Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that is capable of playing a game.

By making the video data displayed during the game different from the video data of the decorative pattern in the conventional gaming machine, the video data displayed during the game can be reused as common video data in the successor machine. Some have reduced the manufacturing cost of gaming machines (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-30778

However, in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the game entertainment cannot be enjoyed because the impression that the video data gives to the player is not taken into consideration when the video data displayed during the game is reused. ..

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the gaming interest.

The gaming machine of means 1 is
A gaming machine capable of playing a game (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1).
After displaying the first stage image (for example, the effect image of the first stage effect B), the second stage image (for example, the effect image of the second stage effect) is displayed, and the effect result suggesting that it is advantageous for the player (for example, the fall suggestion result notification). An effect executing means (for example, a portion where the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 10) capable of executing a notice effect (for example, the reach effect of the super reach γ) for displaying the effect image). Prepare,
The effect executing means is one of the first image (for example, the effect image of the first additional effect) constituting a part of the specific image (for example, the effect image of the previous effect B) and the specific image as the pre-stage image. The advance notice effect can be executed by displaying a second image (for example, an effect image of the second additional effect) that is an image constituting the unit and includes an image different from the first image.
The first image and the second image are common image sections (for example, FIGS. 11-18 (D) to 11-18 (E) and FIGS. 11-19 (A) to 11) in which the first image and the second image are images common to each other. -19 (B) including the common production section)
The display period of the latter-stage image is longer than the total display period in which the display period of the first image and the display period of the second image are totaled (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, the effect period of the latter-stage effect). The length L3 is longer than the sum of the length L41 of the production period of the first additional production and the length L42 of the production period of the second additional production).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the display period of the common video unit is shorter than the display period of the first video and the display period of the second video, and the display period of the subsequent video is the display period of the first video and the display period of the second video. Since it is longer than the total display period, which is the sum of the above, it is possible to prevent the player from giving the impression that the common video unit is the video unit displayed in both the first video and the second video. , You can improve the game entertainment.

The present invention may have only the invention-specific matters described in the claims of the present invention, and has a configuration other than the invention-specific matters together with the invention-specific matters described in the claims of the present invention. It may be a thing.

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

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). Variations 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. In the variation of the special symbol or the ordinary symbol described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative pattern described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged / reduced. It should be noted that the fluctuation includes a mode in which a certain symbol is blinking 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 variable display or variable.

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 only 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 device), 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 effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

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

On the screen of the image display device 5, a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display in which execution is suspended or an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed may be provided. Hold display and active display are 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 hold storages. 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. The total of the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number is also referred to as the total reserved storage number.

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

A winning ball device 6A is provided below the image display device 5, and a variable winning ball device 6B is provided on the right side of the winning ball device 6A.

The winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening in which a game ball is always kept 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. 3). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, so that the tip of the movable wing pieces is in a vertical position. Is close to the winning ball device 6A and is in a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, the variable-sweep wing device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening because the movable wing piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is on (second start). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the second special figure game may be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any as long as it changes between the closed state and the open state, and is not limited to the one provided with the electric tulip type accessory.

A predetermined ball receiving member always keeps a constant open state at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three places on the lower left of the game area and one place on the upper side of the variable winning ball device 6B). A general winning opening 10 is provided. 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.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3), and the large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by 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 prize balls. 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 7-segment LEDs and the like, and performs variable display of ordinary symbols as a plurality of types of ordinary identification information different from special symbols. An ordinary symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern 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 that changes the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, there is an out opening for taking in a game ball that has not entered any of the winning openings.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3. A main lamp 9a is provided above the image display device 5 in the gaming machine frame 3, and frame lamps 9b are provided on the left and right sides of the main lamp 9a so as to surround the gaming area. Further, an attacker lamp 9c is provided in the vicinity of the special variable winning ball device 7 on the game board 2.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (upper position of the image display device 5 in FIG. 1), a movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided. Further, the movable body 32 is provided with a movable body lamp 9d. The movable body lamp 9d, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, and the attacker lamp 9c described above may be collectively referred to as a game effect lamp 9.

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the pachinko gaming machine 1. A main board 11 housed in a board case 201 is mounted on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The main board 11 is provided with a setting key 51 and a setting changeover switch 52. The setting key 51 functions as a lock switch for switching to a setting change state or a setting confirmation state. The setting changeover switch 52 functions as a setting switch for changing the setting values such as the winning probability of the big hit and the payout rate in the setting change state. The setting key 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 may be attached to the outside of the main board 11 such as a predetermined position of the power supply board 17.

A display monitor 29 is arranged in the center of the back surface of the main board 11, and a display changeover switch 31 is arranged on the side of the display monitor 29. The display monitor 29 may be configured by using, for example, a 7-segment LED display device. The display monitor 29 and the display changeover switch 31 are arranged in front of the main board 11 when the back side of the game board 2 is visually recognized with the gaming machine frame 3 open.

The display monitor 29 can display winning information such as a continuous ratio, a combination ratio, and a base. The ratio is the ratio of the total number of prize balls to the number of prize balls by winning a prize in the big winning opening (attacker). The role ratio is the ratio of the number of prize balls by winning the second starting winning opening (Denchu) and the number of winning balls by winning the big winning opening (attacker) to the total number of prize balls. The base is the ratio of the total number of prize balls to the number of game balls launched. The display monitor 29 can display the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the setting is changed or the setting is confirmed. The display monitor 29 may be capable of displaying a setting value or the like to be changed or confirmed when the setting is changed or confirmed.

When the gaming machine frame 3 is closed, the security cover 50A covers the right side portion of the board case 201 including the setting key 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 from the back surface side. The security cover 50A is a substantially L-shaped member including a short piece 50Aa and a long piece 50Ab, and may be made of a transparent synthetic resin.

(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 to 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 the execution of the previous normal map game (when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 but the normal map 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 symbol that is out of the normal symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol is "out of the normal symbol". When it becomes "per-normal", 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 jackpot game state described later (a start winning has occurred, but it is based on the starting winning). If the special figure game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the approach is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (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 "big hit" and the jackpot symbol. If a special symbol different from the above (missing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it is "missing". The "missing" in the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes a "missing time reduction" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time saving state) without going through the jackpot game.

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.

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. 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 opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is open in this way is called a round (round game). In the big hit game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number (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 big hit type is set for "big hit". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc.) are prepared, and the big hit type is set according to these. Has been done. As the jackpot type, a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls can be obtained, or a jackpot type in which almost no prize balls can be obtained may be provided.

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 from 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. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

In the probabilistic state (probability fluctuation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability change 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 in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol is improved and the “big hit” is likely to occur, which is a more advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the probabilistic 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 that is advantageous for the player, a time saving state, and a probability change state, and the display result in the normal figure game is "normal figure hit". The pachinko gaming 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 gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as when the process was 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 reduction control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time reduction 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 a time-saving state, a high-accuracy high-base state in a probabilistic state, and a low-accuracy low-base state in a normal state. The high-accuracy state and the low-base state are also called the high-accuracy low-base state.

The gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming 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 probable change 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 pattern 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 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) which 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 become 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 an aspect that is continuing.

In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative pattern. 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 effects include, 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 definite decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of the 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 all 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 "probability change jackpot" which is controlled to the probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are all stopped and displayed, and the probability change state is changed 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 stopped and displayed. 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 change jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a definite decorative symbol of a non-reach combination ("" (Also referred to as "non-reach off") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "non-reach off"). In addition, when the display result is "off", 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 that is not a big hit combination ("reach loss"). 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 "out of reach").

The effect that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute includes displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notice effect includes a notice effect 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 (holding 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, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demo effect is executed).

It 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.

A reset signal, a power cutoff signal, and a clear signal from the power supply board 17 are taken into the switch circuit 110 and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The reset signal is an operation stop signal for putting a control circuit such as a game control microcomputer 100 into an operation stop state, and can be output by using any of a power supply monitoring circuit, a watchdog timer built-in IC, and a system reset IC. All you need is. The power cutoff signal turns off when the predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and turns on when the period during which the predetermined power supply voltage falls below the predetermined value continues until the power failure reference time or longer. Become. The clear signal is turned on in response to, for example, a pressing operation on the clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17.

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

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, display results of a special figure game (including a jackpot type)), and fluctuation patterns 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 the winning, the number of reserved 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 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 an effect together with the display control unit 123 by executing a program stored in the ROM 121 (a process for realizing the above-mentioned function of the effect control board 12, and is an 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 an effect based on an 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 sound to be output) to the voice control board 13 in order to output a 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 the lighting / extinguishing mode of the lamp) 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process of step S5, the setting confirmation state in which the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be confirmed is set, and the setting is made from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, it is possible to confirm the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 by the display of 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 missing symbol or the like is stopped and displayed, or the display corresponding to the game stop state different from the missing symbol is displayed. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

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

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting change state in which the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be changed is set, 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 the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 29 is sequentially updated and displayed every time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected. After that, based on the fact that the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a staff member of the game hall 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 gaming machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be in the gaming 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 open 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 S6. The setting change process of S7 is executed and the setting change state can be controlled. If the clear switch is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 and the setting confirmation state can be controlled. If the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is off or the setting key 51 is off when the power supply is started, the initialization process of step S6 is executed if the clear switch is on. On the other hand, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery process of step S4 is executed, but it is not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

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

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to enter 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 error processing on the main side, 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 such as the number of times of winning and the probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of the probability change state) 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 a 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 jackpot game state, control the game state, and the like.

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

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

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

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random 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 storages, 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 storages, the read-ahead judgment, etc. is set on the effect control board 12. Will be. 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 executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4, for example, 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 reserved information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is set as "big hit" and the big hit type when it is set as "big hit" are displayed as the display result. Is determined (predetermined) before it is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a definite special symbol (either a jackpot symbol or a missed 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. It should be noted that 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 stored, 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 decisions based on the random number value, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (a table in which the decision value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the decision result) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this variation pattern setting process, a process of determining the variation pattern to one of a plurality of types using a random value for determining the variation pattern based on a preliminary determination result of whether or not the display result is a "big hit", etc. It 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 figure game (special figure fluctuation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the variable display mode 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 variation processing, the processing for setting the special symbol to be varied 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 variation 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 change of the special symbol reaches the special symbol fluctuation 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". When the display result is "off", 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 times cut is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening 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 open upper limit period for opening the big winning opening and the upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to which type of big hit. 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 big hit post-opening process, there is a process of determining whether or not the number of rounds to be executed with the big winning opening open has reached the set maximum number of executions, and a big hit game state when the maximum number of executions has been reached. It includes the process of making 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 jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end process 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 corresponding to the period in which the ending effect as an effect effect for notifying the end of the jackpot game state is executed, and a probable 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 process ends.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured such that 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 winning probability of the big hit and the payout 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 of 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 gradually. .. If the winning probability of the big hit changes according to the set value, the payout rate may also change according to the set value. While the jackpot winning probability is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state may change according to the set value. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be configured so that any one of a plurality of setting values having different advantages for the player can be set. The set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is notified by transmitting a set value designation command from the side of the main board 11 to the side of the effect control board 12.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table. FIG. 7A shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special figure used when the variable special figure is the first special figure, and FIG. 7B shows the second special figure of the variable special figure. The configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used in the case of a 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 symbol 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 a 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. 7A, 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 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken and compared with the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, 1020-1237 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 probable change state, out of the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and the other numerical ranges are "missing". Assigned. The case where the variable special map has a set value of 2 to 6 in the first special map and the gaming state is a normal state or a time-saving state is as shown in FIG. 7 (A).

As shown in FIG. 7B, 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 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken and compared with the random value MR1 for determining 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 probable change state, out of the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and the other numerical ranges are "missing". Assigned. It should be noted that the case where the variable special figure has the set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 7 (B).

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit judgment value assigned to "big hit" and "missing time saving" in each display result judgment table, as shown in FIG. 8, 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 (1020-1237 is assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of the 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 determination value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the setting value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the setting value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the setting value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the setting value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, it is common among the hit determination values that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535. 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 reduction state, the range from 65317 to 65535 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 65535, with 65317 as the reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) set in the previous term. Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time reduction overlaps with the range of the jackpot determination value that changes according to each set value.

Further, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the probability change state, the range from 102 to 1346 of the hit determination values 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 (1020-1346 is 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 determination value is a range of 1347 to 1383 for the setting value 2, a range of 1347 to 1429 for the setting value 3, a range of 1347 to 1487 for the setting value 4, and a range of 1347 to 1556 for the setting value 5. , The setting 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 gaming state is the probabilistic state, when the set value is 1, the common numerical value range among the hit determination values which can take the value in the range of 0 to 65535 ( When only the numerical value in 1020 to 1346) is assigned to "big hit", when the set value is 2 or more, it is within the range of the common numerical range plus the non-common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. Numerical values 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 102 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 (1020-1237 is assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of the 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 determination value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the setting value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the setting value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the setting value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the setting 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 "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 determination value is in the range of 65317 to 65425, with 65317 as the reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of jackpot determination value (1020 to 1346) of the set value 6. Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time reduction overlaps with the range of the jackpot determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure when the game state is the probability change state, the range from 102 to 1346 of the hit determination values is a common numerical value of the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. It is set to 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, and the variable special figure is the second special symbol, the set value is set in the case where the gaming state is the normal state and the case where the playing state is 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, in the case where the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the ratio of the variable display result to be out of time is the same ratio in all the set values, so that the setting value is gambling. Can be prevented from becoming excessively high. Further, regarding the time-reduced deviation to which a common judgment value number is assigned to each set value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from 65317, which is the time-reduced deviation reference value, in any setting value, it is variablely displayed. It is possible to reduce the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination that the result is out of time.

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 different ratios according to the set value based on the allocation of the determination values 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 different ratios depending on the set value based on the allocation of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the variation pattern may be determined at a common rate 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.

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply 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. 9 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and sets 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 side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disabled, but if a CPU that is not automatically interrupt disabled is used, the interrupt is interrupted. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI command). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in, for example, the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt enable, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are made. 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 receive 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. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, setting, and the like 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 S175 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in, for example, the RAM 122.

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 variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command for designating the start of variable display is received from the main board 11. And so on. 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, the mode thereof, 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 the execution of 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 terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start the variable display of the decorative symbol 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 effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and commands (illuminated signals) to the lamp control board 14. 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 by 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 specifying to start the big hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command for specifying 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 S174 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 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 process, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to the value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. Update to ", and end the production process during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 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 corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and various effect controls of the ending effect at the end of the big hit 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 is terminated.

A part of the light emitting effect image transmitted through the first transmissive image unit and a part of the light emitting effect image transmitted through the second transmissive image unit are displayed differently (the display mode is different). For example, as shown in the modified example 037SG-11, if the display mode of the first transmissive portion and the second transmissive portion is different due to the difference in the transmittance of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E between the first transmissive portion and the second transmissive portion. Part to make),
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, a part of the light emitting effect image is a part of the transparent effect image depending on which of the transparent image part of the first transparent image part and the second transparent image part is transmitted and displayed. By making the display mode different, the player can be made to recognize the specific effect as a more realistic effect, and the effect of the specific effect can be improved.

The gaming machine according to the 14th aspect of the invention 061 is the gaming machine according to any one of the first to the thirteenth aspects.
In the specific effect, the effect execution means is
The light emitting effect image can be displayed so as to be located in front of the predetermined image (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 (F), the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed on the background image 5a and each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R. The part to be displayed with priority over),
When displaying the light emission effect image, a special image different from the light emission effect image can be displayed, and the entire display area can be concealed by the light emission effect image and the special image (for example, variant 037SG-). As shown in 12, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed, a special image is displayed in the area where the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is not displayed in the display area of the image display device 5).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the entire display area is hidden from the player by displaying the light emitting effect image and the special image, so that the image displayed after the light emitting effect image is displayed is the light emitting effect image. Since it is possible to prevent inconveniences such as being inferred or recognized by the player from the display of the above, it is possible to preferably execute the specific effect.

FIG. 11-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 037SG. As shown in FIG. 11-1, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the feature unit 037SG, the decorative body 037SG300 is arranged at a position below the image display device 5 so as to be visible to the player. An annular first decorative lamp 9e is arranged on the front side of the decorative body 037SG300 (see FIGS. 11-26). Further, an annular second decorative lamp 9f is arranged inside the first decorative lamp 9e, and an annular third decorative lamp 9g is arranged inside the second decorative lamp 9f.

As shown in FIG. 11-2, the first decorative lamp 9e, the second decorative lamp 9f, and the third decorative lamp 9g play together with the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d. It is a lamp constituting the effect lamp 9, and can emit light by being controlled by the lamp control board 14.

FIG. 11-3 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 037SG. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, 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 "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is "0". The command form shown in FIG. 11-3 (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. 11-3 (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 each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a symbol (also referred to as an effect symbol). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the content of instruction by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data are set according to the variation pattern to be specified.

The command 8CXXH 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. 11-3 (B), the determination result (predetermined result) of whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing" or "big hit". ) Or, different EXT data are set according to the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is set when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (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 that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit C" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C04H is a 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 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 gaming state designation command for designating the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, for example, different EXT data are set according to 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 reduction control nor the probability change control is performed, and the command 9501H is executed by the time reduction 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 used as the third game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high probability low base state, time reduction no probability change state) in which the time reduction control is performed while the probability change control is performed, and the command 9503H is the time reduction control and probability change. This is the 4th 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.

Command 9600H is to change the gaming state from the probabilistic state to the low probable state (in the case of the feature unit 037SG, the low probable high base state) when the gaming state is the probable change state (high probability high base state). That is, it is a probability change fall notification command that notifies the end (fall) of the probability change state. The command 97XXH notifies the value of the time reduction variable display count counter indicating the variable display number in the time reduction state (high base state) when the game state is the time reduction state (high accuracy high base state and low accuracy high base state). This is a time saving notification 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 jackpot game. The command A1XXH is a notification command during the opening of the big winning opening, which 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.

In the hit start specification command and the hit end specification command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the big hit 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 designation command. .. In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big 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 described later corresponds to. 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 is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting 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 is 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 storage 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 start condition is satisfied. , Is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second hold storage 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 start 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 commands shown in FIG. 11-3 (A) are examples, and may not have some of these commands, 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. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 11-4, in the feature unit 037SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern , Numerical data indicating each of the random value MR4 for determining the display result of the normal map and the random value MR5 for determining the probability change / fall are controlled so as to be countable. In addition, random values 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 referred to as game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data indicating a part or all of these random number values MR1 to MR5. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), to update various numerical data by software to obtain random numbers MR1 to MR5. Numerical data indicating a part 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 gaming state, for example. It takes a value in the range of "1" to "65536". The random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type has one of "probability variable 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 one 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 value to be obtained, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "13", for example.

The random number value MR5 for the probability change fall determination ends the probability change state at the end of the variable display when the variable display result becomes "missing" when the game state is the probability change state (high probability high base state) (probability change). It is a random value used to determine whether or not to fall, and takes a value in the range of, for example, "1" to "500".

FIG. 11-5 (A) shows a configuration example of a special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 037SG uses a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The individual special figure display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table 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 is derived and displayed, it is referred to to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. It is a table to be played.

In the special figure display result determination table in the feature unit 037SG, the special figure display result determination table is characterized according to whether the gaming state in 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 (determination value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the special figure display result judgment table, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment determines whether or not to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state. It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in the feature unit 037SG, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), more judgment values are obtained than in 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 probabilistic state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the 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 determined (about 1/300 in the main feature unit 037SG) (about 1 in the main feature unit 037SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, it is determined that when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), it is controlled to the big hit gaming 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 is high.

FIG. 11-5 (B) shows a configuration example of the probability change / fall determination table stored in the ROM 101. The probability change fall determination table controls the gaming state from the next variable display to the low probability state (low probability high base state) when the variable display result is out of alignment in the probability change state (also known as "winning the probability change fall"). It is a table used to judge whether or not it is. In the probabilistic fall determination table in the feature unit 037SG, only the determination value "1" is assigned to the winning of the probabilistic fall in the range of 1 to 500 that the random number value MR5 can take, and other numerical values ("2"). "-" 500 ") are assigned to non-winning probable falls. That is, in the probabilistic state in the feature unit 037SG, the probabilistic fall is won at a rate of 1/500 for each variable display.

FIG. 11-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table in the feature unit 037SG is based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type when it is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big hit". It is a table referenced to determine the crab. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first). 2 The numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot A", depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots such as "probability variation jackpot B" and "probability variation jackpot C".

Here, the jackpot type in the feature unit 037SG will be described with reference to FIG. 11-6 (B). In the feature unit 037SG, the jackpot type includes high accuracy control and time saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming state. "Probability change big hit A" and "Probability change big hit B" that are executed and shift to the high accuracy high base state, and high accuracy low base state where high accuracy control is executed but time saving control is not executed after the end of the big hit game state. A "probability variation jackpot C" to be transferred and a "non-probability variation jackpot" to be executed only for the time saving control after the end of the jackpot game state and to transition to the low probability variation high base state are set.

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

The high-accuracy control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probabilistic jackpot A to the probabilistic jackpot C is the special figure game in which the fall lottery using the probabilistic fall determination table shown in FIG. 11-5 (B) described above is used. It will continue to run until the end. Further, the time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probability variation jackpot A to the probability variation jackpot C is from the time when the probability variation state is controlled until the 100th special figure game (variable display of the special symbol) is executed. If the fall lottery is won, the game ends when the special figure game is executed 100 times or the game is in a big hit game state before the 100 special figure games are executed. If the fall lottery is won in the 101st or later special figure game after being controlled to the probabilistic state, the fall lottery ends when the winning special figure game ends or the big hit game state is reached. Therefore, when the jackpot that occurs again is one of the probability variation jackpot A to the probability variation jackpot C, 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 is in the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive villa state that occurs continuously without intervention.

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "non-probability variable big hit" is the big hit game before the special figure game is executed 100 times or the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times. It ends when it becomes a state.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), "probability variation jackpot A" and "probability variable jackpot A" are used depending on whether the variablely displayed special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. The assignment 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 different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined to control the jackpot type to the jackpot state with a small number of rounds as "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Due to the high opening control, in the game state where the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the frequent occurrence of the big hit state where the number of prize balls obtained is small is avoided and the game interest is reduced. It is designed to prevent this.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (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 is present or not, the probability of becoming a non-probability jackpot and the probability of becoming a probabilistic jackpot are the same regardless of whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is said that.

Therefore, as described above, the assignment of the determination values for the "probability change 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 assignment 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 change big hit B" or "probability change big hit C". It may be assigned to a type. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value smaller than that in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure is in the big hit type of "probability change big hit B" or "probability change big hit 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. 11-7 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 037SG. In this feature unit 037SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol corresponds to the case of "non-reach" and the case of "reach", and is variable. A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to the case where the display result is a "big 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 loss variation pattern"). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss 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 “missing”. 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. Although the feature unit 037SG is provided with one type of normal reach variation pattern, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types of normal reach variation patterns may be provided. Further, in the present feature unit 037SG, four types of fluctuation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ are provided as super reach fluctuation patterns, but the present invention is not limited thereto. , Only 5 or more or 3 or less types of super reach fluctuation patterns may be provided.

The super reach fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 037SG is a fluctuation pattern (PA2-2) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) in which the variable display result is a big hit as the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α, and the super reach β. A fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a fluctuation pattern, and a fluctuation pattern (PB1-4) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a fluctuation pattern of super reach γ. A fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) that deviates from the fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) and a fluctuation pattern (PA2-5) that deviates from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-5) in which the variable display result is a big hit are provided as the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ.

The fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ is a fluctuation pattern in which the variable display result is notified by executing the probabilistic fall suggestion effect suggesting that the fall lottery has been won as the reach effect of the super reach γ. As the reach effect of the super reach γ, the fluctuation pattern executes the probabilistic fall suggestion effect that suggests that the player has won the fall lottery, and notifies that the player has won the fall lottery once, and then, as the reach effect of the super reach δ. It is a variation pattern that executes a revival suggestion effect suggesting that the variable display result is a big hit and notifies the variable display result.

As shown in FIG. 11-7, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 037SG is set shorter than that of the super reach fluctuation pattern.

In addition, in this feature unit 037SG, since the jackpot expectation that the variable display result becomes "big hit" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach is set to be high, the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern are set. The longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined by using only the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided, and the type of the variation pattern is first determined from these random values for determining the variation pattern type. The fluctuation pattern belonging to the determined type may be determined.

FIG. 11-8 is an explanatory diagram of a method for determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 037SG.

It should be noted that the feature unit 037SG exemplifies a mode in which a variation pattern is determined regardless of the jackpot type when the variable display result is a jackpot, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. The selection ratio of any of the fluctuation patterns for jackpots (PB1-1 to PB1-5) may be different depending on the jackpot type. By doing so, it is possible to create a variation pattern that is easily determined for each jackpot type, so that the player can pay attention to which variation pattern variable display results in a jackpot. You can improve your hobby.

FIG. 11-9 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S110 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 11-9, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special figure reserved storage number is “0” (step 037SGS141). The second special figure hold storage number is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step 037SGS141, the second reserved storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting unit may be read, and it may be determined whether or not the read value is “0”.

When the second special figure hold storage number is other than "0" in step 037SGS141 (step 037SGS141; N), the hold data stored corresponding to the hold number "1" in the second special figure hold storage unit. As a result, numerical data indicating a random value MR1 for determining a special figure display result, a random value MR2 for determining a jackpot type, a random value MR3 for determining a fluctuation pattern, and a random value MR5 for determining a probable change / fall are read out (step 037SGS142). .. The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step 037SGS142, the second special figure holding storage number and the total holding storage number are subtracted by 1 by subtracting 1 from the second special figure holding storage count value and the total holding storage count value and updating. The data in the second special figure reservation storage unit is updated as well as being updated. Specifically, the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entry lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entry corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the second special figure hold storage unit are shown. The pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 037SGS143).

After that, after updating the variable special map designated buffer value, which is the stored value of the variable special map designated buffer, to "2" (step 037SGS144), the process proceeds to step 037SGS149a.

On the other hand, when the second special figure reserved storage number is "0" in step 037SGS141 (step 037SGS141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure reserved storage number is "0" (step 037SGS145). .. The first special figure hold storage number is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step 037SGS145, if the game control counter setting unit reads the first hold storage count value stored in the first hold storage counter and determines whether or not the read value is "0". good. As described above, the process of step 037SGS145 is executed when it is determined in step 037SGS141 that the second special figure holding storage number is "0", and the first special figure holding storage number is "0". Judge whether or not. As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

It should be noted that the special figure game using the second special figure is not limited to the one executed in preference to the special figure game using the first special figure, for example, the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening. The execution of the special figure game may be started in the order in which the game balls enter (pass) and the start prize is generated. In this case, a table for storing data that can specify the order in which the start winnings are generated is provided, and the execution of the special figure game using either the first special figure or the second special figure is started from the stored data. I just need to be able to decide.

When the first special figure hold storage number is other than "0" in step 037SGS145 (step 037SGS145; N), the hold data stored corresponding to the hold number "1" in the first special figure hold storage unit. As a result, numerical data indicating a random value MR1 for determining a special figure display result, a random value MR2 for determining a jackpot type, a random value MR3 for determining a fluctuation pattern, and a random value MR5 for determining a probable change / fall are read out (step 037SGS146). .. The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step 037SGS146, the first special figure holding memory number and the total holding storage number are subtracted by 1 by subtracting 1 from the first special figure holding storage number count value and the total holding storage number count value and updating. The data in the first special figure reservation storage unit is updated as well as being updated. Specifically, the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entry lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entry corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the first special figure hold storage unit are shown. The pending data is shifted up one entry at a time (step 037SGS147).

After that, after updating the variable special map designated buffer value, which is the stored value of the variable special map designated buffer, to "1" (step 037SGS148), the process proceeds to step 037SGS149a.

In step 037SGS149a, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is on (step 037SGS149a). When the time saving flag is on (step 037SGS149a; Y), the value of the time saving variable display count counter indicating the variable display number in the time saving state is incremented by +1 to proceed to step 037SGS149c (step 037SGS149b), and when the time saving flag is off. (Step 037SGS149a; N) proceeds to step 037SGS149c without going through step 037SGS149b.

In step 037SGS149c, the special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 11-5 is used as a table for determining whether the special figure display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, is "big hit" or "missing". Select a table and set it. Next, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result stored in the random number buffer for fluctuation is compared with the determination value assigned to each special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing". , It is determined whether the special figure display result is "big hit" or "missing" (step 037SGS150a). In this step 037SGS150a, if the gaming state at that time is a high probability state (probability change state) in which the probability change flag is on, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is in the high probability state (probability change state). ) Corresponds to the range of 1000 to 12180, it is determined to be a "big hit", and if it is not applicable, it is determined to be "missing". Further, in the low probability state in which the probability variation flag is off (in the case of this feature unit, the low probability low base state), if the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result falls within the range of 1 to 219, "big hit". , And if not applicable, it is determined to be "missing".

As described above, in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected in step 037SGS149c, different determination values are assigned to the "big hit" according to the game state (high probability, low probability) at that time. , In the process of step 037SGS150a, the special figure display result using different determination data (judgment value) depending on whether or not the gaming state when the variable display of the special figure game or the like is started is a highly accurate state. By determining whether or not to set "big hit", when the gaming state is in the high probability state, it is determined (determined) to be "big hit" with a higher probability than in the case of the low probability state.

If it is determined in step 037SGS150a that it is a "big hit" (step 037SGS150a; Y), the big hit flag is turned on (step 037SGS152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A) is selected and set as a table to be used for determining the jackpot type to one of a plurality of types (step 037SGS153). By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in this way, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination stored in the variable random number buffer, and the "non-probability variation jackpot" and "probability variation jackpot" in the jackpot type determination table. It is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type should be, depending on which of the determination values assigned to each jackpot type of "A", "probability variation jackpot B", and "probability variation jackpot C" is matched (step 037SGS154). ).

By determining the jackpot type in the process of step 037SGS154, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state is changed into a time-saving state (low accuracy high base state) and a probability variation state (low accuracy high base state) and a probability change state (highly advantageous to the player) than the time saving state. Which of the game states to control (high accuracy and high base state) will be determined before the definite special symbol as the variable display result is derived. Corresponding to the jackpot type determined in this way, for example, by setting the jackpot type buffer value which is the stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (step 037SGS155), the determined jackpot type can be selected. Remember. As an example, if the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot" corresponding to non-probability variation jackpot, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "0", and if it is "probability variation A" corresponding to probability variation jackpot A, it is set to "1". If it is "probability change B" corresponding to B, it may be set to "2", and if it is "probability change C" corresponding to probability change jackpot C, it may be set to "3". After the processing of step 037SGS155, the process proceeds to step 037SGS156.

If it is determined in step 037SGS150a that it is "off" (step 037SGS150a; N), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is on (step 037SGS150b). When the probability change flag is off (step 037SGS150b; N), the process proceeds to step 037SGS156, and when the probability change flag is on (step 037SGS150b; Y), the fall determination table shown in FIG. 11-5 (B) is selected. set. Then, the numerical data of the random value MR5 for the probability change fall determination is compared with each determination value assigned to "winning" and "non-winning", and the probability variation fall lottery result is either "winning" or "non-winning". It is determined whether or not to carry (step 037SGS150c). If the probabilistic fall lottery is not won (step 037SGS150c; N), the process proceeds to step 037SGS156, and if the probabilistic fall lottery is won (step 037SGS150c; Y), the fall winning flag indicating that the probabilistic fall lottery is won is turned on. (Step 037SGS151a), the transmission setting of the fall notification command is set, and the process proceeds to step 037SGS156 (step 037SGS151b).

The fall notification command set to be transmitted in step 037SGS151b is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing the command control process shown in FIG.

In step 037SGS156, the CPU 103 corresponds to a pre-determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state (whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on) and a determination result of the jackpot type in the case of the jackpot gaming state. , Set a confirmed special symbol. As an example, a special symbol indicating the "-" symbol, which is an outlier symbol, is set as the finalized special symbol in response to the pre-determined result that the special symbol display result is "out of place". Further, when it is determined in step 037SGS150a that the special figure display result is "big hit", when the big hit type in step 037SGS154 is "probability variable big hit A", a special symbol indicating the number "7" is displayed. Set to a confirmed special symbol. When the jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot B", the special symbol indicating the number "5" is set as the confirmed special symbol. When the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot", the special symbol indicating the number "3" is set as the confirmed special symbol. When the jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot C", the special symbol indicating the number "1" is set as the confirmed special symbol. It should be noted that these confirmed special symbols are examples, and other confirmed special symbols may be set, or a plurality of types of symbols may be set as confirmed special symbols.

After setting the confirmed special symbol in step 037SGS156, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" which is a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern setting process (step 037SGS157), and then the special symbol normal processing is terminated. ..

If the number of reserved memory of the special figure game using the first special figure is "0" in step 037SGS145 (step 037SGS145; Y), after performing the predetermined demo display setting (step 037SGS158), The normal processing of the special symbol is terminated. In this demo display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo designation command) for designating a demonstration display (demo screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 is an effect control from the main board 11. It is determined whether or not the transmission has been sent to the board 12. At this time, if the customer waiting demo designation command has already been sent, the demo display setting is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it has not been sent, the setting for sending the customer waiting demo designation command is made, and then the demo display setting is terminated.

FIG. 11-10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 6 as the variation pattern setting process. In the fluctuation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 11-10, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS161). Then, if the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS161; Y), it is further determined whether or not the time saving flag is turned on (step 037SGS162a). When the time saving flag is off (step 037SGS162a; N), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected and the process proceeds to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS164).

Further, when the time saving flag is on (step 037SGS162a; Y), the value of the time saving variable display count counter is 101 or more, that is, after 101 times in the time saving state including the probability change state. It is determined whether or not the display is variable (step 037SGS162b). When the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100 or less (step 037SGS162b; N), it is further determined whether or not the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100 (step 037SGS162c). When the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 99 or less, that is, the variable display is the 1st to 99th variable display in the time reduction state including the probability change state (step 037SGS162c; N), the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is displayed. Select and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163a). When the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100, that is, when the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time reduction state including the probability change state (step 037SGS162c; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table C is displayed. Select and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163b).

When the value of the time reduction variable display number counter is 101 or more in step 037SGS162b (step 037SGS162b; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table D is selected and the process proceeds to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163c).

In the determination in step 037SGS161, if the jackpot flag is not turned on (step 037SGS161; N), it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is turned on, so that the gaming state is shortened in the probable change state or the time saving state. It is determined whether or not the time reduction control for which the control is performed is in progress (step 037SGS165a). Then, if the time saving flag is turned on (step 037SGS165a; Y), it is determined whether or not the value of the time saving variable display count counter is 101 or more (step 037SGS165b). When the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100 or less, it is further determined whether or not the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100 (step 037SG165c). When the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 99 or less, that is, when the variable display is the 1st to 99th variable display in the time reduction state including the probability change state (step 037SGS165c; N), the deviation pattern determination for loss Select table D and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS166a).

When the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100 in step 037SGS165c, that is, when the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time reduction state including the probabilistic change state (step 037SGS165c; Y), the deviation pattern determination Select table E and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS166b).

Further, when the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 101 or more in step 037SGS165b, that is, when the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the time reduction state including the probabilistic change state (step 037SGS165b; Y), the product falls. It is determined whether or not the winning flag is on (step 037SGS167). When the fall winning flag is on, that is, when it is determined that the probability change flag is turned off at the end of the variable display (step 037SGS167; Y), the outlier variation pattern determination table F is selected and stepped. Proceed to 037SGS175 (step 037SGS168a). When the fall winning flag is off (step 037SGS167; N), the deviation pattern determination table G is selected and the process proceeds to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS168b).

Further, when the time saving flag is in the off state in step 037SGS165a (step 037SGS165a; N), the variation is caused by, for example, reading the stored value of the hold storage number counter of the variation special figure provided in the game control counter setting unit. The reserved storage number of the special figure is specified, and it is determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the specified variable special figure is 1 or 2 (step 037SGS170).

When the number of reserved memory of the specified variation special figure is 1 or 2 (step 037SGS170; N), the deviation pattern determination table A is used as a table to be used for determining the variation pattern to one of a plurality of types. Select and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS171).

Further, when the reserved storage number of the specified variable special figure is not 1 or 2 (step 037SGS170; N), it is further determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the specified variable special figure is 3 (step 037SGS172). ).

When the number of reserved memory of the specified variation special figure is 3 (step 037SGS172; Y), the deviation pattern determination table B is selected as the table to be used for determining the variation pattern to one of a plurality of types. To step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS173).

Further, when the number of reserved memory of the specified variable chart is not 3, that is, when the number of reserved memory of the specified variable chart is 4 (step 037SGS172; N), any one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns is used. As the table to be used for determining the above, the deviation pattern determination table C is selected and the process proceeds to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS174).

In the process of step 037SGS175, the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table or the deviation pattern is selected (set) based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination stored in the random number buffer for fluctuation, for example. By referring to the determination table, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types (step 037SGS175).

When the jackpot flag is off, the variable display mode is determined by the process of step 037SGS175 to determine whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach". That is, the process of step 037SGS170 includes a process of determining whether or not to set the variable display state of the decorative symbol to the reach state when the variable display result is “missing”.

After the fluctuation pattern is determined in step 037SGS175, the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B according to the fluctuation special symbol designation buffer value. A setting is made to start the variation of the special symbol so as to start any of the special map games using the second special symbol (step 037SGS176). As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", a setting for transmitting a drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", a setting for transmitting a drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is made.

Following the process of step 037SGS176, settings for transmitting various commands used at the start of fluctuation of the special symbol are set (step 037SGS177). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a first variable display start command, a variable pattern designation command, and a variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially send the result specification command, the time reduction number notification command, and the first hold storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address (start address) in ROM 101 of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is used. It is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a second variable display start command, a variable pattern designation command, and a variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the result specification command and the second hold storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is provided in the game control buffer setting unit. Stores in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer.

After executing the process of step 037SGS177, the special symbol variation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol according to the determination result of the variation pattern, is set (step 037SGS178). The special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is required from the start of the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the finalized special symbol, which is the variable display result (special symbol display result), is stopped and displayed. It's time. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "2", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation processing (step 037SGS179), and then the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

Based on the command transmission setting in step 037SGS177, every time the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. 5 is executed after the variation pattern setting process is completed, the game state from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The specified command, the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command, the variable pattern specification command, the variable display result specification command, the first reserved storage number notification command or the second reserved storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. It will be. The order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be arbitrarily changed. For example, after the variable display result specification command is transmitted first, the first variable display start command, the second variable display start command, and the variation pattern It may be transmitted in the order of a designated command, a game state designation command, a first hold storage number notification command, a second hold storage number notification command, or the like.

11-11 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 sets the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation processing in step S112 to the ON state, terminates the variation of the special symbol, and causes the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. Control is performed to stop and display the stop symbol (step 037SGS180). When the variation special symbol designation buffer value is "1" indicating the first special symbol, the variation of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is terminated, and the variation special symbol designation buffer value is changed. When it is "2" indicating the second special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is terminated. In addition, control is performed to transmit a symbol determination command to the effect control board 12 (step 037SGS181).

Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS182). When the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS182; Y), the CPU 103 clears the probability change flag and the time saving flag to turn it off (step 037SGS184) if the probability change flag and the time saving flag are turned on. , Hit start 1 designated command (probability variable jackpot A), hit start 2 designated command (probable variable jackpot B), hit start 3 designated command (probability variable jackpot C), according to the type of jackpot stored on the effect control board 12. Hit start 4 Make settings for transmitting the designated command (non-probability change) (step 037SGS185).

Further, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting a game state designation command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (step 037SGS186).

Then, a value corresponding to the jackpot display time (time for notifying the occurrence of the jackpot, for example, in the image display device 5) is set in the jackpot display time timer (step 037SGS187). In addition, the number of times of opening (for example, 10 times in the case of non-probability big hit or probability change big hit A, 5 times in the case of probability change big hit B, and 2 times in the case of probability change big hit C) is set in the big winning opening opening number counter. (Step 037SGS188). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" (step 037SGS189), which is a value corresponding to the jackpot opening pre-processing (step S114), and the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off (step 037SGS182; N), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the fall winning flag is on (step 037SGS190a). When the fall winning flag is on (step 037SGS190a; Y), the fall winning flag is turned off and the probability change flag is turned off to proceed to step 037SGS191 (step 037SGS190b, step 037SGS190c). If the fall winning flag is off (step 037SGS190a; N), the process proceeds to step 037SGS191 without executing the processes of step 037SGS190b and step 037SGS190c.

In step 037SGS191, the CPU 103 determines whether or not any numerical value is set in the time reduction variable display counter (step 037SGS191). If no value is set in the time reduction variable display count counter, that is, if the time reduction state including the probability change state is not set (step 037SGS191; N), the process proceeds to step 037SGS195, and any value is set in the time reduction variable display count counter. When it is set (step 037SGS191; Y), the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is incremented by 1 (step 037SGS192), and it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100 or more (step 037SGS193). ). When the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 99 or less (step 037SGS193; N), the process proceeds to step 037SGS195, and when the value of the time reduction variable display count counter is 100 or more (step 037SGS193; Y), the probability change flag is further set. It is determined whether or not it is off (step 037SGS193a).

When the probability change flag is on (step 037SGS193a; Y), the process proceeds to step 037SGS195, and when the probability change flag is off (step 037SGS193a; Y), the time reduction flag is turned off and the time reduction variable display count counter is cleared (step 037SGS193a; Y). Step 037SGS194, step 037SGS194a), and step 037SGS195.

In the process of step 037SGS195, the transmission setting of the game state designation command corresponding to the game state (specifically, the low probability low base state) corresponding to the state of the probability change flag or the time reduction flag is set (step 037SGS196). Then, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "0", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, the special symbol stop processing is terminated (step 037SGS196).

FIG. 11-12 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 6 as the jackpot end process.

In the jackpot end process, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer is operating, that is, the timer is being counted (step 037SGS201). When the big hit end display timer is not operating (step 037SGS201; N), the value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time (big hit end display time) for displaying the big hit end on the image display device 5 on the big hit end display timer. Is set (step 037SGS202), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the big hit end display timer is operating (step 037SGS201; Y), the value of the big hit end display timer is subtracted by 1 (step 037SGS203). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the jackpot end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the jackpot end display time has elapsed (step 037SGS204). If it has not passed, the process ends.

If the jackpot end display time has elapsed (step 037SGS204; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether the stored jackpot type is a non-probability variable jackpot (step 037SGS205).

When the stored jackpot type is not a non-probability jackpot (step 037SGS205; N), the probability variation flag is turned on (step 037SGS207), the time saving flag is turned on (step 037SGS208), and the time saving variable display count counter is set to ". After setting "0" (step 037SGS212), the process proceeds to step 037SGS213.

On the other hand, when the jackpot type is a non-probability variable jackpot (step 037SGS205; Y), by executing step 037SGS211 and step 037SGS212, the time saving flag is turned on and the time saving variable display count counter is set to "0". After setting, the process proceeds to step 037SGS213.

In step 037SGS213, the jackpot flag is turned off, and the transmission setting of the jackpot end designation command according to the jackpot type is set (step 037SGS214). Then, after setting the transmission of the game state specification command for notifying the effect control board 12 of the game state based on the probability change flag and the time reduction flag turned on (step 037SGS215), the value of the special figure process flag is special. It is updated to "0" which is a value corresponding to the symbol normal processing (step 037SGS216).

Next, the operation of the effect control CPU 120 will be described. 11-13 and 11-14 are flowcharts showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 10. 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 037SGS271). When the first variable display start command reception flag is on (step 037SGS271; Y), for example, the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning reception command buffer. The various command data and various flags stored in association with "" are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 037SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off in step 037SGS271 (step 037SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 037SGS273). When the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 037SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and when the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 037SGS273; Y). ), For example, 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 are set to the buffer number 1. It shifts to the upper side by the number (step 037SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

After executing step 037SGS272 or step 037SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 037SGS275).

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) and the variation pattern (step 037SGS276). 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 stopped symbol of the determined decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. do.

In the feature unit 037SG, 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, "7" as a stop symbol. ”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 or the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot C, it is used as a stop symbol. , A plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, combinations of decorative symbols such as "111", "333", "555", and "999"). 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 stop symbols. Determine the combination (big hit symbol). Further, if the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is a non-reach variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as stop symbols. Determine the combination of symbols (missing symbols). If the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the reach variation pattern, the left and right symbols are the same as the stop symbol, but the middle symbol is medium. Determine the combination of reach misses (missing symbols) with different symbols.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining the stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating a combination of decorative symbols and a numerical value 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.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern designation command read in step 037SGS275 is the fluctuation pattern designation command of super reach γ or super reach δ (step 037SGS277). When the variation pattern specification command read in step 037SGS275 is other than the variation pattern specification command of super reach γ or super reach δ (step 037SGS277; N), the process table corresponding to the variation pattern is selected (step 037SGS278), and the process is selected. Start the timer (step 037SGS279).

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, etc. are sequentially arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). There is.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs an 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 037SGS280). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control 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 (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

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 037SGS281). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 037SGS282). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and each time the predetermined time elapses, the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right to the VRAM, and the display control unit 123 writes to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, whereby variable display (variation) of the decorative pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 037SGS283).

In step 037SGS277, when the variation pattern specification command read in step 037SGS275 is the variation pattern specification command of super reach γ or super reach δ (step 037SGS 277; Y), the read variation pattern specification command is super reach. It is determined whether or not it is a γ fluctuation pattern specification command (step 037SGS291).

When the read variation pattern specification command is the variation pattern specification command of super reach γ (step 037SGS291; Y), for example, the variable display in the high base state (time reduction state including the probability change state) from the time reduction number notification command. The number of times is specified, and it is determined whether or not the variable display is the 100th variable display in the high base state (step 037SGS292). When the variable display is the 100th variable display in the high base state (step 037SGS292; Y), it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS293). When the variable display result is out of alignment (step 037SGS293; N), it is further determined whether or not the gaming state is a probable change state (step 037SGS294). When the gaming state is not the probable change state, that is, when the gaming state is the low probability high base state (step 037SGS294; N), it is the 100th variable display of the high base state and the fall notification according to the fluctuation pattern. Select the process table for use and proceed to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS295).

Further, when the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS293; Y) or when the gaming state is a probable change state (high probability high base state) (step 037SGS294; Y), the 100th variable display of the high base state. The process table for probabilistic continuation / jackpot notification according to the fluctuation pattern is selected and the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS296).

Further, in the process of step 037SGS292, when the variable display is not the 100th variable display in the high base state (the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state) (step 037SGS292; N), the effect is produced. The control CPU 120 determines and stores whether or not to execute the chance-up effect according to the variable display result (step 037SGS297).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-15 (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 70%, and the execution of the chance-up effect is 30. Determined at a rate of%. On the other hand, if the variable display result is out of alignment, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 100%. That is, the chance-up effect in the feature unit 037SG is an effect of notifying that the variable display result is a big hit by being executed during the variable display, but the present invention is not limited to this and is variable. By providing a case where the chan-up effect is executed even if the display result is out of alignment, it is suggested that the variable display result is a big hit by executing the chance-up effect during the variable display. May be good.

As shown in FIG. 11-17 (B), the chance-up effect in the feature unit 037SG is an effect that can be executed during the execution period of the reach effect of the super reach, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the chance-up effect may be feasible outside the execution period of the reach effect of the super reach.

Returning to FIG. 11-14, the effect control CPU 120 determines in step 037SGS298 whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS298). When the variable display result is out of alignment (step 037SGS298; N), the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state, and the fall notification process table is selected according to the fluctuation pattern and step 037SG279. Proceed to (step 037SGS299). Further, when the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS298; Y), it is determined whether or not the execution of the chance-up effect is further determined (step 037SGS300).

When it is decided to execute the chance-up effect (step 037SGS300; Y), the variable display is the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, and the probability change according to the execution of the chance-up effect and the fluctuation pattern. The process table for continuation / jackpot notification is selected and the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS301). When it is determined not to execute the chance-up effect (step 037SGS300; N), the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state, and the non-execution of the chance-up effect and the fluctuation pattern are determined. The process table for probabilistic fall notification is selected and the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS302).

Further, in the process of step 037SGS291, when the read variation pattern specification command is the variation pattern specification command of super reach δ (step 037SGS291; N), the effect control CPU 120 executes the resurrection suggestion effect according to the variable display result. The display character at the time is determined, and the determined character is stored (step 037SGS303).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-15 (B), when the variable display result is a big hit, the display character at the time of executing the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be character A at a rate of 30%, and 70%. Character B is determined at the ratio of. On the other hand, if the variable display result is out of order, that is, if the probabilistic fall is won, the display character at the time of executing the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be character A at a rate of 70%, and at a rate of 30%. Determined to be character B. That is, in the present feature unit 037SG, when the character B is displayed when the revival effect is executed, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit than when the character A is displayed when the revival effect is executed (the rate at which the probability change state does not fall). Is set high.

The revival effect in the feature unit 037SG is a big hit as a reach effect of the super reach δ after the probability change fall is once notified as the reach effect of the super reach γ (the variable display result is a big hit). By doing so, it is controlled to the probable change state again after the big hit game is over).

The effect control CPU 120 also determines and stores a lighting target lamp at the time of executing the revival suggestion effect according to the variable display result (step 037SGS304). For example, as shown in FIG. 11-15 (C), when the variable display result is a big hit, the lighting target lamp at the time of executing the revival suggestion effect is the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp at a rate of 30%. Only the body lamp 9f and the third decorative lamp 9g are determined, and the first decorative lamp 9e, the second decorative lamp 9f, the third decorative lamp 9g and the movable body lamp 9d are determined at a rate of 70%. On the other hand, if the variable display result is out of order, that is, if the probable change fall is won, the lamp to be lit at the time of executing the revival suggestion effect is set to the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp at a rate of 70%. Only the body lamp 9f and the third decorative lamp 9g are determined, and the first decorative lamp 9e, the second decorative lamp 9f, the third decorative lamp 9g and the movable body lamp 9d are determined at a rate of 30%.

That is, as a revival effect in the feature unit 037SG, the first decorative lamp 9e, the second decorative lamp 9f, and the third decorative lamp 9g are lit, and the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp 9e are lit. By turning on the movable body lamp 9d in addition to the 9f and the third decorative body lamp 9g, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit is higher than when the movable body lamp 9d is not turned on.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines and stores the emission color at the time of executing the second emission effect according to the variable display result. As shown in FIGS. 11-20 and 11-39, the second light emission effect is to display the light emission effect image 037SG005E on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the resurrection suggestion effect, and display the light emission effect image 037SG005E. It is an effect that suggests that the variable display result is a big hit depending on the color.

As shown in FIG. 11-15 (D), when the variable display result is a big hit, the emission color of the second emission effect is determined to be white at a rate of 10% and red at a rate of 90%. If the variable display result is out of alignment, the emission color of the second emission effect is determined to be white at a rate of 90% and red at a rate of 10%. That is, in the present feature unit 037SG, when the emission color of the second emission effect (display color of the emission effect image 037SG005E) is red, the emission color of the second emission effect (display color of the emission effect image 037SG005E) is white. The rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit is set higher than in the case of.

Returning to FIG. 11-14, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS306). If the variable display result is out of alignment (step 037SGS306; N), select the variation pattern, the display character determined in steps 037SGS303 to 037SGS306, the lighting target lamp, and the process table for probable change fall notification according to the emission color. The process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS307). When the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS306; Y), a process table for probable change fall notification according to the fluctuation pattern, the display character determined in steps 037SGS303 to 037SGS306, the lighting target lamp, and the emission color is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS308).

When the process of step 037SGS291 to step 037SGS308 shown in FIG. 11-14 is executed to proceed to the process of step 037SGS279, the process of step 037SGS279 to step 037SGS283 shown in FIG. 11-13 is executed to perform the variable display start setting process. You just have to finish. The effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the process timer by -1 each time the effect process is executed during variable display, and controls the effect device according to the contents of the process data according to the value of the process timer. Just do it.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-16 (A) and 11-16 (B), the display control unit 123 in the feature unit 037SG draws an image on a plurality of layers, and draws the drawn layers of these images. An image to be displayed on the image display device 5 is created by synthesizing. For example, the layers on which the display control unit 123 draws an image include layer 1, layer 2 which is a lower layer than layer 1, layer 3 which is a lower layer than layer 2, and layer 4 which is a lower layer than layer 3. , Layer 5, which is a lower layer than layer 4, is provided.

Of these plurality of layers, a hold storage number display, a hold display, a small symbol, etc. are drawn on the layer 1, and a light emission effect image displayed at the time of the first light emission effect or the second light emission effect described later is drawn on the layer 2. 037SG005E is drawn, a decorative pattern is drawn on the layer 3, an effect image excluding the decorative pattern is drawn on the layer 4, and a background image is drawn on the layer 5. That is, in the image display device 5 in the feature unit 037SG, the image of the game-related information (the image of the game-related information) such as the hold storage number display, the hold display, and the small symbol is set as the image to be displayed with the highest priority. In addition, the light emitting effect image 037SG005E makes it possible to conceal decorative patterns, other effect images, and background images.

Next, FIG. 11 shows the reach effect of the super reach γ (probability change suggestion effect) and the reach effect of the super reach δ (revival suggestion effect) that can be executed in the high base state (probability change state or time saving state) in the feature unit 037SG. This will be described with reference to -17 and FIG. 11-20.

First, as shown in FIG. 11-17 (A), the reach effect of the super reach γ (probability change fall suggestion effect) executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state is started from the start timing of the reach effect. The first stage effect A, the middle stage effect A started from the end of the first stage effect A, the second stage effect started from the end of the middle stage effect A, and the fall suggestion result started from the end of the second stage effect. It includes a notification effect and. From the end of the reach effect of the super reach γ to the stop timing of the variable display, the variable display result is displayed on the image display device 5.

Further, the pre-stage effect A includes a title display effect for displaying the title of the reach effect of the super reach γ in the display area of the image display device 5, and a display area of the image display device 5 from the end of the title display effect. Includes a total of three effects: an enemy character emphasis effect that highlights the enemy character, and an ally character emphasis effect that highlights the ally character in the display area of the image display device 5 from the end of the target character emphasis effect. I'm out.

Further, the middle stage effect A is a first middle stage effect, a second middle stage effect started from the end of the first middle stage effect, and a third middle stage effect started from the end of the second middle stage effect. Includes a total of 3 productions. The latter stage effect includes a first second stage effect, a second second stage effect started from the end of the first second stage effect, a third second stage effect started from the end of the second second stage effect, and the second stage effect. 3. The effect is started from the end of the latter stage effect, and includes a total of four effects including the first light emission effect for displaying the light emission effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5.

While the lamp data is used, the part of the lamp data for middle stage effect used is different.

Further, by using the lamp data for the post-stage effect and the lamp data for the fall suggestion result notification effect, the feature unit 037SG mainly covers the third post-stage effect period, the first light emission effect period, and the fall suggestion result notification effect period. The lamp 9a is lit with a luminance C1 or a luminance C2 (C2> C1) having a luminance higher than the luminance C1.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-24, when the variable display result is a big hit, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1 during the third subsequent stage effect period. Next, when the execution period of the third subsequent stage effect ends and the first light emission effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C2 after being turned off once. The white light emission at the luminance C2 is temporarily ended (turned off) immediately before the end of the first light emission effect period. Then, when the first light emission effect period ends and the fall suggestion result notification effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a emits rainbow-colored light at the brightness C2 from the start timing of the fall suggestion result notification effect period over a predetermined period. Do it. Then, after the predetermined period has elapsed, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1 until the end of the fall suggestion result notification effect period.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1 during the third subsequent stage effect period. Next, when the execution period of the third subsequent stage effect ends and the first light emission effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C2 after being turned off once. The white light emission at the luminance C2 is temporarily ended (turned off) immediately before the end of the first light emission effect period. Then, when the first light emission effect period ends and the fall suggestion result notification effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a has the brightness C1 from the start timing of the fall suggestion result notification effect period to the end of the fall suggestion result notification effect period. It emits white light.

Further, by using the lamp data for the post-stage effect and the lamp data for the fall suggestion result notification effect, the feature unit 037SG mainly covers the third post-stage effect period, the first light emission effect period, and the fall suggestion result notification effect period. The lamp 9a is lit with a luminance C1 or a luminance C2 (C2> C1) having a luminance higher than the luminance C1.

Next, the light emitting modes of the main lamp 9a, the first decorative lamp 9e, the second decorative lamp 9f, and the third decorative lamp 9g in the operation promotion effect period, the second light emission effect period, and the resurrection suggestion result notification effect period will be described. do. First, as shown in FIGS. 11-25, when the variable display result is a big hit, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1 during the operation promotion effect period. Next, when the operation promotion effect period ends and the second light emission effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a has the same color (white or white) as the light emission effect image 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5 with the luminance C2 after being turned off once. (Red) emits light. The light emission at the luminance C2 is temporarily terminated (turned off) immediately before the end of the second light emission effect period. Then, when the second light emission effect period ends and the revival suggestion result notification effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a repeatedly blinks white at the brightness C2 from the start timing to the end timing of the revival suggestion result notification effect period.

Further, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1 during the operation promotion effect period. Next, when the operation promotion effect period ends and the second light emission effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a has the same color (white or white) as the light emission effect image 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5 with the luminance C2 after being turned off once. (Red) emits light. The light emission at the luminance C2 is temporarily terminated (turned off) immediately before the end of the second light emission effect period. Then, when the second light emission effect period ends and the resurrection suggestion result notification effect period is reached, the main lamp 9a emits white light having a brightness C1 from the start timing of the resurrection suggestion result notification effect period to a predetermined period. Resurrection suggestion result Turns off until the end timing of the notification production period.

Further, during the operation promotion effect period, as shown in FIGS. 11-25, the first decorative body lamp 9e, the second decorative body lamp 9f, and the third decorative body lamp 9g correspond to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B. The blinking at the luminance C1 is repeatedly executed. Specifically, first, when the blinking of the first decorative lamp 9e is executed a predetermined number of times in response to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, the blinking of the second decorative lamp 9f is started. Then, when the blinking of the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp 9f is executed a predetermined number of times in response to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, the blinking of the third decorative lamp 9g is further started. That is, during the operation promotion effect period, as shown in FIGS. 11-26 (A) to 22-24 (C), the blinking of each decorative lamp is caused by the player's repeated pressing of the push button 31B. It is recognized by the player that the 037SG300 progresses from the outer edge side toward the central portion.

Further, when the movable body lamp 9d is determined to be the light emitting target lamp (see FIGS. 22-15), during the operation promotion effect period, the movable body lamp 9d has the brightness C1 in response to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B. Blinking is also repeated.

Next, the production modes of the reach effect of the super reach γ (fall suggestion effect) and the reach effect of the super reach δ (revival suggestion effect) in the feature unit 037SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-27 to 11-36.

First, in the reach effect of the super reach γ in the 100th variable display in the high base state, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (A), as a title display effect, the ally character is used in the display area of the image display device 5. An image of the enemy character facing each other and a message to the effect that the high base state (time saving state including the probability change state) ends when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character are displayed. At this time, the music A is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (B), by executing the enemy character enhancement effect, the image of the enemy character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. At this time, the music A is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits light in blue at the luminance C1. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (C), when the enemy character enhancement effect is completed, the image of the ally character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the ally character enhancement effect. At this time, the music A is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits red light at the luminance C1.

When these title display effects, enemy character emphasis effects, and ally character emphasis effects as the first stage effects are completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-27 (D), 11-28 (E), and 11-28 (F), The middle stage effect in which the ally character and the enemy character play against each other is executed. As the middle stage effect, for example, the enemy character advances the battle predominantly against the ally character (first middle stage effect shown in FIGS. 11-27 (D)), and the enemy character chases the ally character (FIG. 11). The effect that the ally character is disadvantageous, such as the second middle stage effect shown in −28 (E)) and the attack of the enemy character hitting the ally character (third middle stage effect shown in FIG. 11-28 (F)), that is, the ally character An effect suggesting that the enemy character is defeated (the high base state ends) is executed. During the execution of the middle stage effect, the middle stage effect music is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

After the end of the middle stage effect, the second stage effect is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character is continued. As the latter stage effect, for example, the ally character advances the battle predominantly against the enemy character (first second stage effect shown in FIG. 11-28 (G)), and the ally character avoids the attack of the enemy character (. The effect that the ally character is advantageous, such as the second latter stage effect shown in FIG. 11-28 (H) and the attack of the ally character hitting the enemy character (third second stage effect shown in FIG. 11-29 (I)), that is, the ally. An effect suggesting that the character wins (the high base state continues without probable change or the variable display result becomes a big hit) is executed. During the execution of the latter stage effect, the speaker 8L and 8R output the music for the latter stage effect at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-29 (J) and 11-29 (K), from the final stage of the third subsequent stage effect, the ally character and the enemy character attack each other in the display area of the image display device 5. The previous image is displayed. Then, when the first light emission effect is started, the light emission effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the ally character and the enemy character that have been displayed until immediately before are temporarily displayed. It becomes invisible to the player. During the execution of the first light emitting effect, the speakers 8L and 8R output the music for the subsequent stage effect at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a is once turned off and then emitted in white with the luminance C2 (the main lamp 9a is turned off once). See Figure 11-24).

After the end of the first light emission effect, the fall suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the variable display result and whether or not the fall lottery is won. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 (L) and 11-30 (M), when the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is off and the fall lottery is not won, the image display device. In the display area of 5, after the image in which the ally character defeats the enemy character is displayed, the image notifying that the variable display result is a big hit or the high base state (time saving state including the probability change state) continues is displayed. .. During the execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the variable display result is continuously displayed as a big hit or a high base state (time saving state including the probability change state) at the volume V2 (V2> V1) from the speakers 8L and 8R. The continuous notification music corresponding to the above is output, and the main lamp 9a emits light in rainbow color at luminance C2 and then in white at luminance C1.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 (N) and 11-30 (O), when the variable display result is off and the fall lottery is won, the ally character in the display area of the image display device 5 After the image of being defeated (defeated) by the enemy character is displayed, an image notifying that the game state is controlled to the normal state by winning the fall lottery is displayed. In addition, during the execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the fall notification music corresponding to the fact that the game state is controlled to the normal state by winning the fall lottery at the volume V1 from the speakers 8L and 8R. The output is output, and the main lamp 9a emits light in white with a luminance C1.

In the reach effect of the super reach γ in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (A) and 11-31 (B), an image is used as the first additional effect. An image in which the enemy character appears in the display area of the display device 5 and an image immediately before the ally character and the enemy character attack each other are displayed. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

When the first additional effect is completed, as shown in FIG. 11-31 (C), as a title display effect, an image in which the ally character and the enemy character face each other in the display area of the image display device 5 and the ally character are the enemy characters. A message is displayed to the effect that the high base state (time saving state including the probability change state) will end by defeating. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (D), by executing the enemy character enhancement effect, the image of the enemy character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits light in blue at the luminance C1. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-32 (E), when the enemy character enhancement effect is completed, the image of the ally character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the ally character enhancement effect. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits red light at the luminance C1.

When the ally character emphasis effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-32 (F) and 11-32 (G), as a second addition effect, the ally character and the enemy character mutually in the display area of the image display device 5. After the image immediately before the attack is displayed, a message (character "FIGHT!" In FIG. 11-32 (G)) indicating that the battle between the ally character and the enemy character will start is displayed in duplicate with the image. Will be done. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

When the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, the ally character emphasis effect, and the second additional effect as the first stage effect are completed, the third additional effect is executed. As the third additional effect, as shown in FIG. 11-33 (H), in the display area of the image display device 5, an image in which the ally character and the enemy character face each other and are deepened a plurality of times in the left-right direction is displayed. .. At this time, if it is determined not to execute the chance-up effect, the image of the ally character disappears from the display area of the image display device 5 and the image of the enemy character is replaced, as shown in FIG. 11-33 (I). The display of only suggests that the ally character is defeated (the high base state ends). On the other hand, when it is decided to execute the chance-up effect, the image of the enemy character disappears from the display area of the image display device 5 and only the image of the ally character is replaced, as shown in FIG. 11-33 (J). Is displayed and the ally character wins (the variable display result is a big hit, or the variable display result is off but the fall lottery is not won, so the high base state (time saving state including the probability change state) continues. That) is suggested. During the execution of the third additional effect, the middle stage effect music is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

When the third additional effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-33 (K), 11-34 (L), and 11-34 (M), the middle stage effect in which the ally character and the enemy character play against each other is executed. .. As the middle stage effect, for example, the enemy character advances the battle predominantly against the ally character (first middle stage effect shown in FIG. 11-33 (K)), and the enemy character chases the ally character (FIG. 11). The effect that the ally character is disadvantageous, such as the second middle stage effect shown in −34 (L)) and the attack of the enemy character hitting the ally character (third middle stage effect shown in FIG. 11-34 (M)), that is, the ally character An effect suggesting that the enemy character is defeated (the high base state ends) is executed. During the execution of the middle stage effect, the middle stage effect music is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

After the end of the middle stage effect, the second stage effect is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character is continued. As the latter stage effect, for example, the ally character advances the battle predominantly against the enemy character (first second stage effect shown in FIG. 11-34 (N)), and the ally character avoids the attack of the enemy character (. The effect that the ally character is advantageous, such as the second latter stage effect shown in FIG. 11-34 (O) and the attack of the ally character hitting the enemy character (third second stage effect shown in FIG. 11-35 (P)), that is, the ally. An effect suggesting that the character wins (the high base state continues without probable change or the variable display result becomes a big hit) is executed. During the execution of the latter stage effect, the speaker 8L and 8R output the music for the latter stage effect at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-35 (P) and 11-35 (Q), from the final stage of the third subsequent stage effect, the ally character and the enemy character attack each other in the display area of the image display device 5. The previous image is displayed. Then, when the first light emission effect is started, the light emission effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the ally character and the enemy character that have been displayed until immediately before are temporarily displayed. It becomes invisible to the player. During the execution of the first light emitting effect, the speakers 8L and 8R output the music for the subsequent stage effect at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a is once turned off and then emitted in white with the luminance C2 (the main lamp 9a is turned off once). See Figure 11-24).

After the end of the first light emission effect, the fall suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the variable display result and whether or not the fall lottery is won. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (S) and 11-36 (T), when the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is off and the fall lottery is not won, the image display device. In the display area of 5, after the image in which the ally character defeats the enemy character is displayed, the image notifying that the variable display result is a big hit or the high base state (time saving state including the probability change state) continues is displayed. .. During the execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the variable display result is continuously displayed as a big hit or a high base state (time saving state including the probability change state) at the volume V2 (V2> V1) from the speakers 8L and 8R. The continuous notification music corresponding to the above is output, and the main lamp 9a emits light in rainbow color at luminance C2 and then in white at luminance C1.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (U) and 11-36 (V), when the variable display result is off and the fall lottery is won, the ally character in the display area of the image display device 5. After the image of being defeated (defeated) by the enemy character is displayed, an image notifying that the game state is controlled to the normal state by winning the fall lottery is displayed. In addition, during the execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the fall notification music corresponding to the game state being controlled to the normal state by winning the fall lottery at the volume V1 from the speakers 8L and 8R. The output is output, and the main lamp 9a emits light in white with a luminance C1.

In addition, in this feature unit 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5, the hold display corresponding to the variable display that has not been executed yet and the variable display that is being executed correspond to the variable display. Although the form of displaying the hold display is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and the hold display is displayed in any of the display modes. It may be possible to execute the hold display notice effect in which the ratio of the variable display result to the big hit is different in the variable display according to the hold display.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, the hold display is displayed at the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5, and the active display corresponding to the variable display during execution is displayed. Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the active display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and the active display is being executed depending on which display mode the active display is displayed. It may be possible to execute an active display notice effect in which the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit is different in the variable display.

Further, as the hold display notice effect and the active display notice effect, the display mode of the hold display and the active display may be changed at the start and end of the variable display and during the execution of the variable display. By doing so, it is possible to draw attention to the player at which timing the display mode of the hold display or the active display changes.

Further, in the case where the above-mentioned hold display notice effect and active display notice effect can be executed in the feature unit 037SG, the reach effect of the super reach γ is being executed (variable display after the 100th or 101st time in the high base state). When the active display notice effect is executed during the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ executed in, and it is suggested that the variable display result becomes a big hit, the high base state is restored again after the big hit game is completed. Since there is a risk that the control will be recognized by the player in advance, the hold display notice effect and the active display notice effect are executed (display mode of the hold display and active display) while the reach effect of the super reach γ is being executed. The change) may be restricted, or the display of the hold display or the active display itself may be restricted.

Further, as the reach effect of the super reach γ of the feature unit 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 (M), 11-30 (O), 11-36 (T), and 11-36 (V). In addition, after notifying the fall suggestion result, the notified fall suggestion result (the variable display result is a big hit, the variable display result is out of order but the high base state continues, and the variable display result is out of order and high). Although the embodiment in which the main lap 9a emits light in white regardless of the termination of the base state) is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main rap 9a after notifying the fall suggestion result is notified. Light is emitted in different modes depending on the fall suggestion result (for example, when it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is out of order but the high base state continues, FIG. 11-30 is shown. Continuing from (L) and FIGS. 11-36 (S), when the main rap 9a is made to emit light in rainbow colors, when the variable display result is out of order and it is notified that the high base state ends, the main rap 9a is set. It may be made to emit light in white or blue).

Further, as a reach effect of the super reach γ, a plurality of light emitting modes of the main rap 9a are provided when the variable display result is out of order and the high base state is notified to end, and the main lamp 9a emits light in any of the light emitting modes. The ratio of the reach effect of the super reach δ (recovery suggestion effect) may be different depending on whether or not the reach effect of the super reach γ is completed. By doing so, even if it is notified that the variable display result is out of order and the high base state ends as the reach effect of the super reach γ, the player pays attention to the light emitting mode of the main lamp 9a. It is possible to maintain the expectation that the reach effect of the super reach δ will be executed.

Further, as the reach effect (revival suggestion effect) of the super reach δ, as shown in FIG. 11-37 (A), as an operation promotion effect, the entire display area of the image display device 5 is closed. Along with displaying the shutter image 037SG005S, an operation promotion image urging the player to repeatedly press the push button 31B is displayed in the left portion of the display area.

Here, when the character to be displayed at the time of executing the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be the character A (see FIG. 11-15 (B)), when the player starts repeatedly hitting the push button 31B, FIG. 11-37 (see FIG. 11-15 (B)). B) -As shown in FIGS. 11-37 (C), the closed shutter image 037SG005S is gradually released. At the same time, the image of the character A is gradually visible to the player from between these shutter images. That is, the operation promotion effect is also an effect in which the display area of the image of the character A in the display area of the image display device 5 is gradually expanded by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B. Further, during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B to blink the first decorative body lamp 9e, the second decorative body lamp 9f, and the third decorative body lamp 9g in the decorative body 037SG300. , The blinking of the movable body lamp 9d (only when it is determined to be lit) is also executed (see FIGS. 11-25 and 11-26).

Then, when the shutter image 037SG005S is released to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promotion effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-37 (D) and 11-37 (E), the second shutter image 037SG005S is released. As a light emitting effect, a white or red light emitting effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. During the execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 037SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily invisible to the player due to the light emission effect image 037SG005E.

When the second light emission effect is completed, the resurrection suggestion result notification effect is then executed. In the revival suggestion result notification effect, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (F) and 11-38 (G), in the display area of the image display device 5, the shutter of the same embodiment as immediately before the execution of the second light emission effect is performed. Images of image 037SG005S and character A are displayed as still images. Then, the shutter image 037SG005S is slightly released from the state shown in FIG. 11-38 (F).

At this time, if the variable display result is a big hit, the shutter image 037SG005S is completely released (the shutter image 037SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), so that the image display device becomes invisible. The image of the character A is displayed over the entire display area of 5, and the variable display result is a big hit even though it is notified that the high base state ends once in the reach effect of the super reach γ. It is notified that the high base state (probability change state) is controlled again after the big hit game is completed.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is out of alignment (and the fall lottery is won), as shown in FIG. 11-38 (I), the shutter image is taken from the state shown in FIG. 11-38 (G). When the 037SG005S is closed (the image of the character A becomes invisible to the player in the display area of the image display device 5 by the shutter image 037SG005S), it is notified that the high base state ends.

Further, when the character to be displayed at the time of executing the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be the character B (see FIG. 11-15 (B)), when the player starts repeatedly hitting the push button 31B, FIG. 11-39 (A). ) ~ As shown in FIG. 11-39 (C), the closed shutter image 037SG005S is gradually released. At the same time, the image of the character B is gradually visible to the player from between these shutter images. That is, the operation promotion effect is also an effect in which the display area of the image of the character B in the display area of the image display device 5 is gradually expanded by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B. Further, during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B to blink the first decorative body lamp 9e, the second decorative body lamp 9f, and the third decorative body lamp 9g in the decorative body 037SG300. , The blinking of the movable body lamp 9d (only when it is determined to be lit) is also executed (see FIGS. 11-25 and 11-26).

Then, when the shutter image 037SG005S is released to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promotion effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-39 (D) and 11-39 (E), the second shutter image 037SG005S is released. As a light emitting effect, a white or red light emitting effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. During the execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 037SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily invisible to the player due to the light emission effect image 037SG005E.

When the second light emission effect is completed, the resurrection suggestion result notification effect is then executed. In the revival suggestion result notification effect, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-40 (F) and 11-40 (G), in the display area of the image display device 5, the shutter of the same embodiment as immediately before the execution of the second light emission effect is performed. Images of image 037SG005S and character B are displayed as still images. Then, the shutter image 037SG005S is slightly released from the state shown in FIG. 11-40 (F).

At this time, if the variable display result is a big hit, the shutter image 037SG005S is completely released (the shutter image 037SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), so that the image display device becomes invisible. The image of the character B is displayed over the entire display area of 5, and the variable display result is a big hit even though it is notified that the high base state ends once in the reach effect of the super reach γ. It is notified that the high base state (probability change state) is controlled again after the big hit game is completed.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is out of alignment (and the fall lottery is won), as shown in FIG. 11-40 (I), the shutter image is taken from the state shown in FIG. 11-40 (G). When the 037SG005S is closed (the image of the character B becomes invisible to the player in the display area of the image display device 5 by the shutter image 037SG005S), it is notified that the high base state ends.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 037SG, when the gaming state is the high base state, the fall lottery is executed every time the variable display is executed. If the fall lottery is won by the 99th variable display in the high base state, the probability change control is executed until the variable display won by the fall lottery, while the time reduction control continues until the 100th variable display. However, if the fall lottery is won in the variable display after the 100th time, the probability change control and the time saving control are ended at the end of the variable display won in the fall lottery, that is, the game state is changed to the normal state. It is supposed to work.

Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 having such playability, by executing the 100th variable display in the high base state with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ, the fall lottery is won by the 100th variable display. In addition to executing the reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of the super reach γ that suggests that it has been done (see FIG. 11-17 (A)), the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ is used in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. By executing this, it is possible to execute the reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of the super reach γ, which suggests that the fall lottery was won at the start of the variable display (see FIG. 11-17 (B)).

Further, when the reach effect of the super reach γ is executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, either the pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach γ includes the chance up effect or the pattern in which the chance up effect is not included. Since it is executed by, the reach effect of the super reach γ is executed not only in the 100th variable display in the high base state but also in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, and the reach of the super reach γ is executed. Since the production is executed in a pattern according to the situation of the game, the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A) and 11-17 (B), in the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the 100th time in the high base state. Compared with the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the variable display of, the first additional effect is additionally executed as the front stage effect, and the third additional effect is additionally executed as the middle stage effect. In particular, since the first additional effect is executed as the opening effect of the previous stage effect and the third additional effect is executed as the opening effect of the middle stage effect, the player can perform these first additional effect and the third additional effect. By recognizing that the additional effect is executed, it is possible to recognize that the chance-up effect may be executed during the reach effect of the super reach γ.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A) and 11-17 (B), the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the 101st and subsequent times in the high base state are performed. The reach effects of super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display include title display effect, enemy character emphasis effect, ally character emphasis effect, first middle stage effect, second middle stage effect, third middle stage effect, first second stage effect, and first. The second-stage effect, the third-stage effect, the first light emission effect, and the fall suggestion result notification effect are commonly executed. In particular, in the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the base state and the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the fall suggestion result notification effect Is executed in common, so that the fall suggestion result is notified in a common production mode, so that the player can easily recognize the fall suggestion result.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (B), 11-29 (J), and 11-35 (J), a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the first additional effect. Is executed in common between the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. Since the image is common to a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third subsequent effect, the cost required for image production of the first additional effect can be reduced.

In the feature unit 037SG, as the first additional effect, a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 is combined with the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. It is common with a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third subsequent stage effect that is commonly executed in the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. Although the form of the image is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third additional effect is the 100th time in the high base state. The image display device as the third post-stage effect that is commonly executed in the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the variable display of and the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. It may be an image common to a part of the image displayed in the display area of 5.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A) and 11-17 (B), as the reach effect of each super reach γ, the middle stage effect is executed after the first stage effect is executed, and the latter stage effect is performed after the middle stage effect is executed. In the reach effect of Super Reach γ, which is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect are performed as the first stage effect. In the reach effect of Super Reach γ, which can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the first additional effect, title display effect, enemy character emphasis effect, and ally A total of five effects, including the character emphasis effect and the second additional effect, are executed over the effect period L4. The effect period L3 of the subsequent effect is set longer than the sum of the effect period L41 of the first additional effect and the second additional effect L42 (L3> L41 + L42). Therefore, for the common effect unit in which the effect image common to the first additional effect and the second additional effect is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, the effect period L3 of the subsequent effect is the effect of the first additional effect. By setting the period L41 longer than the sum of the second additional effect L42, it is possible to prevent the player from giving the impression that the first additional effect and the second additional effect are a common effect unit. Because it can be done, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-18 and 11-19, the sum of the effect period of the first non-common effect unit and the effect period of the second non-common effect is set longer than the effect period of the common effect. By (L411 + L413> L12), it is possible to prevent the common effect unit from being conspicuous because the effect image of the common effect unit is displayed in both the first additional effect and the second additional effect.

Further, the effect period L4 of the previous stage effect in the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state is the reach of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. Since the effect period L1 of the previous stage effect in the effect is set longer, the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect is in the high base state. Displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in common with the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display and the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. It is possible to prevent the image to be conspicuous.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-22, the title display effect, the enemy character display effect, the ally character display effect, and the high base state in the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. The image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 is common to the title display effect, the enemy character display effect, and the ally character display effect in the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the above. On the other hand, since the music output from the speaker is different, the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect is in the high base state. Displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in common with the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display and the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. It is possible to more surely prevent the image to be conspicuous.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, 11-28, and 11-29, in the latter stage effect, the first latter stage effect and the ally character in which the image in which the ally character advances the battle predominantly against the enemy character is displayed. Includes a second second stage effect in which an image is displayed to avoid the attack of the enemy character, and a third second stage effect in which an image in which the attack of the ally character hits the enemy character is displayed. 1 The effect period of the latter stage effect is set to be longer than the effect period L21 and longer than the effect period L23 of the third stage effect. That is, in the first-stage effect, the second-stage effect, and the third-stage effect, the period during which the image is displayed becomes longer as the effect is closer to the end timing of the entire second-stage effect. It is possible to give a change to the image displayed in the production and the third post-stage production, and it is possible to raise the attention of the player.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-21 and 11-23, the pre-stage effect (pre-stage effect A) in the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high-base state and 101 in the high-base state. In the pre-stage effect (pre-stage effect B) in the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display after the first time, the common pre-stage effect lamp data is used to light the game effect lamp 9, but the pre-stage effect The portion of the lamp data for the pre-stage common effect used to light the game effect lamp 9 is different between A and the pre-stage effect B. For this reason, the pre-stage effect A and the pre-stage effect B share the lamp data for lighting the game effect lamp 9, and as the pre-stage effect A, each effect image of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect. Is displayed, and when each effect image of the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect is displayed as the previous stage effect B, the light emission mode of the game effect lamp 9 is different. This is a waste of storage capacity because the lamp data when the ittle display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect are executed is duplicated and stored in the ROM 121 while enhancing the effect of the previous stage effect. Can also be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-31, and 11-33, the reach effect of the super reach γ in the feature unit 037SG is that the enemy character and the ally character fight and the enemy character wins. It is an effect that the end of the high base state is notified, and that the high base state continues or the variable display result is a big hit when the ally character wins. That is, the enemy character displayed during the execution of the reach effect of the super reach γ is a character suggesting that the high base state ends, and the ally character displayed during the execution of the reach effect of the super reach γ is a character. It is a character that suggests that the high base state continues or the variable display result is a big hit. Then, the pre-stage effect A and the pre-stage effect B execute the enemy character enhancement effect that enlarges and displays the image of the enemy character in the display area of the image display device 5, and then executes the ally character emphasis effect that enlarges and displays the image of the ally character. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation for the player that the high base state continues and that the variable display result becomes a big hit.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-30, 11-31, 11-33, and 11-36, when the enemy character emphasis effect is executed as the front stage effect A or the front stage effect B. The main lamp 9a emits light in blue, and when the ally character emphasis effect is executed, the main lamp 9a emits light in red. Then, when the first light emission effect is executed, the main lamp 9a emits light in white, so that a game is played with respect to whether or not the high base state continues and whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit. It is possible to draw people's attention and improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-24, when the main lamp 9a emits light in white as the first light emission effect, the fall suggestion result notification effect is executed after the main lamp 9a is turned off, that is, the main. After the lamp 9a is turned off, the effect image of the fall suggestion result notification effect (the image in which the enemy character defeats the ally character or the image in which the ally character defeats the enemy character) is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, so that the main image is displayed. Since one of these fall suggestion result notification effect images is displayed at a timing when the player's attention is likely to increase to the effect image of the fall suggestion result notification effect by turning off the lamp 9a, the fall suggestion result notification effect effect is produced. It is possible to suitably improve the effect of producing by displaying an image.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, in the pre-stage effect B, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect are performed between the effect image of the first additional effect and the effect image of the second additional effect. The effect image (effect image of the pre-stage effect A) is displayed, and the effect period L1 of the pre-stage effect A is set longer than the effect period L41 of the first additional effect (L1> L41). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from giving the impression that the common video unit is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as both the first additional effect and the second additional effect. You can improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-28, 11-33, and 11-34, in the middle stage effect, the enemy character advances the battle predominantly against the ally character, and the enemy character is the ally character. By displaying a production image that is disadvantageous to the ally character, such as chasing after the enemy character and hitting the ally character with the attack of the enemy character, it is possible to give a sense of urgency to the reach production (fall suggestion production) of the super reach γ. You can improve the fun of playing games.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, 11-27, 11-28, 11-33, and 11-34, in the middle stage production, an image in which the enemy character predominantly fights against the ally character is displayed. It includes the first middle stage effect to be displayed, the second middle stage effect to display the image of the enemy character chasing the ally character, and the third middle stage effect to display the image of the enemy character's attack hitting the ally character. The effect period L12 of the effect is set to be longer than the effect period L11 of the first middle stage effect and longer than the effect period L13 of the third middle stage effect. That is, in the first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, and the third middle stage effect, the period in which the image is displayed becomes longer as the effect is closer to the end timing of the entire middle stage effect. It is possible to give a change to the image displayed in the production and the third middle stage production, and it is possible to raise the attention of the player.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 037SG can execute the variable display even in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. In the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ, the reach effect of the super reach γ (fall suggestion effect) is executed in the same manner as the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ, and the fall suggestion result notification in the reach effect of the super reach γ is notified. After the end of the high base state is once notified in the production, the revival suggestion production is executed as the reach production of the super reach δ.

As shown in FIG. 11-20, as the reach effect (revival suggestion effect) of the super reach δ, the operation is performed when the variable display result is a big hit and when the variable display result is out of order and the fall lottery is won. While the promotion effect and the second light emission effect are executed in a common manner, the effect mode of the revival suggestion result notification effect executed after these operation promotion effects and the second light emission effect is variably displayed. It is different depending on the result. The second light emitting effect is an effect of displaying the white or red light emitting effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5, and is the effect period L32 of the second light emitting effect, that is, the light emitting effect in the image display device 5. The period during which the image 037SG005E is displayed is set shorter than the execution period L33 of the revival suggestion result notification effect when the variable display result is a big hit and the revival suggestion result notification effect when the variable display result is out of order. Further, as shown in FIG. 11-15 (D), the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit differs depending on the display color of the light emission effect image 037SG005E displayed in the second light emission effect, that is, the image display device 5. The ratio of displaying an image indicating that the variable display result is a big hit is different in the display area of the revival suggestion result notification effect.

Therefore, regardless of whether the variable display result is out of the jackpot (and the fall lottery is won) as the effect result of the reach effect of the super reach δ, the image display device is used during the effect period of the second light emission effect. By displaying the light emitting effect image 037SG005E in the display area of 5, the player's expectation that the variable display result is a big hit can be maintained, so that the game entertainment can be improved. Further, by displaying the light emission effect image 037SG005E in white or red as the second light emission effect, an image indicating that the variable display result is a big hit is displayed as the effect image of the resurrection suggestion result notification effect. Since the player can be noticed, the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, the main lamp 9a can be displayed in a plurality of colors (modes) such as white, red, and rainbow colors. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-25, the main lamp 9a emits white light at the luminance C1 during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, while the main lamp 9a emits light at the luminance C1 during the execution period of the second emission effect. Since the light emission effect image 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5 is emitted in the same color (white or red) at the brightness C2, which is higher than the luminance C2, the main lamp 9a is simply turned on during the execution period of the second emission effect. Compared with the case of emitting light, the effect of the second light emission effect can be improved by enhancing the effect on the display of the light emission effect image 037SG005E, and further, the main lamp 9a during the execution period of the operation promotion effect can be improved. It is also possible to prevent a decrease in the effect of the light emission effect image 037SG005E due to the brightness of the lamp being higher than the brightness of the main lamp 9a during the execution period of the second light emission effect.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (F) and 11-40 (F), in the reach effect (recovery suggestion effect) of the super reach δ, the second light emission effect is followed by the second light emission effect in the display area of the image display device 5. 2 Since the shutter image 037SG005S and the image of the character A or the character B having the same aspect as immediately before the execution of the light emission effect are displayed as still images, the image of the character A or the character B becomes an image when the shutter image 037SG005S is completely opened. Since it is possible to increase the tension of being displayed in the entire display area of the display device 5, it is possible to improve the effect of the reach effect of the super reach δ.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-26, the decorative body 037SG300 in the feature portion 037SG has a first decorative body lamp 9e and a second decorative body lamp 9f that are annular from the outer edge side to the central portion of the decorative body 037SG300. , A third decorative lamp 9 g is provided. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11-25 and 11-26, during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B to obtain the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp 9f. Since the third decorative lamp 9g starts blinking in this order, it corresponds to the gradual expansion of the display area of the image of the character A or the character B in the display area of the image display device 5 in the operation promotion effect. It is possible to perform an appropriate light emission effect, and it is possible to improve the effect of the operation promotion effect.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-15 (C) and 11-25, during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B to make the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp 9e. When the body lamp 9f and the third decorative lamp 9g are blinked, and when the movable body lamp 9d is blinked in addition to the first decorative lamp 9e, the second decorative lamp 9f and the third decorative lamp 9g. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the light emission (blinking) of these lamps from becoming monotonous during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, and the effect of the reach effect of the super reach δ is reduced. It is possible to prevent it from being lost.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-25, the main lamp 9a emits light at the luminance C1 over the entire execution period of the operation promotion effect, while it is higher than the luminance C1 in the execution period of the second emission effect. Since the light is emitted at the luminance C2, which is the luminance, it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit in the revival suggestion result notification effect after the second light emission effect (the effect image for the variable display result being a big hit is displayed. It is possible to raise the expectation for the game and improve the entertainment of the game.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-15 (D), 11-37, and 11-39, a white or red light emission effect image 037SG005E can be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the second light emission effect. It has become. In particular, when the variable display result is out of alignment in the resurrection suggestion result notification effect executed after the second light emission effect and the effect image corresponding to the winning of the fall lottery is displayed, white light emission is performed as the second light emission effect. When the effect image 037SG005E is displayed and the effect image corresponding to the variable display result being a big hit is displayed in the resurrection suggestion result notification effect executed after the second light emission effect, the red light emission effect is displayed as the second light emission effect. By displaying the image 037SG005E, it is possible to prevent the reach effect of the super reach δ from becoming monotonous, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game entertainment.

In the first light emission effect and the second light emission effect of the feature unit 037SG, by displaying the light emission effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5, all the other images displayed in the display area are played. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. By displaying, only a part of other images displayed in the display area may be temporarily invisible to the player.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (G) and 11-40 (G), FIGS. 11-38 (F) and 11-40 (F) show during the execution period of the resurrection suggestion result notification effect. The shutter image 037SG005S is slightly released from the state shown (a state in which the shutter image 037SG005S and the image of the character A in the same embodiment as immediately before the execution of the second light emission effect are displayed as still images in the display area of the image display device 5). After a slight opening of the shutter image 037SG005S, the opening of the shutter image 037SG005S is completed as an image notifying that the variable display result is a big hit, and the entire display area of the image display device 5 is displayed. The shutter image 037SG005S is closed in the display area of the image display device 5 as an image for notifying that the image of the character A or the character B is displayed or the variable display result is out of order, and the image of the character A or the character B is displayed. It will be terminated. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (G) and 11-40 (G), the shutter image 037SG005S is used as an image for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit by slightly opening the shutter image 037SG005S. It is possible to raise the expectation of the player that the image of the character A or the character B is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5 after the opening of the image display device 5 is completed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

Further, in the case of notifying that the variable display result is out of alignment and the fall lottery is won as the revival suggestion result notification effect, the shutter image 037SG005S in the process of opening is closed as shown in FIGS. 11-38 and 11-40. By doing so, the display area of the images of the characters A and B is narrowed, and finally the images of the characters A and B are closed by the shutter image 037SG005S, which makes it invisible to the player. It is possible to easily make the player recognize that the variable display result is out of alignment due to the change in the display area of the images of the characters A and B due to the closure and that the fall lottery is won.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-25, when it is notified that the variable display result is out of order and the fall lottery is won as the resurrection suggestion result notification effect, the main lamp 9a executes the resurrection suggestion result notification effect. Since the light is emitted at the brightness C1 and then turned off during the period, the variable display result is out of order as a result of the reach effect (revival suggestion effect) of the super reach δ, and the player is not able to win the fall lottery. Pleasure can be suppressed.

Although examples of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these examples, and any changes or additions that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. Will be.

For example, in the feature unit 037SG, an example is exemplified in which the chance-up effect is an effect that can be executed by the third additional effect in the middle stage effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the modified example 037-. As 1, the chance-up effect may be an effect that can be executed by the first additional effect in addition to or instead of the third additional effect. Furthermore, when the variable display result is a big hit, even if the ratio of the chance-up effect executed in the first additional effect is set higher than the ratio of the chance-up effect executed in the third additional effect. good. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether the chance-up effect is executed by the first additional effect or the third additional effect, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

In the above modification 037SG-1, when the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of the chance-up effect being executed in the first additional effect is the ratio of the chance-up effect being executed in the third additional effect. Although the embodiment in which the setting is set higher than the above is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the fall lottery is not won, the chance of the chance up effect being executed in the first additional effect is increased. The effect may be set higher than the rate at which the effect is executed in the third additional effect. That is, the "advantageous degree" in the present invention is a concept including the ratio that the variable display result becomes a big hit and the fact that the fall lottery is not won in the variable display in the high base state.

Further, in the case of executing the fall suggestion result notification effect as the reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of the super reach γ in the feature unit 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 and 11-36, the fall suggestion result is involved. Although the embodiment in which both the ally character and the enemy character are displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 037SG-2, the super reach γ When executing the fall suggestion result notification effect as the reach effect (fall suggestion effect), only one of the ally character and the enemy character may be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. For example, if the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is out of order and the fall lottery is not won, only the ally character who defeated the enemy character in the display area of the image display device 5 as a fall suggestion result notification effect, or , Only the enemy character defeated by the ally character is displayed, and if the variable display result is out of order and the fall lottery is won, the ally character is defeated in the display area of the image display device 5 as a fall suggestion result notification effect. It is sufficient to display only the enemy character that has been killed, or only the Mitaka character that has been defeated by the enemy character. By doing so, the player is made to pay attention to whether the ally character or the enemy character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the fall suggestion result notification effect after the first light emission effect is executed. Because it can be done, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, an embodiment in which a variable display of a decorative pattern and other effects according to the variable display (reach effect of each super reach, etc.) can be executed has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, as the modified example 037SG-3, a plurality of effect modes having different display modes of the decorative pattern and other variable displays are provided, and the operation of the operating means such as the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A is provided. These production modes may be switchable. In particular, when it is possible to switch between a plurality of effect modes in this way, the reach of the super reach γ and the super reach δ can be reached by differently starting the start timings of the first additional effect and the third additional effect according to each effect mode. The reach of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state by making the production mode of the production different and the start timing of the first additional effect and the third additional effect different. You can improve the interest of the production.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, a mode in which a ally character and an enemy character are displayed as each effect image of the front stage effect A, the front stage effect B, the middle stage effect A, and the middle stage effect B is exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. As a modification 037SG-4, only the enemy character is displayed as the effect image of the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B, and only the ally character is displayed as the effect image of the middle stage effect A and the middle stage effect B. May be good. By doing so, the player is given the impression that the production images of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect are the effect images displayed in both the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B. Can be prevented more reliably.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, as a reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of the super reach γ, an effect in which the ally character and the enemy character fight is executed, and the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is obtained by the ally character winning the enemy character. The present invention exemplifies a form in which the high base state is notified that the high base state continues, and the variable display result is out of order and the high base state ends when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character. Not limited to this, as the reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of the super reach γ, it may be notified that the high base state continues by drawing the ally character and the enemy character.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 and 11-22, when the pre-stage effect A is executed, the title display effect and the enemy character emphasis effect are produced by using the video data for the pre-stage effect A. , The effect image of the ally character emphasis effect is displayed on the image display device 5, and when the pre-stage effect B is executed, the first additional effect video data is used in addition to the pre-stage effect A video data. In addition to the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect, the effect image of the first additional effect is displayed on the image display device 5. That is, in the feature unit 037SG, the common video data (video data of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, the ally character emphasis effect) and the pre-stage effect B of the image commonly displayed in the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B are used. The non-common video data (video data of the first additional effect) of the image to be displayed only is stored separately in the ROM 121, and when the previous stage effect A is executed, only the common image data is used in the image display device 5. When displaying the image and executing the previous stage effect B, the amount of data stored in the ROM 121 is reduced by displaying the image on the image display device 5 by using the non-common video data in addition to the common video data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the ROM 121 includes video data for the front stage effect B (a first additional effect which is non-common video data) among the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B. Only the video data and the common video data such as title display effect, enemy character emphasis effect, and ally character emphasis effect) are stored, and when the previous stage effect B is executed, all the video data for the previous stage effect B is stored. By using it, the image display device 5 displays the effect images of the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect, while when the pre-stage effect A is executed, it is for the pre-stage effect B. By using only the common video data among the video data, the image display device 5 may display the effect images of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the development cost of the overlapping production portion where the same production is executed in the pre-stage effect A and the pre-stage effect B.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, the image of the character A or the character B is displayed in the revival suggestion effect, and the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit depending on whether the image of the character A or the image of the character B is displayed is Although different forms have been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 037SG-7, the revival suggestion effect depends on whether the image of the character A or the image of the character B is displayed. The ratio controlled by the 10-round jackpot or the jackpot gaming state of the probability variation jackpot may be different.

Further, in the feature unit 037SG, the first light emission effect and the second light emission effect are executed during the execution of the reach effect, and the light emission effect image is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the first light emission effect and the second light emission effect. The present invention is not limited to this, although the embodiment in which the image displayed on the image display device 5 other than the light emission effect image is temporarily invisible to the player is illustrated. Even if the light emitting effect image is displayed from the timing before the reach during the variable display and the decorative pattern, the background image, etc. displayed on the image display device 5 are temporarily invisible to the player by displaying the light emitting effect image. good.

In particular, in the case where the light source effect image can be displayed from the timing before the reach during the variable display as described above, as a modification 037SG-8, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 to 11-48, like the sun. It is also possible to display a light emission effect image in which the decorative design becomes difficult to see because the single light source approaches from the back side to the front side of the decorative design.

As shown in FIGS. 11-47 to 11-48, when displaying a light emission effect image in which a single light source approaches from the back side to the front side of the decorative pattern, it is for display corresponding to each position of the single light source. If data (video data) is generated for each decorative pattern and stored in advance, the display data (video data) becomes enormous, and the load of creating display data becomes extremely large. Since the memory capacity for storing such a huge amount of display data becomes remarkably large, the principle diagram of FIGS. 11-41 to 11-46 is shown in order to prevent the creation load and the increase of the memory capacity. As described above, by simulating the positional relationship between the decorative pattern and the single light source in the virtual space of the display area of the image display device 5, the drawing function of the light emitting effect image showing the situation where the light emitted from the single light source is diffused (as described above). A high-performance display control unit 123 having a light source effect drawing function) may be used.

Here, the light emitting effect drawing function will be described based on the principle diagram of FIGS. 11-41 to 11-49. First, as shown in FIG. 11-41 (A), the display control unit 123 has a first decorative symbol drawing surface (virtual plane) on which the right decorative symbol 037SG105R and the left decorative symbol 037SG105L are drawn, and the center. The virtual space has a second decorative symbol drawing surface (virtual plane) on which the decorative symbol 037SG105C is drawn, and the drawing position of the decorative symbol is vertical on the first decorative symbol drawing surface or the second decorative symbol drawing surface. By sequentially changing downward in the direction (Y direction), a variable display image of the decorative pattern is drawn.

As for the first decorative symbol drawing surface and the second decorative symbol drawing surface, as shown in FIGS. 11-41 (A), the second decorative symbol drawing surface has a virtual depth Z0 rather than the first decorative symbol drawing surface. It is located forward by the virtual distance of. Therefore, if the central decorative symbol 037SG105C and the right decorative symbol 037SG105R or the left decorative symbol 037SG105L are displayed in duplicate, the central decorative symbol 037SG105C can visually recognize the right decorative symbol 037SG105R or the left decorative symbol 037SG105L. An image is generated that is blocked. Further, when a decorative symbol having the same size as the right decorative symbol 037SG105R and the left decorative symbol 037SG105L is drawn on the second decorative symbol drawing surface, only the central decorative symbol 037SG105C becomes larger and the three decorative symbols are aligned. However, in this modification 037SG-8, in order to prevent these unnatural displays from being displayed, the sizes of the three decorative patterns are made to be almost the same. , The size of the image of the central decorative symbol 037SG105C drawn on the second decorative symbol drawing surface is adjusted and drawn.

Therefore, the display control unit 123 can calculate the position of each decorative symbol in the virtual space from the first decorative symbol drawing surface or the second decorative symbol drawing surface and the drawing position of each decorative symbol on each of these drawing screens. ..

Therefore, when actually using the light emission effect drawing function, for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-41, by designating the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) of the single light source 037SG105K in the virtual space, the designated coordinates. The light emission effect image when the single light source 037SG105K is located at (X1, Y1, Z1) is automatically drawn and displayed by the display control unit 123 by simulation.

The X coordinate corresponds to the position in the left-right direction of the image display device 5, the Y coordinate corresponds to the position in the vertical direction of the image display device 5, and the Z direction corresponds to the front-back direction (depth direction) in the virtual space. Corresponds to the position (see FIGS. 11-41).

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-41 (A), in a state where three decorative symbols are arranged at the center position of the image display device 5, the central decorative symbol 037SG105C is used as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K. When the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) of the position directly behind the first decorative pattern drawing surface and Z1 away from the drawing surface are specified, the specified coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) in the virtual space are used. In the situation where the single light source is arranged, it is emitted from the single light source 037SG105K based on the positional relationship between the position of the single light source 037SG105K and each decorative symbol drawn on the first decorative symbol drawing surface or the second decorative symbol drawing surface. It is simulated as shown by the broken line in FIG. 11-41 (A) how the emitted light is blocked by each decorative symbol and how the light wraps around to the front side of each decorative symbol. As shown in FIG. 11-41 (B), the light source effect image 037SG105E in which slightly radial light is seen from the periphery of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn and displayed.

Further, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 11-42 (A), the coordinates at a position directly behind the left decorative symbol 037SG105L and at a position Z1 away from the first decorative symbol drawing surface ( X2, Y1, Z1), that is, when the coordinates horizontally moved to the left from the above-mentioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are specified, the first decorative pattern is drawn as shown in FIGS. 11-42 (B). Since the surface distance is Z1 as in the case shown in FIG. 11-41, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E in which a slight radial light can be seen from the periphery of the decorative pattern 037SG105L on the left is drawn as in FIG. 11-41. Is displayed. The light emitting effect image 037SG105E is a light emitting effect image 037SG105E whose brightness is higher as it is closer to the center and lowers as it is closer to the edge, and the size of the entire image (distance from the center of the effect to the outer edge of the effect). Is substantially the same size as the light emission effect image 037SG105E of FIG. 11-41, which is separated by Z1 rearward from the first decorative pattern drawing surface.

Further, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 11-43 (A), the coordinates are located directly above the central decorative symbol 037SG105C and Z1 away from the first decorative symbol drawing surface. (X1, Y2, Z1), that is, when the coordinates vertically moved directly upward from the above-mentioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are specified, the central decoration is as shown in FIG. 11-43 (B). A light emitting effect image 037SG105E showing a state in which the light emitted from the single light source 037SG105K is visible without being obstructed by the symbol 037SG105C is drawn and displayed. The light emitting effect image 037SG105E is a light emitting effect image 037SG105E whose brightness is higher as it is closer to the center and lowers as it is closer to the edge, and the size of the entire image (distance from the center of the effect to the outer edge of the effect). Is substantially the same size as the light emission effect image 037SG105E of FIG. 11-41, which is separated by Z1 rearward from the first decorative pattern drawing surface.

Further, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 11-44 (A), the coordinates are at a position close to the first decorative symbol drawing surface and Z2 away from the first decorative symbol drawing surface. (X1, Y1, Z2), that is, when the coordinates moved from the above-mentioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) so as to approach the central decorative symbol 037SG105C without changing the vertical and horizontal positions are specified, the figure is shown in the figure. As shown in 11-44 (B), the light emission effect image 037SG105E in which the entire image is larger than the case where the distance from the first decorative symbol drawing surface is Z1, and the single light source 037SG105K is the decorative symbol 037SG105L on the left. By approaching the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the light wraps around in front of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, and the outline is obscured, while the single light source 037SG105K is located directly behind. The central decorative pattern 037SG105C, which has a larger distance from the single light source 037SG105K than the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, has a light emission effect image 037SG105E with less forward wraparound and a clear outline. Is drawn and displayed. The overall brightness of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is also higher than that of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E when the Z coordinate described above is Z1 due to the approach of the single light source 037SG105K.

Further, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIGS. 11-45 (A), the position is in front of the first decorative symbol drawing surface and the second decorative symbol drawing surface, and is from the first decorative symbol drawing surface. When the coordinates (X1, Y1, -Z3) at a position Z3 away from the front are specified, as shown in FIG. 11-45 (B), the left, middle, and right decorative patterns emit light from the single light source 037SG105K. The light source effect image 037SG105E that does not block strong light, and the light source effect image 037SG105E having a large overall size and extremely high brightness is drawn and displayed in substantially the entire display area of the image display device 5. Will be done. At this time, the left, middle, and right decorative patterns arranged behind the single light source 037SG105K are all invisible due to the light emission effect image.

As described above, in the present modification 037SG-8, by designating the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the specified coordinates is automatically generated by the light emitting effect drawing function of the display control unit 123. By sequentially changing (moving) these specified coordinates in time series, the light emission effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the movement of the single light source is drawn and displayed. However, even if the specified coordinates are the same, these light source effect drawing functions are drawn on, for example, the second decorative pattern drawing surface as shown in FIGS. 11-46 (A). It is possible to draw and display the light source effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center scrolling downward by the variable display.

Specifically, when the scrolling central decorative symbol 037SG105C is drawn at a position overlapping the single light source, as shown in FIGS. 11-46 (B), the light of the single light source is drawn on the central decorative symbol 037SG105C. When the blocked light emission effect image (similar to FIG. 11-41 (B)) is drawn and displayed, and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C that scrolls and moves is drawn at a position that does not overlap with the single light source 037SG105K, FIG. 11- As shown in 46 (C "), a light emission effect image is drawn and displayed so that the light emitted from the single light source can be visually recognized without being blocked by the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center. In FIGS. 11-46, the central decorative symbol 037SG105C has been described as an example, but the same applies to the right decorative symbol 037SG105R and the left decorative symbol 037SG105L.

As described above, in the high-performance display control unit 123 used in the present modification 037SG-8, by designating the coordinates of the single light source in the virtual space, the single light source 037SG105K is positioned at the designated coordinates. Since the light emission effect image 037SG105E is automatically generated and displayed, in the actual production, a single light source at the time when the process data is executed is added to the process data described in the time series for executing the production. By describing the coordinates of 037SG105K, a light emitting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K described in the process data is automatically generated and combined with other effect images to display an image. It will be displayed in 5.

Next, the variable display and the display mode of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E in the modified example 037SG-7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-47 and 11-51.

First, when the variable display is executed according to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed for a predetermined period as shown in FIGS. 11-47 (A) and 11-47 (B). On the display screen of the image display ancestor house 5, the left decorative symbol 037SG105L and the right decorative symbol 037SG105R showing the same numbers are stopped and reach is reached while the normal background image 5a is displayed. Then, the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is started behind the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center where the variable display is still executed. Then, the brightness of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E gradually increases as the display area on the display screen of the image display device 5 gradually increases as the variable display progresses.

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 (C) and 11-47 (D), a part of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is formed between the plurality of central decorative symbols 037SG105C in which the variable display is executed. By moving the decorative symbol 037SG105C in the center from the upper side to the lower side (variable display), the display mode changes according to the progress of the variable display.

Further, a part of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is between these plurality of central decorative symbols 037SG105C, between the left decorative symbol 037SG105L and the central decorative symbol 037SG105C, and the right decorative symbol 037SG105R and the central decorative symbol 037SG105C. The upper and lower parts of each central decorative symbol 037SG105C, the right part of the left decorative symbol 037SG105L, and the left of the right decorative symbol 037SG105R, as reflected between the decorative symbols 037SG105C and the back of the central decorative symbol 037SG105C. It is displayed in duplicate in the part.

Further, as the variable display progresses and the display area of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E in the image display device 5 is expanded and the brightness is increased, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D in each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R is a light emitting effect. The brightness decreases due to the backlight of the image 037SG105E, and then the brightness of the numerical display unit 037SG105S in each of the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R decreases. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 (E), when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is further enlarged, the entire decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105SGC, and 037SG105R are finally turned black. The division of the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S becomes invisible to the player.

More precisely, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed to the rear position of the left decorative symbol 037SG105L and the right decorative symbol 037SG105R, first, the left decorative symbol 037SG105L and the right decorative symbol are displayed. As the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D of the symbol 037SG105R decreases, the contours of the decorative symbol 037SG105L on the left and the decorative symbol 037SG105R on the right are emphasized by the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. Further, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is enlarged and displayed to the left side of the left decorative symbol 037SG105L and the right side of the right decorative symbol 037SG105R, the brightness of the numerical display unit 037SG105S of the left decorative symbol 037SG105L and the right decorative symbol 037SG105R is displayed. As it decreases, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R all change to black, and the pedestal part 037SG105D of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases in brightness, and the outline of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C emits light. The state is emphasized by the image 037SG105E. Then, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is further enlarged and displayed in substantially the entire display area, the brightness of the numerical display unit 037SG105S of the central decorative symbol 037SG105C decreases, and the entire central decorative symbol 037SG105C becomes It turns black.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 (F), when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entire display screen of the image display device 5 according to the progress of the variable display, each of the displayed images up to that point. The decorative design 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a are temporarily invisible to the player.

After that, as shown in FIGS. 11-48 (G), 11-48 (I), and 11-48 (K), the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 based on the lapse of a predetermined period. 11-48 (G), 11-48 (I), 11-48 (K) different from the display start position (central portion in the display screen of the image display device 5) of the light emission effect image 037SG105E in the above. Then, the image may be reduced and displayed toward the upper left portion of the display screen of the image display device 5, and finally hidden.

Further, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is hidden, as shown in FIGS. 11-48 (G) and 11-48 (H), in the image display device 5, the above-mentioned normal background image is used. By starting the display of different high expectation suggestion background images 5b, it is suggested that the variable display result becomes a big hit at a higher rate than when the high expectation suggestion background image 5b is hidden, or other. The reach may be executed after suggesting that the ratio of the variable display result to the big hit is higher than that of the reach effect of the above, and the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R shown in FIGS. 11-47 (A) are at least By displaying a decorative pattern having a different display mode (in the example shown in FIGS. 11-48 (I) and 11-48 (J), the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the numerical display portion 037SG105S have different display colors). , Suggests that the variable display result is a big hit at a higher rate than when the decorative pattern with a different display mode is not displayed, or suggests that the variable display result is a big hit at a higher rate than other reach effects. After that, the reach effect may be executed.

Further, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is hidden, the background image 5b for suggesting high expectation and the display are shown as shown in FIGS. 11-48 (G) to 11-48 (J). Instead of displaying the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R having different aspects, the reach effect is displayed after displaying the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R shown in FIGS. 11-47 (A) without executing any new effect. May be provided.

In the present modification 037SG-8, by using the high-performance display control unit 123, the light source effect image 037SG105E is displayed during the variable display, and the light source effect image 037SG105E is displayed on the image display device 5. An example is an example in which an effect of temporarily making the image of the above image invisible to the player can be executed. For this form, for example, the moving destination coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K are obtained from the process data being executed by the effect control CPU 120. It can be realized by specifying and notifying the display control unit 123 of the specified coordinates.

Further, in the present modification 037SG-8, by using the high-performance display control unit 123, the light source effect image 037SG105E is displayed during the variable display, and the light source effect image 037SG105E is displayed on the image display device 5. An example is an example in which an effect of temporarily making the image of the above image invisible to the player can be executed. Regarding this form, the display control unit 123 decorates the virtual space of the display area of the image display device 5 as described above. As a result of simulating the positional relationship between the design and the single light source, each image may be drawn on a different layer for each display priority.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11-49, the display control unit 123 has a small symbol indicating that variable display is being executed on layer 1 for drawing an image having the highest display priority, and storage for holding each special figure. A game-related image (game-related information image) such as a hold storage number display and a hold display that indicate the number numerically is drawn, and light is emitted to layer 2 for drawing an image having the next highest display priority after layer 1. Effect image 037SG105E, decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center on layer 3 for drawing an image with the next highest display priority after layer 2, left on layer 4 for drawing an image with the next highest display priority after layer 3. A background image may be drawn on the layer 5 for drawing the decorative symbol 037SG105L, the right decorative symbol 037SG105R, and the image having the highest display priority (the image having the lowest display priority) next to the layer 4.

By doing so, when displaying the light emitting effect image 037SG105E, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is used to play each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image. It is possible to temporarily make it invisible to the player, and it is possible to prevent the player from invisible game-related information such as a small symbol, a hold storage number display, and a hold display by the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. can.

As shown in FIGS. 11-41 to 11-27 to 11-40, the feature unit 037SG always displays small symbols and reserved memory numbers as game-related information in the display area of the image display device 5. Although the display mode is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and these game-related information can be used for the game situation (for example, a low base state or a good base state in which the game state can be variablely displayed). A period for hiding may be provided depending on whether the game is in a big hit game state in which the variable display is not executed, etc.).

As described above, in the present modification 037SG-8, as shown in FIGS. 11-47, the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R have the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S according to the increase in the brightness of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. The brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S decreases from the state in which they can be distinguished and recognized, and the outline is emphasized by the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. Finally, the entire decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are blackened as a whole. In this way, by changing the visibility of each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R by displaying the light emission effect image 037SG105E, the player is made to recognize the light emission effect using the light emission effect image 037SG105E as a realistic effect. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the effect of the light emission effect.

Further, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed, as shown in FIGS. 11-47, the background image 5a is not blackened by the light emitting effect image 037SG105E unlike the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R. While it becomes invisible to the player, the game-related information such as the small symbol, the hold memory number display, and the hold display cannot be seen by the player in the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a by the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. Even if it is hidden, the visibility does not change so that the player can recognize it, so the visibility of these game-related information can be ensured. ..

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-48, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R are blackened, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed in response to the end of the display. Since the background image 5b for suggesting high expectation may be displayed instead of the background image 5a, the player is effective against the display of the background image 5b for suggesting high expectation by displaying the light emission effect image 037SG105E. Because it can be noticed, it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-48, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R is blackened, the background corresponds to the end of the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. While the background image 5b for suggesting high expectation may be displayed instead of the image 5a, the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed in the same display mode as before the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed. May be done. Therefore, which of the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R having the same display mode as before the high expectation suggestion background image 5b and the light emitting effect image 037SG105E are displayed by the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed. Since the player can be noticed, the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-48, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are blackened, each of them corresponds to the end of the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. The decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R may be displayed in a display mode different from that before the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed. Therefore, since the display mode of each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R may change between immediately before the light emitting effect image 037SG105E becomes invisible and when the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E ends, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest due to the monotonous light emission effect using.

In particular, in the present modification 037SG-8, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit according to the display mode of each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R to be displayed according to the end of the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E, and thereafter. Since the rate at which the reach effect in which the variable display result is a big hit is executed is different, each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R is displayed in any display mode when the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E ends. It is possible to draw the attention of the player.
