKL4 and the image data 01AKD05 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL5 are designated, respectively. When the VDP91AK132 reads out these image data in step 91AKS01 of the effect drawing / compositing process, the VDP91AK132 stores the image data in the subframe buffer 01AKF01 provided in the work area of the VRAM91AK147 or the like and temporarily stores the image data. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9-5 (A1), the image data 01AKD03 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL3, the image data 01AKD04 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL4, and the effect arranged on the layer 01AKL5. The image data 01AKD05 of the image is stored in the subframe buffer 01AKF01.

Subsequently, the VDP91AK132 executes an effect color blend on the image data stored in the subframe buffer 01AKF01 in step 91AKS02 of the effect drawing / compositing process. For example, when a color blend to be converted to monochrome is specified by the command 01AKG04 as a drawing command for an effect, the color information included in the image data is changed by executing the monochrome conversion calculation process. As a result, the color information of the image data 01AKD03 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL3 is changed so as to be the monochrome-converted image data 01AKD13 as shown in FIG. 9-5 (A2). The color information of the image data 01AKD04 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL4 is changed so as to be the monochrome-converted image data 01AKD14 as shown in FIG. 9-5 (A2). The color information of the image data 01AKD05 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL5 is changed so as to be the monochrome-converted image data 01AKD15 as shown in FIG. 9-5 (A2).

After that, the VDP91AK132 synthesizes an image corresponding to the low priority display layer by step 91AKS03 of the effect drawing composition processing. For example, the image data read from the subframe buffer 01AKF01 is written to and stored in the mainframe buffer 01AKF02 in order from the display layer having the lowest display priority. At this time, the image data may be overwritten or the hidden surface may be erased according to the display priority. Of the image data 01AKD13 to 01AKD15 stored in the subframe buffer 01AKF01 shown in FIG. 9-5 (A2), the image data 01AKD15 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL5 is read first and written to the main frame buffer 01AKF02. Remember with. The image data 01AKD14 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL4 is read second, superimposed on the image data 01AKD15 stored in the mainframe buffer 01AKF02, and written and synthesized. The image data 01AKD13 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL3 is read out third, superimposed on the image data 01AKD14 and 01AKD15 stored in the mainframe buffer 01AKF02, and written and synthesized.

Then, the VDP91AKD132 synthesizes an image corresponding to the display layer having a high priority by the effect drawing composition processing step 91AKS04. At this time, for example, by a drawing command included in the display list, the image data 01AKD02 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL2 is first designated as the image data to be drawn among the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 included in the special layer. , The image data 01AKD01 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL1 is designated next. Each time the VDP91AK132 reads out these image data, the VDP91AK132 writes and stores the image data in the mainframe buffer 01AKF02. That is, among the image data 01AKD01 and 01AKD02 to be drawn, the image data 01AKD02 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL2 is read first and superimposed on the image data 01AKD13 to 01AKD15 stored in the main frame buffer 01AKF02. Write and synthesize. The image data 01AKD01 of the effect image arranged on the layer 01AKL1 is finally read out, superimposed on the image data 01AKD02 and 01AKD13 to 01AKD15 stored in the mainframe buffer 01AKF02, and written and synthesized.

In this way, the image data 01AKD03 to 01AKD05 temporarily stored in the subframe buffer 01AKF01 is converted into image data 01AKD13 to 01AKD15 whose color information is changed by the effect color blend, and the converted image data 01AKD13 to 01AKD15 has priority for display. The data is written to the main frame buffer 01AKF02 in the order according to the degree. After that, the image data 01AKD01 and 01AKD02 are written to the mainframe buffer 01AKF02 in the order according to the display priority without changing the color information by not executing the effect color blend. Therefore, in 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are specific layers, various production images such as a background image, a production image showing a decorative pattern, and a production image for increasing the chance during reach are displayed by drawing by a specific drawing process such as an effect color blend. It is possible. On the other hand, in 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, drawing is performed by a normal drawing process that does not perform color blending for effects, and the effect image showing a hold display or an active display, an effect image showing a small pattern, and the like can be used for the progress of the game. It is possible to display a related predetermined image.

FIG. 9-6 shows an image display example by executing the effect drawing composition process. The VDP91AK132 can display an effect image drawn by changing the color information included in the image data by executing the effect drawing composition process when the display list including the effect drawing command is transferred. ..

FIG. 9-6 (A) shows an image display example 01AKM01 in the case of monochrome conversion. When the display list including the command 01AKG04 is transferred as the effect drawing command, the effect image drawn by the monochrome conversion calculation process among the effect color blends is displayed on the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 which are the specific layers. It is possible. The monochrome conversion calculation process is a process for drawing with a smaller number of colors than the color information included in the image data. As a result, in the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers of the image display example 01AKM01, as the specific drawing process, drawing is performed by a monochrome conversion calculation process for drawing with a smaller number of colors than the color information included in the image data. It is possible to display a production image. In the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers of the image display example 01AKM01, it is possible to draw a predetermined image related to the progress of the game by drawing without changing the color information included in the image data by the normal drawing process.

FIG. 9-6 (B) shows an image display example 01AKM02 in the case of color information inversion. When the display list including the command 01AKG02 is transferred as the effect drawing command, the effect image drawn by the difference calculation process among the effect color blends can be displayed on the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 which are the specific layers. Is. The difference calculation process is a process for converting and drawing a value of color information included in image data so as to be inverted by the difference from the maximum value. As a result, in the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers of the image display example 01AKM02, as the specific drawing process, the value of the color information included in the image data is converted and drawn by the difference calculation process or the like to draw the image for production. Can be displayed. In the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers of the image display example 01AKM02, a predetermined image relating to the progress of the game can be displayed by drawing without converting the value of the color information included in the image data by the normal drawing process.

In addition, when the display list including the command 01AKG01 is transferred as the drawing command for the effect, the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers, are subjected to the compositing process of performing color blending for blurring by bilinear sampling as the specific drawing process. It is possible to display an effect image drawn by changing the color information included in the image data. In this case, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may be drawn without changing the color information and the like included in the image data by the normal drawing process, and may be able to display a predetermined image relating to the progress of the game.

When the display list including the command 01AKG03 is transferred as the drawing command for the effect, the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers, perform the image data by the compositing process of performing the color blending for blurring by changing the magnification as the specific drawing process. It is possible to display an effect image drawn by changing the color information included in. In this case, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may be drawn without changing the color information and the like included in the image data by the normal drawing process, and may be able to display a predetermined image relating to the progress of the game.

When the display list including the command 01AKG05 is transferred as the drawing command for the effect, the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers, are converted into the image data by the compositing process of performing the color blending for blurring by rotation as the specific drawing process. It is possible to display an effect image drawn by changing the included color information. In this case, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may be drawn without changing the color information and the like included in the image data by the normal drawing process, and may be able to display a predetermined image relating to the progress of the game.

When the display list including the command 01AKG06 is transferred as the drawing command for the effect, the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers, perform the image data by the coordinate value conversion process for changing the offset amount of the image position as the specific drawing process. It is possible to display an effect image drawn by changing the position information corresponding to. In this case, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may be drawn without changing the position information corresponding to the image data by the normal drawing process, and may be able to display a predetermined image relating to the progress of the game.

By using these drawing commands for effects, the effect image drawn by changing the color information included in the image data and the effect image drawn by changing the position information corresponding to the image data can be displayed on a specific layer. Can be displayed. As a result, even if the production image is drawn using common image data, different image processing can be executed according to the effect drawing command, so that the color information or the position information is changed and drawn. Therefore, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by executing various display effects while preventing the amount of image data from increasing.

FIG. 9-7 (A) shows an example of setting the jackpot reliability according to the reach effect content. The jackpot reliability for each reach effect is the ratio of the case where the variable display result becomes "big hit" and is controlled to the jackpot game state in the case where each reach effect is executed. In this setting example, the jackpot reliability is set to be different according to the reach effects of a plurality of types of super reach such as SP reach A1 to A3 or SP reach B. For example, in the variable display pattern determination table, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a "big hit" is set to be different according to a plurality of types of reach effects by assigning a determination value to be compared with a random value for determining the variable display pattern. I just need to be there.

SP reach A1 to A3 are reach productions of super reach having a lower jackpot reliability than SP reach B, and are also called "weak SP reach". SP reach B is a reach production of super reach with higher jackpot reliability than SP reach A1 to A3, and is also called "strong SP reach". For example, the jackpot reliability of SP reach A1 is 20%, the jackpot reliability of SP reach A2 is 25%, the jackpot reliability of SP reach A3 is 30%, and the jackpot reliability of SP reach B is 80%. Is. Therefore, when the reach effect of SP reach A1 is executed, the variable display result becomes a "big hit" only once in five times. On the other hand, when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, the variable display result becomes a "big hit" about 4 times out of 5 times. In the case of SP reach A1 to A3, the reach effect content may include an effect mode in which a part of the reach can recognize the commonality. For example, in the SP reach A1 to A3, moving images common to each other may be reproduced and displayed as background images. Alternatively, in SP reach A1 to A3, a common character image may be displayed as an animation. The reach effect content may include an effect mode in which the difference between the SP reach B and the SP reach A1 to A3 can be recognized. For example, in SP reach B, a moving image different from SP reach A1 to A3 may be reproduced and displayed as a background image. Alternatively, in SP reach B, a character image different from SP reach A1 to A3 may be displayed as an animation. The reach effect content may include an effect mode in which the difference from the other cases can be recognized in any one of the SP reach A1 to A3. For example, in the SP reach A1 to A3, moving images different from each other may be reproduced and displayed as background images. Alternatively, the SP reach A1 to A3 may display character images different from each other in animation. In addition, the effect mode in which the difference can be recognized is an arbitrary display on the screen of the image display device 5, an arbitrary sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and an arbitrary light emitting member such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED. It may be the light emission of the above, an arbitrary operation using the movable member for effect, or a combination of a part or all of them.

When a reach effect that becomes a super reach such as SP reach A1 to A3 is executed, a drawing effect by displaying an image drawn in response to an effect drawing command is included. As the drawing effect, one of a plurality of types of display effects capable of displaying an image drawn by different drawing processes according to the effect drawing command may be selected and executed. As a drawing effect, the image drawn according to the effect drawing command is not displayed, but even if it is possible to execute a display effect that can display the image drawn according to a drawing command different from the effect drawing command. good. When a reach effect that becomes a super reach is executed, even if a case is included in which an effect by displaying an image drawn only in response to a normal display drawing command is executed without executing a specific drawing effect. good.

FIG. 9-7 (B) shows a setting example of the drawing effect content according to the drawing effect pattern. In this setting example, as a plurality of drawing effect patterns, drawing effect patterns 02AKA01, 02AKA02, 02AKB01, 02AKB02, 02AKB11, 02AKB12 are prepared in advance. A part or all of the drawing effect contents is different depending on the plurality of drawing effect patterns. The contents of the drawing effect include the presence / absence and type of the drawing effect by the effect display and the presence / absence of the drawing effect by the strobe display. A drawing effect that does not include an effect display or strobe display is also called a normal drawing effect. Drawing effects by effect display and strobe display are also called specific drawing effects.

The effect display is an effect display in which the color information included in the image data is changed and drawn when the drawing command for the effect is generated and transferred. The types of effect display include monochrome conversion effect and color information inversion effect. The monochrome conversion effect uses the command 01AKG04 among the drawing commands for the effect to draw and display the effect image subjected to the monochrome conversion. The color information inversion effect uses command 02 among the effect drawing commands to draw and display an effect image in which the color information is inverted. As described above, the effect display may be any effect as long as it can display the effect image drawn by changing the color information included in the image data. As for the effect display, for example, the effect image drawn by changing the position information corresponding to the image data may be displayed by using the command 01AKG06 among the drawing commands for the effect.

The strobe display is an effect display in which an image drawn using image data and a single color (for example, black or white) image with settings different from the image data are alternately and repeatedly displayed for each predetermined number of frames. Is. The strobe display may be executed for an image drawn on layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are specific layers, when a drawing command different from the effect drawing command is generated and transferred. On the other hand, the strobe display may not be executed for the images drawn on the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2 which are special layers. As described above, while the strobe display can be executed in the range of the image drawn on the specific layer, there may be a limitation as a limit that the strobe display is not executed in the range of the image drawn on the special layer. In addition to the strobe display, a pause display may be displayed. The pause display is an effect display that gives the impression that the progress of the effect by displaying the image is paused by continuously displaying the same image over a predetermined number of consecutive frames. In addition, when the strobe display is not executed, the pause display may be performed.

FIG. 9-8 shows an example of determining a drawing effect pattern. For example, in the effect control process process of step S76, when the variable display start setting process is executed in step S171, a plurality of drawings are drawn at a ratio corresponding to the variable display result and the reach effect content as shown in FIG. 9-8. It suffices if one of the production patterns can be determined. When a variable display pattern corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach is specified, the CPU 91AK131 extracts a random number value for determining the drawing effect pattern, and based on the random number value, according to the variable display result and the reach effect content. The drawing effect pattern may be determined by referring to the drawing effect pattern determination table.

In the determination example shown in FIG. 9-8, when the variable display result is "missing" and the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, the drawing is performed at a ratio of 60% (= 60/100). The effect pattern 02AKA01 is determined, the drawing effect pattern 02AKA02 is determined at a rate of 10% (= 10/100), and the drawing effect pattern 02AKAB01 is determined at a rate of 10% (= 10/100), and 5% (= 5). The drawing effect pattern 02AKB02 is determined at the ratio of / 100), the drawing effect pattern 02AKB11 is determined at the ratio of 10% (= 10/100), and the drawing effect pattern 02AKB12 is determined at the ratio of 5% = (5/100). Will be done. On the other hand, when the variable display result is "big hit" and the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is determined at a rate of 5% (= 5/100). The drawing effect pattern 02AKA02 is determined at a rate of 10% (= 10/100), the drawing effect pattern 02AKA2 is determined at a rate of 15% (= 15/100), and the drawing effect pattern 02AKA02 is determined at a rate of 20% (= 20/100). The drawing effect pattern 02AKB02 is determined, the drawing effect pattern 02AKB11 is determined at a rate of 20% (= 20/100), and the drawing effect pattern 02AKB12 is determined at a rate of 30% (= 30/100). Due to such a determination ratio, the variable display result becomes a "big hit" between the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 and the drawing effect pattern other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, and the ratio controlled to the big hit game state is different.

The drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is a pattern that does not execute a specific drawing effect, which is a drawing effect by effect display or strobe display. On the other hand, the drawing effect patterns 02AKA02, 02AKAB01, 02AKB02, 02AKB11, 02AKB12 are patterns for executing a specific drawing effect by one or both of the effect display and the strobe display. Then, among the cases where the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, when the variable display result is "big hit", the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is higher than when the variable display result is "miss". The ratio of drawing effect patterns other than the above is increased. Therefore, when the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, when the specific drawing effect which is the drawing effect by the effect display or the strobe display is executed, the specific drawing effect is not executed as compared with the case where the specific drawing effect is not executed. , The variable display result becomes "big hit", and the ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state increases. Further, in the drawing effect patterns other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, the determination ratio is set according to the variable display result so that the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is higher than that of the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01.

When the reach effect content is SP reach B, it is possible to determine only the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, and a restriction is provided so that it is not determined other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01. When the reach effect content is SP reach B, the reach effect of the super reach, which is a “strong SP reach” with higher jackpot reliability than the case of SP reach A1 to A3, is executed. In such a case, if the specific drawing effect by the effect display or the strobe display is executed, it becomes difficult for the player to visually recognize the reach effect of the super reach with high jackpot reliability, which may reduce the game interest. be. Therefore, in the range where the reach effect content is SP reach B, there is a limit as a limit that the specific drawing effect by the effect display or the strobe display is not executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player's attention to the reach effect of the super reach having high jackpot reliability from being hindered, and to appropriately improve the game entertainment.

When the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, it can be determined to be one of the drawing effect patterns 02AKA01, 02AKA02, 02AKB01, 02AKAB02, 02AKB11, 02AKB12 at different ratios according to the variable display result. .. When the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, the reach effect of super reach, which is a "weak SP reach" with a lower jackpot reliability than the case of SP reach B, is executed. In such a case, when a specific drawing effect by effect display or strobe display is executed, the variable display result becomes "big hit" and the ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state increases. In this way, when the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state is increased by executing the specific drawing effect, so that the jackpot reliability is low. Even in the case of the reach effect of, the player's expectation can be raised by executing the specific drawing effect, and the game entertainment can be appropriately improved.

Even when the reach effect content is SP reach B, it may be possible to determine the drawing effect pattern other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 at a predetermined ratio. However, when the reach effect content is SP reach B, it may be possible to determine the drawing effect pattern other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 at a lower rate than when the reach effect content is SP reach A1 to A3. In this way, in the range where the reach effect content is SP reach B, there is a limit that the specific drawing effect by the effect display or strobe display can be executed at a lower rate than the range where the reach effect content is SP reach A1 to A3. May be limited as.

FIG. 9-9 (A) shows the effect execution period in the variable display of the super reach. When the variable display of the super reach is executed, the period from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable display can be divided into a plurality of effect execution periods such as the effect execution periods D0 to D4. The effect execution period D0 is a period from the start of the variable display to the start of the execution of the reach effect after the reach is established. The effect execution period D1 is a period from the start of the reach effect execution period in which the reach effect that becomes the super reach is executed to the start of the chance up effect execution period in which the chance up effect can be executed. The effect execution period D2 is a period from the start of the chance-up effect execution period to the start of the result notification effect execution period in which the result notification effect can be executed after the chance-up effect execution period ends. The result notification effect may be an effect that notifies the effect result corresponding to the display result of the variable display in the reach effect that becomes the super reach. The effect execution period D3 is a period from the start to the end of the result notification effect execution period. The effect execution period D4 is a period from the end of the result notification effect execution period to the end of the variable display.

FIG. 9-9 (B) shows an effect control example 02AKC01 in each effect execution period. Of the plurality of effect execution periods D0 to D4, in the effect execution period D2 from the start of the chance-up effect execution period to the start of the result notification effect execution period, when the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, the specific drawing effect SPE is performed. Become feasible. In the case of the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, since the specific drawing effect SPE is not executed, the specific drawing effect SPE is not executed even during the effect execution period D2, and the normal drawing effect NOR can be executed.

Of the plurality of effect execution periods D0 to D4, in the effect execution period D0 from the start of the variable display to the start of the reach effect of the super reach, regardless of whether the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 or other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01. , The specific drawing effect SPE is not executed, and the normal drawing effect NOR can be executed. For example, in the effect execution period D0, when the variable display of the decorative pattern is started, if it is possible to execute a light emission effect using the game effect lamp 9 or other decorative LEDs in response to the BGM and sound effect output. good. Further, in the effect execution period D0, when the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed (temporarily stopped) in the decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R of "left" and "right", or "left", "middle", and "right". When the decorative symbols that make up the pseudo-continuous chance eyes are stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the game effect lamp 9 and other decorative LEDs are used in response to BGM and sound effect output. It may be possible to carry out a light emitting effect using. In addition, during the entire effect execution period D0, the normal drawing effect NOR is executed, and in response to the BGM and sound effect output during the execution of the variable display, the game effect lamp 9 and other decorative LEDs are used to emit light. The effect may be executable.

Among the effect execution periods D1 to D4 in which the reach effect of the super reach is executed during the execution of the variable display, the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 or other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 in the effect execution period D1 following the effect execution period D0. Regardless of whether or not, the specific drawing effect SPE is not executed and the normal drawing effect NOR can be executed. In the effect execution period D2 after the effect execution period D1, the normal drawing effect NOR can be executed when the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is used, and the specific drawing effect SPE can be executed when the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is not used. be. In the normal drawing effect NOR by the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, the image drawn by the normal drawing process can be displayed. In the specific drawing effect SPE other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, for example, the image drawn by the specific drawing process can be displayed on 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 which are the specific layers. Even when the specific drawing effect SPE other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is executed, for example, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may display an image drawn by the normal drawing process.

In the effect execution period D3 and the effect execution period D4 after the effect execution period D2, the specific drawing effect SPE is not executed and the normal drawing effect NOR is not executed regardless of whether the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 or other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01. Becomes executable. In the effect execution period D3, similarly to the effect execution period D2, the normal drawing effect NOR can be executed when the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is used, and the specific drawing effect SPE can be executed when the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is other than the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01. It may be. When the specific drawing effect SPE can be executed in the effect execution period D3, the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE is normally drawn in the effect execution period D4 for confirming and notifying the fixed decorative symbol that is the variable display result. It suffices to return to the execution of the production NOR. Further, the specific drawing effect SPE may be executed in all of the plurality of effect execution periods D1 to D4. Prior to the variable display in which the reach effect of the super reach is executed, the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE can be started based on the judgment result that the reach effect of the super reach is executed as the judgment result at the time of starting winning. You may do so. Even when the specific drawing effect SPE can be executed in a period other than the effect execution period D2, for example, in 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 which are specific layers, as in the case of executing the specific drawing effect SPE in the effect execution period D2. An image drawn by a specific drawing process can be displayed. For example, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may display an image drawn by a normal drawing process.

When the normal drawing effect NOR is executed even in a period other than the effect execution period D0 among the plurality of effect execution periods D0 to D4, a light emitting effect using a light emitting member such as a game effect lamp 9 or other decorative LEDs is performed. It is feasible. On the other hand, when the specific drawing effect SPE is executed during the effect execution period D2 or the like, it is controlled so that the light emission effect is not executed. For example, when the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, the light emitting member such as the game effect lamp 9 and other decorative LEDs may be turned off so that the light emitting effect is not executed. As described above, when the normal drawing effect NOR capable of displaying the image drawn by the normal drawing process is executed, the light emitting effect by the light emitting member such as the game effect lamp 9 can be executed. On the other hand, when the specific drawing effect SPE capable of displaying the image drawn by the specific drawing process is executed, the light emitting effect by the light emitting member such as the game effect lamp 9 is not executed. Therefore, within the range of the effect execution period in which the normal drawing effect NOR that can display the image drawn by the normal drawing process is executed, the light emission effect by the light emission of the light emitting member can be executed, while the image drawn by the specific drawing process is executed. In the range of the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE capable of displaying the image is executed, there is a limit as a limit that the light emission effect by the light emission of the light emitting member is not executed. When the specific drawing effect SPE by effect display or strobe display is executed, the player can easily recognize the image drawn by the specific drawing process by not executing the light emission effect. The display can improve the game entertainment.

When the specific drawing effect SPE is executed during the effect execution period D2 or the like, it is not limited to the one provided with the restriction that the light emitting effect by the light emission of the light emitting member is not executed, and for example, the normal drawing effect NOR is executed. There may be restrictions on the mode of effect of the light emission effect, such as reducing the amount of effect of the light emission effect. When the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, the amount of light emitted (luminance) of the light emitting member in the light emitting effect is reduced as compared with the case where the normal drawing effect NOR is executed, so that the amount of effect is reduced. It may be provided. Alternatively, when the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, the amount of effect is limited to be reduced by reducing the number of light emitting members capable of emitting light in the light emitting effect as compared with the case where the normal drawing effect NOR is executed. May be provided. Alternatively, when the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, the amount of effect is reduced by reducing the emission color used in the light emission effect (for example, single color emission) as compared with the case where the normal drawing process NOR is executed. Restrictions may be provided as such.

9-10 to 9-13 show execution examples of reach effect and drawing effect. FIG. 9-10 shows an example of effect execution when the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is determined among the cases where the reach effect that becomes the super reach is executed. FIG. 9-11 shows an example of effect execution in the effect execution period D2 when the drawing effect pattern 02AKA02 is determined. FIG. 9-12 shows an example of effect execution in the effect execution period D2 when the drawing effect pattern 02AKB02 is determined. FIG. 9-13 shows an example of effect execution in the effect execution period D2 when the drawing effect pattern 02AKB12 is determined.

FIG. 9-10 (A) shows an effect execution example 02AKM01 in the case where the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the reach mode and the reach is established. At this time, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R of "left" and "right", the common decorative symbols corresponding to the numbers "7" are aligned and stopped and displayed (temporary stop display), and the reach is established. , The reach production of normal reach is executed. In the case of the effect execution example 02 AKM01, the normal drawing effect NOR accompanied by the light emission effect can be appropriately executed corresponding to the effect execution period D0. For example, it suffices if it is possible to perform a light emitting effect using a light emitting member such as a game effect lamp 9 or other decorative LEDs in response to BGM and sound effect output from the establishment of reach to the development of super reach.

FIG. 9-10 (B) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM02 in the case where the reach effect of the normal reach shifts to the reach effect of the super reach in response to the start of the effect execution period D1. 9-10 (C) and 9-10 (D) show the effect execution examples 02AKM03 and 02AKM04 when the reach effect of the super reach progresses in the effect execution period D1. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM02 to 02AKM04, the normal drawing effect NOR accompanied by the light emission effect can be executed regardless of the determination result of the drawing effect pattern, corresponding to the effect execution period D1, and the specific drawing effect can be executed. Do not run SPE.

FIG. 9-10 (E) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM05 when the chance-up effect during reach is executed in the effect execution period D2. FIG. 9-10 (F) shows an effect execution example 02AKM06 in the case where the reach effect after the chance-up effect is executed in the effect execution period D2. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKAM05 and 02AKAM06, the normal drawing effect NOR accompanied by the light emission effect by the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01 is executed corresponding to the effect execution period D2. At this time, since the drawing effect pattern 02AKA01, the specific drawing effect SPE by the effect display or the strobe display is not executed.

FIG. 9-10 (G) shows an effect execution example 02AKM07 when the result notification effect is executed in the effect execution period D3. At this time, as the reach effect of the super reach, a reach effect in which the effect content differs depending on the variable display result is executed, and the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" are displayed. Then, the fixed decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed by shaking display or the like. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM07, the normal drawing effect NOR accompanied by the light emission effect can be executed regardless of the determination result of the drawing effect pattern corresponding to the effect execution period D3, and the specific drawing effect SPE can be executed. Do not execute.

FIG. 9-10 (H) shows an effect execution example 02AKM08 when the final notification of the variable display result is executed in the effect execution period D4. At this time, with the end of the reach effect of Super Reach, the fixed decorative symbol is stopped and displayed by the complete stop display. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM08, the normal drawing effect NOR accompanied by the light emission effect can be executed regardless of the determination result of the drawing effect pattern, corresponding to the effect execution period D4, and the specific drawing effect SPE can be performed. Do not execute.

FIG. 9-11 (A) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 11 when the chance-up effect during reach is executed corresponding to the start of the effect execution period D2. The effect display at this time may be the same as the effect display in the effect execution example 02 AKM05. However, the pause display may be started in response to the drawing effect pattern 02AKA02. For example, the image drawn on the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers, may be copied to the copy area provided in the VRAM 91AK147 and stored in a reusable manner. In addition, it is controlled not to execute the light emission effect in response to the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE by the strobe display.

FIG. 9-11 (B) shows the effect execution example 02 AKM 12 when the strobe display is executed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 11. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM12, an image that is entirely black is drawn and displayed as a single-color image on the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5 that are specific layers. At this time, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may display an image drawn by the normal drawing process.

FIG. 9-11 (C) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 13 in the case of executing an effect display which is a pause display during the strobe display, following the effect execution example 02 AKM 12. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM13, it is sufficient that the pause display can be executed during the strobe display by repeating the pause display started in the effect execution example 02AKM11. For example, in layers 01AKL3 to layer 01AKL5, which are specific layers, by drawing an image read from the copy area of VRAM91AK147, the same image pause as in the effect execution example 02AKM11 may be paused and displayed repeatedly.

FIG. 9-11 (D) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 14 that repeatedly displays an image similar to the effect execution example 02 AKM 12 following the effect execution example 02 AKM 13. FIG. 9-11 (E) shows an effect execution example 02AKM15 that repeatedly displays the same images as the effect execution examples 02AKM11 and 02AKM13, following the effect execution example 02AKM14. FIG. 9-11 (F) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 16 in which the same images as the effect execution examples 02 AKM 12 and 02 AKM 14 are repeatedly displayed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 15. FIG. 9-11 (G) shows an effect execution example 02AKM17 in which the same images as those of the effect execution examples 02AKM11, 02AKM13, and 02AKM15 are repeatedly displayed following the effect execution example 02AKM16. FIG. 9-11 (H) shows an effect execution example 02AKM18 that repeatedly displays the same images as the effect execution examples 02AKM12, 02AKM14, and 02AKM16, following the effect execution example 02AKM17. In this way, by alternately and repeatedly switching and displaying the image drawn using the image data and the image of a single color having a setting different from the image data, the strobe display and the pause display can be performed. .. After the strobe display of the effect execution example 02 AKM18 is completed, the normal drawing effect NOR is returned to the execution, and the light emission effect is controlled to be executed.

Such a strobe display can be executed without using dedicated image data by using an image with settings different from the image data according to the drawing command transferred from the CPU 91AK131 to the VDP91AK132. As a result, even if the effect image is drawn using common image data, the specific drawing effect SPE by strobe display can be executed according to the drawing command, so that the normal drawing effect NOR can be used by the player. Since different impressions can be given, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by executing various display effects while preventing the amount of image data from increasing.

In FIG. 9-12 (A), when the chance-up effect during reach is executed in response to the start of the effect execution period D2, the specific drawing effect SPE by the monochrome conversion effect corresponding to the drawing effect pattern 02AKB02 is executed. The production execution example 02 AKM21 is shown. The effect display at this time is different from the effect display in the effect execution example 02AKM05 in that the image drawn by the monochrome conversion calculation process or the like, which is the specific drawing process, is displayed in the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers. doing.

FIG. 9-12 (B) shows the effect execution example 02 AKM 22 when the strobe display is executed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 21. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM22, similarly to the effect execution example 02AKM12 and the like, the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are specific layers, draw and display an image of black as a whole as a single color image. At this time, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may display an image drawn by the normal drawing process.

FIG. 9-12 (C) shows an effect execution example 02AKM23 in which a specific drawing effect SPE by a monochrome conversion effect corresponding to the drawing effect pattern 02AKB02 is executed during the execution of the chance-up effect during reach, following the effect execution example 02AKM22. Is shown. In the case of the effect execution example 02 AKM23, it suffices if the chance-up effect during reach started in the effect execution example 02 AKM 21 can be continuously executed. It should be noted that the pause display may be executed as a chance-up effect during the strobe display. Alternatively, in the specific drawing effect SPE by the monochrome conversion effect, even when the strobe display is executed, the image drawn using the image data read according to the elapsed time is displayed as in the case of the effect execution example 02AKM05. The pause display of the chance-up effect may not be executed.

FIG. 9-12 (D) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 24 that repeatedly displays an image similar to the effect execution example 02 AKM 22 following the effect execution example 02 AKM 23. FIG. 9-12 (E) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 25 in the case where the reach effect after the chance-up effect in the effect execution period D2 is executed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 24. The effect display at this time is different from the effect display in the effect execution example 02AKM06 in that the image drawn by the monochrome conversion calculation process or the like, which is the specific drawing process, is displayed in the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers. doing.

FIG. 9-12 (F) shows an effect execution example 02AKM26 that repeatedly displays the same images as the effect execution examples 02AKM22 and 02AKM24, following the effect execution example 02AKM25. FIG. 9-12 (G) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 27 when a reach effect after the effect execution example 02 AKM 25 in the effect execution period D2 is executed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 26. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM27, it is sufficient that the reach effect executed in the effect execution example 02AKM25 can be continuously executed. It should be noted that the pause display may be executed as the reach effect during the strobe display, or the pause display may not be executed as the specific drawing effect SPE by the color information conversion effect. FIG. 9-12 (H) shows an effect execution example 02AKM28 that repeatedly displays the same images as the effect execution examples 02AKM22, 02AKM24, and 02AKM26, following the effect execution example 02AKM27. In this way, the image by monochrome conversion drawn by reducing the number of colors of the color information by the monochrome conversion calculation processing using the image data and the image of a single color by the setting different from the image data are alternately and repeatedly switched. By displaying the image, the specific drawing effect SPE by the monochrome conversion effect can be executed together with the strobe display.

The effect display, which is a monochrome conversion effect, is a dedicated image using an image drawn with a smaller number of colors than the color information included in the image data according to the drawing command for the effect transferred from the CPU 91AK131 to the VDP91AK132. It can be executed regardless of the data. As a result, even if the effect image is drawn using common image data, the specific drawing effect SPE by the monochrome conversion effect can be executed according to the effect drawing command. Since the impression given to the player can be made different, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by executing various display effects while preventing the amount of image data from increasing. In addition, by combining the effect display, which is a monochrome conversion effect, with the strobe display, the player can easily recognize the color change of the displayed image, and the display effect is prevented while preventing the amount of image data from increasing. It is possible to enhance the impression of the game and improve the game entertainment.

In FIG. 9-13 (A), when the chance-up effect during reach is executed in response to the start of the effect execution period D2, the specific drawing effect SPE by the color information inversion effect corresponding to the drawing effect pattern 02AKB12 is executed. The production execution example 02AKM31 to be performed is shown. The effect display at this time is an image drawn by converting the value of the color information by the differential calculation process or the like, which is the specific drawing process, in the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers, as compared with the effect display in the effect execution example 02AKM05. Is different in that is displayed.

FIG. 9-13 (B) shows the effect execution example 02 AKM 32 when the strobe display is executed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 31. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM32, similarly to the effect execution examples 02AKM12, 02AKM22 and the like, the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are specific layers, draw and display an image of black as a whole as a single color image. At this time, the layers 01AKL1 and 01AKL2, which are special layers, may display an image drawn by the normal drawing process.

FIG. 9-13 (C) shows an effect execution example in which, following the effect execution example 02AKM32, a specific drawing effect SPE by the color information inversion effect corresponding to the drawing effect pattern 02AKB12 is executed during the execution of the chance-up effect during reach. It shows 02AKM33. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM33, it suffices if the chance-up effect during reach started in the effect execution example 02AKM31 can be continuously executed. It should be noted that the pause display may be executed as a chance-up effect during the strobe display. Alternatively, in the specific drawing effect SPE by the color information inversion effect, even when the strobe display is executed, the image drawn using the image data read according to the elapsed time is displayed as in the case of the effect execution example 02AKM05. , The pause display of the chance-up effect may not be executed.

FIG. 9-13 (D) shows the effect execution example 02AKM34 that repeatedly displays the same image as the effect execution example 02AKM32, following the effect execution example 02AKM33. FIG. 9-13 (E) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 35 in the case where the reach effect after the chance-up effect in the effect execution period D2 is executed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 34. The effect display at this time is an image drawn by converting the value of the color information by the differential calculation process or the like, which is the specific drawing process, in the layers 01AKL3 to 01AKL5, which are the specific layers, as compared with the effect display in the effect execution example 02AKM06. Is different in that is displayed.

FIG. 9-13 (F) shows an effect execution example 02AKM36 that repeatedly displays the same images as the effect execution examples 02AKM32 and 02AKM034, following the effect execution example 02AKM35. FIG. 9-13 (G) shows an effect execution example 02 AKM 37 when a reach effect after the effect execution example 02 AKM 35 in the effect execution period D2 is executed following the effect execution example 02 AKM 36. In the case of the effect execution example 02AKM37, it is sufficient that the reach effect executed in the effect execution example 02AKM35 can be continuously executed. It should be noted that the pause display may be executed as the reach effect during the strobe display, or the pause display may not be executed as the specific drawing effect SPE by the color information conversion effect. FIG. 9-13 (H) shows an effect execution example 02AKM38 that repeatedly displays the same images as the effect execution examples 02AKM32, 02AKM34, and 02AKM36, following the effect execution example 02AKM37. In this way, the image by color information inversion drawn by converting the color information value by the difference calculation process using the image data and the single color image by the setting different from the image data are alternately and repeatedly switched. By displaying the image, it is possible to execute the specific drawing effect SPE by the color information inversion effect together with the strobe display.

The effect display, which is the color information inversion effect, is dedicated image data using an image drawn by converting the value of the color information included in the image data according to the drawing command for the effect transferred from the CPU 91AK131 to the VDP91AK132. It is feasible regardless. As a result, even if the effect image is drawn using common image data, the specific drawing effect SPE by the color information inversion effect can be executed according to the effect drawing command, so that the normal drawing effect NOR can be executed. Can give different impressions to the player, so that it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by executing various display effects while preventing the amount of image data from increasing. In addition, by combining the effect display, which is a color information inversion effect, and the strobe display, the player can easily recognize the color change of the displayed image, and the display is displayed while preventing the amount of image data from increasing. It is possible to enhance the impression of the production and improve the game entertainment.

By executing the specific drawing effect SPE by the effect display or the strobe display, it is possible to give the player a sense of discomfort in the display effect that is not found in the normal drawing effect NOR. When the reach effect content is any of SP reach A1 to A3, the reach effect of super reach, which is a "weak SP reach" with a lower jackpot reliability than the case of SP reach B, is executed, while the reach effect is executed. It is possible to execute a specific drawing effect SPE that gives a sense of discomfort in the display effect that is not found in the normal drawing effect NOR. Then, when the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, the ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state becomes high, so that the player's expectation can be raised and the game entertainment can be appropriately improved.

The invention relating to the feature portions 01AK and 02AK is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features related to the feature units 01AK and 02AK, and has the configuration shown in the above embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may be provided with a part.

The strobe display has been described as being executed by alternately and repeatedly switching and displaying an image drawn using image data and a single-color image having a setting different from the image data. In such a strobe display, a part or all of a single color image may be replaced with a specific image prepared in advance and displayed. For example, when an effect image to be a character image is inserted and displayed as a specific image, the display result of the variable display becomes a "big hit" and is controlled to a big hit game state, as compared with the case where a single color image is repeatedly displayed. The drawing effect content and the determination ratio of the drawing effect pattern may be set so that the ratio becomes high.

It has been described that when the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, the light emitting effect using the light emitting member is not executed. The light emitting effect using such a light emitting member may include a light emitting display effect by causing the display unit of the light guide plate to emit light. For example, a light guide plate as a transparent light guide member having light transmission is provided on the front side (front side) of a part or all of the display screen of the image display device 5. Further, a light emitting member such as a light guide plate LED is provided in the vicinity of the light guide plate, and light from the light emitting member is introduced through the end face of the light guide plate and reflected by a reflection portion formed in advance inside the light guide plate. Therefore, a light emitting display effect for displaying a predetermined pattern or the like may be executed. Then, in the effect execution period in which the normal drawing effect NOR is executed in response to the drawing effect pattern or the like, it is sufficient that the light emission display effect can be executed based on the determination result of the light emission display effect pattern or the like. On the other hand, in the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE is executed corresponding to the drawing effect pattern or the like, it is sufficient to control so that the light emission display effect is not executed.

Further, the light emitting effect using such a light emitting member may include a button light emitting effect by causing the button light emitting unit mounted inside the push button 31B to emit light. In this case, it is sufficient that the button light emission effect can be executed based on the determination result of the button light emission effect pattern or the like during the effect execution period in which the normal drawing effect NOR is executed corresponding to the drawing effect pattern or the like. On the other hand, it may be controlled not to execute the button light emission effect during the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE is executed in accordance with the drawing effect pattern or the like.

When a plurality of display layers are provided, the setting of whether each display layer is a special layer or a specific layer can be arbitrarily changed based on the specifications of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the like. For example, the layer 01AKL2 that draws the effect image corresponding to the hold display or the active display so as to be displayable may be included in a specific layer instead of the special layer. In the setting where the layer 01AKL2 is included in the specific layer, when the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, the effect image corresponding to the hold display or the active display is drawn and displayed by the specific drawing process, so that color information or the like can be obtained. May be changed. Then, when the specific drawing effect SPE by the monochrome conversion effect is executed, the effect image corresponding to the hold display or the active display may be changed to a monochrome image having a small number of colors and displayed. While enabling monochrome display of such hold display and active display, when it is possible to execute a change effect that changes the display color of the specific display related to variable display such as hold display and active display, the specific drawing effect SPE If the change effect is executed during the execution of, the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE may be terminated when the display color of the specific display is changed, and the execution of the normal drawing effect NOR may be started or restarted. The display color of the specific display may be different depending on the degree of expectation controlled by the jackpot game state. When there are a success pattern that changes the display color of the specific display and a failure pattern that does not change the display color of the specific display in the change effect, the change effect of the success pattern is executed during the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE. When the display color of the specific display changes to the specific color, the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE may be terminated and the execution of the normal drawing effect NOR may be started or restarted. Execution of the specific drawing effect SPE is started at the timing when the hold display is displayed, and after the variable display and active display corresponding to the hold display are performed, the change effect of the success pattern is executed and the display color of the active display is changed. When the color changes to a specific color, the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE may be terminated, and the execution of the normal drawing effect NOR may be started or restarted.

As the display layer included in the special layer, a direction display layer for drawing an effect image showing the launch direction of the game ball so as to be displayable may be included. For example, in the direction display layer, as an operation promotion effect that is a left-handed effect or a right-handed effect, when a launch promotion effect is executed, an effect image that encourages the game ball to be fired toward the left game area or the right game area is displayed. It suffices if it can be drawn and displayed. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a game can be played by firing a game ball as a game medium, and a first path and a second path are provided as movement paths through which the game ball can flow down. The first route may be a right-handed route which is a right-handed game area in the game area, and the second route may be a left-handed area which is a left-handed game area in the game area. Then, when it is the first state in which it is advantageous to let the game ball flow down to the first path, the first promotion image for prompting the launch of the game medium toward the first path can be drawn and displayed on the direction display layer. Anything is fine. In addition, when it is the second state in which it is advantageous to let the game ball flow down to the second path, a second promotion image for prompting the launch of the game medium toward the second path based on the establishment of a predetermined condition is displayed. It may be possible to draw and display on the direction display layer. In this way, by including the direction display layer in the special layer, the image drawn by the specific drawing process can be displayed in the specific layer during the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, whereas the direction is displayed. In the display layer, it suffices if the image drawn by the normal drawing process can be displayed. Therefore, the effect image prompting the game ball to be launched toward the left game area or the right game area may be drawn and displayed in a special layer by a normal drawing process as a predetermined image related to the game. By being able to draw and display the image that encourages the launch of the game medium by the normal drawing process instead of the specific drawing process, various display effects are executed while appropriately ensuring the visibility of the image that encourages the launch of the game medium. Then, the game entertainment can be improved.

As the operation promotion effect, an effect image indicating that the effect output amount can be changed, such as volume, screen brightness, and a part or all of the light emission amount, may be drawn and displayed. As the display layer included in the special layer, an operation display layer for drawing an effect image or the like in such an operation promotion effect so as to be displayable may be included.

As the display layer included in the special layer, a warning display layer for drawing a warning image or the like for notifying the occurrence of an abnormality in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be included. For example, in the warning display layer, detection by various sensors such as a magnetic sensor, a radio wave sensor, a vibration sensor, a door opening sensor, a grand prize opening door sensor, a full tank sensor, and a ball burnout sensor connected to the main board 11 in the pachinko gaming machine 1 When it is determined that various errors have occurred based on the state, the state of the payout board, the detection state of the game ball by the start port switch, the count switch, etc., a warning image corresponding to the generated error is drawn and displayed. If possible. The warning display layer may be set to the display layer having the highest display priority among the plurality of display layers. In this way, by including the warning display layer in the special layer, the image drawn by the specific drawing process can be displayed in the specific layer during the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, whereas the warning is displayed. In the display layer, it suffices if the image drawn by the normal drawing process can be displayed. Therefore, the warning image for notifying the occurrence of an abnormality may be drawn and displayed on a special layer by a normal drawing process as a predetermined image related to the game. By being able to draw and display a warning image that notifies the occurrence of an abnormality by normal drawing processing instead of specific drawing processing, various display effects can be achieved while appropriately ensuring the visibility of the image that notifies the occurrence of an abnormality. It can be executed to improve the game entertainment. In the case of notifying the occurrence of an abnormality, even during the execution of the specific drawing effect SPE in which the light emission effect is not executed, the light emission notification at the time of abnormality may be executed by causing the light emitting member to emit light. In this way, the notification regarding the occurrence of the abnormality may be executed with a higher priority than other effects.

As the display layer included in the special layer, a suggestion display layer for drawing the effect image in the setting suggestion effect so as to be displayable may be included. For example, in the suggestion display layer, it is sufficient that the setting suggestion images determined at different ratios can be drawn and displayed according to the setting values in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, it is possible to set one of a plurality of set values having different advantages for the player, and as a suggestion regarding the setting of the set value, whether or not to execute the pachinko game machine and the effect mode are set according to the set value. It suffices if the setting suggestion effect having a different determination ratio can be executed. For example, one of a plurality of setting suggestion images may be selected at a different ratio depending on the setting value, and the selected setting suggestion image may be drawn and displayed on the suggestion display layer. In this way, by including the suggestion display layer in the special layer, the image drawn by the specific drawing process can be displayed in the specific layer during the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, whereas the suggestion is made. In the display layer, it suffices if the image drawn by the normal drawing process can be displayed. An image suggesting a setting value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be drawn and displayed on a special layer by a normal drawing process instead of a specific drawing process, so that an image suggesting a setting value having a different advantage for the player can be displayed. It is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by executing various display effects while appropriately ensuring visibility. Alternatively, the suggestion display layer may be included in a specific layer instead of a special layer. In this way, by including the suggestion display layer in the specific layer, the image drawn by the normal drawing process can be displayed in the special layer during the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, whereas the suggestion is suggested. The display layer may display an image drawn by a specific drawing process. By making it possible to draw and display an image suggesting a setting value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 on a specific layer by a specific drawing process, the display of an image suggesting a setting value having a different advantage for the player is diversified. , The game entertainment can be improved.

At least some of the features of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be applied not only to the pachinko gaming machine 1 but also to slot machines and the like. As an example of applying to this slot machine, when it is possible to control the assist time (also referred to as AT) which is the notification period in which the navigation notification for notifying the stop order which is advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result can be executed. , As the navigation notification, an effect image for notifying the stop order in an identifiable manner may be displayed on the screen of the image display device. In this case, as the display layer included in the special layer, a notification display layer that draws an effect image used for navigation notification so as to be displayable may be included. For example, in the notification display layer, when the order of stopping the variable display by each of the left, middle, and right reels is notified, if the stop order image showing the order of the stop operation by the stop switch can be drawn and displayed on the notification display layer. good. In this way, by including the notification display layer in the special layer, the image drawn by the specific drawing process can be displayed in the specific layer during the effect execution period in which the specific drawing effect SPE is executed, whereas the notification is displayed. In the display layer, it suffices if the image drawn by the normal drawing process can be displayed. The visibility of the image that notifies the operation mode can be displayed by drawing the image that notifies the operation mode when the variable display in the slot machine is stopped in a special layer by the normal drawing process instead of the specific drawing process. It is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by executing various display effects while appropriately securing the above.

(Light guide plate device 500)
Next, the light guide plate device 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-5 and 10-6. FIG. 10-5 is a front view showing the light guide plate device. 10-6 is an enlarged front view showing a main part of the light guide plate device, (B) is a sectional view taken along line BB of (A), and (C) is an enlarged view showing a main part of (B). Is. Here, in order to help understanding, the light emitting region 506 is indicated by dots (halftone dots), and the non-light emitting region 507 without dots (halftone dots) is indicated by white.

As shown in FIGS. 10-5 and 10-6, the light guide plate device 500 includes a light guide plate 501 provided so as to close the area surrounded by the center decorative frame 51 except for the right side and the lower area. A collection of LED substrates 503 on which a plurality of light guide plate LEDs 502 for incident light on the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501 and light from the light guide plate LED 502 are collected toward the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501. It mainly has an optical lens 504. The light guide plate device 500 is supported by a base member (not shown) fixed to the back surface of the game board 2 or the center decorative frame 51.

The light guide plate 501 is a plate member formed of a transparent synthetic resin material such as acrylic or polycarbonate having a predetermined front-rear width dimension (plate thickness = about 5 mm), and as shown in FIG. 10-4, the light guide plate 501 is a plate member. It is arranged in front of the third effect unit 600 and close to the glass window 50a.

Further, the light guide plate 501 is a light emitting region 506 as a first region that forms a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects light from the light guide plate LED 502 incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a forward and emits it from the front surface, that is, , A light emitting region (see the net point region in FIGS. 10-5 and 10-6 (A)) that emits light due to light incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501, and the inside from the right end surface 501a. The non-light emitting region 507 as a second region that does not form a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects the light from the light guide plate LED 502 forward and emits it from the front, that is, does not emit light due to the light incident inside the light guide plate 501. It has a non-light emitting region (see the white region in FIGS. 10-5 and 10-6 (A)).

The light emitting region 506 is formed so that a graphic whose peripheral edge is radial appears at a substantially central position of the light guide plate 501, and when light is incident inside the light guide plate 501, the light emitting region 506 reflects the light and moves forward. By emitting light, a predetermined image is emitted and displayed on the light guide plate 501.

As shown in FIGS. 10-6 (B) and 10-6 (C), the light emitting region 506 is in a fine uneven state so as to guide the incident light from the light guide plate LED 502 incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a and emit it from the front surface. It is formed on the back side (rough surface). Specifically, the light emitting region 506 is formed in a concavo-convex state (rough surface) having a substantially semicircular shape with a constant pitch in a cross-sectional view when the traveling direction of light is viewed from the side. In FIG. 10-6 (C), the uneven state (rough surface) is enlarged to help understanding, but the actual light emitting region 506 is a fine size that is difficult to see with the naked eye. It is in an uneven state.

When light is incident inside from the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501, a predetermined image (still image) is displayed on the light guide plate 501 by a dot pattern composed of a plurality of recesses 510 formed in the light emitting region 506 (FIG. See the halftone dot region at 10-5). That is, the light emitting region 506 as the first region forming a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects the light from the light guide plate LED 502 incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a forward and emits it from the front surface is formed from the plurality of recesses 510. This is a region in which a dot pattern is formed, and is not a second region that does not form a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects light from the light guide plate LED 502 incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a forward and emits light from the front surface. The light emitting region 507 is a region in which a dot pattern composed of a plurality of recesses 510 is not formed. Further, in the feature portion 75SG, a predetermined image (graphic) is exemplified as display information that can be displayed by the light guide plate 501, but in addition to these, decorations such as a pattern, a character, a symbol, a pattern, or a pattern are also included. Other display information including may be displayable.

When no light is incident on the light guide plate 501 from the right end surface 501a, the entire light guide plate 501 including the light emitting region 506 is colorless and transparent, and the display image of the rear image display device 5 and the first The 2 effect unit 400 and the 3rd effect unit 600 can be visually recognized (perspective) from the front of the light guide plate 501. Further, in the state where the light is incident from the right end surface 501a, the portion of the light emitting region 506 emits light, but the portion other than the light emitting region 506 is maintained in a colorless and transparent state.

In the feature portion 75SG, the light emitting region 506 is formed in a concavo-convex state forming a substantially semicircular shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be configured by a molding method in which an uneven portion is provided on the back surface (rear surface) of 501. In addition, the reflective part is configured by a silk printing method in which reflective dots are printed on an acrylic plate with white ink, a sticking dot method in which the acrylic plate and the reflector are attached with a dot-shaped adhesive, a groove processing method, and the like. You may.

In the feature portion 75SG, the shape of each unevenness of the light emitting region 506 on the back surface (rear surface) of the light guide plate 501 is substantially a semicircular shape in a cross-sectional view, but the present invention is not limited to this. The cross-sectional shape of each unevenness of the light emitting region 506 can be variously deformed as long as it constitutes a reflecting surface capable of reflecting light toward the front (front surface), such as a substantially triangular shape.

The condenser lens 504 is formed in the shape of a long plate extending in the vertical direction by a translucent member such as acrylic or polycarbonate. On the surface of the condenser lens 504 on the light guide plate 501 side, a plurality of semicircular convex portions 504A that bulge toward the light guide plate 501 side when viewed from the front are continuously formed in the vertical direction. The condenser lens 504 is composed of a single member in which a plurality of convex portions 504A are integrally provided. Each convex portion 504A is formed one by one corresponding to each of the light guide plate LED 502.

The convex portion 504A is not limited to one-to-one correspondence with the light guide plate LED 502, and for example, one convex portion 504A may correspond to two or more light guide plate LEDs 502. Further, the condensing lens 504 is not limited to being composed of a single member in which a plurality of convex portions 504A are integrally provided, and a plurality of condensing lenses separately formed corresponding to the light guide plate LED 502. You may use it.

As shown in FIG. 10-6 (C), the front-rear width of the condenser lens 504 on the light guide plate 501 side is smaller than the front-rear width of the condenser lens 504 on the light guide plate LED 502 side. Further, since the front-rear width of the light guide plate 501 side of the condenser lens 504 is substantially the same as the front-rear width of the light receiving surface of the light guide plate 501, the light emitted from the condenser lens 504 is diffused in the front-rear direction. It is incident on the light guide plate 501 without any light leakage.

The front surface of the condenser lens 504 is a flat inclined surface that gradually inclines backward from the light guide plate LED 502 side toward the light guide plate 501 side, and the rear surface of the condenser lens 504 is a light guide plate from the light guide plate LED 502 side. It is a flat inclined surface that gradually inclines forward toward the 501 side. That is, the condenser lens 504 is formed in a tapered shape in which the thickness gradually decreases from the light guide plate LED 502 side toward the light guide plate 501 side.

Further, a slight gap is provided between the condenser lens 504 and the light guide plate 501. For example, the gap between the gaps is such that the condenser lens 504 and the light guide plate 501 do not come into contact with each other even when vibration occurs during transportation or use of the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001. As a result, it is possible to prevent the condenser lens 504 and the light guide plate 501 from being scratched by the vibration generated during the transportation and use of the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001.

Next, the light guide state of the light emitted from the light guide plate LED 502 will be described. The emitted light emitted from each light guide plate LED 502 is incident on the condenser lens 504. Here, since the incident surface of the condenser lens 504 is formed in a curved shape so as to form a lens surface, the incident surface is incident on the condenser lens 504 even when the directivity of the light emitted from the light guide plate LED 502 is high. The light is diffused radially in the condensing lens 504 in the left-right direction. Then, the light incident on the condenser lens 504 is refracted to the right and emitted when passing through the inner curved lens surface.

As a result, even when the directivity of the light emitted from the light guide plate LED 502 is high, the light emitted from the light guide plate LED 502 can be diffused radially to some extent by the condenser lens 504, and the light emitting region in the light guide plate 501 can be diffused to some extent. Can be expanded. Further, since the light emitted from the condenser lens 504 is guided in the horizontal direction (because the radial spread is suppressed), only the portion corresponding to each light guide plate LED 502 can be emitted. Further, the light incident on the light guide plate LED 502 from the light guide plate LED 502 is collected toward a substantially central position in the front-rear direction while repeating total internal reflection in the front-rear direction, and finally the light guide plate of the light guide plate 504 of the light guide plate 504. It is emitted from the end face on the 501 side (the portion having the smallest front-rear width).

With such a configuration, the light from the light guide plate LED 502 can be collected and guided to the light guide plate 501 without being diffused in the front-rear direction. In particular, even when the front-rear width of the light emitting surface of the light guide plate LED 502 is larger than the front-rear width of the light guide plate LED 502 side of the condenser lens 504, the light from the light guide plate LED 502 is not diffused in the front-rear direction. Since it can be guided to 501, it is possible to prevent the light from the light guide plate LED 502 from being diffused to the surroundings.

When the light from the condenser lens 504 is guided into the light guide plate 501 and reaches the light emitting region 506, the light is reflected in the light emitting region 506 toward the front side (player's side). As a result, from the player's point of view, the light emitting region 506 of the light guide plate 501 emits light by reflected light, so that the region represented by halftone dots in FIG. 10-5 emits surface light on the front surface of the light guide plate 501. The figure will be displayed with.

As shown in FIG. 10-4, the image display device 5 is arranged in the back and the light guide plate device 500 is arranged in the front when viewed from the player (in the front-rear direction). From the player's point of view, the image display device 5 has a horizontally long rectangular shape. For example, the image display device 5 uses a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel. The image display device 5 is not limited to the liquid crystal display device, and an EL display device such as an organic EL display device or an inorganic EL display device may be used.

As shown in FIGS. 10-7 to 10-9, the first effect unit 300 is arranged so as to cover the base member 301 and the front surface side of the base member 301, and is attached to the base member 301 by a plurality of screws N1. Mainly composed of a cover member 302 to be mounted and an LED substrate 303 attached to the front surface of the base member 301 by a plurality of screws N2, from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001, that is, from the player side facing the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001. It is provided so as to be visible through the glass window 50a and the board plate 200.

The base member 301 is formed of a non-translucent synthetic resin material in a horizontally long shape when viewed from the front, and its surfaces (front-rear surface and peripheral surface) are black. The front surface of the base member 301 includes a flat portion 311 made of a flat surface, a horizontally long rectangular concave portion 312 formed in the lower part of the flat portion 311 and a rear wall portion 313A to be located slightly behind the flat portion 311. It has 313D and.

A plurality of trapezoidal convex portions 314A to 314E forming a part of the decorative pattern 331 described later are formed in the longitudinal direction on the upper portion of the flat portion 311. Parts 313A to 313D can be visually recognized. The rear wall portions 313A to 313D are formed so as to be inclined rearward toward the upper side (see FIG. 10-9 (B)). Further, a predetermined decorative pattern 341 is engraved on the front surface of the rear wall portions 313A to 313D.

As shown in FIG. 10-9, the recess 312 has a horizontally long rectangular shape in the front view, has a depth capable of accommodating the LED substrate 303, and is formed so as to be surrounded by the flat portion 311 in the front view. ing. Then, in the state where the LED board 303 is attached, the front surface of the LED board 303 and the flat portion 311 are substantially flush with each other, and only the first effect LED 304, which will be described later, is located in front of the flat portion 311. There is. Further, the recess 312 is formed with a plurality of vertically elongated heat dissipation holes 315 and an opening 316 for routing a cable (not shown) connected to the LED substrate 303 to the back side.

As shown in FIGS. 10-8 to 10-9, a plurality of first effect LEDs 304 and other electronic components (not shown) capable of irradiating light toward the front are mounted on the front surface of the LED substrate 303. A plurality of printed wirings 320 are formed (see the enlarged view of FIG. 10-10 (B)). On the other hand, on the back surface of the LED board 303, a board-side connector CN and electronic components (not shown) for connecting a cable (not shown) to the LED board 303 are mounted. Further, the surface of the LED substrate 303 (insulating portion on the front surface and the back surface excluding the printed wiring 320) is black.

The cover member 302 is formed of a translucent (transparent) synthetic resin material in a horizontally long shape in front view, and has a first translucent portion 321 corresponding to a part of a flat portion 311 and a recess 312 of the base member 301. It mainly has second translucent portions 322A and 322B corresponding to the first effect LED 304. Further, at positions corresponding to the convex portions 314A to 314E of the base member 301, a plurality of trapezoidal convex portions 324A to 324E are formed in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in FIG. 10-9, the front surface of the second translucent portions 322A and 322B protrudes forward from the front surface of the first translucent portion 321, and the concave portion 322D is formed on the back surface. The LED 304 for the first effect can be accommodated. Further, a light diffusing portion 322C composed of fine uneven portions is formed on the back surface of the second translucent portions 322A and 322B, so that the light from the rear first effect LED 304 can be diffused and emitted forward. ing. The uneven portion may be formed by, for example, sandblasting or diamond-cutting, and the forming method, shape, and the like can be variously changed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-10 (C), the first translucent portion 321 is provided with a plurality of decorative patterns 331 having a hexagonal front view. Specifically, one decorative pattern 331 forms a horizontally long rectangular shape in front view with a decorative portion 331A composed of a plurality of horizontal lines extending in the left-right direction and decorative portions 331B and 331C composed of inclined lines extending in the diagonally left and diagonally right directions. A plurality of decorative patterns 331 are continuously provided by having a decorative portion 331D and a decorative portion 331E having a triangular shape in a front view, and by sharing the decorative portions 331A to 331C with adjacent decorative patterns 331. ..

Further, in each of these decorative portions 331A to 331E, for example, the back surface (or front surface) of the cover member 302 may be sandblasted to form fine uneven portions, or a translucent sticker or the like may be attached. As a result, each of the decorative portions 331A to 331E looks milky white or translucent when visually recognized from the player side.

As shown in FIG. 10-11 (A), the LED substrate 303 as an electronic component having the first effect LED 304 is arranged on the front side of the base member 301, and the front side thereof is covered with the cover member 302. ing. However, since the cover member 302 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material, it is possible for the player to visually recognize the front surface of the base member 301 and the LED substrate 303 through the cover member 302. be.

Here, by arranging the same black base member 301 around (periphery) the black LED substrate 303, the LED substrate 303 is assimilated with the surrounding base member 301, and the LED substrate 303 and the cover member 302 are assimilated. The boundary part BD with is difficult to understand. That is, it becomes difficult to understand that the LED substrate 303 is provided on a part of the front surface of the base member 301, so that the LED substrate 303, which is an electronic component, becomes inconspicuous.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10-11 (B), when the cover member 302 is attached to the front side of the base member 301 with the LED substrate 303 arranged in the recess 312 of the base member 301, the base member 301 and the LED substrate are attached. The cover member 302 is positioned high so as to cover the front surface of the 303, and while it is easy for the player to visually recognize the front surface of the base member 301 and the LED substrate 303 through the first translucent portion 321. It is difficult for the player to visually recognize the first effect LED 304 through the second translucent portions 322A and 322B. Further, by arranging the milky white or translucent decorative portions 331A to 331E applied to the cover member 302 on the front side of the base member 301 and the LED substrate 303, the milky white or translucent on the front side of the black background. The decorative pattern 331 can be visually recognized.

As shown in FIG. 10-12, in a state where the cover member 302 is arranged on the front surface side of the base member 301, a predetermined decorative pattern 331 of the plurality of decorative patterns 331 (for example, the decorative patterns 331J to 331M in FIG. 10-12) Etc.) are formed (provided) so as to straddle the LED substrate 303 and the cover member 302 when visually recognized from the player side. Specifically, the decorative portions 331B and 331C composed of inclined lines are arranged so as to intersect the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 303 and the cover member 302 facing in the left-right direction, and one decorative pattern 331 is two members (LEDs). Since it is provided so as to straddle the substrate 303 and the cover member 302), it looks as if one decorative pattern 331 is provided on one member. Therefore, the LED substrate 303 and the cover member 302 on the back side thereof It becomes difficult to recognize that is a separate member.

Further, since a part of the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 303 and the cover member 302 is difficult to see from the player side due to the decorative portions 331B and 331C overlapping on the front side, the LED substrate 303 becomes inconspicuous. Since the decorative portions 331B and 331C are linear, even if they are arranged so as to overlap the front surface side of the boundary portion BD, the area overlapping with the boundary portion BD is small, but the decorative pattern 331 covers the LED substrate 303. Since it is formed over almost the entire front surface of the member 302, it becomes difficult to recognize that the LED substrate 303 and the cover member 302 are separate members.

Further, since the decorative portion 331A of each decorative pattern 331 is arranged substantially parallel to the boundary portion BD, the mode is similar to that of the boundary portion BD, so that it is difficult to distinguish the decorative portion 331A, and the decorative portion 331A is arranged on the front side of the boundary portion BD. In addition, in the case of milky white, which has a higher brightness than black, it is conspicuous, so that the LED substrate 303 is less conspicuous. By arranging the decorative portion 331A so as to overlap along the boundary portion BD, a part of the boundary portion BD may be difficult to see from the player side by the decorative portion 331A.

Further, these decorative portions 331A to 331C are formed in a linear shape like the printed wiring 320 provided on the LED substrate 303, and are arranged substantially parallel to a part of the printed wiring 320, whereby the printed wiring is printed. Since the wiring pattern and the mode of the 320 are similar (or common), it is difficult to distinguish them, so that the LED substrate 303 is not conspicuous.

Further, the decorative portions 331D and 331E are different in mode from the printed wiring 320 and the boundary portion BD, but are more conspicuous than the printed wiring 320 and the boundary portion BD because they are thicker and have a larger area than the printed wiring 320 and the boundary portion BD. Further, since a part of the printed wiring 320 is overlapped on the front side of the printed wiring 320, the printed wiring 320 becomes difficult to see, so that the LED substrate 303 becomes inconspicuous.

Further, on the front surface of each of the rear wall portions 313A to 313D of the base member 301, a decorative pattern 341 composed of vertically flattened hexagonal linear convex portions is provided so as to be visible from the player side. The decorative pattern 341 is similar (or common) to the wiring pattern of the printed wiring 320, so that the mode is similar to the wiring pattern of the printed wiring 320 even in the region of the base member 301 not covered by the cover member 302. Since the decorative pattern 341 can be formed, the LED substrate 303 becomes inconspicuous.

Further, the base member 301 has rear wall portions 313A to 313D as a predetermined region that can be visually recognized from the player side without passing through the cover member 302, and the rear wall portions 313A to 313D are provided on the cover member 302. Since the decorative pattern 341 as a predetermined decorative pattern having the same or similar aspect as the decorative pattern 331 is provided, it becomes difficult to understand that the base member 301 and the cover member 302 are different members, and thus the LED substrate. The 303 becomes less noticeable.

Further, since the LED substrate 303 is arranged in the recess 312 formed in the lower part of the base member 301, the LED substrate 303 is located below the upper region of the recess 312 in the base member 301, that is, at a position separated from the image display device 5. Since it is provided, it is located at a position away from the image display device 5 that the player pays attention to, so that it is less noticeable.

As described above, the predetermined decorative pattern 331 (for example, the decorative patterns 331J to 331M in FIG. 10-12) among the plurality of decorative patterns 331 is attached to the LED substrate 303 and the cover member 302 when visually recognized from the player side. By being provided so as to straddle the LED substrate 303, which is an electronic component, the LED substrate 303 becomes inconspicuous. Therefore, even electronic components such as the LED substrate 303, which should not be shown to the player from the viewpoint of appearance and design, can be provided on the front side which can be seen from the player side, so that the degree of freedom in design is high. Can be enhanced.

(Variable winning ball unit 700)
Next, the variable winning ball unit 700 will be briefly described with reference to FIGS. 10-13. 10-13 are a front view showing a variable winning ball unit in FIG. 10-13, and a cross-sectional view taken along the line FF in FIG. 10B.

As shown in FIG. 10-13, the variable winning ball unit 700 has a base member 701 attached to the board surface plate 200 from the front side and a cover member 702 provided on the front side of the base member 701, and the variable winning ball unit 700. The device 6B and the special variable winning ball device 7 are integrally provided as a unit.

A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided in the upper right of the variable winning ball unit 700, and a variable winning ball device 6B is provided in the lower left. Between, the game ball path 705A in which the game ball (game ball P) can enter the large winning opening of the special variable winning ball device 7, and the game ball (game ball) in the second starting winning opening of the variable winning ball device 6B. A game ball path 705B through which P) can enter is provided. Further, below the special variable winning ball device 7, an LED substrate 703 provided with a plurality of effect LEDs 704 capable of irradiating light toward the front is provided.

The base member 701 and the cover member 702 are made of a translucent synthetic resin material. Therefore, it is possible to visually recognize the game ball passing through the game ball paths 705A and 705B through the cover plate 702A from the player side.

(1st production unit 300 and variable winning ball unit 700)
Next, the first effect unit 300 and the variable winning ball unit 700 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-14 to 10-16. 10-14 are cross-sectional views showing the main parts of the first effect unit, and (C) and (D) are cross-sectional views showing the main parts of the variable winning ball unit. FIG. 10-15 is a diagram for comparing the first effect unit and the variable winning ball unit. FIG. 10-16 is a diagram for explaining similar colors.

First, as shown in FIG. 10-3, the first effect unit 300 and the variable winning ball unit 700 are arranged side by side at the lower position of the image display device 5, and when visually recognized from the player side, the first effect unit 300 and the variable winning ball unit 700 are arranged side by side. 1 The right end of the effect unit 300 is provided so as to overlap or be close to the left end of the variable winning ball unit 700. Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-4 and 10-13 (B), the front portion of the variable winning ball unit 700 is arranged on the front side of the board surface plate 200, while the first effect unit 300 is the board surface plate 200. It is located on the back side of.

As shown in FIGS. 10-14 (A) and 10-14 (B), the front-rear dimension L1A, which is the plate thickness dimension of the cover member 302 in the first translucent portion 321 of the first effect unit 300, is the second translucent portion 322A, 322B. It is made longer than the front-rear dimension L1B, which is the plate thickness dimension of the cover member 302 in (L1A> L1B).

In the first translucent portion 321 of the cover member 302, among the light entering from the front in the direction (T direction) orthogonal to the front surface of the first transmissive portion 321, the transmittance of the light transmitted in the T direction is XA. %. Further, in the second translucent portions 322A and 322B of the cover member 302, among the light entering from the front in the direction (T direction) orthogonal to the front surface of the second transmissive portions 322A and 322B, the light is transmitted in the T direction. The light transmittance is XB%. That is, not all (100%) of the light that has entered the first translucent portion 321 and the second transmissive portions 322A and 322B from the front is transmitted in the T direction, and some of the light is reflected at the front surface. , It is emitted in a direction different from the T direction (so as to spread around) at the rear. In particular, the second translucent portions 322A and 322B have a light diffusing portion 322C formed of uneven portions on the back surface, so that light is more easily transmitted in a direction different from the T direction than the first transmissive portion 321. , The transmittance of light in the T direction is lower than the transmittance of the first translucent portion 321 (transparency is low. XA%> XB%).

As shown in FIGS. 10-14 (C) and 10-14 (D), in the cover plate 702A, among the light entering from the front in the direction orthogonal to the front surface (T direction), the transmittance of the light transmitted in the T direction is Y. %. Here, the front-rear dimension L2 of the cover plate 702A is shorter than the front-rear dimensions L1A and L1B of the first translucent portion 321 and the second translucent portions 322A and 322B of the cover member 302 (L2 <L1A, L2 <L1B), the light incident from the front is guided in the T direction inside and is hard to be diffused to the surroundings until it is emitted from the back, and there is no light diffusing part like the second transmissive parts 322A and 322B. Since it is a flat plate, the light transmittance of the cover plate 702A in the T direction is higher than the light transmittance of the cover member 302 in the T direction (Y%> XA%, Y%> XB%).

In other words, since the translucency of the cover member 302 is lower than the translucency of the cover plate 702A, a predetermined portion (for example, a game) on the back surface side of the cover plate 702A is passed through the cover plate 702A from the player side. Rather than visually recognizing the ball P), the case where the player sees through the cover member 302 and visually recognizes a predetermined portion (for example, the first effect LED 304 or the LED substrate 303) on the back surface side of the cover member 302. However, since the visibility is low, the LED substrate 303 including the first effect LED 304, which is an electronic component, becomes inconspicuous.

As shown in FIG. 10-15, in the first effect unit 300, the LED substrate 303 including the first effect LED 304, which is an electronic component, and the base member 301 arranged around the LED substrate 303 have the same color (black). , The LED substrate 303 is less noticeable. Further, the front-rear dimensions L1A and L1B of the cover member 302 of the first production unit 300 are longer than the front-rear dimensions L2 of the cover plate 702A of the variable winning ball unit 700 (L1A, L1B> L2), and the first production unit. The light transmittance (XA%, XA%) of the cover member 302 of the 300 in the T direction is lower than the light transmittance (Y%) of the cover member 702 of the variable winning ball unit 700 in the T direction. (Y%> XA%, Y%> XB%), the LED substrate 303 is less noticeable.

Therefore, when the first effect unit 300 and the variable winning ball unit 700 provided at a position (right side) different from the first effect unit 300 are visually recognized from the player side, the cover member 702 is transparent. Since the visibility when the LED substrate 303 is visually recognized through the cover member 302 is lower than the visibility when the game ball P is visually recognized, the variable winning ball unit 700 located in the vicinity of the first production unit 300. The LED substrate 303 arranged on the back side of the cover member 302, which is a translucent member, becomes more difficult to see. Further, the cover member 302 is arranged on the back side of the cover plate 702A, and the base member 301 and the LED substrate 303 are dark black, so that the LED substrate 303 becomes less noticeable.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the present embodiment, an embodiment in which the LED substrate 303, which is an electronic component, and the base member 301, which is a specific member arranged around the LED substrate 303, are of the same color (black) is illustrated, but the present invention illustrates the embodiment. The color is not limited to this, and the electronic component and the specific member may not be the same color, and may be, for example, similar colors or similar colors.

Color has three attributes: hue (hue), lightness (brightness), and saturation (vividness). 2. A combination of colors (adjacent colors) that have the same tone (hue group with the same brightness (brightness) and saturation (vividness)) but are adjacent to each other on the hue. 2. A combination of different tones but the same hue. Includes color combinations that differ only in lightness or saturation.

Here, an example of the above "1. Combination of colors having the same tone (hue group having the same brightness (brightness) and saturation (vividness)) but adjacent colors on the hue (adjacent colors)" is shown in FIG. 10-16. To explain based on this, when cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y), which are the three primary colors of the colorants, are arranged at an angle interval of 120 degrees in a predetermined number of hue circles (24 colors in this case). Each of the three colors is non-similar to each other. Colors having a hue difference in the range of 30 to 60 degrees in the angle of the color wheel are “similar colors” and are not limited to combinations of adjacent colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel.

For example, when cyan (C) is used as a reference color, colors belonging to the range of 30 degrees on the magenta (M) side and 30 degrees on the yellow (Y) side (60 degrees in total) are similar to cyan (C). When magenta (M) is used as the reference color, colors belonging to the range of 30 degrees on the cyan (C) side and 30 degrees on the yellow (Y) side (60 degrees in total) become similar colors to magenta (M), and yellow (M). When Y) is used as the reference color, the color belonging to the range of 30 degrees on the cyan (C) side and 30 degrees on the magenta (M) side (60 degrees in total) is a similar color of yellow (Y). Therefore, even when the number of colors in the color wheel is less than 24 colors or 24 colors or more, a combination of colors having a hue difference in the range of 30 to 60 degrees in terms of the angle of the color wheel may be referred to as "similar colors".

In addition, similar colors include warm colors such as red and yellow, which are chromatic colors that make you feel warm, and cool colors such as blue and purple, which are chromatic colors that make you feel cold. It is preferable to include a color combination contained in a neutral color which is a chromatic color located between a warm color and a cold color.

(2nd production unit 400)
Next, the second effect unit 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-17 to 10-19. 10-17 is a front view showing the second effect unit in FIG. 10-17, and FIG. 10-17 is a front view showing the second effect unit in a state where the cover member is removed. 10-18 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line GG of FIG. 10-17 (A), and FIG. 10B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line HH of FIG. 10-17 (A). 10-19 is a diagram for explaining the boundary between the base member and the LED substrate, and FIG. 10-19 is a diagram showing the configuration of the second effect unit.

As shown in FIGS. 10-17 and 10-18, the second effect unit 400 includes a base member 401, a cover member 402 arranged so as to cover the front surface side of the base member 401, and the front surface of the base member 401. It is mainly composed of an LED board 403 attached to the LED board 403 and an inner lens 405 arranged on the front side of the LED board 403. It is provided so as to be visible through the glass window 50a and the light guide plate 501 from the front of the pachinko machine, that is, from the player side facing the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001.

The base member 401 is formed of a non-translucent synthetic resin material in a substantially half-moon shape when viewed from the front, and its surfaces (front-rear surface and peripheral surface) are white.

The LED substrate 403 has a substantially quadrangular shape in front view, and is attached to the front end of a boss projecting from the front surface of the base member 401. A plurality of second effect LEDs 404A and 404B and other electronic components (not shown) are mounted on the front surface of the LED substrate 403. Further, on the back surface of the LED substrate 403, a plurality of second effect LEDs 404C capable of irradiating light upward, a plurality of second effect LED 404D capable of irradiating light downward, and other electronic components (illustrated). (Omitted) is installed. The second effect LEDs 404A to 404D are angle-type LEDs capable of irradiating light in parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface of the LED substrate 403. Further, the surface of the LED substrate 403 (insulating portion excluding the printed wiring on the front surface and the back surface) is white.

The inner lens 405 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material, is formed in substantially the same shape as the LED substrate 403, and is arranged along the upper side of the front surface of the LED substrate 403 with a plurality of second effect LEDs 404A. It is arranged between a plurality of second effect LEDs 404B arranged along the lower side of the front surface of the LED substrate 403, and light from the second effect LED 404A is incident on the front end surface, and the light from the second effect LED 404B is incident on the front end surface. Light is incident on the rear end face.

As shown in FIG. 10-18 (A), on the back surface of the inner lens 405, the light incident from the second effect LEDs 404A and 404B is reflected forward by the reflecting portion 406 for reflecting the light incident forward. Then, the light is emitted forward substantially evenly from the entire front surface of the inner lens 405. Since the front surface of the inner lens 405 is a flat surface, it emits surface light like a light guide plate.

The reflecting portion 406 is formed in a concavo-convex state (rough surface) in which the cross-sectional view of the light guided through the inside of the inner lens 405 in the traveling direction forms a substantially triangular wave shape with a constant pitch. Specifically, it is configured by a molding method in which an uneven portion is formed on the back surface of the inner lens 405 by a stamper or injection. For example, a silk printing method in which reflective dots are printed on an acrylic plate with white ink, or an acrylic plate and reflection. The reflective portion may be formed by a sticking dot method in which a plate is attached with a dot-shaped adhesive material, a grooving method, or the like.

The cover member 402 has a box shape with a back opening made of a translucent (transparent) synthetic resin material, and is formed so as to cover the front side of the base member 401 and the LED substrate 403. At a position on the front surface of the cover member 402 corresponding to the LED substrate 403, a convex portion 410 having a slightly enlarged shape of the LED substrate 403 when viewed from the front is projected forward.

On the front surface of the convex portion 410, the decorative portion 420 composed of the letter "V" (logotype) is printed with a colored paint having translucency or a translucent sheet on which the letters are printed is attached. As a result, it is provided so that light can be transmitted. Further, a light diffusing portion 402A formed of a concavo-convex portion is formed on the back surface of the convex portion 410 so that the light from the inner lens 405 can be diffused and emitted forward.

In the upper region of the convex portion 410 on the back surface of the cover member 402, a plurality of convex strip portions 421A projecting to the back surface side are extended in the vertical direction at positions corresponding to the respective second effect LED 404C. Further, in the lower region of the convex portion 410 on the back surface of the cover member 402, a plurality of convex strip portions 421B projecting to the back surface side are extended in the vertical direction at positions corresponding to the respective second effect LEDs 404D. It should be noted that a light diffusing portion made of uneven portions may also be formed on the back surface of the cover member 402 where the convex portions 421A and 421B are not formed. Further, the cover member 402 is formed so as to incline rearward from the convex portion 410 toward the upper side and the lower side.

The plurality of convex portions 421A and 421B have uneven portions continuously formed on the rear end surfaces and stepped portions 421C formed at intermediate positions in the longitudinal direction, and are directed upward and downward from the convex portions 410. By extending the light so as to incline to the rear side, the light emitted upward and downward from the second effect LEDs 404C and 404D can be received from these uneven portions and the stepped portion 421C, and also enters. The emitted light is diffused by the uneven portion and emitted forward.

In this way, in the second effect unit 400, when the second effect LEDs 404A and 404B emit light, the light from the second effect LEDs 404A and 404B is emitted forward by the inner lens 405 and the light emitted forward by the inner lens 405 is convex on the cover member 402. By being incident on the region corresponding to the portion 410, the entire front surface of the convex portion 410 including the decorative portion 420 emits surface light.

As shown in FIG. 10-19 (A), the LED substrate 403 as an electronic component having the second effect LEDs 404A to 404D is arranged on the front side of the base member 401, and the front side thereof is formed by the cover member 402. It is covered. However, since the cover member 402 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material, it is assumed that the light diffusing portion is formed on the cover member 402 in a portion other than the convex portions 421A and 421B from the player side. However, it is possible to visually recognize the front surface of the base member 401 and the LED substrate 403 through the portions other than the convex portions 421A and 421B.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10-19 (B), by arranging the same white base member 401 around (periphery) the white LED substrate 403, the LED substrate 403 and the surrounding base member 401 Assimilated, the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 403 and the cover member 402 becomes difficult to understand. That is, it becomes difficult to understand that the LED substrate 403 is provided on a part of the front surface of the base member 401, so that the LED substrate 403, which is an electronic component, becomes inconspicuous.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-19 (A), the decorative portion 420 provided on the front surface of the convex portion 410 is a boundary between the LED substrate 403, which is an electronic component, and the base member 401 when visually recognized from the player side. It is provided at a position corresponding to a part of the upper side and the lower side in the portion BD. That is, since a part of the decorative portion 420 is arranged so as to hang (overlap) a part of the boundary portion BD on the front side of the boundary portion BD, a part of the boundary portion BD is arranged by the decorative portion 420. By making it difficult to see, the LED substrate 403 becomes inconspicuous. Therefore, even electronic components such as the LED board 403, which should not be shown to the player from the viewpoint of appearance and design, can be provided on the front side which can be seen from the player side, so that the degree of freedom in design is high. Can be enhanced.

Further, the decorative portion 420 is provided so that the area covering (overlapping) the front surface side of the boundary portion BD is larger than that of the above-mentioned decorative pattern 331, and the boundary portion BD is made difficult to see, so that the LED substrate 403 Is obscured.

In the present embodiment, the decorative portion 420 partially hangs (overlaps) at a position corresponding to a part of the upper side and the lower side of the boundary portion BD when visually recognized from the player side. The present invention is not limited to this, and the decorative portion 420 may be arranged at a position corresponding to all the portions of the boundary portion BD. It is preferable that the boundary portion BD is provided so as to overlap about 1/3 or more of the boundary portion BD.

Further, since the letter "V" is displayed as the logotype on the decorative portion 420, it becomes difficult for the player to pay attention to the logotype and be aware of the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 403 and the base member 401. Therefore, the LED substrate 403 becomes inconspicuous.

In the present embodiment, a form in which the letter "V" indicating a big hit is applied as a logotype is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and "big hit", "BONUS", and "RUSH" are used. , Etc., characters indicating a variable display result, characters suggesting a big hit such as "heat", "extreme heat", "!!", and characters such as the model name, title, and the name of the character appearing in the game machine may be used. Further, not only characters but also decorations such as characters, symbols, patterns, patterns, and patterns may be displayed as decorations.

Further, the LED substrate 403 has a second effect LED 404A as a light emitting means capable of causing the decorative portion 420 to emit light, so that the decorative portion 420 stands out due to the light emission, so that the player can use the LED substrate 403 and the base member 401. Since it becomes difficult to be aware of the boundary portion BD with the LED substrate 403, the LED substrate 403 becomes inconspicuous.

Further, in the second effect LED 404A, the decorative portion 420 is provided so that the decorative portion 420 can emit surface light through the inner lens 405, so that the decorative portion 420 stands out due to the surface emission, so that the player can make the LED substrate 403. Since it becomes difficult to be aware of the boundary portion BD between the base member 401 and the base member 401, the LED substrate 403 becomes inconspicuous.

Further, in the present embodiment, an embodiment in which the decorative portion 420 is a single decorative portion composed of the letter "V" is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the convex portion 410 of the cover member 402 is not limited to this. When a plurality of decorative portions 420 are provided in the area of the cover member 402 and a plurality of predetermined decorative portions (for example, a pattern) having a mode different from that of the decorative portion 420 are provided in an area other than the convex portion 410 of the cover member 402, the plurality of decorations are provided. It is preferable that the number of portions is larger than that of a plurality of predetermined decorative portions. By doing so, the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 403 and the base member 401 becomes difficult to see due to the plurality of decorative portions, and the number of the boundary portion BD becomes more conspicuous than the plurality of predetermined decorative portions provided in other areas. Therefore, the LED substrate 403 becomes inconspicuous.

In this case, it is sufficient that the plurality of decorative portions and the plurality of predetermined decorative portions have different modes. For example, the predetermined decorative portion may be an enlarged or reduced mode of the decorative portion, and the outer shape, form, and the like. Any one of the color, size, and the like may be different.

Further, the cover member 402 has a convex portion 410 which is a boundary corresponding region corresponding to the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 403 and the base member 401, and a convex portion 410 which does not correspond to the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 403 and the base member 401. It has a region other than the convex portion 410, and the translucency of the convex portion 410 may be lower than the translucency of the region other than the convex portion 410. By doing so, it becomes difficult for the player to see the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 403 and the base member 401 through the convex portion 410, so that the LED substrate 403 becomes inconspicuous.

As a result, it is provided so that light can be transmitted. Further, a light diffusing portion 602A formed of an uneven portion is formed on the back surface of the cover member 602 so that the light from the inner lens 605 can be diffused and emitted forward.

In the present embodiment, a form in which the character "XXX" indicating a big hit is applied as a logotype is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the model name, title, and appearance of the gaming machine appear. Characters such as the name of a character, characters indicating a variable display result such as "big hit", "BONUS", and "RUSH", and characters suggesting a big hit such as "heat", "super heat", and "!!" may be used. Further, not only characters but also decorations such as characters, symbols, patterns, patterns, and patterns may be displayed as decorations.

In this way, in the third effect unit 600, when the third effect LEDs 604A and 604B emit light, the light emitted forward from the third effect LEDs 604A and 604B through the inner lens 605 is further covered with the cover member 602. The entire front surface of the cover member 602 including the decorative portion 620 emits light by being diffused through and emitted forward.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-20, the plurality of third effect LEDs 604A are arranged along the peripheral edge of the character "XXX" constituting the decorative portion 620, and the plurality of third effect LEDs 604B are decorative. It is arranged at a position that does not correspond to the portion 620. By arranging the plurality of third effect LEDs 604A along the periphery of the characters "XXX" constituting the decorative portion 620 in this way, when the third effect LED 604A emits light, the "XXX" Since the peripheral edge of the character is lit, the shape of the decorative portion 620 can be easily recognized.

Further, the power transmission member 632, which forms a part of the power transmission member that transmits power to the light emitting effect unit 630, is rotatably supported by a rotation shaft having one end facing the front-rear direction, and emits light at the other end. Although it is an arm member provided with the effect unit 630, the power transmission member can be changed in various ways, and if the power can be transmitted so that the light emission effect unit 630 can be moved in the vertical direction, a rack gear, a pinion gear, or the like can be used. There may be.

(4th production unit 800)
As shown in FIGS. 10-20 and 10-21 (B), the fourth effect unit 800 includes a base member 801 and a cover member 802 arranged so as to cover the front surface side of the base member 801 and a base member. It is mainly composed of an LED substrate 803 attached to the front surface of the 801 and an inner lens 805 arranged on the front surface side of the LED substrate 803, and as shown in FIG. 10-20, the area surrounded by the guide rails 211. In the upper left, the front of the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001, that is, the player side facing the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001 is provided so as to be visible through the glass window 50a and the board plate 200.

The base member 801 is formed of a non-translucent synthetic resin material in a box shape having a front opening, and a part of the peripheral edge thereof is formed in an arc shape along the guide rail 211. The surfaces (front and rear surfaces and peripheral surfaces) are white.

The LED substrate 803 is formed so as to have a smaller front view shape than the base member 801 and is attached to the front end of a boss (not shown) erected on the front surface of the base member 801. A plurality of fourth effect LEDs 804 and other electronic components (not shown) are mounted on the front surface of the LED substrate 803. The fourth effect LED 804 is an angle type LED capable of irradiating light in parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface of the LED substrate 803, and a plurality of the fourth effect LED 804 are arranged along the peripheral edge portion on the front surface of the LED substrate 803. Further, the surface of the LED substrate 803 (insulating portion excluding the printed wiring on the front surface and the back surface) is white.

The inner lens 805 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material, and is placed in a region surrounded by a plurality of fourth effect LEDs 804 on the front surface of the LED substrate 803.

As shown in FIG. 10-21 (B), the back surface of the inner lens 805 is reflected forward by a reflecting unit 806 for reflecting the light incident from the fourth effect LED 804 toward the front. It is emitted forward substantially evenly from the entire front surface of the inner lens 805. Since the front surface of the inner lens 805 is a flat surface, it emits surface light like a light guide plate.

The cover member 802 is formed of a translucent (transparent) synthetic resin material, and is formed so as to cover the front side of the base member 801 and the LED substrate 803. Specifically, the cover member 802 does not cover the front end of the standing wall 801A of the portion of the standing wall erected on the front peripheral edge of the base member 801 along the guide rail 211, and the standing wall 801B other than the portion along the guide rail 211. It covers the front end. Further, a light diffusing portion 802A formed of an uneven portion is formed on the back surface of the cover member 802 so that the light from the inner lens 805 can be diffused and emitted forward.

In this way, in the fourth effect unit 800, when the fourth effect LED 804 emits light, the light emitted forward from the fourth effect LED 804 through the inner lens 805 further passes through the cover member 802. By being diffused and emitted forward, the entire front surface of the cover member 802 emits surface light.

Next, the third effect unit 600 and the fourth effect unit 800 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 10-24, in the third effect unit 600 and the fourth effect unit 800, the surfaces of the base members 601, 801 and the LED substrates 603 and 803 are white, which are the same color, and these base members 601, The front side of the 801 and the LED substrate 603 and 803 is covered with a transparent cover member 602 and 802, and the light emitting effect body that emits light on the front surface when the third effect LED 604A and 604B and the fourth effect LED 804 are turned on. Has been done.

As shown in FIGS. 10-20 and 10-21 (A), the LED substrate 603 as an electronic component having the third effect LEDs 604A and 604B is arranged on the front side of the base member 601 and the front side thereof is covered. It is covered with a member 602. However, since the cover member 602 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material, even if the light diffusing portion 602A is formed on the cover member 602, the cover member 602 can be seen through from the player side. Although it is possible to visually recognize the back side, an inner lens 605 having a light diffusing portion 605A formed on the front and rear surfaces is provided on the back side so as to cover the LED substrate 603 from the front side. Although it is possible to visually recognize the front surface of the LED substrate 603, it is extremely difficult to visually recognize the front surface.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10-21 (A), the vertical wall of the same white base member 601 is arranged around (periphery) the white LED substrate 603, so that the LED substrate 603 is a base member around the white LED substrate 603. Assimilated with 601 it is difficult to understand the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 603 and the cover member 602. That is, since it is difficult to understand that the LED substrate 603 is provided on the base member 601, the LED substrate 603, which is an electronic component, is less noticeable.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10-20 and 10-21 (B), the LED substrate 803 as an electronic component having the fourth effect LED 804 is arranged on the front side of the base member 801 and is arranged on the front side thereof. Is covered with a cover member 802. However, since the cover member 802 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material, even if the light diffusing portion 802A is formed on the cover member 802, the cover member 802 is transparent from the player side. It is possible to visually recognize the front surface of the base member 801 and the LED substrate 803.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10-21 (B), by arranging the same white base member 801 around (periphery) the white LED substrate 803, the LED substrate 803 becomes a base member 801 around the white LED substrate 803. Assimilated, the boundary portion BD between the LED substrate 803 and the cover member 802 becomes difficult to understand. That is, it becomes difficult to understand that the LED substrate 803 is provided on a part of the front surface of the base member 801. Therefore, the LED substrate 803, which is an electronic component, becomes inconspicuous.

However, the fourth effect LED 804 is an angle type LED that injects light from the side end surface of the inner lens 805, and is arranged along the peripheral edge of the LED substrate 803, so that the LED including the fourth effect LED 804 is included. Since the front side of the front peripheral edge of the substrate 803 is not covered with the inner lens 805, and the inner lens 805 has a smaller area where the reflecting portion and the light diffusing portion are formed than the inner lens 605, the player The visibility when the LED substrate 803 including the 4th effect LED 804 is visually recognized through the inner lens 805 from the side is the LED substrate including the 3rd effect LEDs 604A and 604B through the inner lens 605 from the player side. It is higher than the visibility when the 603 is visually recognized. That is, the LED substrate 803 is more conspicuous than the LED substrate 603.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10-24, the light emitting effect unit 630 of the third effect unit 600 is larger than the LED substrate 803 of the fourth effect unit 800 when visually recognized from the player side (see FIG. 10-20). ), And the arrangement position of the front surface in the front-rear direction is in front of the arrangement position of the front surface of the fourth effect unit 800 (on the player side) (see FIGS. 10-22 and 10-23), and further, the fourth While the light emitting mode of the effect unit 800 by the fourth effect LED 804 is surface emission, the light emission mode of the third effect unit 600 by the third effect LEDs 604A and 604B is spotlight (see FIG. 10-25). In FIG. 10-25, the backgrounds of the third effect unit 600 and the fourth effect unit 800 are shown in black for convenience of explaining the light emitting mode.

As described above, the light emitting effect unit 630 of the third effect unit 600 is larger than the LED substrate 803 of the fourth effect unit 800 when visually recognized from the player side, is located close to the player, and emits light with strong light. Therefore, the visibility when visually recognized from the player side is considered to be higher than that of the fourth effect unit 800. That is, the third effect unit 600, which is an effect means having higher visibility when viewed from the player side than the fourth effect unit 800, is provided at a position near the fourth effect unit 800. Since the third effect unit 600 is more conspicuously attracting the attention of the player than the four effect unit 800, the LED substrate 803, which is an electronic component of the fourth effect unit 800, is less conspicuous.

In the present embodiment, the light emitting effect unit 630 of the third effect unit 600 is larger than the LED substrate 803 of the fourth effect unit 800 when visually recognized from the player side, and is located close to the player. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to the third effect. The light emitting effect unit 630 of the unit 600 is visible because at least one of the size when viewed from the player side, the position with respect to the player, and the light emitting mode is different from the LED substrate 803 of the fourth effect unit 800. Should be high.

Further, the front surface of the light emitting effect unit 630 of the third effect unit 600 as an effect means may be colored with a color having higher visibility than the surface color of the LED substrate 803, or a decorative part having a color having high visibility may be provided. By using the cover member 602 molded in a color having high visibility, the visibility of the light emitting effect unit 630 may be easily enhanced. Further, the visibility of the light emitting effect unit 630 may be easily enhanced by the light emitting mode (for example, lighting color, lighting mode, brightness, etc.) of the third effect LEDs 604A and 604B.

Further, as the effect means, an embodiment in which the light emitting effect unit 630 of the third effect unit 600, which can emit light by the light emitting means and can be operated by the effect motor 631, is applied has been exemplified, but the present invention is limited thereto. It may be a light emitting means (lamp unit or the like) provided around the fourth effect unit 800 in the gaming machine frame 3, or an effect means that does not emit light by the light emitting means, or may be a predetermined drive source. It may be an effect unit that does not operate and is fixed at a predetermined position.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-23, a protruding portion 3A (eaves) protruding forward from the gaming board 2 and the glass window 50a is formed on the upper front surface of the gaming machine frame 3. The protruding portion 3A is formed above the game area Y so as not to obstruct the visual recognition of the game ball passing through the upper part of the game area Y. When the game machine 75SG001 is installed on the game island of the game field, the area E1 below the protrusion 3A (the area indicated by the halftone dots in the figure) is shaded by the outside light of the game field blocked by the protrusion 3A. It gets dark.

Therefore, since the third effect unit 600 and the fourth effect unit 800 are provided at positions corresponding to the area E1 in the upper part of the game area Y, the LED substrates 603 and 803 are easily mixed with the shadow of the protrusion 3A. So it becomes less noticeable.

Further, above the LED boards 603 and 803, a protruding portion 3A that protrudes toward the player from the LED boards 603 and 803 is provided, and the protruding portion 3A is larger than the LED boards 603 and 803 ( (See FIG. 10-23), the LED substrates 603 and 803 become shadows of the protrusions 3A and become inconspicuous.

Further, the LED substrates 603 and 803 and the base members 601, 801 have been exemplified in the form of being white, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these may be dark colors (for example, black), as described above. By doing so, the LED substrates 603 and 803 and the base members 601, 801 are easily mixed with the shadow of the protruding portion 3A, so that they are less noticeable.

In the present embodiment, as a protrusion protruding toward the player above the electronic component and the specific member, a protrusion 3A protruding toward the player above the LED substrates 603 and 803 is applied. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the protruding portion is not limited to the protruding portion projecting from a part of the gaming machine frame 3, for example, the gaming board 2 or the game. It may be composed of other gaming devices (for example, a winning ball device) or a directing device provided in the area Y. Further, the protruding portion 3A is not only fixed to the front surface of the gaming machine frame 3, but also operates from the origin position to the protruding position at a predetermined timing, so that the player can move above the electronic parts and the specific member. It may be a protruding portion protruding to the side.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10-26, the light emitting region 506 of the light guide plate 501 is when the light emitting effect unit 630 and the power transmission member 632 of the third effect unit 600 operating on the back side of the light guide plate 501 move. It is formed so as to overlap most of the moving region E2 (the region surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIGS. 10-26) in the front-rear direction.

Specifically, the moving area E2 of the light emitting effect unit 630 and the power transmission member 632 is an area in which the light emitting effect unit 630 moves from the origin position to the effect position, and is an area including the origin position and the effect position. When light is incident on the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501, the light emitting region 506 is in a state of emitting light, and the display image of the rear image display device 5, the light emitting effect unit 630, and the power transmission member 632 are displayed from the player side. It becomes difficult or invisible to see through 501. That is, the effect control CPU 120 lights the light guide plate LED 502 to emit light in a light emitting region during a moving period in which the light emitting effect unit 630 and the power transmission member 632 are moved from at least the origin position to the effect position or an effect period located in the effect position. By executing the light emitting effect of causing the 506 to emit light, the light emitting effect unit 630 and the power transmission member 632 become difficult to see or invisible through the light guide plate 501 from the player side, so that the power is transmitted during the moving period and the effect period. It is possible to prevent the cable C (electronic component) or the like provided along the member 632 from being conspicuous.

Further, when the light guide plate LED 502 is turned off after the light emitting effect unit 630 is moved to the effect position and the light emitting effect of the light emitting region 506 is completed, the power transmission member 632, the cable C, etc. can be visually recognized, but the light emitting effect unit By turning on the third effect LEDs 604A and 604B of the 630 to make the light emitting effect unit 630 stand out, the power transmission member 632 and the cable C can be made inconspicuous.

Further, the electronic components (for example, the LED board 603 and the cable C) provided so as to be operable are made visible to the player during the waiting period or the moving period waiting at the origin position. However, it is preferable that the player makes it difficult or invisible from the player side, at least during the production period located at the production position. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the electronic components from being conspicuous during the production period that the player pays attention to.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001 of the feature portion 75SG of the present embodiment is

It is characterized by having.
By doing so, even if the electronic components are arranged so as to be visible to the player, the electronic components are less noticeable due to the specific members of the same color, so that the degree of freedom in design can be increased.
The electronic component and the specific member can be changed to any color as long as they have similar colors. Further, as in the above embodiment, the electronic component and the specific member have the same color (for example, black and black, white and white, etc.).

(Explanation of deformation and application of feature 75SG)
The present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 75SG001 described above, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, light emitting diodes such as the first effect LED 304, the second effect LEDs 404A to 404D, the third effect LEDs 604A, 604B, and the fourth effect LED 804 are provided as electronic components. The embodiment in which the LED substrates 303, 403, 603, and 803 are applied has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a circuit board without a light emitting diode (main substrate 11 not for production, production). (Including control board 12 and relay board, etc.), electronic components such as sensors, solenoids, motors, connectors, cables (wiring), and boards and members for fixing these.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which the base members 301, 401, 601 and 801 for arranging the LED substrates 303, 403, 603 and 803 as electronic components are applied as specific members is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to a member constituting a part of a unit (device) for arranging or accommodating an electronic component as described above, but is a member provided around the electronic component. If there is, a different member (for example, a member forming a part of another unit, a game board 2 or a game machine frame 3) provided separately from the unit (device) for arranging or accommodating the electronic component. It may be a member that constitutes a part, etc.).

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which cover members 302, 402, 602, 802 forming a part of a unit (device) for arranging or accommodating electronic components are applied as a light-transmitting member has been exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is a member having translucency even if it is not a member constituting a part of a unit (device) for arranging or accommodating an electronic component as described above. If the member is provided so that the player can visually recognize the electronic component and the specific member through the member, a different member (for example, for example) provided separately from the unit (device) for arranging or accommodating the electronic component. It may be a member forming a part of another unit, a member forming a part of the game board 2 or the game machine frame 3, and the like).

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, an embodiment in which the electronic component and the specific member provided around the electronic component have the same color (same color) is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. However, as long as the electronic component and the specific member provided around the electronic component have the same color as described above, the electronic component and the specific member are not limited to those having the same color.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, the base members 301, 401, 601, 801 as specific members partially overlap on the back side of the LED substrates 303, 403, 603, 803 as electronic components. Although the embodiment in which the non-overlapping portions are arranged around the LED substrates 303, 403, 603, and 803 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic component and the specific member are described from the player side. It may be arranged side by side at least one of the upper side, the lower side, the left side, and the right side without overlapping a part when visually recognized. Further, if the specific member is arranged and visible around the electronic component when visually recognized from the player side, the electronic component and the specific member are arranged apart from each other in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, the front-rear direction, and the like. It may have been done.

The specific member provided around the electronic component includes a specific member provided at a position visible from the player side together with the electronic component, and is arranged, for example, within a range of about 5 cm from the electronic component. Specific members may be included.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which a cover member 302, 402, 602, 802 made of a translucent synthetic resin material is applied as a translucent member has been illustrated. The material is not limited, and any material may be used as long as it is a translucent member, and may be a glass material or the like. Further, as long as the player can see the electronic component and the specific member through the member, the electronic component and the specific member may be transparent or translucent, or may be colored in a predetermined color. Further, the light transmittance does not have to be 100% or a value close to 100%.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, the cover members 302, 402, 602, 802 as the translucent members are the LED substrates 303, 403, 603, 803 as electronic components by the player through the member. And, although a form in which a part or the whole area of the base member 301, 401, 601, 801 as a specific member can be visually recognized is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least a part of the electronic component is the member. If at least a part of the specific member is not visible through the member, the electronic component and the specific member can be visually recognized together. I just need to be there.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, the cover members 302, 402, 602, 802 as the translucent members are the LED substrates 303, 403, 603, 803 as electronic components, and the base member 301 as a specific member. Although the embodiment in which the electronic components and the specific members are arranged along the front side of the 401, 601, 801 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic components and the specific members are not necessarily arranged along the electronic components and the specific members. It does not have to be. That is, the electronic component or the specific member may be arranged in a state of being obliquely inclined with respect to the translucent member.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, an embodiment in which the entire surface surface of the LED substrates 303, 403, 603, 803 and the base members 301, 401, 601, 801 is set to a predetermined color (black or white) is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the color of the portion of the electronic component and the specific member that can be seen through the translucent member (for example, the front color of the electronic component and the specific member) is a similar color. If so, the entire surface does not necessarily have to be a similar color. Further, the colors of these electronic parts and the specific member may be colored at the time of molding the member, may be colored by painting or printing after molding, or may be colored by attaching a sticker or the like to a predetermined color. You may have.

Further, in the feature portion 75SG of the above-described embodiment, an embodiment in which the electronic component and the specific member provided around the electronic component have the same color (same color) is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Not, for example, a predetermined electron provided so as to be difficult to see or invisible to the player, separately from the LED substrate 303, 403, 603, 803 as an electronic component and the base member 301, 401, 601, 801 as a specific member. Parts (for example, first start port switch 22A, second start port switch 22B, solenoids 81, 82, etc.) and predetermined members (for example, first start port switch 22A, second) provided around the predetermined electronic component. In those provided with a start port switch 22B, a member for fixing the solenoids 81, 82, etc.), predetermined electronic components (for example, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, the solenoids 81, 82, etc.) are , It is preferable that the color is not similar to that of a predetermined member (for example, a member for fixing the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, the solenoids 81, 82, etc.).

As described above, the predetermined electronic components such as the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the solenoids 81 and 82 provided so as to be difficult to see or invisible to the player are in balance with the predetermined members for fixing them. Since a general-purpose product can be used without considering the above, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, by setting the color of the specific member to be a color having the same hue and having either higher lightness or saturation of the color of the electronic component, the specific member has higher visibility than the electronic component. Electronic components can be made relatively inconspicuous.

Further, by coloring the translucent member with a color similar to that of the electronic component and the specific member, the translucent member is assimilated with the electronic component and the specific member, so that the electronic component can be made less noticeable.

Further, for example, when an electronic component such as a black LED substrate is arranged on the right side of the game board 2, it is provided around the electronic component on the left side of the game board 2 on the opposite side of the image display device 5. By providing the outer rail decoration 212 of the same color or the same color as the electronic component so as to be visible to the player separately from the specific member, the black members are arranged in a well-balanced manner on the left and right sides of the image display device 5. As a result, the player is less likely to feel uncomfortable, so that the electronic components can be made less noticeable. In this way, the electronic component can be made less noticeable by arranging the member having the same color or the same color as the electronic component at a distant position separately from the specific member.

Further, the configuration related to the feature unit 75SG may be appropriately combined with a part or all of the configurations related to the feature unit 91AK, 92AK, 01AK, 02AK and the like. For example, when the effect described by the feature units 91AK, 92AK, 01AK, and 02AK can be executed by the image display device 5, the first effect unit 300 described by the feature unit 75SG provided around the image display device 5 Since the electronic components of the second effect unit 400, the third effect unit 600, and the fourth effect unit 800 are less noticeable, it is possible to make the above effect look suitable.

(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. 13 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. 13, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S901). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S902). 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 S903). 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 S903 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 S903, it may be determined whether or not the recovery condition can be satisfied by confirming or inspecting the presence or absence of backup data and the presence or absence of data errors.

If the recovery condition is satisfied (step S903; Yes), the recovery process (step S904) is executed, and then the setting confirmation process (step S905) is executed. By the recovery process in step S904, 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 S903; No), the setting change process (step S907) is executed after the initialization process (step S906) is executed. The initialization process of step S906 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 S905, 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 S905 is executed when the recovery conditions including the fact that the clear signal is in the off state are satisfied in step S903. 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 of step S905, 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 out-of-game symbol or the like is stopped and displayed, or the display corresponding to the game stop state different from the out-of-game 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 S907, 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 S907, 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 of step S906. The setting change process of S907 is executed and the setting change state can be controlled. If the clear switch is off, the setting confirmation process of step S905 is executed together with the recovery process of step S904 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 S906 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 S904 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 S908). 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 S909), and the interrupt is enabled (step S9010). ). 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.

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. 14 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table. FIG. 14A 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. 14B 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.

As shown in FIG. 14 (A), when the variable special figure is the first special figure, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range is in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken and compared with the random value MR1 for judging the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hits", and 65317 to 65535 are "with time reduction". It is assigned to "out of place", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "out of place". When the set value is 1 and the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, out of the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hits", and the other numerical ranges are set to "missing". Assigned. It should be noted that the case where the variable special figure has the set value of 2 to 6 in the first special figure and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 14 (A).

As shown in FIG. 14B, when the variable special figure is the second special figure, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range is in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken and compared with the random number value MR1 for judging the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hits", and 65317 to 65425 are "with time reduction". It is assigned to "out of place", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "out of place". When the set value is 1 and the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, out of the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hits", and the other numerical ranges are set to "missing". Assigned. The case where the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the gaming state is a normal state or a time saving state is as shown in FIG. 14 (B).

Here, paying attention to the numerical range of the hit judgment value assigned to "big hit" and "out of time saving" in each display result judgment table, as shown in FIG. 15, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. In the display result determination table for the first special figure in the above, the range from 102 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the jackpot determination values for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of ~ set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as 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. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the set value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the set value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the set value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the set value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the display result judgment table for the first special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the hit judgment values that can take values in the range of 0 to 65535 are common. When only the numerical values in the numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "big hit", when the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. The numbers in the range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). go.

Further, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit judgment values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the loss judgment value with time reduction. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and the time is shortened. The loss judgment value is in the range of 65317 to 65535, with 65317 as the reference value for the loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of the jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) of the set value 6. Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss judgment value with time reduction overlaps with the range of the jackpot judgment value that changes according to each set value.

Further, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the game state is the probability change state, the range of the hit determination values from 1020 to 1346 is the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit"), while the set value 2 to set. In the case of the value 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. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value is the range of 1347 to 1383 for the set value 2, the range of 1347 to 1429 for the set value 3, the range of 1347 to 1487 for the set value 4, and the range of 1347 to 1556 for the set value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

That is, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the game state is the probabilistic state, the common numerical range (of the hit determination values that can take values in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1) When only the numerical values in (1020 to 1346) are assigned to "big hit", when the set value is 2 or more, the jackpot judgment value is within the range obtained by adding the non-common numerical range to the common numerical range. The numbers are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1347 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). go.

In 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 the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of ~ set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as 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. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the set value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the set value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the set value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the set value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, 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 value can be taken in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1. Of the hit judgment values, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, the common numerical range of the big hit judgment values is set. Numerical values within the range including the non-common numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). go.

Further, in the display result determination table for the second special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time reduction state, the range from 65317 to 65425 of the hit determination values determines the time reduction loss regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the loss judgment value with time reduction. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and the time is shortened. The loss judgment value is in the range of 65317 to 65425, with 65317 as the reference value for the loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of the jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) of the set value 6. Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the time saving loss judgment value overlaps with the range of the jackpot judgment value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result judgment table for the second special figure when the game state is the probability change state, the range from 102 to 1346 of the hit judgment values is a common numerical value of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the range. The features of the other display result determination table for the second special figure are the same as those of the display result determination table for the first special figure.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, 65317 to 65317 to the case where the gaming state is the normal state and the time saving state, regardless of the set value. When the range of 65535 is set to the common numerical range of the time saving and the time saving is out, and the variable special figure is the second special symbol, the set value is set depending on whether the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless, the range of 65317 to 65425 is set to the common numerical range that is out of time. In other words, when the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the ratio at which the variable display result is out of time reduction is the same ratio for all the set values, so that the gambling property depends on the set value. Can be prevented from becoming excessively high. Furthermore, with regard to the time-saving loss, which is assigned a common number of judgment values for each setting value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from the time-saving loss reference value of 65317 in any setting value, it can be displayed in a variable manner. It is possible to reduce the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination that the result is out of time reduction.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the set values that can be set are 6 from 1 to 6, but the setting values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. .. Further, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more advantageous the player may be.

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 ratios 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.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 16, 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 S90175 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 mounted movable body 32, outputting voice and sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the voice control board 13, command to 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 of. 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 has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command that specifies to start the jackpot game state is received, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4". In addition, when the reception waiting time of the command elapses without receiving the command specifying to start the jackpot game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "missing", and the effect process flag. The value of 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 jackpot effect process in step S90174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect processing, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. Update to "" and end the production process during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S90175 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.

FIG. 17-3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the pachinko gaming machine 1. 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. 17-3 (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. 17-3 (A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command for designating the start of 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 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. 17-3 (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. 17-3 (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. Further, the command 9502H is set 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 set 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 9000 (H) is an effect control command (initialization designation command: power-on designation command) transmitted when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started. The command 9200 (H) is an effect control command (power failure recovery designation command) transmitted when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is temporarily stopped and then the power supply is restarted. When the power supply to the game machine is started, the game control microcomputer 100 transmits a power failure recovery designation command if the data is stored in the backup RAM, and if not, the initialization designation. Send a command.

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 the opening of the large winning opening and the notification command after opening the large winning opening, for example, the number of round executions (for example, "1" to "10") in the normal open big hit state and the high-speed open big hit state, which will be described later, is supported. Different EXT data are set.

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 D100 is a customer waiting demo designation command for designating the execution of the customer waiting demo effect, and is executed when neither the first hold storage nor the second hold storage exists in the special symbol normal processing, as will be described later. It is a command transmitted by the demo display setting, and the customer waiting demo effect is executed when a predetermined period elapses after the customer waiting demo designation command is transmitted.

The commands shown in FIG. 17-3 (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. 17-4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 17-4, 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, the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, and the normal figure display result determination Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for use 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. As will be described later, 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 set in the RAM 102, to update various numerical data by software. Numerical data indicating a part of the random number values 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. 17-5 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. In the present embodiment, the special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure is used as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, individual special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

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 present embodiment, 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 present embodiment, 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 set as a "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state 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 present embodiment) (about 1 in the present embodiment). / 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 the probability change state (high probability state), it is controlled to the jackpot game state as compared with 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. 17-5 (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 present embodiment, 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 present embodiment, 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. 17-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the jackpot type determination table in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" and the jackpot game state is controlled, 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 present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 17-6 (B). In the present embodiment, the jackpot type includes high-accuracy control and time-saving control after the end of the jackpot game 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. .. In addition, the jackpot game state due to the "non-probability variation jackpot" is a normally open jackpot that is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state that is advantageous to the player. .. Therefore, the "probability change jackpot A" may be referred to as a 10-round (10R) probability variation jackpot, and the "probability variation jackpot B" may be referred to as a 5-round (5R) probability variation jackpot. Further, in the jackpot game by the "probability variation jackpot C", the round for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds), and the special in each round is executed. The opening period of the variable winning ball device 7 is shorter than other jackpot games (for example, 0.1 second), which is a high-speed opening jackpot. It should be noted that the probability variation control and the time saving control are not executed during the big hit game of any of the big hit types.

Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit game state in the present embodiment changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state which is advantageous to the player twice, and the opening time is the same as the probability variation big hit C. It is an open period (0.1 seconds in this embodiment). After the small hit game is completed, the game state immediately before the small hit game is inherited.

That is, in the present embodiment, when it is determined to be "probability variable big hit C" or "small hit", variable display is executed with the same fluctuation pattern (PC1-1 shown in FIG. 17-7). As a result of the variable display, the chance eye is stopped and displayed, and since the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball device 7 is the same, these variable displays and the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball device 7 are used. Since it is not possible to distinguish between the "probability change jackpot C" in which the probability variation control is executed and the "small hit" in which the previous gaming state is continued without the probability variation control being executed, the probability variation jackpot C After the big hit game or the small hit game is completed, it is possible to continue the game while expecting the player to execute the probability change control.

The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probabilistic jackpot A and the probabilistic jackpot B are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the jackpot that occurs again is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the high accuracy control and the time saving control are executed again after the end of the jackpot gaming state, so that the jackpot gaming state does not go through the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive villa state that occurs continuously.

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 present embodiment), 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. 17-6 (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. In the case of 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 game state in which the game ball easily enters the second start 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. 17-6 (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. 17-6 shows the variation pattern in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" and "reach", respectively, and is variable. 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 the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and like the super reach variation pattern, normal reach α, normal reach β, ... In this case, a plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided, and in this case, the jackpot expectation (big hit reliability) of each normal reach fluctuation pattern of normal reach α, normal reach β, ... May be different. Further, although super reach α and super reach β are provided as super reach fluctuation patterns, the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach fluctuation pattern may be only one type as in the normal reach fluctuation putter.

The variation pattern in the present embodiment includes a variation 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. 17-7, 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 present embodiment is set shorter than that of the super reach variation pattern. Among the fluctuation patterns of super reach, the fluctuation patterns of super reach β and super reach γ have a variable display period longer than the variable display period (50 seconds) of the fluctuation pattern of super reach α (60 seconds). Has been done.

Further, in the present embodiment, 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. 17-8 is an explanatory diagram of a method for determining a fluctuation pattern in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the game state, the display result of the variable display to be executed, and the number of reserved memories.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17-8 (A), when the variable display result is a non-probability variable jackpot in the normal gaming state (low base state), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variable display result is selected. Using the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, the fluctuation patterns are PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern), and PB1-3 (super reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern). To decide from. Further, when the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B in the normal game state (low base state), the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation using the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is used. The pattern is determined from PB1-1 (variation pattern of normal reach jackpot), PB1-2 (fluctuation pattern of super reach α jackpot), and PB1-3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β jackpot).

As shown in FIG. 17-8 (A), in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A and the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table B, the number of determination values assigned to PB1-1, PB1-2, and PB1-3 is different. It's different. Specifically, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, 497 determination values are assigned to PB1-1, 300 determination values are assigned to PB1-2, and 200 determination values are assigned to PB1-3. Assigned. On the other hand, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern judgment table B, 250 judgment values are assigned to PB1-1, 347 judgment values are assigned to PB1-2, and 400 judgment values are assigned to PB1-3. ing. That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable display result is the probabilistic jackpot A or the probabilistic jackpot B, the fluctuation pattern of the superreach is determined at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the non-probability jackpot. In addition to being easy, the super reach β is easier to determine than the super reach α, so that it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is a probability variation big hit C or a small hit, select the special hit variation pattern determination table, and use the special hit variation pattern determination table to set the variation pattern to PC1-1 (special hit variation). Pattern) is decided. That is, in the present embodiment, the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern depending on whether the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C or the small hit, so that the player can perform the variable display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to identify whether the result is a probabilistic big hit C or a small hit.

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 out-of-reach variation pattern determination table A, the variation patterns are PA1-1 (non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-range variation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α out-of-range variation pattern), and PA2. Determined from -3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β off).

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table A, 600 determination values are assigned to PA1-1, 300 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. It is assigned, and 7 judgment values are assigned to PA2-3.

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, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α loss), and PA2. Determined from -3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β off).

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table B, 700 determination values are assigned to PA1-2, 200 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. It is assigned, and 7 judgment values are assigned to PA2-3.

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 (variation pattern of super reach α loss), and PA2. Determined from -3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β off).

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table C, 800 determination values are assigned to PA1-3, 100 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. It is assigned, and 7 judgment values are assigned to PA2-3.

As described above, when the variable display result is "off" in the present embodiment, the special figure variable display time is normal based on the number of reserved memory of the variable special figure being 3 or 4 or the like. Since the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening fluctuation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3) shorter than the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1), it is possible to prevent the game from being delayed. However, it is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-8 (B), when the variable display result is a non-probability variation jackpot in the high base state, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected. PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern), and PB1-4 (super reach γ) It is determined from the fluctuation pattern of the jackpot). If the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B in the low base state, the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 using the jackpot variation pattern determination table B. Determined from (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern), and PB1-4 (super reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern). ..

As shown in FIG. 17-8 (B), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table B have determination values for PB1-1, PB1-2, PB1-3, and PB1-4. The number of allocations is different. Specifically, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern judgment table A, 97 judgment values are assigned to PB1-1, 350 judgment values are assigned to PB1-2, and 300 judgment values are assigned to PB1-3. It is assigned, and 250 judgment values are assigned to PB1-4. On the other hand, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern judgment table B, 50 judgment values are assigned to PB1-1, 200 judgment values are assigned to PB1-2, and 347 judgment values are assigned to PB1-3. , PB1-4 are assigned 400 determination values. That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the fluctuation pattern is super reach β or super reach γ at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the non-probability variation jackpot. Since the fluctuation pattern is easily determined, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is a probability variation big hit C or a small hit, select the special hit variation pattern determination table, and use the special hit variation pattern determination table to set the variation pattern to PC1-1 (special hit variation). Pattern) is decided. That is, in the present embodiment, the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern depending on whether the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C or the small hit, so that the player can perform the variable display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to identify whether the result is a probabilistic big hit C or a small hit.

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. (Non-reach out-of-time shortening fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-time fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α out-of-order fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach β out-of-range fluctuation pattern), and PA2 Determined from -4 (fluctuation pattern of super reach γ outlier).

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table D, 800 determination values are assigned to PA1-4, 100 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 80 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. Assigned, 10 determination values are assigned to PA2-3, and 7 determination values are assigned to PA2-4.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable display result is "off" in the high base state (time reduction state), the special figure variable display time is a fluctuation of the normal non-reach deviation based on the time reduction state. Since the variable display is executed at a high rate due to the variation pattern (PA1-4) for shortening, which is shorter than the pattern (PA1-1), the variable display result is displayed next while preventing the game from being delayed. It is possible to shorten the period until it becomes a big hit. The fluctuation patterns PA2-4 and PB1-4 (super reach γ) are considered to be fluctuation patterns that can be executed only in the high base state (time saving state).

The stored contents of the storage area (entry) corresponding to the buffer numbers 1 to 0 to the buffer numbers 1-4 corresponding to the first special figure are the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1"" when the start condition is satisfied. ) Is started, as will be described later, the contents are shifted upward one by one, and the stored contents of the buffer number "1-0" for storing the contents of the reserved storage for which the start condition is satisfied are stored. , It is cleared in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the variable display is finished. Similarly, the stored contents of the storage area (entry) corresponding to the buffer numbers 2 to 0 to the buffer numbers 1-4 corresponding to the second special figure are the highest held storage (buffer number "2" when the start condition is satisfied. When the variable display of -1 ") is started, it is shifted upward one by one as described later, and the buffer number" 2-0 "that stores the contents of the hold storage for which the start condition is satisfied is stored. The stored contents are cleared in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the variable display is terminated.

The effect control CPU 120 receives a command at the time of the start winning to the first start winning opening. It is stored from the entry), and at the time of the start winning to the second start winning opening, it is stored from the beginning (the entry with the lowest buffer number) in the empty entry of the buffer numbers 2-1 to 2-4. .. At the time of the start winning, the start opening prize designation command to the hold storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, the start opening prize designation command is placed in the storage area corresponding to each of the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage or the second special figure hold storage. , The symbol specification command, the variable category specification command, and the hold storage number notification command are stored in this order.

The command stored in the command buffer received at the time of starting winning is the entry corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display that ended immediately before each time the variable display of the decorative symbol is started (buffer number "1-0" or "2-". What is stored in the entry of "0") is deleted, and is stored in the entry corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display to be started (the entry corresponding to the buffer number "1-1" or "2-1"). The stored contents of the entries after the hold storage of the variable display to be started are shifted. For example, when the variable display of the decorative symbol of the first special figure hold storage is completed, each command stored in the buffer number "1-0" is deleted and stored in the buffer number "1-1". Each command is shifted to the buffer number "1-0", and each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer number "1-2" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer number "1-1". Each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "1-3" and "1-4" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "1-2" and "1-3". Will be done. Therefore, the buffer number "0" is an area (entry) for storing each command related to the hold storage that is variably displayed at that time.

(Direction during Super Reach)
Here, the production during super reach will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-9. FIG. 17-9 is a diagram showing an execution period of various effects in normal reach and super reach.

As shown in FIG. 17-9, in the variable display of the decorative pattern based on the normal reach fluctuation pattern or the super reach fluctuation pattern, the effect control CPU 120 sets the variable display mode to the normal reach display mode after starting the variable display. Based on this, a normal reach effect is performed as a variable display effect. In the super reach fluctuation pattern, after executing the normal reach effect, the super reach effect (weak super reach effect or strong super reach effect) is performed as the variable display effect based on the variable display mode being set to the super reach display mode. After the reach effect is finished, the variable display of the decorative pattern is finished.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 has a possibility that the variable display result will be a big hit in the normal reach effect in the normal reach variation pattern or the super reach variation pattern (super reach α, β, γ) as an effect different from the variable display effect (expected). It is possible to execute the advance notice effect A or the advance notice effect B for notifying the degree). Further, in the normal reach effect in the super reach variation pattern, it is possible to execute the development effect A that notifies that the weak super reach effect is developed (contents that are advantageous for the player).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 notifies that the weak super reach effect in the super reach variation pattern (super reach α, β, γ) develops into a strong super reach effect (contents advantageous for the player). It is possible to execute a development suggestion effect that suggests the possibility that It is possible to execute the development effect B that notifies the content).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a determined effect for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit or a miss in the strong super reach effect in the super reach fluctuation pattern (super reach β, γ). ..

In this way, in the fluctuation pattern of normal reach deviation, it becomes a big hit or miss in the normal reach production without developing into a weak super reach production, and in the super reach fluctuation pattern (super reach α, β, γ), the weak super reach production in the normal reach production. In the super reach fluctuation pattern (super reach β, γ), it develops into a strong super reach production in a weak super reach production.

In other words, super reach α is a weak super reach with higher expectations than normal reach, and super reach β and γ are strong super reach with higher expectations than weak super reach (big hit expectation; normal reach <super reach). α <super reach β <super reach γ).

Further, in the normal reach and the super reach α, β, and γ, different types of normal reach effects and super reach effects may be executed, and common or at least partially similar types of super reach effects may be executed. It may be executed. Further, the type of super reach is not limited to the above three types, and may be one type, two types, or four or more types.

In the feature unit 241SG, in the above-mentioned advance notice effect A and advance notice effect B, development effect A, B, development suggestion effect, and decision effect, the mounted movable body 32 which is a structure is moved, and the first pseudo movable body display described later is performed. And the second pseudo-movable body display can be moved and displayed. Therefore, before explaining the specific contents of each effect, the mounted movable body 32, the first pseudo-movable body display, and the second pseudo-movable body display will be described.

(Flow of development of pachinko game machines)
First, in order to understand the background of mounting the mounted movable body 32, the first pseudo-movable body display, the second pseudo-movable body display, and the like as described above on the pachinko gaming machine 1, the development of the pachinko gaming machine 1 The outline of the flow of the above will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-12. FIG. 17-12 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the flow of development of the pachinko gaming machine.

As shown in FIG. 17-12, when the development of a predetermined pachinko gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like) starts, it is first clarified what to convey to the game store and the player and what to feel. Create a plan document, etc. (step 241SGS001). Specifically, the game content, highlights, specifications, game flow, reach and other production configurations, board configurations, movable bodies (structures), etc. of the model will be examined.

Next, based on the proposal, a prototype (primary prototype, design mock) of the board (game board), images and materials that can imagine variable display, etc., a specification confirmation table, etc. are created (step 241SGS002). At the stage of creating this prototype, for example, it was planned to mount multiple movable bodies, but the reason why multiple movable bodies cannot be mounted (for example, lack of space such as interference with other movable bodies, cost, etc. Durability) and other problems may occur.

Next, a video such as a variable display or an effect is created (step 241SGS003). Here, regarding the production video, based on the design and operation of the movable body that could not be mounted due to the problem in step 241SGS002, a pseudo movable body display video that imitates the non-mounted movable body is created. .. Since the movement display in the pseudo-movable body display is inferior in impact to the case where the non-mounted movable body is moved, for example, the recoil display operation and the speed of the movement display when the movement display is stopped are performed. It is often deformed (exaggerated or highlighted).

Then, a prototype (secondary prototype) of the board surface (game board) including images such as variable display and production is created, and the variable display, core production, movement of the movable body, etc. are confirmed (step 241SGS004). If there is no problem, a mold product or the like for the board surface (game board) is created (step 241SGS005).

In this way, by mounting a plurality of movable bodies capable of providing an impactful effect to the player, the effect of the effect can be further enhanced and the effect can be diversified. It is often difficult to install more than one. Therefore, based on the design and operation of the movable body that could not be mounted, the moving display of the pseudo movable body display that imitates the non-mounted movable body is often used.

Hereinafter, the pachinko game machine 1 as the feature unit 241SG was planned to be equipped with a plurality of movable bodies at the development stage, but due to the various problems described above, one movable body ( For example, the mounting of the mounted movable body 32) was decided, and the mounting of other movable bodies (for example, the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200) was not decided and was not mounted. Instead of the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200, the moving display of the first pseudo-movable body display that imitates the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200 are imitated. The moving display of the second pseudo-movable body display and the moving display will be described as being adopted.

In the above description, the pseudo-movable body display exemplifies a form adopted as a substitute for the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200 that are finally not mounted. It is not limited, and although it was possible to mount a movable body, a pseudo movable body display may be used in order to diversify the production. It is also possible to use a pseudo-movable body display that imitates a movable body that is not planned to be mounted at the development stage (for example, a virtual movable body or a movable body that is mounted or will be mounted on another model).

(Mounted movable body 32)
Hereinafter, the mounted movable body 32 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-13. 17-13 are views showing a moving mode of the mounted movable body, and FIG. 17-13 is a diagram for explaining a situation in which the mounted movable body is lifted.

As shown in FIG. 17-13 (A), the mounted movable body 32 is composed of an effect unit 32A formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape in front view and decorated on the front surface, and a mechanism unit 32B, from the effect unit 32A. The left and right sides of the mechanism unit 32B extending to the left and right sides are supported by the drive mechanisms 201L and 201R arranged on the left and right sides of the image display device 5, so that the upper origin position (FIG. 17-13 (A)). ), The position indicated by the solid line) and the effect position below the origin position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 17-13 (A)) can be moved in the vertical direction. The mechanism unit 32B is a transmission member that transmits the power of the drive mechanisms 201L and 201R to the effect unit 32A.

The drive mechanisms 201L and 201R include the mounted movable body motors 202L and 202R, and the drive gears 203L and 203R fixed to the drive shafts of the mounted movable body motors 202L and 202R and the driven gears 204L and 204R that mesh with the drive gears 203L and 203R. , The rotating shafts 205L and 205R with the driven gears 204L and 204R fixed to the lower end and facing in the vertical direction, the moving bodies 206L and 206R inserted into the rotating shafts 205L and 205R, and the mounted movable body 32 are held at the origin positions. It mainly has a possible mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R, and a mounted movable body LED 208 (see FIG. 17-2) that can emit light of a light emitting unit 208A built in the effect unit 32A and composed of the letter "X".

The mounted movable body 32 is inserted (guided) into the rotating shafts 205L and 205R so as to be movable in the vertical direction at the left and right ends (guided portions) of the mechanical portion 32B, and is locked to the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R. By doing so, it is held at the origin position. When the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R are turned on and the locked state is released while being held at the origin position, the mounted movable body 32 is dropped from the origin position by its own weight, and the left and right ends of the mechanism unit 32B. Comes into contact with the moving bodies 206L and 206R and is restricted from moving downward so that the moving body stops at the effect position.

Further, while spiral groove portions 205A are formed on the outer periphery of the rotating shafts 205L and 205R, the moving bodies 206L and 206R have locking portions (not shown) that can be locked to the groove portions 205A on the inner peripheral surface. Since it is formed and the rotation around the rotation shafts 205L and 205R is regulated, the rotation shafts 205L and 205R can be moved in the vertical direction by rotating the rotation shafts 205L and 205R in the forward and reverse directions by the mounted movable body motors 202L and 202R. It is said that. Therefore, the mounted movable body 32 can be dropped from the origin position to the effect position by its own weight, and after the fall, the rotating shaft 205L is driven by the mounted movable body motors 202L and 202R as shown in FIG. 17-13 (B). , 205R is rotated to raise the moving bodies 206L and 206R, so that the moving bodies 206L and 206R are raised from the effect position to the origin position, and are held at the origin position by the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R.

(1st pseudo movable display and 1st non-mounted movable body)
Next, the first pseudo movable display and the first non-mounted movable body will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-14. 17-14 is a diagram showing a movement display mode of the first pseudo-movable body display, and FIG. 17-14 is a diagram showing a movement mode of the first non-mounted movable body.

As shown in FIG. 17-14 (B), the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 shown in FIG. 17-14 (A) was planned to be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, but it was not mounted due to various reasons. It is said that the image imitates the first non-mounted movable body M100.

The first non-mounted movable body M100, which is not mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, is composed of a directing unit M100A formed in a substantially rectangular shape in front view and decorated on the front surface, and a mechanical unit M100B. The left side of the mechanism unit M100B extending to the left is supported by the drive mechanism M101 arranged on the left side of the image display device 5, so that the upper first origin position (2 in FIG. 17-14 (B)) is supported. It is possible to move in the vertical direction between the origin position indicated by the dotted chain line and the first effect position below the first origin position (the position indicated by the solid line in FIGS. 17-14 (B)).

The drive mechanism M101 faces the movable body motor M102, the driven gear M103 fixed to the drive shaft of the movable body motor M102, the driven gear M104 meshing with the drive gear M103, and the driven gear M104 fixed to the lower end in the vertical direction. The rotating shaft M105, the movable body solenoid M107 capable of holding the first non-mounted movable body M100 at the first origin position, the moving body M106 inserted into the rotating shaft M105, and the effect unit M100A are built in and viewed from the front. It mainly has a non-mounted movable LED (not shown) capable of emitting light from a circular light emitting unit M108A.

Further, the effect unit M100A has four effect movable units M110A to M110D arranged around the light emitting unit M108A with a streak-like decoration on the front surface, and the effect movable units M110A to M110D are close to each other. It is possible to change between an effect state (a state shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 17-14 (B)) and a second effect state in which the effect movable portions M110A to M110D are radially separated from the light emitting unit M108A.

In the first non-mounted movable body M100, the left end portion (guided portion) of the mechanical portion M100B is inserted (guided) into the rotation shaft M105 so as to be movable in the vertical direction, and is locked to the movable body solenoid M107. 1 Held at the origin position. When the movable body solenoid M107 is turned on and the locked state is released while being held at the first origin position, the first non-mounted movable body M100 is dropped from the first origin position by its own weight, and the mechanism unit M100B The left and right ends of the solenoid come into contact with the moving body M106 to restrict downward movement, so that the vehicle stops at the first effect position.

Further, while a spiral groove portion M105A is formed on the outer periphery of the rotation shaft M105, the moving body M106 is formed with a locking portion (not shown) that can be locked to the groove portion M105A on the inner peripheral surface. Since the rotation around the rotation shaft M105 is restricted, the movable body motor M102 rotates the rotation shaft M105 in the forward and reverse directions so that the rotation shaft M105 can be moved in the vertical direction. Therefore, the first non-mounted movable body M100 can be dropped from the first origin position to the first effect position by its own weight, and after the first non-mounted movable body M100 is dropped, the rotating shaft M105 is rotated by the movable body motor M102 to move the moving body M106. By raising it, it rises from the first effect position to the first specific origin position, and is held at the first origin position by the movable body solenoid M107.

As shown in FIG. 17-14 (A), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is an image imitating the first non-mounted movable body M100, and is an effect display unit Z100A corresponding to the effect unit M100A and a mechanism unit. It has a mechanism display unit Z100B corresponding to the M100B and a light emitting display unit Z108A corresponding to the light emitting unit M108A. Then, it is possible to move and display in the vertical direction between the first initial display position corresponding to the first origin position and the first effect display position corresponding to the first effect position (see FIG. 17-16 (B)). ), The first initial display position corresponding to a position different from the first origin position and the first effect display position corresponding to a position different from the first effect position can be moved and displayed in the vertical direction (FIG.). 17-17 (A)). Further, the effect unit M100A has the effect movable display units Z110A to Z110D corresponding to the effect movable units M110A to M110D, and has a first effect display state corresponding to the first effect state and a second effect display state corresponding to the second effect state. It is possible to change to the production display state.

(2nd pseudo movable display and 2nd non-mounted movable body)
Next, the second pseudo movable display and the second non-mounted movable body will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-15. 17-15 is a diagram showing a moving display mode of the second pseudo-movable body display, and FIG. 17-15 is a diagram showing a moving mode of the second non-mounted movable body.

As shown in FIGS. 17-15 (B) and 17-15, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 shown in FIG. 17-15 (A) was planned to be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, but it is not possible due to various circumstances. It is said to be an image imitating the mounted second non-mounted movable body M200.

Regarding the second non-mounted movable body M200, two mounting plans (for example, mounting plan 1 shown in FIG. 17-15 (B) and mounting plan 1 shown in FIG. 17-15 (C)) showing different operation modes at the beginning of development are shown. The mounting plan 2) was devised, but due to development reasons, the second non-mounted movable body itself could not be mounted, so the movement corresponding to the mounting plan 1 described below is used as the second pseudo movable body display Z200. The display and the movement display corresponding to the mounting plan 2 can be executed.

As shown in FIGS. 17-15 (B) and 17-15 (C), the second non-mounted movable body M200 not mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a directing unit M200A formed in a front view circular shape and decorated on the front surface.

Not only is it possible to move and display the movable range between the display position in the vertical direction, but also the second specific initial display position that does not correspond to the first specific origin position and the second specific effect display that does not correspond to the first specific effect position. The specific movable range between the position and the position can be moved and displayed in the left-right direction.

Further, the moving display distance L2 of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is longer than the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32, and the moving display distance L3 of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32. Shorter than (L2> L1> L3). Further, the moving display distance L2A of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is longer than the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32, and the moving display distance L3A of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32. And the movement display distance is longer than L2A (L3A> L2A> L1).

In this way, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can move and display a movement display distance (L2, L2A, L3A) longer than the movement distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32. Therefore, it is possible to realize an effect that has more impact than the mounted movable body 32.

As shown in FIGS. 17-16, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are composed of the effect display units Z100A and Z200A and the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B, and the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B. Is extended to the edge of the display area of the image display device 5, and is produced by the drive mechanism M101, the first drive mechanism M201A, and the second drive mechanism M201B arranged on the side of the image display device 5. Since the display units Z100A and Z200A appear to be supported, it is possible to express the moving display more realistically.

That is, the pseudo-movable body display (pseudo-movable body image) refers to a movable body as a structure that can be operated by a drive mechanism, such as a movable body mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, a non-mounted movable body, and a virtual movable body. This is a simulated display, and is different from an image that does not have a mechanism display unit, such as the development notification image Z300 (see FIG. 17-25 (H)).

In addition, a display in which a part of the display mode is different from that of the modeled movable body, a display in a mode that cannot be realized by the modeled movable body (for example, a deformed display or a deformed display) or a moving display (for example, a high-speed moving display, etc.) ) Is possible.

Further, the pseudo-movable body display (pseudo-movable body image) may be an image or a moving image created by a computer or the like, or may be an image or a moving image of a movable body as an actually created structure. There may be. Furthermore, when moving the pseudo-movable body display, the sound effect that is output when the movable body is moved and the sound effect that is the same as or similar to the impact sound that occurs when the movable body is stopped can be output, or the pseudo-movable body display can be displayed as an effect. When the position is reached, the vibration motor 61 vibrates the push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc., or outputs deep bass from the speakers 8L, 8R to generate a pseudo impact, which is more realistic. It becomes possible to provide the production to the player.

Next, details of various effects using the mounted movable body 32, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100, and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-10. FIG. 17-10 is a diagram for explaining the contents and configurations of various effects in Super Reach.

(Notice production A)
As shown in FIG. 17-10, the advance notice effect A can be executed when the base state is low, and the first specific effect is displayed after the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific initial display position. It is suggested that the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E may become a big hit (expected degree) by displaying the light emission in the color corresponding to the determined effect pattern after the movement is displayed at the display position.

Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position is erased after being moved and displayed from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position. (See FIGS. 17-25 (C) to (F)).

Specifically, when the pattern PYA-1 is determined in the advance notice effect A type determination process of step 241SGS278A described later, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in white, and when the pattern PYA-2 is determined, light is emitted. The display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in blue, and when the pattern PYA-3 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in green, and when the pattern PYA-4 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed. Displayed in red. Therefore, the emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E having the highest expectation of big hit is red. The emission color can be changed in various ways, and if the jackpot is confirmed, the emission color may be changed to gold, rainbow, or the like.

(Notice production B)
The notice effect B can be executed when the base is in a high base state, and the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position or from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. The variable display result is a big hit depending on whether the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position. It is suggested that there is a possibility (expectation).

Further, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 that has been moved and displayed at the first effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the first effect display position to the first initial display position (FIG. 17-34 (A)). ~ (C)). Further, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 that has been moved and displayed at the second effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the second effect display position to the second initial display position (FIGS. 17-34 (D)). ~ (F)).

Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the second intermediate effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the second intermediate effect display position to the second specific initial display position (FIGS. 17-33). (A)-(C)). Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed to the second specific effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the second specific effect display position to the second specific initial display position (FIGS. 17-33). (D)-(F)).

Specifically, when the pattern PYB-1 is determined in the advance notice effect B type determination process of step 241SGS278A described later, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 moves from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position. When the pattern PYB-2 is displayed and the pattern PYB-2 is determined, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position, and when the pattern PYB-3 is determined, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed. 1 Pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and when the pattern PYB-4 is determined, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the second initial display position to the second effect. It is moved to the display position and displayed. Therefore, the movement display pattern in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed has a higher jackpot expectation than the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed, and the movement display pattern having the highest jackpot expectation is the first. The pseudo movable body display Z100 is a pattern in which the pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the second initial display position to the second effect display position.

Further, when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position or from the second initial display position to the second effect display position, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is second. It is faster than moving and displaying from the specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position.

(Development production A)
In the development effect A, the on-board movable body 32 moves (falls) from the origin position to the effect position, so that the development to a weak super reach is notified (see FIG. 17-25 (H)). The mounted movable body 32 that has been moved from the origin position to the effect position rises from the effect position to the origin position and returns after a predetermined time has elapsed.

More specifically, when the execution is decided in the development effect A type determination process of step 241SGS278B described later, the mounted movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the effect position at the effect start timing, and thus develops into a weak super reach. Is notified (see FIG. 17-25 (H)). On the other hand, when non-execution is determined, the mounted movable body 32 does not fall from the origin position at the production start timing, and the development notification image Z300 is displayed on the image display device 5, so that the development to weak super reach is notified. (See FIG. 17-25 (G)). That is, when the non-execution is determined by the development effect A type determination process, the effect pattern for notifying the development to the weak super reach is determined by displaying the development notification image Z300 without dropping the mounted movable body 32. Is.

The development notification image Z300 is an image (display) that imitates the mounted movable body 32, but like the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, it is the same as the movable body. Unlike the pseudo-movable body display that is moved and displayed, it is an image (display) that imitates only the effect unit 32A, and is displayed in a display mode different from the movement of the mounted movable body 32. For example, at the effect start timing, the display is displayed at the effect display position corresponding to the effect position of the mounted movable body 32 from the beginning without accompanying the movement display.

(Development suggestion production)
The development suggestion effect can be executed before the development effect B is executed, and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed in the first specific initial display position and then moved to the first specific effect display position. After that, light is emitted based on the fact that the repeated hitting operation is detected during the operation valid period in which the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B (the operation in which the detection signal of the push sensor 35B is detected a plurality of times within a predetermined period) is valid. By changing the display units Z208A to Z208E to the emission display color corresponding to the determined effect pattern, it is suggested that the display color of the character image Z310 described later, that is, the development effect B may be executed.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, an operation promotion image (for example, an image imitating the push button 31B) that promotes the repeated hitting operation of the push button 31B during the operation valid period in which the repeated hitting operation of the push button 31B in the development suggestion effect is effective). Is not displayed on the image display device 5, and the button LED 62 (see FIG. 17-2) built in the push button 31B is turned on to promote the continuous striking operation of the push button 31B. The image display device 5 may display an operation promotion display that promotes the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B during the operation valid period.

Further, in the second pseudo movable body display Z200 which is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, the character image Z310 related to the model is first specified in the display area of the image display device 5. After being displayed so as to overlap (act) on the second pseudo movable body display Z200 in the area including the effect display position, it is erased without being moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position. (See FIGS. 17-26 (A) to (J) and 17-27 (A)).

Specifically, when the pattern PS-1 is determined in the development suggestion effect type determination process of step 241SGS278B described later, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E remain white even when the push button 31B is repeatedly pressed, and do not change. When the pattern PS-2 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E change in the order of white → blue according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, and when the pattern PS-3 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E. Changes in the order of white → blue → green according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, and when the pattern PS-4 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E change from white → blue → according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B. It changes in the order of green → red. Therefore, the final emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E having the highest execution expectation of the development effect B is red.

The emission color and the change pattern of the emission color can also be changed in various ways. For example, the emission color may change from white to red without changing to blue or green, or may be a emission display color other than white from the beginning. .. Further, the number of lights of the plurality of light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E is increased according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, so that the higher the number of lights is, the higher the expectation of execution of the development effect B is higher than when the number of lights is small. You may. Further, the degree of expectation may be different depending on the emission color and the number of emissions.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, when the continuous striking operation of the push button 31B is not detected during the operation valid period, or when the continuous striking operation amount is small, even if any of the patterns PS-2 to 4 is determined, the continuous striking operation amount depends on the continuous striking operation amount. Illustrated a form in which the emission display color does not change according to each pattern PS-2 to 4, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the repeated hitting operation of the push button 31B is not detected during the operation valid period. Alternatively, even when the amount of repeated hitting operations is small, the emission display color may be changed according to the determined patterns PS-2 to 4 at the timing when the operation valid period ends.

Further, as the character image Z310 displayed after the operation valid period ends, the character image Z310 having a color corresponding to the light emission display color of the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E when the operation valid period ends is displayed. There is.

It should be noted that the character images Z310 of different types may be displayed according to the light emission display colors of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E when the operation valid period ends. Further, even if the emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E does not change even though any of the patterns PS-2 to 4 is determined as described above, the determined patterns PS-2 to 4 are also determined. The character image Z310 (a color different from the light emission display colors of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E) may be displayed according to the color corresponding to the character image Z310. Further, the emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E may be changed to the same color as the character image Z310 at the timing when the character image Z310 is displayed.

(Development production B)
In the development effect B, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 moves and displays from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, thereby developing into a strong super reach effect and executing the determined effect (game). (Contents that are advantageous to the person) are notified (see FIG. 17-27 (D)). Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed to the first specific effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position (FIG. 17-27 (FIG. 17-27). D)-(F)).

Further, when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is erased without moving from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position, the reach title is set in the display area including the first specific effect display position. By displaying the image Z51 so as to overlap the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 in an manner indicating that it is the time when the display of the image is started, the variable display result becomes a big hit (controlled to the big hit gaming state). ) Is suggested.

Specifically, when the execution is decided in the development effect B type determination process of step 241SGS280 described later, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is changed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position at the effect start timing. By displaying the movement, the development to strong super reach is notified (see FIG. 17-27 (D)). On the other hand, when non-execution is determined, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is not moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position at the effect start timing, and the reach title image Z51 is displayed on the image display device 5. Is displayed in the state of preparation to inform the development of strong super reach (see FIG. 17-27 (C)). That is, the fact that non-execution is determined by the development effect B type determination process means that the reach title image Z51 is displayed in the prepared state without moving the second pseudo movable body display Z200, so that the strong super reach is achieved. It is to determine the production pattern that informs the development of.

(Decisive production)
The deciding effect is to settle the battle confrontation between the ally character and the enemy character, which was executed in the super reach effect, and notify whether or not it is controlled to the jackpot game state. Specifically, for example, after displaying that the ally character gives the final blow to the enemy character, the operation promotion display of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is performed to the player, and the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is displayed. By moving the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position at the timing when the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is not detected and the operation valid period ends, the enemy character Either the jackpot confirmation notification that defeats the player and wins the battle, or the loss confirmation notification that the mounted movable body 32 is defeated by the enemy character without being moved from the origin position to the production position and is defeated in the battle is performed.

Patterns KB-1 and KV-1 are selected when the variable display result is out of order, and the pattern KB-2, which is a pattern in which a ally character is defeated by an enemy character and is defeated in the battle is notified. KV-2 is selected when the variable display result is a big hit, and is a pattern in which a big hit confirmation notification is performed in which a ally character defeats an enemy character and wins the battle.

Further, in the patterns KB-2 and KV-2, the timing when the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is detected, or the timing when the operation valid period ends without detecting the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A. Then, the vibration motor 61 is driven for a predetermined period (for example, about 10 seconds) to vibrate the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A.

Further, when the execution of the pattern KB-2 or KV-2 is determined in the determination effect type determination process of step 241SGS282 described later, the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position at the fall timing of the mounted movable body 32. After moving to and returning to the origin position from the effect position, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position to change the decorative pattern. The display resumes. Then, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves and displays from the first effect display position to the first initial display position, and the variable display of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, so that the variable display result becomes a big hit (FIG. 17). -29 (E)-(G), see FIGS. 17-30 (A)-(F)).

On the other hand, when the execution of the pattern KB-1 or KV-1 is decided, the mounted movable body 32 does not move from the origin position at the fall timing of the mounted movable body 32, and the effect image Z57 in which the glass is cracked is displayed. The loss confirmation notification is performed, and the variable display result is lost (see FIGS. 17-29 (H) to (J)).

Next, about the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 in the super reach β and γ (strong super reach) and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200, the jackpot expectation degree according to the execution status. , Will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-11. FIG. 17-11 is a diagram showing the degree of expectation of a big hit for each execution status of the development effect A and the development effect B.

As shown in FIGS. 17-11, the pattern A is a pattern in which both the development effect A and the development effect B are not executed during the variable display period of the symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β and γ (strong super reach). Yes, pattern B is a pattern in which development effect A is non-executed and development effect B is execution, pattern C is a pattern in which development effect A is executed and development effect B is non-execution, and pattern D is. This is a pattern in which both the development effect A and the development effect B are executed.

In the above, the jackpot expectation is set so as to increase in the order of pattern A <pattern B <pattern C <pattern D. That is, in the variable display period of the symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β or the super reach γ, the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200 are executed. In time, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state (big hit expectation) is higher than when the development effect A is not executed and the development effect B is executed. Further, the ratio at which the development effect A and the development effect B are executed is controlled to the jackpot game state more than when the development effect A is executed without the development effect B being executed (big hit expectation). Is high. Further, when the development effect A and the development effect B are executed, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state (big hit expectation degree) is higher than when the development effect A and the development effect B are not executed.

FIG. 17-18 is a flowchart showing a variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is on (step 241SGS271). When the first variable display start command reception flag is in the ON state (step 241SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning command receive command buffer are set. The various command data and various flags stored in association with each other are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 241SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-1" of the first special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-2" of the first special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-1". 1 Special figure The first special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-3".

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off in step 241SGS271 (step 241SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 241SGS273). When the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 241SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is finished, and when the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 241SGS273; Y). ), Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer 109SG194A, one buffer number. It shifts upward by the minute (step 241SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-1" of the second special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-2" of the second special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-1". 2 Special figure The second special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-3".

After executing step 241SGS272 or step 241SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 241SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (step 241SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol according to the display result specified by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. do.

In the feature unit 241SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, three symbols "7" as stop symbols. ”Determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbols). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B, a plurality of combinations of odd numbers other than "7" (for example, "111") are used as stop symbols. It is determined from the combination of decorative patterns such as "333", "555", and "999"). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot C, the stop symbols are "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the small hit. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fifth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probability change jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, a decorative symbol in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as the stop symbol. Determine the combination (big hit symbol). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the sixth variable display result specification command corresponding to a small hit, the stop symbols are "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the probability variation big hit C. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the deviation, it is a decorative symbol in which the three symbols are not uniform as the stop symbol, and a combination other than the above-mentioned chance eyes. (Out of design) is decided.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, a stop symbol determination table in which random numbers for determining stop symbols are extracted and data indicating a combination of decorative symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value corresponding to the extracted random number.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the fluctuation pattern in the variable display is a normal reach fluctuation pattern or a super reach fluctuation pattern (step 241SGS277), and when it is a normal reach fluctuation pattern or a superreach fluctuation pattern (step 241SGS277). Y), the advance notice effect type determination process shown in FIG. 17-19 is executed to determine the effect pattern (effect type) of the advance notice effect A or the advance notice effect B in the variable display (step 241SGS278A), and FIG. 17- The development effect A type determination process shown in 21 (A) is executed to determine the effect pattern (effect type) of the development effect A in the variable display (step 241SGS278B). When it is not a normal reach variation pattern or a super reach variation pattern (step 241SGS277; N), the process proceeds to step 241SGS283.

As shown in FIG. 17-19, in the advance notice effect type determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (step 241SGS301). The variable display result is a variable display for designating the variable display result (off, probabilistic jackpot A, probabilistic jackpot B, probabilistic jackpot C, non-probability jackpot, small hit) transmitted from the main board 11 at the start of variable display. Variable display result specification command for storing the result specification command This can be specified by the variable display result specification command stored in the storage area. Further, as described above, the fluctuation pattern can be specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command stored in the fluctuation pattern designation command storage area. In addition, in this feature unit 241SG, since the target of the advance notice production is the normal reach and the super reach, specifically, the variable display result is a big hit (probability change big hit A, probability change big hit B, probability change big hit C, non-probability change big hit) or miss. Either of these may be specified by the variable display result specification command, and whether or not the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach may be specified by the fluctuation pattern specification command. In addition, the case of the probability variation jackpot C may be excluded as the target of the advance notice effect.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the game state is in the low base state (time saving state) (step 241SGS302), and if it is in the low base state (step 241SGS302; Y), the random number for determining the advance effect effect. Is extracted, and the effect pattern of the advance notice effect A is determined using the advance notice effect type determination table A shown in FIG. 17-20 (A) (step 241SGS303). On the other hand, when it is not in the low base state, that is, in the high base state (step 241SGS302; N), the random number for determining the advance notice effect is extracted, and the notice effect type determination table B shown in FIG. 17-20 (B) is extracted. Is used to determine the effect pattern of the advance notice effect B (step 241SGS304).

As shown in FIG. 17-20 (A), in the notice effect A type determination table, "Pattern PYA-1", "Pattern PYA-2", "Pattern PYA-3", and "Pattern PYA-4" For each, the variable display result is a probabilistic jackpot (any of probabilistic jackpot A, probabilistic jackpot B, and probabilistic jackpot C), non-probability jackpot, super reach is off, and normal reach is off. Different determination values are assigned to each of the above so as to be the number of determination values shown in FIG. 17-20 (A).

Different determination values are assigned so as to be the number of determination values shown in FIG. 17-24 (B).

Specifically, when the variable display result is a probability variation jackpot, 30 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern KB-2", and 70 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern KV-2". Assigned. In addition, when the variable display result is a non-probability change jackpot, 70 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern KB-2" and 30 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern KV-2". ing. When the variable display result is out of the super reach β / γ, 70 judgment values are assigned to the “pattern KB-1” and 30 judgment values are assigned to the “pattern KV-1”. Is assigned.

When the determination value is assigned in this way and a probability variation jackpot occurs in the variable display, the "pattern KV-1" whose operation target is the stick controller 31A is determined at the highest ratio, and the non-probability variation jackpot is determined.

Any value in the range of 1 to 100 is extracted. That is, although it is set to 100 in the range of 1 to 100 of the number of judgment values of these various effect determination random numbers, the present invention is not limited to this, and the range of these various effect determination random numbers and the like are appropriate. You just have to decide. Further, a random number counter for determining the effect for generating these various random numbers for determining the effect is set in the RAM 122, and the random number counter for determining the effect is updated every time the timer is interrupted by the random number update process. Further, a common random number may be used as these various random numbers for determining the effect.

It should be noted that the feature unit 241SG exemplifies a form in which the effect patterns of various effects are determined in the various effect type determination processes, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a character appears in addition to the above effects. It may be decided to execute a notice effect such as a character notice effect, a step-up notice in which the notice image changes stepwise, and a group notice in which a group of predetermined characters crosses the display area. In the case of determining, since the timing for starting the advance notice effect differs depending on the mode of the advance notice effect, a different period may be set according to the mode of the advance notice effect in the timer for waiting for the start of the advance notice effect, which will be described later.

Returning to FIG. 17-18, in step 241SGS283, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) according to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 241SGS284).

In the process table, display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R are controlled. The sound control execution data, the operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, and the like are arranged in order in chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). There is.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect device (image display as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Control of the device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L, 8R as production parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (step 241SGS285). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control the lighting / extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (phone number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

In the feature unit 241SG, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern designation command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed according to the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the specified command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 241SGS286). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 241SGS287). The predetermined time is, for example, 33 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the variable display image data including the image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols to the VRAM each time the predetermined time elapses. The display control unit 123 outputs a signal corresponding to the image data written in the VRAM to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal. As a result, variable display of decorative patterns and display of moving images of other effects are realized.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the value of the effect control process flag to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172), and ends the variable display start setting process (step 241SGS288).

(Example of production operation of Super Reach β)
Next, an example of the effect of Super Reach β will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-25 to 17-31. 17-25 are diagrams in which (A) to (H) show an example of an effect of super reach β mainly in normal reach. 17-26 is a diagram showing an example of a directing operation mainly in a weak super reach in FIGS. 17-26. 17-27 is a diagram showing an example of the effect operation in the same weak super reach in FIGS. 17-27. 17-28 are diagrams in which FIGS. 17-28 show an example of a directing operation mainly in a strong super reach. 17-29 is a diagram showing an example of a production operation of a strong super reach effect in FIGS. 17-29. 17-30 are diagrams (A) to (F) showing an example of the effect operation after the big hit confirmation notification. 17-31 are diagrams (A) to (D) showing details of the moving display of the first pseudo-movable body display. FIG. 17-32 is a diagram showing the relationship between the light emitting display unit and the mounted movable body LED.

Hereinafter, various production operation examples in the variable display period based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β will be described.

As shown in FIG. 17-25 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in a variable manner based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β based on the occurrence of the start winning prize. To start. Further, in the upper left of the display area of the image display device 5, the first reserved storage number (for example, the number "2"), the second reserved storage number (for example, the number "0"), and the small corresponding to the decorative symbol are displayed. A display area 5SL for displaying a symbol (for example, the arrow “↓↓↓”) is provided, and a small symbol is variably displayed in synchronization with the variable display of the decorative symbol.

Regarding the first reserved storage number, the second reserved storage number, the small symbol, and the error display (not shown) indicating the error state that has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo Since it is displayed on the front side (upper layer) of the movable body display Z200, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are duplicated, and the first reserved storage number, the second reserved storage number, and the small number are duplicated. While it is possible to prevent the visibility of the symbol and the error display from being lowered, the decorative symbol is displayed on the back side (lower layer) of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. Therefore, it is prevented that the decorative symbols overlap and the visibility of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is lowered.

After starting the variable display, when the variable display mode is set to the normal reach display mode as shown in FIG. 17-25 (B), the normal reach effect as the variable display effect of the decorative symbol is started.

As shown in FIG. 17-25 (C), the effect control CPU 120 displays the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 at the first specific initial display position at the start timing of the advance notice effect A in which a predetermined time has elapsed from the normal reach display mode. After displaying in, it is moved to the first specific effect display position (see FIG. 17-25 (D)), and as shown in FIG. 17-25 (E), it is determined by the advance notice effect type determination process in step 241SGS278A. By causing the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E to emit light with the display color corresponding to the pattern (any of PYA-1 to 4), the advance notice effect A suggesting that the jackpot game state is controlled is executed. Further, an effect image Z60 for emphasizing the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed to the first specific effect display position.

The effect image Z60 is displayed in a mode corresponding to the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E. For example, when the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in white based on the pattern PYA-1, the effect image Z60 is white and the display size is small, and the emission display units Z208A to Z208A based on the pattern PYA-4. When the emission display color of the Z208E is emitted in red, it is preferable that the effect image Z60 is red and the display size is increased according to the degree of expectation.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-25 (F), the effect image Z60 is erased, and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position, and then the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed. By erasing the pseudo movable body display Z200, the advance notice effect A ends. After that, the decorative symbol is reduced and displayed in the display area 5SR provided in the upper right of the display area of the image display device 5 in a manner slightly larger than the small symbol.

Then, when the non-execution of the development effect A is determined in the development effect A type determination process of step 241SGS278B, as shown in FIG. 17-25 (G), the mounted movable body is at the start timing of the development effect A. While holding the development notification image Z300 at the origin position without dropping the 32, the development notification image Z300 is displayed and the effect image Z61A is displayed around the development notification image Z61A to notify that the development to a weak super reach effect is developed. When the execution of the development effect A is decided, as shown in FIG. 17-25 (H), the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R are turned on at the start timing of the development effect A, and the mounted movable body is turned on. The 32 is dropped from the origin position to the effect position, and an effect image Z61B different from the effect image Z61A for emphasizing the mounted movable body 32 is displayed around the effect image Z61B to notify that the effect image Z61B is developed into a weak super reach effect.

In the feature unit 241SG, when the on-board movable body 32 is dropped as the development effect A, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is higher than when the on-board movable body 32 is not executed. Even if it is determined that the non-execution of (falling) is not performed, it is possible to notify that the development notification image Z300 will develop into a weak super reach effect by displaying the development notification image Z300.

As shown in FIG. 17-26 (A), the effect control CPU 120 starts a weak super reach effect by displaying a character image Z310 or the like after the execution period of the development effect A ends, and also starts a second pseudo. After displaying the movable body display Z200 at the first specific initial display position, the movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed at the first specific effect display position, and the development suggestion effect is started (see FIGS. 17-26 (B)). At this time, a part of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed so as to overlap the front side of the character image Z310.

Further, as a development suggestion effect, when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed to the first specific effect display position, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in white and the button LED 62 of the push button 31B is turned on. , Promotes the operation of the push button 31B.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-26 (C), an effect image Z62 for emphasizing the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. Then, when any of the patterns (PS-2 to 4) is determined in the development suggestion effect type determination process of step 241SGS280, the push button 31B during the operation valid period is as shown in FIGS. 17-26 (D). The effect image Z62 is enlarged according to the repeated hitting operation (number of times the operation is detected), and the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E are changed every time a predetermined time elapses. Suggests that B is executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17-26 (E), the blackout display is used to darken the background image while maintaining the light emission display colors of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E even after the operation valid period ends. After that, a small-sized character image Z310 having the same color as the light emission display color of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E when the operation valid period ends is displayed at a position above the second pseudo movable body display Z200, and the character image Z310 is displayed. After displaying the effect image Z63 for emphasizing (see FIG. 17-26 (F)), the character image Z310 is temporarily erased while the effect image Z63 is displayed (see FIG. 17-26 (G)), and then medium. After displaying the character image Z310 of the size (see FIG. 17-26 (H)), the character image Z310 is temporarily erased while the effect image Z63 is displayed (see FIG. 17-26 (I)), and then the large size character image Z310 is displayed. The character image Z310 is displayed (see FIG. 17-26 (J)).

In FIGS. 17-26 (E) to (J), the light emission display of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E is continued, but the effect image Z62 is preferably not displayed in consideration of the appearance of the effect.

In this way, the character images Z310 having the same color as the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in a manner of gradually increasing from the back side to the front side of the screen, and the small size, medium size, and large size character images Z310 are displayed. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 17-26 (J) in FIGS. 17-27, the second pseudo-movable body display is displayed in the area including the first specific effect display position of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. By overlapping the Z200 on the front side of at least a part of the Z200 so that the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can be visually recognized through the overlapped area, the expectation that the development effect B is executed is more preferable. Can be fanned.

Further, since the character image Z310 is preferentially displayed on the front side of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is erased without being moved to the first specific initial display position. It can be preferably suggested that the development effect B is executed by displaying the character image Z310 while distracting the player's consciousness.

Further, although the character image Z310 is displayed in a mode of gradually increasing the size, at least the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed in the area including the first specific effect display position of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 from the start of display. It may be displayed so as to overlap a part of the front side. Further, the effect image Z63 may also be displayed as a suggestion image so as to overlap at least a part of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 on the front side.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-27 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 from the first specific effect display position while displaying the large-sized character image Z310. 1 Erase (hide) without moving to the specific initial display position. Specifically, as an erasure display for emphasizing that the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 has been erased, it is hidden in a manner of gradually fading out. After that, the large-sized character image Z310 is erased by hiding it in a manner of gradually fading out.

In the feature unit 241SG, as shown in FIG. 17-27 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 as the first specific effect while displaying the large-sized character image Z310. Although a mode of erasing (non-displaying) without moving from the display position to the first specific initial display position has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 17-26 (F). When the display of the character image Z310 is started, or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the display was started, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed as the first specific effect while the character image Z310 is being displayed. It may be erased (hidden) without moving from the position to the first specific initial display position.

Further, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is not limited to the one that is erased (hidden) without being moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position, and the second pseudo-movable body display is displayed. While fading out the Z200, the Z200 may be moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position to be displayed and erased (hidden).

After that, as shown in FIG. 17-27 (B), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific initial display position at the start timing of the development effect B. Here, when the non-execution of the development effect B is determined in the development effect B type determination process of step 241SGS281, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is first specified as shown in FIG. 17-27 (C). The reach title image Z51, which will be described later, is displayed in a predetermined mode (for example, a mode at the start of display having high transmittance and low visibility) while erasing without moving from the initial display position to the first specific effect display position. By doing so, we will inform you that it will develop into a strong super reach.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 17-27 (D), when the execution of the development effect B is determined, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. By doing so, we will inform you that it will develop into a strong super reach. At this time, as shown in the enlarged view, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in a predetermined color (for example, white) during the moving display, and the rotation display unit Z207 including the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E is displayed. It is displayed in a mode of rotating it clockwise in front view. Further, an effect image Z65 for emphasizing the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the first specific effect display position.

Note that the light emission display colors of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E in FIGS. 17-27 (D) do not suggest a jackpot expectation, unlike the development suggestion effect, and are displayed on the image display device 5 as an image of a weak reach effect. The emission display color is set according to the color of the effect image Z65 or the like displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-27 (E), after displaying the reach title image Z51 described later in a predetermined mode (for example, a mode at the start of display having high transmittance and low visibility), FIG. 17- As shown in 27 (F), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is erased (hidden) without being moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-28 (A), when the effect control CPU 120 sets the variable display mode to the super reach display mode, the reach title indicating the type of super reach effect and the reach indicating the jackpot expectation level are shown. The title image Z51 is displayed to notify that the super reach effect has been developed. Next, a super reach effect (for example, an effect of displaying an image Z52 in which a friendly character and an enemy character battle (confront)) is started (see FIG. 17-28 (B)). Then, when the patterns KB-1 and KB-2 are determined in the determination effect type determination process of step 241SGS282 at the timing when a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the super reach display mode is set, that is, the operation target is a push button. In the case of 31B, as shown in FIG. 17-28 (C), an operation promotion image Z53 for promoting the pressing operation of the push button 31B is displayed to the player. On the other hand, when the patterns KV-1 and KV-2 are determined in the determination effect type determination process of step 241SGS282, that is, when the operation target is the stick controller 31A, as shown in FIG. 17-28 (D). The operation promotion image Z54 for promoting the pulling operation of the stick controller 31A is displayed on the player.

The timing or push when the push operation of the push button 31B (detection signal from the push sensor 35B) or the pull operation of the stick controller 31A (detection signal from the stick controller 31A) is detected during the operation validity period displaying the operation promotion display. If the variable display result is a big hit at the timing when the operation valid period ends without detecting the push operation of the button 31B or the pull operation of the stick controller 31A, as shown in FIG. 17-29 (E), the mounted movable body 32 Is executed from the origin position to the effect position on the front side of the display area, and the effect image Z55 is displayed. Further, according to the movement of the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position, predetermined sound effects are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the mounted movable body LED 208 is set to a predetermined color (for example, rainbow color). Make it emit light.

The effect image Z55 is an effect image including a plurality of glass fragment images displayed in a manner in which the glass is cracked and scattered, and the present invention illustrates a form similar to the effect image Z71 described later. The effect image is not limited to the above, and may be an effect image having a mode different from that of the effect image Z71. For example, by displaying only a part of the glass in a manner in which only a part of the glass is cracked and scattered as fragments and the remaining part is left, the mounted movable body 32 is displayed overlapping with the effect image Z55 displayed on the image display device 5. Even in a situation where it is difficult to see, it may be possible to make it easier for the player to grasp what has happened over a period of time.

Further, also in the effect image Z55, similarly to the effect image Z71 described later, at least one of the plurality of glass fragment images displayed in a scattered manner is the mounted movable body 32 arranged on the front side of the image display device 5. By reflecting a part of the display, the positional relationship between the mounted movable body 32 and the glass fragment image becomes clearer, so that a display with a more three-dimensional effect can be realized.

After that, after moving the mounted movable body 32 from the effect position to the origin position, as shown in FIG. 17-29 (F), after displaying the image Z56 showing that the ally character has won the battle with the enemy character. , As shown in FIGS. 17-29 (G), the combination of jackpot symbols is temporarily stopped and displayed to notify the jackpot confirmation. Even if the combination of big hit symbols is temporarily stopped and displayed, the small symbols remain variably displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-30 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect image Z71 in which the glass is cracked and the glass fragments are scattered in the display area of the image display device 5, and the first pseudo-movable. The body display Z100 is displayed at the first initial display position. Then, as shown in FIG. 17-30 (B), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and the effect movable display units Z110A to Z110D are displayed as the first effect. The display state is changed to the second effect display state. Further, it is the same as when the mounted movable body 32 is dropped in FIG. 17-29 (E) according to the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100. The speakers 8L and 8R are output with a predetermined sound effect, and the light emitting display unit Z108A is made to emit a predetermined color (for example, rainbow color).

Here, the details of the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 described with reference to FIGS. 17-30 (A) and 17-30 (B) are shown in FIGS. 17-31. explain.

As shown in FIG. 17-31 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays an effect image Z71 including an image Z71A showing a mode in which the glass is cracked and a plurality of glass fragments are scattered in the display area of the image display device 5. At the same time, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first initial display position. The effect control CPU 120 displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 so that a part of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 can be visually recognized below the mounted movable body 32 held at the origin position. Then, as shown in FIGS. 17-31 (B), when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first intermediate display position between the first initial display position and the first effect display position, FIG. 17 The amount and moving display speed of the image Z71A showing the glass fragments are increased as compared with the state shown in −31 (A), and the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed on the front side of these images Z71A.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 17-31 (C) and 17-31 (D), when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first effect display position, the glass shards are more than those shown in FIGS. 17-31 (B). The amount and movement display speed of the image Z71A showing the above are further increased, and these images Z71A are displayed on the front side of the first pseudo movable body display Z100.

In this way, the effect image Z71 for emphasizing the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 according to the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed as the first initial display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100. While displaying in the display area including the position, the first intermediate display position, and the first effect display position, only the image Z71A showing the glass fragments in the effect image Z71 is moved from the back side to the front side of the first pseudo movable body display Z100. By displaying the image Z71A in a manner of being scattered around, not only can the image Z71A give a three-dimensional effect, but also the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be made to look as if it were a real structure.

Further, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 17-31 (C), the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is transparent to any one of the plurality of images Z71A displayed on the front side of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100. The first pseudo-movable body display is displayed on any one of the plurality of images Z71A displayed visually or displayed on the front side of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 17-31 (D). By reflecting and displaying a part of the Z100, the positional relationship between the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the image Z71A becomes clearer, so that a display with a more three-dimensional effect can be realized.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17-31 (D), the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect position, and then displays the effect movable display units Z110A to Z110D as the first effect. While changing from the state to the second effect display state, the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A are executed at substantially the same cycle.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 17-32, after the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves and displays the first effect display position, the effect control CPU 120 displays the light emitting display unit Z108A in the first period ta1 to ta2 ( For example, an effect period in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first effect display position as a blinking display pattern that is light-emitting for 33 ms) and then hidden for the second period ta2 to ta3 (for example, 33 ms). While repeating the process a plurality of times over ta1 to ta4, the mounted movable body LED 208 is turned on for the first corresponding period (for example, 30 ms) corresponding to the first period, and then the second corresponding period (for example, 30 ms) corresponding to the second period is lit. The blinking pattern of turning off the light for 40 ms) is repeated a plurality of times over the production period ta1 to ta4.

In this way, by executing (synchronizing) the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A at substantially the same cycle, the effect can be more preferably excited. It is difficult to accurately match (synchronize) the time for emitting and displaying the light emitting display unit Z108A (for example, 33 ms) and the time for lighting the mounted movable body LED 208 (for example, 30 ms) in the first period ta1 to ta2. Even in some cases, for example, by making the extinguishing period of the mounted movable body LED 208 longer than the lighting period, the difference between the light emitting display of the light emitting display unit Z108A and the lighting of the mounted movable body LED 208 becomes large as time passes. Can be prevented.

Further, during the effect periods ta1 to ta4, a vibration effect may be performed in which the vibration motor 61 is driven to vibrate the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A. By doing so, the production can be made more exciting. The drive of the vibration motor 61 may be synchronized with the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A and the lighting of the mounted movable body LED 208.

Returning to FIG. 17-30 (C), the effect control CPU 120 returns the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the second effect display state to the first effect display state, and ends the reduced display of the decorative symbol. After temporarily stopping and displaying in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, as shown in FIG. 17-30 (D), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed upward, and FIG. 17-30 ( As shown in E), it is erased after moving to the first effect display position and displaying. Then, the combination of the fixed decorative symbols is stopped and displayed, and the small symbol is also stopped and displayed by the combination of the big hit symbols.

In this way, the jackpot gaming state is controlled by executing the effect of dropping the mounted movable body 32 to perform the jackpot confirmation notification, and then executing the effect of moving and displaying the first pseudo movable body display Z100. Can be more preferably felt by the player.

Returning to FIG. 17-29, a single push operation of the push button 31B (detection signal from the push sensor 35B) or a single pull operation of the stick controller 31A (from the stick controller 31A) during the operation valid period displaying the operation promotion display. If the variable display result is off at the timing when the detection signal) is detected, or when the operation valid period ends without detecting the single push operation of the push button 31B or the single pull operation of the stick controller 31A, FIGS. 17-29. As shown in (H), the effect image Z57 is displayed and the effect image Z57 is displayed without executing the movable body effect of dropping the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position above the display area of the image display device 5 to the effect position on the front side of the display area. As shown in FIG. 17-29 (I), after displaying the image Z58 showing that the ally character has lost the battle with the enemy character, as shown in FIG. 17-29 (J), the combination of the missed symbols is displayed. Stop display is displayed and notification of disconnection confirmation is performed. In addition, the combination of the missed symbols is synchronized with the stop display, and the small symbols are stopped and displayed by the combination of the missed symbols.

For example, the operation timing of the push button 31B differs between the case where the push button 31B is operated at the start of the operation valid period and the case where the push button 31B is not operated during the operation valid period. The difference in scale caused by 1. 2. Period of shaking of the decorative design until the design is confirmed. Display period of images Z55 to Z58, 3. It may be absorbed by extending or shortening any period of the effect period of the movable body effect.

(Example of production operation of Super Reach γ)

(Pseudo movable body display and movable body)
Next, the pseudo movable body display and the movable body will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-35 to 17-40. 17-35 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. 17-36 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. 17-37 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. 17-38 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. 17-39 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. FIG. 17-40 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the first pseudo-movable body display and the second pseudo-movable body display.

As shown in FIGS. 17-35, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is different from the mounted movable body 32 in form, weight, drive mechanism, etc., as described in FIG. 17-14 (B). Although it is a pseudo movable body display that imitates the mounted movable body M100, the first initial display position and the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 are both substantially the same position in the upper part of the display area of the image display device 5, and the first effect display position. Since the effect positions of the mounted movable body 32 and the mounted movable body 32 are both lower than the first initial display position and the origin position, the direction of movement from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and the mounted movable body 32 are the origin. The direction of movement from the position to the effect position is the common downward direction. That is, both the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the mounted movable body 32 are movable downward from the first initial display position and the origin position in the upper part of the display area of the image display device 5.

As described with reference to FIGS. 17-16, the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position is the effect position from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32. The moving distance to is longer than L1 (L2> L1).

Here, as shown in FIGS. 17-35 (A') to 17-35 (C'), the mounted movable body 32 falls (moves) due to its own weight from the upper origin position to the lower effect position via the intermediate position. While it takes about 300 ms, as shown in FIGS. 17-35 (A) to (C), the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 has a first effect display from the first initial display position through the first intermediate display position. It takes about 100 ms to move and display the position. That is, the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 has a longer movement display distance and is more than the movement from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 to the effect position. Is also fast.

In this way, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 imitating the first non-mounted movable body M100 can be mounted and moved as a structure that can be moved in the same direction (for example, downward) as the first non-mounted movable body M100. When it is possible to move and display from almost the same position as the body 32 in the same direction, the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is the movement display of the mounted movable body 32. By making the movement faster than the movement from the origin position to the production position, it is possible to perform a production with an impact faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32 actually mounted, which surprises the player. be able to.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 17-36 (A') and 17-36 (B'), the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 has moved from the first origin position to the first effect position below the first origin position. Occasionally, the mechanism unit M100B comes into contact with the upper part of the moving body M106 and stops due to the downward movement being restricted, and the vibration generated when the movement is restricted causes a recoil operation (rebound) of a predetermined movement amount. It is said that the display imitates the first non-mounted movable body M100 in which the above is performed.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 17-36 (A) and 17-36 (B), the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100. When the stop display is performed at the effect display position, the recoil motion display (rebound display) of a specific movement amount is performed.

More specifically, the first non-mounted movable body M100 has a cantilever structure in which only the left side of the effect unit M100A is supported by the drive mechanism M101, and when the first non-mounted movable body M100 is moved to the first effect position, the mechanism unit M100B moves to the moving body M106. Since it comes into contact with the upper part of the head and the downward movement is restricted, the mechanism unit M100B undergoes a recoil operation due to vibration before the effect unit M100A, and then the vibration is transmitted to the effect unit M100A to generate a recoil operation.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17-36 (B1), when the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position, after performing the recoil operation display of the mechanism unit M100B. , As shown in FIGS. 17-36 (B2), the recoil operation of the effect unit M100A is displayed. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 that imitates the first non-mounted movable body M100, which is different from the mounted movable body 32, is displayed in a more realistic manner (for example, the display that imitates the mounted movable body 32). It can be moved and displayed in a different mode).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17-36 (C') and 17-36 (D'), the mounted movable body 32 has a structure in which the left and right sides of the effect unit 32A are supported by the drive mechanisms 101L and 101R, and moves to the effect position. At that time, the mechanism unit 32B abuts on the upper parts of the left and right moving bodies 206 to restrict the downward movement, and the vibration generated when the movement is restricted causes a recoil operation of a predetermined movement amount.

Next, the operation modes of the mounted movable body 32 and the first pseudo movable body in the determination effect will be described.

As described with reference to FIGS. 17-28 to 17-30, the effect control CPU 120 performs a movable body effect of dropping the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position during the execution period (ta0 to ta10) of the determined effect. After executing and performing the jackpot confirmation notification, it is possible to execute the pseudo movable body display in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 17-37 (A), the effect control CPU 120 determines and starts the effect at the timing ta0, and then the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B within the operation valid period. At the detected timing ta1, the mounted movable body 32 is dropped from the origin position to the effect position. The mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position during the period TL1 (for example, about 300 ms) of the timing ta1 to ta2, and then the recoil operation is performed during the period of the timing ta2 to ta3 (for example, about 700 ms).

After that, at the timing ta4, the mounted movable body 32 is moved (raised) from the effect position to the origin position, and the big hit confirmation notification is performed. Here, the period TL3 (for example, about 1000 ms) of the timing ta4 to ta5 when the mounted movable body 32 moves from the effect position to the origin position is the period of the timing ta1 to ta2 when the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position. Longer than TL1 (eg, about 300 ms). In other words, the speed at which the mounted movable body 32 moves from the effect position to the origin position is slower than the speed at which the mounted movable body 32 moves (falls) from the origin position to the effect position.

In this way, in the production using the mounted movable body 32 which is a structure, when the mounted movable body 32 is moved from the origin position to the production position in response to the operation detection of the player, the game is performed by dropping the mounted movable body 32 faster by its own weight. While it is possible to give an impact to a person, when the mounted movable body 32 is moved from the effect position to the origin position, it is possible to prevent the mounted movable body 32 from being damaged by the impact by moving it slowly.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 at the first initial display position at the timing ta6 when a predetermined time has elapsed since the jackpot confirmation notification is performed, and the period TL2 (for example, the period ta6 to ta7) of the timing ta6 to ta7. After moving from the first initial display position to the first effect display position (about 100 ms), the recoil motion display is performed during the period from timing ta7 to ta8 (for example, about 900 ms).

After that, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed (raised) from the first effect display position to the first initial display position at the timing ta9, and then the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is erased. Here, during the period TL4 (for example, about 1000 ms) of the timing ta9 to ta10 when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first effect display position to the first initial display position, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is first. It is longer than the period TL2 (for example, about 100 ms) of the timing ta6 to ta7 for moving and displaying from the initial display position to the first effect display position. In other words, the speed at which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first effect display position to the first initial display position is such that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display. It is slower than the speed when moving to the position and displaying.

As described above, in the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100, the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is more than the movement display from the first effect display position to the first initial display position. The first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be moved and displayed in a more realistic manner by making it the same as the mounted movable body 32, such as by increasing the speed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17-37 (B), the amount of movement per unit time (for example, TL2) when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. Comparing L2 (movement display distance L2) with the movement amount L1A per unit time (for example, TL2) when moving the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 The movement amount L2 per unit time TL2 is larger than the movement amount L1A per unit time TL2 of the mounted movable body 32. That is, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can produce an effect having an impact faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32, so that the player can be surprised.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17-37 (C), the amount of movement of the first recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. L12 is larger than the movement amount L11 of the first recoil operation display performed when the mounted movable body 32 is moved and displayed from the origin position to the effect position. Further, the number of recoil movements displayed on the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 (for example, 6 times) is larger than the number of recoil movements of the mounted movable body 32 (for example, 4 times). By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can realize a pseudo effect similar to that of the first non-mounted movable body M100 without mounting the first non-mounted movable body M100. By displaying the recoil motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position in an exaggerated manner, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17-38 (A) and 17-38 (B), the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 and the first non-mounted movable body The movement display distance L2 from the first origin position to the first effect display position of the M100 is the same, and the period TL2 for moving and displaying the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is The period for moving the first non-mounted movable body M100 from the first origin position to the first effect position is shorter than the period TL10 (TL2 <TL10). Therefore, the movement amount L2 per unit time (for example, TL2) when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is the first non-mounted movable body M100. It is larger than the amount of movement per unit time (for example, TL2) when moving from one origin position to the first effect position. That is, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is more than the movement of the first non-mounted movable body M100 from the first origin position to the first effect position. Is also fast. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can produce an effect having a faster impact than the movement of the first non-mounted movable body M100, so that the player can be surprised.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17-38 (C), the amount of movement of the first recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. In L12, the movement amount L11 of the first recoil motion display performed when the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position, and the first non-mounted movable body M100 is the first from the first origin position. It is larger than the movement amount L13 of the first recoil operation display performed when the movement is displayed at the effect position. Further, the number of recoil movements displayed on the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 (for example, 6 times) is larger than the number of recoil movements (for example, 4 times) of the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 simulates the same effect as the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the mounted movable body 32 without mounting the first non-mounted movable body M100. It can be realized, and the reaction motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position or when the mounted movable body 32 moves to the effect position is displayed in an exaggerated manner. It is possible to provide a production that leaves a lasting impression on the person.

In the feature unit 241SG, the comparison between the predetermined movement amount in the recoil motion of the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the specific movement amount in the recoil motion display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is The first recoil motion and the recoil motion display were compared, but any of the recoil motions and the recoil motion display after the second time may be compared, or the total or average movement amount of the multiple recoil motions and the recoil motion. It may be compared with the displayed total or average movement amount.

Further, the recoil motion exemplifies a form in which the movable body jumps upward due to the recoil when the movable body is stopped at the second position, but includes the deformation or vibration of a predetermined portion of the movable body due to the recoil. ..

Next, as shown in FIGS. 17-39 (A), when the mounted movable body 32 is moved from the effect position to the origin position, or the first non-mounted movable body M100 is moved from the first effect position to the first origin position. In this case, since a drive source such as the mounted movable body motors 202L, 202R or M101 is used, the effect control CPU 120 timings the control speed of the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100 from the timing tb1 when the movement is started. The first period up to tb2 is increased, the period from timing tb2 to timing tb3 is constant, and the second period from timing tb3 to timing tb4 is decreased. That is, the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100 accelerate until the first period elapses after the start of movement, then move at a constant speed, and decelerate in the second period before the stop position. Stop.

On the other hand, the speed at which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are moved and displayed is from the timing tb1 at which the movement is started to the timing tb4 at which the movement is stopped, as shown in FIG. 17-39 (B). Since it is constant and the first period for accelerating the movement display and the second period for decelerating the movement display are unnecessary, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed on the first non-mounted movable body M100. And the movement of the mounted movable body 32 can be performed more smoothly.

Next, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-40.

As shown in FIGS. 17-40 (A) to 17-40, when creating a moving image in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, at least the first pseudo is created. The first frame, which is an input image for displaying the movable body display Z100 at the first initial display position, and the second frame, which is an input image for displaying the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 at the first effect display position. , Is required.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 17-40 (A') to 17-40 (B'), when creating a moving image in which the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. At the very least, for displaying the first frame, which is an input image for displaying the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 at the first specific initial display position, and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 at the first specific effect display position. A second frame, which is an input image, is required.

As described with reference to FIGS. 17-16, the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position is the first specification of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. The movement display distance L3 from the initial display position to the first specific effect display position, and the movement display distance L2 is longer than the movement display distance L3, but the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect. While the time required to move and display to the display position is about 100 ms, the time required to move and display the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position is about about 100 ms. Since it differs at 800 ms, the movement display from the first initial display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position is the first from the first specific initial display position of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. 1 It is faster than the movement display to the specific effect display position.

Here, when the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, the first frame shown in FIGS. 17-40 (A), FIG. 17- It is conceivable to display the second frame in the order shown in 40 (C), but the frame rate becomes low and the movement becomes rattling and unnatural.

Therefore, between the first frame and the second frame, the interpolation frame 1 shown in FIG. 17-40 (B) is inserted as an input image for displaying the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 at the first intermediate display position. The number of frames of the moving image is increased to increase the frame rate, and the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed for each display frame, the first initial display position, By performing the first intermediate display position and the first effect display position in this order, a natural and smooth movement display can be performed.

In this way, even when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed at high speed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, at least one interpolation frame is inserted between the first frame and the second frame. By realizing a natural and smooth movement display, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be quickly moved and displayed without deteriorating the visibility.

On the other hand, when the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the second pseudo movable body display Z200 from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, the first frame shown in FIG. 17-40 (A'), It is conceivable to display the second frame in the order shown in FIG. 17-40 (B'), but the frame rate becomes low and the movement becomes rattling and unnatural.

Therefore, in order to display the second pseudo movable body display Z200 at a plurality of first intermediate display positions between the first specific initial display position and the first specific effect display position between the first frame and the second frame. As an input image, a plurality of interpolated frames (not shown) are inserted to increase the number of frames of the moving image to increase the frame rate to realize a natural and smooth moving display, and the first specification of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. By performing the movement display from the initial display position to the first specific effect display position in the order of the first specific initial display position, each first intermediate display position, and the first specific effect display position for each display frame, the second The pseudo-movable body display Z200 can be moved and displayed at a speed slower than that of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 without deteriorating the visibility.

Further, for example, in the advance notice effect B, the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position or from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. When PBY-4 to be moved and displayed is executed, and when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second intermediate effect display position, the pattern PBY- 1. The ratio controlled to the big hit state (big hit expectation) is different from that when PBY-2 is executed, so that the ratio controlled to the big hit gaming state is different between the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second. The pseudo movable body display Z200 can be recognized by the player due to the difference in the speed of the movement display.

Further, the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and the PBY-4 in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. Patterns PBY-1 and PBY-2 in which the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second intermediate effect display position when is executed. Since the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot state (big hit expectation) is higher than when is executed, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be noticed.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and stopped and displayed at the first effect display position on the image display device 5. An example of a mode in which a recoil motion display (rebound display) of a predetermined movement amount is performed has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 17-34 (D) to (E), an image display is performed. When the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved from the second initial display position to the second effect display position and stopped and displayed at the second effect display position by the device 5, a recoil operation display of a predetermined movement amount ( Bounce display) may be performed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17-33 (A) to (B), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position on the image display device 5. When the second intermediate effect display position is stopped and displayed, or as shown in FIGS. 17-33 (D) to (E), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the second specific initial display position on the image display device 5. When the movement is displayed at the second specific effect display position and the stop display is performed at the second specific effect display position, a recoil operation display (rebound display) of a predetermined movement amount may be performed.

Further, in the notice effect B, the recoil operation display performed when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 moves from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position is a notice. In the effect A, it is preferable that the amount of movement is larger than the recoil operation display performed when the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. By doing so, since the amount of movement of the advance notice effect B is larger than that of the advance notice effect A, the movement display can be performed in a more realistic manner.

In addition, the recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position after the pattern PBY-3 of the advance notice effect B or the big hit notification of the determined effect is performed. However, it is preferable that the amount of movement is larger than the recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved from the second initial display position to the second effect display position in the pattern PBY-4 of the advance notice effect B. .. By doing so, the recoil motion display becomes larger when the downward movement display is performed than when the upward movement display is performed, so that the movement display can be performed in a more realistic manner.

(Action / effect)
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 241SG, the direction in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect position and the mounted movable body 32 are the origin positions. The direction of movement from to the effect position is a common downward direction, and the movement amount L2 per unit time TL2 of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is larger than the movement amount L1A per unit time TL2 of the mounted movable body 32. big.
According to this feature, the player can be surprised by the fact that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can produce an effect having an impact faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32.
Further, since it is possible to move and display at a speed that is difficult to realize with the mounted movable body 32 and to move and display at a plurality of speeds, it is possible to diversify the effect.

The feature unit 241SG exemplifies a mode in which the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the moving speed of the mounted movable body 32 are compared, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first It may be a comparison of the speed between the movement display of the pseudo movable body display Z100 and the movement of the first non-mounted movable body M100, or the movement display of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 and the second non-mounted movable body M200. It may be a comparison of speed with movement. That is, in the case of comparing the speeds of the movement display of the pseudo-movable body display and the movement of the movable body, the pseudo-movable body display and the type of the movable body to be compared may be arbitrarily changed.

Further, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is a display imitating the first non-mounted movable body M100 in which a recoil operation of a predetermined movement amount is performed when moving from the first origin position to the first effect position. The control CPU 120 moves the first pseudo movable body display Z100 up and down between the first initial display position corresponding to the first origin position and the first effect display position corresponding to the first effect position on the image display device 5. It is possible to move and display in the direction, and when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and stopped and displayed at the first effect display position, a predetermined amount of movement is displayed. The reaction motion display (rebound display) is performed, and the movement amount L12 of the first reaction motion display performed when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. Is larger than the movement amount L13 of the first reaction motion display performed when the first non-mounted movable body M100 is moved and displayed from the first origin position to the first effect position.
According to this feature, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can realize a pseudo effect similar to that of the first non-mounted movable body M100 without mounting the first non-mounted movable body M100. By displaying the recoil motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position in an exaggerated manner, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

The feature unit 241SG exemplifies a form in which the recoil motion display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 and the recoil motion amount of the first non-mounted movable body M100 are compared, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, it may be a comparison of the recoil motion display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 and the movement amount of the recoil motion of the second non-mounted movable body M200, or the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 or the second pseudo-movable body. It may be a comparison between the recoil motion display of the display Z200 and the recoil motion of the mounted movable body 32. That is, in the case of comparing the amount of movement between the reactionary motion display of the pseudo-movable body display and the recoil motion of the movable body, the pseudo-movable body display and the type of the movable body to be compared may be arbitrarily changed.

Further, in the variable display period of the symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β or the super reach γ, the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200 are executed. In time, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state (big hit expectation) is higher than when the development effect A is not executed and the development effect B is executed.
According to this feature, the player can be noticed that the development effect A, which is a movable body effect, and the development effect B, which is a pseudo-movable body display effect, are executed.
When the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200 are executed, the development effect A is not executed and the development effect B is executed. The fact that the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state is higher than that of the game including the case where the development effect A and the development effect B are controlled to the jackpot gaming state at a rate of 100% when the development effect A and the development effect B are executed.

In addition, it suggests the possibility that the advance notice effect A that announces the possibility (expectation degree) that the variable display result will be a big hit, the development effect B that notifies that the variable display result will develop into a strong super reach effect, and the development effect B will be executed. It is possible to execute the development suggestion effect, and in the advance notice effect A, after the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, the first specific effect display is displayed. After moving from the position to the first specific initial display position and then hiding it, in the development effect B, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific effect display position, and then from the first specific effect display position. The second pseudo movable body display Z200 displayed at the first specific initial display position is hidden before the development effect B is executed by hiding the movement display to the first specific initial display position. At this time, the character image Z310 can be displayed in the display area including the first specific effect display position.
According to this feature, in the advance notice effect A, since the second pseudo movable body display Z200 moves and displays in the same manner as the movable body as a structure, whether or not it is controlled to an advantageous state without giving a sense of discomfort to the player. On the other hand, in the development suggestion effect, the display of the character image Z310 is prioritized over the movement display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 in the same manner as the movable body, from the first specific effect display position. Since the display is hidden without returning to the first specific initial display position, the player can pay attention to the suggestion of the execution of the development effect B.

In addition, it is possible to execute a deciding effect that notifies whether or not the game is controlled to the jackpot game state, and a development effect B that develops into a strong super reach effect and notifies that the deciding effect is executed. When the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed in B, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, and then the first specific effect display is displayed. A display area including the first specific effect display position, in which the reach title image Z51 suggesting the execution of the development effect B is hidden without being moved from the position to the first specific initial display position. When the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed in the determined effect, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and then the display is performed. It is hidden after being moved from the first effect display position to the first initial display position.
According to this feature, before the determination effect is executed, the second display of the suggestive image is prioritized over the movement display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 in the same manner as the movable body as a structure. Since it is hidden without returning from the position to the first display position, the player can pay attention to the suggestion of execution of the decision effect, while in the decision effect, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is the same as the movable body. Since the movement is displayed in this way, it is possible to pay attention to the notification of the content that is advantageous to the player without giving the player a sense of discomfort.
In the feature unit 241SG, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed in the development effect B (specific effect), and the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed in the determined effect (special effect). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a common pseudo-movable body display may be moved between the specific effect and the special effect.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 displays the movement display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position for each display frame, the first initial display position, the first intermediate display position, and the like. And the first effect display position, and in the display area including the first initial display position, the first intermediate display position, and the first effect display position, a specific image that emphasizes the movement display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 ( For example, it is possible to display an effect image Z71) in which the glass is cracked and the image Z71A showing a plurality of glass fragments is scattered.
According to this feature, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be moved and displayed quickly without deteriorating the visibility, and the movement display is emphasized by a specific image to give a suitable impression to the player. Can be attached.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 displays the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position for each display frame, the first initial display position, the first intermediate display position, and the like. And the first effect display position, and the movement display from the first initial display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position is the first specific initial display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. The pattern PBY-3 or the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position in the advance notice effect B, which is faster than the movement display from the position to the first specific effect display position. When PBY-4, which is moved and displayed from the second initial display position to the second effect display position, is executed, and when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second. The ratio controlled to the jackpot state (big hit expectation) differs between when the patterns PBY-1 and PBY-2 that are moved and displayed at the intermediate effect display position are executed.
According to this feature, the player can pay attention to which of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed, and the ratio controlled to the jackpot gaming state is different. The player can be made to recognize the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 by the difference in the speed of the movement display.
In the notice effect B, the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and the pattern PBY-3 are moved from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. A big hit when the pattern PBY-4 to be executed is executed and when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is executed from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second intermediate effect display position. The difference in the ratio controlled to the state (expected jackpot) is that the percentage controlled to the jackpot state when the pattern PBY-3 or the pattern PBY-4 is executed in the advance notice B is 100%, and the pattern PBY- When 1 or pattern PBY-2 is executed, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is 0%, or when pattern PBY-1 or pattern PBY-2 is executed in the advance notice effect B, the jackpot state is controlled. This includes the case where the ratio is 100% and the ratio controlled to the jackpot gaming state when the pattern PBY-3 or the pattern PBY-4 is executed is 0%.

Further, by making the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 a display image having not only the effect display units Z100A and Z200A but also the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B, the movable body operates by the drive mechanism. While it is possible to express the body more realistically and realize a movable body display effect similar to the movable body effect, with regard to the movement display, not only the movement display is performed in the same manner as the movement of the movable body, but also the movable body is displayed. Then, by making it possible to move and display a mode that is difficult to realize due to reasons such as a complicated mechanism and an increase in cost, it is possible to preferably improve the interest of the production.

In addition, the feature unit 241SG erases (hides) the movement display in a mode that is difficult to realize with a movable body, without displaying the high-speed movement, the deformed display, and the return display from the effect display position to the initial display position. Although the above is illustrated, it is possible to provide an unexpected effect by realistically expressing the display mode of the pseudo-movable body display and unrealistically displaying the moving display.

In particular, since the pseudo movable body display moved to the effect display position can be hidden or displayed at a desired timing, for example, the movable body as a structure moved to the effect display position is returned to the origin position. At that time, it is possible to avoid deterioration of visibility due to hiding of other production images, and it is possible to start the next production immediately, which has the effect of increasing the degree of freedom in production design. Play.

Further, the movement amount L12 of the first recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is the first non-mounted movable body M100. Is larger than the movement amount L13 of the first recoil motion display performed when the movement is displayed from the first origin position to the first effect position, so that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 causes the first non-mounted movable body M100. It is possible to realize the same effect as the first non-mounted movable body M100 without mounting the above, and exaggerate the recoil motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position. By displaying in the above-mentioned manner, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

Further, since the moving display distance L2 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is longer than the moving distance L1 from the origin position to the effect position, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is mounted. Since the moving speed is faster and the moving distance is longer than that of the movable body 32, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

Further, the pseudo movable body display includes the effect display units Z100A and Z200A and the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B, and in the movement display of the pseudo movable body display, the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B are more than the effect display units Z100A and Z200A. By reaching the first effect display position first, the pseudo movable body display can be moved and displayed in a more realistic manner.

Further, the movement amount L2 per unit time TL2 of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is larger than the movement amount L1A per unit time TL2 of the mounted movable body 32, so that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is more realistic. It can be moved and displayed in various modes.

Further, the movement period between the origin position and the effect position of the mounted movable body 32 includes a first period in which the speed increases and a second period in which the speed decreases, and the movement display of the pseudo movable body display is included. Since the period does not include the first period and the second period, the movement display of the pseudo movable body display can be performed more smoothly than the movement of the movable body.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect position, and then executes the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A in substantially the same cycle. , The player can be made to pay attention to the first pseudo movable body display Z100 which is moved and displayed at the first effect display position.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 does not emit light from the light emitting display unit Z108A when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed, so that the incomplete first pseudo movable body display Z100 during the moving display is seen. By not standing up, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the effect of the effect.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect position, and then executes the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A in substantially the same cycle. , The first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be moved and displayed in a more realistic manner.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 can move and display the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position, and is second in the advance notice effect A. The pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is secondly specified from the second specific initial display position in the advance notice effect B. By moving to the effect display position and displaying differently from the right direction, one pseudo-movable body display can be moved and displayed from multiple display positions, so the player can create an unexpected effect that is difficult to achieve with a movable body. Can be provided to.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and then moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. By being able to move and display in a direction different from that of the above, it is possible to provide the player with an unexpected effect that is difficult to realize with a movable body.

(Modification example 1)
Next, a modification 1 of the feature portion 241SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-41. 17-41 is a diagram showing modification 1 of the feature portion 241SG in FIGS. 17-41.

In the feature unit 241SG, as described with reference to FIG. 17-25, in the advance notice effect A, after the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed. An example is illustrated in which the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position as the development effect A after moving and displaying from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position and then erasing.

Here, as shown in FIG. 17-41 (D), the movable range of the mounted movable body 32 and a part of the movable range of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 overlap, that is, the mounted movable body is moved to the effect position. When the movable body 32 and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed to the first specific effect display position overlap, the effect control CPU 120 moves the mounted movable body 32 to the effect position and the second pseudo. When the movement display of the movable body display Z200 to the first specific effect display position is executed in a common period, the mounted movable body 32 overlaps on the front side of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is overlapped. Since it becomes difficult to visually recognize the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, it becomes easy to understand that the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is not a structure but a display body, and the interest of the production is lowered.

In such a case, as shown in FIG. 17-41 (A), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific initial display position and moved from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. After displaying (see FIG. 17-41 (B)), by erasing without moving from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position (see FIG. 17-41 (C)), FIG. 17 As shown in −41 (D), it may be avoided that the mounted movable body 32 moved from the origin position to the effect position as the development effect A overlaps with the second pseudo movable body display Z200.

(Modification 2)
Next, a modification 2 of the feature portion 241SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-42. 17-42 is a diagram showing modification 2 of the feature portion 241SG in FIGS. 17-42.

In the feature unit 241SG, the direction in which the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position and the direction in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position are common. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the mounted movable body 401 as the second modification is in the first position and below the first position. The direction of movement between the second position and the direction in which the pseudo-movable body display Z402 as the second modification is moved and displayed between the first display position and the second display position above the first display position. , Is a common direction (for example, in the vertical direction), the movement display from the first display position to the second display position of the pseudo movable body display Z402 is the second from the first position of the mounted movable body 401. It should be faster than moving to a position.

Further, the direction in which the mounted movable body 401 moves from the first position to the second position (downward) and the direction in which the pseudo movable body display Z402 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position (upward direction). And may be in different directions.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, the movement of the mounted movable body 32 and the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are not executed in a common period, but the present invention Is not limited to this, and as in the second modification, by executing the movement of the mounted movable body 401 and the movement display of the pseudo movable body display Z402 in a common period, the mounted movable body 401 and the pseudo movable body 401 are simulated. It may be possible to perform an effect using the movable body display Z402.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 17-42, the mounted movable body 401 as the second modification is a structure in which the characters "go" are displayed, and is the first structure above the display area of the image display device 5. It is possible to move between one position and a second position below the first position, and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R as the second modification are the first predetermined positions on the left and right sides of the display area of the image display device 5. And the second predetermined position closer to the center than the first predetermined position, and the pseudo movable body display Z402 as the second modification can display the characters of "body" and is an image display device. It is possible to move and display between the first display position at the bottom of the display area 5 and the second display position above the first display position. The detailed drive mechanism of the mounted movable body 401 and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R will not be illustrated or described.

For example, when the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect using the mounted movable bodies 401, 501L, 501R and the pseudo movable body display Z402 in the above-mentioned advance notice effects A, B, development effects A, B, etc., first, FIG. As shown in 17-42 (A), the pseudo-movable body display is shown in FIG. 17-42 (B) with the mounted movable body 401 and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R standing by at the first position. After displaying Z402 at the first display position, as shown in FIG. 17-42 (C), the pseudo movable body display Z402 is moved and displayed from the first display position to the second display position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-42 (D), the mounted movable body 401 is moved from the first position to the second position. Then, when the mounted movable body 401 moves to a position close to the pseudo movable body display Z402 displayed at the second display position, the pseudo movable body display Z402 is moved and displayed toward the first display position. At this time, it is preferable to move and display the mounted movable body 401 on the pseudo movable body display Z 402 so that the mounted movable body 401 does not overlap.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17-42 (E), when the mounted movable body 401 moves to the second position and the pseudo movable body display Z402 moves and displays the pseudo movable body display Z402 to the first display position, the mounted movable body 401 is simulated. The closest to the movable body display Z402, the character "coalescence" is recognizable in a pseudo-coalescence state. Then, as shown in FIG. 17-42 (F), while maintaining the pseudo-union state of the mounted movable body 401 and the pseudo movable body display Z402, the mounted movable body 401 is moved upward and the pseudo movable body display Z402 is displayed. By moving the display upward and further moving the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R to the second predetermined position, it is notified that the effect is developed due to the success of the pseudo-coalescence.

After that, as shown in FIG. 17-42 (G), the mounted movable body 401 and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R are moved to the first position and the first predetermined position, and the pseudo movable body display Z402 is set as the first display position. Is moved and displayed by dividing the image into different first specific display positions (for example, positions on the left and right sides), and then erased by frame-out or fade-out on the left and right sides of the screen.

On the other hand, when it is decided to notify that the pseudo-coalescence is not successful and the effect does not develop, as shown in FIG. 17-42 (D), the mounted movable body 401 is moved downward and pseudo-movable. In the middle of displaying the downward movement of the body display Z402, the downward movement of the mounted movable body 401 is stopped while decelerating, and the pseudo movable body display Z402 is displayed in such a manner that the upper part is destroyed. Notify that the pseudo coalescence is not successful and the production does not develop. As described above, in the pseudo-movable body display Z402, it is possible to easily realize an effect in a mode that is difficult to realize with a movable body as a structure.

(Modification example 3)
Next, a modification 3 of the feature portion 241SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 17-43. 17-43 are views (A) to (C) showing a modification 3 of the feature portion 241SG.

In the feature unit 241SG, the effect control CPU 120 exemplifies a mode in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can be moved and displayed between the first display position and the second display position. The present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to one capable of reciprocating movement display in one direction such as a vertical direction or a horizontal direction. For example, the effect control CPU 120 is shown in FIGS. 17-43 ( A) As shown in (B), after the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, as shown in FIG. 17-43 (C), the first It may be possible to move and display in a direction different from the direction in which the movement is displayed from the initial display position to the first effect display position.

As shown in FIG. 17-43 (C), in the first effect display position, what is a linear movement display in one direction, such as displaying only the effect display unit Z200A vertically around a rotation axis that faces the left-right direction? It is preferable to be able to execute various modes of movement display, such as different rotational movement displays and movement displays in a mode of moving toward another direction (for example, a depth direction) different from one direction. By doing so, it is possible to provide the player with an unexpected effect that is difficult to realize with a movable body.

Although the feature portion 241SG in the embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these examples, and there are changes and additions within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. Is also included in the present invention.

(Explanation of deformation and application)
In the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which the mounted movable body 32 is applied as a movable body mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of devices other than the mounted movable body 32 are used. The movable body may be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, the frame is not limited to the board-side movable body provided on the game board 2, but may be a frame-side movable body provided on a game machine frame 3 or an opening / closing door capable of opening and closing the game machine frame 3. A pseudo movable body display that imitates a side movable body may be movable and displayed. Further, as the board-side movable body, it may be possible to display a pseudo movable body display that imitates a variable winning device provided in connection with the game.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200 are applied as movable bodies that are planned to be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1 but are not mounted is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and movable bodies other than the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200 are scheduled to be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, but they are not mounted. May be good.

Further, the feature unit 241SG exemplifies a mode in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are hidden in a manner of gradually fading out when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are erased. The effect image that emphasizes the erasure may be displayed, and the erasure may be performed by a method other than these.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, the moving distance L1 from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 to the effect display position is the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position. It is shorter than that, and when the mounted movable body 32 moves and when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed, a common effect image Z71 in which the glass is cracked and glass fragments are scattered is displayed, and is common. Although the form of outputting the effect sound has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the moving distance L1 from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 to the effect position is set to the first of the first pseudo movable body display Z100. An effect image that is longer than the moving display distance L2 from the initial display position to the first effect display position and has a different mode depending on whether the mounted movable body 32 moves or the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed. It may be displayed and a different sound effect may be output. By doing so, it is possible to make the movement of the mounted movable body 32 stand out by utilizing the movement display of the pseudo movable body display.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, in the variable display period of the super reach, the movement of the mounted movable body 32 can be executed up to two times as the development effect A and the effect, and the movement display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is , The notice effect B and the determined effect can be executed up to 2 times, and the movement display of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 can be executed up to 4 times of the advance notice effect A, the advance notice effect B, the development suggestion effect, and the development effect B. Although a certain form has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of times of execution of the movement display of the movable body and the movement display of the pseudo movable body display may be executed a number of times other than the above number of times.

Further, when the movable body can be moved the first time in one variable display period, the pseudo-movable body display can be moved a second time more than the first time in one variable display period. preferable. By doing so, instead of increasing the execution opportunity of the movable body effect too much and lowering the jackpot expectation, by increasing the execution opportunity of the pseudo movable body display, the effect is reduced. It is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

In addition to the above-mentioned plurality of effects, for example, the pseudo movable body display may be moved and displayed at the time of symbol promotion in the re-lottery after the big hit confirmation notification, or during the big hit middle effect. The movable body display may be a pseudo movable body display different from the first pseudo movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo movable body display Z200.

Further, the advance notice effect A is applied as a special suggestion effect suggesting that the control is performed in an advantageous state, the development effect B is applied as a notification effect for notifying the content advantageous to the player, and the notification effect is executed. A development suggestion effect is applied as a suggestion predetermined effect, a determined effect is applied as a special effect notifying that the special effect is controlled to an advantageous state, and it is suggested that the special effect is executed before the special effect is executed. Although the embodiment in which the notice effect B is applied is illustrated as the specific effect, the present invention is not limited to this, and various effects other than the above can be applied. Further, although these various effects can be executed in the variable display period of one super reach, the effects may be executed over a plurality of variable display periods.

In addition, the contents that are advantageous for the player are, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, pseudo-ream, big hit, small hit, reach, hold ream, chance-up effect, pre-reading notice effect, time reduction loss, ceiling time reduction control described later, etc. , Variable display results, controls and effects may be included. Further, in the slot machine, chance zone (CZ) winning, assist time (AT) winning, replay time (RT) winning, bonus winning and the like may be included.

Further, when the feature unit 241SG starts displaying the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, the game board 2 and the game effect lamp 9 provided on the game machine frame 3 may be displayed. By reducing or turning off the brightness, the display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is made conspicuous, while the display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed. When erasing, the game for the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is performed by increasing or lighting the brightness of the game effect lamp 9 provided on the game board 2 or the game machine frame 3. It can distract the person's consciousness.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, the amount of light of the game effect lamp 9 provided on the game board 2 and the game machine frame 3 can be adjusted by the player's operation, while the first pseudo movable body display Z100. It is preferable that the amount of light of the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E of the light emitting display unit Z108A and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 cannot be adjusted by the player's operation. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the pseudo-movable body display from being spoiled or inconspicuous.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 displayed at the first specific initial display position is hidden in the development suggestion effect, the display area including the first specific effect display position is displayed. Although the embodiment in which the character image Z310 is preferentially displayed as the notification-related image has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the notification-related image is an image related to the notification effect (for example, development effect B). If there is, an image other than the character image (for example, an image imitating smoke, fog, waves, etc.) may be used.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, in the development effect B, as a suggestion image suggesting the execution of the determined effect, a form in which the reach title image Z51 is displayed in the mode at the start of display is exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. An image other than the reach title image (for example, a character image appearing in a strong super reach effect or a determined effect) may be used as long as the suggested image suggests the execution of the determined effect. ..

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, an embodiment in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can be displayed in different periods is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, a plurality of pseudo movable body displays may be moved and displayed in a common period. In this case, for example, the movable displayable range of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the movable displayable range of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 overlap, and the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 overlaps in the overlapping area. And the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, one of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed on the display layer on the front side of the other, so that they can be displayed on each other. Since it is possible to make people aware of the front-back positional relationship, it is possible to realize a more realistic production.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, it is considered that the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are cut off at the edge of the display area of the image display device 5 and displayed. Then, the mounted movable body, the center decorative frame, or the like may be arranged so as to cover the portion where the display of the mechanism display unit of the pseudo movable body display is started in the display area of the image display device 5, or the mounted movable body may be movable. It may be difficult to visually recognize the portion where the display of the mechanical display unit of the pseudo movable body display is started by moving the body.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which "time reduction loss" is included as a display result of the variable display is illustrated, but the CPU 103 describes a predetermined condition (for example, a flag stored in the RAM 102 in the initialization process of step S6). Variable display has been performed a specified number of times (for example, 900 times, etc.) from the time when the counter or buffer is cleared, the jackpot game state is controlled, or the display result is set to be out of time. ) Based on what has been done, it may be possible to execute ceiling time reduction control that controls the time reduction state without going through the jackpot game state. The internal count of the specified number of times is reset when the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the number of time reductions in the time reduction state (for example, 900 times) by the ceiling time reduction control is the same as the number of time reductions in the normal time reduction state (for example, 100 times). May be different.

When the above-mentioned ceiling time reduction control is executed and the number of times the variable display is executed reaches the above-mentioned specified number of times without satisfying the above-mentioned predetermined conditions, the effect control CPU 120 displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 or the second. Pseudo-movable body display The moving display of the pseudo-movable body display such as Z200 may be executable. In this way, it may be possible to execute the movement display of the pseudo movable body display in each notification such as the big hit notification, the notification of the loss of time reduction, the notification of the ceiling time reduction control, and the type and movement display of the pseudo movable body display in each notification. The mode and the like may be different.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed as a notification of a big hit is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display result is a small hit or a time saving. In the case of disconnection or when the above-mentioned ceiling time reduction control is executed, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is used to notify the small hit or the time reduction and the ceiling time reduction control. On the other hand, when the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit may be notified by moving the mounted movable body 32.

In addition, depending on whether the display result of the variable display is a small hit or a short hit, or if the display result of the variable display is a big hit, a common type of pseudo-movable body display is used for notification, but the movement display is used.
