According to the above-mentioned gaming machine, there is still room for improvement in showing the flow of the series of productions to be performed better.

The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of more preferably showing a series of effects to be performed.

(1) A special state (for example, a time saving state (high accuracy high)) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) that is advantageous to the player and is more likely to be controlled to the normal state and the advantageous state than the normal state. It is a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to (base state or low accuracy high base state)).
With multiple light emitting means,
A light emitting control means for controlling the light emitting means is provided.
The light emitting control means controls the light emitting means by using a luminance data table composed of luminance data.
It is possible to execute a notification effect that notifies whether or not the control is in the advantageous state.
The notification effect executed when it is determined that the control to the advantageous state is controlled to the introduction part until the propriety of whether or not the control is controlled to the advantageous state is notified, and the control to the advantageous state. It is composed including the first epilogue part that is notified to that effect.
The notification effect executed when it is determined that the advantageous state is not controlled includes the introduction part until the propriety of whether or not the advantageous state is controlled is notified, and the fact that the notification effect is not controlled by the advantageous state. Consists of including a second epilogue part to be notified
The light emission control means is
In both the introduction part in the notification effect executed when it is determined to be controlled in the advantageous state and the introduction part in the notification effect executed when it is determined not to be controlled in the advantageous state. The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the common introduction part.
In the first epilogue part in the notification effect executed when it is determined that the control to the advantageous state is performed, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the first epilogue part.
In the second epilogue part in the notification effect executed when it is determined that the advantageous state is not controlled, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the second epilogue part.
The average time for switching to the next luminance data after the luminance data of 1 is used in the luminance data table corresponding to the first epilogue part is after the luminance data of 1 is used in the luminance data table corresponding to the second epilogue part. It is set shorter than the average time to switch to the next brightness data,
Moreover,
A game control means (for example, CPU 103) capable of controlling the progress of the game, and
An effect control means (for example, an effect control CPU 120) capable of controlling an effect based on control information (for example, an effect control command shown in FIG. 284-2) transmitted from the game control means.
The number of times of the advantageous state that has occurred in the advantageous period (for example, the period of the consecutive villa state) that has never been controlled to the normal state from the time when the normal state is controlled to either the advantageous state or the special state is When the specified number of times has been reached (for example, when the number of consecutive villas is "5" or more, which is the first determination number of times), the predetermined numerical data is changed from the first value (for example, "0") to the second value (for example). For example, an update means that can be updated to "1" or "2" (for example, a portion where the CPU 103 executes the ball ejection state determination process shown in FIG. 284-13).
As shown in FIGS. 284-13 and 284-21, adjustment means (for example, FIGS. 284-13 and 284-21) for adjusting so that the speed of giving the game value given in a unit period decreases when the predetermined numerical data is the second value. In addition, the CPU 103 sets the ball ejection state flag value to "1" or "2" in the ball ejection state determination process to prolong the fanfare effect period, interval period, and ending effect period during the big hit game).
Equipped with
The game control means can transmit control information that can identify that the predetermined numerical data is the second value to the effect control means (for example, as shown in FIGS. 284-13, the CPU 103 can transmit the control information. Step 162 A portion for executing the command control process shown in FIG. 278 after executing the transmission setting of the payout state specification command in the process of SGS17).
The effect control means can execute effect control based on control information that can identify that the predetermined numerical data is the second value (for example, as shown in FIGS. 284-27 and 284-28). In addition, the effect control CPU 120 identifies the ball ejection state from the received ball ejection state designation command in the advance notice effect determination process, and is variably displaying using the advance notice effect type determination table according to the specified ball ejection state. The part where it is possible to determine whether or not to execute the advance notice effect and the type of effect of the advance notice effect to be executed),
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the notification effect to be executed can be executed with suitable luminance control, and the interest is improved. Further, since the adjustment for lowering the game value granting speed is executed when the predetermined numerical data is the second value, an excessive game value is given in a short period of time when the predetermined numerical data is the second value. It is possible to prevent the gambling from being excessively increased, and it is possible to execute the effect control corresponding to whether or not the predetermined numerical data is the second value, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, the embodiment for carrying out the invention described later includes the invention according to the following means (A). Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-83580 in a gaming machine, a predetermined number of times can be changed to a high probability state (probability change state), which is a special state that is easily controlled by a jackpot state that is more advantageous than a normal state. There are gaming machines that are controlled over the number of impressions.
However, by the time the high probability state (probability change state) ends, the advantageous state (big hit state) controlled to the high probability state (probability change state) repeatedly occurs, so that a large amount of game balls, which are game media, are used for a short period of time. There is a problem that it may be given in the meantime, and there is a fear that the player's gambling spirit will be excessively agitated.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a problem, and provides a gaming machine capable of preventing an excessive gaming value from being imparted in a short period of time and an excessive increase in gambling. The purpose.

The gaming machine of means (A) is

A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to (low accuracy and high base state)).
A game control means (for example, CPU 103) capable of controlling the progress of the game, and
An effect control means (for example, an effect control CPU 120) capable of controlling an effect based on control information (for example, an effect control command shown in FIG. 284-2) transmitted from the game control means.
The number of times of the advantageous state that has occurred in the advantageous period (for example, the period of the consecutive villa state) that has never been controlled to the normal state from the time when the normal state is controlled to either the advantageous state or the special state is When the specified number of times has been reached (for example, when the number of consecutive villas is "5" or more, which is the first determination number of times), the predetermined numerical data is changed from the first value (for example, "0") to the second value (for example). For example, an update means that can be updated to "1" or "2" (for example, a portion where the CPU 103 executes the ball ejection state determination process shown in FIG. 284-13).
As shown in FIGS. 284-13 and 284-21, adjustment means (for example, FIGS. 284-13 and 284-21) for adjusting so that the speed of giving the game value given in a unit period decreases when the predetermined numerical data is the second value. In addition, the CPU 103 sets the ball ejection state flag value to "1" or "2" in the ball ejection state determination process to prolong the fanfare effect period, interval period, and ending effect period during the big hit game).
Equipped with
The game control means can transmit control information that can identify that the predetermined numerical data is the second value to the effect control means (for example, as shown in FIGS. 284-13, the CPU 103 can transmit the control information. Step 162 A portion for executing the command control process shown in FIG. 278 after executing the transmission setting of the payout state specification command in the process of SGS17).
The effect control means can execute effect control based on control information that can identify that the predetermined numerical data is the second value (for example, as shown in FIGS. 284-27 and 284-28). In addition, the effect control CPU 120 identifies the ball ejection state from the received ball ejection state designation command in the advance notice effect determination process, and is variably displaying using the advance notice effect type determination table according to the specified ball ejection state. The part where it is possible to determine whether or not to execute the advance notice effect and the type of effect of the advance notice effect to be executed),
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, when the predetermined numerical data is the second value, the adjustment for lowering the game value imparting speed is executed, so that when the predetermined numerical data is the second value, an excessive amount is excessive in a short period of time. It is possible to prevent the game value from being given and the gambling to be excessively increased, and it is possible to execute the effect control corresponding to whether or not the predetermined numerical data is the second value, so that the game interest can be improved. ..

Each display unit may notify the player of the presence or absence of variable display of special figures or ordinary symbols, the result, the current gaming state, the number of pending numbers, etc. by lighting or blinking by a lighting means such as an LED. can.

For example, the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 determines whether or not the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special figure game is performed, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol determined by the result of the variable display. The player is notified by turning on / blinking / turning off by a lighting means such as an LED. The special figure 2 variable display unit 22 displays a stop symbol of the second special symbol determined by whether or not the second special symbol is variablely displayed in the second special figure game and the result of the variable display, such as an LED. The player is notified by lighting / blinking / extinguishing by the lighting means of.

Further, the special figure LED board 9020 can urge the player to strike right by turning on / blinking / extinguishing by a lighting means such as an LED in the right-handed display unit 9030. In the present embodiment, when urging the player to hit right, when the lighting means such as the LED in the right-handed display unit 9030 lights up (lights up) and does not urge the player to hit right. That is, when urging the player to hit left, the lighting means such as the LED in the right-handed display unit 9030 is turned off. After the symbol is confirmed, the CPU 103 sends a right-handed display lighting designation command to the effect control CPU 120, lights the right-handed display unit 9030, and after the symbol is confirmed by the final fluctuation in the high base state before returning to the normal state. , The right-handed display / off designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120, and the right-handed display unit 9030 is turned off.

Flow into.

In the present embodiment, in the big hit game after the big hit occurs and in the game state (time saving state or probability change state) after the big hit game, the player is provided on the right side of the game area by hitting right. The game ball is made to enter the second starting winning opening and the large winning opening, and during that time, the right-handed display unit 30 urges the player to make a right-handed hit. By hitting right while the display prompting the player to hit right is displayed, the player enters the game ball into the second starting prize opening and a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize balls is paid out. The right to the second special figure game can be obtained, or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prize balls can be paid out by inserting a game ball into a normal large prize opening. Further, as will be described in detail later, the V-large winning opening is opened during the round of the probable change jackpot, but the player can make a right-handed hit while the display prompting the right-handed hit is made. It is also possible to obtain the right to enter the game ball into the winning opening and control it to a probable change state. For this reason, the player may have an overall advantage by hitting right while the display prompting him to hit right is being performed. In addition, unlike right-handed hitting, operating the hitting ball operation handle 30 so as to launch the game ball toward the first flow path (hit method) is also referred to as left-handed hitting.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the fourth symbol unit 9050 has a special figure 1 storage display unit 9051 indicating a first reserved storage number corresponding to the first special figure game, and a second special figure game corresponding to the second special figure game. 2 Special figure 2 storage display unit 9052 showing the number of reserved storage, special figure 1 variable display unit 9053 showing the variable display status or display result of the first special figure, and the variable display status or display result of the second special figure.

For example, the special figure 1 variable display unit 9053 determines whether or not the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special figure game is performed, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol determined by the result of the variable display. The player is notified by turning on / blinking / turning off by a lighting means such as an LED. The special figure 2 variable display unit 9054 sets the stop symbol of the second special symbol determined by whether or not the second special symbol is variablely displayed in the second special figure game and the result of the variable display, such as an LED. The player is notified by lighting / blinking / extinguishing by the lighting means of.

In the following, the variation display (variable display) of the first special symbol indicates that the variation of the stop symbol of the first special symbol is represented by the lighting means such as the LED in the special diagram 1 variable display unit 9021 and the special diagram 1 variable display unit 9053. Also called. Further, the fact that the change of the stop symbol of the second special symbol is represented by the lighting means such as the LED in the special figure 2 variable display unit 9022 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 9054 is also referred to as the variation display (variable display) of the second special symbol. Refer to.

Further, in the present embodiment, when urging the player to hit right, the lighting means such as the LED in the right-handed display unit 55 of the fourth symbol unit 9050 lights up (lights up) and hits right. When not prompting the player, that is, when prompting the player to hit left, the lighting means such as the LED on the right-handed display unit 9055 is turned off. After the symbol is confirmed, the effect control CPU 120 lights the right-handed display unit 9055 based on the reception of the right-handed display lighting designation command from the CPU 103, and the symbol changes due to the final fluctuation in the high base state before returning to the normal state. After confirmation, the right-handed display unit 9055 is turned off based on the reception of the right-handed display / off designation command from the CPU 103. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a jackpot that is not controlled by the high base after the jackpot gaming state, the effect control CPU 120 may turn on the right-handed display unit 9055 only during the jackpot round. In this case, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the right-handed display unit 55 based on receiving the jackpot end designation command from the CPU 103.

FIG. 4C is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the fourth symbol unit and the game effect lamp. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the effect control CPU 90120 receives a pre-variation pattern command, a post-variation pattern command, or a symbol confirmation command, which will be described later, among the effect control commands, the fourth symbol unit 9050 and the game effect lamp are used. , Whether or not to switch the lighting mode such as lighting / blinking / extinguishing is different. The pre-variation pattern command and the post-variation pattern command are commands output from the CPU 103 of the game control microcomputer 100, which will be described later, to the effect control CPU 120 of the effect control board 12, and are the pre-variation pattern command and the post-variation pattern. One set of commands is output from the CPU 103 to the effect control CPU 120. In the following, the pre-variation pattern command and the post-variation pattern command are collectively referred to as a variation pattern command.

Specifically, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command from the CPU 103, the lighting mode of the LED (special figure 1 variable display 9053 and special figure 2 variable display 9054) in the fourth symbol unit 9050 is changed. .. For example, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command corresponding to the first special figure game from the CPU 103, the lighting mode of the special figure 1 variable display 9053 is set to the lighting mode of the first special symbol based on the received variation pattern command. It switches from the extinguishing indicating the stop to the blinking indicating the fluctuation of the first special symbol. Further, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command corresponding to the second special figure game from the CPU 103, the lighting mode of the special figure 2 variable display 9054 is set to the lighting mode of the second special symbol based on the received variation pattern command. It switches from the extinguishing indicating the stop to the blinking indicating the fluctuation of the second special symbol.

On the other hand, even if the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command from the CPU 103, the lighting mode before receiving the variation pattern command is not changed without changing the lighting mode of the LED (frame lamp or the like) in the game effect lamp. Keep it up.

Further, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the symbol determination command from the CPU 103, the lighting mode of the LED (special figure 1 variable display 9053 and special figure 2 variable display 9054) in the fourth symbol unit 9050 is changed. For example, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a symbol confirmation command from the CPU 103 that specifies that the symbol variation is terminated in the first special symbol game, the special figure 1 variable display 9053 is lit based on the received symbol confirmation command. The mode is switched from blinking indicating the change of the first special symbol to extinguishing indicating the stop of the first special symbol. Further, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a symbol confirmation command from the CPU 103 that specifies that the symbol variation is terminated in the second special symbol game, the special figure 2 variable display 9054 is lit based on the received symbol confirmation command. The mode is switched from blinking indicating the change of the second special symbol to extinguishing indicating the stop of the second special symbol.

On the other hand, even if the effect control CPU 120 receives the symbol confirmation command from the CPU 103, the lighting mode before receiving the symbol confirmation command without changing the lighting mode of the LED (frame lamp or the like) in the game effect lamp. Keep it up.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the fourth symbol unit 9050, the mode of the lamp (LED) changes according to the reception of the variation pattern command and the symbol determination command. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the game effect lamp 9, the mode of the lamp is maintained before and after receiving the command regardless of receiving the variation pattern command or the symbol determination command. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may change the mode of the gaming effect lamp 9 in response to receiving the variation pattern command. For example, when the gaming state changes from the normal state to the time saving state after the big hit, the pachinko gaming machine 1 changes from the lighting mode of the normal state to the time saving state in response to receiving the variation pattern command in which the time saving state is started. The mode of the game effect lamp 9 may be changed to the lighting mode of.

As will be described in detail later, each game effect lamp has a game effect lamp LED substrate on which an LED (lamp) and an LED driver that supplies a current to the LED are mounted. The LED driver turns on / blinks / turns off the game effect lamp 9 by adjusting the current for each LED (lamp) included in the game effect lamp 9 based on the luminance data from the effect control CPU 120. In this way, the effect control CPU 120 controls lighting / blinking / extinguishing of the game effect lamp 9.

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

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

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

The fourth symbol unit 9050 is connected to the effect control board 12, and each display unit can be turned on (blinking) under the control of the effect control CPU 120.

<Outline of the progress of the game>
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the above-described configuration, the game proceeds as follows. 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 which the previous normal map game is being executed (when the game ball has passed 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 the normal symbol other than the normal symbol (the normal symbol lost symbol) is stopped and displayed as the confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "normal symbol lost". When it becomes "per normal drawing", the opening control is performed so that the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period (the second starting winning opening is opened).

When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special drawing game by the special drawing 1 variable display unit 21 of the special drawing LED board 9020 is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special drawing game by the special drawing 2 variable display unit 22 of the special drawing LED board 9020 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 is generated, but 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 (for example, 4).

In the special figure game, the combination of the lighting modes of a plurality of LEDs provided on the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 of the special figure LED board 9020 is a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, which will be described later). The actual design differs depending on the type of big hit.) When the combination of lighting modes corresponding to) is used, it becomes a "big hit". It should be noted that the lighting mode corresponding to a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) in the combination of the lighting modes of the plurality of LEDs provided in the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 of the special figure LED board 9020. Is also referred to as a "specific display result". Further, the combination of the lighting modes of the plurality of LEDs provided on the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 of the special figure LED board 9020 corresponds to a special symbol (missing symbol) different from the jackpot symbol. When it becomes a combination of lighting modes, it becomes "missing". It should be noted that, in the combination of the lighting modes of a plurality of LEDs provided in the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 of the special figure LED board 9020, it corresponds to a special symbol (missing symbol) different from the jackpot symbol. The lighting mode to be turned on is also referred to as a “loss display result”.

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 addition, it may be controlled to the small hit game state as an advantageous state. Here, the small hit is a hit that is allowed up to the number of times that the large winning opening is opened less than the big hit. When the small hit game state ends, the game state does not change. That is, before and after the small hit game state, there is no transition from the probabilistic state to the normal state or from the normal state to the probabilistic state. Further, as in the case of the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

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 is either the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) or 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 early timing. This predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as the 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 (10 times or 7 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.

The type of big hit 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 that can obtain many prize balls, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type that can hardly obtain prize balls 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. As a result, control (high opening control, high base control) that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second starting 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 called 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.

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 effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or instead of the display, the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting of the game effect lamp 9, and the lighting of the game effect lamp 9 are performed. It may be turned 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 production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach. In addition, the super reach includes the first half of the super reach that ends in the first half of the super reach, the second half of the super reach that develops from the first half of the super reach, and the final reach that develops from the first half of the super reach. In the present embodiment, the jackpot reliability is higher when the variable display display result is derived in the first half of the super reach than when the variable display display result is derived in the normal reach. Further, the jackpot reliability is higher when the variable display display result is derived in the latter half of the super reach than when the variable display display result is derived in the first half of the super reach. Further, the jackpot reliability is higher when the variable display display result is derived in the final reach than when the variable display display result is derived in the latter half of the super reach. In the following, "Super Reach" is "SP Reach", "Super Reach First Half" is "SP First Half (SP First Half Reach)", and "Super Reach Second Half" is "SP Second Half (SP Second Half Reach)", " "Final reach" is also referred to as "SP final (SP final reach)".

When the display result of the special figure game is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to the "big hit" (the above-mentioned specific display result), it is predetermined as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5. A definite decorative symbol that is a combination of big hits is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line 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") 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. As the promotion effect, for example, a re-lottery effect may be executed to incite whether or not the non-probability variation symbol (normal symbol) is temporarily stopped as a jackpot display result and then promoted to the probability variation symbol. In addition, a round promotion effect of promoting from a non-probable change big hit to a probable change big hit may be executed during the big hit game state.

When the display result of the special figure game is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to "loss" (the above-mentioned loss display result), the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, but the variable display of the decorative symbol. As a display result of, the fixed decorative symbol (also referred to as "non-reach loss") of the non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "missing", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination ("reach loss") that is not a big hit combination. The confirmed decorative symbol (also referred to as) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "reach loss").

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

<Various tables related to big hits>
Various tables related to big hits will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

[Hit type]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a hit type. As shown in FIG. 7, in the hit type table, for each type (type) of hit in the jackpot, the jackpot probability after the end of the jackpot gaming state, the base after the end of the jackpot gaming state, and the number of times of opening in the jackpot ( The number of rounds) is shown.

Specifically, as the types of jackpots, normal jackpots 1 and 2 and probabilistic jackpots 1 to 9 are provided. In the following, the marking of each round may be represented by "R". For example, the first round is also referred to as the 1Rth, and the second round is also referred to as the 2Rth.

The normal jackpot 1 is a jackpot controlled to a low probability state and a high base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state of 3 rounds. In the normal jackpot 1, such a low accuracy high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times).

The normal jackpot 2 is a jackpot controlled to a low probability state and a high base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state of 3 rounds. In the normal jackpot 2, such a low accuracy high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

The probabilistic jackpots 1 to 5 are jackpots controlled to a high probability state and a high base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state of three rounds. In the probability variation jackpot 1, such a high accuracy high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

The probability variation jackpot 6 is a jackpot controlled to a high probability state and a high base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state of 5 rounds. In the probability variation jackpot 6, such a high accuracy high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

The probability variation jackpot 7 is a jackpot controlled to a high probability state and a high base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state of 7 rounds. In the probability variation jackpot 7, such a high accuracy high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

The probabilistic jackpots 8 and 9 are jackpots controlled to a high probability state and a high base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state of 10 rounds. In the probability variation jackpots 8 and 9, such a high accuracy high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

[Random numbers]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining each random number. As shown in FIG. 8, each random number is used as follows. Specifically, the random 1 is a random counter for hit determination that determines whether or not to make a big hit. Random 1 is, for example, incremented and updated by 1 from 1 and incremented and updated up to its upper limit of 65536, and then incremented and updated from 1 again. Random 2 is a random counter (for determining the jackpot type) that determines the jackpot type (type).

Random 3 and random 4 are random counters (for determining the post-variation pattern) that determine a variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as a post-variation pattern) (variation time) corresponding to the post-variation among the variation patterns. Post-variation refers to the variation in the latter half of the variation in the special symbol. Random 3 is a random counter that determines the post-variation pattern corresponding to the time of loss. For example, it is updated one by one, added and updated from 1, and added and updated up to the upper limit of 65519, and then added again from 1. Will be updated. Random 4 is a random counter that determines a post-variation pattern corresponding to a hit. For example, it is added and updated from 1 to 1 and is added and updated up to its upper limit of 239, and then added and updated again from 1.

Random 5 is a random counter (for determining the pre-variation pattern) that determines a variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as a pre-variation pattern) (variation time) corresponding to the pre-variation among the variation patterns. The pre-variation refers to the variation of the first half of the variation of the special symbol. Random 5 is, for example, incremented and updated by 1 from 1 and incremented and updated up to the upper limit of 251 and then incremented and updated from 1 again. Random 6 is a random counter (for determining whether or not to generate a hit based on a normal symbol). Random 6 is, for example, incremented and updated from 1 to 1, incremented and updated up to the upper limit of 201, and then incremented and updated from 1 again.

In the present embodiment, it is determined based on the value of the big hit determination random number (random 1) whether or not the big hit gaming state is controlled as an advantageous state advantageous for the player. Then, which of the plurality of types of jackpots is to be selected is determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random 2). At this time, the jackpot symbol may also be determined based on the value of random 2.

First, the posterior variation pattern is determined according to the hit or loss using the random number for determining the posterior variation pattern (random 3 and 4), and the anterior variation pattern is determined using the random number for determining the anterior variation pattern (random 5). Will be done. As described above, in this embodiment, the fluctuation pattern is determined by the two-step lottery process.

[Big hit judgment table, big hit type judgment table]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a jackpot determination table and a jackpot type determination table. These tables are stored in ROM 101.

FIG. 9A is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot determination table. The jackpot determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101, and is a table in which a jackpot determination value to be compared with random 1 is set. The jackpot determination table includes a normal time (non-probability change time) jackpot determination table used in a normal state (a game state that is not a probability change state, that is, a non-probability change state) and a probability change time jackpot determination table used in the probability change state.

The jackpot judgment values are set for the number of judgment values shown in the upper column of FIG. 9 (a) in the normal jackpot determination table, and the lower column of FIG. 9 (a) is set in the probability change jackpot determination table. The jackpot judgment value is set for the number of judgment values described in. The jackpot judgment value set in the jackpot judgment table at the time of probability change is the jackpot judgment value common to the jackpot judgment value set in the jackpot judgment table at normal time, and the jackpot judgment value peculiar to the probability change is added to the normal time. A larger number of jackpot determination values than the jackpot determination table are set. As a result, in the probabilistic state, it is determined that the jackpot is a big hit with a higher probability than in the normal state.

The CPU 103 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 104 at a predetermined time and compares the extracted value with the value of the big hit determination random number (random 1). If it matches the jackpot determination value, it is decided to make a jackpot (normal jackpot or probability variation jackpot) for the special symbol. In addition, FIG. 9A shows the probability (ratio) of becoming a big hit or the probability (ratio) of losing.

9 (b) and 9 (c) are explanatory views showing a jackpot type determination table. FIG. 9B is a first special figure big hit type determination table used for determining the big hit type when the big hit is determined by the first special symbol. FIG. 9C is a second special figure big hit type determination table used for determining the big hit type when it is determined to be a big hit by the second special symbol.

The first special figure jackpot type determination table of FIG. 9B is a numerical value to be compared with the value of random 2 for determining the jackpot type, and corresponds to each of the normal jackpots 1 and 2 and the probability variation jackpots 1 to 4. Judgment values are set for the number of determined judgment values. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, for the first special figure, the normal jackpot 1 is assigned 25 random 2 values out of 100 random 2s, and the normal jackpot 2 is 100 random 2s. 25 of the random 2 values are assigned, the probability variation jackpot 1 is assigned the value of 5 random 2 out of 100 random 2 and the probability variation jackpot 2 is 37 of the 100 random 2 Random 2 values are assigned, probabilistic jackpot 3 is assigned 4 random 2 values out of 100 random 2s, and probabilistic jackpot 4 is 4 random 2 out of 100 random 2s. The value of is assigned.

In the second special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 9C, determination values are set for the number of determination values corresponding to each of the probabilistic jackpots 5 to 9, which are numerical values to be compared with the values of random 2. Has been done. For example, as shown in FIG. 9C, for the second special figure, the probability variation jackpot 5 is assigned the value of 10 random 2s out of 100 random 2, and the probability variation jackpot 6 is assigned 100 random 2s. 5 random 2 values are assigned, probabilistic jackpot 7 is assigned 5 random 2 values out of 100 random 2s, and probabilistic jackpot 8 is 70 out of 100 random 2s. The value of each random 2 is assigned, and the probability variation jackpot 9 is assigned the value of 10 random 2 out of 100 random 2.

Using such various jackpot type determination tables, the CPU 103 determines the type corresponding to the jackpot type determination value in which the random 2 values match as the jackpot type, and the random 2 values match as the jackpot symbol. Determine the big hit design. As a result, the jackpot type and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the jackpot type are determined at the same time.

<Direction control command>
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect control command. The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 which is the control board on the main side transmits various effect control commands to the effect control CPU 120 according to the game control state. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte indicates MODE (command classification), and the second byte indicates EXT (command type). The command form shown in FIG. 10 is an example, and other command forms may be used. In the following, "(H)" is shown to be a hexadecimal number, but may be omitted in the present specification.

The command 80XX (H) is a variation pattern that specifies a variation pattern (pre-variation pattern) corresponding to the pre-variation among the variation patterns of the decorative symbol that is variably displayed on the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol. It is a command (XX corresponds to the number of the previous fluctuation pattern). The pre-variation on the sub side refers to the variation of the first half of the variation of the decorative symbol that is variably displayed on the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol. When a unique number is assigned to each of a plurality of types of pre-variation patterns, there is a pre-variation pattern command corresponding to each of the pre-variation patterns specified by the number.

The command 84XX (H) is a variation pattern that specifies a variation pattern (post-variation pattern) corresponding to the posterior variation among the variation patterns of the decorative symbol that is variably displayed on the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol. It is a command (XX corresponds to the post-variation pattern number). The rear variation on the sub side refers to the variation in the latter half of the variation of the decorative symbol that is variably displayed on the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol. When a unique number is assigned to each of a plurality of types of post-variation patterns, there is a post-variation pattern command corresponding to each of the post-variation patterns specified by the number.

The pre-variation pattern command and the post-variation pattern command are transmitted from the CPU 103 to the effect control CPU 120 as a set of two commands. The effect control CPU 120 cannot specify the variation pattern only by receiving only one of the pre-variation pattern command and the post-variation pattern command, and receives both the pre-variation pattern command and the post-variation pattern command. By doing so, the fluctuation pattern can be specified.

The command 8101 (H) is a first variable display start command for designating the start of the variable display of the first special figure. The command 8102 (H) is a second variable display start command for designating the start of the variable display of the second special figure. Upon receiving the command 8101 (H) or the command 8102 (H), the effect control CPU 101 controls the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative pattern.

The command 8C01 (H) is a display result 1 designation command (loss designation command) indicating that the command is determined to be lost. The command 8C02 (H) is a display result 2 designation command (normal jackpot 1 designation command) indicating that the normal jackpot 1 is determined. The command 8C03 (H) is a display result 3 designation command (normal jackpot 2 designation command) indicating that the normal jackpot 2 is determined. The command 8C04 (H) is a display result 4 designation command (probability variation jackpot 1 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 1 is determined. The command 8C05 (H) is a display result 5 designation command (probability variation jackpot 2 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 2 is determined. The command 8C06 (H) is a display result 6 designation command (probability variation jackpot 3 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 3 is determined. The command 8C07 (H) is a display result 7 designation command (probability variation jackpot 4 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 4 is determined. The command 8C08 (H) is a display result 8 designation command (probability variation jackpot 5 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 5 is determined. The command 8C09 (H) is a display result 9 designation command (probability variation jackpot 6 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 6 is determined. The command 8C10 (H) is a display result 10 designation command (probability variation jackpot 7 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 7 is determined. The command 8C11 (H) is a display result 11 designation command (probability variation jackpot 8 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 8 is determined. The command 8C12 (H) is a display result 12 designation command (probability variation jackpot 9 designation command) indicating that the probability variation jackpot 9 is determined. Each of the loss designation command, the normal jackpot 1, 2 designation command, and the probability variation jackpot 1 to 9 designation command, or these are collectively referred to as an 8C system command.

The command 8D01 (H) is a first symbol variation designation command indicating that the variable display of the first special figure is started. The command 8D02 (H) is a second symbol variation designation command indicating that the variable display of the second special figure is started. Each of the first symbol variation designation command and the second symbol variation designation command, or these collectively, are also referred to as 8D system commands.

[Judgment of post-variation pattern]
The post-variation pattern is determined by using different random counters in the jackpot determination depending on whether it is determined to be a jackpot or a loss. FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a post-variation pattern determination table at the time of loss. As shown in FIG. 13, when a loss is determined in the jackpot determination, the post-variation pattern is determined using the random 3 described in FIG. Further, when the jackpot determination is determined to be lost, the post-variation pattern is determined using a different number of determination values according to the number of reserved storages after digestion, and the determined post-variation number is also different.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the number of reserved storages after digestion is 0, one of the post-variation numbers 1, 4, 5 to 8 is determined as the post-variation pattern. A different number of determination values is provided for each of the post-variation patterns. The probability of being determined to be any of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (selection rate of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8) is about 1/102.

When the number of reserved storages after digestion is 1, one of the post-variation numbers 1, 4, 5 to 8 is determined, and a different number of determination values is provided for each of the post-variation patterns. ing. The probability of being determined to be any of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (selection rate of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8) is about 1/102.

When the number of reserved storages after digestion is 2, one of the post-variation numbers 2, 4, 5 to 8 is determined, and a different number of determination values is provided for each of the post-variation patterns. ing. The probability of being determined to be any of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (selection rate of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8) is about 1/102.

When the number of reserved storages after digestion is 3, one of the post-variation numbers 3, 4, 5 to 8 is determined, and a different number of determination values is provided for each of the post-variation patterns. ing. The probability of being determined to be any of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (selection rate of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8) is about 1/102.

In this way, the post-variation pattern is determined using a different number of determination values according to the number of reserved memories after digestion, and further, the post-variation number is determined using a different number of determination values according to the number of reserved memories after digestion. Therefore, the type of fluctuation pattern changes according to the number of remaining reserved memories, which makes it possible to give variety to the game and improve the fun of the game.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining a post-variation pattern determination table at the time of a big hit. As shown in FIG. 14, when the jackpot is determined in the jackpot determination, the post-variation pattern is determined using the random 4 described with reference to FIG. Further, when the jackpot is determined in the jackpot determination, the post-variation pattern is determined using different numbers of determination values according to the type of jackpot.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), when it is determined to be one of the normal jackpot 1, 2 and the probabilistic jackpot 1, 2, 5 to 8, any of the post-variation numbers 9 to 12. The posterior variation pattern is determined, and a different number of determination values is provided for each of the posterior variation patterns. The probability of being determined to be any of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (selection rate of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12) is about 1 / 1.1.

When it is determined to be one of the probabilistic jackpots 3 and 9, any of the posterior variation patterns 9 to 12 is determined, and a different number of determination values is provided for each of the posterior variation patterns. .. The probability of being determined to be any of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (selection rate of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12) is about 1 / 1.1.

When the probability variation jackpot 4 is determined, any of the posterior variation patterns 9 to 12 is determined, and a different number of determination values is provided for each of the posterior variation patterns. The probability of being determined to be any of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (selection rate of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12) is about 1 / 1.1.

In this way, since the post-variation pattern is determined using a different number of judgment values depending on the type of jackpot, the type of variation pattern changes according to the type of jackpot, thereby giving diversity to the game. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the probability of being determined to be one of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 that develops into SP reach or final reach is about 1/102 at the time of loss, whereas it is a big hit. Since the time is about 1 / 1.1, which is higher than that, when the SP reach or the final reach is developed, the player can be expected to have a big hit.

[Judgment of pre-variation pattern]
FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining a pre-variation pattern determination table. The pre-variation pattern is determined using the number of random 5 determination values that differ depending on the type of the post-variation pattern previously determined. Further, the pre-variation number determined is also different depending on the type of the post-variation pattern determined earlier.

As shown in FIG. 15 (f), when it is determined to be the posterior variation pattern of any of the posterior variation numbers 6 and 10, it is determined to be any of the anterior variation patterns of the anterior variation numbers 4, 7 and 10. As shown in FIG. 15 (g), when the posterior variation pattern of the posterior variation number 7 is determined, it is determined to be one of the anterior variation patterns 5, 8 and 11 of the anterior variation number 5.

As shown in FIG. 15 (h), when the posterior variation pattern of the posterior variation number 11 is determined, it is determined to be one of the anterior variation patterns 5, 8 and 11. As shown in FIG. 15 (i), when the posterior variation pattern of the posterior variation number 8 is determined, it is determined to be one of the anterior variation patterns 6, 9 and 12 of the anterior variation number 6. As shown in FIG. 15 (j), when the posterior variation pattern of the posterior variation number 12 is determined, it is determined to be one of the anterior variation patterns 6, 9, and 12.

[Total variation pattern]
FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining an example of the total variation pattern on the main side. When the post-variation pattern and the pre-variation pattern are determined as described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15, any of the variation patterns of the main variation numbers 1 to 26 as shown in FIG. 16 is obtained.

FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining an example of a lottery of an effect pattern on the sub side. As shown in FIG. 17, the effect control CPU 120 on the sub side determines the effect pattern by lottery based on the variation pattern command received from the CPU 103 on the main side.

For example, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command corresponding to any of the main variation numbers 7 to 9 from the CPU 103, the effect of the loss pattern of the SP first half reach A, which will be described later, among a plurality of types of reach effects, or , It is decided to produce one of the loss patterns of reach B in the first half of SP.

<Operation>
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.

(Special symbol process processing)
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of the game control main process. 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.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, the CPU 103 makes necessary initial settings (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, the CPU 103 determines 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 92 provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in the ON state is input to the gaming 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.

When the recovery condition is satisfied (Y in step S3), the CPU 103 executes the recovery process (step S4) and then the setting confirmation process (step S5). The CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents of the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. 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 (N in step S3), the CPU 103 executes the initialization process (step S6) and then the setting change process (step S7). 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 30, the detection of the game ball by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the lost symbol or the like is stopped and displayed, or the game is stopped, which is different from the lost symbol. It suffices to control so that the display corresponding to is performed. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, the CPU 103 determines whether or not a 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 each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 29 is sequentially updated and displayed. After that, the CPU 103 stores (updates and stores) the set value displayed on the display monitor 29 in the backup area of the RAM 102 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. Turn off the display monitor 29. When the setting change state is terminated, the setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12.

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

When the effect control board 12 side receives the setting confirmation start command or the setting change start command, the control may be performed to notify that the setting is being confirmed or the setting is being changed. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed on the image display device 5, a predetermined sound may be output from the speakers 8L, 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, a pressing operation of the clear switch 92 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 92 is on, the initialization process of step S6 is performed. The setting change process of step S7 is executed and the setting change state can be controlled. If the clear switch 92 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, if the clear switch 92 is on, the initialization process of step S6 is performed. While it is executed, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch 92 is off, the recovery process of step S4 is executed but 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 CPU 103 sets the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied 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.

(Timer interrupt processing for game control)
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of game control timer interrupt processing. 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. 19 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, the CPU 103 performs an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing a predetermined main-side error process, and can generate a warning if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, the CPU 103 starts the jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.) supplied to, for example, a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing a predetermined information output process. Data such as information (information indicating the number of start winnings and the like) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times the probability change state has been reached) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, the CPU 103 executes 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 (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 map game is performed by driving the normal map display unit 26, and the number of reserved normal maps is displayed by turning on the normal map storage display unit 25.

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.

(Special symbol process processing)
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. The special symbol process process is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 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 a start prize is generated, a random value for determining a display result (including a jackpot type) and a fluctuation pattern is 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, and the look-ahead judgment 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, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 19 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 S117 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In each process (steps S110 to S117) 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 confirmed special symbol (either a jackpot symbol or a lost symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. 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 special diagram 1 variable display unit 21 and the special diagram 2 variable display unit 22 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 processing, the special symbol 1 variable display unit 21 and the special diagram 2 variable display unit 22 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". If the display result is "missing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "missing", the game state is also updated when the time saving state or the probable 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 upper limit period for opening the big winning opening and the upper limit number of executions of the round are set according to which type of jackpot is used. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing ends.

The process of opening the jackpot in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. In this big hit opening process, the big winning opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is opened, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to return the switch 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 from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest probability of winning a big hit, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the probability of winning a big hit. In this example, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is 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.

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

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

(Starting prize judgment process)
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a start winning determination process. The CPU 103 executes the start winning determination process in S101 of the special symbol process process shown in FIG. 20. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting port switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. (Step S51). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is on (Y in step S51), the first special figure reserved storage number, which is the reserved storage number of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value. (For example, it is determined whether or not it is "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step S52). The CPU 103 may specify the first special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the first reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown). When the first special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step S52 (N in step S52), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (not shown) is set to "1". (Step S53).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step S51 (N in step S51) or when the first special figure reserved storage number reaches the upper limit value in step S52 (Y in step S52). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is on (step). S54). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is on (Y in step S54), the second special figure hold storage number, which is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value. (For example, it is determined whether or not it is "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step S55). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the second reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown). When the second special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step S55 (N in step S55), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (not shown) is set to "2". (Step S56).

After executing any of the processes of step S53 and step S56, the special figure hold storage number corresponding to the start port buffer value, which is the stored value of the start port buffer, is updated to be added by 1 (step S57). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first hold storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the second hold storage count value is added by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of reserved storages is also updated to be added by 1 (step S58). For example, the total hold storage count value, which is the storage value of the total hold storage counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown), may be updated to be added by 1.

After executing the process of step S58, the CPU 103 uses the random number value random 1 for jackpot determination and the jackpot type determination among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random number of the game control counter setting unit (not shown). Numerical data indicating the random number value random 2 and the random number value random 3 and 4 for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted (step S59). Numerical data indicating each random value extracted in this way is stored by being set as hold information at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step S60). For example, when the starting buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating random values 1 to 4 are stored in the first special figure holding storage unit (not shown), while the starting buffer value is "2". At a certain time, numerical data indicating random values 1 to 4 are stored in a second special figure holding storage unit (not shown).

For the numerical data indicating the random value random 1 for determining the jackpot and the random value random 2 for determining the jackpot type, whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is set as "big hit", and further, the variable display result is "". It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". Random random values 3 and 4 for determining the variation pattern are used to determine the variation pattern including the variation display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step S59, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random value values used for determining the variable display mode including the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol and the variable display time.

Following the process of step S59, the transmission setting of the start opening winning designation command according to the start opening buffer value is performed (step S60). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start prize designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area designated by the send command pointer in the send command buffer. The setting for sending the first start winning prize designation command is made to. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start prize designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 is seconded. 2 Make settings for sending the start prize designation command. The start prize designation command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. 19 after the special symbol process process is completed. To.

Following the process of step S60, the CPU 103 stores the random number value in the storage area corresponding to the hold storage (step S61). After that, the CPU 103 clears the start opening buffer, initializes the stored value to "0" (step S62), and then ends the start winning determination process. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B detect a valid start prize for the game ball at the same time, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be surely completed.

(Special design normal processing)
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol normal processing. As shown in FIG. 22, in the special symbol normal processing, the CPU 103 uses the first reserved storage buffer (storage buffer for storing the reserved storage information of the first special symbol) or the second reserved storage buffer (of the second special symbol). It is determined whether or not there is hold storage data in the storage buffer for storing the hold storage information (step S1001). When there is no hold storage data in either the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer (N in step S1001), it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed from the suspension of fluctuation (step S1002). If a predetermined period has not elapsed since the fluctuation was stopped (N in step S1002), the special symbol normal processing is terminated. On the other hand, when a predetermined period has elapsed from the suspension of fluctuation (Y in step S1002), a process for transmitting a customer waiting demo designation command is performed (step S1003), and the special symbol normal process is terminated. Here, when the customer waiting demo designation command is transmitted, the customer waiting demo designation command transmission completed flag indicating that the customer waiting demo designation command has been sent is set. Then, when the special symbol normal processing after the next timer interruption is executed after the customer waiting demo designation command is transmitted, the customer is repeated based on the fact that the customer waiting demo designation command sent flag is set. It is controlled not to send the wait demo specification command. Such a customer waiting demo designation command sent flag is reset when the next variation display of the special symbol is started.

When there is hold storage data in the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer (Y in step S1001), the CPU 103 indicates that the first data among the data set in the hold specific area is "second". It is determined whether or not the data is data (step S1004). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is not the data indicating "second" (that is, the data indicating "first") (N in step S1004), the CPU 103 uses the special symbol pointer (first). 1 Set the data indicating "first" in the flag indicating whether the special symbol process processing is performed for the special symbol or the special symbol process processing is performed for the second special symbol (step S1005). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is the data indicating "second" (Y in step S1004), the CPU 103 sets the data indicating "second" in the special symbol pointer (step S1006). ).

In this embodiment, hereinafter, the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special are performed according to whether the data indicating "first" is set in the special symbol pointer or the data indicating "second" is set. The variable display of the symbol is executed using a common processing routine. When the data indicating "first" is set in the special symbol pointer, the variable display of the first special symbol is performed based on the reserved storage data stored in the first reserved storage buffer. On the other hand, when the data indicating "second" is set in the special symbol pointer, the variation display of the second special symbol is performed based on the reserved storage data stored in the second reserved storage buffer.

Under the control of steps S1004 to S1006, if even one data of the second reserved storage exists in the second reserved storage buffer, the variation display of the second special symbol based on the data of the second reserved storage is the second. 1 Priority is given to the variable display of the first special symbol based on the data in the hold storage.

Next, the CPU 103 reads out each random value stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number = 1 indicated by the special symbol pointer and stores it in the reserved storage buffer of the RAM 102 (step S1007). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 has each random value stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number = 1 in the first reserved storage buffer. Is read and stored in the hold storage buffer of the RAM 102. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the CPU 103 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number = 1 in the second reserved storage buffer. It is stored in the hold storage buffer of the RAM 102.

Then, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the hold storage counter indicated by the special symbol pointer, and shifts the contents of each storage area (step S1008). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the first reserved storage counter, and determines each storage area in the first reserved storage buffer. Shift the content. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the count value of the second reserved storage counter is subtracted by 1, and the contents of each storage area in the second reserved storage buffer are shifted.

That is, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 is in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first reserved storage buffer of the RAM 102. Each stored random number value is stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number = n-1. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", each stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the second reserved storage buffer of the RAM 102. The random number value is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number = n-1.

Therefore, the order in which each random number value stored in each storage area corresponding to each first reserved storage number (or each second reserved storage number) is always the first reserved storage number (or). The order of the second reserved storage) = 1, 2, 3, 4 is matched.

Next, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the hold storage number designation command of the side indicated by the special symbol pointer to the effect control CPU 120 based on the value of the hold storage number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer after subtraction (). Step S1009). In this case, when the value indicating "first" is set in the special symbol pointer, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the first hold storage number designation command. Further, when the value indicating "second" is set in the special symbol pointer, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the second reserved storage number designation command.

Next, the CPU 103 transmits a background designation command (step S1010), reads a random R (random number for jackpot determination) from the hold storage buffer, and executes the jackpot determination module (step S1011). In this case, the CPU 103 reads out the jackpot determination random numbers extracted in the start winning determination process and stored in advance in the first hold storage buffer and the second hold storage buffer, and performs the jackpot determination. The jackpot determination module is a program that compares a predetermined jackpot determination value (see FIG. 8) with a random number for jackpot determination, and executes a process of determining that a jackpot is determined if they match. That is, it is a program that executes a jackpot determination process.

In the jackpot determination process, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), the probability of becoming a jackpot is higher than when the gaming state is in the non-probability changing state (normal gaming state and time saving state). ing. Specifically, when the number of jackpot determination values is probable, the jackpot determination table (the table in which the numerical values in the lower column of FIG. 9A) are set in advance and the number of jackpot determination values is probable. A normal jackpot determination table (a table in which the numerical values in the upper column of FIG. 9A) are set to be less than the jackpot determination table is provided. Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, and when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the CPU 103 performs a jackpot determination process using the probabilistic big hit determination table, and the gaming state is normal. When it is in a state or a time saving state, the jackpot determination process is performed using the normal jackpot determination table. That is, when the value of the big hit determination random number (random 1) matches any of the big hit determination values shown in FIG. 9A, the CPU 103 determines that the special symbol is a big hit. If it is decided to make a big hit (Y in step S1011), the process proceeds to step S1012. It should be noted that deciding whether or not to make a big hit means deciding whether or not to shift to the big hit gaming state, but it also means deciding whether or not to make the stop symbol in the special symbol a big hit symbol. ..

It should be noted that confirmation of whether or not the current gaming state is in the probabilistic state is performed depending on whether or not the probabilistic change flag is set. The probability change flag is set when the gaming state is changed to the probability change state, and is reset when the probability change state is finished. Specifically, the probability change flag is set in the process of ending the jackpot game, and then the condition that the fluctuation display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) and the condition that the next jackpot is determined. When the earlier of the conditions is satisfied, the change display of the special symbol is ended and the stop symbol is reset at the timing of the stop display.

If the value of the big hit determination random number (random 1) does not match any of the big hit determination values (N in step S1011), the process proceeds to step S1015 described later.

If the value of the big hit determination random number (random 1) matches any of the big hit determination values in step S1011, the CPU 103 sets the big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit (step S1012). The jackpot flag is reset when the jackpot game ends. Then, as a table used to determine the jackpot type to be one of a plurality of types, the first special symbol jackpot type determination table in FIG. 9 (b) and the second special symbol jackpot type in FIG. 9 (c) are used. Select one of the judgment tables. Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 selects the first special symbol jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 9B. Further, the CPU 103 selects the second special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 9C when the special symbol pointer indicates "second". Then, the CPU 103 reads out the random number for determining the jackpot type extracted in the start winning determination process and stored in advance in the first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer, and stores the random number for determining the jackpot type in the reserved storage buffer using the selected jackpot type determining table. The jackpot type and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the value corresponding to the value of the random number (random 2) for determining the jackpot type are determined (step S1013).

Further, the CPU 103 sets the jackpot type data indicating the determined jackpot type in the jackpot type buffer in the RAM 102 (step S1014).

Next, the CPU 103 sets a stop symbol of the special symbol (step S1015). Specifically, when the jackpot flag is not set, "-", which is a lost symbol, is set as a stop symbol of the special symbol. When the jackpot flag is set, the jackpot symbol determined in step S1014 is set as the stop symbol of the special symbol according to the determination result of the jackpot type.

Then, the CPU 103 transmits a display result designation command (step S1016), and updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step S111) (step S1017).

(Variation pattern setting process)
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the fluctuation pattern setting process. As shown in FIG. 23, in the variation pattern setting process, the CPU 103 determines the post-variation pattern based on random 3 and 4 according to the number of reserved storages and the presence / absence of a big hit (step S1101). Specifically, in the case of a loss, the CPU 103 selects the post-variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 13 according to the number of reserved storages, and after the selection, the post-variation pattern determination table and the value of random 3 are used later. Determine the variation pattern. Further, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 103 selects the post-variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14 according to the type of the big hit, and determines the post-variation pattern based on the selected post-variation pattern determination table and the value of random 4. decide.

Next, the CPU 103 determines the pre-variation pattern based on the random 5 (step S1102). Specifically, the CPU 103 selects the pre-variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 15 according to the post-variation pattern determined in S1102, and pre-variates based on the selected pre-variation pattern determination table and the value of random 5. Determine the pattern.

Next, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the variation pattern command corresponding to the determined variation pattern (pre-variation pattern and post-variation pattern) to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1103).

Next, the CPU 103 sets a value corresponding to the fluctuation time corresponding to the selected fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation time timer formed in the RAM 102 (step S1104). Then, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the symbol variation designation command to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1105), and updates the value of the special symbol process flag to the value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (step S112) (step S1105). S1106).

(Special symbol change processing)
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol variation processing. As shown in FIG. 24, in the special symbol variation processing, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the variation time timer (step S1201), and when the variation time timer times out (Y in step S1202), the value of the special symbol process flag is set to the special symbol. The value corresponding to the stop process (step S113) is updated (step S1203). If the variable time timer has not timed out (N in step S1202), the process ends as it is.

(Special symbol stop processing)
FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol stop processing. As shown in FIG. 25, in the special symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 sets the end flag to end the variable display of the special symbol, and displays the stop symbol on the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 or the special figure 2 variable display unit 22. Control for derivation display is performed (step S1301). When the data indicating "first" is set in the special symbol pointer, the variation of the first special symbol in the special diagram 1 variable display unit 21 is terminated, and the special symbol pointer indicates "second". When the data is set, the change of the second special symbol in the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 is terminated. Further, a symbol confirmation designation command is set in the effect control CPU 120 (step S1302). As a result, the symbol confirmation designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120. Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step S1303). Then, if the jackpot flag is not set (N in step S1303), the process proceeds to step S1309.

When the jackpot flag is set (Y in step S1303), the CPU 103 resets the probability change flag and the time saving flag (step S1304). Next, a jackpot start designation command and a right-handed display lighting command are transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1305).

In addition, referring to the opening pattern data stored in ROМ101, the number of opening times (for example, 5 times or 10 times), opening time (for example, 29 seconds), and between rounds are performed for the normal large winning opening and the V large winning opening. Data indicating an opening mode such as an interval time (for example, 0.5 seconds) is set in a predetermined storage area (step S1306). For example, in the case of a normal big hit of 3R, an opening mode for opening the normal big winning opening in all of 1 to 3R is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102. In the case of a probabilistic jackpot of 5R, an opening mode in which the normal large winning opening is opened at the 1st to 3rd rounds and the 5th round and the V large winning opening is opened at the 4th round is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102. Further, in the case of a probability variation jackpot of 10R, an opening mode in which the normal large winning opening is opened at the 1st to 8th Rs and the 10th R and the V large winning opening is opened at the 9th R is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102. .. The data of the number of times of opening (5 times or 10 times) is set in the number of times of opening counter for counting the number of times of opening.

Further, a value corresponding to the fanfare time (time for notifying the image display device 5 that a big hit has occurred), which is the big hit display time, is set in the big winning opening control timer (step S1307). After that, in the big hit opening pre-processing, the big winning opening control timer is subtracted by 1, and when it becomes 0, the big winning opening is opened and the round is started. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the jackpot opening pre-processing (step S114) (step S1308), and the processing is terminated.

If it is determined in step S1303 that the jackpot flag is not set (N in step S1304), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction state is set is set (step S1309). .. If the time saving flag is not set (N in step S1309), the process proceeds to step S1316. When the time saving flag is set (Y in step S1309), the counter value of the time saving number counter indicating the remaining number of fluctuations in the time saving state is subtracted by 1 (step S1310). Next, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the time reduction counter has become 0 (step S1311). When the value of the time reduction counter becomes 0 (Y in step S1311), it is determined that the duration of the time reduction state has ended, and the time reduction flag is reset (step S1312). As a result, when the variable display resulting in the loss display result is performed a specific number of times (100 times) in the reduced working hours state, the gaming state shifts from the reduced working hours state to the non-reduced working hours state. If the value of the time reduction counter is not 0 in step S1311 (N in step S1311), the process proceeds to step S1316.

After step S1312, it is determined whether or not the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is set is set (step S1313). If the probability change flag is set (Y in step S1313), the probability change flag is reset (step S1314). Next, the CPU 103 transmits a normal state designation command to the effect control CPU 120 in response to the transition of the gaming state from the reduced working hours state to the normal state (low probability / low base state) (step S1315), and in step S1316. move on. If the probability change flag is not set in step S1313 (N in step S1313), the process proceeds to step S1315 without performing the process of step S1314. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing (step S110) (step S1316), and the processing is terminated.

(Pre-processing for opening big hits)
FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot opening preprocessing. As shown in FIG. 26, in the big hit opening pre-processing, the CPU 103 sets the value of the big winning opening control timer by -1 (subtraction update) (step S1401). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the large winning opening control timer is 0 (step S1402), and if the value of the large winning opening control timer is not 0 (N in step S1402), the process ends.

When the value of the large winning opening control timer is 0 (Y in step S1402), a command indicating that the large winning opening is open is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1403). Then, the solenoid 82 is driven according to the opening pattern to open the normal large winning opening (step S1404). As a result, the large winning opening is usually opened in the 1st round.

Next, the CPU 103 sets the maximum time during which the large winning opening can be opened (large winning opening opening time) by the large winning opening control timer based on the opening pattern data (for example, the data stored in the RAM 102 in step S1306). The corresponding large winning opening opening time (for example, 29 seconds) is set (step S1405). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the jackpot opening process (step S115) (step S1406), and the process is terminated.

(Processing during jackpot opening)
FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing during the opening of the big hit. As shown in FIG. 27, in the big hit opening process, the CPU 103 sets the value of the big winning opening control timer by -1 (subtraction update) (step S1501).

Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the large winning opening control timer has become 0 (step S1502). When the value of the large winning opening control timer is 0 (Y in step S1502), the process proceeds to step S1511. When the value of the large winning opening control timer is not 0 (N in step S1502), it is determined whether or not the normal large winning opening or the V large winning opening is being opened (step S1503). Whether or not the normal large winning opening or the V large winning opening is open may be determined by the value of the opening count counter.

If it is determined in step S1503 that the normal large winning opening or the V large winning opening is not open (N in step S1503), the process ends.

If the normal large winning opening or the V large winning opening is open (Y in step S1503), it is determined whether or not the count switch 23 or the V winning switch 24 is turned on (step S1504). If neither the count switch 23 nor the V winning switch 24 is turned on (N in step S1504), the process ends. On the other hand, if either the count switch 23 or the V winning switch 24 is turned on (Y in step S1504), the winning number counter is incremented by +1 (addition update) (step S1505).

Next, it is determined whether or not the probability change determination flag is set (step S1506). The probability change determination flag is a flag set when it is determined that the probability change state is controlled when a V prize is generated. If the probability change determination flag is set (Y in step S1506), the process proceeds to step S1510. On the other hand, if the probability change determination flag is not set (N in step S1506), it is determined whether or not the V winning switch 24 is turned on (step S1507). If the V winning switch 24 is not turned on (N in step S1507), the process proceeds to step S1510. On the other hand, if the V winning switch is turned on (Y in step S1507), the probability change determination flag is set (step S1508), the probability change determination device passage designation command is transmitted (step S1509), and the process proceeds to step S1510. do.

Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the winning number counter is a predetermined number (for example, 10) (step S1510). If the value of the winning number counter is not a predetermined number (N in step S1510), the process ends.

When the value of the winning number counter is a predetermined number (Y in step S1510), the CPU 103 controls to drive the solenoid 82 to close the normal large winning opening, or drives the solenoid 83 to drive the V large winning opening. One of the controls for closing the solenoid is controlled (step S1511). Next, the CPU 103 performs a process of clearing (setting to 0) the value of the winning number counter (step S1512). Next, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the jackpot opening post-processing (step S116) (step S1513), and ends the processing.

(Post-processing after opening the jackpot)
FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an example of post-processing after opening the jackpot. As shown in FIG. 28, in the jackpot opening post-processing, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the opening count counter is 0 (step S1601).

If the value of the open count counter is 0 (Y in step S1601), the jackpot end designation mand is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1602), and the jackpot end time (the jackpot game is completed) is sent to the jackpot control timer. For example, a value corresponding to (time to be notified in the image display device 5) is set (step S1603), and the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot end process (step S117) (step S1604). End the process.

In step S1601, if the value of the open number counter is not 0 (N in step S1601), a designated mand is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 after opening the large winning opening (step S1605), and a round is sent to the large winning opening control timer. A value corresponding to the interval time from the end to the start of the next round is set (step S1606).

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the round before the round in which the V large winning opening is opened (also referred to as the V open round), that is, the next round is the V open round (step S1607). If it is not before the V opening round (N in step S1607), the solenoid 82 is driven to control the normal opening of the large winning opening (step S1608). On the other hand, when it is before the V opening round (Y in step S1607), the solenoid 83 is driven to control the opening of the V large winning opening (step S1609).

After step S1608 or step S1609, the CPU 103 transmits a designated mand during opening of the large winning opening to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1610). Then, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the jackpot opening process (step S115) (step S1611), and ends the process.

(Big hit end processing)
FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot end process. As shown in FIG. 29, in the jackpot end process, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the value of the jackpot control timer for which the jackpot end time is set (step S1701). Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the big winning opening control timer is 0 (whether or not the big hit end time has elapsed) (step S1702). If the value of the large winning opening control timer is not 0 (N in step S1702), the process ends. If the value of the big winning opening control timer is 0 (Y in step S1702), the big hit flag is reset (step S1703).

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the probability variation determination flag set by passing through the V winning region is set (step S1704). If the probability change determination flag is not set (N in step S1704), the process proceeds to step S1705. If the probability change determination flag is set in step S1704 (Y in step S1704), the probability change flag indicating the probability change state is set (step S1707). Next, a probability change state designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1708), the probability change determination flag is reset (step S1709), and the process proceeds to step S1710.

In step S1710, a time saving flag indicating that the time saving state is set is set (step S1710), and 100 is set in the time saving number counter (step S1711). Then, the process proceeds to step S1712.

On the other hand, if the probability change determination flag is not set in step S1704 (N in step S1704), the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction state is set is set in step S1705 (step S1705), and 100 is set in the time reduction counter. (Step S1706), and the process proceeds to step S1712.

In step S1712, a time saving state designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1712). Then, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step S110) (step S1713), and ends the process. It should be noted that the effect control CPU 120 side can recognize whether the game state is the probability change, the time saving, or the normal game state by the probability change state designation command or the like transmitted from the CPU 103.

[Main operation of the effect control board 12]
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described.

(Main processing of production control)
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. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control main process. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 30 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (N in step S73), 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 emit a prohibition command (DI command). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in, for example, the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt enable, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (Y in step S73), 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 processing 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. In addition, the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices is determined, determined, set, and the like according to the effect control command 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.

(Production control process processing)
FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process process. The effect control process process is a process executed in step S76 of FIG. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 31, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the read-ahead notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, 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 the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start 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. By 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 outputting commands (lamp control data) to the LED driver. 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. 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 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 the start of the jackpot game state is received, if the command specifies the start of the jackpot game state, 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 big hit 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 “4”. 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 “5”. 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 controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

(Variable display start setting process)
FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process. As shown in FIG. 32, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the result of the variable display is determined to be lost (step S7101). If the effect control CPU 120 is determined to be lost, it confirms whether or not a command corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern has been received as the fluctuation pattern command (step S7103).

When the effect control CPU 120 determines that a command corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern has been received, the effect control CPU 120 uses the loss symbol determination data table to determine the display result of the loss that does not reach as the final stop of the effect symbol (step). S7105), the process proceeds to step S7106.

When it is determined in the process of step S7103 that it is not a non-reach variation pattern (when it is determined that it is a reach variation pattern), a stop symbol of the effect symbol constituting the combination of reach symbols is determined (step S7104), and step S7106 Proceed to.

Further, when it is not decided to make a loss in the process of step S7101 (when it is decided to make a big hit), the effect control CPU 101 configures a combination of big hit symbols according to the type of big hit. The stop symbol of the effect symbol is determined (step S7102), and the process proceeds to step S7106.

Next, after executing the effect setting process (step S7106) for setting various effects in the variable display, the process proceeds to step S7107. For example, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not to execute an effect that suggests a big hit (incites whether or not it is a big hit) in the effect setting process of step S7106. Specifically, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not to execute the cut-in effect shown in FIG. 128 (r41), which will be described later, as an effect that suggests a big hit (incites whether or not it is a big hit). In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 101 specifies whether or not it develops into the final reach based on the fluctuation pattern specified by the fluctuation pattern command, and if it develops into the final reach, it is a big hit based on the fluctuation pattern. Determine whether or not to execute the cut-in effect based on the result of whether or not it is a specified jackpot, and determine the type of cut-in effect (red cut-in effect, green cut-in effect) when executing. do. When executing the cut-in effect, the effect control CPU 101 sets information for executing the cut-in effect in the effect setting process.

In step S7107, the effect control pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types of effect control patterns. In step S7107, the symbol variation control pattern is set according to the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern command and various effect control (effect operation) patterns specified by the effect control pattern of the effect determined in the process of step S7106. Among the plurality of types of symbol variation control patterns stored in the table, one of the effect control patterns corresponding to the specified various effect operation patterns is selected and determined as the pattern to be used.

In the control pattern table stored in the ROM 121, for example, the effect symbol in the display area of the image display device 5 during the period from the start of the change of the effect symbol to the stop display of the final stop symbol. Data showing the control contents of various production operations such as the fluctuation display operation, the effect display operation in the reach effect, the effect display operation by the pseudo-ream effect, and the effect display operation in the advance notice effect are stored as multiple types of symbol variation control patterns. Has been done.

Further, each symbol variation control pattern corresponds to the variation display of the effect symbol such as the effect control process timer setting value, the effect control process timer determination value, the effect display control data, the voice control data, the brightness data, and the end code. It includes control data for controlling various effect operations, and the contents of various effect controls and the switching timing of the effect control are set in chronological order.

Next, the process table corresponding to the effect control pattern is selected (step S7108). Then, the process timer (effect setting process timer) in the process data of the selected process table is started (step S7109).

After executing the process of step S7109, the effect device (image display device 5 as an effect component, various lamps as an effect component, and various lamps as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data (display control execution data, brightness data, sound number data), and Control of the speakers 8L, 8R) as production parts) is started (step S7110). For example, according to the display control execution data, the image display device 5 outputs a command to display an image (including an effect symbol) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. In addition, a control signal (lamp control data) is output to the LED driver in order to control lighting / extinguishing of light emitters such as various LEDs. 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 fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command is set in the fluctuation display time timer (step S7111), and the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S172). (Step S7112), the variable display start setting process ends.

<Details of the progress of the game>
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above, the game proceeds as follows. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the player first hits the left side to launch the game ball toward the first flow path passing through the area on the left side of the game area. When the fired game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game is started. As a result of the first special figure game, when the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 becomes a display mode showing a big hit symbol, a big hit occurs.

As described above, the types of jackpots in the first special figure game include normal jackpots 1 and 2, and probabilistic jackpots 1 to 4. When a big hit occurs, a fanfare effect is executed, and a right-handed promotion effect that urges the player to strike right is executed. As a right-handed promotion effect, characters (for example, "right-handed") and figures (for example, an arrow directed to the right, which is the direction of the second flow path) that encourage right-handedness are displayed on the screen of the image display device 5. In addition to displaying an image, the right-handed display unit 30 of the special figure LED board 20 and the right-handed display unit 55 of the fourth symbol unit 50 also prompt right-handed by lighting a lighting means such as an LED. As a result, the player will hit right after that.

During the round of the big hit game state, the big winning openings are opened for a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times in the case of a normal big hit of 3R and 10 times in the case of a probable big hit of 10R). One opening of the big winning opening is between the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). It will continue until the earlier timing.

When the ending effect after the big hit game state is completed, the game state is controlled to the reduced working hours state over a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times). Further, when a V prize is generated during the big hit round, the gaming state is controlled to the probable change state over a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) controlled in the time saving state.

Even in the probability change state or the time saving state after the big hit round, the right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55. For this reason, the player is always urged to hit right by the right-handed promotion effect even in the time-saving state after the big hit round is completed after the first big hit (also referred to as the first hit) occurs.

In the time-saving state, control is executed to shorten the average special map fluctuation time (period in which the special map is changed) from the normal state, and the average normal figure fluctuation time (period in which the normal map is changed) is executed. Is executed to be shorter than the normal state, and further, the control to improve the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the normal figure game is executed. Further, in the time saving state, the frequency at which the variable winning ball device 6B forming the second starting winning opening is opened is increased, so that the frequency at which the game ball enters the second starting winning opening is increased and the second starting is performed. Electric chew support control may be performed to facilitate winning (higher entry, higher frequency) to the winning opening.

In the time saving state after the big hit round, the second special figure game is started by the launched game ball entering the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B. As a result of the second special figure game, when the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 becomes a display mode showing a big hit symbol, a big hit (also referred to as a continuous chan hit) occurs.

As described above, there are 5 to 9 probabilistic jackpots as the types of jackpots in the second special figure game. When a big hit occurs, a fanfare effect is executed. The right-handed promotion effect by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55 has continued from the time of the first hit.

During the round of the big hit game state, the big winning opening is opened for a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times). One opening of the big winning opening is between the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). It will continue until the earlier timing.

Then, when the ending effect after the big hit game state is completed, the game state is controlled to the reduced time state and the probable change state (high probability high base state) over a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) as in the case of the first hit. Will be done. Even in the probable change state after the big hit round in the continuous chan, the right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55. For this reason, the player has a continuous chan hit in a probable change state or a time saving state after the big hit round is completed after the first hit occurs, and a probable change state or a time saving after the big hit round per the continuous chan is finished. Even in the state, you are always encouraged to hit right by the right-handed promotion effect.

The probabilistic state or time saving state after the big hit round of the first hit ends, and the probable change state or time saving state ends without a big hit occurring in either the probable change state or the time saving state after the big hit round per consecutive chan ends. Then, the gaming state is controlled to the normal state (low accuracy and low base state), and the right-handed promotion effect by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55 ends. As a result, the player hits the left again to launch the game ball toward the first flow path passing through the left area of the game area.

<Flow of production>
Next, the flow of a series of effects executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. FIG. 33 is a diagram for explaining the flow of a series of effects. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the notification effect is executed from the start of the variable display to the stop of the variable display. The notification effect is an effect of notifying the player whether or not the fluctuation of the special figure or the decorative symbol is stopped in a manner indicating a big hit, that is, whether or not it is controlled to the big hit gaming state. The notification effect is formed from a plurality of effect parts, and in the present embodiment, the start part, the fanfare part, the hit epilogue part, the lost epilogue part, the character action part, the relief hit part, the re-lottery part, and Includes fanfare repertoire. After the re-lottery part, it will be a fanfare repertoire that will be executed before the game shifts to the jackpot game state. In addition, the fanning part is also called the introduction part. In addition, the hit epilogue part and the lost epilogue part are collectively referred to as an epilogue part.

[Starting part]
The start part is a part in which the effect corresponding to the pre-variation pattern is executed. The start part is also a part indicating the period from the start of the fluctuation to the start of the SP reach after the pseudo-ream or the normal reach is executed. The start part also includes fluctuations that result in non-reach loss.

[Fan part (introduction part)]
The fanning part (introduction part) includes from the start of SP reach (also referred to as super reach) (the start timing of the title display of SP reach) to the timing of facing the branch of big hit or loss. In addition, the fanning part is a part that fuels whether it will be a big hit or a loss depending on the production to be performed. The fanning part corresponds to any of the SP first half reach A and SP first half reach B, which is executed after the start part, and the SP second half reach A, SP second half reach B, and SP final reach that develop from the SP first half reach. Includes parts. The SP first half reach A and the SP first half reach B may be collectively referred to as the SP first half, the SP second half reach A, the SP second half reach B, and the SP final reach collectively as the SP second half.

[Epilogue Part]
The epilogue part includes a hit epilogue part for notifying that a big hit display result will be obtained after each fanning part, and a loss epilogue part for notifying that a loss display result will be obtained. In the hit epilogue part, at least in the final part of the epilogue part, an effect by story development is executed so as to notify that the changing symbol becomes a big hit display result and is controlled to the big hit game state. In the lost epilogue part, at least in the final part of the epilogue part, an effect by story development is executed so as to notify that the changing symbol becomes a lost display result and is not controlled to the big hit game state.

In addition, in the epilogue part, the notification that the jackpot display result will be obtained is when the notification is made by moving the accessory when the hit / fail notification is performed after the introduction part, as in the final reach described later, and when the SP reach other than the final reach is notified. As described above, there are times when the notification is made by developing a story on the liquid crystal display (image display device 5) without using an accessory. Of the epilogue parts, the hit epilogue part that is notified by the movement of the accessory is also referred to as the success / failure notification part. Specifically, in the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, in the epilogue part executed after the introduction part, when a big hit occurs, the liquid crystal is used by the hit epilogue part as described above. It is notified that the jackpot game state is controlled as the ending of the story production, and if the jackpot does not occur, the loss epilogue part notifies that the jackpot gaming state is not controlled as the ending of the story production using the liquid crystal display. The first story development in the story production may suggest whether it is a hit or not. On the other hand, in the final reach, in the epilogue part executed after the introduction part, first of all, the branch of whether or not the character is controlled by the winning / failing notification part (the character operation part) is controlled to the big hit game state. After that, if a big hit occurs, the hit epilogue part as described above notifies that the story is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the end of the story production using the liquid crystal, and if the big hit does not occur, the liquid crystal is lost by the lost epilogue part. As the end of the story production using, it is notified that the jackpot game state is not controlled. As described above, the hit epilogue part in the final reach includes a hit / fail notification part and a hit epilogue part or a lost epilogue part that is visited thereafter.

Further, corresponding to the SP first half reach A, the hit epilogue part of the SP first half reach A and the lost epilogue part of the SP first half reach A are executed. Corresponding to the SP first half reach B, the hit epilogue part of the SP first half reach B and the lost epilogue part of the SP first half reach B are executed. Corresponding to the SP second half reach A, the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach A and the lost epilogue part of the SP second half reach A are executed. Corresponding to the SP second half reach B, the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B and the lost epilogue part of the SP second half reach B are executed. Corresponding to the SP final reach, the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach and the lost epilogue part of the SP final reach are executed.

[Character movement part]
The accessory movement part is a part corresponding to the period during the development of the latter half of the SP, in which the effect indicating that the movable body 32 is operated to develop from the first half of the SP to the second half of the SP is executed. The accessory movement part is executed after the fanning part of the SP reach first half A or the fanning part of the SP reach first half B. Then, after the character movement part, any one of the fanning part of the SP second half reach A, the fanning part of the SP second half reach B, and the fanning part of the SP final reach is executed.

[Part for relief]
The relief hit part is a part in which a relief hit effect is executed, which once pretends to be a loss and then suggests that it is a big hit. The relief hit part is a part that may develop from either the lost epilogue part of the SP second half reach A, the lost epilogue part of the SP second half reach B, or the lost epilogue part of the SP final reach.

[Re-lottery part]
The re-lottery part is a part executed after the hit epilogue part in which the jackpot display result is displayed. Specifically, the re-lottery production is the hit epilogue part of SP first half reach A, the hit epilogue part of SP reach first half B, the hit epilogue part of SP second half reach A, the hit epilogue part of SP second half reach B, and the SP final reach. Performed after the hit epilogue part and the relief hit part. In this embodiment, the re-lottery part is always executed after each winning part (winning epilogue part, relief winning part), but the re-lottery effect part may not be transferred. For example, the re-lottery part may not be executed after the relief part, the re-lottery part may not be executed after the hit epilogue part, or the jackpot display result may be a probabilistic symbol (probability change). When the odd-numbered symbol (shown) is derived, the re-lottery part may not be executed.

[Relationship before and after the decision of success or failure]
Next, an example will be described in which a series of effects are divided at the timing before and after the decision of success or failure. FIG. 34 is a diagram for explaining the relationship before and after the winning / failing decision, the SP first half reach A jackpot, and the SP final reach jackpot. Here, the winning / failing determination is an effect showing a branch of whether the jackpot display result or the loss display result is obtained at the final stage of the fanning part. As shown in FIG. 34 (A), the series of effects can be divided into parts that are executed before and after the winning / failing decision, before and after the winning / failing decision, from the start of the fluctuation to the stop of the fluctuation. The part before the decision of success or failure includes the start part and the fanning part. In addition, the part after the winning / failing decision includes an epilogue part (hit, lost), a relief hit part, and a re-lottery part.

In this way, the series of effects from the start of fluctuation to the stop of fluctuation is composed of a plurality of parts. It is also possible to divide the period from the start of fluctuation to the stop of fluctuation before and after the start of SP reach (start of post-variation). In such a case, before the start of SP reach corresponds to the above-mentioned fluctuation pattern of the pre-variation, and after the start of SP reach corresponds to the above-mentioned fluctuation pattern of the post-variation.

Next, the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 20, which is the fluctuation pattern of the SP first half reach A jackpot among the fluctuation patterns, will be described with reference to FIG. 34 (B). In the fluctuation pattern of the SP reach A jackpot in the first half of the SP, the start part is from the start of the fluctuation to the start of the SP reach (start of the rear fluctuation). Then, the period from the start of SP reach (start of post-variation) to the decision of success or failure is the fanning part (SP first half reach A). In the fluctuation pattern of the reach A jackpot in the first half of the SP, the accessory does not move at the timing of the winning / failing decision. Then, the epilogue part (per reach A in the first half of the SP) is from the decision of winning or failing to the start of the re-lottery production. Then, the re-lottery part is from the start of the re-lottery effect to the stop of the fluctuation. For example, in the fluctuation pattern of the SP first half reach A jackpot, the start part is 60 seconds, the fanning part (SP first half reach A) is 20 seconds, the epilogue part (SP first half reach A) is 15 seconds, and the re-lottery part is 20 seconds. The time is set so that it becomes.

Next, the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 26, which is the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot among the fluctuation patterns, will be described with reference to FIG. 34 (C). In the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the start part is from the start of the fluctuation to the start of the SP reach (the start of the post-variation). Then, the part from the start of SP reach (start of post-variation) to the development of the latter half of SP is the fanning part (reach A in the first half of SP). Then, the part from the development of the latter half of the SP to the decision of whether or not to win is the part (SP final reach). In the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the accessory does not move at the timing of the winning / failing decision. Then, the epilogue part (per SP final reach) is from the decision of winning or failing to the start of the re-lottery production. Then, the re-lottery part is from the start of the re-lottery effect to the stop of the fluctuation. For example, in the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the start part is 60 seconds, the fan part (SP first half reach A) is 20 seconds, the fan part (SP final reach) is 25 seconds, and the epilogue part (SP final reach) is 30 seconds. The time is set so that the second and the re-lottery part are 20 seconds.

As shown in FIGS. 34 (B) and 34 (C), the SP final reach, which has a higher expectation, has a longer fluctuation time than the SP first half reach A. In addition, the SP final reach, which has a higher expectation than the SP first half reach A, has a longer total fanning part time and epilogue part time. As a result, the higher the expectation of the fluctuation, the longer the period of inciting the player, and the longer the lingering time when hit, so that the feeling of blessing can be enhanced.

<Mechanism of output to LED driver (lamp driver)>
FIG. 52 is a diagram for explaining the mechanism of output to the LED driver. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12 turns on / blinks / turns off one or a plurality of lamps (LEDs) among the plurality of lamps (LEDs) included in the game effect lamp 9. The brightness data for making the LED driver (also referred to as a lamp driver) is output. In the following, the lighting / blinking / extinguishing control performed on a lamp such as an LED by the effect control CPU 120 is also referred to as lamp control. The LED driver adjusts the current flowing through each lamp in order to turn on / blink / turn off each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 to be controlled by the lamp based on the luminance data received from the effect control CPU 120. Each game effect lamp 9 is turned on / blinked / turned off based on the current adjusted by the LED driver.

More specifically, the ROM 121 and the RAM 122 of the effect control board 12 store a luminance data table in which the luminance data for controlling each game effect lamp 9 is stored. The brightness data table includes the brightness data table for error used when an error occurs, and the brightness for SP reach used in each part during SP reach (such as a fanning part, a hit epilogue part, a lost epilogue part, and an accessory operation part). Includes a data table and a background luminance data table.

Further, the background brightness data table includes a normal background brightness data table used in a low-accuracy low-base state (normal state), a fanfare background brightness data table used in a fanfare state in which a fanfare effect is executed, and a jackpot game. The brightness data table for the jackpot background used during the round of the state, the brightness data table for the ending background used in the ending state in which the ending effect for notifying the end of the jackpot gaming state is executed, and the high accuracy and high base state (probability variation). Includes a luminance data table for probabilistic backgrounds used in (state).

Each of the above-mentioned background luminance data tables is used without overlapping, and is controlled to any of a plurality of types of gaming states such as a normal state, a fanfare state, a jackpot gaming state, an ending state, and a probability variation state. Depending on whether or not, one of the background luminance data tables is used. That is, the effect control CPU 120 uses one of the background luminance data tables for each gaming state under control, and outputs the luminance data based on the background luminance data table to the LED driver. As a result, each game effect lamp 9 is ramp-controlled according to the game state being controlled.

Further, each of the luminance data table for error, the luminance data table for SP reach, and the luminance data table for background has a priority when used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 52, the priority is high when the luminance data table for error, the luminance data table for SP reach, and the luminance data table for background are used in this order.

For example, when the effect control CPU 120 develops into SP reach while outputting luminance data based on the normal background luminance data table in a normal state, the SP reach luminance data table corresponding to the SP reach is used as the normal background. The luminance data is output to the LED driver based on the SP reach luminance data table by preferentially using the luminance data table. As a result, when the game effect lamp 9 develops into SP reach when the game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled in a manner corresponding to the normal state based on the normal background brightness data table, the mode corresponding to SP reach based on the SP reach brightness data table. The game effect lamp 9 is controlled by the lamp. During the period when the brightness data based on the SP reach brightness data table is output to the LED driver, the brightness data based on the normal background brightness data table is not output to the LED driver, but usually after the SP reach is completed. When it returns to the state, the brightness data based on the normal background brightness data table is output to the LED driver, and when it becomes a big hit and the fanfare state is reached, the brightness data based on the fanfare background brightness data table is output to the LED driver. It is output.

More specifically, the effect control CPU 120 uses a background brightness data table corresponding to the game state under control while measuring the lamp control time corresponding to the game state under control by a timer, and is an LED driver. However, when it develops into SP reach or the like, the luminance data table for SP reach corresponding to the SP reach is preferentially used over the luminance data table for background, and the luminance data is output to the LED driver. During this time, the effect control CPU 120 keeps updating the timer value without stopping the time counting of the lamp control using the background luminance data table. That is, the effect control CPU 120 continues to update the brightness data included in the background brightness data table even while the game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled based on the SP reach brightness data table, but the background brightness Since the luminance data included in the data table has a lower priority than the luminance data included in the SP reach luminance data table, the luminance data included in the background luminance data table is not output to the LED driver. ing. Then, after the SP reach is completed, the effect control CPU 120 starts to output the luminance data included in the background luminance data table to the LED driver again from the continuation of the luminance data that has been continuously updated.

Further, for example, when an error occurs while the effect control CPU 120 is outputting luminance data based on the SP reach luminance data table during SP reach, the error luminance data table corresponding to the error is SP reach. It is used with priority over the luminance data table for error, and the luminance data is output to the LED driver based on the luminance data table for error. As a result, if an error occurs while the game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled in a manner corresponding to SP reach based on the SP reach brightness data table, the game effect is handled in a manner corresponding to the error based on the error brightness data table. The lamp 9 is lamp controlled. During the period when the brightness data based on the error brightness data table is output to the LED driver, the brightness data based on the SP reach brightness data table is not output to the LED driver, but the error is cleared and the SP reach is in progress again. When the game state is returned to, the luminance data based on the SP reach luminance data table is output to the LED driver.

More specifically, the effect control CPU 120 tells the LED driver the luminance data table for the SP reach corresponding to the SP reach while measuring the lamp control time corresponding to the SP reach under control by a timer. Data is output, but when an error occurs, the luminance data table for error corresponding to the error is used preferentially over the luminance data table for SP reach, and the luminance data is output to the LED driver. During this time, the effect control CPU 120 keeps updating the timer value without stopping the time counting of the lamp control using the SP reach luminance data table. That is, the effect control CPU 120 continues to update the brightness data included in the SP reach brightness data table even while the game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled based on the error brightness data table, but the SP reach Since the luminance data included in the luminance data table has a lower priority than the luminance data included in the error luminance data table, the luminance data included in the SP reach luminance data table should not be output to the LED driver. It has become. Then, after the error is cleared, the effect control CPU 120 starts to output the luminance data included in the SP reach luminance data table to the LED driver again from the continuation of the luminance data that has been continuously updated.

<Explanation of characteristic parts in the production mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1>
Next, the featured portion, the modified example, and the like in the production mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described in detail.

(Start 5)
The shutter described above is an image that makes the image of the effect executed behind by making it invisible by closing it, and makes the image of the effect executed by opening after closing visible. In addition, the shutter is executed at the timing related to the fanning part, that is, before the start of the fanning part. When the shutter is closed, the screen brightness is lowered as the visible area of the effect is narrowed, and when the shutter is opened, the screen brightness is reduced as the visible area of the effect is widened. Will be higher. According to this, the flow of the production can be shown favorably by giving reality when the shutter is closed and opened. In addition, although the image of the effect executed behind is made invisible or visible using the image of the shutter, the image may be an image other than the shutter, and the same effect is executed with the accessory. You may.

(Start 6)
Further, the shutter described above is in a mode of closing from the upper and lower edges of the screen toward the center of the screen. According to this, it is possible to preferably show an effect in which the screen brightness gradually changes. Further, the shutter may be closed from both ends of the screen toward the center like a sliding door. Further, the shutter may be closed from the upper end of the screen toward the lower end of the screen.

(Start 7)
Further, as shown in FIG. 58 described above, the image of the edge of the shutter is represented in black. According to this, it is possible to blur the boundary between the effect executed when the screen brightness is lowered and the edge of the shutter just before the shutter is completely closed as shown in FIG. 58 (a12), and to eliminate the sense of incongruity. .. Similarly, when the shutter as shown in FIG. 60 (a16) starts to open, the discomfort can be eliminated.

(Start 8)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 60 and 61 described above, after the shutter is opened, the reach of the first half of the SP is started. Until the shutter is fully opened, the effect of reaching the first half of the SP is not started and the screen brightness gradually increases, and after the shutter is released, the effect of the first half of the SP progresses. According to this, since the effect of the reach in the first half of the SP is an effect that the player wants to pay attention to, it is possible to prevent dissatisfaction caused by the effect being executed before the shutter is opened.

(Start 10)
Further, as shown in FIG. 57 (a9) described above, the brightness of the screen is lowered before the shutter closing is started, and the shutter is closed at the timing when the shutter is completely closed. .. Here, if the brightness of the screen is lowered at the timing when the shutter is closed, the speed of darkening of the screen may become too fast. Therefore, by starting to reduce the screen brightness in advance, it is possible to appropriately show a series of effects by making the speed of screen darkening appropriate.

(Start 12)
Further, until the shutter is released, the player does not know which SP first half reach will be started. According to this, it is possible to have an expectation as to which effect will be executed.

(Start 13)
It should be noted that the above-mentioned effect by the shutter may be executed at a timing other than the timing of developing in the first half of the SP. For example, the timing may be from the second re-variation to the third re-variation in the pseudo-ream. In addition, when the shutter is closed and then released, an icon image (for example, a green hold image) suggesting a change in the active hold, which is a hold display of the change, is displayed, and the active hold corresponds to the icon image. It may change (for example, change from blue to green). Further, the effect by the shutter may be executed at the timing of developing from the reach of the first half of the SP to the reach of the second half of the SP. According to this, it is possible to improve the interest of the production by the shutter.

(Start 15)
Further, in addition to the above-mentioned pattern in which the shutter closes and automatically opens, a pattern in which a button image is displayed after the shutter closes and the shutter is released by executing a button operation may be provided. According to this, since a plurality of types of effects by the shutter are provided, the interest of the effects by the shutter is improved.

(Fan 1)
In addition, the above-mentioned fanning part that fanned the success or failure was updated by the development in which the ally character and the enemy character alternately compete with each other (for example, SP first half reach B and SP second half reach B, etc.). There is a scene where a ally character is damaged in the production in such a fanning part. Further, in the production of such a fanning part, the image display switching interval is earlier than that of the epilogue part, and the number of image display switchings is also large. According to this, it is possible to make the fanning part look more suitable by making the fanning part develop faster than the epilogue part.

(Fan 2)
Further, as shown in FIG. 63 (b5) described above, in the fanning part, the dialogue of the ally character was generated at the very beginning, and the subtitles corresponding to the dialogue were displayed. According to this, the ally character can be suitably recognized in the fanning part.

(Fan 3)
The subtitle display of the ally character displayed first may be set so as to be displayed for a longer period than the subtitle display in another scene of the fanning part. According to this, the ally character can be firmly recognized.

(Fan 4)
Further, as shown in FIG. 67 (b17) described above, there is a scene in which the subtitles are not displayed when the ally character emits a line. According to this, it is possible to preferably show the subtitle display of the ally character displayed first, and more preferably show the screen display than adding the subtitle display to all the lines.

(Fan 5)
Further, in the above-mentioned fanning part, SP first half reach A and SP first half reach B as the first fanning part executed at the timing of the first half, and SP second half reach A as the second fanning part executed at the latter half timing. , SP second half reach B, SP final reach. Then, there are scenes in which the ally character plays an active part in both the first fanning part and the second fanning part. In addition, in any of the fanning parts, the dialogue of the ally character was generated at the very beginning, and the subtitles corresponding to the dialogue were displayed. According to this, the ally character can be suitably recognized regardless of the fanning part.

(Fan 6)
In addition, in the above-mentioned fanning part, Yumemu-chan's character plays an active part in the fanning part corresponding to the SP first half reach B, and Jam-chan and Nana-chan's characters play an active part in the fanning part corresponding to the SP second half reach B. There was a scene where he was active. Then, in the first half of the SP reach B, a line was generated by Yume-chan, an ally character who was active first, and the subtitles corresponding to the line were displayed. Further, in the second half of the SP reach B, a line was generated by the first active ally characters Jam and Nana, and the subtitles corresponding to the line were displayed. According to this, the ally character can be suitably recognized in any of the fanning parts. The number of active characters may be one or two or more. In addition, the characters that are active in the first half of the fanning part and the second half of the fanning part may be the same.

(Fan 11)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 63 (b5) and 63 (b6) described above, there is a scene in which each character emits a line under the situation where the ally character and the enemy character are displayed. Under such circumstances, the subtitle display for the dialogue has a certain size and is displayed at a certain display position. According to this, it is possible to reduce the chance that a bug or the like gets angry by not changing the display mode of the dialogue for each character.

(Fan cut-in 2)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 127 (r39) to 128 (r42), the subtitle display is displayed before the promotion display of the button image is displayed at the timing when the cut-in display is executed. According to this, since the button image can be continuously shown to the player who is watching the screen by paying attention to the subtitle display, it is possible not to miss the button image, and the cut-in display is preferably executed. Can be done.

(Fan cut-in 3)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 128 (r41) to 130 (r47) described above, the design is such that there is no dialogue during a predetermined period after the cut-in display is separated. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined period without dialogue, a dialogue is issued, and a subtitle is displayed for the dialogue. According to this, the player can concentrate on the production in the period after the cut-in display, and a suitable cut-in display can be obtained.

(Win / Fail 1)
Further, as shown in FIG. 132 (r54) described above, the scene of the decision of success or failure was between the fanning part and the epilogue part. Then, in the scene of winning / failing, the player is notified whether or not it is a big hit after the trigger is operated as an operating means. In addition, in the scene of winning or failing, the accessory was movable after the trigger operation in the case of a big hit. According to this, the interest of the production is improved by setting a suitable scene for determining whether or not the result is made by using the operating means.

(Win / Fail 2)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 130 (r47) to 132 (r54), the subtitles are displayed by the ally character before the image corresponding to the operating means is displayed, and then the screen corresponding to the operating means is displayed. The effect that was being executed becomes invisible. Then, the effect executed after that can be recognized again together with the image of the operating means. According to this, while giving an impact by displaying the introduction of the operating means on the entire screen, it is possible to display the effect that was firmly executed at the timing when the operating means can be operated, and to show the progress of the effect appropriately. ..

(Win / Fail 3)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 130 (r48) to 131 (r51), the introduction images (images of (r49) to (r50)) for enabling the operation means are being displayed. The production is in progress. According to this, by advancing the effect behind the scenes, it is possible to pay attention to the image (image of (r51)) in which the operating means can be operated, and also to pay attention to the development of the effect.

(Win / Fail 4)
Further, in FIGS. 132 (r51) to 132 (r54) described above, when the trigger image as the promotion display was displayed, the tail was slightly moved at each image change in the image of the explosion chew. In this way, the effect may be advanced while the promotion display is displayed. Here, as the progress of the production, the scene may be switched or the character may be moved instead of the tail moving. According to this, it is possible to pay attention to the development of the effect during the promotion display.

(Win / Fail 5)
In addition, the effect that progresses while the promotion display is displayed is slower than the effect that was executed before the promotion display was displayed. According to this, the player can pay attention to the promotion display for operating the operating means, and the promotion display and the progress of the production can be balanced. It should be noted that the effect progressing during the display of the promotion display may be slower than the effect progressing during the display of the introduced image. According to this, it is possible to make a difference in the progress speed of the effect between the display of the promotion display and the display of the introduced image.

(Win / Fail 6)
Further, it is preferable to apply an echo to the dialogue before the introduction image as shown in FIG. 130 (r47) is displayed. According to this, the player can be excited before the introductory image is displayed.

(Win 7)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 130 (r47) to 131 (r49), the introduced image is displayed after the subtitle display before the introduced image is displayed is deleted. According to this, it is possible to prevent the display timings of the introduced image and the subtitle display from overlapping.

(Win / Fail 14)
Further, from FIG. 95 (i36) to FIG. 96 (i39) described above, the image in which the two characters Yumemu-chan and Jam-chan are displayed is gradually enlarged and displayed, and at the timing of (i39), 1 The image is displayed still for a predetermined period. After that, if it is a big hit, the video of the hit epilogue part will be played, and if it is lost, the video of the lost epilogue part will be played. During the period in which one image is stationary and displayed for a predetermined period, one image can be diverted and used, so that it is possible to preferably agitate the scene of winning or failing while reducing the data capacity. During the period in which the images in which the two characters are displayed are gradually enlarged and displayed, as shown in FIGS. 95 (i36) to 96 (i39), many images (for example, 10 images) are displayed. You may use it.

(Win / Fail 16)
Further, from FIG. 131 (r49) to FIG. 132 (r54) described above, there is a display period of the introduced image in which the image corresponding to the stick controller 31A (trigger) is displayed in the center of the screen. After that, there is a period in which the promotion display for operating the trigger is displayed. During the display period of the promotion display, a plurality of images are gradually moved to make the character appear to be moving. After that, by operating the trigger in the scene of the branch of the hit / fail decision, the video of the hit epilogue part is played if it is a big hit, and the video of the lost epilogue part is played if it is lost. All of these periods are periods in which the image is dynamically displayed as if it were moving. According to this, a series of effects can be executed in a dynamic flow, and a suitable flow of effects can be obtained.

(Win / Fail 18)
Further, the hit epilogue part and the lost epilogue part after the scene of the winning / failing determination shown in FIGS. 133 (s1) to 136 (s10) and 137 (u1) to 138 (u4) will be described. In the hit epilogue part, the video corresponding to the hit epilogue part is played after the production of the character movement. Further, in the lost epilogue part, the screen goes dark after the effect corresponding to the lost epilogue part, and then returns to the normal screen. According to this, since it is a flow of switching a plurality of images after the scene of determining whether or not to win, it is possible to make a suitable flow of production.

(Epilogue 1)
The above-mentioned hit epilogue part is a part that does not shift at the time of loss, and there is a scene in which the enemy character is disadvantageous and a scene in which the ally character is advantageous. Further, in the hit epilogue part, the number of switching of the image display in the production is smaller than that in the fanning part. According to this, it is possible to execute an appropriate effect in each part, and it is possible to appropriately show the flow of a series of effects.

(Epilog 4)
As shown in FIG. 104 (n10) described above, subtitles are not added to the lines of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character is damaged in the fanning part. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 110 (o1), subtitles are added to the lines of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character in the hit epilogue part is damaged (the scene of catching a crab). According to this, the subtitle display that was not displayed in the fanning part is displayed in the hit epilogue part, so that the feeling of blessing can be emphasized.

(Epilogue 6)
As shown in FIGS. 134 (s5) to 134 (s6) described above, the subtitle display displayed in the hit epilogue part is designed to be displayed for a longer period than the subtitle display displayed in the fan part. According to this, by displaying the subtitle display in the final hit epilogue part for a long period of time, the player can be immersed in the afterglow of the big hit and the blessing can be emphasized. When displaying the subtitle display, the one with a large number of characters may be displayed longer than the case with a small number of characters. Even in such a case, if the same number of subtitles (for example, 5 characters) is displayed in the hit epilogue part and the fanning part, the subtitle display period is longer in the hit epilogue part. It should be designed as follows.

(Epilogue 15)
As shown in FIGS. 134 (s6) to 135 (s8) described above, the final subtitle display for the final dialogue in the hit epilogue part is designed to be erased before the patterning effect is executed. .. According to this, it is possible to prevent the subtitle display from being covered with the decorative pattern and to be misunderstood as a message in the effect of displaying the pattern. Therefore, the production in the hit epilogue part can be shown favorably.

(Epilogue 17)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, at the timing when the effect of displaying the pattern is completed and the player can recognize the decorative pattern, the decorative pattern and the image of the character displayed as the background become a still image. There is. According to this, it is possible to prevent the decorative pattern from becoming difficult to see because the background of the decorative pattern is a moving image.

(Epilogue 18)
As shown in FIG. 135 (s7) described above, the image flowing in the hit epilogue part becomes a still image at the timing before the effect of displaying the pattern is executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the symbol from becoming difficult to see from the timing of the start of the symbol output.

(Epilogue 19)
As shown in FIG. 135 (s7) described above, the still image displayed in the hit epilogue part has a special aspect of a graphic novel style. According to this, by adding an effect of a special aspect to the still image, it is possible to make a suitable hit epilogue part by emphasizing that the image is still and suggesting that the scene has been switched.

(Epilogue 21)
It is desirable that the subtitle display before the patterning shown in FIG. 134 (s6) described above does not have a fade effect that gradually erases the display. Here, for the subtitle display displayed at other timings, a fade effect may be added to gradually turn off the display. According to this, except for the final subtitle display, it is possible to switch effectively by adding a fade effect, and by instantly erasing the final subtitle display, the final subtitle display is covered with the decorative pattern. It is possible to prevent it from being misunderstood as a message in the production of the design. Therefore, the production in the hit epilogue part can be shown favorably.

(Epilogue 22)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, both the decorative design and the small design are displayed at the time of producing the design. Then, the effect image by the concentrated line is added to the decorative symbol, but the effect image is not added to the small symbol. Further, the decorative pattern has a higher priority than the decorative pattern and the effect image and is displayed on the front side. According to this, it is possible to recognize that the decorative symbol is being displayed in a variable manner by the small symbol while enhancing the effect of the effect image, and it is possible to make it a suitable hit epilogue part.

(Epilogue 23)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, both the decorative design and the small design are displayed at the time of producing the design. Here, the movements of the decorative symbol and the small symbol may be synchronized at the timing when the decorative symbol is finished. Specifically, during the symbol shaking period in which the decorative symbol has been finished and the symbol is swaying up and down, the small symbol may also be swayed up and down in the same motion as the decorative symbol. According to this, by matching the movements of the decorative pattern and the small pattern, it is possible to appropriately show the flow of the production in the hit epilogue part.

(Epilogue 24)
As shown in FIGS. 157 (B1) to 158 (B5) described above, both the decorative symbol and the small symbol are displayed at the time of producing the symbol in the re-lottery part. Then, the effect image by the concentrated line is added to the decorative symbol, but the effect image is not added to the small symbol. Further, the decorative pattern has a higher priority than the decorative pattern and the effect image and is displayed on the front side. According to this, it is possible to recognize that the decorative symbol is being displayed in a variable manner by the small symbol while enhancing the effect of the effect image.

(Epilogue 25)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, both the decorative symbol and the small symbol may be displayed in a state where the symbols are once aligned at the time of the effect of displaying the symbols. Then, in conjunction with the transition to the re-lottery part, both the decorative symbol and the small symbol may be changed again. According to this, it is possible to synchronize the decorative pattern and the small pattern to obtain a suitable display.

(Re-lottery production 3)
As shown in FIG. 142 (A5) described above, in the final state of the effect of displaying the symbol in the hit epilogue part, the decorative symbol is shaken and displayed, and the effect image by the concentrated line is added. Even when switching from that state to the background of the re-lottery effect as shown in (A6), the effect image by the concentrated line is still added. Further, the game effect lamp 9 switches from the smooth rainbow lighting to the extinguishing. In other words, from the design to the re-lottery effect, the design is such that the pattern shaking and the mode of the effect continue, and the background and the lamp are switched. According to this, it is possible to make it easy to understand from which decorative pattern the re-lottery effect started.

(Re-lottery production 6)
As shown in the flow shown in FIGS. 144 (A10) to 156 (A46) and 157 (B1) to 158 (B5) described above, in the re-lottery effect, the symbol feed is executed by the reduced size decorative symbol, and the button is pressed. Operation promotion display is displayed. Then, when the player operates the button, the effect of displaying the symbol in an enlarged manner is executed. That is, the decorative symbol that is finally notified from the moment when the symbol is put out is enlarged and displayed. According to this, since it is a symbol that is finally notified from the beginning of expansion, it is possible to clearly show the player what the final notification symbol is.

(Re-lottery production 16)
The above-mentioned symbolizing in the portions of FIGS. 141 (A1) to 142 (A5) and the symbolizing in the portions of FIGS. 161 (C1) to 162 (C5) are executed using substantially the same image. Specifically, the same image is used for the pattern output by the “2” symbol and the effect image, and the pattern output is executed in such a manner that the background portion is different. According to this, since the images of the symbols can be made substantially the same, it is possible to clearly show to the player that the symbols have not been promoted to the probabilistic symbols. In addition, the image of the pattern appearance portion including the background may be exactly the same.

(Re-lottery production 17)
In the above-mentioned effect of displaying the symbol, a series of effects of enlarging the symbol once and then setting the normal size at the center of the screen are executed. According to this, it is possible to preferably show a series of patterning effects by enlarging and reducing the pattern.

(Re-lottery production 18)
In the above-mentioned effect of patterning, common patterning data may be used for the data of the patterning effect in the hit epilogue part and the data of the patterning effect in the re-lottery effect. Then, a series of patterning effects may be executed by using the common patterning data and the combination of a plurality of decorative patterns. According to this, it is possible to reduce the data capacity while making the effect of patterning appear suitable. It should be noted that substantially the same data may be used for the data of the designing effect in the hit epilogue part and the data of the designing effect in the re-lottery effect.

<Detailed explanation of the production mode>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 165 to 191, the feature portions and modification examples that should be particularly mentioned will be described in detail with respect to the above-mentioned effect mode.

[About fanning 12, 13, 15]
In FIG. 165, the characteristic portions in the fanning part will be described by numbering them.

(Detailed explanatory view of parts (b11) to (b13))
FIG. 165 is a detailed explanatory view of the (b11) to (b13) portions of the SP first half reach A described above. As shown in FIG. 165 (b11), the relationship between Yumemu-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is that Yumemu-chan is on the left side and Bakuchu is on the right side in the left-right direction. According to this character arrangement, the left frame lamp will be lit green corresponding to Yumemu-chan, and the right frame lamp will be lit red corresponding to Baku Chu. In addition, in the state of (b11), Yumemu-chan's line "Wait" is output as the line sound, Yumemu-chan's footstep "Zazzazza" is output as the physical sound, and Baku Chu's footstep "Zazzazza" is output as the physical sound. "Tatata Tat" is output.

Further, as shown in (b11), the relationship between Yumemu-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is the relationship of Bakuchu in the front and Yumemu-chan in the rear in the front-back direction. The positional relationship seen by the player is that Baku Chu is near and Yumemu-chan is far away. On the other hand, the volume is related to Yumemu-chan's dialogue sound of "Wait"> Baku Chu's footsteps "Tatatatta"> Yumemu-chan's footsteps "Zazzazza". In this way, the volume data is set so that the dialogue sound of the distant Yumemu-chan is louder than the footsteps of the near Baku Chu.

In FIG. 165 (b12), the relationship between Yumemu-chan and Baku Chu on the screen is the same as in the state of (b11) in both the left-right direction and the front-back direction. In (b12), the dialogue sound is not output, but the footsteps of Yumemu-chan as a physical sound "Zazzazza" and the footsteps of Baku Chu as a physical sound "Tatatatta" are output. The relationship between the volume is "Baku Chu's footsteps" Tatatatta "> Yumemu-chan's footsteps" Zazzazza ". In this way, when the dialogue sound is not output, the volume data is set so that the footsteps of the near Baku Chu are louder than the footsteps of the distant Yumemu-chan so as to match the context on the screen.

In FIG. 165 (b13), the relationship between Yumemu-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is that Yumemu-chan is on the left side and Bakuchu is on the right side in the left-right direction. In the state of (b13), the dialogue of Baku Chu is output as the dialogue sound, "Catch Monka!", And the footstep of Yumemu-chan as the physical sound "Zazzazza" is output, and the footstep of Baku Chu as the physical sound. "Tatata Tat" is output. Further, as shown in (b13), the relationship between Yumemu-chan and Baku Chu on the screen is the relationship of Yumemu-chan in the front and Baku Chu in the rear in the front-back direction. The positional relationship seen by the player is that Yumemu-chan is near and Baku Chu is far away. On the other hand, the relationship of volume is the relationship of the dialogue sound of Baku Chu of "Catch Monka!"> The footsteps of Yumemu-chan "Zazzazza"> The footsteps of Baku Chu "Tatatatta". In this way, the volume data is set so that the dialogue sound of the distant Baku Chu is louder than the footsteps of the near Yumemu-chan.

(Fan 12)
In the fanning part, there is a scene where the SP reach BGM is output and the dialogue sound and the physical sound (also referred to as the operation sound) are output at the timing of overlapping. When the dialogue sound and the physical sound are output at the overlapping timing, the dialogue sound is output at a louder volume when it is output from the speakers 8L and 8R than the physical sound. According to this, while the physical sound is output as a part of the production to bring out the reality of the production, the content of the production is given to the player by outputting a large dialogue sound when the dialogue sound and the physical sound overlap. It can be easily communicated. Therefore, as a result, it is possible to make the production in the fanning part look better.

(Fan 13)
Here, a work process for actually making various effects in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. First, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a video for each production corresponding to a fluctuation time such as SP reach is created. Along with this video, directing sounds such as BGM, physical sounds, onomatopoeia, sound effects, and dialogue sounds are added one by one with dedicated software. The finished image and sound are played, and the strength of the sound is further added. In such a series of work processes, rather than outputting the sound with reality while keeping the actual sense of distance on the image, the sound is output ignoring the actual sense of distance that is easily transmitted to the player by discarding the reality. Sound data is set as follows. Thereby, a series of effects can be preferably shown.

(Fan 15)
In addition, when the dialogue sound of a character with a distant sense of distance from the player and the physical sound with a close sense of distance from the player overlap, the sound data is set so that the dialogue sound sounds louder than the physical sound. Has been done. As a result, the sound that ignores the actual sense of distance that is easily transmitted to the player by discarding the reality is output, so that the content of the production can be easily transmitted to the player.

[About fanning 14 and 16]
In FIGS. 166 and 167, the characteristic portions in the fanning part will be described by numbering.

(Explanation of volume level)
FIG. 166 is a diagram for explaining the volume level. As shown in FIG. 166 (A), among the sounds output from the pachinko gaming machine 1, the relationship between the dialogue sound, the physical sound (footstep sound), and the volume level in the SP reach BGM will be described. The output volume level has a relationship of dialogue sound> physical sound (footstep sound)> SP reach BGM. Further, when these three sounds overlap, the way of outputting the sound is different between the case of the dialogue sound with subtitles and the case of the dialogue sound without subtitles.

As shown in FIG. 166 (B), in the case of a dialogue sound with subtitles, the volume of the SP reach BGM is output at the timing when the dialogue sound (with subtitles), the physical sound, and the SP reach BGM overlap. It is controlled to reduce the level and output. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 166 (C), in the case of the dialogue sound without subtitles, when the dialogue sound (without subtitles), the physical sound and the BGM of SP reach are output at the overlapping timing, the dialogue sound> It is controlled to output without changing any volume level while maintaining the relationship of physical sound (footstep)> SP reach BGM.

(Fan 14)
In this way, when the physical sound of the character and the dialogue sound are output in an overlapping manner, the dialogue sound is adjusted and output so as to be heard louder than the physical sound. For example, when the physical sound and the dialogue sound are output in an overlapping manner, as shown in FIG. 166 (B), the SP reach BGM is adjusted to be reduced according to the output period of the dialogue sound. By doing so, it is possible to easily convey the content of the production to the player while giving reality.

(Fan 16)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 166 (B) and 166 (C), the dialogue sound has subtitles depending on whether the dialogue sound overlapping with the physical sound has subtitles or the dialogue sound overlapping with the physical sound has no subtitles. The case is adjusted so that it sounds louder by lowering the volume of the SP reach BGM. The dialogue sound with subtitles is more related to the content of SP reach than the dialogue sound without subtitles. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the production by outputting a large amount of the dialogue sound with subtitles related to the content of the SP reach.

(Explanation of volume level)
FIG. 167 is a diagram for explaining the volume level. FIG. 167 describes a method of effectively outputting the volume by a method different from that of FIG. 166. In FIG. 167 and FIG. 166, the relationship between the output volume levels is the same as dialogue sound> physical sound (footstep)> SP reach BGM. However, as shown in FIG. 167 (B), when the physical sound of the character and the dialogue sound are output in an overlapping manner, the dialogue sound is adjusted to be louder than the physical sound.

(Fan 16)
As shown in FIGS. 167 (B) and 167 (C), when the dialogue sound overlapping with the physical sound has subtitles and when the dialogue sound overlapping with the physical sound has no subtitles, the dialogue sound has subtitles. Only one is adjusted to increase the volume. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the production by outputting a large amount of dialogue sound with subtitles related to the content of SP reach.

[About fanning 7 and 8]

Is output as Nana-chan's dialogue sound, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r31'), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white three times in the scene where Nana handles from the screen.

(Detailed explanatory view of parts (r32) to (r35))
FIG. 170 is a detailed explanatory view of the (r32) to (r35) portions of the final reach described above. As shown in (r32), when the character of Jam is up, the game effect lamp 9 is lit in purple corresponding to Jam. After that, as shown in (r32), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in purple when the jam-chan performs the jumping action. At this time, "Torya!" Is output as Jam-chan's dialogue sound, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r32'), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white three times when Jam is handling from the screen.

After that, as shown in (r34), in the scene where Yumemu-chan's character is up, the game effect lamp 9 lights up in green corresponding to Yumemu-chan. After that, as shown in (r35), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in green in the scene where Yumemu-chan performs the jumping action. At this time, "Orya!" Is output as the dialogue sound of Yumemu-chan, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r35'), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white three times in the scene where Yume-chan is handling from the screen.

Here, in a scene such as r25, r27, r29, r31, r33, r35, the output line is a word that seems to be enthusiastic. And in these particular scenes, scene switching is faster than in other scenes. Also, in these particular scenes, subtitles are not directly related to story development compared to scenes with other subtitles. For these reasons, the subtitle display corresponding to the dialogue is not attached.

(Fan 7)
As shown in FIGS. 168 to 170, there are scenes in which the character emits lines but does not have subtitles in the fanning part (for example, scenes of r25, r27, r29, r31, r33, and r35). However, even in such a specific scene, the luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) of the game effect lamp 9 is designated so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. By doing so, even in a scene where subtitles are not displayed for the dialogue sound, the effect can be emphasized by the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. As a result, the effect corresponding to the character can be suitably executed, and the fanning part can be appropriately shown to the player.

(Fan 8)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 168 to 170, in a scene in which a character appears (for example, r24, r26, r28, r30, r32, r34), a color other than the color corresponding to the corresponding character in the preceding scene is used. The game effect lamp 9 is controlled to be turned on. Specifically, in front of the scene of (r24), the game effect lamp 9 is lit / blinked in yellow of (r22) or red of (r23), and then the game effect lamp 9 is in orange corresponding to the AD character. It will be a lighting scenario. Further, in front of the scene of (r26), the game effect lamp 9 is lit / blinked in orange of (r25) or white of (r25'), and then the game effect lamp 9 is lit in blue corresponding to the character of maid A. It becomes a scenario to do. Also, in front of the scene of (r28), the game effect lamp 9 is lit / blinked in blue of (r27) or white of (r27'), and then the game effect lamp 9 is in Hawaiian blue color corresponding to the character of Maid B. It will be a lighting scenario. Also, in front of the scene of (r30), the game effect lamp 9 is lit / blinked in Hawaiian blue color of (r29) or white of (r29'), and then the game effect lamp 9 is pink corresponding to Nana's character. Is a scenario that lights up. Also, in front of the scene of (r32), the game effect lamp 9 lights up / blinks in pink of (r31) or white of (r31'), and then the game effect lamp 9 lights up in purple corresponding to Jam-chan's character. It becomes a scenario to do. Also, in front of the scene of (r34), a scenario in which the game effect lamp 9 lights up in green corresponding to Yumemu-chan's character after the game effect lamp 9 lights up in purple (r33) or white (r33'). It becomes. In this way, after the control is performed to light the game effect lamp 9 in a color different from the color corresponding to the corresponding character before the character appears, the game effect lamp 9 is turned on in the color corresponding to the character. Control is done. Therefore, it is possible to express to the player in an easy-to-understand manner that the displayed character changes and which character the changed character is, and it can be a suitable fanning part.

[About Starts 1 to 4]
The characteristic portions of FIGS. 171 to 172 will be described by numbering them.

(Detailed explanatory view of the accessory operation in (b18) to (i1))
FIG. 171 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the accessory operation in (b18) to (i1). In the scene before the winning / failing determination shown in (b18), the game effect lamp 9 maintains the white lighting mode. After that, when developing into the reach of the latter half of the SP, the movable body 32 as an accessory operates. Specifically, an effect is performed in which the accessory falls while tilting diagonally from the upper part of the screen toward the front of the screen. As shown in (h1), a radial effect image is displayed on the screen at the start of the fall of the accessory. Due to the effect image, Yumemu-chan's character and the reduced "2" decorative pattern cannot be seen. Further, in the state of (h1), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red as the accessory falls.

After that, in the state of (h2), the character is further arranged so that the character "P" among the characters of the character is positioned up to the position where the reduced decorative pattern of "2" is displayed. Fall. In the state of (h2), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. Further, as a sound effect, a sound corresponding to the character corresponding to the fall of the character is output. After that, in the state of (h3), the position of the accessory is maintained at the drop position in the state of (h2). In the state of (h3), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red.

After that, as shown in (h4), the accessory starts to rise (the accessory moves from the advance position to the evacuation position). In the state of (h4), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in yellow. When the state (h3) is changed to the state of being retracted in (h4), the luminance data table output from the luminance data table of the accessory operation part to the luminance data table of the SP second half reach A (fanning part) changes. .. After that, in the state of (h5), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (h5), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in yellow.

FIG. 172 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the accessory operation in (b18) to (i1). After (h5), in the state of (h6), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (h6), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in yellow. After that, as shown in (h7), when the accessory is further raised, the effect image displayed corresponding to the accessory becomes lighter. As the effect image becomes lighter (the transmittance becomes higher), the background corresponding to the reach A in the latter half of the SP begins to be slightly visible. In the state of (h7), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in yellow. Further, as a sound effect, a sound corresponding to the latter half of SP, which is a BGM corresponding to the reach of the latter half of SP, is output. The sound effect related to the title in the latter half of the SP may be output together with the BGM. After that, in the state of (h8), the accessory is further increased from the state of (h7). In the state of (h8), the effect image is lighter than in the state of (h7), so that the background display becomes easier to see. In the state of (h8), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in yellow.

After that, in the state of (h9), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (h9), the effect image is lighter than in the state of (h8), so that the background display becomes easier to see. In the state of (h9), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in yellow. After that, in the state of (h10), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (h10), the effect image is lighter than in the state of (h9), so that the background display becomes easier to see. In the state of (h10), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in yellow. After that, in the state of (i1), the effect image disappears and the title corresponding to the start scene of the SP second half reach A is clearly displayed. In the state of (i1), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in yellow.

(Start 1)
As shown in FIGS. 171 and 172, the operation of the accessory switches the effect from the effect of the SP first half reach A to the effect of the SP second half reach A. In addition, an effect image corresponding to the accessory movement is displayed according to the movement of the accessory falling. After that, the display gradually switches from the effect image corresponding to the character movement to the screen corresponding to the SP second half reach A while the character is rising. Further, from the luminance data table of the accessory operation part (child table WD8 shown in FIG. 202 described later) to the luminance data table of the SP latter half reach A (child table WD9 shown in FIGS. 204 and 205 described later) while the accessory is rising. ) Is switched to the luminance data table. In addition, a sound corresponding to the latter half of the SP (for example, BGM in the latter half of the SP) is output while the accessory is rising. Here, the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation is displayed on the premise that the accessory is at a position where the accessory is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character returns to the initial position, the display will not look good. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the display from being spoiled by switching to the background display corresponding to the latter half of the SP by the time the accessory completes the return operation to the initial position. Further, since the sound effect and the luminance data table of the game effect lamp 9 are switched to those corresponding to the latter half of the SP while the accessory is returning to the initial position, the fanning part of the latter half of the SP can be suitably displayed.

(Start 2)
As shown in FIGS. 171 and 172, the operation of the accessory switches the effect from the effect of the SP first half reach A to the effect of the SP second half reach A. Further, before the operation of the accessory, the "2" symbol is reduced and displayed in the lower left and right corners of the screen. When the character moves, the character falls so that the character "P" among the characters of the character is positioned to the position where it overlaps with the place where the reduced "2" decorative pattern was displayed. do. Further, the effect image corresponding to the movement of the accessory is displayed in the priority layer in front of the reduced display of the "2" symbol according to the operation of dropping the accessory. Then, after the accessory rises from the drop position and the "2" symbol does not overlap with the accessory, the effect image gradually becomes thinner, and the background and "2" symbol corresponding to the SP second half reach A are displayed. It is displayed faintly. According to this, it is possible to prevent the display from being unattractive by displaying the reduced decorative pattern during the operation of the accessory. Further, the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation is displayed on the premise that the accessory is in a position where the accessory is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character returns to the initial position, the display will not look good. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the display from being spoiled by switching to the background display corresponding to the latter half of the SP by the time the accessory completes the return operation to the initial position. Further, since the decorative pattern reduced in the middle of the ascending of the accessory is displayed, it is possible to switch the appropriate effect according to the movement of the accessory.

(Start 3)
As shown in FIG. 171, the accessory operates and displays the effect image before reaching the position of the lowermost end of the fall. According to this, the reduced decorative pattern can be hidden at an early stage, and it is possible to switch a suitable effect with a character.

(Start 4)
In addition, when switching from the effect image to the image of the effect when developing in the latter half, the image related to the accessory may be displayed. Specifically, in the scenes corresponding to FIGS. 172 (h7) to (h10), the characters "POWERFULII" and the images of the main characters Yumemu-chan, Jam-chan, and Nana-chan when the character rises, etc. May be displayed. According to this, it is possible to show a suitable switching of the production with the accessory by giving the interlocking when the production is switched.

[About Epilogue 7, 8, 10-14, 20]
In FIGS. 173 to 174, the feature portions in the epilogue part will be described by numbering.

(Detailed explanatory view of the accessory operation in (r54) to (s4))
FIG. 173 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the accessory operation in (r54) to (s4). In the scene before the success / failure decision of (r54), the sound corresponding to the operation promotion is output, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. At this time, the operation image corresponding to the stick controller 31A (trigger) is displayed together with the character of Baku Chu on the screen. Further, at the lower part of the operation image, a time gauge is displayed as an operation promotion display for promoting the operation. When the player executes the operation of pulling the stick controller 31A within a predetermined period or the predetermined period elapses, the movable body 32 as an accessory operates. Specifically, an effect is performed in which the accessory falls while tilting diagonally from the upper part of the screen toward the front of the screen. Here, the time during which the accessory is falling in the success / failure notification scene is longer than the time during which the accessory is falling in the scene that develops in the latter half of the SP.

As shown in (s1), a radial effect image is displayed on the screen at the start of the fall of the accessory. This effect image has a more flashy production mode than the effect image when developing into the latter half of SP reach. Specifically, the effect image in the scene of the hit / fail notification as in (s1) is a rainbow color. The effect images in the scenes that develop in the latter half of the SP are blue and red. In addition, the effect image makes it impossible to visually recognize the character of Baku Chu and the reduced decorative pattern of "2". Further, in the state of (s1), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in a rainbow color in accordance with the fall of the accessory.

After that, in the state of (s2), the character falls so that the character "P" among the characters of the character is positioned to the position where the reduced decorative pattern of "2" is displayed. do. In the state of (s2), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in a rainbow color. After that, in the state of (s3), the position of the accessory is maintained at the drop position in the state of (s2). In the state of (s3), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in a rainbow color.

After that, as shown in (s3-2), the accessory starts to rise (the accessory moves from the advance position to the evacuation position). In the state of (s3-2), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. Brightness output from the brightness data table for the accessory operation of the hit epilogue part to the brightness data table for the hit epilogue of the hit epilogue part when the state of (s3) is changed to the retracted state of (s3-2). The data table changes. After that, in the state of (s3-3), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (s3-3), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white.

FIG. 174 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the accessory operation in (r54) to (s4). After (s3-3), in the state of (s3-4), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (s3-4), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, as shown in (s3-5), when the accessory is further raised, the effect image displayed corresponding to the accessory becomes lighter. As the effect image becomes lighter (the transmittance becomes higher), the background corresponding to the epilogue part at the end of the SP reach begins to be slightly visible. In the state of (s3-5), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. Further, as a sound effect, a sound corresponding to the hit epilogue part, which is a BGM corresponding to the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, is output. After that, in the state of (s3-6), the accessory is further increased from the state of (s3-5). In the state of (s3-6), the effect image becomes lighter than in the state of (s3-5), so that the background display becomes easier to see. In the state of (s3-6), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white.

After that, in the state of (s3-7), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (s3-7), the effect image becomes lighter than in the state of (s3-6), so that the background display becomes easier to see. In the state of (s3-7), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, in the state of (s3-8), the accessory is further raised. In the state of (s3-8), the effect image becomes lighter than in the state of (s3-7), so that the background display becomes easier to see. In the state of (s3-8), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, in the state of (s4), the scene where Yumemu-chan caught Baku Chu is displayed. At this time, the sound at the time of successful production is output as a sound effect. In addition, subtitles will be displayed along with the line "Uu, I was caught" from Baku Chu. In the state of (s4), the game effect lamp 9 lights up smoothly in a rainbow color.

(Epilogue 7)
As shown in FIGS. 173 to 174, the effect image corresponding to the accessory movement is displayed according to the movement of the accessory falling. After that, the accessory moves to the initial position according to a predetermined evacuation pattern. The display gradually switches from the effect image corresponding to the character movement to the screen corresponding to the SP final reach hit epilogue part while the character is rising. Here, the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation is displayed on the premise that the accessory is at a position where the accessory is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character returns to the initial position, the display will not look good. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the display from being spoiled by switching to the background display corresponding to the reach of the first half of the SP by the time the accessory completes the return operation to the initial position.

(Epilogue 8)
On the premise that the accessory returns to the initial position, the timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue is the rising timing related to the start timing of the return operation. According to this, since the display corresponding to the epilogue is switched at the timing related to the start of the return operation, the display of the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation ends before the accessory returns to the initial position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the situation where the effect image is displayed when the accessory returns to the initial position, and the aesthetic appearance of the production is not spoiled. The timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue may be the same as the timing at which the accessory starts to rise. Further, the accessory may perform a rotation operation or a movement operation at the falling position.

(Epilogue 10)
The BGM corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the return operation of the accessory to the initial position and the start of the display corresponding to the epilogue. According to this, the epilogue part can be suitably started by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by BGM.

(Epilogue 11)
The sound effect corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the return operation of the accessory to the initial position and the start of the display corresponding to the epilogue. According to this, the epilogue part can be suitably started by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by the sound effect.

(Epilogue 12)
The BGM and sound effect corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the return operation of the accessory to the initial position and the start of the display corresponding to the epilogue. According to this, the epilogue part can be suitably started by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by the BGM and the sound effect.

(Epilogue 13)
In the situation where the character returns to the initial position and the display corresponding to the epilogue is displayed, the dialogue sound is not output, and the dialogue sound is output and the subtitles are output in the epilogue display after the character returns to the initial position. It may be shown. According to this, it is possible to avoid displaying the subtitles at a timing when the subtitles are difficult to see, and to preferably execute the epilogue part.

(Epilogue 14)
At the timing when the accessory returns to the initial position, the dialogue sound may be output and the subtitles may be displayed in the epilogue display. According to this, the dialogue can be recognized firmly, and the epilogue part can be preferably executed.

(Epilogue 20)
As shown in FIGS. 173 to 174, the mode of the production is switched to the hit epilogue part by moving the accessory from the scene before the hit / miss decision in the fanning part. In addition, an effect image corresponding to the accessory movement is displayed according to the movement of the accessory falling. After that, the display gradually switches from the effect image corresponding to the character movement to the screen corresponding to the SP final reach hit epilogue part while the character is rising. Further, the luminance data table is switched from the luminance data table corresponding to the accessory operation to the luminance data table corresponding to the hit epilogue part while the accessory is rising. In addition, a hit epilogue part-corresponding sound is output while the accessory is rising. In addition, no dialogue sound is output when the background is displayed corresponding to the hit epilogue part that is displayed until the accessory changes to the initial position from (s3-5) to (s3-8). .. After that, in the state (s4) in which the movement of the accessory to the initial position is completed and the display of the effect image is completed, the dialogue sound is output and the subtitle display is displayed. Here, the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation is displayed on the premise that the accessory is at a position where the accessory is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character returns to the initial position, the display will not look good. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the display from being spoiled by switching to the background display corresponding to the epilogue part by the time the accessory completes the return operation to the initial position. Further, since the brightness data table of the sound effect and the game effect lamp 9 is switched to the one corresponding to the hit epilogue part during the ascent of the accessory, the hit epilogue part can be suitably displayed. Further, since the subtitle is displayed after the return operation to the initial position is completed, the hit epilogue part can be preferably displayed.

[About Epilogues 2, 3 and 5]
In FIG. 175, the feature portions in the epilogue part will be described by numbering them.

(Relationship between the number of subtitles and the number of lines)
FIG. 175 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the number of subtitles and the number of lines. FIG. 175 shows the number of lines of the character being produced and the number of subtitles corresponding to the lines in each SP reach type and the epilogue type corresponding to each SP reach. For example, in the case of reach A in the first half of SP, the number of lines is 8 and the number of subtitles is 5. Further, in the case of the hit epilogue part of the SP first half reach A, the number of subtitles is 1 for the number of lines 1. In the case of the lost epilogue part of reach A in the first half of SP, there are no lines, so there are no subtitles.

Further, in the case of the reach B in the first half of the SP, the number of subtitles is 3 for the number of lines of 5. Further, in the case of the hit epilogue part of the SP first half reach B, the number of subtitles is 3 for the number of lines 3. In the case of the lost epilogue part of reach B in the first half of SP, there are no lines, so there are no subtitles. Further, in the case of the SP latter half reach A, the number of subtitles is 14 for the number of lines 16. Further, in the case of the hit epilogue part of the SP latter half reach A, the number of subtitles is 1 for the number of lines 1. In the case of the lost epilogue part of the SP second half reach A, the number of subtitles is 1 for the number of lines 1.

Further, in the case of the reach B in the latter half of the SP, the number of subtitles is 7 for the number of lines 9. Further, in the case of the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B, the number of subtitles is 3 for the number of lines 3. In the case of the lost epilogue part of the SP second half reach B, the number of subtitles is 1 for the number of lines 1. Further, in the case of the SP final reach, the number of subtitles is 19 for the number of lines of 27. Further, in the case of the epilogue part that hits the final reach of the SP, the number of subtitles is 2 for the number of lines 2. In the case of the lost epilogue part of the SP final reach, the number of subtitles is 1 for the number of lines 1.

(Epilogue 2)
As shown in FIG. 175, the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character's dialogue in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character in SP reach, which is the fanning part. According to this, by displaying the subtitles firmly in the epilogue part, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is speaking. In addition, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to coordinate the feeling of blessing. In addition, since the screen changes more often in the fanning part than in the epilogue part, even if the subtitles are displayed, the display time will be shortened so that the production will not be disturbed by the auxiliary subtitle display. , It is possible to give the first priority to convey the effect by switching images. As a result, it is possible to perform a suitable effect in the fanning part.

(Epilog 3)
As shown in FIG. 175, the epilogue part is configured to always display subtitles for dialogue. According to this, the blessing can be emphasized by clearly showing what the character is speaking in the hit epilogue part.

(Epilog 5)
As shown in FIG. 175, there are a plurality of types of SP reach, which is a fanning part, and the development of each production is different and the number of lines is also different. However, in any SP reach, the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character's dialogue in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character in SP reach. According to this, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is speaking by firmly displaying the subtitles in the epilogue part regardless of which SP reach is executed. In addition, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to coordinate the feeling of blessing. In addition, since there are more screen changes in the fanning part than in the epilogue part, it is possible to prevent the production from being disturbed by the auxiliary subtitle display, with the first priority being to convey the production by switching images. .. As a result, it is possible to perform a suitable effect in the fanning part.

[About re-lottery production 1, 4, 5, 7-18]
In FIGS. 176 and 177, the characteristic portions in the re-lottery part will be described by numbering.

(Detailed explanation of the re-lottery part)
FIG. 176 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the portions (A1) to (A23) in the re-lottery part. FIG. 177 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the portions (A24) to (A46) in the re-lottery part.

When the jackpot display result is derived, the symbol is enlarged and displayed as shown in (A1) and (A2), and then the symbol is reduced as shown in (A3) and (A4). After that, as shown in (A5), the design becomes a normal size. Then, as shown in (A6), the background is switched to the background for the re-lottery effect, and the re-lottery effect starts. Here, from the state of (A5) to the state of (A6), the period in which the symbol is shaken is omitted. Specifically, when the design is the normal size, the design is shaking. Then, after reaching the normal size, the pattern shaking of the re-lottery part continues. At this time, at the timing related to the completion of the symbol output (for example, the timing immediately before the normal size, the timing after the normal size, the timing to start the symbol shaking, etc.), the game effect lamp 9 is set. It switches from blinking white to smooth lighting in rainbow color. As a result, it is possible to smoothly print out the symbol from the symbol to the re-lottery effect, shift to a smooth shaking period, and bless the pattern by emitting light from the screen and the lamp.

After that, as shown in (A7) and (A8), there is a shaking period in which the symbol swings up and down. After that, as shown in (A9) and (A10), the "2" symbol located in the center is once reduced. After that, all of "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" used as decorative patterns from (A11) to (A23) are displayed. High-speed fluctuation is performed at. After that, all of "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" used as decorative patterns are displayed again from (A10') to (A23'). High-speed fluctuations are performed in these embodiments.

Then, as shown in (A24), after all the decorations have been cycled for two cycles, the button image is slightly displayed together with the initially displayed "2" symbol. After that, from (A25) to (A46), the decorative pattern fluctuates at high speed as "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "1", and the passage of time. The time gauge displayed below the button image decreases according to. The time gauge is a display showing the validity period of the button operation. If the push button 31B is operated within the operation valid period, or if the push button 31B is not operated within the operation valid period and the effective period of the button operation ends, an odd number is shown as shown in FIGS. 157 to 164. The symbol or even symbol is derived and displayed, and the game shifts to a big hit.

(Re-lottery production 1)
As shown in FIG. 176, in the re-lottery effect, the "2" symbol that was temporarily stopped and displayed before the re-lottery is enlarged, reduced, and shaken, and then the "2" symbol is used as it is for the re-lottery. The production starts. At the start of the re-extraction effect, the "2" symbol is reduced, and the change of the re-lottery effect is started from the reduced "2" symbol. During the re-lottery effect, a symbol feed effect is executed in which the symbols are replaced by high-speed fluctuations from the "2" symbol. By doing so, the re-lottery effect is started using the decorative symbol that was once temporarily stopped and displayed, and at the start of the re-lottery effect, the symbol feed effect is executed using the symbol that was once temporarily stopped and displayed. It is easy for the player to know from which decorative pattern the re-lottery started. As a result, it is possible to show the flow of a series of productions well.

(Re-lottery production 4)
At the start of the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, the variation starts from the reduced state of the decorative symbol that has been displayed from the hit epilogue part. According to this, it is possible to show the flow of a series of effects well without executing the process of changing to a different decorative pattern.

(Re-lottery production 5)
In the symbol feed effect, the variation is started by the reduced symbol, and the size of the variable symbol is a uniform reduced size. According to this, the appearance of the fluctuation at the time of the pattern feed effect can be smoothed, and the flow of a series of effects can be clearly shown.

(Re-lottery production 7)
As shown in FIG. 176, in the re-lottery effect, the "2" symbol that was temporarily stopped and displayed before the re-lottery is enlarged, reduced, and shaken, and then the "2" symbol is used as it is for the re-lottery. The production starts. At the start of the re-extraction effect, the "2" symbol is reduced, and the change of the re-lottery effect is started from the reduced "2" symbol. During the re-lottery effect, a symbol feed effect is executed in which the symbols are replaced by high-speed fluctuations from the "2" symbol. Then, during the re-lottery production, all the decorative symbols such as "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" are sent in order, and then "2" is sent again. The symbol feed effect in which the symbol is displayed is executed. In this way, the re-lottery effect is started using the decorative symbol that was once temporarily stopped, and the decorative symbol that was initially temporarily stopped is displayed again after the variation of the plurality of types of decorative symbols. According to this, the flow of a series of effects can be clearly shown by the symbol feed effect in which the final display result is not displayed immediately and all the decorative patterns are shown.

(Re-lottery production 8)
In the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, all the decorative symbols such as "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" are sent in order, and then "2" again. , "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "1" and all the decorative patterns are sent in order. In this way, since the numbers of the decorative patterns are sent in order, it is possible to show the flow of a series of productions well.

(Re-lottery production 9)
In the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, all the symbols are displayed by the transparency of the symbol when temporarily stopped, and the transparency is increased during the fluctuation. Specifically, a "2" symbol with 0% transmittance, a "2" symbol with 50% transmittance, a "3" symbol with 0% transmittance, a "3" symbol with 50% transmittance, and transparency. The symbols are switched, such as a "4" symbol with a degree of 0% and a "4" symbol with a transmittance of 50%. According to this, all the symbols can be displayed exactly in a mode with low transparency during the symbol feed effect, so that it is possible to grasp what kind of symbol is being sent.

(Re-lottery production 10)
In the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, all the decorative symbols such as "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" are sent in order, but each symbol is sent. The displayed times are the same. According to this, all the symbols can be displayed for a certain period of time, and the flow of a series of productions can be clearly shown.

(Re-lottery production 11)
During the symbol feed effect, the promotion display formed from the button image and the time gauge is displayed. The position where the promotion display is displayed does not overlap with the position where the variation of the decorative symbol during the symbol feed effect is displayed. By doing so, since the promotion display does not overlap with the decorative symbol during the symbol feed effect, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the symbol feed. It should be noted that a part of the promotion display may partially overlap with the decorative pattern during the pattern feed effect.

(Re-lottery production 12)
As shown in FIGS. 176 and 177, the promotion display starts to be displayed at (A24) and (A25) after repeating the variation of displaying all the decorative symbols during the symbol feed effect twice. Since the promotion image is not displayed until the predetermined symbol feed pattern is repeated twice, the player can be made to firmly recognize the symbol feed effect.

(Re-lottery production 13)
The symbol at the start of the re-lottery effect may be other than the two symbols. Even in such a case, the timing at which the button image as the operation promotion display is displayed is constant. For example, in the case of two symbols, the timing at which the operation promotion display is displayed is the timing at which the two symbols are displayed again. Similarly, in the case of the five symbols, the timing at which the operation promotion display is displayed may be the timing at which the five symbols are displayed again. That is, the number of symbols sent is the same regardless of which symbol starts the re-lottery effect. According to this, since the control can be made constant, the processing load can be reduced.

(Re-lottery production 14)
In the lottery effect, a pattern that displays an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols) and then an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols), and a pattern that displays an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols) and then an odd numbered symbol (for example, 3 symbols) are displayed. It was provided. In addition to this, a pattern for displaying an odd numbered symbol (for example, 7 symbols) after displaying an odd numbered symbol (for example, 7 symbols) may be provided. In the effect of sending a symbol from an odd-numbered symbol to an odd-numbered symbol, the same odd-numbered symbol may be sent at the time of symbol feeding. However, regardless of the pattern, the scale of the effect of the symbol feed period in the re-lottery effect may be the same design. According to this, it is possible to obtain a suitable re-lottery effect for any pattern without increasing the data capacity.

(Re-lottery production 15)
In the lottery effect, a pattern that displays an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols) and then an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols), a pattern that displays an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols) and then an odd numbered symbol (for example, 3 symbols), Common data is used for any of the patterns in which the odd-numbered symbols (for example, 7 symbols) are displayed and then the odd-numbered symbols (for example, 7 symbols) are displayed. In other words, the production data is the same, and the design is such that the data related to the decorative pattern is changed according to the pattern. According to this, since it is not necessary to provide a dedicated pattern, the amount of data can be reduced.

[About fanning 21-27]
In FIGS. 178 to 181, the characteristic portions in the fanning part will be described by numbering.

(Fade effect)
FIG. 178 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the portions (b4) to (b6) in the fanning part and a comparison diagram during the jackpot round. In the fanning part, a fade effect is added to the subtitles for the lines. The fade effect is an effect composed of a fade-in in which the display gradually becomes clear and a fade-out in which the display is gradually erased. In FIG. 178 (A), a part of the effect to which the fade effect is added in the SP first half reach A, which is the fanning part, will be described.

In the state of (b4), the screen where Yumemu-chan and Baku Chu confront each other is displayed. After that, as shown in (b4'), the subtitle of "I found it" corresponding to Yumemu-chan's line is displayed with a transmittance of 70%. After that, as shown in (b5), the subtitle of "I found it" corresponding to Yumemu-chan's line is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. In this way, the fade-in effect is added when the subtitles corresponding to the dialogue are displayed. In the state of (b4'), the dialogue sound of "I found" is not output, and the dialogue sound is output when the subtitle transmittance is 0% as in the state of (b5). ..

After that, as shown in (b5'), the transparency of "found" corresponding to the line of Baku Chu is in the layer under the subtitle of "found" corresponding to the line of Yumemu-chan with a transmittance of 0%. Subtitles with a rate of 70% are displayed with a fade-in effect. After that, as shown in (b5 ″), the transmittance of the subtitle “found” and the transmittance of the subtitle “found” are both displayed in a state of 40%. After that, as shown in (b6), the subtitle of "found" corresponding to the dialogue of Baku Chu is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. In this way, the subtitle "I found it" corresponding to Yumemu-chan's lines gradually fades out from (b5') to (b6). On the other hand, the subtitles of "found" corresponding to the lines of Baku Chu gradually fade in from (b5') to (b6). In addition, in the state of (b5') and (b5''), the serif sound of "found" is not output, and the serif sound is produced when the subtitle transmittance is 0% as in the state of (b6). There is output.

As shown in FIG. 178, during the jackpot round, the effect of the character singing along with the music is executed. For example, in FIG. 178 (B), subtitles (lyrics) are displayed as "I'm sure I'll get it someday" as the song sung by Nana progresses. Immediately after that, the subtitles (lyrics) are displayed as the song progresses, saying "grab with this little hand". If such subtitles (lyrics) during the jackpot round are displayed continuously, the fade effect is not added. This is because when the music is playing, the progress of the music can be understood by the rhythm, so even if the subtitles (lyrics) are switched without adding a fade effect, the timing of switching is easy to understand.

(Fan 21)
In the fanning part, as shown in FIG. 178 (A), there is a scene in which subtitles are displayed for the dialogue of the character. When the subtitles are displayed, there is a period in which the display period of the first subtitle displayed first and the display period of the second subtitle displayed next overlap each other. A fade effect is added when the first subtitle and the second subtitle are displayed so as to overlap each other. Due to the fade effect, changes occur when the transmittance of the displayed characters is different. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, the change of the subtitles can be easily understood by the fade effect, so that the switching of the subtitles can be easily understood.

(Fan 22)
As shown in FIG. 178 (A), in the scene where the characters face each other, the first subtitle corresponding to the dialogue of one character is displayed, and then the second subtitle corresponding to the dialogue of another character is displayed. There are times. In this case, the second subtitle is displayed overlapping the place where the first subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 0% and the second subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 70%. After that, the first subtitle fades out, the second subtitle fades in, and the transmittance is displayed as 0%. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, it is easy to understand the switching of the subtitles due to the fade effect.

(Transformation example of subtitle display)
When the first subtitle and the second subtitle are displayed at the overlapping timing, the fade effect may be added to one of the two subtitles instead of the fade effect to both of the two subtitles. .. Specifically, a pattern in which the first subtitle display does not have a fade effect but a second subtitle display has a fade effect, the first subtitle display has a fade effect, and the second subtitle display has a fade effect. A pattern without the subtitles is conceivable. One of the patterns may be applied by substituting the above-mentioned first subtitle display with a fade effect and replacing the second subtitle display with a pattern having a fade effect. Further, when adding a fade effect, the second subtitle display may be superimposed on the first subtitle display, or the second subtitle display may be superimposed under the first subtitle display.

Further, regarding the case where the subtitles are displayed at the same timing, the subtitles for the lines of the first character and the second character have been described. However, when the same character continuously emits lines, the subtitle display for the first line may be overlapped with the subtitle display for the second line. In such a case, a fade effect may be added to the subtitle display.

(Fan 24)
As shown in FIG. 178, during the jackpot round, the effect of the character singing along with the music is executed. Then, subtitles (lyrics) are displayed as the song progresses. However, during the jackpot round, the fade effect is not added even if the subtitles (lyrics) are displayed continuously. This is because when the music is playing, the progress of the music can be understood by the rhythm, so even if the subtitles (lyrics) are switched without adding a fade effect, the timing of switching is easy to understand. Further, since the music during the jackpot round is a representative music of the content mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, the lyrics displayed next are easy for the player to understand even if the fade effect is not added. According to this, the work of adding the fade effect can be omitted during the big hit round, and a series of productions can be shown well.

(Relationship between subtitle transmittance and sound output)
FIG. 179 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the transmittance of subtitles for dialogue and the output of sound. FIG. 179 shows the situation when the line "I found" of Yumemu-chan in FIG. 178 (A) and the line "found" of Baku Chu are issued. In FIG. 179, the horizontal axis of the graph indicates the number of frames. The subtitle of "I found it" is displayed with a transmittance of 70% after one frame from the transmittance of 100%. Further, one frame later, the transmittance is displayed at 0%. As a result, the subtitle "I found it" is displayed with a fade-in effect over a period of two frames. During this period, the line sound of "I found it" was not output.

After that, the subtitles of "I found" are displayed with a transmittance of 0% while the dialogue sound of "I found" is output. Then, in the period of T1 which is a silent period of 3 frames after the output of the dialogue sound of "found" is completed, the subtitle of "found" is continuously displayed with a transmittance of 0% for 2 frames. .. After that, the subtitle of "I found it" is displayed with a transmittance of 0% to 100% for the remaining 1 frame of T1. As a result, the subtitle of "I found it" is displayed with a fade-out effect over a period of one frame.

Also, during the T1 period, the "found" dialogue sound is not output, but the "found" subtitles have a fade-in effect starting from one frame after the start of the T1 period. Is displayed. Specifically, the "found" subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 100% to 70% after one frame. Further, one frame later, the transmittance is displayed at 0%. This causes the "found" subtitles to be displayed with a fade-in effect over a two-frame period.

After that, during the period when the "found" dialogue sound is output, the "found" subtitles are displayed with a transmittance of 0%. Then, in the period of T2, which is a silent period of 3 frames after the output of the "found" serif sound is completed, the subtitle of "found" is continuously displayed with a transmittance of 0% for 2 frames. Then, for the remaining 1 frame of T2, the "found" subtitles are displayed with a transmittance of 0% to 100%. As a result, the "found" subtitles are displayed with a fade-out effect over a period of one frame.

As shown in FIG. 179, the first subtitle of "found" corresponding to Yumemu-chan's character and the second subtitle of "found" corresponding to the character of Baku Chu have the same fade-in and fade-out fades. The effect is attached. Further, the fade-in is executed over a period of two frames, while the fade-out is executed over a period of one frame.

(Fan 23)
As shown in FIG. 179, the output timing of the dialogue sound corresponding to the second subtitle of "found" is displayed so that the first subtitle and the second subtitle overlap, and are output during the period when the fade effect is applied. Not done. Then, the serif sound corresponding to the second subtitle is output from the time when the second subtitle is displayed with the transmittance of 0%. According to this, it is easy to understand the switching of subtitles due to the fade effect, and since the dialogue sound is output after the second subtitle is displayed, it is possible to easily grasp the content of the effect visually and audibly.

(Comparison of subtitles in the fanning part and the epilogue part)
FIG. 180 is a detailed explanatory view of the portions (b4) to (b6) and a detailed explanatory diagram of the portions (o3) to (o5). FIG. 180 (A) is a detailed explanatory view of the portions (b4) to (b6) in the fanning part. Further, FIG. 180 (B) is a detailed explanatory view of the portions (o3) to (o5). FIGS. 180 (A) and 180 (B) have in common that the subtitles are continuously displayed for the lines emitted by the two characters. However, the period from the display of the first subtitle to the display of the second subtitle is different between FIGS. 180 (A) and 180 (B).

As shown in FIG. 180 (A), in the portions (b4) to (b7), in (b4), Yumemu-chan and Baku Chu are displayed facing each other. After that, in (b5), the first subtitle corresponding to Yumemu-chan's line "I found it" is displayed. Then, in (b6), the second subtitle corresponding to the line "found" of Baku Chu is displayed. After that, in (b6'), Yume-chan is enlarged and displayed on the screen. After that, the subtitles corresponding to Yumemu-chan's line "I'll catch you!" Are displayed. The time t1 from the start of (b4) to the end of (b6) is about 3 seconds.

As shown in FIG. 180 (B), in the parts (o3) to (o5), in (o3), the shop where the crab that was defeated with Jam and Nana became a signboard is displayed, and Jam's line "Good". The first subtitle corresponding to "Signboard" is displayed. After that, from (o3 ′) to (o3 ″), the background of the shop with the crab without subtitles as a signboard is displayed. After that, in (o4), the second subtitle corresponding to Nana-chan's line "Work hard" is displayed. After that, the background of the shop where the crab became a signboard becomes a still image. The time t1 from the start of (o3) to the end of (o5) is about 10 seconds.

As shown in FIGS. 180 (A) and 180 (B), the subtitles corresponding to the dialogue are displayed a plurality of times in one scene (a period of 0 to t1 or a period of 0 to t2) in the fanning part and the epilogue part. In some cases. When the subtitles are displayed multiple times and there is a margin in the time scale, it is conceivable that the subtitle display once displayed may be erased to make it easier to understand the switching of the subtitle display. However, if there is no time to spare, such as during the period from 0 to t1, it is difficult to take measures to temporarily erase the subtitle display. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 178 and 179, it is possible to make it easy to understand the switching of subtitles by adding a fade effect to the subtitle display.

Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a video is first created, and then voice such as dialogue is added. After that, the subtitle display corresponding to each line is attached. Assuming that it takes time and effort to recreate a video in which the period for temporarily erasing the subtitle display is lengthened in the period from 0 to t1 where a large amount of time cannot be taken. Therefore, by adding a fade effect, it is possible to make it easier to understand the switching of subtitles without recreating the video. In addition, even if there is a margin in the time scale such as the epilogue part when the shop with the crab signboard is displayed, by adding a uniform fade effect, the overall work load is reduced and when switching subtitles It is possible to prevent the feeling of strangeness from occurring.

(Fan 26)
As shown in FIG. 180, a fade effect is added to the subtitle display even in a predetermined scene in the portion (o3) to (o5) where the first subtitle and the second subtitle do not cover. As for the fade effect, at least one of the fade-in effect and the fade-out effect may be added. In the subtitle display created after the video is created, it takes time and effort to add a fade effect depending on whether or not the subtitle display is covered. Therefore, by uniformly applying a fade effect to the subtitle display, it is possible to prevent the work load from increasing.

(Fan 25)
Here, although not shown, the timing of subtitle display may overlap even in the epilogue part. However, as shown in FIG. 180, in the epilogue part, there are many scenes in which the period from the subtitle display to the subtitle display is longer than that in the fan part. This is because the fanning part progresses quickly, and the epilogue part does not progress as fast as the fanning part. As a result, the ratio of the fanned part to be displayed at the timing when the subtitles are overlapped is higher than that of the epilogue part. In such a case, by effectively adding a fade effect to the subtitle display, it is possible to prevent a sense of discomfort when switching the subtitles.

[About fanning 27]
In FIG. 181, the characteristic portion in the fanning part will be described by numbering.

(Fan 27)
FIG. 181 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example of subtitle display. For example, as shown in Comparative Example 1 of FIG. 181 (A), subtitles for similar lines such as "found" and "found" may be continuously displayed. In such a case, if the subtitle display is switched without any fade effect and without a blank period, it becomes difficult to understand the switching of the subtitle display. In addition, regarding the display of subtitles for long lines and the display of subtitles for fast-moving lines, there is a possibility that a sense of incongruity may occur when the subtitles are switched without providing a blank period. In such a case, the discomfort can be eliminated by adding a fade effect to the subtitle display. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 2 of FIG. 181 (B), it is conceivable to superimpose "found" on the subtitle display of "found" and then display "found". In such a case, the subtitle display becomes difficult to see by not adding the fade effect. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 3 of FIG. 181 (C), it is conceivable to display the subtitle display of "found" and the subtitle display of "found" in two upper and lower rows. In such a case, the subtitle display reduces the display area of the effect, which hinders the effect in areas other than the area where the subtitle display is displayed. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, such a problem can be solved by adding a fade effect to the subtitle display.

[About Epilogue 23]
In FIG. 182, the feature portions in the epilogue part will be described by numbering them.

FIG. 182 is a detailed explanatory view of the portions (B4) to (B11). With reference to FIG. 182, the correspondence between the effect using the decorative pattern or the small pattern on the screen and the effect using the game effect lamp 9 will be described. As shown in (B4), the enlarged "3" symbol is reduced in the effect of displaying the symbol of the re-lottery part. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time blinks in white. Then, as shown in (B5), the "3" symbol is displayed in normal size. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time blinks in a rainbow color. Then, as shown in (B6), the "3" symbol is slightly shaken up and down and displayed. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time blinks in a rainbow color.

Then, as shown in (B7), the screen changes from the background for re-lottery to the normal background, and in this normal background, the "3" symbol is continuously slightly shaken up and down and displayed. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time blinks in a rainbow color. After that, as shown in (B8), the decorative symbol and the small symbol are confirmed and stopped based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time blinks in a rainbow color. As shown in (B9), the symbol determination period continues for a predetermined period (for example, 0.5 s), and the same display as in (B8) is maintained on the screen. As for the mode of the game effect lamp 9 at this time, the lighting mode of blinking the rainbow color is maintained.

After that, based on the reception of the fanfare command, the mode of the game effect lamp 9 is switched after about 10 msec to support fanfare. Further, based on the reception of the fanfare command, the screen is switched after about 33 msec and the mode changes to display "FEVER". Specifically, as shown in (D1), the screen maintains the state of (B9) during the fanfare period after receiving the fanfare command. On the other hand, the aspect of the game effect lamp 9 is switched to the fanfare correspondence earlier than the aspect of the screen. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 in (D1) is extinguished. Then, as shown in (D2), the screen is switched to a screen in which the characters "FEVER" indicating the fanfare mode and Yumemu-chan are displayed behind the mode of the game effect lamp 9. Further, the game effect lamp 9 at this time maintains the lighting mode corresponding to the fanfare.

[About Epilogue 28-31]
In FIG. 183, the feature portions in the epilogue part will be described by numbering them.

FIG. 183 is a diagram for explaining a modified example of patterning. In the modified example, the design may be executed in the order of (Y1) to (Y7). Specifically, as shown in (Y1), the reduced decorative symbols (reduced symbols) in the scene of catching the Baku Chu are aligned in the state of "222" at the upper left of the screen. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 of the thing is rainbow lighting (smooth). Then, as shown in (Y2), the screen becomes a still image and the reduced symbol sways slightly up and down. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time is rainbow lighting (smooth).

Then, as shown in (Y3), the reduced decorative pattern on the upper left of the screen is temporarily erased. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time is rainbow lighting (smooth). Next, as shown in (Y4), the decoration of "222" that has been erased from the center of the screen is enlarged and displayed. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time is blinking white. Next, as shown in (Y5), the decorative pattern of "222" is enlarged and displayed from the state of (Y4). The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time is blinking white. Next, as shown in (Y6), the decorative pattern of "222" is enlarged and displayed from the state of (Y5). The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time is blinking white. Next, as shown in (Y7), the decorative pattern of "222" is enlarged and displayed from the state of (Y6). The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time is blinking white.

In the design of the modified example, the decorative design moves to the upper left corner of the screen in the reach mode at the start of SP reach, and the symbols are aligned at the hit epilogue part as shown in (Y1). Then, the reduced symbol once deleted after the reduced symbol shaking period as shown in (Y2) is enlarged from the position in the center of the screen, and the first effect of the symbol is executed.

(Epilogue 28)
In the hit epilogue part, when the images constituting the hit epilogue are sequentially displayed (the state in which the image of the hit epilogue is flowing), the decorative pattern is positioned on the edge side in the display area of the screen (in the upper left corner of the screen). Position). In relation to the timing when the screen becomes a still image and the epilogue image ends, the reduced symbol is erased and the effect of displaying the enlarged symbol is executed using the central area of the screen. Further, the luminance data table switches from the luminance data table corresponding to the hit epilogue part to the luminance data table corresponding to the pattern output in relation to the timing when the screen becomes a still image. According to this, when the image of the hit epilogue part is flowing, the reduced symbol is positioned on the edge side of the screen so that the image of the hit epilogue part is not disturbed, the development of the image of the hit epilogue part is completed, and the pattern is put out. When doing so, the big hit symbol can be emphasized and shown to the player by enlarging the decorative symbol so as to be continuous using the edge side of the screen and the center of the screen. Further, by switching the luminance data table, it is possible to make the scene change appear suitable. In this way, the hit epilogue part can be shown favorably.

(Epilogue 29)
In the hit epilogue part, when the images constituting the hit epilogue are sequentially displayed (the state in which the image of the hit epilogue is flowing), the decorative pattern is positioned on the edge side in the display area of the screen (in the upper left corner of the screen). (Position) is displayed in the same state as "222". According to this, it is possible to make the player recognize that the big hit display result is obtained by the reduced decorative pattern even while the hit epilogue image is being played.

(Epilogue 30)
In the hit epilogue part, when the images constituting the hit epilogue are sequentially displayed (the state in which the image of the hit epilogue is flowing), the decorative pattern is positioned on the edge side in the display area of the screen (in the upper left corner of the screen). Position) is displayed. In addition, the subtitle display displayed in (Y1) is erased, the reduced symbol at the upper left corner is erased, and the center of the screen is erased in relation to the timing when the screen becomes a still image and the epilogue video ends. The decorative pattern is enlarged and displayed using the area. According to this, it is possible to prevent the subtitle display from being displayed overlapping with the decorative pattern and to be misunderstood that some message is displayed when the pattern is displayed, and the hit epilogue part is preferably used. I can show you.

(Epilogue 31)
In the modified example, the decorative pattern moves to the upper left corner of the screen in the reach mode at the start of SP reach. According to this, by positioning the position from the start of the SP reach, it is possible to prevent the development of the production from being disturbed even during the SP reach, and it is possible to make a series of productions look suitable.

184 to 187 are diagrams for explaining a modified example of the re-lottery. In the modified example, for example, a case where the re-lottery is executed from the symbol drawing in the order of (F1) to (F12) will be described. Specifically, after the symbol is enlarged and displayed as shown in (F1) and (F2), the symbol is reduced as shown in (F3) and (F4). After that, as shown in (F5), the design becomes a normal size. Then, as shown in (F6), the background is switched to the background for the re-lottery effect, and the re-lottery effect starts. After that, as shown in (F7), there is a shaking period in which the symbol swings up and down. After that, the "3" symbol is reduced and displayed from (F8) to (F9).

After that, as shown in (F10), the button image and the time gauge are slightly displayed under the "3" symbol. After that, as shown in (F11), the button image and the time gauge are clearly displayed with the "3" symbol displayed. Then, as shown in (F12), the time gauge decreases with the passage of time. The time gauge is a display showing the validity period of the button operation.

FIG. 185 shows a case where the player operates the push button 31B from the state of (F12). FIG. 185 describes the re-lottery effect executed in (G1) to (G27). When the player operates the push button 31B from the state of (F12), "3", "4", "5", "6", which are used as decorative patterns from (G1) to (G13), High-speed fluctuation is performed in such a manner that "7", "1", and "2" are all displayed. After that, as shown in (G14), the "3" symbol that was displayed before the high-speed fluctuation is displayed.

After that, the symbol is enlarged and displayed as shown in (G15) and (G16), and then the symbol is reduced as shown in (G17) and (G18). After that, as shown in (G19), the design becomes a normal size. Then, the background is switched to the background for shaking the pattern. Here, as the symbol shaking, the operation of shaking the symbol is executed by rotating the symbol between the back side and the front side on the screen. Specifically, after the design sways to the back side from (G20) to (G21), the design changes to the initial position by swaying to the front side from (G22) to (G23). After that, the symbol swings toward the front side from (G24) to (G25), and then the symbol swings toward the back side from (G26) to (G27) to change to the initial position.

FIG. 186 shows a case where the player does not operate the push button 31B from the state of (F12). FIG. 186 describes the re-lottery effect executed in (H1) to (H27). If the player does not operate the push button 31B from the state of (F12), the "3" symbol remains displayed from (H1) to (H6), and the time gauge decreases with the passage of time. .. After that, as shown in (H7), the button image is slightly displayed and the button image is erased. After that, all of "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "1", and "2" used as decorative patterns from (H8) to (H20) are displayed. High-speed fluctuation is performed at. After that, as shown in (H21), the "3" symbol that was displayed before the high-speed fluctuation is displayed.

After that, the symbol is enlarged and displayed as shown in (H22) and (H23), and then the symbol is reduced as shown in (H24) and (H25). After that, as shown in (H26), the design becomes a normal size. Then, as shown in (H27), the background is switched to the background shown in (G20) to (G27). The movement of the symbol out in (H22) to (H26) when the push button 31B is not operated is the same as the movement of the symbol out in (G15) to (G19) when the push button 31B is operated. However, when the push button 31B is operated, the time of the decrease in the time gauge when the push button 31B is not operated is absorbed in the period during which the effect of shaking the three symbols is executed. That is, no matter when the button is operated, the period until the button is operated is absorbed by the scale of the effect that shakes the three symbols.

Then, after (G27) or (H27), the effect as shown in FIG. 187 is executed. FIG. 187 describes the re-lottery effect executed in (J1) to (J18). After (G27) or (H27), the screen temporarily whites out as shown in (J1). After that, the "3" symbol makes one rotation from (J2) to (J9). Specifically, from the state of (J2), counterclockwise with respect to the vertical direction of "3 symbols" (J3), (J4), (J5), (J6), (J7), (J8), ( It rotates with J9). Since the movement of rotation is fast, it seems that the design rotates in an instant.

After that, as shown in (J10), after the "3" symbol is reduced and displayed, the symbol sways to the back side from (J11) to (J12), and then the symbol is on the front side from (J13) to (J14). It changes to the initial position by shaking to. After that, the symbol swings toward the front side from (J15) to (J16), and then the symbol swings toward the back side from (J17) to (J18) to change to the initial position. The movement of the symbol shaking from (J11) to (J18) is the same as the movement of the symbol shaking from (G20) to (G27). Then, in (J18), the symbol stops neatly at the normal position.

[About Loss 1-7]
The featured parts of the lost epilogue part will be numbered and explained.

(About the design confirmation period)
FIG. 188 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the symbol determination period. FIG. 188 (X1) is a diagram showing the timing of the winning / failing determination corresponding to (r54) in FIG. 132. The details of the symbol determination period when shifting from this state to the hit epilogue part will be described with reference to (X2) to (X5). Further, the details of the symbol determination period in the case of shifting from the state of (X1) to the lost epilogue part will be described with reference to (X6) to (X9).

When shifting from the state of (X1) to the hit epilogue part, as shown in (X2), the image of the state of (s5) in which the bomb chew is captured is displayed. After that, as shown in (X3), it becomes a symbol confirmation period in which the symbol as in (B8) is fixed and stopped after being controlled by the normal screen. The symbol confirmation period is continued for 0.5 s after receiving the symbol confirmation designation command. After that, as shown in (X4), the fanfare period as shown in (B11) is reached. After that, as shown in (X5), the jackpot round period is reached.

After that, as shown in (X7), the background is blacked out and the symbol combination showing the loss display result of "232" is displayed. After that, as shown in (X8), an eye-catching image on which a character image having an effect of attracting the player's eyes is drawn is displayed. After that, after being controlled by the normal screen, the symbol confirmation period such as (X9) is set. The symbol confirmation period is continued for 0.5 s after receiving the symbol confirmation designation command. If there is a hold memory corresponding to the next variation display after the symbol confirmation period ends, the next variation display is started.

(Detailed explanation of blackout)
FIG. 189 is a detailed explanatory view of the blackout. The details of the blackout will be described in the order of FIGS. 189 (X10) to (X22). As shown in (X10), an image of the unfortunate (u2) state in which the Baku Chu was not caught is displayed. From this state, the background of the blackout is displayed with the transmittance gradually reduced, and the background of the medium symbol showing "3", which is one of the decorative symbols displayed in the center, gradually decreases the transmittance. It will be displayed. By reducing the transmittance, the blackout background gradually becomes darker, and the middle pattern gradually becomes clearer.

After (X10), as shown in (X11), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 70%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 100%. After that, as shown in (X12), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 60%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 90%. After that, as shown in (X13), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 50%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 80%. After that, as shown in (X14), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 40%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 60%. After that, as shown in (X15), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 30%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 40%. After that, as shown in (X16), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 20%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 20%. After that, as shown in (X17), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 10%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 0%. After that, as shown in (X18), the transmittance of the blackout background is displayed at 0%, and the transmittance of the medium symbol is displayed at 0%.

After that, the symbol "3" symbol, which is the middle symbol, sways up and down from (X19) to (X20) during the symbol sway period. After the pattern shaking period, an eye-catching image is displayed as shown in (X21). After that, as shown in (X22), the symbol determination period is reached. As shown in FIG. 189, the background blackout starts earlier than the medium symbol fade-in, and the background blackout has more transmittance switching stages than the medium symbol fade-in. ..

(Loss 1)
As shown in FIG. 188, if a loss occurs after the result is determined, the loss symbol is displayed in the loss epilogue part at the blackout background. After that, after the switching image by the eye-catching screen is displayed, the screen is switched to the normal background at the start of reach. According to this, the eye-catching screen makes it possible to preferably show the switching of the screen at the time of loss.

(Loss 2)
As shown in FIG. 189, in the loss epilogue part, the middle symbol gradually fades in while the background at the time of loss gradually blacks out. According to this, since the image at the time of loss and the middle symbol are displayed in inverse proportion to the relationship between the blackout and the fade-in, the display at the time of loss can be preferably shown depending on the relationship between the two.

(Loss 3)
As shown in FIG. 189, in the loss epilogue part, the number of steps required to black out the background at the time of loss from 100% to 0% transmittance fades the medium symbol from 100% to 0%. There are more steps than it takes to get in. Specifically, the background blackout has eight stages from (X11) to (X18), while the fade-in of the medium symbol has six stages from (X12) to (X17). According to this, the image at the time of loss and the middle pattern are displayed in inverse proportion to the relationship between the blackout and the fade-in, and the number of stages of changing the transmittance is different. Can be shown favorably.

(Loss 4)
As shown in FIG. 189, the change in which the background at the time of loss is blacked out starts before the change in which the middle symbol fades in. According to this, the image at the time of loss and the middle symbol are displayed in inverse proportion to the relationship between the blackout and the fade-in, and the blackout is faster than the fade-in of the symbol. The time display can be shown favorably.

(Loss 5)
In the image at the time of loss before blackout, the displayed image is switched, whereas in the image at the time of blackout, there is no change in the displayed image. According to this, the blackout can be made to look good by starting the blackout in the state of the image without change. It should be noted that switching the image includes switching the picture on the screen, switching the angle of the image, and switching the displayed scene itself. Further, the fact that there is no change in the image includes the fact that the image is the same still image, the angle of the image does not change even if it is a moving image, and even if it is moving, only a part of the image is moving minutely.

(Loss 6)
As the background at the time of loss is blacked out and the middle symbol fades in, as shown in (X18) to (X20), the medium symbol with a transmittance of 0% and the transmittance are 0%. The blacked out background of is displayed for a predetermined period. This predetermined period includes a symbol shaking period as shown in (X19) to (X20). The symbol shaking period may be set so that the cycle of moving the middle symbol from the center position to the upper position, the center position, the lower position, and the center position is one cycle, and the symbol shaking is repeated for at least two cycles. The predetermined period including such a period may be set longer than the period during which the fade-in is executed from the state where the medium symbol has a transmittance of 100% to the state of the transmittance of 0%. Further, the predetermined period may be set longer than the period in which the eye catch is displayed. According to this, in the display in which the background is blacked out with a transmittance of 0%, there is a predetermined period in which the middle symbol is displayed in a clear state, so that it is possible to preferably show that the pattern is lost.

(Loss 7)
As shown in FIGS. 188 and 189, on the eye-catching screen, the characters "POWERFULII" in the title and images of the main characters Yumemu-chan, Jam-chan, and Nana-chan are displayed as information about the pachinko gaming machine 1. Will be done. According to this, the information of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be accurately transmitted by the eye-catching image.

[About Loss 8, 10-17]
The featured parts of the lost epilogue part will be numbered and explained.

(About the game effect lamp at the time of loss)
FIG. 190 is a detailed explanatory view of the game effect lamp at the time of loss and a diagram for explaining a modified example at the time of loss. FIG. 190 also describes a lighting mode of the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50. FIGS. 190 (X30) to (X36) are detailed explanatory views of the game effect lamps at the time of loss, and FIGS. 190 (X40) to (X46) are diagrams showing deformation examples at the time of loss. The example shown in FIG. 190 shows the effect at the time of loss in the SP final reach, but with respect to the effect at the time of loss in other reach such as SP first half reach A and B and SP second half reach A and B. The technique shown in FIG. 190 may be applied.

In the present embodiment, the luminance data table at the time of loss is used from the effect that the six ally characters of (X30) are disappointed to the effect that the background image of (X31) is blacked out. The luminance data table at the time of loss shown in FIG. 190 corresponds to the grandchild table specified by the time tu1 to tu3 of the child table WD17 in the loss epilogue part shown in FIG. 216, which will be described later.

After the background image is blacked out, an eye-catching image is displayed. The eye-catching image is an image that attracts the attention of the player, and in the present embodiment, as a result of a series of effects in the SP reach, the eye-catching pattern is derived (temporarily stopped) before returning to the normal screen. The image is displayed.

From the switching period to the eye-catching screen of (X32) to the display of the eye-catching screen of (X33), the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is used. After that, via the switching period to the normal screen of (X34) and the symbol confirmation period of (X35), the background changes to the next variation of (X36) executed when the variation pattern command with hold is received. Luminance data table for is used. The luminance data table for the background shown in FIG. 190 corresponds to the grandchild table 26 specified by the time tu4 of the child table WD17 in the lost epilogue part shown in FIG. 216, which will be described later.

It should be noted that the luminance data table for the background is maintained even when the customer waiting command is received when there is no hold after the symbol determination period of (X35). In response to receiving the customer waiting command, the effect screen may be displayed as a demonstration, and the luminance data table for the demonstration may be used.

In relation to the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is blinking from (X30) to (X34). Then, by receiving the symbol confirmation command, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is turned off in the state of (X35). After that, by receiving the fluctuation pattern command when there is a hold, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 blinks in the state of (X36). When there is no hold after the symbol confirmation period of (X35), the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is kept off even if a customer waiting command is received.

Further, as a modification at the time of loss, the luminance data table in each state may be different from that of the present embodiment. Specifically, from the disappointment of (X40) to the background blackout of (X41), the luminance data table at the time of loss is used. After that, the brightness data table for switching (for eye-catching) is displayed over the (X42) eye-catching screen switching period, (X43) eye-catching screen, (X44) normal screen switching period, and (X45) symbol determination period. It may be used. Then, in the next variation of (X36), the luminance data table for the background may be used.

Here, the first luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching) has a larger luminance than the final luminance data (turning off) in the luminance data table before the eye catch display (at the time of loss). Further, the first luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching) has a larger luminance than the first luminance data in the luminance data table (excluding extinguishing lights) corresponding to the background at the start of fluctuation.

(Loss 8)
The characteristic part of the detailed explanatory diagram of the game effect lamp 9 at the time of loss will be described. The effect screen is switched to the image at the time of loss after the effect of determining whether or not to win. After that, after the blackout display in which the loss display result is displayed, the screen is switched to the eye-catching screen. After that, a screen is displayed in which the symbol is fixed and stopped after the screen is switched to the normal screen. Further, the luminance data table is switched from the luminance data table at the time of winning / failing determination to the luminance data table at the time of loss. After that, it is switched to the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching). After that, it is switched to the background luminance data table at the start of fluctuation. Here, the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) at the timing of switching to the eye-catching screen. Further, the luminance data table is switched to the background luminance data table at the timing when the screen is switched to the normal screen. The variable display of the special symbol of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from blinking to off by receiving the symbol confirmation command, but the luminance data table for the background is not switched by receiving the symbol confirmation command. Further, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from extinguished to blinking by receiving the fluctuation pattern command of the next fluctuation, but the luminance data table for the background is not switched by receiving the symbol confirmation command. According to this, the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for the background at the end of the eye-catching screen, and the luminance data table is continued until the next fluctuation. Therefore, the luminance data table corresponding to the reception of the symbol confirmation command is received. It is not necessary to create a separate image, and it is possible to show the effect by the lamp without any discomfort from the effect at the time of loss to the next change, and it is possible to show a series of effects appropriately.

(Loss 10)
After the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for the background at the end of the eye-catching screen, the luminance data table for the background is continuously used even if there is no hold storage and the customer waiting demo designation command is received. According to this, after switching to the brightness data table for the background, the same brightness data table can be continuously used, so that the effect of the lamp can be shown without discomfort, and a series of effects can be shown favorably. Can be done.

(Loss 11)
The special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from blinking to extinguished by receiving a symbol confirmation command that triggers an effect of stopping the confirmation of the symbol. According to this, regarding the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50, it is possible to show the player the flow at the time of loss in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Loss 12)
The special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from extinguished to blinking by receiving the fluctuation pattern command of the next fluctuation that triggers the start of the next fluctuation. According to this, regarding the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50, it is possible to show the player the flow at the time of loss in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Loss 13)
An example of deformation at the time of loss will be described. The luminance data table at the time of loss is used from the effect that the six ally characters of (X40) are disappointed to the effect that the background image of (X41) is blacked out. After the background image is blacked out, an eye-catching image is displayed. From the switching period to the eye-catching screen of (X42) to the symbol determination period of (X45), the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is used. After that, when the variation pattern command with hold is received, the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for the background. That is, the brightness data table is switched to the brightness data table for switching (for eye catching) at the timing when the screen is switched to the eye catch screen, the brightness data table is maintained during the symbol confirmation period, and the background is switched to the next fluctuation. You can switch to the brightness data table of. Further, in the symbol determination period, the extinguishing, which is the final luminance data of the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching), is used. According to this, after switching to the background luminance data table, the final luminance data of the switching (for eye-catching) luminance data table is maintained until the next variation pattern command is received, so that it is a loss. Can be easily recognized, and as a result, the loss can be shown favorably.

(Loss 14)
The final luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching) is the data to be turned off and maintained. Further, in the luminance data table for the background, the data for keeping the light off is not used. According to this, since the brightness data for keeping the light off is not used in the brightness data table for the background, it is peculiar to the case where the light is turned off when the background is displayed. It is possible to make it easy to recognize that.

(Loss 15)
If there is no hold storage after the symbol is confirmed, the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching) is switched to the luminance data table for the background by receiving the customer waiting designation command. According to this, when the customer waiting designation command is received, the luminance data table for the background is switched to, so that it is possible to easily recognize that the error has occurred.

(Loss 16)
The first luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) has a higher luminance than the final luminance data (turned off) in the luminance data table before the display of the eye-catching image (at the time of loss). According to this, since the game effect lamp 9 can emit light with higher brightness than before switching to the eye-catching screen, it is easy to recognize the switching by the eye-catching screen and the game effect lamp 9.

(Loss 17)
The first luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching) has a higher luminance than the first luminance data in the luminance data table (excluding extinguishing lights) corresponding to the background at the start of fluctuation. According to this, since the game effect lamp 9 can be made to emit light with high brightness when switching to the eye-catching screen, it is easy to recognize the switching by the eye-catching screen and the game effect lamp 9.

[About 8-12]
The characteristic parts in the parts related to the judgment of success or failure will be described by numbering them.

(Detailed explanation of (r48) part)
FIG. 191 is a detailed explanatory view of the (r48) portion. FIG. 191 (r48) is a scene in which the final fanning before the decision of success or failure is executed. FIG. 191 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing screen switching, and FIG. 191 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between screen switching and time. As shown in FIG. 191 (A), in the (r48) portion, after the display of the explosion chew as in (r48-1) is displayed, the display of six allies as in (r48-2) is displayed. Then, after the display of the explosion chew like (r48-1) is displayed again, the display of 6 allies like (r48-2) is displayed. After that, the switching of the still image between (r48-1) and (r48-2) is repeated, and as shown in FIG. 191 (B), the switching speed gradually increases. Then, the image of the ally character and the image of the enemy character are gradually enlarged and displayed with the passage of time.

(Win / Fail 8)
The scene before the hit / fail decision of (r48) in the fanning part is a slow motion period in which the movement of the image is slowed down. In addition, the effect executed before (r48) depicts the movement of the character from a plurality of image data, while the effect executed in (r48) is the image of Baku Chu and six allies. Performed with images. Then, the image of the ally character and the image of the enemy character are gradually enlarged and displayed with the passage of time to make the character appear to be operating. Here, if an image is created in the slow motion period using the same amount of image data as in the period other than the slow motion period, the amount of data is small and the movement becomes awkward. However, if a large amount of data is used to smooth the movement during the slow motion period, the capacity becomes too large. Therefore, the data capacity can be reduced by reducing the number of images used during the slow motion period and making the character appear to be operating by switching and enlarging the display. The number of images used in the slow motion period may be any number as long as it is smaller than the number other than the slow motion period.

(Win / Fail 9)
As shown in FIG. 191 (B), the switching speed between the image of the ally character and the image of the enemy character gradually increases. According to this, after the switching speed of the image becomes the fastest, the promotion display prompting the trigger operation is displayed, so that the scene where the ally character is advantageous is developed or the scene where the enemy character is advantageous is developed. It will be possible to inspire whether or not it will be developed, and the interest will improve. In addition, by switching the images alternately, it is possible to make it difficult to notice that the ally character and the enemy character are each executed using one image.

(Win 10)
The production of the slow motion period in (r48) may be executed at the timing of development from the SP first half reach to the SP second half reach and the SP final reach. According to this, it is possible to suitably execute the production even at the timing of developing from the reach of the first half of the SP.

(Win / Fail 11)
During the slow motion period in (r48), at least one of the ally character and the enemy character may be configured by using two or more images. For example, in the case of an ally character, by repeatedly using four images such as image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 1, ..., the character's hair and clothes may appear to move gradually. good. According to this, by changing only a part of the data while diverting the data of the character itself, it is possible to more faithfully express the state of operation while reducing the amount of data change work.

(Win / Fail 12)
In the slow motion period in (r48), when the character's hair and clothes appear to move gradually from multiple images, the movement of the hair and clothes should move at the same speed as the period other than the slow motion period. It may be a visible design. Here, if the number of images is increased according to the movement of slow motion in order to make the movement look smooth during the slow motion period, the capacity becomes large. However, by speeding up the movement during the slow motion period, the operation does not become awkward even if the number of images used is reduced, and it is possible to more faithfully express the operation while reducing the data capacity. can.

<Explanation of game effect lamps>
Next, the lamp control of the game effect lamp 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. 192 to 260.

[Ramp control of game effect lamp using brightness data table]
The effect control CPU 120 uses the luminance data table stored in the ROM 121 or the RAM 122 to turn on / blink / turn off one or more of the plurality of lamps included in the game effect lamp 9 by lamp control.

Specifically, the display control unit 124 sets the sub-variation time according to the variation pattern command transmitted from the CPU 105 mounted on the main board 11. The sub-variation time is a counter that is decremented by 1 in one frame (33 msec) of the displayed image. The display control unit 124 has a ROM 121 or a RAM 122 when the sub-variable time is time to start a display corresponding to each part (for example, various displays (reach display, etc.) in each part such as a start part or a fan part). The display control of the image display device 5 is performed based on the image data (moving image data, animation data) stored in the image display device 5. The display control unit 124 sets an extended command corresponding to the effect display (effect scene) to be displayed on the image display device 5 according to the display control performed by itself, and transmits the extended command to the effect control CPU 120. do. The effect control CPU 120 specifies the address of the parent table corresponding to the effect display (effect scene) for which display control is performed by the display control unit 124, based on the extended command received from the display control unit 124.

For example, FIG. 272 is a diagram for explaining an example of lamp control using a luminance data table. As shown in FIG. 272, when the display control unit 124 performs display control in the hit epilogue of the SP first half reach A, an extended command for designating the hit epilogue of the SP first half reach A is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120. The effect control CPU 120 specifies the address of the parent table corresponding to the hit epilogue of the SP first half reach A based on the extended command received from the display control unit 124.

In the parent table, information that specifies a lamp (lighting location) that is the target of lamp control among various lamps included in the game effect lamp 9, and information that specifies the maximum time for lamp control to be performed for each lamp. , Information that specifies the child table referred to during lamp control for each lamp (specified address of the child table) is stored. In the parent table, only the lamps that are the target of lamp control are specified, and the lamps that are not the target of lamp control are not specified. For example, in the parent table shown in FIG. 192, which will be described later, the frame lamp, the accessory lamp 9A, the panel left lamp 9B, the attacker lamp 9E, the V attacker lamp 9F, and the electric chew lamp 9H are targeted for lamp control. It is specified, and 600,000 msec is specified as the maximum time for lamp control to be performed for each lamp. Then, in the parent table shown in FIG. 192, the child table WD1 is designated for the frame lamp, the child table YD1 is designated for the accessory lamp 9A, and the child table LD1 is designated for the board left lamp 9B. , The child table AD1 is designated for the attacker lamp 9E, the V attacker lamp 9F, and the electric tutor lamp 9H.

Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 206, but as shown in FIG. 272, in the parent table for epilogue per SP first half reach A, the maximum time for lamp control for the frame lamp is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). The designated CPU 120 for effect control subtracts 1 from the counter every 10 msec in order to measure this 600,000 msec (10 minutes). That is, the effect control CPU 120 clocks 600,000 msec (10 minutes) by executing the counter subtraction process 60,000 times. The effect control CPU 120 is adapted to perform lamp control using a child table designated by the parent table until it clocks up to 600,000 msec (10 minutes). In the parent table for epilogue per reach A in the first half of SP, WD3 is designated as a child table.

In the child table, information for specifying the lamp (lighting location) to be controlled by the lamp among the various lamps included in the game effect lamp 9 and the grandchild table referred to at each time when the lamp control is performed are specified. Information (specified address of grandchild table) is stored. For example, in the child table for the frame lamp shown in FIG. 193, which will be described later, grandchild tables (W4, W11, W12, W21, etc.) referred to for each time such as ta1 to ta19 are designated.

Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 206, but as shown in FIG. 272, in the child table WD3 for epilogue per SP first half reach A, 300 msec is specified as the time for lamp control for the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 measures 3000 msec by subtracting 1 from the counter every 10 msec, and performs lamp control using the grandchild table specified by the child table WD3 until the time reaches 3000 msec. ing. In the child table WD3 for epilogue per reach A in the first half of SP, W4 is designated as the grandchild table.

The grandchild table stores information for designating a lamp (lighting location) to be controlled by the lamps among the various lamps included in the game effect lamp 9, and luminance data used at each time when the lamps are controlled. ing. For example, in the grandchild table W4 shown in FIG. 230, which will be described later, luminance data corresponding to RGB used every 30 msec is stored.

The value of the luminance data corresponds to the current value output to the lamp to be controlled by the lamp. For example, a frame lamp is composed of LEDs consisting of three elements such as "R", "G", and "B", and the luminance data for each element corresponds to the current value output for each element. .. Specifically, the luminance data is divided into 16 stages from 0 to F, and when the luminance data is 0, the current value is the lowest value (for example, 0), and when the luminance data is F, the current value is the lowest value. The current value becomes the maximum value. For example, when the luminance data of "A" is output to the element of "R", the current corresponding to the luminance data of "A" flows to the element of "R", and the element of "G" is "1". When the luminance data is output, the current corresponding to the luminance data of "1" flows to the element of "G", and when the luminance data of "F" is output to the element of "G", the "F" The current corresponding to the luminance data of "G" flows through the element of "G".

The frame lamp can emit light in various colors by passing a current corresponding to the luminance data through each element of RGB. Further, the frame lamp can be turned on in a color corresponding to each character described above by emitting light based on the luminance data. As an example, in a production where Yumemu-chan appears, the data of "F00" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as brightness data, and the LED lights up in red when the current corresponding to the data flows. .. In the production where the maid A appears, the data of "00F" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as the brightness data, and the current corresponding to the data flows, so that the LED lights up in blue. In the production where the maid B appears, the data of "0AC" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as the brightness data, and the current corresponding to the data flows, so that the LED lights up in Hawaiian blue color. In the production where AD appears, the data of "FF0" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as the brightness data, and the current corresponding to the data flows, so that the LED lights up in yellow. In the production where Jam appears, the data of "A5F" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as the brightness data, and the current corresponding to the data flows, so that the LED lights up in purple. In a production where Nana appears, the data of "F3F" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as the brightness data, and the current corresponding to the data flows, so that the LED lights up in pink. In an effect such as the appearance of an explosive chew, the data of "F00" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as the brightness data, and the current corresponding to the data flows, so that the LED lights up in red. In a production in which Boingo appears, "FEA" data is output from the LED lamp to the LED as brightness data, and a current corresponding to the data flows, so that the LED lights up in cream color.

Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 230, but as shown in FIG. 272, in the grandchild table W4, “000” and “AAA” are alternately used as luminance data (RGB data) at intervals of 30 msec for each lamp. It is specified. The effect control CPU 120 clocks 3000 msec, which is the time specified by the child table, by subtracting 1 from the counter every 10 msec, and outputs luminance data at 30 msec intervals based on the grandchild table W4 until the clock reaches 300 msec. Output to the LED driver. Then, the LED driver causes a current corresponding to the luminance data to flow to the designated LED based on the received luminance data. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 can control each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 via the LED driver.

As described above, the effect control CPU 120 has a timer corresponding to each of the parent table, the child table, and the grandchild table, and while subtracting the timer at a fixed cycle (for example, a 10 msec cycle), the parent table is used. Ramp control is performed based on the table, child table, and grandchild table.

Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 starts outputting the brightness data from the first designated place of the grandchild table, and when the output of the brightness data is completed up to the last designated place of the grandchild table, the grandchild table is output. If the value of the timer corresponding to the specified child table still remains, the output of the brightness data is started again from the first specified location of the grandchild table. On the other hand, if the value of the timer corresponding to the child table that specifies the grandchild table becomes 0 while the effect control CPU 120 is outputting the brightness data based on the grandchild table, this time, the child table is concerned. Set the timer corresponding to another child table specified by the parent table that specifies, and start outputting the brightness data from the first specified location of the grandchild table specified in the child table. As a result, the grandchild table is switched, and lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table after the switching.

The timer management of the child table by the effect control CPU 120 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 273 is a diagram for explaining an example of lamp control using a grandchild table by managing a timer of a child table. As shown in FIG. 273, in the child table for epilogue per reach A in the first half of SP, 3000 msec is designated as the time for lamp control to be performed on the frame lamp, and W4 is designated as the grandchild table. In the grandchild table W4, "000" and "AAA" are alternately designated as luminance data (RGB data) at intervals of 30 msec for each lamp. For convenience of explanation, the data "000" in the first 30 msec is the data 1, the data "AAA" in the next 30 msec is the data 2, the data "000" in the next 30 msec is the data 3, and the data "AAA" in the next 30 msec. Is referred to as data 4, data "000" in the next 30 msec is referred to as data 5, data "AAA" in the next 30 msec is referred to as data 6, and data "000" in the next 30 msec is referred to as data 7.

The effect control CPU 120 clocks 3000 msec specified by the child table WD3 by subtracting 1 from the counter every 10 msec, and data 1 to data 7 at intervals of 30 msec based on the grandchild table W4 until the clock reaches 3000 msec. The brightness data of the above is output to the LED driver, but after the data 1 to the data 7 are output, if the timekeeping has not reached 3000 msec, the brightness data is output to the LED driver again in order from the first data 1. When the timekeeping reaches 3000 msec, the effect control CPU 120 stops outputting the luminance data based on the grandchild table W4 at that time, and starts outputting the luminance data based on the next grandchild table W1 specified by the child table. do. In this way, the effect control CPU 120 loops the output of the luminance data until the time specified by the child table elapses.

As in the parent table shown in FIG. 192, which will be described later, child data is specified over 600,000 msec (10 minutes), and the 10-minute data in such a parent table plays a role of troubleshooting. That is, the effect control CPU 120 switches the parent table based on the effect control command from the CPU 103 to perform lamp control, but some trouble occurs while the lamp control is performed based on a certain parent table, and the effect control is performed. Even if the CPU 120 does not receive the effect control command from the CPU 103, the lamp control is performed based on the same parent table for 10 minutes, which prevents the lamp control from being performed one after another from the place where the problem occurs. can do.

Further, as in the child table shown in FIG. 193 described later, grandchild data is specified over 600,000 msec (10 minutes) at the final designated location, and the 10-minute data in such a child table corresponds to the child table. When the value of the timer to be used becomes 0, the timer of the parent table still remains, so that the lamp control is prevented from being performed again from the first specified location of the child table.

Further, as in the grandchild table shown in FIG. 235 described later, brightness data is specified over 600,000 msec (10 minutes) at the final designated location, and the 10-minute data in such a grandchild table corresponds to the grandchild table. When the value of the timer to be used becomes 0, the timer of the child table still remains, so that the lamp control is prevented from being performed again from the first specified location of the grandchild table.

In this way, by setting the luminance data specified at the end of the grandchild table as 10-minute data, the lamp is maintained with a fixed light emission, so that it is possible to prevent a problem in which the lighting of the lamp continues to change. Can be done. Furthermore, if the luminance data for 600,000 msec (10 minutes) is specified at the end of the grandchild table specified at the end of the child table, it is possible to prevent the problem that the lighting of the lamp continues to change more effectively. can.

As described above, the brightness data table is composed of a parent table, a child table, and a grandchild table, but in the brightness data table used in each part described below, a parent table, a child table, and a grandchild table are used. Of these, only characteristic tables are shown, and other tables may be omitted.

[Brightness data table used in the start part]
FIG. 192 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the luminance data table used for the start part. As shown in FIG. 192, in the parent table in the luminance data table used for the start part, the maximum time for which the lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes), and the lamp for each game effect lamp 9. Information that specifies a child table (WD1, YD1, LD1, AD1) referred to at the time of control is stored.

FIG. 193 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the start part. As shown in FIG. 193, in the child table WD1 of the frame lamp, the time of the start part is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is specified. In this embodiment, only the grandchild table having a particular feature is described in the child table, and the other grandchild tables are indicated by "omitted" and the description thereof will be omitted.

For example, at time ta1, time ta4, and time ta7, the grandchild table W21 is specified. The grandchild table W21 is included in the normal background luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52, and corresponds to the grandchild table W21 for the frame lamp in the background luminance data table shown in FIG. 260, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 260, in the grandchild table W21, "550", "770", or "880" is designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W21 to light the frame lamp in yellow (background yellow lighting pattern) corresponding to the normal background.

At time ta3 and time ta6, the grandchild table W4 is specified. The grandchild table W4 corresponds to the grandchild table W4 for the frame lamp in the white blinking (white flash) luminance data table shown in FIG. 230, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 230, in the grandchild table W4, "000" and "AAA" are alternately designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp at intervals of 30 msec. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp twice in white by performing lamp control over 150 msec (30 msec × 5) based on the grandchild table W4.

At times ta10 to ta12, the grandchild table W11 is designated. The grandchild table W11 corresponds to the grandchild table W11 for the frame lamp in the shutter 1 luminance data table shown in FIG. 251 described later. As shown in FIG. 251, in the grandchild table W11, the luminance data is gradually lowered from "A00" to "600" at intervals of 30 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. It is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W11 to gradually reduce the brightness in response to the effect of closing the shutter as shown in FIGS. 58 (a10) to 58 (a12). While turning on the frame lamp in red.

At times ta13 to ta18, the grandchild table W12 is designated. The grandchild table W12 corresponds to the grandchild table W12 for the frame lamp in the shutter 2 luminance data table shown in FIG. 251 described later. As shown in FIG. 251 in the grandchild table W12, “600” is specified in 30 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W12, the effect control CPU 120 is predetermined from the state in which the shutters as shown in FIGS. 59 (a13) to (a15) and 60 (a16) to (a18) are completely closed. The frame lamp is turned on in red while maintaining the brightness in a reduced state in response to the effect of opening in stages after the time is maintained.

In this way, in the child table WD1 of the start part, in the time ta1 to ta12 before the shutter is completely closed, the frame lamp has a color or brightness such as background yellow lighting, red blinking, white blinking, and red lighting. While the brightness data is switched so that it lights up / blinks while changing the brightness, during the time ta13 to ta18 after the shutter is completely closed, the frame lamp lights up in red while maintaining the brightness reduced. Luminance data is maintained. As a result, before the shutter is closed, the effect in the start part is enlivened by the lighting mode of the frame lamp, and when the shutter is closed, the lighting mode of the frame lamp is maintained so that the player can adjust the content of the effect when the shutter is opened. As a result, it is possible to better show the player the production in the subsequent fanning part.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 59 (a13), the brightness data is displayed so that the frame lamp lights up in red while maintaining the brightness reduced from the timing when the shutter is completely closed. It was maintained, but not limited to this. For example, even if the brightness data is maintained so that the frame lamp lights up in red while keeping the brightness reduced after a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) has elapsed after the shutter is completely closed. good. Alternatively, from the timing related to the shutter closing operation (for example, the timing when the shutter starts closing, the timing just before the shutter starts closing, etc.), the frame lamp is lit in red while maintaining the reduced brightness. The data may be maintained.

At the final time ta19 of the start part, the frame lamp is turned off in response to the effect that the shutter is maintained in a completely open state as shown in FIG. 61 (a19). As described with reference to FIG. 53, "off" here means that the luminance data is "0", but at time ta19, the luminance data is "1". You may become. In addition, also in the following description, the part of "turning off" may be "substantially turning off". At time ta19, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes, and a frame based on the grandchild table is performed for 10 minutes until the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD1 becomes 0. The lamp stays off.

In this way, since the frame lamp is turned off when the shutter is fully opened, it is possible to inform the player of the timing when the shutter is fully opened in an easy-to-understand manner depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. In addition, in the fanning part of SP first half reach A and the fanning part of SP first half reach B, which are executed after the start part, the shutter is started with the shutter fully open and the frame lamp is off, corresponding to each SP first half reach. The frame lamp starts lighting or blinking based on the brightness data table. In this way, after the shutter is fully opened and the frame lamp is turned off, the frame lamp starts to light as the production progresses in the SP first half reach, so that the player knows that the SP first half reach has started. Can be communicated in an easy-to-understand manner.

[Brightness data table used in the SP first half reach A fanning part]
FIG. 194 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP first half reach A. As shown in FIG. 194, in the parent table in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP first half reach A, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes), and each game. Information that specifies a child table (WD2, YD2, LD2, AD2) referred to at the time of lamp control for the effect lamp 9 is stored.

FIG. 195 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP first half reach A. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD2 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52. As shown in FIG. 195, in the frame lamp child table WD2, the time of the fanning part of the SP first half reach A is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is designated.

For example, the grandchild table W3 is specified during the 1560 msec of the time tb10. The grandchild table W3 corresponds to the grandchild table W3 for the frame lamp in the yellow haze brightness data table shown in FIG. 229 described later. As shown in FIG. 229, in the grandchild table W3, "440", "660", and "880" are sparsely designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp at 180 msec intervals. .. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3, so that the frame lamp is turned on as if it is yellow, which corresponds to the background of the SP reach.

A grandchild table W4 is designated between 150 msec at time tb14 and 210 msec at time tb17, respectively. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4.

Here, as shown in FIG. 230, in the grandchild table W4, "000" and "AAA" are alternately designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp at intervals of 30 msec. , The first 30msec is "000" (lights off), the next 30msec is "AAA" (lights up in white), the next 30msec is "000" (lights off), the next 30msec is "AAA" (lights up in white), next The 30 msec of the above is "000" (lights off), the next 30 msec is "AAA" (lights up in white), and the last 30 msec is "000" (lights off). That is, the frame lamp blinks in white (white flash) a plurality of times by alternately repeating "off" and "on" for one cycle consisting of 210 msec (30 msec × 7). For example, when the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 for one cycle consisting of 210 msec (30 msec × 7), the frame lamp blinks white three times and the effect control CPU 120 flashes 150 msec. When the lamp is controlled based on the grandchild table W4 over (30 msec × 5), the frame lamp blinks white twice.

The grandchild table W4 is specified in both the time tb14 and the time tb17. In the time tb14, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 in a time shorter than one cycle of 150 msec. The frame lamp blinks white twice, and at time tb17, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W4 in one cycle time consisting of 210 msec, so that the frame lamp is white three times. Flashes.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of different timings in one child table WD2, so that the frame lamp blinks in white at a plurality of different timings. By differentiating the time for referring to the grandchild table W4 in the lamp control between a plurality of different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be set to 2 or 3 times. As a result, the data capacity used for lamp control can be reduced by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of a plurality of different timings. The number of times the white blinks can be made different. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

At the final time tb18 of the fanning part of the SP reach A in the first half of the SP, Yumemu-chan explodes before the hit / fail decision (big hit, loss, development in the second half of the SP reach) as shown in FIG. 67 (b18). The frame lamp lights up in white in response to the production that incites whether or not to catch. At time tb18, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 for a maximum of 10 minutes. For example, the grandchild table W8 corresponds to the grandchild table W8 for the frame lamp in the operation-promoting non-fanning 2 luminance data table shown in FIG. 249, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 249, in the grandchild table W8, “FDC” is specified at 100,000 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, and the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD2 is set.

Be done.

For example, the grandchild table W2 is specified between 7000 msec of time th1 to th3. The grandchild table W2 corresponds to the grandchild table W2 for the frame lamp in the accessory operation red blinking luminance data table shown in FIG. 228, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 228, in the grandchild table W2, "A00" is specified in the first 40 msec and "333" is specified in the next 30 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. ing. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W2, so that after the success / failure branch shown in FIG. 77 (e17), the accessory as shown in FIGS. 83 (h1) to (h3) falls. The frame lamp blinks in red in response to such an effect.

The lamp control is also performed for the accessory lamp 9A during the time period th1 to th3 of 7,000 msec when the accessory falls. For example, during the time period th1 to th3 of 7000 msec when the accessory falls, the effect control CPU 120 is set to the child table corresponding to the drop operation of the accessory in the accessory lamp 9A and the grandchild table designated by the child table. Based on this, the accessory lamp 9A is blinked in red.

As a result, the player can be more effectively focused on the effect of dropping the accessory depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp and the accessory lamp 9A.

[Brightness data table used in the SP second half reach A fanning part]
FIG. 203 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP latter half reach A. As shown in FIG. 203, in the parent table in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP second half reach A, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes), and each game. Information that specifies a child table (WD9, YD9, LD9, AD9) referred to during lamp control for the effect lamp 9 is stored.

FIGS. 204 and 205 are diagrams for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP latter half reach A. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD9 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52. As shown in FIGS. 204 and 205, in the frame lamp child table WD9, the time of the fanning part of the SP second half reach A is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is specified. There is.

The luminance data corresponding to the times th4 to th10 are used for the lamp control of the frame lamp corresponding to the latter half portion (rising portion) of the accessory operation shown in FIGS. 171 (h4) to 172 (h10). Specifically, in the time th4 to th6, the frame lamp blinks in yellow in response to the effect of the accessory rising, and then in the time th7 to th10, the frame lamp reaches SP based on the grandchild table W3. Even the yellow color corresponding to the background of is lit as if it is hazy. As a result, the frame lamp gradually changes from blinking yellow to a yellowish lighting corresponding to the background of SP second half reach A, making it easier for the player to understand that it has evolved into SP second half reach A. I can tell.

In addition, during the time th4 to th10 when the accessory rises, the lamp control is also performed for the accessory lamp 9A. For example, during the time period th4 to th10 in which the accessory rises, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the child table corresponding to the ascending operation of the bonus in the bonus lamp 9A and the grandchild table designated by the child table. The brightness of the accessory lamp 9A is gradually reduced so that the accessory lamp 9A is gradually turned off.

As a result, the lighting mode of the accessory lamp 9A does not make the player aware of the rising of the accessory, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp makes the screen showing that the SP second half reach A has been developed. You can draw the attention of the player.

The grandchild table W3 is designated between 1130 msec of time ti1, 1330 msec of time ti20, and 1560 msec of time ti11. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3, so that the frame lamp is turned on as if it is yellow, which corresponds to the background of the SP reach.

Here, as shown in FIG. 229, in the grandchild table W3, the luminance data of the frame lamp is switched over one cycle consisting of 720 msec (180 msec × 4). At time th7 to th10 and time ti1, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3 for 1130 msec, which exceeds one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow for 1130 msec. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3 for 1330 msec, which exceeds one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights yellow for 1330 msec, and at time ti11, the effect control is performed for 1560 msec, which exceeds two cycles. When the CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3, the frame lamp lights up in yellow for 1560 msec.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamps of one child table WD9 based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of different timings, so that the frame lamps are turned on in yellow at a plurality of different timings. Then, by making the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 different in the lamp control between a plurality of timings different from each other, the time for turning on the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD9, it is used for lamp control by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing different grandchild tables at each of a plurality of different timings. While reducing the data capacity, the time to turn on the frame lamp can be different in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

A grandchild table W4 is designated between 150 msec of time ti15 and ti24 and 210 msec of time ti14, ti23, and time ti35, respectively. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4. The grandchild table W4 is specified in any of the time ti15, the time ti24, the time ti14, the time ti23, and the time ti35, but in the time ti15 and the time ti24, the effect control CPU 120 takes less than one cycle of 150 msec. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, the frame lamp blinks white twice, and at time ti14, time ti23, and time ti35, the effect control CPU 120 grandchildren in one cycle time consisting of 210 msec. By controlling the lamp based on the table W4, the frame lamp blinks white three times.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of different timings in one child table WD9, so that the frame lamp blinks in white at a plurality of different timings. By differentiating the time for referring to the grandchild table W4 in the lamp control between a plurality of different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be set to 2 or 3 times. As a result, the data capacity used for lamp control can be reduced by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of a plurality of different timings. The number of times the white blinks can be made different. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

The grandchild table W7 is designated between 1000 msec of time ti36 to ti38. The grandchild table W7 corresponds to the grandchild table W7 for the frame lamp in the operation-promoting non-fanning 1 luminance data table shown in FIG. 249, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 249, in the grandchild table W7, "FDC" and "300" are alternately designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp at intervals of 30 msec. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W7.

At the final time ti39 of the fanning part of the second half of the SP reach A, Yumemu-chan and Jam-chan will fan whether or not to catch the Baku Chu in the hit / miss branch (big hit, loss) as shown in Fig. 95 (i39). The frame lamp lights up in white in response to such an effect. At time ti39, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 for a maximum of 10 minutes. As shown in FIG. 249, in the grandchild table W8, “FDC” is specified at 100,000 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, and the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD2 is set. The frame lamp keeps lighting white based on the grandchild table W8 for 10 minutes until it reaches 0.

As described above, in the child table WD9 in the SP latter half reach A, the frame lamp blinks in white based on the grandchild table W7, and then the frame lamp lights in white based on the grandchild table W8. Specifically, in the pass / fail branch in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A where the operation promotion is not performed, "FDC" (white lighting), which is the last brightness data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W7, is used. In addition, since the brightness data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W8 is designed, it is possible to inform the player of the success / failure branch (decision timing) in an easy-to-understand manner without increasing the data capacity used for lamp control too much. can.

Further, as shown in FIG. 95 (i39), the frame lamp is kept lit in white in the mute state, and it is possible to inform the player of the success / failure branch (decision timing) in an easy-to-understand manner. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 249, "FDC" is designated as the last RGB data of the grandchild table W7 used between 1000 msec of the time ti36 and ti38, and further, the grandchild table W8 used in the subsequent time ti39. The last RGB data is also designated as "FDC". As a result, the effect control CPU 120 maintains the state in which the luminance data of the "FDC" is output to the LED driver based on the grandchild table W7, and then continuously continues the luminance data of the "FDC" based on the grandchild table W8. Since it is output to the driver, it is possible to preferably produce the timing of determining the success / failure branch by simpler lamp control without increasing the amount of data too much.

Further, in the child table WD9 of the reach A fanning part in the latter half of the SP, when a character appears, the brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. When the character emits a line, the brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to the character.

For example, at time ti2, the effect control CPU 120 is used to produce an effect in which Yumemu-chan and Jam-chan located on the left side of the screen and Baku Chu located on the right side of the screen face each other as shown in FIG. 84 (i2). Correspondingly, the frame left lamp is lit in white corresponding to Yumemu-chan and Jam-chan, and the frame right lamp is lit in red corresponding to Baku Chu. At time ti3, the effect control CPU 120 has a green frame corresponding to Yumemu-chan, corresponding to the effect that Yumemu-chan, located on the left side of the screen, emits a line as shown in FIG. 84 (i3). Blink the left lamp. At the time ti4, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the effect that the jam-chan located on the left side of the screen emits a line as shown in FIG. 85 (i4), and the purple frame left lamp corresponding to the jam-chan. Flashes. At time ti5, the effect control CPU 120 has a red frame right lamp corresponding to the explosion chew, corresponding to the effect that the explosion chew located on the right side of the screen emits a line as shown in FIG. 85 (i5). Flashes.

As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters emitting lines are displayed, it is possible to appropriately express which character is emitting the lines by lighting / blinking the frame lamp, and the production in the fanning part is suitable for the game. Can be shown to others.

Further, in the child table WD9 of the SP second half reach A fanning part, luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character when the character takes an action. ing.

For example, at time ti21, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to Yumemu-chan in response to an effect in which Yumemu-chan, located on the left side of the screen as shown in FIG. 90 (i21), chases the explosion chew. The left lamp of the frame blinks in green. Further, at the time ti32 and the time ti34, the effect control CPU 120 has a color corresponding to the character when there is a line of the character as shown in FIGS. 94 (i32) and 95 (i34) but no subtitle. Flashes the frame lamp with.

In this way, as shown in FIGS. 94 (i32) and 95 (i34), even if there are lines of the character but no subtitles, the frame lamp lights / blinks in the color corresponding to the character. Luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified. As a result, even in a scene where there is no subtitle display, it is possible to preferably express that the character is emitting lines by the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9, and it is possible to appropriately show the player the effect in the fanning part. can.

As shown in FIG. 206 (a2), in the child table WD10 for the hit epilogue used for the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach A, the time of the hit epilogue part in the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach A is subdivided for the frame lamp. And the grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD10 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52.

For example, at times tj1 to tj3, the grandchild table W4 is specified. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect of catching the explosion chew as shown in FIG. 97 (j1) after the pass / fail branch shown in FIG. 96 (i39). And make the frame lamp blink in white.

The white lighting in the pass / fail branch (ti39) is based on the grandchild table W8 shown in FIG. 249 described later, and the RGB data is "FDC", whereas the white blinking in tj1 after the hit is confirmed is RGB. The data is "FFF". As a result, at the time of hitting, the frame lamp blinks in the same color (white) as the hit / miss branch and brighter than the hit / miss branch, so that the hit is made depending on the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. Can be conveyed to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

At times tj2 and tj3, the grandchild table W1 is specified. By controlling the lamp based on the grandchild table W1, the effect control CPU 120 hits and confirms the frame lamp in response to the effect of catching the explosion chew as shown in FIGS. 97 (j2) and 97 (j3).

For example, during the time period th4 to th10 in which the accessory rises, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the child table corresponding to the ascending operation of the bonus in the bonus lamp 9A and the grandchild table designated by the child table. The brightness of the accessory lamp 9A is gradually reduced so that the accessory lamp 9A is gradually turned off.

As a result, the lighting mode of the accessory lamp 9A does not make the player aware of the rising of the accessory, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp makes the screen showing that the SP second half reach B has been developed. You can draw the attention of the player.

The grandchild table W3 is designated between 1130 msec of time tun5, 1330 msec of time tun14, and 1560 msec of time tun6. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3, so that the frame lamp is turned on as if it is yellow, which corresponds to the background of the SP reach.

Here, as shown in FIG. 229, in the grandchild table W3, the luminance data of the frame lamp is switched over one cycle consisting of 720 msec (180 msec × 4). In the time th7 to th10, the time tn1, and the time tn5, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3 for 1130 msec exceeding one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow for 1130 msec and the time. In tun14, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3 in 1330 msec, which exceeds one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow for 1330 msec, and in time tun6, in 1560 msec, which exceeds two cycles. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow for 1560 msec.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamps in one child table WD12 based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of different timings, so that the frame lamps are turned on in yellow at a plurality of different timings. Then, by making the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 different in the lamp control between a plurality of timings different from each other, the time for turning on the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD12, it is used for lamp control by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing different grandchild tables at each of a plurality of different timings. While reducing the data capacity, the time to turn on the frame lamp can be different in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

A grandchild table W4 is designated between 150 msec of time tun3, thym12, and thym25 and between 210 msec of thym4, tun13, thyme tn15, thyme tun19, and thyme tun22, respectively. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of different timings in one child table WD12, so that the frame lamp blinks in white at a plurality of different timings. By differentiating the time for referring to the grandchild table W4 in the lamp control between a plurality of different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be set to 2 or 3 times. As a result, the data capacity used for lamp control can be reduced by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of a plurality of different timings. The number of times the white blinks can be made different. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

At the last time tn27 of the fanning part of the SP second half reach B, the effect of fanning whether or not to catch the crab in the hit / miss branch (big hit, loss) as shown in FIG. 109 (n27) is supported. The frame lamp lights up in white. At the time tun27, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 for a maximum of 10 minutes.

As a result, in the hit / fail branch in the fanning part of the SP second half reach B, as shown in FIG. 109 (n27), the frame lamp is kept lit in white in the mute state, and the player is hit or miss. It is possible to convey the branch (decision timing) in an easy-to-understand manner.

Further, in the child table WD12 of the reach B fanning part in the latter half of the SP, when a character appears, the brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. When the character emits a line, the brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to the character.

For example, at time tn2, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect in which jam-chan and Nana-chan located on the left side of the screen and a crab located on the right side of the screen face each other as shown in FIG. 101 (n2). Then, the left frame lamp is blinked in white corresponding to Jam and Nana, and the right frame lamp is turned on in red corresponding to the crab. Further, since Jam and Nana located on the left side of the screen emit lines, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame left lamp in white.

As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters emitting lines are displayed, it is possible to appropriately express which character is emitting the lines by lighting / blinking the frame lamp, and the production in the fanning part is suitable for the game. Can be shown to others.

Further, in the child table WD12 of the SP second half reach B fanning part, luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character when the character takes an action. ing.

For example, at the time tn18, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in pink corresponding to Nana-chan in response to the effect that Nana-chan prays as shown in FIG. 106 (n18). Further, at the time tn10, the effect control CPU 120 has a color (red) corresponding to the character (crab) when there is a line of the character (crab) as shown in FIG. 104 (n10) but no subtitle. Flashes the frame lamp with.

In this way, even if there is a character line but no subtitles as shown in FIG. 104 (n10), the luminance data (grandchildren) so that the frame lamp lights / blinks in the color corresponding to the character. RGB data in the table) is specified. As a result, even in a scene where there is no subtitle display, it is possible to preferably express that the character is emitting lines by the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9, and it is possible to appropriately show the player the effect in the fanning part. can.

[Brightness data table used in the epilogue part per SP second half reach B]
FIG. 210 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table and a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B.

As shown in FIG. 210 (a1), in the parent table for the hit epilogue used for the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B, the maximum time for ramp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). And the information for designating the child tables (WD13, YD13, LD13, AD13) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 are stored.

As shown in FIG. 210 (a2), in the child table WD13 for the hit epilogue used for the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B, the time of the hit epilogue part in the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B is subdivided for the frame lamp. And the grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD13 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52.

For example, at time to1, the grandchild table W4 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 to correspond to an effect of catching a crab as shown in FIG. 110 (o1) after the success / failure branch shown in FIG. 109 (n27). And blink the frame lamp in white.

The white lighting in the pass / fail branch (tn27) is based on the grandchild table W8 shown in FIG. 249 described later, and the RGB data is "FDC", whereas the white blinking in to1 after the hit is confirmed is RGB. The data is "FFF". As a result, at the time of hitting, the frame lamp blinks in the same color (white) as the hit / miss branch and brighter than the hit / miss branch. Can be conveyed to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

At times to2 to to5, the grandchild table W1 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamps based on the grandchild table W1 so that the caught crabs as shown in FIGS. 110 (o2) to 111 (o5) can be used as the signboard of the shop, and Jam and Nana can use them. In response to the delightful production, the frame lamp is lit smoothly with the rainbow color corresponding to the hit confirmation.

As shown in FIG. 210 (b1), in the parent table for displaying the common symbol used for the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). ) And the information for designating the child tables (WD0, YD0, LD0, AD0) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9.

As shown in FIG. 210 (b2), in the child table WD0 for common symbolizing used for the hit epilogue part of the SP reach second half B, the time of the symbolizing part in the hit epilogue part of the SP second half reach B is set for the frame lamp. Along with subdividing, the grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified.

For example, the grandchild table W4 is specified between the time to 6 and the time to 7 for 5000 msec. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W4, so that the frame lamp is designed to correspond to the effect of producing a hit pattern as shown in FIGS. 111 (o6) and 112 (o7). Blink in bright white corresponding to the output.

At the last time to 8 of the hit epilogue part, the frame lamp is rainbow-colored and smooth in response to the effect that the hit symbol is finally displayed in the center of the screen as shown in FIG. 112 (o8). Light. At time to 8, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes, and based on the grandchild table W1 for 10 minutes until the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD13 becomes 0. The frame lamp keeps the rainbow color lit.

In this way, in the child table of the hit epilogue part, the grandchild table W1 is designated for the time to2 to to5, and based on the grandchild table W1, the caught crab is used as a sign of the shop, and Jam and Nana The frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color in response to a pleasing effect, and the grandchild table W1 is also specified for time to8, and the winning design is displayed in the center of the screen based on the grandchild table W1. The frame lamp lights up smoothly in a rainbow color in response to such an effect. As a result, in the hit epilogue part, the grandchild table for the hit epilogue used at the time of hit notification and the grandchild table for the symbol output used at the time of displaying the hit symbol are shared, so that they are different at each of a plurality of different timings. It is possible to liven up each production with a sense of unity while reducing the data capacity used for lamp control for lighting in rainbow colors without preparing a grandchild table. As a result, while reducing the data capacity, the player can better see the effect in the hit epilogue part by using the frame lamp.

[Brightness data table used in SP second half reach B loss epilogue part]
FIG. 211 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table and a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the loss epilogue part of the SP latter half reach B.

As shown in FIG. 211 (a1), in the parent table for the common loss epilogue used for the loss epilogue part of the SP second half reach B, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). ) And information for designating a child table (WD4, YD4, LD4, AD4) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9.

As shown in FIG. 211 (a2), in the child table WD4 for the common loss epilogue used for the loss epilogue part of the SP reach second half B, the time of the loss epilogue part in the SP reach second half B is subdivided for the frame lamp. , The grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified.

For example, the grandchild table W13 is specified during 200 msec of time tp1. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W13, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect of failing to catch the crab as shown in FIG. 113 (p1) after the pass / fail branch shown in FIG. 109 (n27). Then, the frame lamp is turned on in white.

The white lighting in the pass / fail branch (tn27) is based on the grandchild table W8 shown in FIG. 249 described later, and the RGB data is “FDC”, whereas the white lighting in tp1 after the loss notification is described later. Based on the grandchild table W13 shown in FIG. 252, the RGB data thereof are “888” and “444”. As a result, at the time of loss, the frame lamp can be turned on in white while maintaining the same color by utilizing the white lighting in the pass / fail branch (tn27). Can be notified to.

A grandchild table W14 is specified between 5800 msec of time tp2 and time tp3. By controlling the lamp based on the grandchild table W14, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the effect that Jam and Nana are disappointed to lose as shown in FIGS. 113 (p2) and 113 (p3). The frame lamp is turned on in white, which is darker than tp1.

The rainbow lighting at the time of hit (to2 to to5) is based on the grandchild table W1 shown in FIG. 225 described later, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 30 msec, whereas the rainbow lighting is dark at the time of loss (tp2, tp3). The white lighting is based on the grandchild table W14 shown in FIG. 252, which will be described later, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 250 msec, which is longer than the hit time. As a result, since the lighting color of the frame lamp is switched at shorter intervals in the hit time than in the loss time, it is possible to inform the player in an easy-to-understand manner that the hit is achieved depending on the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. Furthermore, while emphasizing the lighting by the frame lamp at the time of hitting more than at the time of losing, the lighting by the frame lamp can be made more calm at the time of losing than at the time of losing, and as a result, the lamp that contrasts hitting and losing. It is possible to convey to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

At time tp4, the grandchild table W15 is specified. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W15, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the frame lamp in response to an effect in which a loss as shown in FIG. 114 (p4) is notified and the screen goes dark. ..

At time tp5, the grandchild table W21 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W21 to display a normal screen as shown in FIG. 114 (p5), and the frame lamp has a yellow background lighting pattern. Turn on with. Further, at the time tp5, the lamp control is performed while repeatedly referring to the luminance data included in the grandchild table W21.

[Brightness data table used in SP final reach fanning part]
FIG. 212 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP final reach. As shown in FIG. 212, in the parent table in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP final reach, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes), and each game effect. Information that specifies a child table (WD15, YD15, LD15, AD15) referred to during lamp control for the lamp 9 is stored.

FIGS. 213 and 214 are diagrams for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP final reach. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD15 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52. As shown in FIGS. 213 and 214, in the frame lamp child table WD15, the time of the fanning part of the SP final reach is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is specified. ..

The luminance data corresponding to the times th4 to th10 are used for the lamp control of the frame lamp corresponding to the latter half portion (rising portion) of the accessory operation shown in FIGS. 171 (h4) to 172 (h10). Specifically, in the time th4 to th6, the frame lamp blinks in yellow in response to the effect of the accessory rising, and then in the time th7 to th10, the frame lamp reaches SP based on the grandchild table W3. Even the yellow color corresponding to the background of is lit as if it is hazy. As a result, the frame lamp gradually changes from blinking yellow to a yellowish lighting corresponding to the background of the SP final reach, so that the player can easily understand that the SP final reach has been developed. Can be done.

In addition, during the time th4 to th10 when the accessory rises, the lamp control is also performed for the accessory lamp 9A. For example, during the time period th4 to th10 in which the accessory rises, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the child table corresponding to the ascending operation of the bonus in the bonus lamp 9A and the grandchild table designated by the child table. The brightness of the accessory lamp 9A is gradually reduced so that the accessory lamp 9A is gradually turned off.

As a result, the player is not aware that the accessory is raised by the lighting mode of the accessory lamp 9A, while the game is played on the screen showing that the SP final reach is achieved by the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Can draw people's attention.

The grandchild table W3 is designated between 1130 msec of time tr1, 1330 msec of time tr19 and tr22, and 1560 msec of time tr15. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3, so that the frame lamp is turned on as if it is yellow, which corresponds to the background of the SP reach.

Here, as shown in FIG. 229, in the grandchild table W3, the luminance data of the frame lamp is switched over one cycle consisting of 720 msec (180 msec × 4). In the time th7 to th10 and the time tr1, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3 for 1130 msec exceeding one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow for 1130 msec, and the time tr19 and the time In tr22, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3 in 1330 msec exceeding one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow over 1330 msec, and in the time tr15, in 1560 msec exceeding two cycles. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W3, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow for 1560 msec.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamps of one child table WD15 based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of different timings, so that the frame lamps are turned on in yellow at a plurality of different timings. Then, by making the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 different in the lamp control between a plurality of timings different from each other, the time for turning on the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD15, it is used for lamp control by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing different grandchild tables at each of a plurality of different timings. While reducing the data capacity, the time to turn on the frame lamp can be different in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

Further, the child table WD9 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A, the child table WD12 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach B, and the child table WD15 used in the fanning part of the SP final reach are different from each other. Since the reference time is changed while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of the plurality of timings, the data capacity used for lamp control in multiple reach effects is reduced. The time to turn on the frame lamp can be different in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach. Similarly, in the child table WD2 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach A and the child table WD5 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach B, different grandchild tables should be prepared at each of a plurality of different timings. By changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3, the data capacity used for lamp control is reduced, and the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach is different. May be good.

A grandchild table W4 is specified between 150 msec of time tr36 and 210 msec of time tr40 and time tr47, respectively. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4. The grandchild table W4 is specified in all of the time tr36, the time tr40, and the time tr47. In the time tr36, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W4 in a time shorter than one cycle of 150 msec. By doing so, the frame lamp blinks white twice, and at the time tr40 and the time tr47, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W4 in one cycle time consisting of 210 msec, so that the frame lamp is used. Flashes white three times.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of different timings in one child table WD15, so that the frame lamp blinks in white at a plurality of different timings. By differentiating the time for referring to the grandchild table W4 in the lamp control between a plurality of different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be set to 2 or 3 times. As a result, the data capacity used for lamp control can be reduced by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of a plurality of different timings. The number of times the white blinks can be made different. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

Further, the child table WD2 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach A, the child table WD5 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach B, the child table WD9 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A, and the child table WD9 used in the SP second half reach B fanning part. In both the child table WD12 used in the part and the child table WD15 used in the fanning part of the SP final reach, a common grandchild table W4 can be used without preparing a separate grandchild table at each of a plurality of different timings. By changing the reference time while using it, the number of white blinks can be made different while reducing the data capacity used for lamp control. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

At time tr41, grandchild table W5 or grandchild table W6 is designated. When the information for executing the red cut-in effect is set in the effect setting process, the grandchild table W5 is specified at the time tr41, and when the information for executing the green cut-in effect is set in the effect setting process, the grandchild table W5 is specified. The grandchild table W6 is specified at time tr41.

The grandchild table W5 corresponds to the grandchild tables W5a to W5e for the frame lamp in the common red cut-in luminance data table shown in FIGS. 233 to 235, which will be described later. As shown in FIGS. 233 to 235, in the grandchild tables W5 (W5a to W5e), the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp is initially various for only the R data at intervals of 30 msec. Data showing various brightness is specified, data showing various brightness is specified only for R data at the next 20 msec interval, and finally various brightness is specified only for R data alternately at 30 msec and 40 msec. The data indicating is specified. The effect control CPU 120 lights the frame lamp in red in correspondence with the cut-in effect (red cut-in effect) as shown in FIG. 128 (r41) by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W5.

The grandchild table W6 corresponds to the grandchild tables W6a to W6e for the frame lamp in the common green cut-in luminance data table shown in FIGS. 242 to 244, which will be described later. As shown in FIGS. 242 to 244, in the grandchild tables W6 (W6a to W6e), the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp is initially various for only the G data at intervals of 30 msec. Data showing various brightness is specified, data showing various brightness is specified only for G data at the next 20 msec interval, and finally various brightness is specified only for G data alternately at 30 msec and 40 msec. The data indicating is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W6 to light the frame lamp in green in correspondence with the cut-in effect (green cut-in effect) as shown in FIG. 128 (r41).

As shown in FIGS. 128 (r40) and 128 (r41), when the push button 31B is displayed and the cut-in effect is executed, the character does not emit a line and the subtitles are not displayed. Further, the frame lamp that is the target of the lamp control in the scene other than the cut-in effect in the final reach of the SP is still the target of the lamp control in the cut-in effect.

As a result, the display (button display) that prompts the player to operate the push button 31B and the subtitle display do not overlap when executing the cut-in effect, and the overlap makes it difficult to recognize either display. It is possible to prevent the contents of the display from being misunderstood. Further, the luminance data of the lamp control (RGB data in the grandchild tables W4, W5, W6) in the cut-in effect and the button display for the cut-in effect is the frame of the same place as the lamp control in the fanning part of the SP final reach. By being designed to use a lamp, it is possible to prevent lighting / blinking due to an extra lamp from being mixed and spoiling the aesthetic appearance, and it is possible to provide an effect in a suitable fanning part.

In the present embodiment, the lamp control target is common in that the frame lamp is used for both the button display and the cut-in effect and the other SP final reach effects. Not exclusively. For example, only one or more game effect lamps 9 such as a frame lamp, a character lamp 9A, and a board left lamp 9B are used for the button display and the cut-in effect and the other SP final reach effects. The target of the lamp control may be common in terms of points, or the target of lamp control may be common in that all the game effect lamps 9 are used.

At 860 msec at time tr49 and time tr50, the grandchild table W9 is specified. The grandchild table W9 corresponds to the grandchild table W9 for the frame lamp in the trigger display luminance data table shown in FIG. 250, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 250, in the grandchild table W9, “D00” is designated at 30 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W9, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the effect that the stick controller 31A (trigger) as shown in FIGS. 131 (r49) and (r50) is displayed in the center. Then, turn on the frame lamp in red.

The grandchild table W10 is designated at the time tr51 to tr54, which is the last time of the fanning part of the SP final reach. The grandchild table W10 corresponds to the grandchild table W10 for the frame lamp in the operation promotion luminance data table shown in FIG. 250, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 250, in the grandchild table W10, "500" or "D00" is specified at intervals of 30 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 is used. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W10, the player is urged to pull the stick controller 31A (trigger) as shown in FIGS. 131 (r51) to 132 (r54). , The frame lamp blinks in red. During the time tr51 to tr54, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W10 for a maximum of 10 minutes, and the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD15 becomes 0. Until then, the frame lamp keeps blinking red based on the grandchild table W10 for 10 minutes.

As a result, as shown in FIGS. 131 (r49) to 132 (r54), the sound corresponding to the operation promotion and the sound corresponding to the reach (BGM) were output in the hit / fail branch in the fanning part of the SP final reach. In the state, the frame lamps are switched one after another, such as blinking white, lighting red, and blinking red, and it is possible to excite the effect of promoting the operation for the player at the hit / miss branch (determined timing).

Here, the child table WD2 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach A, the child table WD5 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach B, the child table WD9 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A, and the SP second half reach B. When the operation promotion that prompts the player to pull the stick controller 31A (trigger) is not performed like the child table WD12 used in the fanning part, the frame lamp is set at the final hit / fail branch of the fanning part. It keeps lighting in white and then shifts to the hit epilogue part or the lost epilogue part. On the other hand, when the operation promotion is performed to encourage the player to pull the stick controller 31A (trigger) like the child table WD15 used in the fanning part of the SP final reach, it is shown in FIG. 130 (r47). After blinking white in a production that incites whether or not the ally character catches the explosive chew, the explosive chew and the ally character are alternately displayed as shown in FIG. 130 (r48). After the frame lamp lights up in red in response to such an effect, the stick controller 31A (trigger) as shown in FIGS. 131 (r49) and (r50) is switched to the grandchild table W9 and based on the grandchild table W9. The frame lamp lights up in red in response to the effect displayed in the center.

In this way, in the SP reach production where the operation promotion that encourages the player to operate is not performed in the pass / fail branch, the production is stopped by keeping the mute state and keeping the frame lamp lit in white. Can be shown to the player, and the success / failure branch (decision timing) can be easily communicated to the player. On the other hand, in the SP reach effect in which the operation promotion is performed to encourage the player to operate in the pass / fail branch, the sound corresponding to the operation promotion and the sound corresponding to the reach (BGM) are output, and the operation promotion is further performed. By switching and using the grandchild table a plurality of times in order to control the frame lamp so as to correspond to the mode corresponding to the above, the timing of determining the success / failure branch can be suitably produced by the lighting mode of the frame lamp. As described above, it is possible to preferably produce the timing of determining the success / failure branch by different sound control or lamp control depending on whether the operation promotion is performed in the success / failure branch or the operation promotion is performed. Further, in the SP final reach in which the operation is promoted to encourage the player to operate in the pass / fail branch, the luminance data (RGB data) is set to "500" and "D00" at intervals of 30 msec based on the grandchild table W10. With this, the timing of determining the success / failure branch can be suitably produced depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

Further, in the child table WD15 of the SP final reach fanning part, when a character appears, brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character, and the character. The brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to the character when the character emits a line.

For example, at time tr2, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect in which six ally characters located on the left side of the screen and an explosion chew located on the right side of the screen face each other as shown in FIG. 115 (r2). Then, the left frame lamp is blinked in white corresponding to 6 ally characters, and the right frame lamp is turned on in red corresponding to Baku Chu. Further, since the six ally characters located on the left side of the screen emit lines, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame left lamp in white. Further, at the time tr3, the effect control CPU 120 has a red frame corresponding to the explosive chew in response to the effect that the explosive chew located on the right side of the screen emits a line as shown in FIG. 115 (r3). Blink the right lamp.

As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters emitting lines are displayed, it is possible to appropriately express which character is emitting the lines by lighting / blinking the frame lamp, and the production in the fanning part is suitable for the game. Can be shown to others.

Further, in the child table WD15 of the SP final reach fanning part, luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character when the character takes an action. There is.

For example, at the time tr11, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in blue corresponding to the maid A in response to the effect that the maid A chases the explosive chew as shown in FIG. 118 (r11). Further, in the time tr25, the time tr27, the time tr29, the time tr31, the time tr33, and the time tr35, the effect control CPU 120 is shown in FIGS. 123 (r25), (r27), 124 (r29), 125 (r31), FIG. (R33) and 126 (r35), when there is a character line as shown in FIG. 126 (r35) but there is no subtitle, the frame lamp is blinked in the color corresponding to the character.

Thus, as shown in FIGS. 123 (r25), (r27), 124 (r29), 125 (r31), (r33), and 126 (r35), there are character lines while subtitles are present. Even if there is no such data, the brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights / blinks in the color corresponding to the character. As a result, even in a scene where there is no subtitle display, it is possible to preferably express that the character is emitting lines by the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9, and it is possible to appropriately show the player the effect in the fanning part. can.

[Brightness data table used in epilogue part per SP final reach]
FIG. 215 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table and a child table for a frame lamp in a luminance data table used for a hit epilogue part of the SP final reach.

As shown in FIG. 215 (a1), in the parent table for the accessory operation used for the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). And the information for designating the child tables (WD16a, YD16a, LD16a, AD16a) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 are stored.

As shown in FIG. 215 (a2), in the child table WD16a for the accessory operation used for the SP final reach hit epilogue part, the time of the accessory operation portion in the SP final reach hit epilogue part is subdivided for the frame lamp. And the grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD16a of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52.

For example, the grandchild table W18 is specified between 10000 msec of time ts1 to ts3. The grandchild table W18 corresponds to the grandchild table W18 for the frame lamp in the hit-determined luminance data table shown in FIG. 256, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 256, in the grandchild table W18, as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, data of various brightness corresponding to seven colors (rainbow colors) are sparsely specified in the first 40 msec. Then, "333" is specified in the next 30 msec, and such RGB data is repeatedly specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W18, so that after the pass / fail branch shown in FIG. 132 (r54), the accessory as shown in FIGS. 133 (s1) to (s3) falls. The frame lamp blinks in seven colors in response to such an effect.

As shown in FIG. 215 (b1), in the parent table for the hit epilogue used for the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, the maximum time for ramp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). , Information for designating a child table (WD16b, YD16b, LD16b, AD16b) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is stored.

As shown in FIG. 215 (b2), in the child table WD16b for the hit epilogue used for the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, the time of the hit epilogue portion in the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach is subdivided for the frame lamp. In addition, the grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD16b of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52.

For example, at times ts3-2 to ts3-8, the grandchild table W4 is specified. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, the effect control CPU 120 seems to have caught the explosion chew while raising the accessory as shown in FIGS. 173 (s3-2) to 174 (s3-8). The frame lamp blinks in white, which corresponds to the rise of the accessory, in response to the effect that the display appears.

At times ts4 to ts7, the grandchild table W1 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W1 to make the frame lamp correspond to the effect of catching the explosion chew as shown in FIGS. 134 (s4) to 135 (s7). Lights up smoothly with the rainbow color corresponding to the hit confirmation.

As shown in FIG. 215 (c1), in the parent table for displaying the common symbol used for the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). And the information for designating the child tables (WD0, YD0, LD0, AD0) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 are stored.

As shown in FIG. 215 (c2), in the child table WD0 for common symbolizing used for the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, the time of the symbolizing part in the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach is subdivided for the frame lamp. At the same time, the grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified.

For example, a grandchild table W4 is specified between 5000 msec of time ts8 and time ts9. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W4 to display the frame lamp as a pattern in response to the effect of producing a hit pattern as shown in FIGS. 135 (s8) and 135 (s9). Blink in the corresponding bright white.

At the final time ts10 of the hit epilogue part, the frame lamp is smoothly lit in rainbow color in correspondence with the effect that the hit symbol is displayed in the center of the screen as shown in FIG. 136 (s10). At time ts10, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes, and based on the grandchild table W1 for 10 minutes until the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD16 becomes 0. The frame lamp keeps the rainbow color lit.

In this way, in the child table of the hit epilogue part, the grandchild table W1 is designated for the time ts4 to ts7, and based on the grandchild table W1, the frame lamp is set to correspond to the effect of catching the explosive chew. It lights up smoothly in rainbow color, and the grandchild table W1 is also specified for the time ts10. Based on the grandchild table W1, the frame lamp is set to correspond to the effect that the winning pattern is displayed in the center of the screen. It lights up smoothly in rainbow color. As a result, in the hit epilogue part, the grandchild table used at the time of hit notification and the grandchild table used at the time of displaying the hit symbol are shared, so that different grandchild tables are not prepared at each of a plurality of different timings. While reducing the amount of data used for lamp control to light up in rainbow colors, it is possible to liven up each production with a unified production. As a result, while reducing the data capacity, the player can better see the effect in the hit epilogue part by using the frame lamp.

In addition, in the child table WD16 of the epilogue part per SP final reach, in the production where the accessory falls, the rainbow color and the achromatic color (RGB data of "333") are switched alternately. The frame lamp is lamp controlled. As a result, by occasionally sandwiching an achromatic color with respect to the rainbow-colored chromatic color, it is possible to perform an effect that emphasizes the big hit and congratulates the player. After that, in the production where the ally character catches the explosion chew, a production that congratulates the player in a calm manner that it became a big hit is executed by lighting a smooth rainbow color without sandwiching the achromatic color. be able to. As a result, the effect in the epilogue part of the SP final reach can be preferably shown to the player.

[Brightness data table used in SP final reach loss epilogue part]
FIG. 216 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table and a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the loss epilogue part of the SP final reach.

As shown in FIG. 216 (a1), in the parent table for the loss epilogue used for the loss epilogue part of the SP final reach, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes). , Information for designating a child table (WD17, YD17, LD17, AD17) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is stored.

As shown in FIG. 216 (a2), in the child table WD17 for the loss epilogue used for the loss epilogue part of the SP final reach, the time of the loss epilogue part in the SP final reach is subdivided for the frame lamp, and each time. The grandchild table referenced by the band is specified. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD17 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52.

For example, the grandchild table W13 is specified during 200 msec of time tu1. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W13, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect in which the explosion chew escapes as shown in FIG. 137 (u1) after the pass / fail branch shown in FIG. 132 (r54). Then, the frame lamp is turned on in white.

The red blinking in the pass / fail branch (tr54) is based on the grandchild table W10 shown in FIG. 250 described later, and the RGB data includes "D00", whereas the white lighting in tu1 after the loss notification is described later. Based on the grandchild table W13 shown in FIG. 252, the RGB data thereof are “888” and “444”. As a result, at the time of loss, the frame lamp can be turned on in white, which is darker than the red blinking in the pass / fail branch (tr54), so that it is possible to notify the player that the loss has occurred.

The grandchild table W14 is specified during 3900 msec of time tr2. By controlling the lamp based on the grandchild table W14, the effect control CPU 120 sets the frame lamp to tu1 in response to the effect that six ally characters lose and are disappointed as shown in FIG. 137 (u2). Lights in a darker white color.

The rainbow lighting at the time of hit (ts4 to ts7) is based on the grandchild table W1 shown in FIG. 225 described later, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 30 msec, whereas the rainbow lighting at the time of loss (tu1) is dark white lighting. Is based on the grandchild table W14 shown in FIG. 252, which will be described later, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 250 msec, which is longer than the hit time. As a result, since the lighting color of the frame lamp is switched at shorter intervals in the hit time than in the loss time, it is possible to inform the player in an easy-to-understand manner that the hit is achieved depending on the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. Furthermore, while emphasizing the lighting by the frame lamp at the time of hitting more than at the time of losing, the lighting by the frame lamp can be made more calm at the time of losing than at the time of losing, and as a result, the lamp that contrasts hitting and losing. It is possible to convey to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

Further, in the child table WD4 of the SP first half reach A, the child table WD7 of the SP first half reach B, the child table WD11 of the SP second half reach A, and the child table WD14 of the SP second half reach B, the same as the child table WD17 of the SP final reach. In addition, the frame lamp is lit in the lighting mode at the time of loss based on the grandchild table W14. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the frame lamp based on the grandchild table W14 for 5800 msec in the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, whereas in the SP final reach, it is 3900 msec. Meanwhile, the frame lamp is controlled by the grandchild table W14. In this way, it is possible to make the grandchild table used for lamp control at the time of loss common among a plurality of different reach, but to make the lamp control time different with reference to the grandchild table. As a result, in the child table used in each of the plurality of different reach, the reference time is changed while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a grandchild table dedicated to the time of loss in each of the different plurality of reach. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of data used for lamp control and to make the time for lighting the frame lamp different in the lighting mode corresponding to the loss. As a result, it is possible to notify the player of the loss in a suitable manner in each of the plurality of reach.

At time tu3, the grandchild table W15 is designated. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W15, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the frame lamp in response to an effect in which a loss as shown in FIG. 137 (u3) is notified and the screen goes dark. ..

At time tu4, the grandchild table W21 is designated. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W21 to display a normal screen as shown in FIG. 138 (u4). Turn on with. Further, at the time tu4, the lamp control is performed while repeatedly referring to the luminance data included in the grandchild table W21.

[Brightness data table used in the relief part]
FIG. 217 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the relief per part. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD18 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52. As shown in FIG. 217, in the child table WD18 of the frame lamp, the time of the part per relief is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is specified.

For example, at 1980 msec at time tv1, the grandchild table W16 is specified. The grandchild table W16 corresponds to the grandchild table W16 for the frame lamp in the one-luminance data table per relief shown in FIG. 254, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 254, in the grandchild table W16, "D00" is specified for each lamp in the first 30 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, and each in the next 30 msec. "B00" is specified for the lamp. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W16, so that the frame lamp is turned on in red in correspondence with the relief effect shown in FIG. 139 (v1).

In this way, from the lighting mode of the frame lamp based on the grandchild table W21 last designated in each of the child tables WD4, WD7, WD11, WD14, and WD17 used at the time of loss, the child table WD18 used for relief is first. By switching to the lighting mode of the frame lamp based on the designated grandchild table W16, the frame lamp is lit even brighter. As a result, at the time of relief hit, the frame lamp lights up brighter than the state after the loss notification, so that the player can easily understand the loss notification and the subsequent relief hit notification depending on the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. I can show you.

In the present embodiment, the frame lamp is once lit in yellow corresponding to the normal background after the loss notification, and further, in the case of a relief hit, the frame lamp is lit brighter in red corresponding to the relief effect. there were. However, it is not limited to such an aspect. For example, in each of the child tables WD4, WD7, WD11, WD14, and WD17 used at the time of loss, the grandchild table W15 is specified at the end, so that "111" is specified as the final luminance data (RGB data). May be done. As a result, at the end of the loss, the frame lamp turns off in white. Further, "AAA" may be designated as the first luminance data (RGB data) in the first designated grandchild table W16 of the child table WD18 used at the time of relief. As a result, at the beginning of the relief hit after the loss notification, the frame lamp lights up brightly with a white system. In this way, at the time of relief hit, the frame lamp lights up in the same color (white) as the state after the loss notification and brighter than the state after the loss notification, so that the loss depends on the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. The notification and the subsequent relief hit notification can be shown to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

At 700 msec of time tv2, the grandchild table W17 is specified. The grandchild table W17 corresponds to the grandchild table W17 for the frame lamp in the two-luminance data table per relief shown in FIG. 255, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 255, in the grandchild table W17, as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, white data such as “AAA” and “DDD” for each lamp at intervals of 30 msec. Is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W17 to light the frame lamp in white in accordance with the whiteout effect shown in FIG. 139 (v2).

The grandchild table W4 is specified between the time tv3 and the time tv4 for 5000 msec. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white in correspondence with the effect of displaying the patterns shown in FIGS. 140 (v3) and 140 (v4).

In the time tv5, which is the last part of the relief, the grandchild table W1 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W1 to smoothly turn on the frame lamp in the rainbow color corresponding to the hit determination in accordance with the effect of displaying the pattern shown in FIG. 140 (v5). .. At time tv5, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes, and based on the grandchild table W1 for 10 minutes until the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD18 becomes 0. The frame lamp keeps the rainbow color lit.

[Brightness data table used in the re-lottery part]
FIG. 218 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the luminance data table used for the re-lottery part. As shown in FIG. 218, in the parent table in the luminance data table used for the re-lottery part, the maximum time for lamp control to be performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes), and for each game effect lamp 9. Information that specifies a child table (WD19, YD19, LD19, AD19) referred to during lamp control is stored.

(Brightness data table used before promoting operation)
FIG. 219 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the re-lottery part (before promotion of operation). As shown in FIG. 219, as the child table WD19 of the frame lamp, a child table used before the start of movement of the symbol and a child table used after the start of movement of the symbol are prepared. In each child table in these re-lottery parts, the time of the re-lottery part is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is specified.

FIG. 219 (a) shows a child table used before the symbol starts to move. For example, at times tA6 to tA8, a grandchild table for turning off the frame lamp is designated. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the designated grandchild table, and as shown in FIGS. 142 (A6) to 143 (A8), after the re-lottery effect is started, the symbol is displayed by the re-lottery effect. Turn off the frame lamp once before it starts to move.

In this way, once the frame lamp is turned off, the frame lamp is turned on in a lighting mode corresponding to the effect that the symbol starts to move by the re-lottery effect. Therefore, the symbol starts to move by the re-lottery effect depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. It is possible to convey this to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

FIG. 219 (b) shows a child table used after the start of movement of the symbol. At the times tA9 and tA10, the grandchild table W19 is specified. The grandchild table W19 corresponds to the grandchild table W19 for the frame lamp in the re-lottery effect luminance data table shown in FIG. 257, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 257, in the grandchild table W19, "F00" and "700" are alternately designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp at intervals of 60 msec. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W19 to correspond to an effect in which the design of "2" as shown in FIGS. 143 (A9) and 144 (A10) is reduced. Flash the frame lamp in red.

At times tA11 to tA46, the grandchild table W20 is designated. The grandchild table W20 corresponds to the grandchild table W20 for the frame lamp in the re-lottery effect luminance data table shown in FIG. 258, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 258, in the grandchild table W20, "F00" and "700" are alternately designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp at intervals of 30 msec shorter than that of the grandchild table W20. Has been done. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W20, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect in which the symbols shown in FIGS. 144 (A11) to 156 (A46) change at high speed while switching. The frame lamp blinks in red at high speed.

(Brightness data table used when the design is promoted after the operation is promoted)
FIG. 220 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in a luminance data table used for a re-lottery part (promotion of a symbol after promotion of operation). The frame lamp child table WD20 shown in FIG. 220 is a continuation of the frame lamp child table WD19 shown in FIG. 219. As shown in FIG. 220, in the frame lamp child table WD20, the time of the re-lottery part is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is designated.

For example, the grandchild table W4 is specified between 5000 msec of time tB1 to tB4. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, and as shown in FIGS. 157 (B1) to 158 (B4), after the operation promotion is executed in the re-lottery part, "3". The frame lamp is blinked in white in response to the effect of displaying the design so that the design of is enlarged.

At times tB5 to tB9, the grandchild table W18 is designated. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W18, the effect control CPU 120 reduces the design of "3" as shown in FIGS. 157 (B5) to (B9) and displays it in a normal size. The frame lamp is blinked in rainbow color in response to the effect of confirming the symbol after the symbol of "3" is shaken and displayed.

It should be noted that the blinking of the rainbow color by the lamp control at the time tB5 to tB9 is more intense than the smooth rainbow color lighting by the lamp control based on the grandchild table W1. For example, at time tB5 to tB9, it blinks more violently than the smooth lighting of the rainbow color. In the time tB5 to tB9, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes, and the grandchild table is used for 10 minutes until the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD20 becomes 0. Based on the frame lamp keeps blinking rainbow color.

In this way, in the child table WD20 of the re-lottery part, as a lamp control when the symbol is finally decided after the re-lottery, the rainbow is the same as the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, WD16 of the hit epilogue part. The frame lamp lights up in color, but when the symbol is promoted from the symbol "2" and replaced with the symbol "3" by re-lottery, the blinking rainbow color in tB5 to tB9 is once "2" in the hit epilogue part. The lighting mode is more intense than the smooth rainbow-colored lighting when the symbol of is temporarily stopped. As a result, the player can effectively congratulate the player that the winning symbol has been promoted by the re-lottery depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

Further, when the symbol starts to move due to the re-lottery effect with the lights turned off and the symbol is swaying and displayed, the color is smooth rainbow color based on the luminance data corresponding to the re-lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild table W19). Flashes red in a different lighting mode. As a result, the player does not misunderstand that the hit symbol temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part is determined depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

In addition, the frame lamp is designed to blink in rainbow color with the start of the effect of confirming the symbol after the symbol of "3" as shown in FIGS. 159 (B7) to (B9) is shaken and displayed. Therefore, it is easy for the designer to decide the start trigger for blinking the frame lamp in rainbow color.

Further, the blinking of the rainbow color when the symbol of "3" is shaken and displayed as shown in FIG. 159 (B7) is subsequently during the period for determining the symbol as shown in FIGS. 159 (B8) and (B9). Will be taken over. In this way, during the symbol determination period that is performed in a short period of time, the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare repertoire is performed as it is without preparing a special luminance data table for lamp control. Therefore, the data. No extra capacity is added.

(Brightness data table used when the symbol is not promoted after the operation is promoted)
FIG. 221 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the re-lottery part (after the operation is promoted). The frame lamp child table WD21 shown in FIG. 221 is a continuation of the frame lamp child table WD19 shown in FIG. 219. As shown in FIG. 221, in the frame lamp child table WD21, the time of the re-lottery part is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is designated.

For example, the grandchild table W4 is specified between 5000 msec of time tC1 to tC4. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, and as shown in FIGS. 161 (C1) to 162 (C4), after the operation promotion is executed in the re-lottery part, "2". The frame lamp is blinked in white in response to the effect of displaying the design so that the design of is enlarged.

At times tC5 to tC9, the grandchild table W1 is designated. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W1 so that the design of "2" as shown in FIGS. 162 (C5) to 163 (C9) is shaken and displayed, and then the design is confirmed. The frame lamp is lit smoothly in rainbow color. In the time tC5 to tC9, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes, and the grandchild table W1 is performed for 10 minutes until the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD21 becomes 0. The frame lamp keeps the rainbow color lit based on.

In this way, in the child table WD21 of the re-lottery part, as a lamp control when the symbol is finally decided after the re-lottery, the grandchildren in common with the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, WD16 of the hit epilogue part. Table W1 is used. This eliminates the need to prepare separate grandchild tables for rainbow-colored lighting for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, reducing the data capacity used for lamp control and providing a sense of unity even for different parts (timing). It is possible to show the player a certain production. As a result, it is possible to show the player better the performance in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part while reducing the data capacity.

In addition, in the state where the hit symbol is temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the symbol is started to move by the re-lottery effect with the lights off, and the symbol is shaken and displayed. At that time, the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color based on the luminance data corresponding to the re-lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild tables W19 and W20). As a result, the player does not misunderstand that the hit symbol temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part is determined depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

In addition, the lighting of the rainbow color at the time tB5 to tB9 when the symbol of "2" is promoted to the symbol of "3" by the re-lottery is "2" without being promoted from the symbol of "2" by the re-lottery. The lighting mode is more intense than the smooth lighting of the rainbow color at the time tC5 to tC9 when the symbol of 1 is maintained. As a result, when the winning symbol is promoted in the re-lottery, the player can effectively congratulate the promotion of the winning symbol in the re-lottery depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp, and the winning symbol is promoted in the re-lottery. If not, the data capacity can be reduced by using the grandchild table W1 which is used in the hit epilogue part and is common to the grandchild table W1.

In addition, after the symbol of "2" as shown in FIGS. 163 (C7) to (C9) is finished, the symbol of "2" becomes a normal size and the symbol is fixed. Since the frame lamp is designed to light in the rainbow color, it is easy for the designer to decide the start opportunity to light the frame lamp in the rainbow color.

Further, the rainbow-colored lighting when the symbol of "3" as shown in FIG. 163 (C7) is shaken and displayed is subsequently during the period in which the symbol is determined as shown in FIGS. 163 (C8) and (C9). Will be taken over. In this way, during the symbol determination period that is performed in a short period of time, the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare repertoire is performed as it is without preparing a special luminance data table for lamp control. Therefore, the data. No extra capacity is added.

[Brightness data table used in fanfare repertoire]
FIG. 222 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in a luminance data table used for a fanfare repertoire. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD22 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52. As shown in FIG. 222, in the frame lamp child table WD22, the time of the fanfare repertoire is subdivided for the frame lamp, and the grandchild table referred to in each time zone is designated.

For example, at times tD1 and tE1, a grandchild table for turning off the frame lamp is specified. By performing lamp control based on the designated grandchild table, the effect control CPU 120 temporarily sets the frame lamp before the fanfare display is performed, as shown in FIG. 160 (D1) or FIG. 164 (E1). Turn off the lights.

At times tD2 and tE2, a grandchild table for lighting the frame lamp in a fanfare manner is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the designated grandchild table, and as shown in FIG. 160 (D2) or FIG. 164 (E2), sets the frame lamp in a fanfare mode in accordance with the fanfare effect. It is turned on in the lighting mode. At the time tD2 and tE2, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes, and the grandchild table is used for 10 minutes until the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD22 becomes 0. Based on the frame lamp keeps the fanfare mode lit.

As shown in FIG. 223, in the parent table in the smooth rainbow luminance data table, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600,000 msec (10 minutes), which is referred to when the lamp is controlled for each game effect lamp 9. Information that specifies the child table (WS1, YS1, LS1, AS1) to be created is stored.

FIG. 224 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table in the smooth rainbow luminance data table. As shown in FIG. 224, in the child table in the smooth rainbow luminance data table, a grandchild table (W1, Y1, L1, A1) referred to in a predetermined time zone is designated for each game effect lamp 9.

FIG. 225 is a diagram for explaining an example of a grandchild table for a frame lamp in a smooth rainbow luminance data table. As shown in FIG. 225, in the grandchild table W1 for the frame lamp, the "RGB" data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp has various brightnesses corresponding to seven colors (rainbow colors) at intervals of 30 msec. The data is sparsely specified. The effect control CPU 120 smoothly lights the frame lamp in the rainbow color corresponding to the hit determination by performing the lamp control based on the grandchild table W1.

FIG. 226 is a diagram for explaining an example of a grandchild table for the accessory lamp and the grandchild table for the left panel lamp in the smooth rainbow luminance data table. As shown in FIG. 226, in the grandchild table Y1 for the accessory lamp, "FFFF" data is specified for 600,000 msec (10 minutes) as the "RRRR" data output to the accessory lamp 9A. There is. The effect control CPU 120 lights the accessory lamp 9A in red by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table Y1. In the grandchild table L1 for the left panel lamp, the data of "FFFFF" is specified for 600,000 msec (10 minutes) as the data of "WWWWWW" output to the left panel lamp 9B. The effect control CPU 120 lights the panel left lamp 9B in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table L1.

FIG. 227 is a diagram for explaining an example of a grandchild table for an attacker lamp in a smooth rainbow luminance data table.

Brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks. For example, in response to the production in which Yumemu-chan located on the left side of the screen and Baku Chu located on the right side of the screen confront each other as shown in FIG. 63 (b4), a green frame corresponding to Yumemu-chan is used. Turn on the left lamp and turn on the right lamp of the frame in red corresponding to the explosion chew. At time tb5, the effect control CPU 120 has a green frame corresponding to Yumemu-chan, corresponding to the effect that Yumemu-chan, located on the left side of the screen, emits a line as shown in FIG. 63 (b5). Blink the left lamp. At time tb6, the effect control CPU 120 has a red frame right lamp corresponding to the explosion chew, corresponding to the effect that the explosion chew located on the right side of the screen emits a line as shown in FIG. 63 (b6). Flashes. As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters emitting lines are displayed, it is possible to appropriately express which character is emitting the lines by lighting / blinking the frame lamp, and the production in the fanning part is suitable for the game. Can be shown to others.

(Fan 17)
The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamps based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of different timings in one child table used in the fanning part, so that the frame lamps are turned on in yellow at a plurality of different timings. Then, by making the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 different in the lamp control between a plurality of timings different from each other, the time for turning on the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD9, it is used for lamp control by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing different grandchild tables at each of a plurality of different timings. While reducing the data capacity, the time to turn on the frame lamp can be different in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

(Fan 18)
The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white at a plurality of different timings by performing lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of different timings in one child table used in the fanning part. By differentiating the time for referring to the grandchild table W4 in the lamp control between a plurality of different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be set to 2 or 3 times. As a result, the data capacity used for lamp control can be reduced by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of a plurality of different timings. The number of times the white blinks can be made different. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

(Fan 19)
A plurality of different child tables WD9 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A, the child table WD12 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach B, and the child table WD15 used in the fanning part of the SP final reach. Since the reference time is changed while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each timing, SP reach while reducing the data capacity used for lamp control in multiple reach effects. The time to turn on the frame lamp can be different with the yellow color corresponding to the background of. Similarly, in the child table WD2 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach A and the child table WD5 used in the fanning part of the SP first half reach B, different grandchild tables should be prepared at each of a plurality of different timings. By changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3, the data capacity used for lamp control is reduced, and the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach is different. May be good.

(Fan 20)
Child table WD2 used in the fanning part of SP first half reach A, child table WD5 used in the fanning part of SP first half reach B, child table WD9 used in the fanning part of SP second half reach A, SP second half reach B fanning part In both the child table WD12 used and the child table WD15 used in the fanning part of the SP final reach, the common grandchild table W4 is used without preparing a separate grandchild table at each of a plurality of different timings. By changing the reference time, the number of white blinks can be made different while reducing the data capacity used for lamp control. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

(Fan cut-in 1)
The luminance data of the lamp control (RGB data in the grandchild tables W4, W5, W6) in the cut-in effect and the button display for the cut-in effect is the frame lamp at the same place as the lamp control in the fanning part of the SP final reach. Designed to be used. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lighting / blinking of the extra lamp from being mixed and spoiling the aesthetic appearance, and it is possible to provide an effect in a suitable fanning part.

(Win / Fail 13)
In the SP reach effect where the operation promotion that encourages the player to operate is not performed in the pass / fail branch, the player is given an effect that the effect is stopped by keeping the mute state and keeping the frame lamp lit in white. It can be shown, and the success / failure branch (decision timing) can be easily communicated to the player. On the other hand, in the SP reach effect in which the operation promotion is performed to encourage the player to operate in the pass / fail branch, the sound corresponding to the operation promotion and the sound corresponding to the reach (BGM) are output, and the operation promotion is further performed. By switching and using the grandchild table a plurality of times in order to control the frame lamp so as to correspond to the mode corresponding to the above, the timing of determining the success / failure branch can be suitably produced by the lighting mode of the frame lamp. As described above, it is possible to preferably produce the timing of determining the success / failure branch by different sound control and lamp control depending on whether the operation promotion is performed in the success / failure branch or the operation promotion is performed.

(Win / Fail 15)
In the child table WD9 in the SP latter half reach A, the reach is without operation promotion, and the frame lamp blinks in white based on the grandchild table W7, and then the frame lamp lights in white based on the grandchild table W8. Specifically, in the pass / fail branch in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A where the operation promotion is not performed, "FDC" (white lighting), which is the last brightness data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W7, is used. In addition, since the brightness data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W8 is designed, it is possible to inform the player of the success / failure branch (decision timing) in an easy-to-understand manner without increasing the data capacity used for lamp control too much. can.

(Win / Fail 17)
In the child table WD15 in the final reach of the SP, as shown in FIGS. 131 (r49) to 132 (r54), the frame lamp is output with the sound corresponding to the operation promotion and the sound corresponding to the reach (BGM). Will switch one after another, such as blinking white, lighting red, and blinking red, and it is possible to excite the effect of promoting the operation for the player at the hit / miss branch (determined timing).

(Win / Fail 20)
In the child table WD4 of the SP first half reach A, the child table WD7 of the SP first half reach B, the child table WD11 of the SP second half reach A, and the child table WD14 of the SP second half reach B, as in the SP final reach child table WD17, Based on the grandchild table W14, the frame lamp is lit in the lighting mode at the time of loss. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the frame lamp based on the grandchild table W14 for 5800 msec in the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, whereas in the SP final reach, it is 3900 msec. Meanwhile, the frame lamp is controlled by the grandchild table W14. In this way, it is possible to make the grandchild table used for lamp control at the time of loss common among a plurality of different reach, but to make the lamp control time different with reference to the grandchild table. As a result, in the child table used in each of the plurality of different reach, the reference time is changed while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a grandchild table dedicated to the time of loss in each of the different plurality of reach. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of data used for lamp control and to make the time for lighting the frame lamp different in the lighting mode corresponding to the loss. As a result, it is possible to notify the player of the loss in a suitable manner in each of the plurality of reach.

(Win / Fail 21)
From the lighting mode of the frame lamp based on the grandchild table W26 last specified in each of the child tables WD4, WD7, WD11, WD14, and WD17 used at the time of loss, the first designated grandchild of the child table WD18 used for relief. By switching to the lighting mode of the frame lamp based on the table W16, the frame lamp is lit in the same color (yellow) and brighter. As a result, at the time of relief hit, the frame lamp lights up in the same color (yellow) as the state after the loss notification and brighter than the state after the loss notification. Subsequent relief hit notifications can be shown to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Epilogue 9)
When the accessory is raised, the effect control CPU 120 gradually raises the accessory lamp 9A based on the child table corresponding to the ascending operation of the accessory lamp 9A and the grandchild table designated by the child table. The brightness of the accessory lamp 9A is gradually reduced so as to turn off the light. As a result, the lighting mode of the accessory lamp 9A does not make the player aware of the rising of the accessory, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp makes the screen showing that the SP second half reach A has been developed. You can draw the attention of the player.

(Epilogue 26)
In the hit epilogue part, by sharing the grandchild table used for hit notification and the grandchild table used for displaying the hit symbol, the rainbow color can be used without preparing a separate grandchild table at each of a plurality of different timings. While reducing the amount of data used for lamp control to turn on the light, each effect can be enlivened by the effect with a sense of unity. As a result, while reducing the data capacity, the player can better see the effect in the hit epilogue part by using the frame lamp.

(Epilogue 27)
In the child tables WD21 and WD22 of the re-lottery part, as a lamp control when the symbol is finally decided after the re-lottery, the grandchild table W1 is common to the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, WD16 of the hit epilogue part. Is used. This eliminates the need to prepare separate grandchild tables for rainbow-colored lighting for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, reducing the data capacity used for lamp control and providing a sense of unity even for different parts (timing). It is possible to show the player a certain production. As a result, it is possible to show the player better the performance in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part while reducing the data capacity.

(Re-lottery production 2)
As shown in FIG. 142 (tA6), when the hit symbol is temporarily stopped while the frame lamp is smoothly lit in rainbow color in the hit epilogue part, the frame lamp is temporarily turned on before the re-lottery effect is executed. After the lights are turned off, the frame lamp is turned on in a lighting mode corresponding to the re-lottery effect, so that the player can be easily informed that the re-lottery effect is started depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

(Re-lottery production 7, re-lottery production 14, re-lottery production 16)
In the state where the hit symbol is temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the re-lottery effect is executed with the lights off, and when the symbol is shaking and displayed, the re-lottery effect is performed. Based on the luminance data corresponding to (for example, RGB data in the grandchild table W25), the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color. As a result, the player does not misunderstand that the hit symbol temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part is determined depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Further, the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbols of "3" and "2" are shaken and displayed is inherited even during the period when the symbols are fixed. In this way, during the symbol determination period that is performed in a short period of time, the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare repertoire is performed as it is without preparing a special luminance data table for lamp control. Therefore, the data. No extra capacity is added.

(Re-lottery production 19)
In the child table WD21 of the re-lottery part, the grandchild table W1 is used in common with the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, WD16 of the hit epilogue part as the lamp control when the symbol is finally decided after the re-lottery. Be done. This eliminates the need to prepare separate grandchild tables for rainbow-colored lighting for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, reducing the data capacity used for lamp control and providing a sense of unity even for different parts (timing). It is possible to show the player a certain production. As a result, it is possible to show the player better the performance in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part while reducing the data capacity.

(Re-lottery production 20)
In the child table WD20 of the re-lottery part, the frame lamp lights up in the same rainbow color as the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, WD16 of the hit epilogue part as a lamp control when the symbol is finally decided after the re-lottery. However, when the symbol of "2" is promoted to the symbol of "3" by the re-lottery, the rainbow color lighting at tB7 to tB9 temporarily stops the symbol of "2" in the hit epilogue part. The lighting mode is more intense than the smooth rainbow-colored lighting in the case. As a result, the player can effectively congratulate the player that the winning symbol has been promoted by the re-lottery depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

<Detailed explanation of lamp control>
Next, regarding the above-mentioned lamp control, a feature portion to be particularly mentioned will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 261 to 263.

[Comparison of lamp control between hit and miss]
FIGS. 261 to 263 are diagrams for explaining a comparison of lamps at the time of hit and the time of loss.

First, the lamp control at the time of loss will be described with reference to FIG. 261. As shown in FIG. 261, at the final stage of the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8. In the grandchild table W8, "FDC" is specified at 100,000 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W8 to turn on the frame lamp in white in accordance with the effect of the success / failure branch (determined timing). Further, at the final of the fanning part in the SP final reach, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W10. In the grandchild table W10, "500" or "D00" is designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W10. By doing so, the frame lamp blinks in red in response to the effect of the success / failure branch (determined timing).

After that, in the lost epilogue part via the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A, B, the SP second half reach A, B, and the SP final reach, the lamp control is first performed based on the grandchild table W13. .. In the grandchild table W13, "888" is specified in the first 10 msec and "444" is specified in the next 190 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W13, so that the frame lamp is turned on in white in response to the effect that the ally character is defeated in the reach effect after the success / failure branch.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W13, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W14 this time. In the grandchild table W14, "444" or "111" is specified at intervals of 250 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W14, so that the frame lamp is lit in darker white than the white lighting based on the grandchild table W13 in response to the effect that the ally character is disappointed with. Let me.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W14, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W15. In the grandchild table W15, "444" is specified in the first 10 msec, "111" is specified in the next 550 msec, and the last 600,000 msec (10 minutes) is specified as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. ) Specifies "111". The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W15, so that the frame lamp is turned off in response to the effect that the screen goes dark due to the notification of loss.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W15, the lamp control is performed based on the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching) as described with reference to FIG. 190, and then the start part before reach is performed. The lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W26 which was also used in the above. In the grandchild table W26, as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, the data corresponding to the yellow pattern corresponding to the normal background is designated. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W26 to light the frame lamp in yellow (background yellow lighting pattern) corresponding to the normal background, as in the start part before reach.

Next, with reference to FIG. 262, the ramp control at the time of hitting will be described in the case of shifting to the hit epilogue part via the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B.

As shown in FIG. 262, at the final stage of the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W8 to turn on the frame lamp in white in accordance with the effect of the success / failure branch (determined timing).

After that, in the hit epilogue part via the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, the lamp control is first performed based on the grandchild table W19. In the grandchild table W19, "FFF" is specified in the first 40 msec and "333" is specified in the next 30 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white in response to the effect that the ally character wins by performing the lamp control based on the grandchild table W19.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W19, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1 this time. In the grandchild table W1, as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, data of various luminances corresponding to seven colors (rainbow colors) are sparsely specified at intervals of 30 msec. The effect control CPU 120 smoothly lights the frame lamp in the rainbow color corresponding to the hit determination by performing the lamp control based on the grandchild table W1.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21. In the grandchild table W21, "AAA" is sequentially specified for each lamp at intervals of 20 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, and finally to each lamp in 600,000 msec (10 minutes). On the other hand, "000" is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W21 to turn on the frame lamp in a bright white color corresponding to the pattern output in response to the effect of producing a hit symbol.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21, the lamp control is performed again based on the grandchild table W1. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W1 to smoothly turn on the frame lamp in a rainbow color in response to the effect that the winning symbol is finally displayed in the center of the screen.

Next, with reference to FIG. 263, the ramp control at the time of hit will be described in the case of shifting to the hit epilogue part via the fan part in the SP final reach.

As shown in FIG. 263, at the final stage of the fanning part in the SP final reach, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W10. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in red in response to the effect of the success / failure branch (determined timing) by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W10.

After that, in the hit epilogue part via the fanning part in the SP final reach, first, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W20. In the grandchild table W20, as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, data of various luminances corresponding to seven colors (rainbow colors) are sparsely specified in the first 40 msec, and in the next 30 msec, " 333 ”is specified, and such RGB data is repeatedly specified. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in seven colors in response to the effect of dropping the accessory by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W20.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W20, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1 this time. The effect control CPU 120 smoothly lights the frame lamp in the rainbow color corresponding to the hit determination by performing the lamp control based on the grandchild table W1.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W21 to turn on the frame lamp in a bright white color corresponding to the pattern output in response to the effect of producing a hit symbol.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21, the lamp control is performed again based on the grandchild table W1. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W1 to smoothly turn on the frame lamp in a rainbow color in response to the effect that the winning symbol is finally displayed in the center of the screen.

In the examples described with reference to FIGS. 261 to 263, characteristic portions will be described below.

(Win / Fail 19)
As shown in FIG. 261, when the transition to the lost epilogue part is performed via the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, the final luminance data (RGB data) in the fanning part is obtained. Whereas "FDC", the first luminance data (RGB data) in the lost epilogue part is "888" or "444". As a result, at the time of loss in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, it is possible to light the frame lamp darker in white while maintaining the same color by utilizing the white lighting in the pass / fail branch. Therefore, it is possible to notify the player that the loss has been made. Further, when the transition to the lost epilogue part is performed via the fanned part in the SP final reach, the final luminance data (RGB data) in the fanned part includes "D00", whereas the first luminance in the lost epilogue part is included. The data (RGB data) is "888" or "444". As a result, at the time of loss in the final reach of the SP, the frame lamp can be turned on in white, which is darker than the red blinking in the pass / fail branch, so that it is possible to notify the player that the loss is suitable.

(Character movement 1)
As shown in FIGS. 262 and 263, in the hit epilogue part, the frame lamp is smoothly lit in rainbow color based on the grandchild table W1, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 30 msec. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 261, at the time of loss, the frame lamp lights up darkly in white based on the grandchild table W14, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 250 msec, which is longer than the hit time. As a result, since the lighting color of the frame lamp is switched at shorter intervals in the hit time than in the loss time, it is possible to inform the player in an easy-to-understand manner that the hit is achieved depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Furthermore, while emphasizing the lighting by the frame lamp at the time of hitting more than at the time of losing, the lighting by the frame lamp can be made more calm at the time of losing than at the time of losing, and as a result, the lamp that contrasts hitting and losing. It is possible to convey to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Character movement 2)
As shown in FIG. 263, in the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, in the production where the accessory falls, the frame lamp is lamp-controlled based on the grandchild table W20, and the rainbow-colored chromatic color and the achromatic color ("" The frame lamp lights up so that the RGB data of "333") is alternately switched. As a result, by occasionally sandwiching an achromatic color with respect to the rainbow-colored chromatic color, it is possible to perform an effect that emphasizes the big hit and congratulates the player. After that, in the production where the ally character wins, the frame lamp is controlled by the lamp based on the grandchild table W21, and the frame lamp lights up in a smooth rainbow color without sandwiching the achromatic color, so that it became a big hit. It is possible to perform a production that congratulates the player in a calm manner. As a result, the effect in the epilogue part of the SP final reach can be preferably shown to the player.

(About the shaking mode of the design)
Here, the shaking mode of the symbol will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 264. FIG. 264 is a diagram for explaining the shaking mode of the design. During the symbol shaking period in the fanning part and the re-lottery part described above, the decorative symbol moves as in the first to third aspects shown in FIG. 264 (a) and the first to third aspects shown in FIG. 264 (b). It behaves like three modes. Specifically, the first aspect shown in FIG. 264 (a) is an aspect in which the decorative pattern is located at the center position of the screen. The second aspect shown in FIG. 264 (a) is an aspect in which the decorative symbol is located above the first aspect. The third aspect shown in FIG. 264 (a) is an aspect in which the decorative symbol is located below the first aspect.

Further, the first aspect shown in FIG. 264 (b) is an aspect in which the decorative pattern is located at the center position of the screen in front view. The second aspect shown in FIG. 264 (b) is an aspect in which the decorative symbol is oriented to the left more than the first aspect by rotating to the right with the center of the decorative symbol as the vertical axis. The third aspect shown in FIG. 264 (b) is an aspect in which the decorative symbol is oriented to the right rather than the first aspect by rotating counterclockwise with the center of the decorative symbol as the vertical axis.

(Modified example of re-lottery production)
FIG. 265 is a diagram for explaining a modified example of the re-lottery effect. FIG. 265 (A) is a detailed explanatory diagram of the re-lottery effect with 7 symbols. Further, FIG. 265 (B) is a timing chart of each re-lottery effect. As shown in FIG. 265 (A), the symbol is enlarged and displayed as shown in (D1) and (D2), and then the symbol is reduced as shown in (D3) and (D4). After that, as shown in (D5), the design becomes a normal size. Then, as shown in (D6), the background is switched to the background for the re-lottery effect, and the re-lottery effect starts. After that, as shown in (D7), there is a shaking period in which the symbol swings up and down. After that, the "7" symbol is reduced and displayed from (D8) to (D9).

After that, as shown in (D10), the button image and the time gauge are slightly displayed under the "7" symbol. After that, as shown in (D11), the button image and the time gauge are clearly displayed with the "7" symbol displayed. Then, as shown in (F12), the time gauge decreases with the passage of time. The time gauge is a display showing the validity period of the button operation. When the player operates the push button 31B from the state of (D12), as shown in (D13) to (D20), "7" fluctuates at high speed, and a faint display and a clear display are repeated. The same high-speed fluctuation is repeated after (D20).

As shown in FIG. 265 (B), as shown in the timing chart of each re-lottery effect, the symbol feed period when the re-lottery effect in which the symbol speed fluctuates at high speed is executed by the button operation is the same for any re-lottery effect. be. Here, the re-lottery effect includes a first re-lottery effect in which even-numbered symbols are changed to odd-numbered symbols, a second re-lottery effect in which even-numbered symbols do not change from even-numbered symbols, and a third re-lottery effect in which 7 symbols do not change. There is a production. For example, in the first re-lottery effect, when the symbol feed effect is started by being operated immediately from the timing when the button can be operated, there is a shaking period (t1) of the decorative symbol after the end of the symbol feed period, and then the symbol is confirmed. do.

Further, in the second re-lottery effect, when the button is operated after t2 from the timing when the button can be operated and the symbol feed effect is started, there is a shaking period (t1-t2) of the decorative symbol after the end of the symbol feed period. After that, the design is confirmed. Further, in the third re-lottery effect, when the button is operated after t1 from the timing when the button can be operated and the symbol feed effect is started, there is no shaking period of the decorative symbol after the end of the symbol feed period, and the symbol is fixed as it is. .. In this way, the symbol feed period is constant regardless of the timing at which the button is operated, and the time from the subsequent symbol shake period to the symbol confirmation is absorbed until the button operation. .. Such a relationship is the same when the button operation is executed in any of the re-lottery effects of the first re-lottery effect to the third re-lottery effect.

[About re-lottery production 26-28]
The featured parts of the re-lottery part will be numbered and explained.

(Modified example of re-lottery production)
FIG. 266 is a diagram for explaining a modified example of the re-lottery effect. As shown in FIGS. 266 (K1) to (K3), the decorative symbol moves in the same manner after the whiteout regardless of when the button is operated at any timing of the winning / failing decision scene. Specifically, when the button is operated immediately after the promotion display is displayed as shown in (K1), the character movable and the hit epilogue part are executed, and the epilogue part as shown in (K4) is executed. The design is put out. After that, after 5 seconds in the symbol shaking period, as shown in (K5), the three symbols are in a state of facing the front.

In addition, as shown in (K2), when the button is operated 1 second after the promotion display is displayed in the scene of winning / failing, the character is movable and the hit epilogue part is executed, as shown in (K4). Designs will be displayed in the epilogue part. After that, after 4 seconds in the symbol shaking period, as shown in (K6), the three symbols are in a state of facing the left side from the front. Further, as shown in (K3), when the button is operated 2 seconds after the promotion display is displayed in the scene of winning / failing, the character movement and the hit epilogue part are executed, and as shown in (K4). Designs will be displayed in the epilogue part. After that, after 3 seconds in the symbol shaking period, as shown in (K7), the three symbols are in a state of facing the right side from the front.

As described above, in the first operation timing, the symbol is in the front position after the symbol shaking period, in the second operation timing, the symbol is in the position facing to the left after the symbol shaking period, and in the third operation timing, the symbol is in the front position. After the shaking period of the symbol, the symbol may be in a position facing to the right. However, even if the orientation of the symbol is different during the shaking period of the symbol depending on the operation timing, after that, as shown in (K8) to (K17) as a common effect, the symbol is reduced while rotating after whiteout. The lottery effect is executed. Then, after (K17), the symbol feed effect is executed. Although the description has been made using odd-numbered symbols in FIG. 266, the same effect is executed for even-numbered symbols.

(Re-lottery production 26)
As shown in FIG. 266, when the image showing the stick controller 31A and the time gauge are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, the re-lottery effect is subsequently executed regardless of the timing of the operation. A time for shaking the symbol for absorbing the scale may be provided in the time until the predetermined timing to be performed (the period of shaking of the symbol from (K4)). Then, when the re-lottery effect is executed at a predetermined timing, a common effect accompanied by a whiteout as shown in (K8) to (K17) may be executed. According to this, regardless of the timing at which the stick controller 31A is operated, the symbol is once shaken and displayed, and then the common effect accompanied by whiteout is executed, and then the re-lottery effect is executed. Therefore, at the start of the re-lottery. It is possible to prevent the movement of the pattern from causing a sense of discomfort, and it is possible to make a series of effects more suitable.

(Re-lottery production 27)
From the time when the whiteout screen is displayed until the re-lottery effect is executed, any of the multiple reach may be common. According to this, the data capacity of the production data can be reduced.

(Re-lottery production 28)
The movement of the symbol after the whiteout screen may be an extension of the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen. For example, if the movement of the design in front of the whiteout screen is a movement that sways between the front side and the back side by the axis rotation around the vertical direction of the design, the movement after the whiteout screen is It may be a movement that makes one full clockwise rotation by rotating the axis around the vertical direction of the symbol while enlarging. According to this, by displaying a whiteout between the movements on the extension of the same axis rotation, it is possible to prevent the pattern from causing a sense of discomfort, and a series of effects can be preferably shown. be able to.

(Re-lottery production 29)
Among the plurality of SP reach, there is one in which the promotion of operation such as a button operation is not notified at the branch at the time of determining whether or not the control is in an advantageous state. In such SP reach, the scale shift due to the operation does not occur. However, even with such an SP reach, the same re-lottery effect as the SP reach in which the scale shift occurs may be executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent a sense of incongruity even when there is only one re-lottery effect due to the common effect regardless of the presence or absence of the scale deviation. In addition, the data capacity can be reduced by using one re-lottery effect.

(Re-lottery production 30)
As shown in FIG. 266, the timing is set so that the movement of the symbol after the whiteout screen is an extension of the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen. For example, the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen is one of a series of movements in which the symbol moves from the right position (K3) to the left position (K6) via the front position (K5). It is designed to be. That is, when the shaking of the symbol is one of a series of clockwise movements, the whiteout by the re-lottery effect is executed, and then the movement of enlarging the symbol and rotating clockwise continues. According to this, it is possible to prevent the movement of the symbol from causing a sense of discomfort due to the series of movements of the clockwise rotating symbol from the period of the symbol shaking to the re-lottery effect.

[About re-lottery production 21-25]
The featured parts of the re-lottery part will be numbered and explained.

(Modified example of re-lottery production)
FIG. 267 is a diagram for explaining a modified example of the re-lottery effect. (L1) is a diagram when the operation is operated at an early timing after the operation promotion display is displayed in the symbol feed period. (L2) is a diagram when the operation is operated at a timing later than (L1) after the operation promotion display is displayed. (L3) is a diagram when the operation is operated at a timing later than (L2) after the operation promotion display is displayed. Then, as shown in FIGS. 267 (L1) to (L3), the symbol output is performed in the same manner regardless of the timing at which the button is operated during the symbol feed period in the re-lottery effect. After that, the whiteout is sandwiched and the decorative pattern makes the same movement and then stops. Specifically, as shown in (L1), when the button is operated immediately after the operation promotion display is displayed, the symbol is output as shown in (L4) to (L5), and then the symbol is displayed. Is the normal size. After that, as shown in (L6), the symbols start to shake, and after a predetermined period of time, the three symbols as shown in (L7) are in a state of facing to the right from the front.

Further, as shown in (L2), when the button is operated at a timing later than (L1) after the operation promotion display is displayed, the symbols as shown in (L4) to (L5) are executed. After that, the design becomes the normal size. After that, as shown in (L6), the shaking of the symbols was started, and after the lapse of the symbol shaking period shorter than that in (L1), the three symbols as shown in (L8) turned to the right from the front. Become. Further, as shown in (L3), when the button is operated at a timing later than (L2) after the operation promotion display is displayed, the symbols as shown in (L4) to (L5) are executed. After that, the design becomes the normal size. After that, as shown in (L6), the shaking of the symbols is started, and after the lapse of the symbol shaking period shorter than that in (L2), the three symbols as shown in (L9) are in a state of facing the front.

As described above, in the first operation timing, the symbol is turned to the right side after the symbol shaking period, and in the second operation timing, the symbol is turned to the left side after the symbol shaking period, and the third operation timing is set. Then, after the shaking period of the symbol, the symbol may be in a position facing the front. However, even if the direction of the symbol is different during the shaking period of the symbol depending on the operation timing, after that, as shown in (J1) to (J10) as a common effect, the effect of reducing the design while rotating it after whiteout. Is executed. After that, as shown in (J11) to (J17), the symbol stops after the period of shaking of the symbol. Although the description has been made using odd-numbered symbols in FIG. 267, the same effect is executed for even-numbered symbols.

(Re-lottery production 21)
In the modified example, as shown in FIGS. 267 (L1) to (L3), the operation promotion display by the button image and the time gauge is displayed during the symbol feeding of the re-lottery effect. During the period in which the operation promotion display is displayed, the player operates the push button 31B to execute the common pattern output effect shown in (L4) to (L6). Regardless of which timing the push button 31B is operated, the effect of displaying a common symbol by enlarging and reducing the symbol as shown in (L4) to (L5) is executed. After that, the symbol shake is executed during the symbol shake period. The shaking period of the pattern differs depending on the operation timing of the button. Therefore, after the shaking period of the symbol, for example, in the first operation timing, the symbol faces the right side, in the second operation timing, the symbol faces the left side, and in the third operation timing, the symbol faces the left side. , The design may be in a position facing the front. However, regardless of the operation timing, a whiteout effect is sandwiched as a common effect from (J1) to (J18) thereafter, and an effect in which the symbol is shaken after the symbol is rotated and the symbol is reduced is executed. According to this, the design can be stopped neatly by performing a common effect regardless of the timing at which the push button 31B is operated, and a series of effects can be appropriately shown.

(Re-lottery production 22)
When the push button 31B is operated at the first timing during the operation valid period, the decorative symbol is displayed to be shaken after the notification of promotion is executed (example of FIG. 267 (L3) without operation). ). When the push button 31B was operated at the second timing earlier than the first timing during the operation valid period, the display that the decorative symbol shook was earlier than the first timing after the notification of whether to promote was executed. The display is extended by the minute (the operation in FIG. 267 (L2) is an example of the second timing). When the push button 31B was operated at the third timing earlier than the second timing during the operation valid period, the display that the decorative symbol shook was earlier than the second timing after the notification of whether to promote was executed. The display is extended by the minute (the operation in FIG. 267 (L1) is an example of the first timing). In this way, regardless of the timing at which the push button 31B is operated, the scale of the effect can be absorbed by the shaking time of the design. By performing a common effect after that, the design can be stopped neatly, and a series of effects can be shown favorably.

(Re-lottery production 23)
As shown in FIG. 267, after performing a whiteout as a common effect, an effect different from the conventional pattern mode in which the swaying decorative pattern is enlarged and rotated once is executed. According to this, regardless of the position of the symbol in the shaking of the shaku absorption symbol, by executing the effect of a different mode after sandwiching the whiteout, the flow of the effect until the symbol is stopped. It is possible to prevent discomfort.

(Re-lottery production 24)
As shown in FIG. 267, in the shaking period of the symbol, the symbol swings to the back side from (J10) to (J12), and then the symbol swings to the front side from (J13) to (J14) to the initial position. Change. After that, the symbol swings toward the front side from (J15) to (J16), and then the symbol swings toward the back side from (J17) to (J18) to change to the initial position. Such a series of movements may be repeated a plurality of times. However, during the period when the symbol is fixed, it is designed so that the symbol is always located at the initial position facing the front as shown in (J18). According to this, the symbol can be fixedly stopped in a manner that does not give a sense of discomfort to the player.

(Re-lottery production 25)
The game effect lamp 9 is designed to light up in a rainbow color at the timing of the whiteout of FIG. 267 (J1). The timing of (J1) is an effect executed as a common effect regardless of the operation timing. By setting the place where such a common effect is executed as the starting point of changing the game effect lamp 9, it is easy for the designer to decide the start opportunity. It should be noted that the timing of (J2) when the common start display is started may be the start trigger instead of the timing of (J1), and the start trigger may be any timing of the commonly executed effects.

<Main composition and effects>
The technical effects obtained by various configurations of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are individually listed below.

(F2019-116)
A gaming machine (for example, gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player.
Movable bodies (for example, accessories, movable bodies 32) and
A display means (for example, an image display device 5) is provided.
It is possible to execute a notification effect (for example, a notification effect that notifies whether or not a big hit is achieved) that notifies whether or not the control is in an advantageous state.
The notification effect includes an introduction part (for example, a fanning part) until the success / failure of whether or not the control is controlled to the advantageous state is notified, and a success / failure notification part (for example, a hit epilogue part) in which the success / failure is notified. A hit / fail notification part that notifies a big hit by moving the accessory, and an epilogue part (for example, a hit epilogue part) that is executed after the hit / fail notification is determined to be controlled to the advantageous state. Consists of, including
In the introductory part, the first character to which the dialogue sound emitted by the character is output and the dialogue subtitles are displayed for the dialogue sound is a friendly character (for example, the example shown in FIG. 115 (r2)).
The display means gives priority to the introduction display of the promotion display that prompts a specific operation with respect to the effect display in the introduction part at the timing of shifting from the introduction part to the pass / fail notification part, so that it is difficult to visually recognize the effect display. After that, the promotion display is performed in a state where the effect display can be visually recognized (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 131 (r49) to 132 (r54)).
In the hit / fail notification part in the notification effect executed when it is determined that the control to the advantageous state is performed, the movable body is moved from the first position (for example, the retracted position) to the second position on the front side of the display means. Advance to a position (eg, advance position) (eg, example shown in FIG. 133),
The display means is
When the movable body advances to the second position, an effect display for moving the movable body is performed, and the effect display is terminated while the movable body is retracting from the second position to the first position. Display corresponding to the epilogue part (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 173 and 174).
In the epilogue part, the final dialogue subtitle is displayed for the final dialogue sound emitted by the character, and then the display of the final dialogue subtitle is finished, and then the decorative pattern is enlarged and displayed using the center of the display area (for example,). Examples shown in FIGS. 134 to 136),
In the epilogue part, the ratio of displaying the dialogue subtitles for the dialogue sound emitted by the character is higher than the ratio of displaying the dialogue subtitles for the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the introduction part (for example, the example shown in FIG. 175). ..

Specifically, the character that first emits a line in each SP reach as a fanning part is a ally character (for example, FIG. 115 (r2)). According to this, the player can accurately recognize the ally character at the start of SP reach. In addition, at the timing of transition from the fanning part to the pass / fail notification part, the introduction image of the trigger display that prompts the operation of the trigger is displayed with priority over the display of the production in the fanning part, so that the production display of the fanning part disappears, and then The image for operating the trigger button and the effect in the fanning part can be visually recognized (for example, FIGS. 131 (r48) to (r51)). According to this, while giving an impact to the introductory image, the introduction image becomes an image of the trigger button, so that the production of the fanning part can be confirmed, so that the player can be excited. In addition, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the display from being spoiled in the flow of the production, which is the background display of the epilogue part by the time the evacuation of the accessory is completed. Further, since the symbol is enlarged and displayed after the display of the final dialogue subtitle is completed in the hit epilogue part, it is possible to prevent the subtitle display from overlapping with the symbol and misunderstanding that the message is a symbol output message. In addition, the above-mentioned fanning part that fanned the success or failure was updated by the development in which the ally character and the enemy character alternately compete with each other (for example, SP first half reach B and SP second half reach B, etc.). There is a scene where a ally character is damaged in the production in such a fanning part. In addition, in the production of such a fanning part, the image display switching interval is earlier than that of the epilogue part, and the number of image display switchings is also large. According to this, it is possible to make the fanning part look more suitable by making the fanning part develop faster than the epilogue part. In addition, since the subtitles are firmly attached in the slow-developing hit epilogue part, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is speaking and emphasize the blessing. In addition, in the fast-developing fanning part, firstly, the content is conveyed by switching the video, and the auxiliary subtitle display can be used so as not to interfere with the development of the video. As a result, a series of effects can be appropriately shown.

Consists of an epilogue part that is executed when it is determined to be done,
The notification effect includes a first notification effect and a second notification effect.
In both the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the dialogue sound emitted by the character is output.
In both the first notification effect and the second notification effect, there are cases where the dialogue subtitles are displayed for the dialogue sound emitted by the character and cases where the dialogue subtitles are not displayed.
The number of lines emitted by the character differs between the first notification effect and the second notification effect.
The ratio of displaying the dialogue subtitles for the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the epilogue part of the first notification effect is higher than the ratio of displaying the dialogue subtitles for the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the introduction part of the first notification effect. high,
The ratio of displaying the dialogue subtitles to the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the epilogue part of the second notification effect is higher than the ratio of displaying the dialogue subtitles to the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the introduction part of the second notification effect. high.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character's dialogue in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character in SP reach, which is the fanning part. ing. According to this, by displaying the subtitles firmly in the epilogue part, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is speaking. In addition, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to coordinate the feeling of blessing. In addition, since the screen changes more often in the fanning part than in the epilogue part, even if the subtitles are displayed, the display time will be shortened so that the production will not be disturbed by the auxiliary subtitle display. , It is possible to give the first priority to convey the effect by switching images. As a result, it is possible to perform a suitable effect in the fanning part.

Specifically, the characteristic portion of the detailed explanatory diagram of the game effect lamp 9 at the time of loss will be described. The effect screen is switched to the image at the time of loss after the effect of determining whether or not to win. After that, after the blackout display in which the loss display result is displayed, the screen is switched to the eye-catching screen. After that, a screen is displayed in which the symbol is fixed and stopped after the screen is switched to the normal screen. Further, the luminance data table is switched from the luminance data table at the time of winning / failing determination to the luminance data table at the time of loss. After that, it is switched to the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching). After that, it is switched to the background luminance data table at the start of fluctuation. Here, the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) at the timing of switching to the eye-catching screen. Further, the luminance data table is switched to the background luminance data table at the timing when the screen is switched to the normal screen. Then, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from blinking to off by receiving the symbol confirmation command, but the luminance data table for the background is not switched by receiving the symbol confirmation command. Further, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from extinguished to blinking by receiving the fluctuation pattern command of the next fluctuation, but the luminance data table for the background is not switched by receiving the symbol confirmation command. According to this, the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for the background at the end of the eye-catching screen, and the luminance data table is continued until the next fluctuation. Therefore, the luminance data table corresponding to the reception of the symbol confirmation command is received. It is not necessary to create a separate image, and it is possible to show the effect by the lamp without any discomfort from the effect at the time of loss to the next change, and it is possible to show a series of effects appropriately.

Before the movable body moves, a reduced pattern is displayed at a specific display position,
When the movable body is movable, the movable body covers the specific display position.
Depending on the movement of the movable body, the effect display corresponding to the movement of the movable body is performed in the layer that has priority over the display layer of the reduced pattern.
After the movable body starts retracting and is no longer positioned at the specific display position, the effect display is switched to the display corresponding to the effect after switching the state in which the reduced symbol is displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 171 and 172, the operation of the accessory switches the effect from the effect of the SP first half reach A to the effect of the SP second half reach A. Further, before the operation of the accessory, the "2" symbol is reduced and displayed in the lower left and right corners of the screen. When the character moves, the character falls so that the character "P" among the characters of the character is positioned to the position where it overlaps with the place where the reduced "2" decorative pattern was displayed. do. Further, the effect image corresponding to the movement of the accessory is displayed in the priority layer in front of the reduced display of the "2" symbol according to the operation of dropping the accessory. Then, after the accessory rises from the drop position and the "2" symbol does not overlap with the accessory, the effect image gradually becomes thinner, and the background and "2" symbol corresponding to the SP second half reach A become. It is displayed faintly. According to this, it is possible to prevent the display from being unattractive by displaying the reduced decorative pattern during the operation of the accessory. Further, the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation is displayed on the premise that the accessory is in a position where the accessory is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character returns to the initial position, the display will not look good. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the display from being spoiled by switching to the background display corresponding to the latter half of the SP by the time the accessory completes the return operation to the initial position. Further, since the reduced decorative pattern is displayed in the middle of the ascending of the accessory, it is possible to switch the appropriate effect according to the movement of the accessory.

There is a shield display that makes the effect display invisible when it becomes the closed mode after the closing operation, and makes the effect display visible by performing the opening operation after the closing operation.
Obstruction display can be executed at the timing related to the introduction part,
When the obstruction display performs a closing operation, the brightness of the effect display decreases as the visible area of the effect display becomes smaller.
When the shield display performs an opening operation, the brightness of the effect display increases as the area in which the effect display can be visually recognized increases.

Specifically, the shutter described above is an image that makes the image of the effect executed behind by making it invisible by closing it, and makes the image of the effect executed by opening it after closing visible. In addition, the shutter is executed at the timing related to the fanning part, that is, before the start of the fanning part. When the shutter is closed, the screen brightness is lowered as the visible area of the effect is narrowed, and when the shutter is opened, the screen brightness is reduced as the visible area of the effect is widened. Will be higher. According to this, the flow of the production can be shown favorably by giving reality when the shutter is closed and opened. In addition, although the image of the effect executed behind is made invisible or visible using the image of the shutter, the image may be an image other than the shutter, and the same effect is executed with the accessory. You may.

In the shield display, the color of the edge between the facing doors that makes the effect display invisible is expressed in black.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 58 described above, the image of the edge of the shutter is represented in black. According to this, it is possible to blur the boundary between the effect executed when the screen brightness is lowered and the edge of the shutter just before the shutter is completely closed as shown in FIG. 58 (a12), and to eliminate the sense of incongruity. .. Similarly, when the shutter as shown in FIG. 60 (a16) starts to open, the discomfort can be eliminated.

[Start 8]
After the shield display goes through the closing operation and then opens, the display corresponding to the introduction part is performed.
While the obstruction display is in the middle of the opening operation, the display corresponding to the introduction part is performed, and the brightness of the display corresponding to the introduction part is gradually increased, while the obstruction display release operation is completed. , The display corresponding to the introduction part does not proceed, and the display corresponding to the introduction part starts to progress after the release operation of the shield display is completed.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 60 and 61 described above, after the shutter is opened, the reach of the first half of the SP is started. Until the shutter is fully opened, the effect of reaching the first half of the SP is not started and the screen brightness gradually increases, and after the shutter is released, the effect of the first half of the SP progresses. According to this, since the effect of the reach in the first half of the SP is an effect that the player wants to pay attention to, it is possible to prevent dissatisfaction caused by the effect being executed before the shutter is opened.

[Start 9]
When the release operation of the shield display is completed, the light emitting means is turned off.
After the release operation of the shield display is completed and the image for one frame is displayed, the display corresponding to the introduction part proceeds and the light emitting means starts to emit light.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 193, in the child table WD1 of the start part, the frame lamp is turned off when the shutter is fully opened. Therefore, the timing at which the shutter is fully opened depends on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. It can be easily understood by the player. In addition, in the fanning part of SP first half reach A and the fanning part of SP first half reach B, which are executed after the start part, the shutter is started with the shutter fully open and the frame lamp is off, corresponding to each SP first half reach. The frame lamp starts lighting or blinking based on the brightness data table. In this way, after the shutter is fully opened and the frame lamp is turned off, the frame lamp starts to light as the production progresses in the SP first half reach, so that the player knows that the SP first half reach has started. Can be communicated in an easy-to-understand manner.

[Start 10]
The effect display starts to darken before starting the closing operation of the shield display, and ends the closing operation at the timing when the effect display completely darkens.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 57 (a9) described above, the brightness of the screen is lowered first before the shutter closing is started, and the shutter is closed at the timing when the shutter is completely closed. It has become. Here, if the brightness of the screen is lowered at the timing when the shutter is closed, the speed of darkening of the screen may become too fast. Therefore, by starting to reduce the screen brightness in advance, it is possible to appropriately show a series of effects by making the speed of screen darkening appropriate.

The light emitting control means controls the light emitting means by using the luminance data table for the shield display when performing the shield display.
The luminance data table for the shielding display is configured so that the luminance data is switched when the shielding display performs the closing operation, and the luminance data is not switched during the period until the shielding display is closed and the opening operation is performed. It is configured.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 193, in the child table WD1 of the start part, in the time ta1 to ta12 before the shutter is completely closed, the background lights yellow, red flashes, white flashes, red lights, and the like. In addition, the brightness data is switched so that the frame lamp lights / blinks while changing the color and brightness, whereas in the time ta13 to ta18 after the shutter is completely closed, the frame lamp is in a state where the brightness is lowered. The luminance data is maintained so that it lights up in red while maintaining it. As a result, before the shutter is closed, the effect in the start part is enlivened by the lighting mode of the frame lamp, and when the shutter is closed, the lighting mode of the frame lamp is maintained so that the player can adjust the content of the effect when the shutter is opened. As a result, it is possible to better show the player the production in the subsequent fanning part.

[Start 12]
The production display includes the display before the introduction part is started and the display during the introduction part.
In the start part, the shield display closes while the display corresponding to the predetermined effect is performed, and then the shield display performs the release operation, so that the introduction part starts.
There are multiple types of introduction parts, and it is not possible to recognize which introduction part will be executed until the release operation of the shield display is completed.

Specifically, until the shutter is released, the player does not know which SP first half reach will be started. According to this, it is possible to have an expectation as to which effect will be executed.

[Start 13]
The shield display may be performed at a timing other than the timing of shifting to the introduction part.

Specifically, the above-mentioned effect by the shutter may be executed at a timing other than the timing of developing in the first half of the SP. For example, the timing may be from the second re-variation to the third re-variation in the pseudo-ream. In addition, when the shutter is closed and then released, an icon image (for example, a green hold image) suggesting a change in the active hold, which is a hold display of the change, is displayed, and the active hold corresponds to the icon image. It may change (for example, change from blue to green). Further, the effect by the shutter may be executed at the timing of developing from the reach of the first half of the SP to the reach of the second half of the SP. According to this, it is possible to improve the interest of the production by the shutter.

[Start 14]
The timing at which the luminance data is maintained is the timing at which the closing operation of the shielding display is completed, the timing at which a predetermined period has elapsed after the closing operation of the shielding display is completed, or the timing related to the closing operation of the shielding display.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 193, in the child table WD1 of the start part, in the time ta1 to ta12 before the shutter is completely closed, the background lights yellow, red flashes, white flashes, red lights, and the like. In addition, the brightness data is switched so that the frame lamp lights / blinks while changing the color and brightness, whereas in the time ta13 to ta18 after the shutter is completely closed, the frame lamp is in a state where the brightness is lowered. The luminance data is maintained so that it lights up in red while maintaining it. As a result, before the shutter is closed, the effect in the start part is enlivened by the lighting mode of the frame lamp, and when the shutter is closed, the lighting mode of the frame lamp is maintained so that the player can adjust the content of the effect when the shutter is opened. As a result, it is possible to better show the player the production in the subsequent fanning part.

[Start 15]
The period during which the luminance data is maintained is the period from when the shield display is in the closed mode until the release operation is performed as it is, or until the shield display is in the closed mode and the promotion display for encouraging the operation by the player is performed. It is a period of.

Specifically, in addition to the above-mentioned pattern in which the shutter closes and automatically opens, a pattern in which a button image is displayed after the shutter closes and the shutter is released by executing a button operation may be provided. According to this, since a plurality of types of effects by the shutter are provided, the interest of the effects by the shutter is improved.

[Start 16]
At the timing when the obstruction display is closed and the promotion display is performed, the maintenance brightness data is switched to the changing brightness data, and the brightness data is switched to the maintenance brightness data again after the promotion display is performed.

Specifically, in the production using the shutter display as shown in FIGS. 58 and 59, after the shutter is displayed in the closed mode, the player's operation (for example, the operation of pressing a button, the infrared sensor) A promotion display may be performed to encourage (such as an action of holding a hand), and when the movement of the player corresponding to the promotion display is detected, an effect of opening the shutter may be performed. Then, while such a shutter display is in the closed mode, the lamp control is performed based on the brightness data table in which the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 (for example, the frame lamp) is maintained, while the shutter display is closed. At the timing when the promotion display is performed as a mode, the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 is switched to the brightness data table in which the lighting mode is changed, the lamp control is performed based on the brightness data table, and then the promotion display is performed ( In the state where the promotion display is continued), the lamp control may be performed again based on the brightness data table in which the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 is maintained. The luminance data table for maintaining the lighting mode used again after the promotion display is performed may be the same as the luminance data table for maintaining the lighting mode used before the promotion display is performed. However, they may be different. According to this, since the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 is maintained while the shutter display is in the closed mode, the player is asked to perform the next effect after the shutter display is in the open mode. Can be easily noticed.

[Start 17]
The promotion display is a display including a button image and a promotion character that encourages the player's action.
When the promotion character is displayed, the sound corresponding to the promotion character is output, and the luminance data whose luminance data changes in association with the sound is incorporated.

Specifically, in the production using the shutter display as shown in FIGS. 58 and 59, after the shutter is displayed in the closed mode, the player's operation (for example, the operation of pressing a button, the infrared sensor) A promotion display may be performed to encourage (such as an action of holding a hand), and when the movement of the player corresponding to the promotion display is detected, an effect of opening the shutter may be performed. Then, in the promotion display, even if a voice prompting the player's action (for example, a voice of "push") is output and a character prompting the player's action (for example, the character of "push") is displayed. good. Further, the lamp control of the game effect lamp 9 may be performed based on the luminance data table that changes the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 (for example, the frame lamp) in response to the voice prompting the player's operation. In this way, the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 changes in response to the voice prompting the player's movement. Therefore, the player's operation depends on the voice prompting the player's movement and the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. It is possible to emphasize the character display that prompts the player, and it is possible to make the player perform an action corresponding to the promotion display more effectively.

A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player.
With multiple light emitting means,
Equipped with a light emitting control means for controlling the light emitting means,
The light emitting control means controls the light emitting means by using a luminance data table composed of luminance data.
It is possible to execute a notification effect that notifies whether or not the control is in the advantageous state.
The notification effect is executed when it is determined that the introduction part is notified of whether or not it is controlled to the advantageous state, and that it is controlled to the advantageous state after the notification of the result. Consists of including an epilogue part that is
The introductory part is
The first scene in which the first character and the second character are displayed and the dialogue sound emitted by the first character is output, and
The first character and the second character are displayed, and the second scene in which the dialogue sound emitted by the second character is output is included.
The light emission control means is
In the first scene, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the first scene.
In the second scene, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the second scene.
In the luminance data table corresponding to the first scene, the light emitting means on the side where the first character is displayed among the plurality of light emitting means is set to the light emitting color corresponding to the first character, and the second character among the plurality of light emitting means is used. When the luminance data in which the light emitting means on the displayed side is the light emitting color corresponding to the second character is switched corresponding to the dialogue sound emitted by the first character, the first character among the plurality of light emitting means is displayed. The brightness of the light emitting means on the side of the light emitting means is switched, and the brightness of the light emitting means on the side in which the second character is displayed among the plurality of light emitting means is not switched.
In the luminance data table corresponding to the second scene, the light emitting means on the side where the first character is displayed among the plurality of light emitting means is set to the light emitting color corresponding to the first character, and the second character among the plurality of light emitting means is used. When the luminance data in which the light emitting means on the displayed side is the emission color corresponding to the second character is switched corresponding to the dialogue sound emitted by the second character, the first character among the plurality of light emitting means is displayed. The brightness of the light emitting means on the side of the light emitting means is not switched, and the brightness of the light emitting means on the side in which the second character is displayed is switched among the plurality of light emitting means.

Specifically, when a character appears, brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character, and when the character emits a line, the character is specified. The brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to. For example, in response to the production in which Yumemu-chan located on the left side of the screen and Baku Chu located on the right side of the screen confront each other as shown in FIG. 63 (b4), a green frame corresponding to Yumemu-chan is used. Turn on the left lamp and turn on the right lamp of the frame in red corresponding to the explosion chew. At time tb5, the effect control CPU 120 has a green frame corresponding to Yumemu-chan, corresponding to the effect that Yumemu-chan, located on the left side of the screen, emits a line as shown in FIG. 63 (b5). Blink the left lamp. At time tb6, the effect control CPU 120 has a red frame right lamp corresponding to the explosion chew, corresponding to the effect that the explosion chew located on the right side of the screen emits a line as shown in FIG. 63 (b6). Flashes. As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters emitting lines are displayed, it is possible to appropriately express which character is emitting the lines by lighting / blinking the frame lamp, and the production in the fanning part is suitable for the game. Can be shown to others.

[Fan 11]
In the state where the first character and the second character are displayed, the dialogue subtitles are displayed in each of the scene where the dialogue sound of the first character is output and the scene where the dialogue sound of the second character is output. , The dialogue subtitles are displayed in a certain position with a certain font.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 63 (b5) and 63 (b6) described above, there is a scene in which each character emits a line in a situation where a friendly character and an enemy character are displayed. Under such circumstances, the subtitle display for the dialogue has a certain size and is displayed at a certain display position. According to this, it is possible to reduce the chance that a bug or the like gets angry by not changing the display mode of the dialogue for each character.

[Fan 12]
In the introductory part, there is a specific scene where the dialogue sound emitted by the character and the operation sound corresponding to the movement of the character are output.
In the specific scene, the dialogue sound is output louder than the operating sound.

Specifically, in the fanning part, there is a scene where the SP reach BGM is output and the dialogue sound and the physical sound (also referred to as the operation sound) are output at the timing of overlapping. When the dialogue sound and the physical sound are output at the overlapping timing, the dialogue sound is output at a louder volume when it is output from the speakers 8L and 8R than the physical sound. According to this, while the physical sound is output as a part of the production to bring out the reality of the production, the content of the production is given to the player by outputting a large dialogue sound when the dialogue sound and the physical sound overlap. It can be easily communicated. Therefore, as a result, it is possible to make the production in the fanning part look better.

[Fan 13]
Various sounds such as BGM, operation sounds, sound effects, and dialogue sounds are output according to the production performed in the introductory part.
At the design stage, the volume of the various sounds is adjusted by outputting various sounds together with the display corresponding to the effect performed in the introduction part.

Specifically, the work process when actually making various effects in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. First, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a video for each production corresponding to a fluctuation time such as SP reach is created. Along with this video, BGM, physical sounds, onomatopoeia, sound effects, dialogue sounds, and other production sounds are added one by one with dedicated software. The finished image and sound are played, and the strength of the sound is further added. In such a series of work processes, rather than outputting the sound with reality while keeping the actual sense of distance on the image, the sound is output ignoring the actual sense of distance that is easily transmitted to the player by discarding the reality. Sound data is set as follows. Thereby, a series of effects can be preferably shown.

[Fan 14]
When the output of the operation sound corresponding to one character and the output of the dialogue sound overlap, the volume is adjusted so that the volume of the dialogue sound is louder than the volume of the operation sound.

Specifically, when the physical sound of the character and the dialogue sound are output in an overlapping manner, the dialogue sound is adjusted and output so as to be heard louder than the physical sound. For example, when the physical sound and the dialogue sound are output in an overlapping manner, as shown in FIG. 166 (B), the SP reach BGM is adjusted to be reduced according to the output period of the dialogue sound. By doing so, it is possible to easily convey the content of the production to the player while giving reality.

[Fan 15]
When the output of the dialogue sound of the first character with a long sense of distance and the output of the operation sound of the second character with a close sense of distance overlap in the front view of the screen, the volume of the dialogue sound is higher than the volume of the operation sound. The volume is adjusted so that is louder.

Specifically, when the dialogue sound of a character whose distance is far from the player and the physical sound whose distance is close to the player overlap, the dialogue sound is heard louder than the physical sound. The data is set. As a result, the sound that ignores the actual sense of distance that is easily transmitted to the player by discarding the reality is output, so that the content of the production can be easily transmitted to the player.

[Fan 16]
The volume of the dialogue sound in which the subtitles are not displayed when the output of the operation sound and the dialogue sound overlap and the subtitle is not displayed, and when the output of the operation sound and the dialogue sound overlap and the subtitle is displayed. The volume is adjusted so that the volume of the dialogue sound on which the subtitles are displayed is louder than that.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 166 (B) and 166 (C), the dialogue sound is divided into the case where the dialogue sound overlapping with the physical sound has subtitles and the case where the dialogue sound overlapping with the physical sound has no subtitles. If there are subtitles, the volume of the SP reach BGM will be adjusted so that it sounds louder. The dialogue sound with subtitles is more related to the content of SP reach than the dialogue sound without subtitles. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the production by outputting a large amount of the dialogue sound with subtitles related to the content of the SP reach.

[Fan 21]
In the introductory part, there is a specific scene in which the first dialogue subtitle is displayed for the first dialogue sound emitted by the character, and the second dialogue subtitle is displayed for the second dialogue sound emitted by the character.
In a specific scene, the display of the second line subtitle is started while the first line subtitle is displayed, then the display of the first line subtitle ends, and the second line subtitle is displayed. And
A fade effect is applied to at least one of the time when the display of the first serif subtitle ends and the time when the display of the second serif subtitle starts.

Specifically, in the fanning part, as shown in FIG. 178 (A), there is a scene in which subtitles are displayed for the dialogue of the character. When the subtitles are displayed, there is a period in which the display period of the first subtitle displayed first and the display period of the second subtitle displayed next overlap each other. A fade effect is added when the first subtitle and the second subtitle are displayed so as to overlap each other. Due to the fade effect, changes occur when the transmittance of the displayed characters is different. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, the change of the subtitles can be easily understood by the fade effect, so that the switching of the subtitles can be easily understood.

[Fan 22]
In a scene where multiple characters face each other
When the dialogue sound of one character is output, the first subtitle corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed, and then when the dialogue sound of the other character is output, the second subtitle corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed. Being done
The second subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 50% so that the first subtitle overlaps the portion displayed with a transmittance of 0%, and then the first subtitle is displayed when the second subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. Is finished.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 178 (A), in the scene where the characters face each other, the first subtitle corresponding to the dialogue of one character is displayed, and then the second subtitle corresponding to the dialogue of another character is displayed. Subtitles may be displayed. In this case, the second subtitle is displayed overlapping the place where the first subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 0% and the second subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 70%. After that, the first subtitle fades out, the second subtitle fades in, and the transmittance is displayed as 0%. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, it is easy to understand the switching of the subtitles due to the fade effect.

[Fan 23]
The dialogue sound corresponding to the second subtitle is
It is not output when the first subtitle and the second subtitle are displayed so as to overlap and at least one of them has a fade effect.
Output when only the second subtitle is displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 179, the output timing of the dialogue sound corresponding to the second subtitle of "found" is displayed so that the first subtitle and the second subtitle overlap, and a fade effect is added. It is not output during the period. Then, the serif sound corresponding to the second subtitle is output from the time when the second subtitle is displayed with the transmittance of 0%. According to this, it is easy to understand the switching of subtitles due to the fade effect, and since the dialogue sound is output after the second subtitle is displayed, it is possible to easily grasp the content of the effect visually and audibly.

[Fan 24]
In the advantageous state, the music is output and the lyrics are displayed.
When switching from the display of the first subtitle to the display of the second subtitle in the lyrics display, the fade effect is not added to the display of any of the subtitles.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 178, during the jackpot round, the effect of the character singing along with the music is executed. Then, subtitles (lyrics) are displayed as the song progresses. However, during the jackpot round, the fade effect is not added even if the subtitles (lyrics) are displayed continuously. This is because when the music is playing, the progress of the music can be understood by the rhythm, so even if the subtitles (lyrics) are switched without adding a fade effect, the timing of switching is easy to understand. Further, since the music during the jackpot round is a typical music of the content mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, the lyrics displayed next are easy for the player to understand even if the fade effect is not added. According to this, the work of adding the fade effect can be omitted during the big hit round, and a series of productions can be shown well.

[Fan 25]
Character dialogue sounds may overlap in either the introductory part or the epilogue part.
The introductory part has a higher rate of overlapping dialogue sounds than the epilogue part.

Specifically, although not shown, the timing of subtitle display may overlap even in the epilogue part. However, as shown in FIG. 180, in the epilogue part, there are many scenes in which the period from the subtitle display to the subtitle display is longer than that in the fan part. This is because the fanning part progresses quickly, and the epilogue part does not progress as fast as the fanning part. As a result, the ratio of the fanned part to be displayed at the timing when the subtitles are overlapped is higher than that of the epilogue part. In such a case, by effectively adding a fade effect to the subtitle display, it is possible to prevent a sense of discomfort when switching the subtitles.

[Fan 26]
Even in certain scenes where the subtitles do not overlap
A fade effect is added when the subtitle is displayed or when the subtitle disappears.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 180, a fade effect is added to the subtitle display even in a predetermined scene in the portion (o3) to (o5) where the first subtitle and the second subtitle do not cover. As for the fade effect, at least one of the fade-in effect and the fade-out effect may be added. In the subtitle display created after the video is created, it takes time and effort to add a fade effect depending on whether or not the subtitle display is covered. Therefore, by uniformly applying a fade effect to the subtitle display, it is possible to prevent the work load from increasing.

[Fan 27]
The display of the first subtitle without the fade effect and the display of the second subtitle may be interchanged.
It is conceivable to set a blank period between the display of the first subtitle and the display of the second subtitle, but if a long line sound or a fast-paced line sound is output, a feeling of strangeness appears. Therefore, the blank period is not provided.

Specifically, FIG. 181 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example of subtitle display. For example, as shown in Comparative Example 1 of FIG. 181 (A), subtitles for similar lines such as "found" and "found" may be continuously displayed. In such a case, if the subtitle display is switched without any fade effect and without a blank period, it becomes difficult to understand the switching of the subtitle display. In addition, regarding the display of subtitles for long lines and the display of subtitles for fast-moving lines, there is a possibility that a sense of incongruity may occur when the subtitles are switched without providing a blank period. In such a case, the discomfort can be eliminated by adding a fade effect to the subtitle display. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 2 of FIG. 181 (B), it is conceivable to superimpose "found" on the subtitle display of "found" and then display "found". In such a case, the subtitle display becomes difficult to see by not adding the fade effect. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 3 of FIG. 181 (C), it is conceivable to display the subtitle display of "found" and the subtitle display of "found" in two upper and lower rows. In such a case, the subtitle display reduces the display area of the effect, which hinders the effect in areas other than the area where the subtitle display is displayed. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, such a problem can be solved by adding a fade effect to the subtitle display.

[Fan cut-in 1]
The display means is
In the introductory part, a promotion display is performed to encourage the player to perform a specific action, and when the specific action is performed, a cut-in display is performed.
In the introductory part, the dialogue sound emitted by the character is output, and the dialogue subtitles are displayed in a specific area of the display means for the dialogue sound.
At the timing of performing the promotion display in the introduction part, the dialogue subtitles are not displayed in the specific area,
The luminance data table includes a luminance data table for cut-in display corresponding to the cut-in display and a luminance data table for an introduction part corresponding to an introduction part.
The light emitting means in which the luminance data is set in the cut-in display luminance data table includes at least the same place as the luminous means in which the luminance data is set in the introduction part luminance data table.

Specifically, the luminance data of the lamp control (RGB data in the grandchild tables W4, W5, W6) in the cut-in effect and the button display for the cut-in effect is the same as the lamp control in the fanning part of the SP final reach. It is designed to use a frame lamp at the location. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lighting / blinking of the extra lamp from being mixed and spoiling the aesthetic appearance, and it is possible to provide an effect in a suitable fanning part.

[Fan cut-in 2]
Dialogue subtitles are displayed in the scene before the button where the promotion display is performed.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 127 (r39) to 128 (r42), the subtitle display is displayed before the promotion display of the button image is displayed at the timing when the cut-in display is executed. .. According to this, since the button image can be continuously shown to the player who is watching the screen by paying attention to the subtitle display, it is possible not to miss the button image, and the cut-in display is preferably executed. Can be done.

[Fan cut-in 3]
At the timing when the cut-in display ends, the subtitles corresponding to the dialogue sound are not displayed, and after a period in which the dialogue sound is not output, the dialogue sound is output and the subtitles corresponding to the dialogue sound are displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 128 (r41) to 130 (r47) described above, the design is such that there is no dialogue during a predetermined period after the cut-in display is separated. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined period without dialogue, a dialogue is issued, and a subtitle is displayed for the dialogue. According to this, the player can concentrate on the production in the period after the cut-in display, and a suitable cut-in display can be obtained.

[Win / Fail 1]
In the success / failure notification part,
The player is notified of whether or not the control is in an advantageous state, and the player is notified.
A promotion display is made to encourage the player to perform a specific action.
Performed between the introductory part and the epilogue part,
The movable body moves after the promotion display is performed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 132 (r54) described above, the scene of the decision of success or failure was between the fanning part and the epilogue part. Then, in the scene of winning / failing, the player is notified whether or not it is a big hit after the trigger is operated as an operating means. In addition, in the scene of winning or failing, the accessory was movable after the trigger operation in the case of a big hit. According to this, the interest of the production is improved by setting a suitable scene for determining whether or not the result is made by using the operating means.

[Win / Fail 2]
In the success / failure notification part executed after the introduction part,
By performing the introduction display of the promotion display in the state where the expansion display is performed before the promotion display is performed, the expansion display becomes invisible, and then the promotion display is performed in the state where the expansion display can be visually recognized. ..

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 130 (r47) to 132 (r54), the subtitles are displayed by the ally character before the image corresponding to the operating means is displayed, and then the operating means is supported. The screen makes it impossible to see the effect that was being performed. Then, the effect executed after that can be recognized again together with the image of the operating means. According to this, while giving an impact by displaying the introduction of the operating means on the entire screen, it is possible to display the effect that was firmly executed at the timing when the operating means can be operated, and to show the progress of the effect appropriately. ..

[Win / Fail 3]
The expanded display is performed on the back side of the introduction display.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 130 (r48) to 131 (r51) described above, introduction images (images of (r49) to (r50)) for enabling the operation means are displayed. The production is in progress even in the middle. According to this, by advancing the effect behind the scenes, it is possible to pay attention to the image (image of (r51)) in which the operating means can be operated, and also to pay attention to the development of the effect.

[Win / Fail 4]
The expanded display is performed while the promotion display is being performed.

Specifically, in FIGS. 132 (r51) to 132 (r54) described above, when the trigger image as the promotion display is displayed, the tail moves slightly at each image change in the image of Baku Chu. Was there. In this way, the effect may be advanced while the promotion display is displayed. Here, as the progress of the production, the scene may be switched or the character may move instead of moving the tail. According to this, it is possible to pay attention to the development of the effect during the promotion display.

The introductory part consists of a predetermined period and a slow motion period after the predetermined period and before the pass / fail notification.
During a predetermined period, the movement of the character is depicted using multiple image data.
In the slow motion period, the movement of the character is depicted by adding an effect effect to one image data.

Specifically, the scene before the decision of whether or not (r48) is performed in the fanning part is a slow motion period in which the movement of the image is slowed down. In addition, the effect executed before (r48) depicts the movement of the character from a plurality of image data, while the effect executed in (r48) is the image of Baku Chu and six allies. Performed with images. Then, the image of the ally character and the image of the enemy character are gradually enlarged and displayed with the passage of time to make the character appear to be operating. Here, if an image is created in the slow motion period using the same amount of image data as in the period other than the slow motion period, the amount of data is small and the movement becomes awkward. However, if a large amount of data is used to smooth the movement during the slow motion period, the capacity becomes too large. Therefore, the data capacity can be reduced by reducing the number of images used during the slow motion period and making the character appear to be moving by switching and enlarging the display. The number of images used in the slow motion period may be any number as long as it is smaller than the number other than the slow motion period.

The epilogue part is a blessing part after the decision to be controlled to the advantageous state is notified, there is a scene where the enemy character is killed, there is no scene where the ally character is damaged, and the number of display changes is introduced. Less than a part.

Specifically, the above-mentioned hit epilogue part is a part that does not shift at the time of loss, and there is a scene in which the enemy character is disadvantageous and a scene in which the ally character is advantageous. Further, in the hit epilogue part, the number of switching of the image display in the production is smaller than that in the fanning part. According to this, it is possible to execute an appropriate effect in each part, and it is possible to appropriately show the flow of a series of effects.

[Epilogue 2]
In the epilogue part, the percentage of dialogue subtitles displayed for the character's dialogue is higher than the percentage of dialogue subtitles displayed for the character's dialogue in the introductory part.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character's dialogue in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character in SP reach, which is the fanning part. ing. According to this, by displaying the subtitles firmly in the epilogue part, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is speaking. In addition, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to coordinate the feeling of blessing. In addition, since the screen changes more often in the fanning part than in the epilogue part, even if the subtitles are displayed, the display time will be shortened so that the production will not be disturbed by the auxiliary subtitle display. , It is possible to give the first priority to convey the effect by switching images. As a result, it is possible to perform a suitable effect in the fanning part.

[Epilog 3]
In the epilogue part, dialogue subtitles are always displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, the epilogue part is configured to always display subtitles for dialogue. According to this, the blessing can be emphasized by clearly showing what the character is speaking in the hit epilogue part.

[Epilog 4]
In the introductory part, if the dialogue sound is output in the scene where the enemy character is damaged, the dialogue subtitles will not be displayed,
In the epilogue part, if the dialogue sound is output in the scene where the enemy character is damaged, the dialogue subtitles are displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 104 (n10) described above, subtitles are not added to the lines of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character is damaged in the fanning part. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 110 (o1), subtitles are added to the lines of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character in the hit epilogue part is damaged (the scene of catching a crab). According to this, the subtitle display that was not displayed in the fanning part is displayed in the hit epilogue part, so that the feeling of blessing can be emphasized.

[Epilog 5]
There are a first introduction part and a second introduction part, each of which has a different development and a different number of lines, but in the epilogue part, the ratio of the line subtitles displayed to the output of the character's line sound is in the introduction part. It is higher than the ratio of the dialogue subtitles to the output of the dialogue sound of the character.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, there are a plurality of types of SP reach, which is a fanning part, and the development of the production is different for each, and the number of lines is also different. However, in any SP reach, the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character's dialogue in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for the character in SP reach. According to this, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is speaking by firmly displaying the subtitles in the epilogue part regardless of which SP reach is executed. In addition, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to coordinate the feeling of blessing. In addition, since there are more screen changes in the fanning part than in the epilogue part, it is possible to prevent the production from being disturbed by the auxiliary subtitle display, with the first priority being to convey the production by switching images. .. As a result, it is possible to perform a suitable effect in the fanning part.

[Epilog 6]
The final dialogue subtitles displayed in the epilogue part are longer than the dialogue subtitles of the same number of characters displayed in other scenes.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 134 (s5) to 134 (s6) described above, the subtitle display displayed in the hit epilogue part is designed to be displayed for a longer period than the subtitle display displayed in the fan part. ing. According to this, by displaying the subtitle display in the final hit epilogue part for a long period of time, the player can be immersed in the afterglow of the big hit and the blessing can be emphasized. When displaying the subtitle display, the one with a large number of characters may be displayed longer than the case with a small number of characters. Even in such a case, if the same number of subtitles (for example, 5 characters) is displayed in the hit epilogue part and the fanning part, the subtitle display period is longer in the hit epilogue part. It should be designed as follows.

[Epilog 7]
When the movable body is in the advanced position, the background display for the movable body is performed, and
The movable body operates according to the evacuation pattern in which the movable body retracts, and the background display for the movable body is switched to the epilogue display by the end of the evacuation pattern.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 173 to 174, an effect image corresponding to the accessory movement is displayed according to the movement of the accessory falling. After that, the accessory moves to the initial position according to a predetermined evacuation pattern. The display gradually switches from the effect image corresponding to the character movement to the screen corresponding to the SP final reach hit epilogue part while the character is rising. Here, the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation is displayed on the premise that the accessory is at a position where the accessory is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character returns to the initial position, the display will not look good. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the display from being spoiled by switching to the background display corresponding to the reach of the first half of the SP by the time the accessory completes the return operation to the initial position.

[Epilog 8]
The deformed member performs a storage operation and a return operation.
The timing of switching to the epilogue display is linked to the start timing of the return operation.

Specifically, on the premise that the accessory returns to the initial position, the timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue is the rising timing related to the start timing of the return operation. According to this, since the display corresponding to the epilogue is switched at the timing related to the start of the return operation, the display of the effect image corresponding to the accessory operation ends before the accessory returns to the initial position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the situation where the effect image is displayed when the accessory returns to the initial position, and the aesthetic appearance of the production is not spoiled. The timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue may be the same as the timing at which the accessory starts to rise. Further, the accessory may perform a rotation operation or a movement operation at the falling position.

[Epilogue 9]
During the return operation, the light emitting means of the movable body approaches turning off due to fading out.

Specifically, when the accessory is raised, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the child table corresponding to the ascending operation of the accessory lamp 9A and the grandchild table designated by the child table. The brightness of the accessory lamp 9A is gradually reduced so that the object lamp 9A is gradually turned off. As a result, the lighting mode of the accessory lamp 9A does not make the player aware of the rising of the accessory, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp makes the screen showing that the SP second half reach A has been developed. You can draw the attention of the player.

[Epilog 10]
BGM linked to the image corresponding to the epilogue suggests switching,
BGM is output in conjunction with the start of epilogue display.

According to this, the epilogue part can be suitably started by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by the sound effect.

[Epilogue 12]
In conjunction with the start of the epilogue display, BGM and a sound effect suggesting switching are output.

Specifically, the BGM and the sound effect corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the return operation of the accessory to the initial position and the start of the display corresponding to the epilogue. According to this, the epilogue part can be suitably started by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by the BGM and the sound effect.

[Epilogue 13]
In the epilogue display during the return operation of the movable body, no dialogue sound is output.
In the epilogue display after the movable body is stored, a serif sound is output and a serif subtitle corresponding to the serif sound is displayed.

Specifically, the dialogue sound is not output in the situation where the accessory returns to the initial position and the display corresponding to the epilogue is displayed, and the dialogue sound is output in the epilogue display after the accessory returns to the initial position. All you have to do is output and display the subtitles. According to this, it is possible to avoid displaying the subtitles at a timing when the subtitles are difficult to see, and to preferably execute the epilogue part.

[Epilogue 14]
A dialogue sound is output and generated at the timing of evacuation of the movable body.
A serif sound is output when the storage of the movable body is completed, and the serif subtitle corresponding to the serif sound is displayed.

Specifically, when the accessory returns to the initial position, the dialogue sound may be output and the subtitles may be displayed in the epilogue display. According to this, the dialogue can be recognized firmly, and the epilogue part can be preferably executed.

[Epilogue 15]
The display of the dialogue subtitle corresponding to the dialogue sound output at the end of the epilogue part ends at the start timing of the pattern output.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 134 (s6) to 135 (s8) described above, the final subtitle display for the final dialogue in the hit epilogue part is erased before the patterning effect is executed. It is designed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the subtitle display from being covered with the decorative pattern and to be misunderstood as a message in the effect of displaying the pattern. Therefore, the production in the hit epilogue part can be shown favorably.

[Epilogue 17]
The moving image that was flowing during the epilogue is a still image at the timing when the symbol drawing is completed and the player finally recognizes the aligned symbols.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, at the timing when the effect of displaying the symbol is completed and the player can recognize the decorative symbol, the image of the decorative symbol and the character displayed as the background is displayed. It is a still image. According to this, it is possible to prevent the decorative pattern from becoming difficult to see because the background of the decorative pattern is a moving image.

[Epilogue 18]
The moving image that is playing before the start of patterning is regarded as a still image.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 135 (s7) described above, the image flowing in the hit epilogue part becomes a still image at the timing before the effect of displaying the pattern is executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the symbol from becoming difficult to see from the timing of the start of the symbol output.

[Epilogue 19]
Special effects are added at the same time as resting.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 135 (s7) described above, the still image displayed in the hit epilogue part has a special aspect of a graphic novel style. According to this, by adding an effect of a special aspect to the still image, it is possible to make a suitable hit epilogue part by emphasizing that the image is still and suggesting that the scene has been switched.

The second re-lottery effect is an effect in which the replacement display is performed using all the other symbols between the start of the replacement display in the first half part and the display of the first symbol in the second half part.
The light emission control means is
In the epilogue part, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table for the rainbow light emitting mode.
In the re-lottery part, the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect, and the first re-lottery effect is supported. The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect.
At a specific timing in the latter half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect is switched to the luminance data table for the rainbow emission mode, and the rainbow emission mode is used. The light emitting means is controlled by using the brightness data table for the purpose, and the light emitting means is controlled by continuously using the brightness data table for the rainbow light emitting mode even during the subsequent symbol determination period.
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare effect, the brightness data table for rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect, and the light emission means is controlled by using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect. ..

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 176, in the re-lottery effect, the "2" symbol that was temporarily stopped and displayed before the re-lottery is enlarged, reduced, and shaken, and then the "2" symbol is displayed as it is. The re-lottery effect is started using. At the start of the re-extraction effect, the "2" symbol is reduced, and the change of the re-lottery effect is started from the reduced "2" symbol. During the re-lottery effect, a symbol feed effect is executed in which the symbols are replaced by high-speed fluctuations from the "2" symbol. Then, during the re-lottery production, all the decorative symbols such as "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" are sent in order, and then "2" is sent again. The symbol feed effect in which the symbol is displayed is executed. In this way, the re-lottery effect is started using the decorative symbol that was once temporarily stopped, and the decorative symbol that was initially temporarily stopped is displayed again after the variation of the plurality of types of decorative symbols. According to this, the flow of a series of effects can be clearly shown by the symbol feed effect in which the final display result is not displayed immediately and all the decorative patterns are shown. Also, in the state where the hit symbol is temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the re-lottery effect is executed with the lights off, and when the symbol is shaking and displayed, it is re-displayed. Based on the luminance data corresponding to the lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild table W25), the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color. As a result, the player does not misunderstand that the hit symbol temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part is determined depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Further, the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbols of "3" and "2" are shaken and displayed is inherited even during the period when the symbols are fixed. In this way, during the symbol determination period that is performed in a short period of time, the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare repertoire is performed as it is without preparing a special luminance data table for lamp control. Therefore, the data. No extra capacity is added.

[Re-lottery production 8]
The symbol feed according to the predetermined pattern is sent in order from the symbol that was temporarily stopped to the next symbol, and after the last symbol is sent, it returns to the symbol that was temporarily stopped again, and then in order to the next symbol. It is a production that is sent to
The predetermined pattern is a pattern that loops in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Specifically, in the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, all decorative symbols such as "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" are sent in order. , Again, "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "1" and all the decorative symbols are sent in order. In this way, since the numbers of the decorative patterns are sent in order, it is possible to show the flow of a series of productions well.

[Re-lottery production 9]
While the symbol is being fed in a predetermined pattern, all of the decorative symbols to be sent are displayed at the same resolution as when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped.

Specifically, in the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, all the symbols are displayed by the transparency of the symbol when temporarily stopped, and the transparency is increased during the fluctuation. Specifically, a "2" symbol with 0% transmittance, a "2" symbol with 50% transmittance, a "3" symbol with 0% transmittance, a "3" symbol with 50% transmittance, and transparency. The symbols are switched, such as a "4" symbol with a degree of 0% and a "4" symbol with a transmittance of 50%. According to this, all the symbols can be displayed exactly in a mode with low transparency during the symbol feed effect, so that it is possible to grasp what kind of symbol is being sent.

[Re-lottery production 10]
After the symbol feed is started, each of the display times of the plurality of types of decorative symbols is the same until the notification of promotion is performed.

Specifically, in the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, all the decorative symbols such as "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" are sent in order. However, the time when each symbol is displayed is the same. According to this, all the symbols can be displayed for a certain period of time, and the flow of a series of productions can be clearly shown.

[Re-lottery production 11]
The operation promotion display is performed during the symbol feed,
The position where the operation promotion display is performed is a position that does not overlap with the symbol being fed.

Specifically, the promotion display formed from the button image and the time gauge is displayed during the symbol feed effect. The position where the promotion display is displayed does not overlap with the position where the variation of the decorative symbol during the symbol feed effect is displayed. By doing so, since the promotion display does not overlap with the decorative symbol during the symbol feed effect, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the symbol feed. It should be noted that a part of the promotion display may partially overlap with the decorative pattern during the pattern feed effect.

[Re-lottery production 12]
The operation promotion display is started during the symbol feed, and is started during the second loop of the predetermined pattern.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 176 and 177, the promotion display is displayed in (A24) and (A25) after repeating the fluctuation of displaying all the decorative symbols during the symbol feed effect twice. It will be started. Since the promotion image is not displayed until the predetermined symbol feed pattern is repeated twice, the player can be made to firmly recognize the symbol feed effect.

[Re-lottery production 13]
When the symbol feed is started from the symbol of "1", the timing at which the operation promotion display is performed is, for example, the symbol of "5".
When the symbol feed is started from the symbol of "4", the timing at which the operation promotion display is performed is, for example, the symbol of "8".

Specifically, the symbol at the start of the re-lottery effect may be other than the two symbols. Even in such a case, the timing at which the button image as the operation promotion display is displayed is constant. For example, in the case of two symbols, the timing at which the operation promotion display is displayed is the timing at which the two symbols are displayed again. Similarly, in the case of the five symbols, the timing at which the operation promotion display is displayed may be the timing at which the five symbols are displayed again. That is, the number of symbols sent is the same regardless of which symbol starts the re-lottery effect. According to this, since the control can be made constant, the processing load can be reduced.

[Re-lottery production 14]
The effect executing means can execute a notification effect to notify whether or not it is controlled in an advantageous state.
The advantageous state includes a first advantageous state and a second advantageous state that is more advantageous than the first advantageous state.
The notification effect is an introduction part until the right / wrong is notified whether or not it is controlled in an advantageous state, a right / wrong notification part in which the right / wrong is notified, and the fact that the notification effect is controlled to the advantageous state after the right / wrong notification. Consists of an epilogue part that is executed when is determined, and a re-lottery part that is executed after the epilogue part.
The re-lottery part includes the first half part and the second half part,
The means of performing the production is

When it is determined that the control is to be controlled to the first advantageous state, the replacement display is performed in the first half part of the plurality of types of re-lottery effects, and the first symbol is displayed again in the second half part. Is feasible and
When it is determined that the control is controlled to the second advantageous state, the second symbol is displayed repeatedly in the first half part, then the second symbol is repeatedly displayed, and the second symbol is displayed again in the second half part. It is possible to execute the third re-lottery production
The first re-lottery effect, the second re-lottery effect, and the third re-lottery effect have the same production scale.
The light emission control means is
In the epilogue part, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table for the rainbow light emitting mode.
In the re-lottery part, the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect, and the first re-lottery effect is supported. The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect.
At a specific timing in the latter half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect is switched to the luminance data table for the rainbow emission mode, and the rainbow emission mode is used. The light emitting means is controlled by using the brightness data table for controlling the light emitting means, and the light emitting means is controlled by continuously using the brightness data table for making the rainbow light emitting mode even during the subsequent symbol determination period.
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare effect, the brightness data table for rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect, and the light emission means is controlled by using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect. ..

Specifically, a pattern that displays an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols) and then an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols), and a pattern that displays an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols) and then an odd numbered symbol (for example, 3 symbols). Was provided. In addition to this, a pattern for displaying an odd numbered symbol (for example, 7 symbols) after displaying an odd numbered symbol (for example, 7 symbols) may be provided. In the effect of sending a symbol from an odd-numbered symbol to an odd-numbered symbol, the same odd-numbered symbol may be sent at the time of symbol feeding. However, regardless of the pattern, the scale of the effect of the symbol feed period in the re-lottery effect may be the same design. According to this, it is possible to obtain a suitable re-lottery effect for any pattern without increasing the data capacity. Also, in the state where the hit symbol is temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the re-lottery effect is executed with the lights off, and when the symbol is shaking and displayed, it is re-displayed. Based on the luminance data corresponding to the lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild table W25), the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color. As a result, the player does not misunderstand that the hit symbol temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part is determined depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Further, the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbols of "3" and "2" are shaken and displayed is inherited even during the period when the symbols are fixed. In this way, during the symbol determination period that is performed in a short period of time, the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare repertoire is performed as it is without preparing a special luminance data table for lamp control. Therefore, the data. No extra capacity is added.

[Re-lottery production 15]
The re-lottery effect is displayed by combining display data other than the decorative pattern and display data of various decorative patterns, and each pattern of multiple types of re-lottery effect is reproduced.
By using common display data in each re-lottery effect, the effect scale is common between each re-lottery effect, and only the type of symbol being sent and the symbol displayed in the symbol output are each re-lottery effect. It is different in the lottery production.

Specifically, in the lottery effect, a pattern that displays an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols) and then an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols), and an odd numbered symbol (for example, 3 symbols) after displaying an even numbered symbol (for example, 2 symbols). Common data is used regardless of whether the pattern displays an odd number symbol (for example, 7 symbols) and then displays an odd number symbol (for example, 7 symbols). In other words, the production data is the same, and the design is such that the data related to the decorative pattern is changed according to the pattern. According to this, since it is not necessary to provide a dedicated pattern, the amount of data can be reduced.

Specifically, the above-mentioned symbolizing in FIGS. 141 (A1) to 142 (A5) and the symbolizing in FIGS. 161 (C1) to 162 (C5) are executed using substantially the same image. Will be done. Specifically, the same image is used for the pattern output by the “2” symbol and the effect image, and the pattern output is executed in such a manner that the background portion is different. According to this, since the images of the symbols can be made substantially the same, it is possible to clearly show to the player that the symbols have not been promoted to the probabilistic symbols. In addition, the image of the pattern appearance portion including the background may be exactly the same. Also, in the state where the hit symbol is temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the re-lottery effect is executed with the lights off, and when the symbol is shaking and displayed, it is re-displayed. Based on the luminance data corresponding to the lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild table W25), the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color. As a result, the player does not misunderstand that the hit symbol temporarily stopped in the hit epilogue part is determined depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Further, the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbols of "3" and "2" are shaken and displayed is inherited even during the period when the symbols are fixed. In this way, during the symbol determination period that is performed in a short period of time, the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare repertoire is performed as it is without preparing a special luminance data table for lamp control. Therefore, the data. No extra capacity is added.

Specifically, in the above-mentioned patterning effect, common symbolizing data may be used for the patterning effect data in the hit epilogue part and the patterning effect data in the re-lottery effect. Then, a series of patterning effects may be executed by using the common patterning data and the combination of a plurality of decorative patterns. According to this, it is possible to reduce the data capacity while making the effect of patterning appear suitable. It should be noted that substantially the same data may be used for the data of the designing effect in the hit epilogue part and the data of the designing effect in the re-lottery effect.

[Re-lottery production 19]
If you are not promoted in the re-lottery production
The light emitting mode in the symbol output is the same when the decorative symbol alignment is temporarily stopped before the re-lottery is executed and when the notification that the decorative symbol alignment is not promoted is performed by the re-lottery.

Specifically, in the child table WD21 of the re-lottery part, as a lamp control when the symbol is finally decided after the re-lottery, it is common to the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, WD16 of the hit epilogue part. The grandchild table W1 is used. This eliminates the need to prepare separate grandchild tables for rainbow-colored lighting for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, reducing the data capacity used for lamp control and providing a sense of unity even for different parts (timing). It is possible to show the player a certain production. As a result, it is possible to show the player better the performance in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part while reducing the data capacity.

[Re-lottery production 20]
In the case of promotion in the re-lottery production
When the decorative symbol alignment is temporarily stopped before the re-lottery is executed, and when the notification that the decorative symbol alignment is promoted is performed by the re-lottery, the light emission mode in the symbol output is different.
When the notification that the decorative symbol alignment is promoted is performed by the re-lottery, the light emission mode in the symbol output is more intense than when the decorative symbol alignment is temporarily stopped before the re-lottery is executed.

Specifically, in the child table WD20 of the re-lottery part, the same rainbow color as the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, WD16 of the hit epilogue part is used as a lamp control when the symbol is finally decided after the re-lottery. The frame lamp lights up at, but when the symbol is promoted from the symbol of "2" and replaced with the symbol of "3" by the re-lottery, the rainbow color lighting at tB5 to tB9 is once "2" in the hit epilogue part. The lighting mode is more intense than the smooth rainbow-colored lighting when the symbol is temporarily stopped. As a result, the player can effectively congratulate the player that the winning symbol has been promoted by the re-lottery depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 267 (L1) to (L3), the operation promotion display by the button image and the time gauge is displayed during the symbol feeding of the re-lottery effect. During the period in which the operation promotion display is displayed, the player operates the push button 31B to execute the common pattern display effect shown in (L4) to (L6). Regardless of which timing the push button 31B is operated, the effect of displaying a common symbol by enlarging and reducing the symbol as shown in (L4) to (L5) is executed. After that, the symbol shake is executed during the symbol shake period. The shaking period of the pattern differs depending on the operation timing of the button. Therefore, after the shaking period of the symbol, for example, in the first operation timing, the symbol faces the right side, in the second operation timing, the symbol faces the left side, and in the third operation timing, the symbol faces the left side. , The design may be in a position facing the front. However, regardless of the operation timing, a whiteout effect is sandwiched as a common effect from (J1) to (J18) thereafter, and an effect in which the symbol is shaken after the symbol is rotated and the symbol is reduced is executed. According to this, the design can be stopped neatly by performing a common effect regardless of the timing at which the push button 31B is operated, and a series of effects can be appropriately shown.

[Re-lottery production 22]
When the operation is performed at the first timing of the valid period of the operation, after the notification of promotion or not is performed, the decorative pattern is displayed swayingly until the predetermined timing of the fluctuation arrives.
When the operation is performed at the second timing earlier than the first timing of the valid period of the operation, the operation is performed at the second timing earlier than the first timing until the predetermined timing of the fluctuation is reached after the notification of promotion or not is performed. The decorative pattern is displayed swaying as soon as it is, and the scale is absorbed.

Specifically, when the push button 31B is operated at the first timing during the operation valid period, the decorative symbol is displayed to be shaken after the notification of whether or not to promote is executed (FIG. 267 (L3)). Example without operation). When the push button 31B was operated at the second timing earlier than the first timing during the operation valid period, the display that the decorative symbol shook was earlier than the first timing after the notification of whether to promote was executed. The display is extended by the minute (the operation in FIG. 267 (L2) is an example of the second timing). When the push button 31B was operated at the third timing earlier than the second timing during the operation valid period, the display that the decorative symbol shook was earlier than the second timing after the notification of whether to promote was executed. The display is extended by the minute (the operation in FIG. 267 (L1) is an example of the first timing). In this way, regardless of the timing at which the push button 31B is operated, the scale of the effect can be absorbed by the shaking time of the design. By performing a common effect after that, the design can be stopped neatly, and a series of effects can be shown favorably.

[Re-lottery production 23]
The predetermined effect starts after the flickering decorative pattern is rotated while being magnified while blinking white.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 267, after performing whiteout as a common effect, an effect different from the conventional pattern mode in which the swaying decorative pattern is enlarged and rotated once is executed. According to this, regardless of the position of the symbol in the shaking of the shaku absorption symbol, by executing the effect of a different mode after sandwiching the whiteout, the flow of the effect until the symbol is stopped. It is possible to prevent discomfort.

[Re-lottery production 24]
The swaying display of the decorative pattern is displayed with the decorative pattern swaying around the first position.

It is positioned, and when the fixed period is reached, the predetermined effect is designed so that the decorative pattern is always displayed in the order of the second position, the first position, and so on.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 267, during the shaking period of the symbol, the symbol swings to the back side from (J10) to (J12), and then the symbol swings to the front side from (J13) to (J14). Changes to the initial position. After that, the symbol swings toward the front side from (J15) to (J16), and then the symbol swings toward the back side from (J17) to (J18) to change to the initial position. Such a series of movements may be repeated a plurality of times. However, during the period when the symbol is fixed, it is designed so that the symbol is always located at the initial position facing the front as shown in (J18). According to this, the symbol can be fixedly stopped in a manner that does not give a sense of discomfort to the player.

[Re-lottery production 25]
The starting point when the light emitting mode of the light emitting means is made to emit light by the rainbow in the second part is to make the light emitted by the rainbow at the start of the predetermined effect.

Specifically, the game effect lamp 9 is designed to light up in a rainbow color at the timing of the whiteout shown in FIG. 267 (J1). The timing of (J1) is an effect executed as a common effect regardless of the operation timing. By setting the place where such a common effect is executed as the starting point of changing the game effect lamp 9, it is easy for the designer to decide the start opportunity. It should be noted that the timing of (J2) at which the common start display is started may be used as the start trigger instead of the timing of (J1), and the start trigger may be any timing of the commonly executed effects.

There is a time when the epilogue part shifts to the re-lottery part at the timing, and a time when the first symbol shifts from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing displayed in the third aspect.
The effect executing means is a re-lottery from the epilogue part at the timing when the first symbol is displayed in the first aspect and when the first symbol is displayed in the second aspect. In both the transition to the part and the transition from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing when the first symbol is displayed in the third aspect, a specific display is performed to make the first symbol difficult to see. The first symbol is displayed in a common display mode, and the first re-lottery effect or the second re-lottery effect is executed.
The light emission control means is
In the epilogue part, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table for the rainbow light emitting mode.
In the re-lottery part, the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect, and the first re-lottery effect is supported. The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect.
At a specific timing in the latter half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect is switched to the luminance data table for the rainbow emission mode, and the rainbow emission mode is used. The light emitting means is controlled by using the brightness data table for controlling the light emitting means, and the light emitting means is controlled by continuously using the brightness data table for making the rainbow light emitting mode even during the subsequent symbol determination period.
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare effect, the brightness data table for rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect, and the light emission means is controlled by using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect. ..

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 266, when the image showing the stick controller 31A and the time gauge are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, regardless of the timing of the operation, after that, A time for shaking the symbol for absorbing the scale may be provided in the time until the predetermined timing when the re-lottery effect is executed (the period of shaking of the symbol from (K4)). Then, when the re-lottery effect is executed at a predetermined timing, a common effect accompanied by a whiteout as shown in (K8) to (K17) may be executed. According to this, regardless of the timing at which the stick controller 31A is operated, the symbol is once shaken and displayed, and then the common effect accompanied by whiteout is executed, and then the re-lottery effect is executed. Therefore, at the start of the re-lottery. It is possible to prevent the movement of the pattern from causing a sense of discomfort, and it is possible to make a series of effects more suitable.

[Re-lottery production 27]
The re-lottery effect is the same regardless of which of the multiple types of introduction parts is used.

Specifically, from the time when the whiteout screen is displayed until the re-lottery effect is executed, any of a plurality of reach may be common. According to this, the data capacity of the production data can be reduced.

[Re-lottery production 28]
The movement of the decorative design after the specific display is an extension of the movement in which the decorative design was once swayed and displayed before the specific display.

Specifically, the movement of the symbol after the whiteout screen may be an extension of the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen. For example, if the movement of the design in front of the whiteout screen is a movement that sways between the front side and the back side by the axis rotation around the vertical direction of the design, the movement after the whiteout screen is It may be a movement that makes one full clockwise rotation by rotating the axis around the vertical direction of the symbol while enlarging. According to this, by displaying a whiteout between the movements on the extension of the same axis rotation, it is possible to prevent the pattern from causing a sense of discomfort, and a series of effects can be preferably shown. be able to.

[Re-lottery production 29]
Multiple types of introduction parts are branches of notification of whether or not they are controlled in an advantageous state, and include predetermined introduction parts that are not notified triggered by the operation of the operating means.
Since there is no point where the scale shifts in the predetermined introduction part, if it is decided that the predetermined introduction part will be controlled in an advantageous state, the decorative pattern will be temporarily stopped until the re-lottery effect is executed. There is no blurring in the shaking display, but the same re-lottery effect as the reach where the scale shift occurs is executed.

Specifically, among the plurality of SP reach, there is one in which the promotion of operation such as a button operation is not notified at the branch at the time of determining whether or not the control is in an advantageous state. In such SP reach, the scale shift due to the operation does not occur. However, even with such an SP reach, the same re-lottery effect as the SP reach in which the scale shift occurs may be executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent a sense of incongruity even when there is only one re-lottery effect due to the common effect regardless of the presence or absence of the scale deviation. In addition, the data capacity can be reduced by using one re-lottery effect.

[Re-lottery production 30]
In the flow of going to the re-lottery production after the shaking display of the decorative pattern at the big hit in the predetermined introduction part
The timing for shifting to the re-lottery effect is designed so that the movement is an extension of the decorative pattern after the specific display.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 266, the timing is set so that the movement of the symbol after the whiteout screen is an extension of the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen. For example, the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen is one of a series of movements in which the symbol moves from the right position (K3) to the left position (K6) via the front position (K5). It is designed to be. That is, when the shaking of the symbol is one of a series of clockwise movements, the whiteout by the re-lottery effect is executed, and then the movement of enlarging the symbol and rotating clockwise continues. According to this, it is possible to prevent the movement of the symbol from causing a sense of discomfort due to the series of movements of the clockwise rotating symbol from the period of the symbol shaking to the re-lottery effect.

The "small symbol" includes a symbol corresponding to the variable display of the decorative symbol displayed in a size smaller than the decorative symbol. The small symbols are displayed in the "left" decorative symbol display area 5L, the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C, and the "right" decorative symbol display area 5R. The symbols corresponding to each of the decorative symbols are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

In the "design confirmation", the fluctuations of the fourth symbol unit 50, the special figure 1 variable display unit 53, the special figure 2 variable display unit 54, the decorative symbol, etc. are stopped, and finally the special symbol game is performed. Includes the determination of the design in. For example, the state in which the fluctuation of the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the left decorative symbol display area 5L, the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the middle decorative symbol display area 5C, and the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the right decorative symbol display area 5R has stopped. include.

In the "symbol confirmation period", the display result is determined by stopping the fluctuation of the fourth symbol unit 50, the special figure 1 variable display unit 53, the special figure 2 variable display unit 54, the decorative symbol, and the like. Includes period. For example, the variation of the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the left decorative symbol display area 5L, the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the middle decorative symbol display area 5C, and the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the right decorative symbol display area 5R stops and is displayed. Includes a deterministic display of the results.

"Reach" continues to be variablely displayed for decorative symbols that have not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbols that have been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 form part of the jackpot combination. For example, the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5L on the left, and the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5R on the right, but the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5C inside. Then, the variable display of the decorative pattern is still continued.

The “turning off” of the lighting means (light emitting means) includes a state in which the value of the luminance data for lighting (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) becomes “0” (value indicating the lowest brightness). In addition, "turning off" of the lighting means (light emitting means) means brightness data corresponding to turning off such that the value of the brightness data for turning on (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is "1" or "2". It may include a state in which the value is close to "0". The state in which the value of the luminance data for turning on (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is close to the luminance data "0" corresponding to extinguishing, such as "1" or "2", is ". It may be included in "lighting" or "substantially extinguished".

The "lighting" or "light emission" of the lighting means (light emitting means) is a state in which the value of the luminance data for lighting (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is higher than that when the lamp is turned off, and the luminance data It includes a state in which the value is equal to or higher than the value of the luminance data (“0”) corresponding to the above-mentioned “off”. "Lighting" includes constant lighting in which the lamps are always lit, wave lighting in which a plurality of lamps are sequentially switched from off to on, and moya lighting in which the lamps are dimly lit while changing the brightness.

"Blinking" of the lighting means (light emitting means) means that the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is in a state other than "turning off", "substantially turning off", or "lighting", and the lamp is "turning on" or "turning off". Includes repeating over time. Further, "blinking" of the lighting means (light emitting means) includes repeating "lighting" and "substantially extinguishing" of the lamp with the passage of time.

The "luminance" is a value indicating the brightness of the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means), and in the present embodiment, the brightness data is represented by a hexadecimal number as the data corresponding to the brightness. For example, when the luminance data used to control a predetermined lamp is "0", the lamp control is performed so that the predetermined lamp has the lowest brightness (the lamp is dark), and the predetermined lamp is controlled. When the luminance data used for this purpose is "F", the lamp control is performed so that the predetermined lamp has the highest luminance (the lamp is bright). As described above, the luminance data corresponds to the value of the current flowing through the lamp, and when the luminance data used to control the predetermined lamp is "0", the current flowing through the predetermined lamp is the smallest. When the luminance data used to control the predetermined lamp is "F", the current flowing through the predetermined lamp is the largest. The "lamp" is not limited to an LED (light emitting diode) lamp, but includes any kind of lamp such as an EL (electroluminescence) lamp and an incandescent lamp.

The "lighting color" or "emission color" of a lamp includes a color represented by the emission of one or more light emitting elements contained in the lamp. For example, if the lamp is composed of LEDs consisting of three light emitting elements such as "R" (red), "G" (green), and "B" (blue), the 3 is adjusted by the LED driver based on the luminance data. The three light emitting elements emit light by the current applied to the three light emitting elements, so that the LEDs are lit in various colors. The "lighting color" of the lamp differs depending on the color of the light emitting element. For example, in the case of an LED consisting of only "W" (white) as a light emitting element, the brightness differs depending on the flowing current, but the lamp lights in white, and " In the case of an LED consisting of a light emitting element only for "R" (red), the lamp lights in red although the brightness varies depending on the flowing current.

The "rainbow color" (seven colors) among the lighting colors of the lamp includes a color composed of seven kinds of colors. For example, "rainbow color" includes red, orange (orange), yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The "rainbow color" is not limited to the colors described above, and may be composed of seven other colors. Even if the same "rainbow color" is used, the lighting mode may differ between the smooth lighting based on the brightness data table (grandchild table) shown in FIG. 225 and the blinking based on the brightness data table (grandchildren table) shown in FIG. 256. In addition, the lighting mode depending on the rainbow color may differ depending on the set luminance data.

The "color corresponding to the character" includes a color predetermined for each character appearing in the production of the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the color corresponding to Yumemu-chan's character is green, the color corresponding to Jam-chan is purple, and the color corresponding to Bakuchu is red.

The “emission color corresponding to the character” is a lighting color (emission color) of the game effect lamp 9, and includes a color predetermined for each character appearing in the production of the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the "emission color corresponding to the character" is the lighting color (emission color) of the game effect lamp 9 in green corresponding to Yumemu-chan's character, and the lighting color of the game effect lamp 9 in purple corresponding to Jam-chan. (Emission color), lighting color (emission color) of the game effect lamp 9 in red corresponding to the explosion chew, and the like are included.

The “serif sound” includes a sound corresponding to the word output at the timing when the character appearing in the pachinko gaming machine 1 utters the word.

The "serif subtitle" includes characters corresponding to the serif sound displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 when the serif sound is output. Dialogue subtitles are also called subtitle display.

The "physical sound" includes a physical sound generated by the movement of an object such as a character or an object appearing in the production. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a physical sound (physical sound) that will be generated by the movement of the object is output according to the image of an object such as a character or an object that appears by the production.

The "onomatopoeia" includes a pseudo sound that expresses the movement of an object such as a character or an object that appears in the production. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a pseudo sound (onomatopoeia) expressing the movement of the object is output according to the image of the object such as a character or an object appearing by the production.

The "character action" includes an effect in which the character appearing in the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 performs some action. For example, it includes the action of Yumemu-chan's character chasing the character of Baku Chu.

In the "re-lottery effect", the normal jackpot symbol that does not become a probabilistic jackpot in the variable display of the decorative symbol (for example, an even numbered symbol such as the symbol "2") is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then the normal jackpot symbol is a probabilistic jackpot. Includes an effect that is performed before the symbol is finalized to encourage whether or not it is promoted to a symbol (for example, an odd symbol such as the symbol of "3").

The "replacement display" is an effect included in the "re-lottery effect", and includes an image display in which the decorative symbols that have been temporarily stopped are sequentially replaced with other symbols, so that the decorative symbols are switched one after another. In the present embodiment, the "replacement display" displays a display in which the symbol "2" or "3" is finally stopped while the symbol "2" fluctuates at high speed and is sequentially replaced with another symbol. include.

"Repeat display" means repeating the same display, and refers to repeating the display using the same animation. It is an effect included in the "re-lottery effect", and includes a display in which a temporarily stopped decorative pattern is displayed many times with the same animation. As an example, the "repeated display" includes a display in which the symbol "7" is sequentially replaced with another symbol while fluctuating at high speed, and finally the symbol "7" is stopped.

"Shaking display" is to display the decorative pattern while shaking it, and indicates that the fluctuation has not been completed and is being changed.

The "stop display" is to display the decorative symbol stationary without moving it, and indicates that the fluctuation has ended.

The "swaying speed" is the speed at which the decorative symbol operates from the first position to the second position when the decorative symbol is displaying shaking.

The "first aspect of the symbol", the "second aspect of the symbol", and the "third aspect of the symbol" are aspects indicating the position of the decorative symbol. For example, in the case where the decorative pattern is swayed up and down, when the first aspect is the central position, the second aspect is the upper position and the third aspect is the lower position. Further, in the case where the decorative pattern is swayed and displayed in the front-back direction, when the first aspect is the front position, the second aspect is the position facing left and the third aspect is the position facing right.

The "fanfare effect" is an effect executed at the start of the big hit game state to notify that the big hit game state has been reached.

The "advancement" of a movable body (feature) is an action in which the movable body (feature) moves from the initial position. The position at the end of the movable area where the accessory moves is the advance position.

"" Evacuation "of a movable body (role)" is an operation in which a movable body (role) moves from an advance position to an initial position. The initial position in the movable area where the accessory moves is the evacuation position.

The "effect display for moving the movable body" is a display for enhancing the visual effect around the accessory on the screen as the accessory moves to the advanced position as the movable body. For example, an effect image is displayed to make the character movement stand out according to the character movement when the reach develops in the latter half or when the big hit is notified.

"Story development" refers to the progress of a story or a series of productions. That is, the story of a series of flows is not interrupted due to a change of scenes, and the story is continuously displayed to the player.

"Part, scene" refers to the group that constitutes the production, and the part is a larger group than the scene. The parts are divided by role.

"Scene switching"
Switching scenes mainly means switching the display, and in particular, switching the displayed background, characters, and the like.

"Cut-in display" is an effect in which another image is interrupted and displayed in the displayed image. In addition, the cut-in display can indicate the degree of expectation of a big hit with the color of the cut-in display. For example, when the cut-in display is red, the jackpot expectation is higher than when it is green.

"Switching display (eye catch display)" is an effect displayed when changing scenes. In the present embodiment, the eye-catching display is used when the scene is changed from the state showing the loss to the state of the normal game. The eye-catching display has the role of making it easy to understand that the super reach has ended.

In the "shield display (shutter display)", the image display device 5 displays an image such as a shutter so as to cover the entire area displayed by the image display device 5, and the image displayed before the shield display is displayed. Is a display that shields. The obstruction display may obscure the image by displaying something other than the shutter.

"Switching the luminance data" means that the timer of the luminance data defined in the grandchild table becomes 0 and the next luminance data is used. By switching the luminance data, the light emitting mode of the lamp is switched. By switching the light emission mode of the lamp, the player is given the impression that the story development of the currently displayed scene is updated.

"The luminance data does not switch" means that the timer of the luminance data defined in the grandchild table does not become 0, and the luminance data continues to be used. Since the luminance data is not switched, the light emission mode of the lamp becomes constant. By making the light emitting mode of the lamp constant, the player is given the impression that the story development of the currently displayed scene is not updated and is stopped.

"Video data" is data for displaying a video including animation. The images displayed on the image display device 5 are switched at high speed for several tens of images per second to make them appear to be moving. The moving image data may be compressed and retained.

The "first moving image data" is moving image data created by using many images in order to operate a character among the moving image data.

The "second moving image data" is moving image data created by using a small number of images in order to operate the character among the moving image data.

The "movement of a specific character" is a movement corresponding to a specific character among a plurality of characters appearing in the production.

The "blackout" is an effect of displaying a black image in the display area to darken (blackout) the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. The blackout may be in a mode in which the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot differs depending on the duration of the darkened state.

The “whiteout” is an effect of displaying (whitening out) a white image in the display area in order to make the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 invisible. The whiteout may be in such a manner that the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot differs depending on the duration of the state in which the white image is displayed.

The "specific display that makes it difficult to see" means that an image for making the displayed decorative pattern invisible to the player is displayed on the screen. For example, by displaying a white image on the entire surface (whitening out), the decorative pattern becomes invisible to the player.

"Fade effect" refers to fade-in and fade-out used in video technology. Fade-in means that the state in which the background image or the like is displayed gradually changes to the state in which a predetermined image is visible. In the present embodiment, for example, an image showing dialogue is gradually displayed from the state where the room background is displayed. Gradually displaying means gradually reducing the transparency of the image showing the dialogue. For example, after displaying the dialogue image with 100% transmittance, the transparency is reduced by 10% every 0.1 seconds to display the dialogue image after 1 second. Further, the fade-out means that, contrary to the fade-in, the state in which the predetermined image is visible overlapping the background image gradually shifts to only the background image. In the present embodiment, for example, the image showing the dialogue is gradually hidden from the state where the image showing the dialogue is displayed on the background of the room. Gradually hiding means gradually increasing the transparency of the image showing the dialogue. For example, after displaying the dialogue image with a transmittance of 0%, the transparency is increased by 10% every 0.1 seconds, so that the dialogue image is hidden after 1 second. Further, the fade effect includes a crossfade in which the fade-in and the fade-out are performed at the same time and the images are exchanged.

<Example of time saving control without hitting>
Next, an example of executing a time saving control that does not go through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.) as a time saving state will be described.
(Example of time saving control using time saving symbol)

(A1) In each of the above-mentioned feature parts and modified examples, the transition to the time saving state (high base state) always shifts via the big hit state or the small hit state in which the special variable winning ball device 7A operates. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when a time-saving symbol is derived and displayed as a special symbol, the time-saving state (high base) without operating the special variable winning ball device 7A. It may be made to shift to the state). That is, as the time saving state, the time saving control may be executed without going through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.).

(A2) As the above-mentioned time-saving symbols, these time-saving symbols may be a part of a lost symbol or a part of a small hit symbol.

(A3) Further, when the lottery process relating to the derivation display of the time-saving symbol is performed, the lottery may be executed by using a dedicated random number for the time-saving symbol lottery in these lottery processes, or the lottery random number of the lost symbol. Or a random number for performing other lottery such as a lottery random number of a big hit symbol, a lottery random number of a small hit symbol, a random number for determining a big hit lottery, and a lottery random number of a fall lottery, the lottery may be performed.

(A4) Further, these time-saving symbols may be a plurality of types of symbols, and may be used in combination with other symbols such as a small hit symbol or a combination of symbols displayed as a lost symbol. In this case, it may be determined whether or not the time saving state is changed depending on the small hit symbol used together. However, if the time saving symbol is won, the presence or absence of the transition to the time saving state will not be drawn by lottery, and the number of time saving will not be drawn.

(A5) Further, in the case of drawing a time-saving symbol and the set value can be changed, the lottery probability of the time-saving symbol does not change according to the set value, that is, the time-saving symbol is used for all the set values. Although the lottery probabilities are the same, the lottery probabilities of these time-saving symbols may be different between the first special figure and the second special figure.

(A6) Regarding the timing of random number acquisition when drawing a lottery for time-saving symbols, regardless of whether a dedicated random number is used or another random number is used, the start port (first start). It may be at the time of winning a prize at the winning opening, the second starting winning opening).

(A7) Regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol is drawn, when using a dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number), the lottery result by the dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number) is used as the winning value, and the time-saving symbol is drawn. When a small hit symbol random number is used, a specific small hit symbol random number value can be used as the winning value, and when a fall lottery judgment value random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, the fall lottery judgment value random number can be used as the winning value. , A lottery using a structure, for example, a time saving area may be provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7A, and the time saving symbol may be won when the game ball passes through the time saving area.

(A8) In the case where the lottery of the time-saving symbol is performed using the structure, when the small hit symbol is used in combination with the time-saving symbol, the variable display number (time-saving number) of the time-saving state is determined by the presence or absence of passing through the time-saving region. Make sure it doesn't change.

(A9) Regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol lottery is performed, when the lost symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, the specific lost symbol random number value is used as the winning value, and the big hit symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery. In that case, a specific jackpot symbol random number value can be used as the winning value. However, when these random values are used as winning values, the performances other than the jackpot probability differ depending on the setting, so it is possible only if the set value cannot be changed.

(A10) Further, the determination timing of the lottery result of the time-saving symbol may be executed at the timing after the big hit determination. In addition, the lottery of the time saving symbol is not executed in the time saving state (high base) or the high probability time regardless of the random number value used for the lottery, and is executed only in the low probability low base state. .. However, if the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed in the state where the time-saving is already in the state, even if the number of times of time-saving is reset or the lottery is not performed, it may be determined for each gaming machine.

(A11) Further, regarding the number of time reductions when the time reduction symbol is derived and displayed, it is possible to have a plurality of predetermined number of time reductions according to the winning value (symbol) and the game state. In addition, it is possible to make the conditions for granting the time reduction different for each time saving symbol.

(A12) Further, when the number of time reductions differs depending on the time reduction symbol, the time reduction symbol distribution lottery can be changed between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2.

(A13) Further, even when the same time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time-savings given may be different depending on the gaming state at that time. However, it is required to be predetermined for the gaming state.

(A14) Further, the lottery result of "0 times of time saving" can be included as the lottery result of the time saving symbol in the low probability low base state.

(A15) Further, the number of times the time reduction end symbol is derived and displayed (time reduction end lottery) is executed, and the number of time reductions is set to the number of times until the time reduction end symbol is derived and displayed after the time reduction start, or until the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed. good. That is, in principle, the number of working hours may not be set and may be unlimited.

(A16) Further, the number of time reductions and the granting condition may be different between the time reduction state controlled by the time reduction symbol and the time reduction state controlled by the occurrence of a big hit.

(A17) Further, when the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the timing of being controlled to the time-saving state is the time when the symbol determination time of the time-saving symbol has elapsed. However, in the case where a small hit symbol random number is used for the lottery of the time saving symbol, when the small hit is won and the time saving state is entered, the end time of the small hit operation is controlled to the time saving state.

(A18) Further, in the case of a lottery using the structure, the timing controlled to the time saving state is the timing at the end of the operation of the structure in the gaming state (for example, the small hit state) in which the structure is operated.

(A19) Further, in the case of a gaming machine (so-called specified number of probability change machines (ST machines)) controlled to a high probability low base state over a predetermined variable display number after a big hit, a high probability at the time of opening the game hall. It is a low-base state, and the high-probability low-base state may be controlled to a time-saving state after the variable display of a predetermined number of times is executed and ended.

(A20) Further, when the time saving limiter function is installed and the time saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time saving limiters is updated.

(A21) Further, the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol may be set to a time different from the symbol confirmation time of other symbols.

(Other time saving control examples using time saving symbols)
As another time saving control using the time saving symbol, the control described below may be executed.

(B1) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game control for shifting from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) is performed, and the special symbol is performed in the time-saving state. Based on the fact that the variable display result of the time saving symbol is displayed, the game control for further shifting from the time saving state to the same time saving state is not performed (even if the time saving symbol is displayed, the time saving state is overwritten (time saving state). May not be controlled to switch the game state). Then, different effects may be produced when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special symbol in the normal state and when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special symbol in the time-saving state (decorative symbol). In the normal state, a special symbol is displayed as a time-saving symbol, and in the time-saving state, a general lost symbol is displayed.) This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B2) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), when the display result of the special symbol is the time-saving symbol, the special symbol displays the common time-saving symbol in the normal state and the time-saving state, and the decorative symbol is in the normal state. A different symbol may be displayed as a display result in the reduced working hours state (for example, the decorative symbol displays a special symbol corresponding to the reduced working hours symbol in the normal state, but simply displays a lost symbol in the reduced working hours state, etc.). Do not display the symbol corresponding to the symbol). As a result, the display result of the decorative pattern in the time-saving state does not give the player a feeling of loss, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game.

(B3) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), in the normal state, an effect suggesting whether or not the display result of the decorative symbol is a special symbol (time saving symbol) is executed, but in the time saving state, the decorative symbol is executed. It is also possible not to execute the effect suggesting whether or not the display result of is a special symbol (time saving symbol). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that the player has lost the display result of the decorative pattern due to the effect in the time-saving state, and to suppress the deterioration of the game interest.

(B4) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), the fixed display time of the decorative symbol (the time for displaying the fixed surface result and then maintaining the display state) differs between the normal state and the time saving state. You may control it. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game without causing the player to feel that the decorative pattern is produced in a time-saving state.

(B5) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time-saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time-saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is completed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. (Display effect, etc.), right-handed game is played in response to right-handed notification (notification to instruct right-handed) during the time-saving state, and variable display based on the hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends. Until all is done. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B6) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time-saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time-saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is completed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. During the time saving state, a right-handed game is played in response to the right-handed notification, and until all the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends is completed. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B7) Left-handed notification is executed in the variable display (first variable display) executed after the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is completed. You may. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B8) When the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information. The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed according to the hit (small hit, big hit) in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed is It may be different. As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B9) In the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends, a common effect is obtained when there is holding storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed and when there is no holding storage information. It is possible to execute different effects after executing (For example, when there is hold storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the fourth hold storage information out of the four remaining hold storage, the third hold memory A common effect that suggests whether or not to return to the time saving state is executed until the variable display based on the information, and a time saving state return effect different from the common effect is executed in the variable display based on the fourth reserved storage information. It may be possible). As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B10) The effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (second variable display) stored based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information. The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed differs depending on the effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed. You may do so. As a result, the production changes according to the game state, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

(B11) Confirmation display time of display result in variable display (second variable display) based on remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends (the display state is maintained after the confirmed surface result is displayed. The fixed display time of the display result in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information is executed may be common. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in control data.

(B12) During the period when the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is executed, the right-handed notification is not executed and the variable display is based on the remaining hold storage information. When the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period when the next variable display is started. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B13) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game control for shifting from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) is performed, and the variable display result is small. It is possible to execute a common specific effect (reach effect, notice effect) depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result) such as a hit symbol or a big hit symbol or a time-saving symbol (special display result). The ratio of the time-saving symbols (special display result) may be different depending on which of the common specific effects provided is executed. Then, when the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the variable display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period at which the next variable display is started. As a result, it is possible to suitably control the effect according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B14) After executing the common specific effect, the display result may be a hit symbol (specific display result) or a time-saving symbol (special display result). As a result, the variation of the effect result of the variable display is abundant, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B15) The CPU 103 for game control has a common variation pattern depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result), a time-saving symbol (special display result), or a lost symbol (predetermined display result). Is selectable, and even when the effect control CPU 120 receives a command for specifying the same fluctuation pattern from the game control CPU 103, different effects are displayed in the variable display according to the type of the symbol specification command that specifies the display result. May be made feasible. As a result, the variation of the variable display effect is enriched, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B16) After executing the common specific effect, it is possible to execute a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the special effect after the execution of the common specific effect.

(B17) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained may or may not be executed (for example, a plurality of types). Of the super reach productions in the above, when performing the production with the highest expectation, the special production is not executed, etc.). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B19) A predetermined effect different from the common specific effect (for example, an active display whose display mode can be changed depending on the degree of expectation for a hit (a display moved from the display position of the hold display to another display position, and is currently being executed). The degree of expectation (ratio) that becomes the time saving symbol (special display result) is made different according to the effect mode of the effect) that displays the effect that can suggest the expectation of the hit corresponding to the variable display of. May be good. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B20) In the special effect that can be executed when the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, after performing the effect (such as the time-saving suggestion effect) that suggests that the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, the winning symbol (specification) is executed. It may be possible to execute an effect (such as a special jackpot whose game value is higher than that of a time-saving state) to notify the display result). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B21) The CPU 103 for game control can be controlled to a time reduction state (special state) in which the number of time reductions (time reduction continuation period) differs according to the types of time reduction symbols (special display results) provided in a plurality of types (for example, the first). The 1st time reduction symbol: 50 times of time reduction, the 2nd time reduction symbol: 100 times of time reduction, etc.), the effect control CPU 120 is given when the time reduction symbol is stopped depending on the type of effect executed (for example, the type of reach effect, etc.). You may execute effects with different number of time reductions (duration). As a result, depending on the type of production, the player's attention can be focused on the subsequent time reduction, and the game entertainment can be improved.

(B22) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game is controlled to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state), and the progress of the game is controlled. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means), and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. The transmitted command includes a special command that can specify the transition (control) from the normal state to the time saving state (special state), and the effect control CPU 120 executes a plurality of types of commands including the special command. A look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information that is specified to execute the variable display that can shift to the time saving state (special state) based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information when received. You may want to limit the execution (do not execute at all, make it executable in rare cases, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the effect control according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B23) Based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information, the look-ahead for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information specified to execute the variable display capable of shifting (controlling) to the jackpot gaming state (specific game state) is executed. The execution of the advance notice effect may be restricted. Then, as the look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of such a look-ahead notice effect, it may be possible to execute the effect of a common mode. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B24) The variable display based on the hold storage information for the look-ahead target is a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed, and a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed. In both the display and the case, the execution of the look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information may be restricted. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state as the game state shifts.

(B25) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute an effect having a higher expectation than a specific expectation (for example, hold when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red). Do not change the display color to red, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state as the game state shifts.

(B26) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute a specific type of effect (for example, when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red, the color of the hold display is changed to red. Do not change, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state as the game state shifts.

(Example of time reduction control using the variable display count that resulted in a predetermined display result such as the loss variable display count)
Next, an example of time saving control using a variable display count (number of continuations of variable display that has been lost) that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not result in a big hit, etc.) in a normal state will be described. As shown below, in the time saving state (special state), the number of continuations of the variable display that has become the predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) has reached the special number (for example, 1000 times). May be feasible on condition. As the predetermined result, the time saving state (special state) may be executed on condition that the number of continuations of the variable display resulting in the loss display result reaches the special number of times.

(C1) A game based on the fact that the variable display result becomes a specific display result after the first variable display by the first special symbol and the second variable display by the second special symbol are performed. It is possible to control to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the person, and the numerical information of the number of executions of the variable display that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) in the normal state is updated, and the numerical information is concerned. Based on the above, when the special condition that the number of executions (continuation) of the variable display resulting in the predetermined display result reaches the special number (for example, 1000 times) is satisfied, the normal state is changed to the time saving state (special state). You may control the game to be transferred. Then, the numerical information may be updated both when the predetermined display result is obtained in the first variable display and when the predetermined display result is obtained in the second variable display. As a result, the numerical information of the number of times that the predetermined display result is obtained is continuously updated regardless of whether the first variable display or the second variable display can be executed, so that the player can be easily rescued due to the time saving state. , It is possible to increase the player's motivation to play. Therefore, it is possible to suitably realize the relief of the player due to the time saving state.

(C2) The special condition is satisfied when it is determined based on the numerical information that a predetermined display result different from the specific display result is continuously displayed a special number of times (for example, 1000 times). You may do it. As a result, when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous, the player can be rescued by shifting to the time saving state (special state), so that the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(C3) The numerical information may be updated when the variable display is executed even in a state different from the normal state (probability change state, time saving state). As a result, the player can be suitably relieved when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous.

(C4) The numerical information may be initialized when a predetermined initialization condition is satisfied. Such an initialization condition may be satisfied by being controlled to the advantageous state. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when it is no longer necessary to rescue the player, such as when the player is in an advantageous state, and it is possible to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary.

(C5) When a special display result (time saving symbol) different from the specific display result is displayed as a variable display result in the normal state, control to shift to the time saving state (special state) can be executed, and the predetermined condition May be established when the special display result is displayed. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when the player no longer needs to be rescued, such as when the player is in a time-saving state (special state) that is advantageous to the player, and to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary. Can be done.

(C6) The predetermined condition may be satisfied when the variable display is executed a special number of times. As a result, it becomes possible to control the time saving state (special state) until the next advantageous state occurs substantially, so that the degree of relief for the player can be increased.

(C7) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the backup is stored when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The data can be initialized, and the numerical information may be initialized when the specific condition is satisfied. As a result, the numerical information backed up at the time of power failure is initialized at the time of data initialization and does not remain, so that it is suppressed from being disadvantageous to the amusement park side.

(C8) Based on the fact that the numerical information has reached the special number of times (for example, 1000 times or more), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) for a period of the special number of times or more (for example, 1000 times or more). In the time saving state (special state), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) again based on the numerical information becoming the special number of times, and the first time saving state (special state) and A different effect may be executed in the second time saving state (special state). As a result, in a game that is in an extremely disadvantageous state such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), the variable display time of the second time saving state is shorter than that of the first time saving state. It is possible to change the appearance of the production, such as, and it is possible to prevent a decline in the interest in the game. It should be noted that the same effect may be executed in the first time saving state (special state) and the second time saving state (special state) without executing such an effect. This makes it possible to prevent the player from being aware that the player is in an extremely disadvantageous state, such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), and suppresses a decline in the interest in the game. be able to.

(C9) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process relating to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and the special condition is satisfied when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value. The third process for controlling the time saving state (special state) based on the above is executed. Also. It is possible to hit the game ball into the first path (left side game area) and the second path (right side game area). In the normal state, the game ball is hit into the first path, and in the time saving state (special state), the second path. A game is played by hitting a game ball into the path. Then, during the execution of the third process, although it is not controlled to the time saving state (special state), it is notified that the second path should be fired (for example, right-handed notification by a right-handed lamp or the like). You may do it. Further, during the execution of the third process, a notification effect of shifting to a time saving state (special state) may be performed. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, by turning on the right-handed lamp by the CPU 103 for game control, it is possible to perform an effect of notifying the firing direction early (before the actual start of the time saving fluctuation) when actually shifting to the time saving state (special state). Will be.

(C10) When the specific display result is displayed in the variable display in which the special condition is satisfied, the second process may be executed after the first process is executed, and the third process may not be executed. .. As a result, since the control to the advantageous state is prioritized over the control to the time saving state (special state) based on the establishment of the special condition, the result is not more advantageous for the player, and the player's hobby of the game is enjoyed. The decrease can be suppressed.

(C11) The numerical information is updated when the variable display is started, and the numerical information becomes a specific value based on the fact that the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times. After the variable display ends (start of next fluctuation, waiting for customers), it is controlled to a time saving state (special state), and when the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times, special information (special number of times reached). When changing the flag) from the first numerical value to the second numerical value (flag set) and controlling to the time saving state (special state), the special information is changed from the second numerical value to the first numerical value (flag reset). You may. As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the control of shifting to the time saving state (special state) by managing the special information.

(C12) The CPU 103 for game control selects and determines a variation pattern of variable display, and selects and determines a variation pattern of a symbol determination time that differs depending on whether the special information is the first information or the second information. You may do so. As a result, when the variable display of the special number of times is executed, the effect can be suitably executed.

(C13) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process related to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value, the special condition is satisfied. The third process for controlling to the original time saving state (special state) is executed. Also. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means) that controls the progress of the game, and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. Then, it may be possible to transmit specific information (background designation, fluctuation pattern) according to the case where the value of the special figure process flag is the second numerical value and the third numerical value in the special state. .. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, different gaming states can be suitably identified, which facilitates gaming control. Then, if the command is different according to the game state identified at that time, the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) can execute suitable effect control according to the game state.

(C14) In the time saving state (special state), when the special condition is satisfied, the value of the special figure process flag is set to the first numerical value, the second numerical value, and the fourth numerical value different from the third numerical value. By doing so, it may be possible to control the time saving state (special state) again. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control.

(C15) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the end of the big hit game state (for example, the time is shortened). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C16) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). The fluctuation time is the same when the time is shortened and when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C17) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time was shortened after the big hit was completed). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C18) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In such a case, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C19) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 receives predetermined information (based on the backed up and stored data when the power is turned on). It is possible to transmit a ram clear command at the time of cold start and a command for notifying the number of fluctuations displayed until the end of the time saving state at the time of hot start) to the effect control CPU 120, and the effect control CPU 120 receives the predetermined information. A suggestion effect regarding the number of times the variable display was executed in a predetermined period after the power was turned on (so-called morning output is different, the background image is different, and an effect that suggests whether it is far or near within 100 rotation fluctuations is executed. (Easy, etc.) may be made feasible. It is possible to give the player a motivation to play the game in the morning, so that the operating rate of the game machine increases and the processing load does not increase.

(C20) The game control CPU 103 can transmit specific information (a command capable of specifying information related to the time saving state) to the effect control CPU 120 in connection with the execution of the variable display, and the effect control CPU 120 is capable of transmitting the effect control CPU 120. It may be possible to execute a special effect (such as an effect of suggesting the end of the number of time-saving states) related to being controlled to a special state based on the establishment of a special condition based on the specific information. Then, as the specific information, the first specific information (first background designation, dedicated countdown effect) capable of specifying that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is a predetermined value (for example, 127) or less is specified. Information) and second specific information (such as a command that counts down every 100 rotations) that can specify that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is larger than a predetermined value (for example, 127). May be good. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly causing a loss by periodically suggesting the function to the player, and it is possible to suitably realize the command processing.

(C21) The effect control CPU 120 is put into a time saving state (special state) when the special condition is satisfied, based on the execution of the variable display of the first predetermined number of times (for example, 300 times) less than the special number of times. It is possible to execute a suggestion effect (for time-saving state suggestion effect control) suggesting that it is controlled, and a second predetermined number of times (for example, a second predetermined number of times) less than the first predetermined number of times is executed before the variable display of the special number of times is executed. It is possible to execute the suggestion effect every time the variable display (such as 100 times) is executed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly losing the player by suggesting the function to the player on a regular basis.

(C22) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 is used when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 has the special condition (variable) after the backup-stored data is initialized and before the specific display result is displayed. The special display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the display count condition) and after the backup-stored data is initialized. A different effect (such as a different effect when shifting to the time-saving state) is executed when the state is controlled to the special state based on the satisfaction of the condition and when the time-saving state (special state) is controlled. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. In addition, the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized depending on the difference in the production. Therefore, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability setting can be changed, the setting is changed. Since it is possible to grasp the possibility that the setting has been made, the elements for guessing the setting are increased and the game entertainment can be improved.

(C23) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 is used when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 has the special condition (variable) after the backup-stored data is initialized and before the specific display result is displayed. The special display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the display count condition) and after the backup-stored data is initialized. When the condition is controlled based on the condition, different effects are executed after being controlled to the time saving state (special state) (the effect after shifting to the time saving state is different, etc.). As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. In addition, the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized depending on the difference in the production. Therefore, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability setting can be changed, the setting is changed. Since it is possible to grasp the possibility that the setting has been made, the elements for guessing the setting are increased and the game entertainment can be improved.

(D1) The execution ratio of the group notice effect may be different depending on whether the result of the variable display is the result of deriving the reduced working hours symbol, the case where the big hit occurs, or the case where the loss occurs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined 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.

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

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

In the time saving state, control (time saving control) is executed in which the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure is changed) is shortened 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, a time saving state, and a probability change state, which is advantageous for the player, 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.

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

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

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

The effect that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute includes displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notice effect includes a notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution, and a pre-reading advance notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the pre-reading notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (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, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type of the big hit game state having the same aspect as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a highly accurate state). By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not know whether the current state is in the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, by executing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high probability state and the low probability state. You may.

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

FIG. 277 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. 277, 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 lost symbol or the like is stopped and displayed, or the display corresponding to the game stopped state different from the lost symbol is displayed. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether or not the predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door 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 each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 29 is sequentially updated and displayed. After that, based on the fact that the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a staff member of the 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 game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be in the game stop state as in the case of the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

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

The clear signal is turned on by, for example, pressing the clear switch provided on the power supply board 17. Therefore, when the detection signal from the door 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 such a 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. 278. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 278 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 big hit game state and the small hit 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. 279 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 278 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 a start prize is generated, a random value for determining a display result (including a jackpot type) and a fluctuation pattern is 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 of step S27 shown in FIG. 277, 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, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is set to "big hit" or "small hit" based on the random number value for determining the display result, and the big hit type when the display result is set to "big hit". Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a definite special symbol (either a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a lost symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. 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 fluctuation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns is used by using a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern based on the pre-determination result of whether or not the display result is "big hit" or "small hit". It includes the process of determining. 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". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". If the display result is "missing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "missing", the game state is also updated when the time reduction state or the probability change state is controlled and the end of the number of cuts is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

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

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

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

The pachinko gaming machine 1 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 from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest probability of winning a big hit, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the probability of winning a big hit. In this example, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is 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. 280 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table. FIG. 280 (A) 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. 280 (B) 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. 281. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 281 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

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

Further, on the 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 emit a prohibition command (DI command). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in, for example, the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt enable, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are 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 processing 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. 282 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 281 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 282, 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 S177 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 or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command for specifying the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received, if the command specifies the start of the big hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to "6". Update to. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", which is the value corresponding to the small hit medium effect process. In addition, when the reception waiting time for the command has elapsed without receiving the command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "missing". Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the waiting process for hitting the special figure ends.

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

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

The jackpot effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect 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 S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

FIG. 283-4 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 109SG. 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. 283-4 (A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 283-4 (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. 283-4 (B), it is determined whether the variable display result (also referred to as a variable display result) is "missing", "big hit", or "small hit". Different EXT data are set according to the result (pre-determined result) and the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is to be used when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 283-4 (B), the command 8C00H is the first variable display result designation command indicating a predetermined result indicating that the variable display result is “missing”. .. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit B" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result 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 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying a preliminary determination result that the variable display result is a "small hit".

The command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command for designating the change stop (confirmation) of the decorative symbol in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a 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.

The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") for designating the display of an effect image indicating the start of a big hit game or a small hit game. The command A1XXH is a notification command during the opening of the big winning opening, 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 or the small hit.

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

The commands shown in FIG. 283-4 (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. 283-5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIGS. 283-5, in the feature unit 109SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern , Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for determining the display result of the normal map is 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 MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 109SG154 shown in FIG. 283-10, and updates various numerical data by software to update the random number value. Numerical data indicating a part of MR1 to MR4 may be counted.

The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as a special symbol in the special figure game as a “big hit” to the big hit 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.

FIG. 283-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 109SG 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 1 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. It is a referenced table.

In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 109SG, depending on whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the special figure display result judgment table 1, the table data indicating the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment determines whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the big hit gaming state. It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 109SG, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state (high probability state), more judgment values are obtained than when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). It is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the 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 of being determined (about 1/300 in the feature unit 109SG) (about 1 in the feature unit 109SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table 1, it is determined that when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the 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 of the game is high.

Further, FIG. 283-6 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 2 stored in the ROM 101. The special figure display result determination table 2 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite special symbol that becomes It is a table referenced for.

In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the feature unit 109SG, regardless of whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit".

In the special figure display result determination table 2, whether or not the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is controlled to the small hit gaming state with the special figure display result as "small hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result judgment table 2 in the feature unit 109SG, the number of judgment values assigned to the "small hit" is different between the case of the special figure game of the first special figure and the case of the second special figure. There is. Specifically, in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure, the judgment value is assigned to "small hit", but in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, it is assigned to "small hit". Judgment value is not assigned. Therefore, as will be described later, the variable display of the second special figure is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special figure, and the second start winning is formed by the variable winning ball device 6B by executing the time saving control. In the high base state where a prize is won in the mouth and a lot of variable display of the second special figure is executed, "small hit" is almost not generated, and the second start formed by the variable winning ball device 6B. In a high base state where a game ball can easily enter the winning opening, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a small hit in which a large number of game balls cannot be obtained and to prevent the game interest from deteriorating.

FIG. 283-7 (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 109SG 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 109SG will be described with reference to FIG. 283-7 (B). In the feature unit 109SG, 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 which is advantageous for 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 big hit game state by the "probability change big hit C" is a normal open big hit in which the land that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds). .. Further, in the big hit game state by "probability change big hit C" and "non-probability change big hit", the round that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state that is advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds). It is usually an open jackpot. Therefore, "Probability change jackpot A" is called 10 rounds (10R) probability variation jackpot, "Probability variation jackpot B" is called 5 rounds (5R) probability variation jackpot, and "Probability variation jackpot C" is called 2 rounds (2R) probability variation jackpot. May be called.

Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit game state in the feature unit 109SG changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player twice, and the opening time is 0.1 seconds. It has become. After the small hit game is completed, the game state immediately before the small hit game is inherited.

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

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "non-probability change big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature unit 109SG), or the special figure of the predetermined number of times. It ends when the game is in a big hit game state before the game is executed.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 283-7 (A), "probability variable 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 decided to control the jackpot type to the normal open jackpot state or the high-speed open jackpot state with a small number of rounds by setting the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Therefore, for example, by the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, in the game state where the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, it is possible to avoid the frequent occurrence of the big hit state where the winning ball is small. It is possible to prevent the game entertainment from deteriorating.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 283-7 (A), the allocation of the determination value for the jackpot type of "non-probability variation" is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Since it is the same regardless of whether it 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 value to the "probability variation jackpot B" and the "probability variation jackpot C" differs depending on whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Therefore, the 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. 283-8 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 109SG. In the feature unit 109SG, 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 cases where the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach 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 109SG provides only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns such as normal reach α, normal reach β, and the like are provided. It may be provided.

The fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 109SG corresponds to a special hit fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" or the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit C". PC1-1) is also included.

As shown in FIGS. 283-8, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 109SG is set shorter than that of the super reach variation pattern.

Further, in the present feature unit 109SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are first determined as the type of fluctuation pattern, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, and the like. Then, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type, the determination is made using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and 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 random values for determining the variation pattern type are used. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type.

FIG. 283-9 is an explanatory diagram of a method of determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 109SG. In the feature unit 109SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved storages.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 283-9, when the variable display result is a non-probability variable jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern is used using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α1 jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach α2 jackpot fluctuation pattern), and PB1-4 (super reach β1 jackpot fluctuation pattern). And PB1-5 (variation pattern of super reach β2 jackpot).

If the variable display result is a probabilistic jackpot, select the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, and use the jackpot variation pattern determination table A to set the variation patterns to PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot variation pattern) and PB1. -2 (variation pattern of super reach α1 jackpot), PB1-3 (variation pattern of super reach α2 jackpot), PB1-4 (variation pattern of super reach β1 jackpot) and PB1-5 (variation pattern of super reach β2 jackpot) To decide from.

As shown in FIG. 283-9, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table B have the same number of determination values assigned to PB1-1, while PB1-2 and PB1. The number of determination values assigned to -3, PB1-4, and PB1-5 is different. Specifically, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, 2 pieces are determined for PB1-1, 45 pieces are determined for PB1-2, 150 pieces are determined for PB1-3, 300 pieces are determined for PB1-4, and 500 pieces are determined for PB1-5. Each value is assigned. On the other hand, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table B, there are 2 determination values for PB1-1, 30 for PB1-2, 135 for PB1-3, 315 for PB1-4, and 515 for PB1-5. Each is assigned. That is, in the present feature unit 109SG, when the variable display result is a probability variation jackpot, the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of superreach β1 and β2 at a higher rate than when the variable display result is a non-probability variation jackpot PB1-4. Alternatively, since it is determined to be PB1-5, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is a small hit, the variation pattern determination table for special hits is selected, and the variation pattern is determined as PC1-1 (variation pattern for special hits) using the variation pattern determination table for special hits. do. That is, in the present feature unit 109SG, the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern depending on whether the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C or the small hit, so that the player can perform the variable display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to specify whether the result is a probabilistic big hit C or a small hit.

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is 2 or less, the deviation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern determination table A is selected. Using the deviation pattern determination table A, the variation patterns are PA1-1 (non-reach outlier variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach outlier variation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α1 outlier variation pattern), and PA2. It is determined from -3 (variation pattern of super reach α2 deviation), PA2-4 (variation pattern of super reach β1 deviation), and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation).

Further, when the variable display result is "missing" in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variable special figure is 3, the deviation pattern determination table B for loss is selected and the deviation is obtained. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α1 loss), and PA2. It is determined from -3 (variation pattern of super reach α2 deviation), PA2-4 (variation pattern of super reach β1 deviation), and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation).

Further, when the variable display result is "missing" in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the fluctuation special figure is 4, the deviation pattern determination table C for loss is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table C, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-3 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α1 loss), and PA2. It is determined from -3 (variation pattern of super reach α2 deviation), PA2-4 (variation pattern of super reach β1 deviation), and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation).

If the variable display result is "off" in the time saving state (high base state), the out-of-order variation pattern determination table D is selected, and the out-of-order variation pattern determination table D is used to set the variation pattern to PA1-4. (Non-reach out-of-time shortening fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-time fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α1 out-of-order fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach α2 out-of-range fluctuation pattern), and PA2 It is determined from -4 (variation pattern of super reach β1 deviation) and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation).

That is, when the variable display result is "off" in the feature unit 109SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of reserved storages of the variable special figure is 3 or 4, or the time is shortened. Since the variable display time is shorter than the normal non-reach deviation pattern (PA1-1), the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening variation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4). It is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit while preventing the game from being delayed.

As shown in FIGS. 283-28 to 283-35, the variable display of the super reach α1 (variable display of the variable patterns PA2-2 and PB1-2) in the feature unit 109SG has a special figure variable display time of 40. It is a second, and it is a variable display that executes a battle effect between the ally character A and the enemy character A as the reach effect of the super reach. The variable display of Super Reach α2 (variable display of variable patterns PA2-3 and PB1-3) has a special figure variable display time of 50 seconds, and as a super reach reach effect, a battle effect between ally character A and enemy character B is produced. It is a variable display to execute. The variable display of Super Reach β1 (variable display of variable patterns PA2-4 and PB1-4) has a special figure variable display time of 60 seconds, and as a super reach reach effect, a battle effect between ally character A and enemy character A is produced. It is a variable display to execute. The variable display of super reach β2 (variable display of variable patterns PA2-5 and PB1-5) has a special figure variable display time of 60 seconds, and as a reach effect of super reach, a battle effect between ally character A and enemy character A is produced. It is a variable display to execute.

As shown in FIG. 283-9, the jackpot expectation of super reach β2 is set to be the highest as the jackpot expectation of each variable display in the feature unit 109SG, and thereafter, super reach β1 and super reach α2 are set. , Super reach α1, normal reach, and non-reach are set in the order of high hit expectation (big hit expectation in each variable display in this feature unit 109SG: super reach β2> super reach β1> super reach α2> super reach α1. > Normal reach> Non-reach).

In other words, paying attention to the variable display of the super reach, in this feature unit 109SG, which of the ally character A and the ally character B displayed as the battle effect (super reach effect) is the battle effect (super). The jackpot expectation differs depending on the combination of whether the enemy character displayed as the reach effect) is the enemy character A or the enemy character B.

In the start winning command receive command buffer 109SG194A, the storage area (buffer numbers "1-1" to "1-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages of the first special figure reserved storage is set. A corresponding area) and a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “1-0”) corresponding to the first special figure during variable display are provided. Further, the start winning command buffer 109SG194A has a storage area (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the second special figure reserved storage. A storage area corresponding to the second special figure during variable display (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) is provided. When there is a start winning to the 1st start winning opening or the 2nd starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (1st starting opening winning designation command or the 2nd starting opening winning designation command), the symbol designation command, the variable category designation Four commands, a command and a hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command), are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command receive command buffer 109SG194A are the start opening winning designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category designation command, and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold storage. A storage area (entry) for storing the first special figure hold storage and the second special figure hold storage separately is secured in association with the hold storage number notification command.

The stored contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1" or buffer number "2-1") is started. The stored contents of the buffer number "1-0" or the buffer number "2-0" for storing the contents of the reserved storage for which the start condition is satisfied are displayed in a variable manner. It is set to be cleared in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the process is finished.

Further, in the start winning command buffer 109SG194A of the feature unit 109SG, a hold display flag in which a flag value corresponding to the display pattern (display mode) of the hold storage display is set is set in the first special figure hold storage and the second special figure hold storage. Figure A storage area is secured for each storage area (entry) so that it can be stored in association with each buffer number corresponding to the hold storage.

In the hold display flag, "0" corresponding to the display pattern of the normal hold storage display is stored when the execution of the look-ahead notice effect is not determined in the look-ahead notice setting process described later. As a result, the hold storage display in the normal display mode (for example, white circle) is displayed in the first hold storage display area 109SG005D and the second hold storage display area 109SG005U provided at the lower part of the image display device 5, and the first is displayed. When it is decided to execute the reading notice effect, "1" (square) corresponding to the display pattern of the hold storage display in a special mode (for example, square (◇) or star (☆)) different from the normal display mode. (◇))) or "2" (star (☆)) is set, so that the reserved storage display in a special mode different from the normal display mode is the first reserved storage display area 109SG005D and the second reserved storage display area 109SG005U. In the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display, it is foretold that there is a high possibility of a big hit or a super reach.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the command at the time of the start winning to the first start winning opening from the beginning (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 109SG194A. Then, at the time of the start winning to the second start winning opening, the command is stored from the beginning (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the second special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 109SG194A. go. At the time of the start winning, the start opening prize designation command to the hold storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, the start opening prize designation command is placed in the storage area corresponding to each of the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage or the second special figure hold storage. , The symbol specification command, the variable category specification command, and the hold storage count notification command are stored in this order.

The command stored in the start winning command buffer 109SG194A shown in FIG. 283-11 (B) is an entry (buffer) corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display that ended immediately before each time the variable display of the decorative symbol was started. The entry stored in the number "1-0" or "2-0") is deleted, and the entry corresponding to the pending storage of the variable display to be started (buffer number "1-1" or "2") is deleted. The storage contents of the entries stored in the entry corresponding to -1 ”) and the entries after the hold storage of the variable display to be started are shifted. For example, when the variable display of the decorative symbol of the first special figure hold storage is completed in the stored state shown in FIG. 283-11 (B), each command stored in the buffer number "0" is deleted, and the buffer number is deleted. Each command stored in "1" is shifted to the buffer number "0", and each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer number "2" is moved to the area corresponding to the buffer number "1". Each command that has been shifted and stored in the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "3" and "4" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "2" and "3". Therefore, the buffer number "0" is an area (entry) for storing each command related to the hold storage that is variably displayed at that time.

Next, the start winning determination process of the feature unit 109SG executed in step S101 of FIG. 278 will be described with reference to FIGS. 283-12. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting port switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether or not it is in a state (step 109SGS101a). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is in the ON state (step 109SGS101a; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the first special figure, is the predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 109SGS102). The CPU 103 may specify the first special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the first reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 109SG154. When the first special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step 109SGS102 (step 109SGS102; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 109SG155 is set to "1" (step 109SGS102; N). Step 109 SGS103).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step 109SGS101a (step 109SGS101; N) or when the first special figure reserved storage number reaches the upper limit value in step 109SGS102 (step 109SGS102; Y). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is in the ON state ( Step 109 SGS101b). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is in the ON state (step 109SGS101b; Y), the second special figure reserved storage number, which is the reserved storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 109SGS105). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the second reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 109SG154. When the second special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step 109SGS105 (step 109SGS105; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 109SG155 is set to "2" (step 109SGS105; N). Step 109 SGS106).

After executing any of the processes of step 109SGS103 and step 109SGS106, the special figure hold storage number corresponding to the start port buffer value, which is the storage value of the start port buffer, is updated to be added by 1 (step 109SGS107). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first hold storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the second hold storage count value is added by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of reserved storages is also updated to be added by 1 (step 109SGS108). For example, the total hold storage count value, which is the storage value of the total hold storage counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 109SG154, may be updated to be added by 1.

After executing the process of step 109SGS108, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determination from the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random number of the game control counter setting unit 109SG154. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for the purpose and the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (step 109SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random value extracted in this way is stored by being set as hold information at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step 109SGS110). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit 109SG151A, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the start port buffer value is "2". Numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 109SG151B.

Numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type determine whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is "big hit", and further, the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step 109SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for determining the variable display result including the variable display result of the special symbol and the decorative symbol and the variable display time.

Following the process of step 109SGS110, the transmission setting of the start opening winning designation command according to the start opening buffer value is performed (step 109SGS111). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. 12 is set to send the first start opening winning designation command. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 can be used. The setting for sending the second start opening prize designation command is made. The start port winning designation command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 277 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

Following the process of step 109SGS111, the winning random number value determination process is executed (step 109SGS112). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the hold storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12. (Step 109 SGS113). The hold storage number notification command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 277 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

After executing the process of step 109SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start port buffer value is "1" (step 109SGS114). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step 109SGS114; Y), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 109SGS115), and then the process of step 109SGS104 is performed. move on. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (step 109SGS114; N), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 109SGS116), and then the start prize is won. End the process. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B detect a valid start prize for the game ball at the same time, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be surely completed.

FIG. 283-13 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 109SGS112 of FIG. 283-12 as the winning random number value determination process. When the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started in the feature unit 109SG, the special symbol display result (variable display of the special symbol) is performed by the special symbol normal processing (step S22 in FIG. 278, FIG. 283-11) described later. The result) is regarded as a "big hit", and it is determined whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. Further, in the variation pattern setting process (step S23 in FIG. 278, FIG. 283-12) described later, the determination of the variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is performed. On the other hand, apart from these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination processing in step 109SGS112 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). As a result, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of displaying the special symbol, and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined display mode accompanied by super reach. As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the start winning opening is started, that is, whether or not to make a big hit at the start of the variable display is determined. Before, it is determined whether the special figure display result is a "big hit" or the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the variable display mode of which category, and based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 120 or the like determines. , As will be described later, advance notice effects such as pre-reading advance notice effects will be executed.

In the winning random number value determination process shown in FIG. 283-13 (A), the CPU 103 first confirms the state of the time saving flag and the probability variation flag provided in, for example, the game control flag setting unit 109SG152, for pachinko gaming. The current gaming state in the machine 1 is specified (step 109SGS121). The CPU 103 identifies that it is in the probabilistic state when the probabilistic flag is on, identifies that it is in the probabilistic state when the probabilistic flag is off and the time saving flag is on, and both the probabilistic flag and the time saving flag are in the time saving state. When it is off, it may be specified that it is in the normal state.

Following the process of step 109SGS121, the special figure display result determination table 1 shown in FIG. 283-6 is selected and set (step 109SGS122). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 109SGS109 of FIG. 283-12 is within the predetermined jackpot determination range (step 109SGS123). In the jackpot determination range, individual determination values assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected by the process of step 109SGS 122 are set, and the CPU 103 determines each determination as a random value MR1. It suffices if it is possible to determine whether or not there is a determination value that matches the random number value MR1 by comparing the values one by one. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the judgment value included in the big hit judgment range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and the minimum value or the maximum value of the big hit judgment range. By comparing, it suffices if it can be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range. At this time, by determining that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the reserved data including the random number value MR1 is determined as "big hit".

When it is determined in step 109SGS123 that the jackpot is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is not achieved in the variable display (step 109SGS123; N), the special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 2 is selected and set (step 109SGS124). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 109SGS109 of FIG. 283-12 is within the predetermined small hit determination range (step 109SGS125).

When the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is within the predetermined small hit determination range, that is, when it is determined to be a small hit in the variable display (step 109SGS125; Y), the variable display result is "small hit". The transmission setting of the sixth symbol designation command, which is the symbol designation command corresponding to the above, is executed (step 109SGS126), the variation pattern determination table for special hits is selected and set (step 109SGS127), and the process proceeds to step 109SGS138. ..

If the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is not within the predetermined small hit judgment range, that is, if the variable display result is "missing" in the variable display, the symbol corresponding to the variable display result being "missing". The transmission setting of the first symbol designation command, which is a designated command, is executed (step 109SGS128), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is on, that is, whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state (step). 109SGS129). When the time reduction flag is off (step 109SGS129; N), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set, and when the time reduction flag is on (step 109SGS129; Y), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set. Table D is selected and set (step 109SGS131). The deviation pattern determination table A is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the number of reserved storages is 2 or less. Further, the deviation pattern determination table D is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the gaming state is a high base state in which the time saving control is executed.

In addition, in this feature unit 109SG, in addition to the deviation pattern determination table A and the deviation variation pattern determination table D, the deviation pattern determination table B used when the number of reserved storages is three , The deviation pattern determination table C used when the number of reserved storages is 4, is prepared in advance. However, as shown in FIG. 283-9, these are out of the deviation pattern determination tables A to C. In the deviation pattern determination table A, 600 determination values from 0 to 599 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. In the variation pattern determination table B, 700 determination values from 0 to 699 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take, and the variation pattern determination table for loss is assigned. In C, 800 determination values from 0 to 799 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take. On the other hand, in the deviation pattern determination tables A to C, 97 determination values from 901 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach within the range that the random number value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. ..

Therefore, by determining the variation pattern using the deviation pattern determination table A in step 109SGS126, the determination of non-reach and super reach is always non-reach or super reach even if the reserved storage number changes after the determination. Therefore, in the determination at the time of starting winning, the variation pattern determination table A for loss is used for determination.

Further, when it is determined in step 109SGS123 that the jackpot is within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined to be a jackpot during variable display (step 109SGS123; Y), as shown in FIG. 283-13 (A). , The jackpot type is determined based on the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type (step 109SGS132). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the jackpot type determination table data from the table data that constitutes the jackpot type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

In addition, a symbol designation command according to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot A, a third symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot B, and a probability variation jackpot C. Executes the transmission setting of the 4th symbol designation command, and if it is a non-variable jackpot, the transmission setting of the 5th symbol designation command (step 109SGS133), and then determines whether or not the determined jackpot type is a non-variable jackpot. (Step 109SGS134a). When the determined jackpot type is a non-probability variation jackpot (step 109SGS134a; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected and set as a table for determining the jackpot variation pattern (step 109SGS135), and the step is performed. Proceed to 109SGS138.

If the determined jackpot type is a probabilistic jackpot (step 109SGS134a; N), the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected and set (step 109SGS136), and the process proceeds to step 109SGS138.

After executing any of the processes of step 109SGS127, step 109SGS130, step 109SGS131, step 109SGS135, and step 109SGS136, a numerical value indicating each variation pattern determination table set in each of these steps and a random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination. Using the data, the variation category according to the range of the determination value including the random number value MR3 is determined (step 109SGS138). In this feature unit 109SG, as shown in FIG. 283-13 (B), when at least the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode is "non-reach" in common regardless of the total number of reserved storages. A variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", a variable category that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach), and a variable category of "other" that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" are provided. It suffices if it can be determined whether or not such a fluctuation category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

After that, after setting for transmitting the variation category designation command according to the determination result by the process of step 109SGS138 to the effect control board 12 (step 109SGS132), the winning random number value determination process is terminated.

Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 283-14 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S75 of FIG. 279 as the command analysis process. In the command analysis process shown in FIGS. 283-14, the effect control CPU 120 first receives from the main board 11 transmitted via the relay board 15 by confirming the stored contents of the effect control command reception buffer. It is determined whether or not there is a command (step 109SGS221). At this time, if there is no received command (step 109SGS221; N), the command analysis process ends.

If there is a receive command in step 109SGS221 (step 109SGS221; Y), for example, by checking the MODE data of the receive command, it is determined whether or not the receive command is the first start opening winning designation command. (Step 109SGS222).

If the reception command is not the first start opening winning designation command in step 109SGS222 (step 109SGS222; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second start opening winning designation command (step 109SGS224).

If the reception command is not the second start opening winning designation command in step 109SGS224 (step 109SGS224; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is a symbol designation command (step 109SGS226). If the received command is not a symbol designation command in step 109SGS226 (step 109SGS226; N), it is determined whether or not the received command is a variable category command (step 109SGS227). If the received command is not a variable category command in step 109SGS227 (step 109SGS227; N), it is determined whether or not the received command is the first reserved storage number notification command (step 109SGS228).

If the reception command is not the first hold storage number notification command in step 109SGS228 (step 109SGS228; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second hold storage number notification command (step 109SGS230).

When the reception command is the first start opening winning designation command in step 109SGS222 (step 109SGS222; Y), or when the reception command is the second start opening winning designation command in step 109SGS224 (step 109SGS224; Y), in step 109SGS226. When the receive command is a symbol designation command (step 109SGS226; Y), when the receive command is a variable category command in step 109SGS227 (step 109SGS227; Y), the receive command is the first hold storage number notification command in step 109SGS228. In the case (109SGS228; Y), when the reception command is the second hold storage number notification command in step 109SGS230 (step 109SGS230; Y), the reception command is vacant in the start winning reception command buffer 109SG194A shown in FIG. 283-11. It is stored at the beginning of the area (step 109SGS233), and the process returns to the process of step 109SGS221.

When the hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command) is received together with the variable display start command (first variable display start command or second variable display start command). , The hold storage number notification command may not be stored in the start winning command receive command buffer 109SG194A. That is, it suffices that the effect control commands received in response to the occurrence of the start winning can be sequentially stored from the beginning of the free area in the start winning command buffer 109SG194A.

If the reception command is not the second hold storage number notification command in step 109SGS230 (step 109SGS230; N), settings are made according to other reception commands (step 109SGS234), and the process returns to step 109SGS221.

In particular, in the processing of this feature unit 162SGS234, when the reception command is the first ball ejection state designation command, it is determined that the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state, and the value of the ball ejection state flag for production is set to "0". If the receive command is the second payout state specification command, it is determined that the payout state is the first high payout state, and the value of the payout state flag for production is set to "1". If the reception command is the 3rd ball ejection state specification command, it is determined that the ball ejection state is the 2nd high ball ejection state, and the value of the ball ejection state flag for production is set to "2". Set (update) to.

In the command analysis process of the feature unit 109SG, if the received command is any of the start opening prize designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category command, and the hold storage number notification command, the received command is used when the start prize is won. An example is an example of sequentially storing from the beginning of the free area of the receive command buffer 109SG194A, but the present invention is not limited to this, and when the receive command is the first start opening winning command, the hold storage number notification command is used. If a timer for waiting for reception is set and the hold storage number notification command is not received before the timer goes out, the entry hold storage that has not received the hold storage number notification command will be described later. It may be set out of the target of the reading notice effect.

FIG. 283-15 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S161 of FIG. 278 as the pre-reading notice setting process. In the pre-reading notice setting process shown in FIGS. 283-15, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning command buffer 109SG194A (step 109SGS241), and the hold storage (entry) in which the hold display flag is not set is set. It is determined whether or not there is (step 109SGS242a). When there is no hold storage in which the hold display flag is not set (step 109SGS242a; N), the look-ahead notice setting process is terminated, and when there is hold storage in which the hold display flag is not set (step 109SGS242a; Y), the read-ahead notice setting process is terminated. Further, it is determined whether or not the reach effect of the super reach is being executed (step 109SGS242b).

Whether or not the reach effect of the super reach is being executed depends on whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is 2 (whether or not the variable display is being executed) and the value of the effect control process flag. If is 2, the content of the process data of the variable display being executed may be referred to, and it may be determined whether or not the reach effect of the super reach is being executed.

If the reach effect of the super reach is being executed (step 109SGS242b; Y), the process proceeds to step 109SGS250, and if the reach effect of the super reach is not being executed (step 109SGS242bb; N), the entry (hold display flag is further set). It is determined whether or not the symbol designation command stored in the non-set entry) is a symbol designation command indicating a small hit (step 109SGS243a). If the symbol designation command stored in the entry is a symbol designation command indicating a small hit (step 109SGS243a; Y), the process proceeds to step 109SGS250, and the symbol designation command stored in the entry indicates a miss or a jackpot. When it is a symbol designation command (step 109SGS243a; N), it is determined whether or not the symbol designation command stored in the entry is the first symbol designation command (symbol designation command indicating loss) (step 109SGS243b). ..

When the symbol designation command stored in the entry is not the first symbol designation command, that is, when the symbol designation command stored in the entry is a symbol designation command indicating a jackpot (step 109SGS243b; N), The jackpot type is specified from the symbol specification command of the entry (step 109SGS244).

Then, for example, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for the look-ahead advance notice effect extracted from the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 109SG193 and the jackpot type specified in step 109SGS244, the jackpot pre-reading (not shown) is performed. By referring to the advance notice effect determination table, it is determined whether or not to execute the look-ahead advance notice effect and the display pattern when the look-ahead advance notice effect is executed (step 109SGS245).

In step 109SGS245, for example, the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) are determined at the determination ratio as shown in FIGS. 283-16. In the setting example of the determination ratio shown in FIGS. 283-16, the presence / absence of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the determination ratio of the display pattern (notice type) are different depending on the jackpot type specified in the process of step 109SGS244.

Specifically, two types of display patterns α and display patterns β are provided as display patterns (notice types) for the pre-reading notice effect. Of these, when the display pattern of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern α, the hold storage display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 109SG005D or the second hold storage display area 109SG005U as a white square (◇). When the display pattern (notice type) of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern β, the hold storage display is a white star (☆) and the first hold storage display area 109SG005D or the second hold storage display is displayed. It is displayed in the area 109SG005U.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 283-16, when the jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot", the ratio at which the display pattern β is determined as the display pattern (notice type) is higher than the ratio at which the display pattern α is determined. Is also set high. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot", the ratio at which the display pattern β is determined as the display pattern (notice type) is set lower than the ratio at which the display pattern α is determined.

With such a setting, when the variable display result is "big hit" and the display pattern β is displayed as the display pattern (notice type), the big hit type is higher than when the display pattern α is displayed. Is a probable big hit, and the player's expectation that it will be a probable big hit can be increased.

In addition, in this feature unit 109SG, when the variable display result is a big hit, the display pattern α or the white star that displays the hold storage display in the white square (◇) by always deciding the execution of the pre-reading notice effect. Although one of the display patterns β displayed in the shape (☆) is executed, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display result is variable even when it is a big hit. A case may be provided in which it is determined not to execute the pre-reading notice effect as in the case where the display result is “off”.

Further, in step 109SGS243b, when the symbol designation command of the entry in which the display undecided flag is on is the first symbol designation command, that is, when the command indicates an error (step 109SGS243b; Y), the display is undecided. The variable category indicated by the variable category specification command of the entry in which the flag is on is specified (step 109SGS247). Specifically, if the variation category specification command of the entry is C600H, it is specified as a category of "non-reach" variation pattern, and if it is C601H, it is a category of "super reach" variation pattern. If it is C602H, it may be specified that it is a category of "other" fluctuation patterns including normal reach.

Then, for example, it is not shown based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for the pre-reading advance notice effect extracted from the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 109SG193, and the category of the fluctuation pattern specified in step 109SGS247. By referring to the pre-reading notice effect determination table at the time of loss, it is determined whether or not to execute the pre-reading notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) when the pre-reading notice effect is executed (step 109SGS248).

In step 109SGS248, for example, the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) are determined at the determination ratio as shown in FIGS. 283-16. In the setting example of the determination ratio shown in FIGS. 283-16, the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the determination ratio of the display pattern (notice type) are different depending on the category of the fluctuation pattern specified in the process of step 109SGS247. There is.

Specifically, two types of display patterns (notice types) are provided, a display pattern α and a display pattern β. Of these, when the display pattern (notice type) is determined to be the display pattern α, the first hold storage display area 109SG005D or the second hold storage display area is represented by a white square (◇) in which the hold storage display is a specific mode. When it is displayed on the 109SG005U and the display pattern (notice type) is determined to be the display pattern β, the hold storage display is a white star shape (☆), which is a specific mode, and the first hold storage display area 109SG005D or the second hold. It is displayed in the storage display area 109SG005U. When the pre-reading notice effect is determined not to be executed, it is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 109SG005D or the second reserved storage display area 109SG005U in a round shape (◯) in which the reserved storage display is a normal mode.

As shown in FIGS. 283-16, when the variable display result is "missing" and the variable pattern category is "other", the variable display result is "missing" and the variable pattern category is "non". The rate at which the pre-reading notice effect is executed (the rate determined other than "no notice effect") is set higher than in the case of "reach". Also, when the variable display result is "off" and the variable pattern category is "super reach", the variable display result is "off" and the variable pattern category is "other". The rate at which the pre-reading notice effect is executed (the rate determined other than "no notice effect") is set high.

When the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is decided when the variable display result is "off", when the variable category is "other", the variable pattern category is "non-reach". Also, the ratio at which the display pattern α is determined is set high. Further, when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "super reach", the rate at which the display pattern α is determined is set higher than when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "other". Further, when the variable display result is "off" and the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is decided, when the variable pattern category is "other", the variable pattern category is "non-reach". The rate at which the display pattern β is determined is set higher than in the case of, and when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "super reach", the display pattern is higher than when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "other". The rate at which β is determined is set high.

When the variable display result is "off", the rate at which the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be non-execution regardless of whether the variation pattern category is "non-reach", "other", or "super reach". Is set to the highest, and the ratio at which the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be executed and the display pattern β is determined is set to the lowest.

Further, when the variable display result is "big hit", the pre-reading notice effect is not determined to be non-execution (no advance notice effect), the pre-reading advance notice effect is determined to be executed, and the display pattern α. Alternatively, the ratio at which the display pattern β is determined is set higher than the ratio at which the display pattern α or the display pattern β is determined in any of the fluctuation pattern categories when the variable display result is “off”.

Further, when the variable display result is "off (non-reach)", "off (super reach)", or "off (other)", the display pattern α is determined when the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is determined. Is set higher than the rate at which the display pattern β is determined. On the other hand, when the variable display result is "big hit (probability variable big hit)", when the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is decided, the ratio at which the display pattern β is determined is the ratio at which the display pattern α is determined. Is set higher than.

When the display pattern α or the display pattern β is executed (displayed) as the display pattern (notice type) of the pre-reading notice effect by such a setting, the display pattern α or the display pattern β is not executed (displayed). There is a higher possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit", especially when the display pattern β is executed (displayed), the variable display result will be a "big hit" and the jackpot type will be "probability variable jackpot". Since the ratio is increased, the player's expectation can be increased.

After the execution of step 109SGS248, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect is determined in step 109SGS247, that is, the display pattern (notice type) is determined to be either the display pattern α or the display pattern β. It is determined whether or not (step 109SGS249).

After the execution of step 109SGS245 or when the execution of the look-ahead notice effect is decided (step 109SGS249; Y), the flag value corresponding to the decided display pattern (notice type) is set in the hold display flag of the entry (step). 109SGS246). Specifically, if the display pattern (notice type) determined in step 109SGS245 or step 109SGS248 is the display pattern α indicating the hold storage display by “◇”, “1” is set in the hold display flag of the entry, and the step If the display pattern (notice type) determined in 109SGS245 or step 109SGS248 is the display pattern β indicating the hold storage display by “☆”, “2” is set in the hold display flag of the entry, and then the process proceeds to step 109SGS252.

If the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is not determined in step 109SGS249 (step 109SGS249; N), after setting the hold display flag of the entry to "0" indicating a white "○" (step 109SGS249). 109SGS250), the process proceeds to step 109SGS252.

Further, as described above, even when the reach effect of the super reach is being executed (step 109SGS242b; Y) or when the symbol designation command of the entry is a symbol designation command indicating a small hit (step 109SGS243a), the entry is also entered. After setting the hold display flag to "0" indicating a white "○" (step 109SGS250), the process proceeds to step 109SGS252.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 updates the hold display based on the stored contents of the start winning command buffer 109SG194A (step 109SGS252). As a result, the hold storage newly stored in the start winning command buffer 109SG194A is displayed in the display mode corresponding to any of "0", "1", and "2" set in the hold display flag. To. Further, even when the variable display is executed and the stored contents of the start winning command buffer 109SG194A are shifted, FIG. 283-17 shows the stored contents of the start winning command buffer 109SG194A after the shift. As shown, the hold display of the first hold storage display area 109SG005D and the second hold storage display area 109SG005U provided at the lower position of the image display device 5 is updated.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 283-17, if the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is one, one reserved storage display is displayed. As for the display mode of the hold storage display, when the flag value of the hold display flag corresponding to the hold storage is "0", it is displayed in the display mode of "○" as shown in FIG. 283-17. , When the flag value of the hold display flag is "1", it is displayed in the display mode of "◇", and when the flag value of the hold display flag is "2", the display mode is "☆". It is displayed in. If the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is two, two reserved storage displays are displayed, and the respective reserved storage displays correspond to the flag values set in the corresponding reserved storage display flags. Is displayed in the first hold storage display area 109SG005D. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is three, three reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the first hold storage display area 109SG005D. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is four, four reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the first hold storage display area 109SG005D.

Further, if the number of the second special figure reserved storage is one, one reserved storage display is displayed. As in the case of the first special figure, when the flag value of the hold display flag corresponding to the hold storage is "0", the display mode of the hold storage display is "○". When the flag value of the hold display flag is "1", it is displayed in the display mode of "◇", and when the flag value of the hold display flag is "2", "☆" is displayed. It is displayed in the mode. If the number of the second special figure hold storage is two, for example, as shown in FIG. 283-17, two hold storage displays are displayed, and each hold storage display is a hold display of the corresponding hold storage. As a mode according to the flag value set in the flag, for example, in the display mode in which the hold storage display of 1 is "○" and the display mode in which the hold storage display of 1 is "☆", the second hold storage display area 109SG005U is displayed. Is displayed. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the second special figure is three, three reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the second hold storage display area 109SG005U. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the second special figure is four, four reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the second hold storage display area 109SG005U.

Then, as shown in FIG. 283-17, the hold storage display is also displayed in a predetermined shift direction (in the feature unit 109SG, the screen is displayed) in response to the decrease (consumption) of the hold storage each time the variable display is executed. Shift toward the center of).

That is, when the hold storage is consumed in the variable display start setting process described later, which is executed at the start of the variable display, and the hold storage of the start winning command buffer 109SG194A is shifted, the start winning after the shift is started. Based on the hold storage of the receive command buffer 109SG194A, the hold storage display in the first hold storage display area 109SG005D and the second hold storage display area 109SG005U is also shifted and displayed, and there is a new hold storage due to the start winning. In that case, the display pattern of the hold storage is determined and set in the hold display flag, and the first hold storage display area 109SG005D or the second hold is set in the display mode according to the flag value set in the hold display flag. It will be displayed in the storage display area 109SG005U.

The feature unit 109SG exemplifies a mode in which the process of step 109SGS252 is executed in the pre-reading notice setting process, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first reserved storage display area 109SG005D is not limited thereto. The process for updating the hold display of the second hold storage display area 109SG005U may be individually executed as a process different from the pre-reading notice setting process (for example, the hold display update process).

Further, the feature unit 109SG determines in step 109SGS242 whether or not to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the hold memory in the start winning, provided that the command at the time of starting winning is newly stored. Since the start winning to the first starting winning opening and the starting winning to the second starting winning opening occur at the same time, a new storage of the command at the time of starting winning in both the first special figure and the second special figure in step 109SGS242 is performed. If it is determined that there is, that is, if there is an entry in which the display undecided flag is on in both the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory, both entries are pre-read notice. It is the target of determination of execution and non-execution of the production. Both the hold memory in which the command at the time of the start winning in the first special figure is newly stored and the hold memory in which the command at the time of the start winning in the second special figure is newly stored are executed and non-executed of the pre-reading notice effect. In the case of a decision target, if there is no entry of the hold display flag of "1" or "2" indicating the execution of the pre-reading notice effect, the hold display of the hold storage of the first special figure and the hold of the second special figure are held. The pre-reading notice effect may be executed at the same time on both sides of the display.

Further, in the feature unit 109SG, when the start winning to the first starting winning opening and the starting winning to the second starting winning opening occur at the same time as described above, the command at the time of the starting winning in the first special figure is issued. Both the newly stored hold memory and the newly stored hold memory in which the command at the time of the start winning in the second special figure is newly stored are subject to the determination of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect, but this is the present invention. In such a case, the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special figure, and the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the second special figure. You may decide to execute only one of them.

Specifically, when the gaming state is a normal state in which the high opening control is not performed, the determination of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the hold storage in the first special figure is held in the second special figure. Prioritize the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in memory. Then, when it is decided to execute the look-ahead notice effect in the hold memory in the first special figure, the execution of the look-ahead notice effect in the hold memory in the second special figure is uniquely decided not to be executed, and the first special figure is made. When it is decided not to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the figure, it may be decided to execute or not execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved storage in the second special figure.

On the other hand, when the gaming state is a time-saving state (high-accuracy high-base state / low-accuracy high-base state) in which high-opening control is performed, execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the hold memory in the second special figure. Is prioritized over the decision of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special figure. Then, when it is decided to execute the look-ahead notice effect in the hold memory in the second special figure, the execution of the look-ahead notice effect in the hold memory in the first special figure is uniquely decided not to be executed, and the second special figure is made. When it is decided not to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the figure, it may be decided to execute or not execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved storage in the first special figure.

FIG. 283-18 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 280. 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 109SGS271). When the first variable display start command reception flag is in the ON state (step 109SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer 109SG194A. The various command data and various flags stored in association with the above are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 109SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

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

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

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

After executing step 109SGS272 or step 109SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern specification command storage area (step 109SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (step 109SGS276). 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 109SG, 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, a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, "111") are used as stop symbols. It is determined from the combination of decorative patterns such as "333", "555", and "999"). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probabilistic big hit C, the stop symbols are "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the small hit. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fifth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probability change jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, a decorative symbol in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as stop symbols. Determine the combination (big hit symbol). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the sixth variable display result specification command corresponding to a small hit, the stop symbols are "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the probability change big hit C. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss, it is a decorative symbol in which the three symbols are not uniform as the stop symbol, and a combination other than the above-mentioned chance eyes. Determine (missing symbol).

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, in step 109SGS281, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 109SGS282).

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 109SGS283). 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.

In the feature unit 109SG, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern designation command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed by the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one, while the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the specified command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 109SGS284). Further, the first time is set in the variable display control timer (step 109SGS285). The first time is, for example, 33 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 converts the image data in the variable display including the image data indicating the display state of the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right into the VRAM each time the first time elapses. The writing and display control unit 123 outputs a signal corresponding to the image data written in the VRAM to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays the image corresponding to the signal. As a result, variable display of decorative patterns and display of moving images of other effects are realized (see FIGS. 283-20).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern (step 109SGS287). When the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach (step 109SGS287; Y), the second time is set in the movable body control timer (step 109SGS288). The second time is, for example, 1 ms, and each time the first time elapses, the effect control CPU 120 of the first movable body motor 109SG421, the second movable body motor 109SG422, and the third movable body motor 109SG423. Take control. As a result, the movement control of the first movable body 109SG401, the second movable body 109SG402L, and the third movable body 109SG402R is realized (see FIGS. 283-20).

After the execution of step 109SGS288, or when the variation pattern of the variable display is not the variation pattern of the super reach (step 109SGS287; N), the effect control CPU 120 changes the value of the effect control process flag during the effect display process (step). The value corresponding to S172) is set, and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 109SGS286).

FIG. 283-19 is a flowchart showing the effect processing during variable display (step S172) in the effect control process process. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 sets the respective values of the process timer, the variable display time timer, and the variable display control timer by -1 (step 109SGS301, step 109SGS302, step 109SGS303). When the variable display is a variable display of super reach (step 109SGS303b; Y), the value of the movable body control timer is set to -1 (step 109SGS303c).

After the execution of step 109SGS303c, or when the super reach is not variable display (step 109SGS303b; N), the process proceeds to step 109SGS306.

In step 109SGS306, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process timer has timed out. If the process timer is out, the process data is switched (step 109SGS307). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the process timer setting value set next in the process table to the process timer (step 109SGS308). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect component) is changed based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., which are set next (step 109SGS309a). On the other hand, when the process timer is not timer-out, the effect device (for effect) is according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.). The control of the component) is executed (step 109SGS309b).

After executing the process of step 109SGS309a or step 109SGS309b, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display is a super reach variable display (step 109SGS309f).

When the variable display is a variable display of super reach (step 109SGS309f; Y), it is further determined whether or not the movable body control timer is timer-out (109SGS309g). When the movable body control timer is out of time (step 109SGS309g; Y), the first movable body motor 109SG421, the second movable body motor 109SG422, and the third movable body motor 109SG423 are driven according to the contents of the process data. (Step 109SGS309h). Then, the movable body control timer is reset (the second time is set again in the movable body control timer), and the process proceeds to step 109SGS310 (step 109SGS309i).

If the variable display is not the variable display of super reach (step 109SGS309f; N) and the movable body control timer is not timer-out (step 109SGS309g; N), execute the processes of step 109SGS309h and step 109SGS309i. Proceed to step 109SGS310 without proceeding.

Next, it is confirmed whether or not the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 109SGS310). When the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 109SGS310; Y), the effect control CPU 120 is the next display screen (33 ms from the time of the previous image update) during the variable display including the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right. Image data of the screen to be displayed after the lapse of time) is created and written in a predetermined area of VRAM (step 109SGS311). In this way, in the image display device 5, variable display control of decorative patterns and display control of other images (display control of moving images) are realized. The display control unit 123 transmits a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. In this way, the image display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the decorative pattern in the variation of the decorative pattern. Further, the first time is reset to the variable display control timer (step 109SGS312).

Further, when the variable display control timer is not timer-out (step 109SGS310; N), after the execution of step 109SGS312, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variable display time timer is timer-out (step 109SGS313). .. If the variable display time timer is out of the timer, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure hit wait process (step S173) (step 109SGS315). Even if the variable display time timer is not out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is in the ON state (step 109SGS314; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is set as a special figure. The value is updated according to the wait process (step S173) (step 109SGS315). Even if the variable display time timer is not out of the timer, the control shifts to stop the fluctuation when the symbol confirmation specification command is received. Therefore, for example, the fluctuation pattern specification command that indicates a long fluctuation time due to noise between the boards. Is received, the variable display of the decorative symbol can be terminated when the regular variable display time has elapsed (at the end of the variable display of the special symbol).

In the process table used for the variable display control of the decorative symbol, the process data during the variable display of the decorative symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variable display time of the decorative symbol. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n in the process of step 109SGS306 times out, there is no process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.) to be switched, and variable display control of the decorative symbol based on the process table. Is finished.

Next, the operation mode of each effect device during the reach effect of the super reach α1, the super reach α2, the super reach β1, and the super reach β2 in the feature unit 109SG will be described. The effect mode of the variable display will be described with reference to FIGS. 283-21 to 283-24.

First, as shown in FIGS. 283-21 and 283-22, regarding the variable display of the super reach α1 and the super reach α2, when the reach production of the super reach α1 and the super reach α2 is started, the first enlarged display period , The character image displayed on the image display device 5 in the second enlarged display period and the third enlarged display period (in the case of the reach effect of the super reach α1, the reach effect of the ally character A and the enemy character A, and the reach effect of the super reach α2). If so, the enlarged display of the ally character A and the enemy character B) is executed.

Specifically, in the first enlarged display period, the character image is enlarged from the normal display magnification (1 times) to the display magnification m1 at a constant speed, and in the second enlarged display period, the character image is displayed from the display magnification m1. The image is magnified at a constant speed up to a magnification of m2, and in the third magnified display period, the character image is magnified at a constant speed from the display magnification m2 to the display magnification m3. Then, after the third enlarged display period ends, the display magnification of the character image is maintained at m3 for a predetermined period, and the display magnification of the character image is returned to the normal display magnification at the timing when the predetermined period elapses. ..

In the feature unit 109SG, the first enlarged display period, the second enlarged display period, and the third enlarged display period are all periods of the same length. Further, as shown in FIGS. 283-21 and 283-22, the difference between the display magnifications is the largest between the normal display magnification and the display magnification m1, and the difference between the display magnification m2 and the display magnification m3. Is the smallest. That is, in the feature unit 109SG, the enlargement speed of the character image is set to be the fastest in the first enlargement display period and the slowest in the third enlargement display period (character image enlargement speed: 1st enlarged display period> 2nd enlarged display period> 3rd enlarged display period). In the feature unit 109SG, "fast enlargement speed" means that the enlargement ratio of the image per unit time is large.

Hereinafter, in the feature unit 109SG, the period T2, the third enlarged display period, and the character image are the combined period (the period for executing the movable body motion suggestion effect) of the first enlarged display period and the second enlarged display period described above. A period including a predetermined period for maintaining the display magnification at m3 may be referred to as a period T3.

As shown in FIGS. 283-21, during the reach production of the super reach α1 and the super reach α2, if the variable display result is a big hit, the variable display ends from the end timing of the period T3 to the end timing of the variable display. As an effect of notifying that the variable display result is a big hit, the first movable body 109SG401 is moved from the retracted position to the effected position, and the second movable body 109SG402L and the third movable body 109SG402R are moved to the left and right of the first movable body 109SG401. After moving to a close position (after changing the movable body unit 109SG400 from the first state to the third state), after a while, the first movable body 109SG401, the second movable body 109SG402L, and the third movable body 109SG402R are each. The movable body operation effect A for moving the movable body unit 109SG400 to the retracted position (changing the movable body unit 109SG400 from the third state to the first state) is executed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 283-22, if the variable display result is out of alignment during the reach production of the super reach α1 and the super reach α2, from the end timing of the period T3 to the end timing of the variable display. By not operating the first movable body 109SG401, the second movable body 109SG402L, and the third movable body 109SG402R, the deviation notification effect for notifying that the variable display result is out of order is executed.

Hereinafter, in the feature unit 109SG, the execution period of the movable body effect A and the out-of-order notification effect may be referred to as a period T4. For these periods T2 to T4, the period T3 is the shortest period and the period T4 is the longest period (length of period T2 to period T4: period T4> period T2> period T3).

Further, during the reach effect of the super reach α1 and the super reach α2, the effect image is also displayed on the image display device 5 as the movable body motion suggestion effect A and the movable body operation effect A (only when the variable display result is a big hit). ..

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 283-21 and 283-22, in the image display device 5, the first movable body extends over the above-mentioned period T2 (first enlarged display period and second enlarged display period). A movable body motion suggestion effect A in which a plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S move toward the 109SG401 at a speed V1 is executed.

Further, when the variable display result is a big hit, a plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S are imaged from the first movable body 109SG401 at a speed V2 over the period T4 as a part of the above-mentioned movable body operation effect A. It moves (spreads) toward the edge of the display device 5. The absolute value of the velocity V2 is larger than the absolute value of the velocity V1. That is, the movable body motion effect A in the feature unit 109SG is also an effect in which the star-shaped effect image 109SG005S moves at a higher speed than the movable body motion suggestion effect A.

Further, during the reach production of the super reach α1 and the super reach α2, the light emission of the movable body LED 109SG495 is also executed. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 283-21 and 283-22, the movable body LED109SG495 has the above-mentioned period T2 (first enlarged display period and second enlarged display period) and the middle of the period T3 (more accurately). Makes the movable body LED 109SG495 emit light at the brightness C1 from the start timing of the first enlarged display period to the end timing of the third enlarged display period). Further, when the variable display result is a big hit, the movable body LED 109SG495 is caused to emit light at the luminance C2, which is higher than the luminance C1, over the period T4.

In addition, during the reach production of Super Reach α1 and Super Reach α2, it is possible to output four types of production sounds such as BGM, SE (sound effect), operation suggestion sound, and jackpot notification sound of music, etc. from the speakers 8L and 8R. The type of sound that is output differs depending on the time during the reach production.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 283-21 and 283-22, the BGM is a production sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R from the start of the variable display, and is from the speakers 8L and 8R only during the period T3. Output is stopped. That is, the output of the BGM in the reach effect is executed from the start timing of the reach effect to the end timing of the period T2 and over the period T4.

Further, the SE (sound effect) is a directing sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R from the start of the variable display like the BGM, but unlike the BGM, there is no period during which the output from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. .. That is, the output of SE in the reach effect is executed over the entire reach effect.

The motion suggestion sound is a sound effect output from the speakers 8L and 8R as a part of the movable body motion suggestion effect A. That is, the motion suggestion sound is output only in the period T2 which is the execution period of the movable body motion suggestion effect A, and is not output in other periods. The jackpot notification sound is a sound effect output from the speakers 8L and 8R as a part of the movable body operation effect A. That is, the jackpot notification sound is output only in the period T4, which is the execution period of the movable body motion effect A when the variable display result is a jackpot, and is not output in other periods.

As shown in FIGS. 283-23 and 283-24, regarding the variable display of super reach β1 and super reach β2, when the reach production of super reach β1 and super reach β2 is started, the first enlarged display period, the first Character image displayed on the image display device 5 during the 2 magnified display period and the 3rd magnified display period (if the reach effect of the super reach β1, the ally character B and the enemy character A, and the reach effect of the super reach β2) Enlarged display of ally character B and enemy character B) is executed.

After that, the enlarged display of the character image in the variable display of the super reach β1 and the super reach β2, the light emission mode of the movable LED 109SG495, the output of the BGM, SE, the operation suggestion sound, and the jackpot notification sound from the speakers 8L and 8R are shown in FIG. The description of the same embodiment as the variable display of the super reach α1 and the super reach α2 shown in 21 and FIGS. 283-22 will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 283-23, during the reach production of super reach β1 and super reach β2, if the variable display result is a big hit, it is variable from the end timing of the period T3 to the end timing of the variable display. As an effect of notifying that the display result is a big hit, the first movable body 109SG401 is moved from the retracted position to the effected position, and the second movable body 109SG402L and the third movable body 109SG402R are moved to the close position of the first movable body 109SG401. After moving (after changing the movable body unit 109SG400 from the first state to the third state), after a while, the first movable body 109SG401, the second movable body 109SG402L, and the third movable body 109SG402R are moved to the respective retracted positions. The movable body motion effect B to be moved (changes the movable body unit 109SG400 from the third state to the first state) is executed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 283-24, if the variable display result is out of alignment during the reach production of super reach β1 and super reach β2, from the end timing of the period T3 to the end timing of the variable display. By not operating the first movable body 109SG401, the second movable body 109SG402L, and the third movable body 109SG402R, the deviation notification effect for notifying that the variable display result is out of order is executed. The movable body effect B is an effect that is executed over the period T4 as in the above-mentioned movable body effect A and the out-of-order notification effect.

Further, during the reach production of the super reach β1 and the super reach β2, as shown in FIGS. 283-23 and 283-24, the above-mentioned period T2 (first enlarged display period and second enlarged display period) is extended. The movable body motion suggestion effect B for repeatedly moving (reciprocating) the first movable body 109SG401 between the retracted position and the suggested position is executed. The period T1 required for one reciprocating movement between the retracted position and the suggested position of the first movable body 109SG401 in the movable body motion suggestion effect B is shorter than the above-mentioned period T3 (the period T1 is shorter than the above-mentioned period T3. Length of period T1 to period T4: period T4> period T2> period T3> period T1).

As described above, in the variable display of super reach α1, super reach α2, super reach β1, and super reach β2, as shown in FIGS. 283-25, the movable body is used in the first enlarged display period and the second enlarged display period. While the motion suggestion effect is executed, the movable body motion suggestion effect is not executed in the third enlarged display period. Further, in the first enlarged display period, the second enlarged display period, and the third enlarged display period, the first enlarged display period has the fastest enlargement speed of the character image (the enlargement rate of the image per unit time is large), and the third. The enlargement display period is set to the slowest enlargement speed of the character image (the enlargement ratio of the image per unit time is small).

Further, as shown in FIG. 283-26 (A), when the movable body motion suggestion effect A and the movable body motion suggestion effect B are compared, the movable body motion suggestion effect A is a star-shaped effect image on the image display device 5. The 109SG005S repeatedly acts on the first movable body 109SG401 (a plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S move toward the first movable body 109SG401 at a speed V1), and the first movable body 109SG401 itself. Is not moving, whereas the movable body motion suggestion effect B is different in that the first movable body 109SG 401 is an effect of repeatedly moving between the retracted position and the suggested position. On the other hand, both the movable body motion suggestion effect A and the movable body motion suggestion effect B have in common that the movable body LED 109SG495 emits light at the brightness C1 during the execution period of the effect.

As shown in FIG. 283-26 (B), when the movable body movement effect A and the movable body operation effect B are compared, the movable body operation effect A moves the first movable body 109SG401 from the retracted position to the effect position. , The second movable body 109SG402L and the third movable body 109SG402R are moved to the proximity position of the first movable body moved to the effect position (the movable body unit 109SG400 is changed from the first state to the third state), and a plurality of This is an effect in which the star-shaped effect image 109SG005S diffuses from the first movable body 109SG401 at a speed V2. The movable body motion effect B moves the first movable body 109SG401 from the retracted position to the effect position, and moves the second movable body 109SG402L and the third movable body 109SG402R to the close position of the first movable body moved to the effect position. It is an effect of moving (changing the movable body unit 109SG400 from the first state to the third state), and the display that a plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S are diffused from the first movable body 109SG401 at a speed V2 is not executed. This is different from the movable body movement effect A. Further, both the movable body operation effect A and the movable body operation effect B have in common that the movable body LED 109SG495 emits light at the brightness C1 during the execution period of the effect.

Next, the display mode of the reach effect on the image display device 5 in the variable display of the super reach α1, the super reach α2, the super reach β1, and the super reach β2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 283-27 to 283-35.

Although a mode in which a plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S are displayed (see FIGS. 283-28 (D) and 283-30 (D)) in a reduced state is illustrated, the present invention is limited thereto. Instead, the movable body motion suggestion effect A is a timing before the image display device 5 reduces the contrast between the image of the ally character A and the image of the enemy character A or the enemy character B (for example, FIG. 283-28 (C)). And the timing of FIG. 283-30 (C)), the display of the plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S may be started.

In this way, when the image display device 5 starts displaying a plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S from a timing before the contrast between the image of the ally character A and the image of the enemy character A or the enemy character B is lowered, the display of the plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S is started. By increasing the transparency (transparency) of the plurality of star-shaped effect images 109SG005S, the effect image displayed on the image display device 5 (in the examples of FIGS. 283-28 and 283-30, the ally character A and the enemy character A) Alternatively, the image of the enemy character B) may be made easier to see than when the contrast is lowered.

Further, in the feature unit 109SG, as shown in FIGS. 283-29 (G) and the like, the explosion effect image 109SG005B is displayed on the image display device 5 and displayed on the image display device 5 when the movable body motion effect is executed. The present invention exemplifies a form in which a part of the effect image is invisible due to the effect image 109SG005B of the explosion, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the image is displayed when the movable body motion effect is executed. The explosion effect image 109SG005B or an image dedicated to the movable body motion effect may be displayed in the entire display area of the device 5, so that all the other effect images are invisible.

Further, the feature unit 109SG exemplifies a mode in which the movable body motion effect is executed during the reach effect of the super reach, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the timing for executing the movable body motion effect is not limited to this. The timing may be other than during the reach production of Super Reach. For example, as a modification 109SG-8, as shown in FIGS. 283-36 (A), 283-36 (B), and 283-37 (C) to 283-37 (H), a combination of decorative symbols is used. It may be possible to execute the movable body motion effect during the period from the reach to the start timing of the reach effect of the super reach.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 283-36 (B), the movable body motion suggestion effect is first started after the reach is reached, and in the image display device 5, the reach effect to be executed after that is highly expected (big hit). Reach effect (for example, reach effect of super reach α1, super reach α2, super reach β1, super reach β2 described in the feature unit 109SG) and low expectation (big hit game state) Which of the reach effects (for example, the reach effects with lower expectations than the reach effects of super reach α1, super reach α2, super reach β1, and super reach β2 described in the feature unit 109SG) As a branch effect for notifying whether to branch to, the image of the character with the eyes closed is displayed as the branch effect, as shown in FIG. 283-37 (C), during the execution of the movable body motion suggestion effect. The character is gradually enlarged and displayed.

When the variable display is a variable display that executes a low expectation reach effect, it is displayed on the image display device 5 as shown in FIGS. 283-37 (C) to 283-37 (E). The display area of the image display device 5 gradually darkens without the character opening his eyes. That is, in the branch effect, the character displayed on the image display device 5 is darkened without opening the eyes, so that the reach effect with a high expectation is not executed (the reach effect with a low expectation is executed). Be notified. Then, after the display area of the image display device 5 is completely darkened (after the branching effect is completed), the reach effect with a low expectation is executed.

On the other hand, when the variable display is a variable display that executes a high-expected reach effect, it is displayed on the image display device 5 as shown in FIGS. 283-37 (F) to 283-37 (H). It is notified that the reach effect with high expectation is executed by opening the eyes of the character. At this time, the movable body movement effect is also executed. Then, after the movable body movement effect and the branch effect are completed, the reach effect with a high degree of expectation is executed.

That is, the movable body motion effect may be executed as an effect of notifying that the jackpot game state is controlled as exemplified in the feature unit 109SG, but it is informed that a high-expected reach effect is executed. It may be executed as an effect to be performed (an effect to notify that the degree of expectation controlled by the jackpot game state is high).

In the present modification 109SG-8, as shown in FIGS. 283-36 (B) and 283-37 (C), the character in the state where the eyes are closed is gradually enlarged and displayed in the image display device 5 as a branch effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a character in a state where the eyes are closed is gradually enlarged and displayed as a branching effect, the character is displayed on the image display device 5. At the same time, by displaying an effect image such as a concentrated line, the player may be able to pay attention to whether or not the character opens his eyes.

As described above, the feature unit 109SG exemplifies a mode in which the present invention is applied as a branch of whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit during the reach effect of the super reach. As shown, the present invention may be applied as a branch of whether a low expectation reach effect or a high expectation reach effect is executed. In this case, the specific image in the present invention is a character image (the first specific image is the image of the character with the eyes closed, the second specific image is the image of the character with the eyes open), and the effect image in the present invention. Corresponds to the above-mentioned images such as concentrated lines.

As shown in FIGS. 283-36 and 283-37, in the present modification 109SG-8, when the movable body motion effect is executed as an effect of notifying that the reach effect of high expectation is executed, the effect is to be executed. Although the embodiment in which the movable body motion suggestion effect is executed before the execution of the movable body motion effect is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the movable body motion suggestion effect may not be executed. Further, the execution ratio of the movable body motion effect may be different between the case where the movable body motion suggestion effect is executed and the case where the movable body motion suggestion effect is not executed (the ratio at which the high-expected reach effect is executed is different). (Explanation of feature unit 162SG)
Next, the feature portion 162SG (hereinafter, abbreviated as the present feature portion 162SG) in the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 162SG001 of the feature unit 162SG has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the above-mentioned basic configuration, and the same configuration with the same reference numerals as the basic configuration is described here.

Can be confirmed (understood).

FIG. 284-2 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 162SG. 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. 284-2 (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. 284-2 (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. 284-2 (B), it is determined whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing", "big hit", or "small hit". Different EXT data are set according to the result (pre-determined result) and the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is to be used when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 284-2 (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 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying a preliminary determination result that the variable display result is a "small hit".

The command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command for designating the change stop (confirmation) of the decorative symbol in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a game state designation command for designating the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001. In the game state designation command, for example, different EXT data is set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001. 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.

The command 96XXH is a ball ejection state designation command for designating the determination status of the ball ejection state determination in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001. In the ball ejection state designation command, as shown in FIG. 284-2 (C), different EXT data are set according to the determination status of the ball ejection state determination. As a specific example, the command 9600H is a command for designating a ball ejection state 1 corresponding to a low ball ejection state that is not determined to be a high ball ejection state, and the command 9601H is a command for the number of consecutive villas of a big hit to be the first determination number (5). The command 9602H is used as the command 9602H, and the number of consecutive villas in the jackpot is the second. 2 The command is to specify the ball ejection state 3 corresponding to the determination state determined to be the second high ball ejection state that is the number of determinations (10 times) or more.

The command 97XXH is a command for notifying the number of consecutive villas after the judgment, which is the number of times of the big hit state that occurred in the determined high ball output state after the determination of the high ball output state, and corresponds to the number of consecutive villas after the judgment. By setting the EXT data, the number of consecutive villas after the determination is specified on the effect control board 12 side by the EXT data.

The command 98XXH is a command for notifying the remaining variable display count after the determination, which is the variable display count (including the variable display count after the end of the high base state) executed after the determination of the high ball output state, and is variable after the determination. By setting the EXT data corresponding to the remaining number of display times, the variable remaining number of display after determination is specified on the effect control board 12 side by the EXT data.

The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") for designating the display of an effect image indicating the start of a big hit game or a small hit game. The command A1XXH is a notification command during the opening of the big winning opening, 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 or the small hit.

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

The commands shown in FIG. 284-2 (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. 284-3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 284-3, in the feature unit 162SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern , Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for determining the display result of the normal map is 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 MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 162SG154 shown in FIG. 284-9, and updates various numerical data by software to update the random number value. Numerical data indicating a part of MR1 to MR4 may be counted.

The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as a special symbol in the special figure game as a “big hit” to the big hit 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.

FIG. 284-4 (A) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 162SG uses a display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure as the display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first special figure is not limited to this. A separate display result determination table may be used for the figure and the second special figure.

The display result determination table 1 has 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.

In the display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 162SG, a special figure is shown depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001 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 display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the display result determination table 1, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is the determination result of 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. In the display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 162SG, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state (high probability state), more judgment values are obtained as "big hit" than when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Is assigned to the special figure display result. As a result, in the probabilistic state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001, 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 this feature unit 162SG) (about 1 in this feature unit 162SG). / 30). That is, in the display result determination table 1, when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001 is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), the probability that it is determined to control the game state to the big hit game state as compared with the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that

Further, FIG. 284-4 (B) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table 2 stored in the ROM 101. The display result determination table 2 has a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. It is a referenced table.

In the display result determination table 2 in the feature unit 162SG, the special figure shows whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001 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 display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit".

In the display result determination table 2, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result determines whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as a "small hit" in the small hit gaming state. It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the display result determination table 2 in the feature unit 162SG, the number of determination values assigned to the "small hit" is different between the case of the special figure game of the first special figure and the case of the second special figure. Specifically, in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure, the judgment value is assigned to "small hit", but in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, it is assigned to "small hit". Judgment value is not assigned. Therefore, as will be described later, the variable display of the second special figure is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special figure, and the second start winning is formed by the variable winning ball device 6B by executing the time saving control. In the high base state where a prize is won in the mouth and a lot of variable display of the second special figure is executed, "small hit" is almost not generated, and the second start formed by the variable winning ball device 6B. In a high base state where a game ball can easily enter the winning opening, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a small hit in which a large number of game balls cannot be obtained and to prevent the game interest from deteriorating.

FIG. 284-5 (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 162SG has a plurality of types of jackpot types 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 162SG will be described with reference to FIG. 284-5 (B). In the feature unit 162SG, 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 which is advantageous for 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. .. 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, the "probability change jackpot A" may be referred to as a 10 round (10R) probability variation jackpot, and the "probability variation jackpot B" may be referred to as a 5 round (5R) probability variation jackpot. Further, in the jackpot game by "probability variation jackpot C", the round that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds), and the special in each round is executed. The open period of the variable winning ball device 7 is shorter than that of other jackpot games (for example, 0.1 second), which is a high-speed open jackpot. It should be noted that the probability variation control and the time saving control are not executed even during the big hit game of any of the big hit types.

Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit game state in the feature unit 162SG changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player twice, and the opening time is the same as the probability variation big hit C. It is an open period (0.1 seconds in this feature unit 162SG). After the small hit game is completed, the game state immediately before the small hit game is inherited.

That is, in this feature unit 162SG, when it is determined to be "probability variable big hit C" or "small hit", variable display is executed with the same fluctuation pattern (PC1-1 shown in FIG. 284-6). As a result of the variable display, the chance eye is stopped and displayed, and since the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball device 7 is the same, these variable displays and the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball device 7 are used. Since it is not possible to distinguish between the "probability change jackpot C" in which the probability variation control is executed and the "small hit" in which the previous gaming state is continued without the probability variation control being executed, the probability variation jackpot C After the big hit game or the small hit game is completed, it is possible to continue the game while expecting the player to execute the probability change control.

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

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "non-probability change big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature unit 162SG), or the special figure of the predetermined number of times. It ends when the game is in a big hit game state before the game is executed.

In addition, the big hit that occurred in the low base state may be described as the first big hit (first hit), and the big hit that occurred in the time saving state (high accuracy high base state and low accuracy high base state) may be referred to as the consecutive villa big hit (ream). It may be described as (per villa). In addition, the period between the big hit state and the high base state from the time when the first big hit (first hit) occurs to the time when it is controlled to the normal state after that is also called the consecutive villa period (advantageous period). In addition, in this feature unit 162SG, even if the probabilistic jackpot C occurs, it is not controlled to a high base after the jackpot. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probabilistic jackpot C is set as the first jackpot (first hit), and the probabilistic jackpot C is used as the first jackpot. The period of the later high-accuracy and low-base state may be included in the consecutive villa period (advantageous period).

Although it is not carried out in this feature unit 162SG, instead of the probability variation jackpot C, a sudden time saving jackpot that makes the gaming state after the jackpot a low probability high base state may be provided. Suddenly, the time-saving jackpot becomes the first jackpot (first hit).

Further, for example, when a time-saving symbol (for example, a stop symbol of 137 or a stop symbol dedicated to time-saving that is not displayed in the variable display) is derived and displayed as a stop symbol, a round game for opening the special variable winning ball device 7 is executed. It may be controlled to the high base state without any trouble, and when the normal state is directly controlled to the high base state in this way, the start of the high base state is the timing of the start of the consecutive villa period (advantageous period). Will be.

That is, the consecutive villa period (advantageous period) is the period from the time when the normal state is controlled to either the jackpot state (advantageous state) or the high base state (special state) to the time when it is controlled to the normal state thereafter. Is.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 284-5 (A), "probability variable 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 decided to control the jackpot type to the normal open jackpot state or the high-speed open jackpot state with a small number of rounds by setting the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Therefore, for example, by the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, in the game state where the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, it is possible to avoid the frequent occurrence of the big hit state where the winning ball is small. It is possible to prevent the game entertainment from deteriorating.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 284-5 (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. 284-6 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 162SG. In this feature unit 162SG, 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 cases where the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative pattern 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 referred to as 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 162SG provides only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns such as normal reach α, normal reach β, and the like are provided. It may be provided. Further, even in the super reach fluctuation pattern, a plurality of super reach fluctuation patterns may be provided, such as super reach α, super reach β, and so on.

The fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 162SG is a special hit fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" or the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit C". PC1-1) is also included.

As shown in FIGS. 284-6, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 162SG is set shorter than that of the super reach variation pattern.

Further, in the present feature unit 162SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are first determined as the type of fluctuation pattern, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, and the like. Then, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type, the determination is made using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and 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 random values for determining the variation pattern type are used. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type.

FIG. 284-7 is an explanatory diagram of a method of determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 162SG. In this feature unit 162SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved storages.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 284-7, when the variable display result is a non-probability variable jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern is used using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. Is determined from PB1-1 (variation pattern of normal reach jackpot) and PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach jackpot). If the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot) using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. It is determined from the fluctuation pattern) and PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach jackpot).

As shown in FIG. 284-7, the number of determination values assigned to PB1-1 and PB1-2 is different between the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table B. Specifically, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, 498 determination values are assigned to PB1-1 and 497 determination values are assigned to PB1-2. On the other hand, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table B, 250 determination values are assigned to PB1-1 and 747 determination values are assigned to PB1-2. That is, in the present feature unit 162SG, when the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the variation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach at a higher rate than the case where the variable display result is the non-probability variation jackpot PB1. Since it is determined to be -2, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is a probabilistic big hit C or a small hit, select the special hit variation pattern determination table, and use the special hit variation pattern determination table to set the variation pattern to PC1-1 (special hit variation). Pattern) is decided. That is, in the present feature unit 162SG, the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern depending on whether the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C or the small hit, so that the player can perform the variable display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to specify whether the result is a probabilistic big hit C or a small hit.

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is 2 or less, the deviation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern determination table A is selected. The variation pattern is determined from PA1-1 (non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-range variation pattern), and PA2-2 (super reach out-of-reach variation pattern) using the out-of-reach variation pattern determination table A. do.

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is 4, the deviation pattern determination table C for loss is selected and the deviation is achieved. The fluctuation pattern is determined from PA1-3 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), and PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach loss) using the fluctuation pattern determination table C. do.

If the variable display result is "off" in the time saving state (high base state), the out-of-order variation pattern determination table D is selected, and the out-of-order variation pattern determination table D is used to set the variation pattern to PA1-4. It is determined from (non-reach out-of-time shortening fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-time fluctuation pattern), and PA2-2 (super reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern).

That is, when the variable display result is "missing" in the feature unit 162SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of reserved storages of the variable special figure is 3 or 4, or the time is shortened. Since the variable display time is shorter than the normal non-reach deviation pattern (PA1-1), the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening variation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4). It is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit while preventing the game from being delayed.

Next, the relationship between the fluctuation pattern and the ball ejection state will be described with reference to FIGS. 284-8. The ball ejection state flag in FIG. 284-8 is a flag updated by the ball ejection state determination process shown in FIG. 284-13, which will be described later. It is a flag that "1" is set when the ball is in a high ball ejection state and "2" is set when the ball is in the second high ball ejection state. It is possible to specify whether the state is a low ball ejection state, a first high ball ejection state, or a second high ball ejection state.

The variable display time of each variation pattern corresponding to the low ball ejection state in which "0" is set in the ball ejection status flag is the same as the variable display time of each variation pattern shown in FIG. 284-6, and the ball ejection status flag is set to "0". The variable display time corresponding to the case where "0" is set in the state flag is not extended, but the variable pattern corresponding to the first high ball ejection state in which "1" is set in the payout status flag is variable. As for the display time, the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern of the non-reach loss (PA1-1 to PA1-4), which appears frequently, corresponds to "0" in the ball ejection status flag, and the non-reach loss (PA1-1 to PA1-). 4) When the variable display time longer than the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern is set and extended, and "1" is set in the ball ejection status flag, these extended variable display times are not set. By executing the variable display out of reach, the average variable display time becomes longer.

In addition, the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the second high ball ejection state in which "2" is set in the ball ejection state flag is non-reach off (PA1-1 to PA1-4) and normal reach, which frequently appear. The variable display time of the fluctuation pattern of the miss (PA2-1) and the normal reach jackpot (PB1-1) corresponds to the "1" in the ball ejection status flag, and the non-reach miss (PA1-1 to PA1-4) and the normal reach miss ( PA2-1) and the variable display time that is longer than the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern of the normal reach jackpot are set and extended, and if "2" is set in the ball ejection status flag, these are extended. By executing the variable display of the non-reach deviation, the normal reach deviation, and the normal reach jackpot of the variable display time, the average variable display time is further lengthened.

The extended variable display time is 1 second in the first high ball ejection state in which the ball ejection state flag is "1" for the non-reach PA1-1 which is a non-shortened fluctuation pattern, and the ball ejection state flag is "1". In the second high ball ejection state where the status flag is "2", it is 1.5 seconds, and for the non-reach PA1-2 to non-reach PA1-4 which are the fluctuation patterns of shortening, the ball ejection status flag is "1". It is 0.5 seconds in the first high ball ejection state, and 1.0 second in the second high ball ejection state where the ball ejection state flag is "2", which is a variation pattern of reach PA2. Regarding -1 and PB1-1, it is 0 seconds in the first high ball ejection state where the ball ejection state flag is "1", and in the second high ball ejection state where the ball ejection state flag is "2". 5 seconds.

The length of the variable display time to be extended shown in FIG. 284-8 is an example, and an extension different from these lengths may be performed. For example, in the second high ball ejection state, the extension may be longer than the extension in the first high ball ejection state.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 284-8, the fluctuation pattern of the non-reach outlier, which is frequently executed due to the high determination rate, and the fluctuation pattern of the normal reach, which is frequently executed as compared with the super reach, are extended. The average variable display time can be efficiently lengthened, and the data capacity of the reach and super reach fluctuation patterns, which have a large amount of data related to the effect due to the long variable display time, can be stored by storing multiple data by extending the variable display time. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, "1 second" is set as a predetermined extension time for all fluctuation patterns. It may be uniformly added to the variable display time and extended, and for these extended periods, a common effect using common effect data in each variation pattern may be executed.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 284-8, in the first high ball ejection state where the ball ejection state flag is "1", only the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern is extended, and the ball ejection state flag is "2". In the second high ball output state, the average variable display time is further increased by increasing the variation pattern to be extended so that the reach fluctuation pattern is also extended when a certain second high ball output state is reached. Although it is possible to extend efficiently, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, regarding a fluctuation pattern in which the payout state flag is extended at "1" even when the payout state flag is "2". It may be possible to prevent the control load related to the extension from being excessively increased by further extending the ball so that the fluctuation pattern of the object to be extended does not change according to the ball ejection state. ..

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 284-8, not only the fluctuation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4 corresponding to the time saving state (high base state), which is the gaming state in which the variable display is executed during the consecutive villa period, but also the fluctuation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4 will be described later. As described above, these consecutive villa periods (advantageous period) have ended so that even if a big hit occurs again with a small number of variable display times after the consecutive villa period (advantageous period) ends and is controlled to the normal state. The present invention exemplifies a form in which the variation patterns of the non-reach PA1-1 to the non-reach PA1-3 corresponding to the normal state are also extended so that the variable display in the normal state at the time of the normal state can be extended. The present invention is not limited to this, and the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4 corresponding to the time saving state (high base state), which is the gaming state in which the variable display is executed during the consecutive villa period, may be extended. ..

The RAM 102 in the feature unit 162SG is a game control data holding area 162SG150 as shown in FIG. 284-9, for example, as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001. Is provided.

In the first special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151A, a game ball passes (enters) through the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A, and a starting prize (first starting winning) is generated, but the special starting prize has not been started yet. The reserved data of the figure game (the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151A associates the holding number with the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) to the first starting winning opening, and determines the first starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball. Hold data such as random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, and random number value MR3 for variable pattern determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the establishment. As the number of stored data reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"), the data is stored. The hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit 162SG151A in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is held, and the variable display result (special figure display) in this special figure game. It is pending information that makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a big hit based on the result).

The second special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151B has not been started yet, although the game ball has passed (entered) through the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B and the starting winning (second starting winning) has occurred. The reserved data of the special figure game (the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151B associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the second starting winning opening with the holding number, and determines the second starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball. Hold data such as random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, and random number value MR3 for variable pattern determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the establishment. As the number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4"), the data is stored. The hold data stored in the second special figure hold storage unit 162SG151B in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is held, and the variable display result (special figure display) in this special figure game. It is pending information that makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a big hit based on the result).

It should be noted that the hold information (first hold information) based on the establishment of the first start condition due to the game ball passing (entering) through the first start winning opening and the game ball passing (entering) through the second start winning opening. The hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start winning prize may be stored in association with the hold number in the common hold storage unit. In this case, the start opening data indicating which of the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening the game ball has passed (entered) may be included in the hold information and stored in association with the hold number. ..

The normal figure hold storage unit 162SG151C stores the hold information of the normal figure game that has not yet been started by the normal symbol display 20 even though the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21. For example, the normal map holding storage unit 162SG151C associates with the hold number in the order in which the game balls pass through the passage gate 41, and determines the normal figure display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the passage of the game balls. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 for use is stored as reserved data until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”).

Numerical data indicating each random number value is updated periodically or irregularly. The software executed by the CPU 103 to update the random count value may be for updating the random count value separately from the operation of updating the numerical data in the random number circuit 104, or may be extracted from the random number circuit 104. It may be for updating the random count value by performing a predetermined process such as scramble processing or arithmetic processing on all or a part of the numerical data.

The game control buffer setting unit 162SG155 is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001. For example, the game control buffer setting unit 162SG155 stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

The RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 284-1 has an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation, for example, for effect control as shown in FIG. 284-10 (A). A data holding area 162SG190 is provided. The effect control data holding area 162SG190 shown in FIG. 284-10 (A) includes an effect control flag setting unit 162SG191, an effect control timer setting unit 162SG192, an effect control counter setting unit 162SG193, and an effect control buffer setting unit 162SG194.

For example, the effect control buffer setting unit 162SG194 stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

In the feature unit 162SG, the data constituting the start winning reception command buffer 162SG194A as shown in FIG. 284-10 (B) is stored in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting unit 162SG194. In the start winning command receive command buffer 162SG194A, the storage area (buffer numbers "1-1" to "1-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages of the first special figure reserved storage is stored. A corresponding area) and a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “1-0”) corresponding to the first special figure during variable display are provided. Further, the start winning command buffer 162SG194A has a storage area (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the second special figure reserved storage. A storage area corresponding to the second special figure during variable display (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) is provided. When there is a start winning to the 1st start winning opening or the 2nd starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (1st starting opening winning designation command or the 2nd starting opening winning designation command), the symbol designation command, the variable category designation Four commands, a command and a hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command), are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command receive command buffer 162SG194A are the start opening winning designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category designation command, and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold storage. A storage area (entry) for storing the first special figure hold storage and the second special figure hold storage separately is secured in association with the hold storage number notification command.

The stored contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1" or buffer number "2-1") is started. The stored contents of the buffer number "1-0" or the buffer number "2-0" for storing the contents of the reserved storage for which the start condition is satisfied are displayed in a variable manner. It is set to be cleared in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the process is finished.

Further, in the start winning command buffer 162SG194A of the feature unit 162SG, whether or not the determination of the display pattern accompanying the determination of whether or not the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed in the pre-reading advance notice setting process (FIG. 282) is undecided. That is, the display pattern is undecided because the start opening prize designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category designation command, and the hold storage number notification command are newly stored due to the occurrence of a new start prize. The display undecided flag indicating the above, the hold display flag in which the flag value corresponding to the display pattern (display mode) of the hold storage display is set, and the hold display flag corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the second special figure hold storage, respectively. A storage area is secured for each storage area (entry) so that it can be stored in association with the buffer number.

Further, in the start winning command buffer 162SG194A of the feature unit 162SG, a storage area can be stored so that the effect restriction flag can be stored in association with each buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the second special figure hold storage. Is secured for each storage area (entry). In the command analysis process (FIG. 284-22), the effect restriction flag is a symbol designation command, a variable category designation command, and a hold storage number, although a start prize has occurred at the first start winning opening or the second starting winning opening. If the notification command is not received within the first hold storage number notification waiting time or the second hold storage number notification waiting time, which will be described later, this is a flag indicating that the entry is not the target of the pre-reading notice effect.

In the hold display flag, "0" corresponding to the display pattern of the normal hold storage display is stored when the execution of the look-ahead notice effect is not determined in the look-ahead notice setting process described later. As a result, the hold storage display in the normal display mode (for example, white circle) is displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U provided at the lower part of the image display device 5, and the first is displayed. When it is decided to execute the reading notice effect, "1" (square) corresponding to the display pattern of the hold storage display in a special mode (for example, square (◇) or star (☆)) different from the normal display mode. (◇))) or "2" (star (☆)) is set, so that the reserved storage display in a special mode different from the normal display mode is the first reserved storage display area 5D and the second reserved storage display area 5U. In the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display, it is foretold that there is a high possibility of a big hit or a super reach.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the command at the time of the start winning to the first start winning opening from the beginning (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 162SG194A. Then, at the time of the start winning to the second start winning opening, the command is stored from the beginning (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the second special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 162SG194A. go. At the time of the start winning, the start opening prize designation command to the hold storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, the start opening prize designation command is placed in the storage area corresponding to each of the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage or the second special figure hold storage. , The symbol specification command, the variable category specification command, and the hold storage count notification command are stored in this order.

The command stored in the start winning command buffer 162SG194A shown in FIG. 284-10 (B) is an entry (buffer) corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display that was terminated immediately before each time the variable display of the decorative symbol was started. The entry stored in the number "1-0" or "2-0") is deleted, and the entry corresponding to the pending storage of the variable display to be started (buffer number "1-1" or "2") is deleted. The storage contents of the entries stored in the entry corresponding to -1 ”) and the entries after the hold storage of the variable display to be started are shifted. For example, when the variable display of the decorative symbol of the first special figure hold storage is completed in the stored state shown in FIG. 284-10 (B), each command stored in the buffer number "0" is deleted, and the buffer number is deleted. Each command stored in "1" is shifted to the buffer number "0", and each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer number "2" is moved to the area corresponding to the buffer number "1". Each command that has been shifted and stored in the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "3" and "4" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "2" and "3". Therefore, the buffer number "0" is an area (entry) for storing each command related to the hold storage that is variably displayed at that time.

Next, the game control main process of the feature unit 162SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 284-11. As shown in FIGS. 284-11, the game control main process of the feature unit 162SG also executes almost the same process as the game control main process in the basic configuration of FIG. 277, but features of the game control main process of the feature unit 162SG. The reason is that the contents of the recovery process of S4 are different, and the process of step S6b relating to the initial setting of the ball ejection state flag is added in addition to the initialization process of step S6a.

In the restoration process of step S4 of the game control main process of the feature unit 162SG, a process of restoring the ball ejection state flag to the state before the power failure is executed. As will be described later, in the power interruption process of step S19 in the game control timer interrupt processing of the feature unit 162SG shown in FIG. 284-12, the backup data stored when the power failure occurs includes the power failure occurrence. The data of the flag value of the ball ejection state flag at the time is included.

As a specific recovery status of the ball ejection status flag, when the value of the ball ejection status flag is "0" corresponding to the low ball ejection state when a power failure occurs, the ball ejection status flag is set to "0" by the recovery process. Is set, and when the value of the ball ejection status flag is "1" corresponding to the first ball ejection state when a power failure occurs, "1" is set in the ball ejection status flag by the recovery process, and when a power failure occurs. When the value of the ball ejection state flag is "2" corresponding to the second ball ejection state, "2" is set in the ball ejection status flag by the recovery process. That is, by the restoration process of S4, the value before the occurrence of the power failure is set in the value of the ball ejection state flag, and the ball ejection state before the power failure is restored.

The backup data described above also includes data on the number of consecutive villas after determination and the remaining number of variable display after determination, which will be described later, and the data on the number of consecutive villas after determination and the remaining number of variable display after determination are also in S4. It is restored to the data at the time of power failure by the restoration process.

In this way, the recovery process in step S4 restores the value of the ball ejection status flag to the value before the occurrence of the power failure, and also restores the data of the number of consecutive villas after the determination and the remaining number of variable displays after the determination. Even if an electric power failure occurs in the first ball ejection state or the second ball ejection state in which the ball ejection speed is adjusted, the adjustment of the ball ejection speed is not completed by the electric power failure, and after the electric power failure is restored. Will continue.

On the other hand, since the recovery condition is not satisfied in step S3, the initialization process of step S6a is executed, and the initial setting (including the initialization of various game data such as the number of consecutive villas) at the time of turning on the power is executed. Later, the ball ejection state flag is set to "0", which is a value corresponding to the low ball ejection state, which is the initial value when the power is turned on. In this way, when the power is turned on (when the power supply is started other than the power supply recovery) when the power failure recovery condition is not satisfied, "0", which is a value corresponding to the low ball output state, is set in the ball output state flag. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the ball ejection speed from being improperly adjusted when the power is turned on.

Next, the game control timer interrupt processing of the feature unit 162SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 284-12. The game control timer interrupt process of the feature unit 162SG executes each process of steps S21 to S27 in the same manner as the game control timer interrupt process of FIG. 278 in the basic configuration. In addition to these processes, the basic configuration The difference is that the power cutoff process in step S19, which was omitted in the above, and the ball ejection state determination process, which is a feature point of the game control timer interrupt process of the feature unit 162SG, are provided.

In the power cutoff process in step S19, it is detected whether or not the power supply cutoff signal is output from the power supply board 17 (whether or not it is turned on). The power supply cutoff signal is a signal output when, for example, the power supply monitoring circuit mounted on the power supply board 17 detects a drop in the voltage of the supplied power supply. When it is detected that a power cutoff signal has been output, as described above, the above-mentioned ball ejection state flag and the like necessary for restoring the state of the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001 to the state at the time of power failure are included. Each game data is stored as backup data in the RAM 102, which is a backup RAM for game control. If it is not detected that the power cutoff signal has been output, the power cutoff process is terminated. Then, after executing the ball ejection state determination process in step S20, each process of steps S21 to S27 is executed.

Here, the ball ejection state determination process in step S20 of the feature unit 162SG will be described with reference to FIG. 284-13 (a). FIG. 284-13 (a) is a flow chart showing an example of the processing content of the ball ejection state determination process in step S20.

In the ball ejection state determination process, the game control microcomputer 100 first determines whether or not the value of the ball ejection state flag is "0", that is, whether the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state or the first high ball ejection state. It is determined whether it is in a state or a second high ball output state (step 162SGS01).

When the value of the ball ejection state flag is "0" (step 162SGS01; Y), the number of consecutive villas stored in the game control data holding area 162SG150 of the RAM 102 is "5" or more, which is the first determination number. It is determined whether or not there is (step 162SGS02). When the number of times of the first determination is not "5" or more, that is, when the villa is not in the villa state or when the number of villas is less than 5 even in the villa state (step 162SGS02; N). Ends the ball ejection status determination process. On the other hand, when the number of consecutive villas is "5" or more, which is the first determination number (step 162SGS02; Y), it is further determined whether or not the number of consecutive villas is "10" or more, which is the second determination number. Determination (step 162SGS03).

When the number of consecutive villas is not "10" or more, which is the number of second determinations (step 162SGS03; N), that is, when the number of consecutive villas reaches "5", which is the number of first determinations, the first ball is ejected. It is determined that the flag has been ejected, and "1" corresponding to the first ejected state is set (step 162SGS06), and the first stage adjustment is started as shown in FIG. 284-13 (b) (step 162SGS07). ). Since the update of the number of consecutive villas is updated in the jackpot end process as described later, the fifth jackpot of the number of consecutive villas is a jackpot in which the jackpot period extension adjustment of the first stage is not executed, and the first stage The jackpot period extension adjustment is executed for the 6th to 10th jackpots of consecutive villas.

As shown in FIG. 284-21, the jackpot period extension adjustment is the fanfare production period at the start of the jackpot state, which is the period during which the special variable winning ball device 7 constituting the jackpot is not open, and the round game ends. The interval period from the start of the next round game to the start of the next round game, and the ending effect period at the end of the big hit state are extended from the low ball output state in which "0" is set in the ball output state flag, so that the same number of game balls are played. By extending the period of the jackpot game to be paid out, the number of game balls to be paid out in a unit time will be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 284-21, the extension lengths of the fanfare production period, the interval period, and the ending production period are higher than those in the first high ball ejection state in which the ball ejection state flag is set to "1". The second high ball ejection state in which "2" is set in the ball status flag is set longer, and the jackpot period extension adjustment in the first high ball ejection state in which "1" is set in the ball ejection status flag is set. , The extension length is relatively short in the first stage jackpot period extension adjustment, and the second high ball ejection state jackpot period extension adjustment in which "2" is set in the ball ejection status flag has a relatively extended length. It is a long second stage jackpot period extension adjustment.

Then, the lighting of the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 is started, the notification that the high ball ejection state has been reached is started (step 162SGS08), and the variable display number of times after the determination of the high ball ejection state is determined is a predetermined number of times. The variable display remaining number after judgment (100) for specifying the remaining number of times until 100 times is set, and the number of consecutive villa big hits that occurred after it was judged to be in a high ball output state. After setting the initial value "0" for the number of villas (step 162SGS09), the process proceeds to step 162SGS17. Although the feature unit 162SG exemplifies a form in which a predetermined number of times is 100 times, the present invention is not limited to this, and these times depend on specifications such as a big hit probability and a big hit continuation rate. It may be changed as appropriate.

On the other hand, when the number of consecutive villas is "10" or more, which is the number of second determinations (step 162SGS03; Y), that is, when the number of consecutive villas reaches "10", which is the number of second determinations, the second ball is released. It was determined that the state was reached, "2" corresponding to the second ball ejection state was set in the ball ejection status flag (step 162SGS04), and the adjustment of the second stage was started as shown in FIG. 284-13 (b). After that (step 162SGS05), the process proceeds to step 162SGS17. Since the update of the number of consecutive villas is updated in the jackpot end process as described later, the second stage jackpot period extension adjustment is executed for the jackpot after the 11th consecutive villa count.

Further, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is not "0" (step 162SGS01; N), whether or not the number of consecutive villas after the determination is 10 or more, which is the number of end determinations for ending the adjustment. That is, it is determined whether or not the number of consecutive villas after the determination has reached 10 times, which is the number of end determinations (step 162SGS10). The feature unit 162SG exemplifies a form in which the number of end determinations is 10 times, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these times are specified in specifications such as a jackpot probability and a jackpot continuation rate. It may be changed as appropriate.

When the number of consecutive villas after the determination is 10 or more, which is the number of end determinations (step 162SGS10; N), that is, after the number of consecutive villas is 5 or more and it is determined that the number of consecutive villas is high, the consecutive villa state is changed. When the number of consecutive villa jackpots that occur without ending reaches 10 times, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is in the low base state, that is, whether or not the consecutive villa state is finished. (Step 162SGS11), if the gaming state is the low base state (step 162SGS11; Y), the process proceeds to step 162SGS13. The number of consecutive villas is reset when the consecutive villa state ends and the low base state is reached.

On the other hand, when the number of consecutive villas after determination is not 10 times or more which is the number of end determinations (step 162SGS10; N), or when the number of consecutive villas after determination is 10 times or more which is the number of end determinations (step 162SGS10; Y). When the gaming state is not the low base state (step 162SGS11; N), it is further determined whether or not the number of remaining variable display after determination set in step 162SGS09 is "0" (step 162SGS12).

When the remaining number of variable display after determination is not "0" (step 162SGS12; N), that is, after the number of consecutive villas is 5 or more and it is determined that the ball is in a high ball output state, the variable display is 100 times, which is a predetermined number. If is not executed, the ball ejection state determination process is terminated.

When the remaining number of variable displays after the determination is "0" (step 162SGS12; Y), that is, when the variable display of 100 times, which is a predetermined number of times, is executed after the determination of the high ball output state is executed. Step 162 Proceed to SGS13.

In step 162SGS13, by updating the ball ejection status flag to "0", after the adjustment of the first stage or the second stage described above is completed (step 162SGS14), the lighting of the high ball ejection status notification LED 162SG071 is terminated. After the notification that the adjustment is being performed in the high ball output state is completed (step 162SGS15), the variable display remaining number after the judgment and the number of consecutive villas after the judgment are reset (step 162SGS16), and the process proceeds to step 162SGS17. ..

In step 162SGS17, after executing the transmission setting of the payout state specification command corresponding to the value of the payout state flag set in any of the steps of step 162SGS04, step 162SGS06, and step 162SGS13, the payout state determination is performed. End the process. The ball ejection state designation command set to be transmitted in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 278.

As described above, by executing the ball ejection state determination process shown in FIG. 284-13 (a), the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to the time when the power supply is started, as shown in FIG. 284-13 (b). Similarly, when it is "0", neither the variable display time extension adjustment for extending the variable display time nor the jackpot period extension adjustment for extending the jackpot game period is executed, but the first ball ejection state determination process is performed. When the value of the ball ejection state flag is updated to "1" by determining that the ball ejection state is high, the variable display time is extended to the length of the first stage. The variable display time extension of the first stage is extended. Both the adjustment and the first stage jackpot period extension adjustment, in which the duration of the jackpot game is extended to the length of the first stage, are performed. Further, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is updated to "2" by determining the second high ball ejection state in the ball ejection state determination process, the variable display time is longer than that of the first stage. Both the second stage variable display time extension adjustment that is extended to the stage length and the second stage jackpot period extension adjustment that the jackpot game period is extended to the second stage length longer than the first stage It is executed, and it is notified by lighting of the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 that these adjustments are being executed.

Further, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1" or "2", the number of consecutive villas after the determination reaches the end determination number, or the variable display remaining number after the determination becomes 0 (ball ejection status flag). When the variable display is executed 100 times after the value of is set to "1" or "2"), the value of the ball ejection status flag is updated to "0", and the variable display time extension adjustment and the jackpot period The extension adjustment is completed.

Further, the feature unit 162SG exemplifies a mode in which the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 is turned on from the timing when the value of the ball ejection state flag is updated from "0" to "1". The high ball ejection status notification LED 162SG071 is not limited, and is not turned on from the timing when the value of the ball ejection status flag is updated from "0" to "1" during a normal game, and the ball ejection status flag is set. When a power failure occurs while the value is set to "1" or "2", the light may be turned on only for a certain period from the time of recovery from the power failure.

Further, in the present feature unit 162SG, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1" or "2", both the variable display time extension adjustment and the jackpot period extension adjustment are executed. The invention is not limited to this, and when the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1" or "2", only one of the variable display time extension adjustment and the jackpot period extension adjustment may be executed. Furthermore, when the value of the ball ejection status flag is "1", only one of the variable display time extension adjustment and the jackpot period extension adjustment is executed, and the ball ejection status flag value is "2". In some cases, both the variable display time extension adjustment and the jackpot period extension adjustment may be executed.

Further, in the feature unit 162SG, as shown in FIG. 284-13 (a), the CPU 103 transmits a ball ejection state designation command to the effect control board 12 only when the value of the ball ejection state flag changes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the CPU 103 always issues a ball ejection state designation command every time the ball ejection state determination process is executed or every time the variable display is executed. It may be sent to. Further, in the feature unit 162SG, an embodiment in which a ball ejection state designation command is provided as a part of the effect control command is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and instead of these ball ejection state designation commands. , A game state designation command corresponding to each ball ejection state (low ball ejection state, first high ball ejection state, second high ball ejection state) may be provided.

Next, the start winning determination process of the feature unit 162SG executed in step S101 of FIG. 279 will be described with reference to FIGS. 284-14. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting port switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether or not it is in a state (step 162SGS101). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is in the ON state (step 162SGS101; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the first special figure, is the predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 162SGS102). The CPU 103 may specify the first special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the first reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 162SG154. When the first special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step 162SGS102 (step 162SGS102; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 162SG155 is set to "1" (step 162SGS102; N). Step 162 SGS103).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step 162SGS101 (step 162SGS101; N) or when the first special figure reserved storage number reaches the upper limit value in step 162SGS102 (step 162SGS102; Y). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is in the ON state ( Step 162 SGS104). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is in the ON state (step 162SGS104; Y), the second special figure reserved storage number, which is the reserved storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 162SGS105). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the second reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 162SG154. When the second special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step 162SGS105 (step 162SGS105; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 162SG155 is set to "2" (step 162SGS105; N). Step 162 SGS106).

After executing any of the processes of step 162SGS103 and step 162SGS106, the number of special figure hold storage corresponding to the start port buffer value, which is the storage value of the start port buffer, is updated to be added by 1 (step 162SGS107). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first hold storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the second hold storage count value is added by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of reserved storages is also updated to be added by 1 (step 162SGS108). For example, the total reserved storage count value, which is the stored value of the total reserved storage counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 162SG154, may be updated so as to be incremented by 1.

After executing the process of step 162SGS108, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determination from the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random number of the game control counter setting unit 162SG154. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for the purpose and the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (step 162SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random value extracted in this way is stored by being set as hold information at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step 162SGS110). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151A, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the start port buffer value is "2". Numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151B.

Numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type determine whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is "big hit", and further, the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step 162SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for determining the variable display result including the variable display result of the special symbol and the decorative symbol and the variable display time.

Following the process of step 162SGS110, the transmission setting of the start opening winning designation command according to the start opening buffer value is performed (step 162SGS111). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. 12 is set to send the first start opening winning designation command. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 can be used. The setting for sending the second start opening prize designation command is made. The start port winning designation command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 278 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

Following the process of step 162SGS111, the winning random number value determination process is executed (step 162SGS112). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the hold storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12. (Step 162 SGS113). The hold storage number notification command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 278 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

After executing the process of step 162SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start port buffer value is "1" (step 162SGS114). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step 162SGS114; Y), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 162SGS115), and then the process of step 162SGS104 is performed. move on. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (step 162SGS114; N), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 162SGS116), and then the start prize is won. End the process. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B detect a valid start prize for the game ball at the same time, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be surely completed.

FIG. 284-15 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 162SGS112 of FIG. 284-14 as the winning random number value determination process. When the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started in the feature unit 162SG, the special symbol display result (variable display of the special symbol) is performed by the special symbol normal processing (step S110 in FIG. 279, FIG. 284-16) described later. The result) is regarded as a "big hit", and it is determined whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. Further, in the variation pattern setting process (step S111 in FIG. 279, FIG. 284-17) described later, the determination of the variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is performed. On the other hand, apart from these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination processing in step 162SGS112 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). As a result, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of displaying the special symbol, and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined display mode accompanied by super reach. As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the start winning opening is started, that is, whether or not to make a big hit at the start of the variable display is determined. Before, it is determined whether the special figure display result is a "big hit" or the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the variable display mode of which category, and based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 120 or the like determines. , As will be described later, advance notice effects such as pre-reading advance notice effects will be executed.

In the winning random number value determination process shown in FIG. 284-15 (A), the game control microcomputer 100 (CPU103) first determines the state of the time saving flag and the probability change flag provided in, for example, the game control flag setting unit 162SG152. By confirming or the like, the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 162SG001 is specified (step 162SGS121). The CPU 103 identifies that it is in the probabilistic state when the probabilistic flag is on, identifies that it is in the probabilistic state when the probabilistic flag is off and the time saving flag is on, and both the probabilistic flag and the time saving flag are in the time saving state. When it is off, it may be specified that it is in the normal state.

Following the processing of step 162SGS121, the display result determination table 1 shown in FIG. 284-4 is selected and set (step 162SGS122). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 162SGS109 of FIG. 284-14 is within the predetermined jackpot determination range (step 162SGS123). In the jackpot determination range, individual determination values assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" in the display result determination table 1 selected by the process of step 162SGS 122 are set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and each determination value. It suffices if it can be determined whether or not there is a determination value that matches the random number value MR1 by comparing the above one by one. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the judgment value included in the big hit judgment range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and the minimum value or the maximum value of the big hit judgment range. By comparing, it suffices if it can be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range. At this time, by determining that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the reserved data including the random number value MR1 is determined as "big hit".

When it is determined in step 162SGS123 that the jackpot is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is not achieved in the variable display (step 162SGS123; N), the display result determination table 2 shown in FIG. 284-4 is displayed. Select and set (step 162SGS124). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 162SGS109 of FIG. 284-14 is within the predetermined small hit determination range (step 162SGS125).

When the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is within the predetermined small hit determination range, that is, when it is determined to be a small hit in the variable display (step 162SGS125; Y), the variable display result is "small hit". The transmission setting of the sixth symbol designation command, which is the symbol designation command corresponding to the above, is executed (step 162SGS126), the variation pattern determination table for special hits is selected and set (step 162SGS127), and the process proceeds to step 162SGS138. ..

If the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is not within the predetermined small hit judgment range, that is, if the variable display result is "missing" in the variable display, the symbol corresponding to the variable display result being "missing". The transmission setting of the first symbol designation command, which is a designated command, is executed (step 162SGS128), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is on, that is, whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state (step). 162SGS129). When the time reduction flag is off (step 162SGS129; N), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set, and when the time reduction flag is on (step 162SGS129; Y), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set. Table D is selected and set (step 162SGS131). The deviation pattern determination table A is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the number of reserved storages is 2 or less. Further, the deviation pattern determination table D is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the gaming state is a high base state in which the time saving control is executed.

In this feature unit 162SG, in addition to the deviation pattern determination table A and the deviation variation pattern determination table D, the deviation pattern determination table B used when the number of reserved storages is three , The deviation pattern determination table C used when the number of reserved storages is 4, is prepared in advance. However, as shown in FIG. 284-7, these are out of the deviation pattern determination tables A to C. In the deviation pattern determination table A, 600 determination values from 0 to 599 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. In the variation pattern determination tables B and C, a value exceeding 0 to A is assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take. On the other hand, in the deviation pattern determination tables A to C, 97 small determination values from 901 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach within the range that the random number value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. ..

Therefore, by determining the variation pattern using the deviation pattern determination table A in step 162SGS126, the determination of non-reach and super reach is always non-reach or super reach even if the reserved storage number changes after the determination. Therefore, in the determination at the time of starting winning, the variation pattern determination table A for loss is used for determination.

Further, when it is determined in step 162SGS123 that the jackpot is within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined to be a jackpot during variable display (step 162SGS123; Y), as shown in FIG. 284-15 (A). , The jackpot type is determined based on the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type (step 162SGS132). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the jackpot type determination table data from the table data that constitutes the jackpot type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

In addition, a symbol designation command according to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot A, a third symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot B, and a probability variation jackpot C. Executes the transmission setting of the 4th symbol designation command, and if it is a non-variable jackpot, the transmission setting of the 5th symbol designation command (step 162SGS133), and then determines whether or not the determined jackpot type is a non-variable jackpot. (Step 162 SGS134a). When the determined jackpot type is a non-probability variation jackpot (step 162SGS134a; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected and set as a table for determining the jackpot variation pattern (step 162SGS135), and the step is performed. Proceed to 162SGS138.

Further, when the determined jackpot type is not a non-probability change jackpot (step 162SGS134a; N), it is further determined whether or not the determined jackpot type is a probability variation jackpot A or a probability variation jackpot B (step 162SGS134b).

When the determined jackpot type is probability variation jackpot A or probability variation jackpot B (step 162SGS134b; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected and set as a table for determining the jackpot variation pattern (step). 162SGS136), the process proceeds to step 162SGS138.

When the determined jackpot type is not the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B (step 162SGS134b; N), that is, when the determined jackpot type is the probability variation jackpot C, the special hit variation pattern determination table is selected and set. (Step 162SGS137), and the process proceeds to step 162SGS138.

After executing any of the processes of step 162SGS127, step 162SGS130, step 162SGS131, step 162SGS135, step 162SGS136, and step 162SGS137, each fluctuation pattern determination table set in each of these steps and the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination are executed. (Step 162SGS138), the variation category according to the range of the determination value including the random number value MR3 is determined by using the numerical data indicating the above. In this feature unit 162SG, as shown in FIG. 284-15 (B), when at least the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode is "non-reach" in common regardless of the total number of reserved storages. There are a variable category, a variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", and a variable category that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach). It suffices if it can be determined whether or not such a fluctuation category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

After that, the setting for transmitting the variable category designation command according to the determination result by the process of step 162SGS138 to the effect control board 12 is made (step 162SGS132), and then the winning random number value determination process is terminated.

FIG. 284-16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S110 of FIG. 279 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal processing shown in FIGS. 284-16, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special figure reserved storage number is “0” (step 162SGS141). 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 162SGS141, the second reserved storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting unit 162SG154 may be read out, 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 162SGS141 (step 162SGS141; N), the hold stored in the second special figure hold storage unit 162SG151B corresponding to the hold number "1". As the data, numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are read out (step 162SGS142). 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 162 SGS142, the second special figure holding memory 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 of the second special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151B is updated as well as being updated. Specifically, the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the second special figure hold storage unit 162SG151B are stored. The indicated pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 162SGS143).

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 162SGS144), the process proceeds to step 162SGS149.

On the other hand, when the second special figure reserved storage number is "0" in step 162SGS141 (step 162SGS141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure reserved storage number is "0" (step 162SGS145). .. 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 162SGS145, the game control counter setting unit 162SG154 reads the first hold storage number count value stored in the first hold storage number counter, and determines whether or not the read value is "0". Just do it. As described above, the process of step 162SGS145 is executed when it is determined in step 162SGS141 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 162SGS145 (step 162SGS145; N), the hold stored in the first special figure hold storage unit 162SG151A corresponding to the hold number "1". As the data, numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are read out (step 162SGS146). The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Step 162 Following the processing of SGS146, 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 of the first special figure reservation storage unit 162SG151A is updated. Specifically, the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the first special figure hold storage unit 162SG151A are stored. The indicated pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 162SGS147).

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 162SGS148), the process proceeds to step 162SGS149.

In step 162 SGS149, the display result determination table 1 shown in FIG. 284-4 is used as a table for determining whether the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, is "big hit" or "missing". Select and set. Subsequently, 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 162SGS150a). In this step 162SGS150a, 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 10000 to 12180, it is determined to be a "big hit", and if it is not applicable, it is determined to be "missing". If the probability variation flag is off and the probability change state is low, if the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result falls within the range of 1 to 219, it is determined to be a "big hit", and if not, it is determined to be "missing". judge.

As described above, in the display result determination table 1 selected in step 162SGS149, different determination values are assigned to the "big hit" according to the game state (high probability, low probability) at that time, and thus the step. In the processing of 162SGS150a, the special figure display result is "" using different judgment 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 high probability state. By determining whether or not to make a "big hit", when the gaming state is in a high probability state, it is determined (determined) to be a "big hit" with a higher probability than in the case of a low probability state.

When it is determined in step 162SGS150a that it is a "big hit" (step 162SGS150a; Y), the big hit flag is turned on in the game control flag setting unit 162SG152 (step 162SGS152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 284-5 (A) is selected and set as a table to be used for determining the jackpot type to one of a plurality of types (step 162SGS153). 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 is to 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 162SGS154). ).

By determining the jackpot type in the process of step 162SGS154, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state is set to either a time-saving state or a probabilistic state in which the player has a higher advantage than the time-saving state. It will be decided before the definite special symbol as a 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 162SG155 (step 162SGS155), the determined jackpot type 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".

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 162SGS150a that it is not a "big hit" (step 162SGS150a; N), the process proceeds to S150b, and the display result determination table 2 shown in FIG. 284-4 is selected and set. Subsequently, 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 "small hit", and the special figure is compared. It is determined whether or not the display result is a "small hit" (step 162SGS150c). In step 162SGS150c, when the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure, it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is "small hit" by using the determination value corresponding to the first special figure. When the variable special figure is the second special figure, it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is "small hit" by using the determination value corresponding to the second special figure.

When it is determined in step 162SGS150c that the special figure display result is "small hit" (step 162SGS150c; Y), the small hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 162SG152 is turned on (step 162SGS151).

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step 162SGS150c that the special figure display result is "small hit" (step 162SGS150c; N), the process proceeds to step 162SGS156.

In step 162 SGS156, as a result of the preliminary determination of whether or not to control the big hit gaming state (whether or not the big hit flag is turned on), whether or not to control the small hit gaming state (the small hit flag is turned on). A definite special symbol is set according to the pre-determined result of (whether or not it is done) and the determination result of the jackpot type in the case of the jackpot gaming state. 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 162SGS150a that the special figure display result is "big hit", when the big hit type in step 162SGS154 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. Further, in response to the pre-determined result that the special symbol display result is "small hit", the special symbol indicating the symbol "2" which is the small hit symbol 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 162SGS156, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" which is a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern setting process (step 162SGS157), and then the special symbol normal processing is terminated. ..

If the reserved memory number of the special figure game using the first special figure is "0" in step 162SGS145 (step 162SGS145; Y), after performing the predetermined demo display setting (step 162SGS158), 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. 284-17 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 279 as the variation pattern setting process. In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIGS. 284-17, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 162SGS161). Then, if the jackpot flag is turned on (step 162SGS161; Y), the jackpot type is specified from the jackpot type buffer value (step 162SGS162).

Then, it is determined whether or not the specified jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot C" (step 162SGS163), and if it is not "probability variation jackpot C", that is, "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "non-probability variation jackpot C". In the case of either "probability variation jackpot" (step 162SGS163; N), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A or the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected and set according to the specified jackpot type. Specifically, when the specified jackpot type is "non-probability change jackpot", the fluctuation pattern determination table A for jackpot is selected and set, and the specified jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot A" or "probability variation jackpot B". , The jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected and set.

On the other hand, when the specified jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot C" (step 162SGS163; Y), the special hit variation pattern determination table is selected and set (step 162SGS165).

In the determination in step 162SGS161, if the big hit flag is not turned on (step 162SGS161; N), it is further determined whether or not the small hit flag is turned on (step 162SGS166). When the small hit flag is turned on (step 162SGS166; Y), the special hit variation pattern determination table is selected and set (step 162SGS167), and the process proceeds to step 162SGS175.

On the other hand, when the small hit flag is off (step 162SGS166; N), the game state is changed to a probable state or a time reduction by determining whether or not the time reduction flag is turned on in the game control flag setting unit 162SG152. It is determined whether or not the time saving control is being performed in the state (step 162SGS168). Then, if the time saving flag is turned on (step 162SGS168; Y), the out-of-order variation pattern determination table D is selected and set as the table to be used for determining the variation pattern to any of a plurality of types (step 162SGS168; Y). Step 162 SGS169).

On the other hand, when the time reduction control is not in progress, that is, when the time reduction flag is not turned on (step 162SGS168; N), for example, the storage of the reserved storage number counter of the fluctuation special figure provided in the game control counter setting unit 162SG154. By reading the value or the like, the reserved storage number of the variable special map is specified, and it is determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the specified variable special map is 1 or 2 (step 162SGS170).

When the number of reserved memory of the specified variation special figure is 1 or 2 (step 162SGS170; 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 set (step 162SGS171).

Further, when the reserved storage number of the specified variable special figure is not 1 or 2 (step 162SGS170; N), it is further determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the specified variable special figure is 3 (step 162SGS172). ).

When the number of reserved memory of the specified variation special figure is 3 (step 162SGS172; 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. And set (step 162 SGS173).

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 162SGS172; 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 set (step 162SGS174), and the process proceeds to step 162SGS175.

After executing any of the processes of step 162SGS164, step 162SGS165, step 162SGS167, step 162SGS169, step 162SGS1711, step 162SGS173, and step 162SGS174, for example, the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern stored in the random number buffer for fluctuation or the like. By referring to any of the large hit variation pattern determination table, the special hit variation pattern determination table, or the loss variation pattern determination table A to D selected (set) based on the numerical data indicating Is determined to be one of a plurality of types (step 162SGS175). Even if the fluctuation pattern determined in this case is the same fluctuation pattern, if the value of the ball ejection state flag at that time is "1", the first high ball ejection state corresponds to the first high ball ejection state. The fluctuation pattern of the variable display time that has been extended and adjusted by one step will be determined, and if the value of the ball ejection state flag at that time is "2", it corresponds to the second high ball ejection state. The variation pattern of the variable display time to which the extension adjustment of the second stage is performed will be determined.

That is, in step 162SGS175, the fluctuation pattern of the variable display time is determined according to the value of the ball ejection state flag.

When the jackpot flag is off, the variation pattern is determined in the process of step 162SGS175 to determine whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is set to "reach". That is, the process of step 162 SGS 170 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 162SGS175, 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 symbol games using the second special symbol (step 162SGS176). 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 162SGS176, settings for transmitting various commands used at the start of fluctuation of the special symbol are set (step 162SGS177). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a first variable start command, a variable pattern designation command, and a variable display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the designated command and the first hold storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address (start address) in the ROM 101 of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is used as the game control buffer setting unit 162SG155. It is stored in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer provided in. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a second fluctuation start command, a fluctuation pattern designation command, and a variable display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the designated command and the second reserved storage number notification command, the game control buffer setting unit 162SG155 is provided with the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance. Stores in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer.

After executing the process of step 162SGS177, the special figure variable display time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol corresponding to the value of the ball ejection state flag, is set for the fluctuation pattern determined in step 162SGS175 (step 162SGS178). The special symbol variable display time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is from the start of the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game to the stop display of the confirmed special symbol that is the variable display result (special symbol display result). The time required. 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 162SGS179), and then the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

Based on the command transmission setting in step 162SGS177, every time the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. 278 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 designated command, the first variable start command or the second variable 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 will be transmitted in sequence. Become. 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 variation start command, the second variation start command, and the variation pattern specification command are transmitted. , The game state designation command, the first hold storage number notification command, the second hold storage number notification command, and the like may be transmitted in this order.

FIG. 284-18 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 279 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 S113 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 162SGS180). 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 162SGS181). Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is turned on (step 162SGS182), and when the big hit flag is turned off (step 162SGS182; N), the small hit flag is further turned on. It is determined whether or not it is present (step 162SGS183).

When the small hit flag is turned on, the effect control board 12 is set to send the hit start 5 designated command corresponding to the small hit (step 162SGS190a). Then, a value corresponding to the small hit display time is set in the small hit display time timer (step 162SGS190b). Further, the number of times of opening (for example, twice) is set in the large winning opening opening number counter (step 162SGS190c). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "8" (step 162SGS190d), which is a value corresponding to the small hit opening pre-processing (step S118), and the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is turned on (step 162SGS182; Y), the CPU 103 clears the probability change flag and the time saving flag to turn it off (step) if the probability change flag and the time saving flag are turned on. 162SGS184), hit start 1 designation command (probability change jackpot A), hit start 2 designation command (probability variation jackpot B), hit start 3 designation command (probability variation jackpot C) according to the type of jackpot stored in the effect control board 12. ), Set to send the hit start 4 designated command (non-probability change) (step 162SGS185).

Further, the CPU 103 makes settings for transmitting a game state designation command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (step 162SGS186).

Then, a value corresponding to the jackpot display time (time corresponding to the execution period of the fanfare effect for notifying, for example, that the jackpot has occurred in the image display device 5) is set in the jackpot display time timer (step 162SGS187). At this time, as the jackpot display time set in the jackpot display time timer, the jackpot display time corresponding to the ball ejection state flag is set.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 284-21, if the value of the ball ejection state flag is "0", 30,000 corresponding to the non-extended fanfare production period corresponding to the low ball ejection state of 30,000 milliseconds. Milliseconds are set as the jackpot display time.

If the value of the payout state flag is "1", 40,000 milliseconds corresponding to the fanfare production period of the first stage extension corresponding to the first high payout state is set as the jackpot display time. If the value of the payout state flag is "2", the jackpot display time is set to 60,000 milliseconds corresponding to the fanfare production period of the second stage extension corresponding to the second high payout state. ..

Then, 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. After that (step 162SGS188), the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" corresponding to the jackpot opening preprocessing (step S114) (step 162SGS189).

On the other hand, when the small hit flag is off (step 162SGS183; N), in step 162SGS190, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is "0". Although not particularly shown in this feature unit 162SG, when the jackpot type of the jackpot game completed in the jackpot game end process is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the CPU 103 has a probability variation flag and a time saving flag. Both are turned on (the game state is controlled to the high accuracy and high base state), and "0" is set as the value of the time reduction counter, and the jackpot type of the jackpot game completed in the jackpot game end process is the probability variation jackpot C. If there is, the probability change flag is turned on (the game state is controlled to the high probability and low base state), and "0" is set as the value of the time reduction counter. Then, when the jackpot type of the jackpot game completed in the jackpot game end process is a non-probability variable jackpot, the CPU 103 turns on the time reduction flag and sets "100" as the value of the time reduction counter. ing. Occasionally, the process proceeds to step 162 SGS196.

On the other hand, when the value of the time reduction counter is not "0" (step 162SGS190; N), that is, in the high base state where the time reduction remains, the value of the time reduction counter is decremented by -1 (step). 162SGS191). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter after subtraction is "0" (step 162SGS193), and if it is not "0" (step 162SGS193; N), the process proceeds to step 162SGS196, and the value of the time reduction counter is reached. When is "0" (step 162SGS193; Y), after clearing the time saving flag and turning it off (step 162SGS194) in order to end the time saving control, the state of the probability change flag or the time saving flag is supported. After setting the transmission of the game state designation command corresponding to the game state (specifically, low accuracy and low base) (step 162SGS195), the process proceeds to step 162SGS196. With the execution of step 162SGS195, the number of consecutive villas is also reset.

Then, after the determination, the variable display remaining number update process is executed (step 162SGS196). In this post-determination variable display remaining count update process, it is determined whether or not the post-judgment variable display remaining count is "0", and if it is not "0" (when the remaining count exists), the remaining count is set to 1. Subtraction is updated, and if it is "0", the variable display remaining number update process after the determination is terminated.

Next, in step 162SGS197, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "0", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, and then the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

FIG. 284-19 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 279 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 162SGS201). When the jackpot end display timer is not operating (step 162SGS201; N), a value corresponding to the execution period of the ending effect of displaying the jackpot end on the image display device 5 is set as the jackpot end display time in the jackpot end display timer. (Step 162SGS202), and the process is terminated.

At this time, as the jackpot end display time set in the jackpot end display timer, the jackpot end display time corresponding to the ball ejection status flag is set. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 284-21, if the value of the ball ejection state flag is "0", the timer corresponding to the non-extended ending effect period corresponding to the low ball ejection state is 60,000 milliseconds. The value is set. If the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1", a timer value corresponding to 70,000 milliseconds, which is the ending effect period of the first stage extension corresponding to the first high ball ejection state, is set, and the ball ejection state is set. If the value of the flag is "2", the timer value corresponding to 90000 milliseconds, which is the ending effect period of the second stage extension corresponding to the second high ball output state, is set.

On the other hand, when the big hit end display timer is operating (step 162SGS201; Y), the value of the big hit end display timer is subtracted by 1 (step 162SGS203). 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 162SGS204). If it has not passed, the process ends.

If the jackpot end display time has elapsed (step 162SGS204; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether the stored jackpot type is a non-probability variable jackpot (step 162SGS205).

When the stored jackpot type is not a non-probability change jackpot (step 162SGS205; N), it is further determined whether or not the stored jackpot type is a probability variation jackpot C (step 162SGS206).

When the stored jackpot type is the probability variation jackpot C (step 162SGS206; Y), after turning on the probability variation flag (step 162SGS210), the process proceeds to step 162SGS213.

On the other hand, when the stored jackpot type is not the probability variation jackpot C, that is, when the jackpot type is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B (step 162SGS206; N), the probability variation flag is turned on (step 162SGS207). After turning on the time saving flag (step 162SGS208) and setting the time saving number counter to "0" (step 162SGS209), the process proceeds to step 162SGS213.

On the other hand, when the jackpot type is a non-probability variable jackpot (step 162SGS205; Y), by executing step 162SGS211 and step 162SGS212, the time saving flag is turned on and "100" is set in the time saving number counter. After that, the process proceeds to step 162SGS213.

In step 162SGS213, the jackpot flag is turned off, and the transmission setting of the jackpot end designation command according to the jackpot type is set (step 162SGS214). Then, the transmission setting of the game state designation 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 is set (step 162SGS215).

Then, the update process of the number of consecutive villas and the number of consecutive villas after the determination is executed (step 162SGS216). In this update process, specifically, whether the finished jackpot is the first jackpot that occurred in the low base state or the consecutive villa jackpot that occurred in the high base state, for example, the finished jackpot. It is specified from the value of the state flag before the start of big hit (“0” for low base, “1” for high base) corresponding to the state before the occurrence of the first big hit, and if it is the first big hit, it is the number of consecutive villas. Set "1". On the other hand, in the case of a consecutive villa jackpot, since the number of consecutive villas is already a value other than "0", 1 is added and updated to the number of consecutive villas. Further, in the case of a consecutive villa jackpot, if the initial value is set in the number of consecutive villas after the determination, 1 is added and updated to the number of consecutive villas after the determination.

Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "0", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing (step 162SGS217).

Although not particularly shown in this feature unit 162SG, when the number of round executions has not reached the set upper limit number of times in the jackpot opening post-processing (step S116), the CPU 103 responds to the value of the ball ejection state flag. Set the interval period timer. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 284-21, if the value of the ball ejection state flag is "0", the timer value corresponding to 5000 milliseconds, which is the non-extended interval period corresponding to the low ball ejection state. To set. If the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1", the timer value corresponding to 6000 milliseconds, which is the interval period of the first stage extension corresponding to the first high ball ejection state, is set. If the value of the ball ejection state flag is "2", a timer value corresponding to 7000 milliseconds, which is the interval period of the second stage extension corresponding to the second high ball ejection state, is set.

After setting these timer values in the interval period timer, the CPU 103 subtracts and updates the value of the interval period timer every time the jackpot opening post-processing is executed, and the CPU 103 is large based on the timer out of the interval period timer. While controlling the opening of the winning opening, the value of the special figure process is updated to the value corresponding to the processing during the opening of the big hit, that is, a new round game is started.

As described above, in the present feature unit 162SG, as shown in FIG. 284-20, in the period from the derivation display of the jackpot symbol to the end of the jackpot game based on the derivation display of the jackpot symbol, the ball ejection state flag is set. Regardless of the value, the round game continues until a certain opening period (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or a certain number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) win the big prize opening, so the ball ejection status flag is set. The number of prize balls that can be paid out in each round game does not change according to the value. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 284-20 and 284-21, the game ball cannot win the big prize opening due to the closure of the big winning opening, that is, the fanfare effect that the prize ball cannot be won. The period, interval period, and ending effect period are lengthened as the value of the ball ejection status flag changes from 0 to 1 to 2.

For this reason, the number of prize balls that can be paid out in each round game does not change according to the value of the payout state flag, so that the number of prize balls that can be acquired by the player does not decrease, and the game balls are large. By changing (prolonging) the fanfare production period, interval period, and ending production period, which are the periods during which winning is not possible, according to the value of the payout status flag, the number of prize balls paid out per unit time can be increased. It is possible to suppress it.

Next, the processing that can be executed by the effect control CPU 120 will be described.

FIG. 284-22 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S75 of FIG. 281 as the command analysis process. In the command analysis process shown in FIGS. 284-22, the effect control CPU 120 first receives from the main board 11 transmitted via the relay board 15 by confirming the stored contents of the effect control command reception buffer. It is determined whether or not there is a command (step 162SGS221).

If there is a receive command in step 162SGS221 (step 162SGS221; Y), for example, by checking the MODE data of the receive command, it is determined whether or not the receive command is the first start opening winning designation command. (Step 162 SGS222). Then, when the command is the first start opening winning designation command (step 162SGS222; Y), the first hold storage number notification waiting time is set (step 162SGS223). For example, in the process of step 162SGS223, a predetermined timer initial value corresponding to the reception waiting time of the first hold storage number notification command is set in the command reception control timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit 162SG192. Just do it.

If the reception command in step 162SGS222 is not the first start opening winning designation command (step 162SGS222; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second start opening winning designation command (step 162SGS224). Then, when the command is the second start opening winning designation command (step 162SGS224; Y), the second hold storage number notification waiting time is set (step 162SGS225). For example, in the process of step 162SGS225, a predetermined timer initial value corresponding to the reception waiting time of the second hold storage number notification command may be set in the command reception control timer.

If the reception command is not the second start opening winning designation command in step 162SGS224 (step 162SGS224; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is a symbol designation command (step 162SGS226). If the received command is not a symbol designation command in step 162SGS226 (step 162SGS226; N), it is determined whether or not the received command is a variable category command (step 162SGS227). If the received command is not a variable category command in step 162SGS227 (step 162SGS227; N), it is determined whether or not the received command is the first reserved storage number notification command (step 162SGS228). Then, when it is the first hold storage number notification command (step 162SGS228; Y), the first hold storage number notification waiting time is cleared by, for example, initializing the timekeeping operation by the command reception control timer (step 162SGS229). ..

If the reception command is not the first hold storage number notification command in step 162SGS228 (step 162SGS228; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second hold storage number notification command (step 162SGS230). Then, when it is the second reserved storage number notification command (step 162SGS230; Y), the second reserved storage number notification waiting time is cleared by, for example, initializing the timekeeping operation by the command reception control timer (step 162SGS231). ..

Then, after executing any of the processes of step 162SGS229 and step 162SGS231, "1" indicating that the hold display mode is undecided is set in the display undecided flag of the stored entry (display undecided flag). If there is an unreceived command, the effect restriction flag is set to "1" (the display restriction flag is turned on) (step 162SGS232).

When the reception command is a symbol specification command in step 162SGS226 (step 162SGS226; Y), when the reception command is a variable category command in step 162SGS227 (step 162SGS227; Y), or in step 162SGS223, step 162SGS225, step 162SGS232. After executing any of the processes of, the received command is stored at the beginning of the free area in the start winning command buffer 162SG194A (step 162SGS233) (step 162SGS233), and the process returns to the process of step 162SGS221.

When the hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command) is received together with the variable display start command (first variable display start command or second variable display start command). , The hold storage number notification command may not be stored in the start winning command receive command buffer 162SG194A. That is, it suffices that the effect control commands received in response to the occurrence of the start winning can be sequentially stored from the beginning of the free area in the start winning command buffer 162SG194A.

If the reception command is not the second hold storage number notification command in step 162SGS230 (step 162SGS230; N), settings are made according to other reception commands (step 162SGS234), and then the process returns to step 162SGS221. For example, when the reception command is a ball ejection state designation command, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the ball ejection state from the ball ejection state designation command in the process of step 162SGS234, and responds to the specified ball ejection state. Processing such as turning the flag on may be executed. By doing so, the effect control CPU 120 can specify the ball ejection state by referring to the flag.

When there is no receive command in the command reception buffer in step 162SGS221 (step 162SGS221; N), it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number notification waiting time or the second reserved storage number notification waiting time has elapsed (step 162SGS221; N). 162SGS237). If the first reserved storage number notification waiting time or the second reserved storage number notification waiting time has not elapsed (step 162SGS237; N), the command analysis process is terminated, and the first reserved storage number notification waiting time or the second reserved storage number notification waiting time or the second reserved storage is completed. When the number notification waiting time has elapsed (step 162SGS237; Y), the display undecided flag of the corresponding storage incomplete entry is set to "1" in the effect restriction flag (the display undecided flag is turned on). End the command analysis process.

FIG. 284-23 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S161 of FIG. 282 as the pre-reading notice setting process. In the pre-reading notice setting process shown in FIGS. 284-23, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning command buffer 162SG194A (step 162SGS241), and whether or not there is a new storage of the command at the time of starting winning. Is determined by whether or not there is an entry in which the display undecided flag is on (step 162SGS242a).

If there is no entry in which the display undecided flag is on (step 162SGS242a; N), the process proceeds to step 162SGS252, and if there is an entry in which the display undecided flag is on (step 162SGS242a; Y), further determination is made. It is determined whether or not the remaining variable display count is equal to or less than the read-ahead limit (step 162SGS242b). When the remaining number of variable displays after determination is equal to or less than the pre-reading limit number (step 162SGS242b; Y), by proceeding to step 162SGS250, “0” corresponding to the normal display mode is set as the hold display flag, as described later. It is set.

If the number of remaining variable displays after determination is larger than the number of read-ahead limits (step 162SGS242b; N), whether or not the effect restriction flag of the entry is in the ON state (whether or not "1" is set). Is determined (step 162SGS242c). When the effect restriction flag is on (step 162SGS242c; Y), by proceeding to step 162SGS250, “0” corresponding to the normal display mode is set in the hold display flag, as will be described later.

On the other hand, when the effect restriction flag is off (step 162SGS242b; N), whether or not the symbol designation command of the entry is the 4th symbol designation or the 6th symbol designation command, that is, the symbol designation command is a probable change. It is determined whether or not it is a symbol designation command indicating C or a small hit (step 162SGS243a). When the symbol designation command is a symbol designation command indicating a probability variation big hit C or a small hit (step 162SGS243a; Y), by proceeding to step 162SGS250, "0" corresponding to the normal display mode is set. , Set to the hold display flag. That is, the pre-reading notice effect is not executed for the reserved memory that becomes the probability variation big hit C or the small hit.

On the other hand, if the symbol designation command is not a symbol designation command indicating probability variation big hit C or small hit, whether or not the symbol designation command of the entry is the first symbol designation command, that is, a command indicating that the symbol designation command is off. (Step 162SGS243b). If the symbol designation command of the entry is not the first symbol designation command, that is, if it is a command indicating a jackpot (either a probability variation jackpot A, a probability variation jackpot B, or a non-probability variation jackpot) (step 162SGS243b; N), the entry is concerned. The jackpot type is specified from the symbol specification command of (step 162SGS244).

Then, for example, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for the look-ahead advance notice effect extracted from the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 162SG193 and the jackpot type specified in step 162SGS244, the jackpot pre-reading (not shown) is performed. By referring to the advance notice effect determination table, it is determined whether or not to execute the look-ahead advance notice effect and the display pattern when the look-ahead advance notice effect is executed (step 162SGS245).

In step 162 SGS245, for example, the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) are determined at the determination ratio as shown in FIG. 284-24 (A). In the setting example of the determination ratio shown in FIG. 284-24 (A), the presence / absence of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the determination ratio of the display pattern (notice type) are different depending on the jackpot type specified in the process of step 162SGS244. ..

Specifically, two types of display patterns α and display patterns β are provided as display patterns (notice types) for the pre-reading notice effect. Of these, when the display pattern of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern α, the hold storage display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D or the second hold storage display area 5U as a white square (◇). When the display pattern (notice type) of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern β, the hold storage display is a white star (☆) and the first hold storage display area 5D or the second hold storage display is displayed. Displayed in area 5U.

If the variable display result is a jackpot other than the probabilistic jackpot C, the pre-reading notice effect is not determined to be non-executed, and the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is always determined as the display pattern (notice type). The display pattern (notice type) of either the display pattern α or the display pattern β is determined.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-24 (A), when the jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot A", the display pattern α determines the ratio at which the display pattern β is determined as the display pattern (notice type). It is set higher than the ratio to be set. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot B" or "non-probability variation jackpot", the ratio at which the display pattern β is determined as the display pattern (notice type) is higher than the ratio at which the display pattern α is determined. It is set low.

With such a setting, when the variable display result is "big hit" and the display pattern β is displayed as the display pattern (notice type), the big hit type is compared with the case where the display pattern α is displayed. The ratio of the probability variation jackpot A is increased, and the player's expectation of becoming the probability variation jackpot A can be increased.

In this feature unit 162SG, when the variable display result is a "big hit" other than the probabilistic big hit C, the hold storage display is displayed in a white square (◇) by always deciding to execute the pre-reading notice effect. The display pattern of either the display pattern α or the display pattern β displayed in the white star shape (☆) is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display result is a probability variation jackpot C. Even in the case of a "big hit" other than the above, a case may be provided in which the non-execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect is determined in the same manner as in the case where the variable display result is "missing".

Further, in step 162SGS243b, when the symbol designation command of the entry in which the display undecided flag is on is the first symbol designation command, that is, when it is a command indicating an error (step 162SGS243b; Y), the display is undecided. The variable category indicated by the variable category specification command of the entry in which the flag is on is specified (step 162SGS247). Specifically, if the variation category specification command of the entry is C600H, it is specified as a category of "non-reach" variation pattern, and if it is C601H, it is a category of "super reach" variation pattern. If it is C602H, it may be specified that it is a category of "other" fluctuation patterns including normal reach.

Then, for example, it is not shown based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for the pre-reading advance notice effect extracted from the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 162SG193, and the category of the fluctuation pattern specified in step 162SGS247. By referring to the pre-reading notice effect determination table at the time of loss, it is determined whether or not to execute the pre-reading notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) when the pre-reading notice effect is executed (step 162SGS248).

In step 162SGS248, for example, the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) are determined at the determination ratio as shown in FIG. 284-24 (B). In the setting example of the determination ratio shown in FIG. 284-24 (B), the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the determination ratio of the display pattern (notice type) are determined according to the category of the fluctuation pattern specified in the process of step 162SGS247. It's different.

Specifically, two types of display patterns (notice types) are provided, a display pattern α and a display pattern β. Of these, when the display pattern (notice type) is determined to be the display pattern α, the first reserved storage display area 5D or the second reserved storage display area is represented by a white square (◇) in which the reserved storage display is a specific mode. When it is displayed on 5U and the display pattern (notice type) is determined to be the display pattern β, the first hold storage display area 5D or the second hold is displayed in a white star shape (☆) in which the hold storage display is a specific mode. It is displayed in the storage display area 5U. When the pre-reading notice effect is determined not to be executed, the hold storage display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D or the second hold storage display area 5U in a round shape (◯), which is a normal mode.

As shown in FIG. 284-24 (B), when the variable display result is "missing" and the variable pattern category is "other", the variable display result is "missing" and the variable pattern category. The rate at which the pre-reading notice effect is executed (the rate determined other than "no notice effect") is set higher than when is "non-reach". Also, when the variable display result is "off" and the variable pattern category is "super reach", the variable display result is "off" and the variable pattern category is "other". The rate at which the pre-reading notice effect is executed (the rate determined other than "no notice effect") is set high.

When the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is decided when the variable display result is "off", when the variable category is "other", the variable pattern category is "non-reach". Also, the ratio at which the display pattern α is determined is set high. Further, when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "super reach", the rate at which the display pattern α is determined is set higher than when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "other". Further, when the variable display result is "off" and the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is decided, when the variable pattern category is "other", the variable pattern category is "non-reach". The rate at which the display pattern β is determined is set higher than in the case of, and when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "super reach", the display pattern is higher than when the category of the fluctuation pattern is "other". The rate at which β is determined is set high.

When the variable display result is "off", the rate at which the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be non-execution regardless of whether the variation pattern category is "non-reach", "other", or "super reach". Is set to the highest, and the ratio at which the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be executed and the display pattern β is determined is set to the lowest.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-24 (A), when the variable display result is "big hit", the pre-reading advance notice effect is not determined to be non-execution (no advance notice effect), and the look-ahead effect is not determined. The ratio at which the advance notice effect is determined to be executed and the display pattern α or the display pattern β is determined is determined by the display pattern α or the display pattern β in any of the fluctuation pattern categories when the variable display result is “missing”. It is set higher than the ratio to be set.

Further, when the variable display result is "off (non-reach)", "off (super reach)", or "off (other)", the display pattern α is determined when the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is determined. Is set higher than the rate at which the display pattern β is determined. On the other hand, when the variable display result is "big hit (probability variation A)" and the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is determined, the ratio at which the display pattern β is determined is the ratio at which the display pattern α is determined. Is set higher than.

When the display pattern α or the display pattern β is executed (displayed) as the display pattern (notice type) of the pre-reading notice effect by such a setting, the display pattern α or the display pattern β is not executed (displayed). The variable display result is more likely to be a "big hit", and especially when the display pattern β is executed (displayed), the variable display result is a "big hit" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot A". Since the ratio of the above is increased, the expectation of the player can be increased.

After the execution of step 162SGS248, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the look-ahead advance notice effect is determined in step 162SGS247, that is, the display pattern (notice type) is determined to be either the display pattern α or the display pattern β. It is determined whether or not (step 162SGS249).

After the execution of step 162SGS245 or when the execution of the look-ahead notice effect is decided (step 162SGS249; Y), the flag value corresponding to the decided display pattern (notice type) is set in the hold display flag of the entry (step). 162SGS246). Specifically, if the display pattern (notice type) determined in step 162SGS245 or step 162SGS248 is the display pattern α indicating the hold storage display by “◇”, “1” is set in the hold display flag of the entry, and the step If the display pattern (notice type) determined in 162SGS245 or step 162SGS248 is the display pattern β indicating the hold storage display by “☆”, the hold display flag of the entry is set to “2”, and then the process proceeds to step 162SGS251.

If the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is not determined in step 162SGS249 (step 162SGS249; N), after setting the hold display flag of the entry to "0" indicating white "○" (step). 162SGS250), step 162SGS251.

After executing step 162SGS246 or step 162SGS250, the effect control CPU 120 changes the value of the display undecided flag of the entry to "0" (step 162SGS251). After that, the hold display is updated based on the stored contents of the start winning command buffer 162SG194A (step 162SGS252). As a result, the hold storage newly stored in the start winning command buffer 162SG194A is displayed in the display mode corresponding to any of "0", "1", and "2" set in the hold display flag. To. Further, even when the variable display is executed and the stored contents of the start winning command buffer 162SG194A are shifted, the stored contents of the start winning command buffer 162SG194A after the shift are shifted according to the stored contents of FIG. As shown in A), the hold display of the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U provided at the lower position of the image display device 5 is updated.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 284-25 (B), if the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is one, one reserved storage display is displayed. As the display mode of the hold storage display, when the flag value of the hold display flag corresponding to the hold storage is "0", the display mode is "○" as shown in FIG. 284-25 (B). When the flag value of the hold display flag is "1", it is displayed in the display mode of "◇", and when the flag value of the hold display flag is "2", "☆" is displayed. It is displayed in the display mode of. If the number of hold storages in the first special figure is two, two hold storage displays are displayed, and each hold storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the hold display flag of the corresponding hold storage. Is displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is three, three reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is four, four reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D.

Further, if the number of the second special figure reserved storage is one, one reserved storage display is displayed. As in the case of the first special figure, when the flag value of the hold display flag corresponding to the hold storage is "0", the display mode of the hold storage display is "○". When the flag value of the hold display flag is "1", it is displayed in the display mode of "◇", and when the flag value of the hold display flag is "2", "☆" is displayed. It is displayed in the mode. If the number of the second special figure reserved storage is two, for example, as shown in FIG. 284-25 (B), two reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display is the corresponding reserved storage. As a mode according to the flag value set in the hold display flag of, for example, the second hold storage display in the display mode in which the hold storage display of 1 is "○" and the display mode in which the hold storage display of 1 is "☆". Displayed in area 5U. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the second special figure is three, three reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the second hold storage display area 5U. Further, if the number of reserved storages in the second special figure is four, four reserved storage displays are displayed, and each reserved storage display corresponds to a flag value set in the corresponding reserved storage display flag. Is displayed in the second hold storage display area 5U.

Then, as shown in FIG. 284-25 (B), the reserved storage display also has a predetermined shift direction (this feature unit) in response to the decrease (consumption) of the reserved storage each time the variable display is executed. In 162SG, it shifts toward the center of the screen).

That is, when the hold memory is consumed in the variable display start setting process described later, which is executed at the start of the variable display, and the hold memory of the start winning command buffer 162SG194A is shifted, the start winning after the shift is started. Based on the hold storage of the receive command buffer 162SG194A, the hold storage display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U is also shifted and displayed, and there is a new hold storage due to the start winning. In that case, the display pattern of the hold storage is determined and set in the hold display flag, and the first hold storage display area 5D or the second hold is set in the display mode according to the flag value set in the hold display flag. It will be displayed in the storage display area 5U.

Although the feature unit 162SG exemplifies a mode in which the process of step 162SGS252 is executed in the pre-reading notice setting process, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first reserved storage display area 5D thereof is not limited thereto. The process for updating the hold display of the second hold storage display area 5U may be individually executed as a process different from the pre-reading notice setting process (for example, the hold display update process).

Further, in the present feature unit 162SG, it is determined in step 162SGS242 to execute or not execute the pre-reading notice effect in the hold memory in the start winning, provided that the command at the time of the start winning is newly stored. Since the start winning to the first starting winning opening and the starting winning to the second starting winning opening occur at the same time, a new storage of the command at the time of starting winning in both the first special figure and the second special figure in step 162SGS242 If it is determined that there is, that is, if there is an entry in which the display undecided flag is on in both the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory, both entries are pre-read notice. It is the target of determination of execution and non-execution of the production. Both the hold memory in which the command at the time of the start winning in the first special figure is newly stored and the hold memory in which the command at the time of the start winning in the second special figure is newly stored are executed and non-executed of the pre-reading notice effect. In the case of a decision target, if there is no entry of the hold display flag of "1" or "2" indicating the execution of the pre-reading notice effect, the hold display of the hold storage of the first special figure and the hold of the second special figure are held. The pre-reading notice effect may be executed at the same time on both sides of the display.

Further, in this feature unit 162SG, when the start winning to the first starting winning opening and the starting winning to the second starting winning opening occur at the same time as described above, the command at the time of starting winning in the first special figure is issued. Both the newly stored hold memory and the newly stored hold memory in which the command at the time of the start winning in the second special figure is newly stored are subject to the determination of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect, but this is the present invention. In such a case, the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special figure, and the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the second special figure. You may decide to execute only one of them.

Specifically, when the gaming state is a normal state in which the high opening control is not performed, the determination of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the hold storage in the first special figure is held in the second special figure. Prioritize the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in memory. Then, when it is decided to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special figure, the execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the second special figure is uniquely decided not to be executed, and the first special figure is determined. When it is decided not to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the figure, it may be decided to execute or not execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved storage in the second special figure.

On the other hand, when the gaming state is a time-saving state (high-accuracy high-base state / low-accuracy high-base state) in which high-opening control is performed, execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the hold memory in the second special figure. Is prioritized over the decision of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special figure. Then, when it is decided to execute the look-ahead notice effect in the hold memory in the second special figure, the execution of the look-ahead notice effect in the hold memory in the first special figure is uniquely decided not to be executed, and the second special figure is made. When it is decided not to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the figure, it may be decided to execute or not execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved storage in the first special figure.

FIG. 284-26 is a flowchart showing a variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 282. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable start command reception flag is on (step 162SGS271). When the first variable start command reception flag is on (step 162SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer 162SG194A are set. The various command data and various flags stored in association with each other are shifted higher by one buffer number (step 162SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

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

If the first variation start command reception flag is off in step 162SGS271 (step 162SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variation start command reception flag is on (step 162SGS273). When the second variation start command reception flag is off (step 162SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and when the second variation start command reception flag is on (step 162SGS273; Y), Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure hold storage in the received command buffer 162SG194A at the time of starting winning are stored for each buffer number. Shift to higher (step 162SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

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

After executing step 162SGS272 or step 162SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 162SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (step 162SGS276). 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 162SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, three symbols "7" as stop symbols. ”Determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbols). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B, a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, "111") are used as stop symbols. It is determined from the combination of decorative patterns such as "333", "555", and "999"). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probabilistic big hit C, the stop symbol is "334", "778", etc., which are the same chances as the small hit. Decide from among. 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, when the received variable display result specification command is the sixth variable display result specification command corresponding to a small hit, the stop symbol is "334", "778", etc., which are the same chances as the probability change big hit C. Decide from among. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the outlier, if the variation pattern is a non-reach variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as stop symbols. If the combination of the symbols other than the above-mentioned chance eyes (missing symbol) is determined and the fluctuation pattern is the reach fluctuation pattern, the combination of the reach-off decorative symbols such as "121" and "464" (missing symbol) is determined. ) Is determined.

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.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the advance notice effect determination process shown in FIG. 284-27 to determine whether or not to execute the advance notice effect in the variable display (step 162SGS277). It should be noted that the feature unit 162SG exemplifies a mode in which the execution of any one of the four advance notice effects A to the advance notice effect D can be determined in the advance notice effect determination process, as will be described later. Is not limited to this, and the number of possible advance notice effects may be 3 or less or 5 or more.

In the notice effect determination process of the feature unit 162SG, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies the ball ejection state, and sets the advance notice effect type determination table corresponding to the specified ball ejection state (step 162SGS290). The payout state may be specified, for example, from the value of the flag that was turned on when the payout state designation command was received in the command analysis process.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 284-28, when the effect control CPU 120 specifies the ball ejection state as the low ball ejection state, the notice effect type determination table A is selected, and the ball ejection state is set to the first high. When the ball ejection state is specified, the notice effect type determination table B may be selected, and when the ball ejection state is specified as the second high ball ejection state, the advance notice effect type determination table C may be selected.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the variable display result and the variable pattern (step 162SGS291). The variable display result is a variable display for designating the variable display result (missing, probabilistic jackpot A, probabilistic jackpot B, probabilistic jackpot C, non-probabilistic jackpot, small hit) transmitted from the main board 11 at the start of variable display. Variable display result specification command for storing the result specification command This can be specified by the variable display result specification command stored in the storage area. Further, as described above, the variation pattern can be specified by the variation pattern specification command stored in the variation pattern specification command storage area.

Then, a random number for determining the advance notice effect is extracted, and whether or not the advance notice effect is executed and the advance notice effect type when the advance notice effect is executed are determined using the advance notice effect type determination table set in step 162SG290 (step 162SGS292).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 284-28, when the payout state is a low payout state, the advance notice effect type determination table A is used, and if the variable display result is out of reach, 85. %% Decided not to execute the advance notice effect, 10% decided to execute the advance notice effect A, 5% decided to execute the advance notice effect B, and 0% decided to execute the advance notice effect C. The execution is decided, and the execution of the notice effect D is decided at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is out of super reach, 20% decides not to execute the advance notice effect, 50% decides to execute the advance notice effect A, and 30% decides to execute the advance notice effect B. It is decided, the execution of the notice effect C is decided at a rate of 0%, and the execution of the notice effect D is decided at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is a big hit excluding the big hit C, the non-execution of the notice effect is decided at a rate of 10%, the execution of the notice effect A is decided at a rate of 25%, and the notice effect is decided at a rate of 65%. The execution of B is determined, the execution of the advance notice effect C is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution of the advance notice effect D is determined at a rate of 0%.

In addition, when the ball ejection state is the first high ball ejection state, the advance notice effect type determination table B is used, and if the variable display result is out of reach, the advance notice effect is not executed at a rate of 85%. It is decided, the execution of the notice effect A is decided at the rate of 10%, the execution of the notice effect B is decided at the rate of 5%, the execution of the notice effect C is decided at the rate of 0%, and the execution of the notice effect C is decided at the rate of 0%. The execution of the notice effect D is decided. If the variable display result is out of super reach, 20% decides not to execute the advance notice effect, 50% decides to execute the advance notice effect A, and 25% decides to execute the advance notice effect B. It is decided, the execution of the notice effect C is decided at a rate of 5%, and the execution of the notice effect D is decided at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is a big hit excluding the big hit C, the non-execution of the notice effect is decided at a rate of 10%, the execution of the notice effect A is decided at a rate of 25%, and the notice effect is decided at a rate of 50%. The execution of B is decided, the execution of the notice effect C is decided at a rate of 15%, and the execution of the notice effect D is decided at a rate of 0%.

In addition, when the ball ejection state is the second high ball ejection state, the advance notice effect type determination table C is used, and if the variable display result is out of reach, the advance notice effect is not executed at a rate of 85%. It is decided, the execution of the notice effect A is decided at the rate of 8%, the execution of the notice effect B is decided at the rate of 4%, the execution of the notice effect C is decided at the rate of 3%, and the execution of the notice effect C is decided at the rate of 0%. The execution of the notice effect D is decided. If the variable display result is out of super reach, 20% decides not to execute the advance notice effect, 45% decides to execute the advance notice effect A, and 20% decides to execute the advance notice effect B. It is decided, the execution of the notice effect C is decided at a rate of 10%, and the execution of the notice effect D is decided at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is a big hit excluding the big hit C, the non-execution of the notice effect is decided at a rate of 10%, the execution of the notice effect A is decided at a rate of 15%, and the notice effect is decided at a rate of 45%. The execution of B is decided, the execution of the notice effect C is decided at a rate of 20%, and the execution of the notice effect D is decided at a rate of 10%.

That is, as the notice effect in the feature unit 162SG, the notice effect D has the highest jackpot expectation (the ratio at which the variable display result becomes a jackpot), and the notice effect C has a larger hit expectation than the notice effect D. It is set low, the notice effect B is set to have a lower jackpot expectation than the notice effect C, and the notice effect A is set to have a lower jackpot expectation than the notice effect B. When the notice effect is not executed, the jackpot expectation is set lower than when any of the notice effects is executed (big hit expectation: notice effect D> notice effect C> notice effect B> notice effect). A> Notice production not executed).

In addition, paying attention to the number of advance notice effects that can be executed in each payout state, there are two advance notice effects that can be executed in the low payout state, the notice effect A and the notice effect B, and can be executed in the first high payout state. There are three notice effects: notice effect A, notice effect B, and notice effect C. There are four. That is, in this feature unit 162SG, the advance notice effect that can be executed during the variable display increases by continuing the consecutive villa state after the first hit occurs, so that the game is delayed during the consecutive villa. It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game entertainment due to the storage.

In particular, in the second high ball output state, the notice effect D for determining that the variable display result is a big hit can be executed, so that the notice effect D is executed during the variable display in the second high ball output state. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is played, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

Returning to FIG. 284-27, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the advance notice effect has been decided after the execution of step 162SGS292 (step 162SGS293). If the execution of the advance notice effect has not been decided (step 162SGS293; N), the advance notice effect determination process ends. When it is decided to execute the advance notice effect (step 162SGS293; Y), the advance notice effect type determined in step 162SGS292 is stored (step 162SGS294), the advance notice effect execution decision flag is turned on (step 162SGS295), and the advance notice is given. The production determination process is completed.

After executing the advance notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 returns to the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 284-26, and in step 162SGS278, whether the effect control CPU 120 has the advance notice effect execution decision flag turned on. That is, it is determined whether or not the advance notice effect of either "preliminary effect A" or "preliminary effect B" is determined in the advance notice effect determination process of step 162SGS277.

When the advance notice effect execution decision flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step 162SGS279, the timer for waiting for the advance notice effect is set to a value corresponding to the period until the start of the advance notice effect (step 162SGS279), and the advance notice effect is executed. The determination flag is turned off (step 162SGS280), and the process proceeds to step 162SGS281. On the other hand, when the advance notice effect execution determination flag is off, the process proceeds to step 162SGS281 without going through step 162SGS279 and step 162SGS280.

As for the period until the start of the advance notice effect, the feature unit 162SG performs an effect (not shown) showing a sign of execution of the advance notice effect before the timing when the advance notice effect is started, and starts the advance notice effect. Since the timing is set as the start timing of the advance notice effect, a shorter period than the period until the advance notice effect is started is set, and the start timing of these advance notice effects is the process table of the advance notice effect executed from the start of the advance notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and when these precursory effects are not performed in the advance notice effect, the advance notice effect is provided. Since the start timing is the start timing of the advance notice effect, the period until the start timing of the advance notice effect may be set in the timer for waiting for the start of the advance notice effect.

In step 162 SGS281, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the ball ejection state and selects the effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the specified ball ejection state and the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 162SGS282).

In addition, in step 162SGS281, the effect control CPU 120 may specify the output state by referring to the value of the effect ball ejection state flag set in the process of step 162SGS234 of the command analysis process.

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 162SGS283). 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.

In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern specification command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed according to the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one, but the effect control CPU 120 specifies the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the specified ball ejection state and the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 162SGS284). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 162SGS285). 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 set to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S172) (step 162SGS286).

By executing the variable display start setting process by the effect control CPU 120 as described above, in the feature unit 162SG, the ball ejection state is any of the low ball ejection state, the first high ball ejection state, and the second high ball ejection state. Even so, it is possible to execute the variable display of the decorative symbol in conjunction with the variable display time of the special figure. In addition, in this feature unit 162SG, the effect control CPU 120 exemplifies a form in which a variable display of a decorative symbol according to a ball ejection state can be executed by a value of a ball ejection state flag for effect and a variation pattern specification command. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the CPU 103 specifies a variation pattern determination state that specifies in which ball ejection state the variation pattern specification command is determined together with the variation pattern specification command. A command can be transmitted to the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120), and each time the effect control CPU 120 receives these variation pattern specification commands and variation pattern determination state specification commands, a decorative pattern corresponding to the ball ejection state is received. You may want to perform a variable display of.

FIG. 284-29 is a flowchart showing the variable display during effect processing (step S172) in the effect control process process. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 sets the respective values of the process timer, the variable display time timer, and the variable display control timer by -1 (step 162SGS301, step 162SGS302, step 162SGS303). Further, in the effect control CPU 120, the timer for waiting for the start of the advance notice effect is set (it is determined to perform the advance notice effect), or the flag for executing the advance notice effect is on (during the execution of the advance notice effect). If there is) (step 162SGS304; Y), the advance notice effect processing is executed (step 162SGS305). If neither the timer for waiting for the start of the advance notice effect nor the flag for executing the advance notice effect is off, the process proceeds to step 162SGS306 without executing the advance notice effect process in step 162SGS305.

In step 162 SGS306, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process timer has timered out. If the process timer is out, the process data is switched (step 162SGS307). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the next set process timer setting value in the process table to the process timer (step 162SGS308). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect component) is changed based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., which are set next (step 162SGS309a). On the other hand, when the process timer is not timer-out, the effect device (for effect) is according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.). The control of the component) is executed (step 162SGS309b).

Next, it is confirmed whether or not the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 162SGS310). When the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 162SGS310; Y), the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right (30 ms after the previous display switching of the decorative symbol). Image data of the screen to be displayed) is created and written in a predetermined area of VRAM (step 162SGS311). In this way, the image display device 5 realizes variable display control of the decorative pattern. The display control unit 123 transmits a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. In this way, the image display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the decorative pattern in the variation of the decorative pattern. Further, the predetermined value is reset in the variable display control timer (step 162SGS312).

Further, when the variable display control timer is not timer-out (step 162SGS310; N), after the execution of step 162SGS312, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variable display time timer is timer-out (step 162SGS313). .. If the variable display time timer is out of the timer, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure hit wait process (step S173) (step 162SGS315). Even if the variable display time timer is not timer-out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is in the ON state (step 162SGS314; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is per special figure. The value is updated according to the wait process (step S173) (step 162SGS315). Even if the variable display time timer is not out of the timer, the control shifts to stop the fluctuation when the symbol confirmation specification command is received. Therefore, for example, the fluctuation pattern specification command that indicates a long fluctuation time due to noise between the boards. Is received, the variable display of the decorative symbol can be terminated when the regular variable display time has elapsed (at the end of the variable display of the special symbol).

In the process table used for the variable display control of the decorative symbol, the process data during the variable display of the decorative symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variable display time of the decorative symbol. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n in the process of step 162SGS306 times out, there is no process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.) to be switched, and variable display control of the decorative symbol based on the process table. Is finished.

When the advance notice effect is executed with the advance notice effect start waiting timer set, the effect control CPU 120 first subtracts and updates the value of the advance notice effect start wait timer in the advance notice effect process, and starts the advance notice effect. Determines whether the wait timer has timed out. When the timer for waiting for the start of the advance notice effect times out, that is, when the start timing of the advance notice effect is reached, the process table for the advance notice effect according to the type of the advance notice effect determined to be executed is selected, and the process for the advance notice effect is selected. Start the timer. That is, the effect device is controlled according to the content of the first process data in the advance notice effect process table. In addition, the advance notice effect processing is terminated with the advance notice effect execution flag turned on.

Then, when the advance notice effect is executed when the advance notice effect execution flag is on, the effect control CPU 120 performs subtraction update of the process timer for the advance notice effect, and the process timer for the advance notice effect is timer-out. Judge whether or not. If the process timer for the advance notice effect is not timered out, the control of the effector is executed according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer being executed, and if the process timer for the advance notice effect is out of the timer. , Switch process data. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 may start the process timer for the next advance notice effect again and control the effect device according to the contents of the next process data. By executing the advance notice effect processing as described above, the advance notice effect can be executed during the variable display.

In the above-mentioned feature unit 162SG, the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 exemplifies a mode in which only lighting / extinguishing is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a high ball ejection state. In, the variable display time extension adjustment is executed because the variable display is executed, but when the jackpot period extension adjustment is not executed because it is not in the jackpot state, it lights up in green (first mode) and is high output. When the jackpot period extension adjustment is executed due to the jackpot state in the ball state, but the variable display time extension adjustment is not executed because the variable display is not executed, the light is turned on in red (second mode). Then, it may be possible to confirm (understand) which adjustment is being executed.

Further, in the above-mentioned feature unit 162SG, the value of the ball ejection state flag is continuously updated from 0 → 1 → 2 in the continuous villa state (the ball ejection state is the first high ball ejection state from the low ball ejection state). By prolonging the fanfare production period, interval period, and ending production period of the jackpot game during the consecutive villa state, depending on the state and changing to the second high ball output), the ball output per unit time Although the embodiment in which the number of balls is suppressed, that is, the speed at which the prize balls are given is reduced, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, in the first high ball output state and the second high ball output state, the low output is achieved. Special figure such as fluctuation pattern of super reach than ball state The fluctuation pattern is controlled to the big hit game state by determining the fluctuation pattern using the fluctuation pattern judgment table for high ball output state where the determination rate of the fluctuation pattern is long. It is also possible to extend the period until the game is completed and reduce the number of balls to be played per unit time.

Further, it is determined that the pre-reading notice effect can be executed for a form in which the fluctuation pattern can be determined using the fluctuation pattern determination table for the high ball ejection state in the first high ball ejection state and the second high ball ejection state. When the pending storage of the variable display that is executed after the remaining number of variable display after judgment becomes 0 when the remaining number of variable display after judgment is still set to a value of 1 or more, the effect pattern of the pre-reading notice effect There is a large difference between the variation pattern suggested by (Variable display is executed according to the variation pattern of reach, etc.), and there is a risk that the pre-reading notice effect will be inappropriate.

Therefore, as shown in step 162SGS242a of the pre-reading notice setting process (see FIG. 284-23) of the above-mentioned feature unit 162SG, when the variable display remaining number after determination is equal to or less than the pre-reading limit number, the pre-reading notice effect is executed. By limiting, the look-ahead notice effect is inappropriate by preventing a large difference between the variation pattern suggested by the effect pattern of the look-ahead advance notice effect and the variation pattern actually selected in the variable display. It can be prevented from becoming.

Further, although not particularly shown in the feature unit 162SG, the effect control CPU 120 refers to the value of the effect ball ejection state flag in the jackpot middle effect process shown in FIG. 282, and refers to the value of the effect ball ejection state flag. By selecting the process table for the fanfare effect according to the above and controlling the effect device according to the value of the process timer, the fanfare effect according to the ball ejection state may be executed.

Further, although not particularly shown in the feature unit 162SG, the effect control CPU 120 refers to the value of the effect ball ejection state flag in the ending effect process shown in FIG. 282, and sets it as the value of the effect ball ejection state flag. The ending effect according to the ball ejection state may be executed by selecting the corresponding process table for the ending effect and controlling the effect device according to the value of the process timer.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 162SG, the CPU 103 executes the ball ejection state determination process shown in FIG. 284-13 to determine whether the ball ejection state is a low ball ejection state or a high ball ejection state. If it is determined that the ball ejection state is the high ball ejection state, the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to the high ball ejection state from "0" corresponding to the low ball ejection state. By setting the value according to "1", the fanfare production period, interval period, and ending production period during the big hit game are lengthened (adjustment to reduce the payout speed of the prize ball per unit time is started. ) Is possible. In addition, after setting the ball ejection status flag to "1", the value of the ball ejection status flag is set to "0" based on the fact that the variable display is executed 100 times, that is, the ball ejection state is set to high. By updating from the payout state to the low payout state, the fanfare production period, interval period, and ending production period during the big hit game are returned to the original period (the adjustment to reduce the payout speed of the prize ball per unit time is completed). ). For this reason, it is possible to reduce the number of prize balls paid out per unit time during the period of consecutive villas, and it is possible to prevent excessive increase in gambling due to excessive prize balls being paid out in a short period of time. ..

Further, in this feature unit 162SG, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is set from "0" to "1", as shown in FIG. 284-8, only the special figure variable display time of the non-reach fluctuation pattern is set. By prolonging the period and not prolonging the special figure variable display time of the fluctuation pattern of normal reach and super reach, the increase in the amount of data related to variable display is suppressed, and the variable display time of super reach and normal reach is lengthened. It prevents the decline of interest due to this.

In addition, in this feature unit 162SG, the adjustment to reduce the payout speed of the prize ball per unit time is started by setting the value of the payout state flag from "0" to "1", and the variable display of 100 times is displayed. An example is exemplified in a mode in which the adjustment for reducing the payout speed of the prize ball is terminated by setting the value of the payout state flag to "0" again based on the execution, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, it is based on the fact that it is equipped with a time measuring means (for example, a real-time clock or a timer) capable of measuring time, and the time measuring means measures a certain time (for example, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.) from the start of the adjustment. The adjustment may be completed. That is, the termination condition in the present invention may be "a certain time has elapsed during the period of the consecutive villa state after the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to" 1 "".

Further, in the present feature unit 162SG, as an end condition for ending the adjustment for reducing the payout speed of the prize ball per unit time, an example is provided in which only one variable display is executed 100 times. The present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of termination conditions for ending the adjustment for reducing the payout speed of the prize ball per unit time may be provided. When a plurality of end conditions for terminating the adjustment are provided in this way, the adjustment may be terminated when any one of the end conditions is satisfied, or the adjustment may be terminated when the plurality of end conditions are satisfied. The adjustment may be completed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-8, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to "1" or "2", that is, the ball ejection state is the first high ball ejection state or the second high ball ejection state. In the state, the special figure variable display time in the fluctuation pattern is set longer than when the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to "0" (when the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state). Therefore, by prolonging the period required for variable display, it is possible to lengthen the time interval until the variable display result becomes a big hit during the period of the consecutive villa state, and the number of prize balls paid out in the big hit game state can be increased. It is possible to reduce the payout speed of the prize balls during the period of the consecutive villa state without reducing it.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 284-20 and 284-21, when "1" or "2" is set as the value of the ball ejection state flag during the big hit game, the value of the ball ejection state flag is set. The fanfare effect period, interval period, and ending effect period during which the game ball cannot win the big prize opening are set longer than when "0" is set. Therefore, the game ball cannot be won in the big winning opening between each round game during the big hit game without reducing the number of game balls that can be won in each round game according to the value of the ball ejection state flag. The period can be extended, and the payout speed of prize balls per unit time during the period of the consecutive villa state can be reduced.

In this feature unit 162SG, when "1" or "2" is set as the value of the ball ejection state flag, it is a big hit game than when "0" is set as the value of the ball ejection state flag. An example is an example of a form in which a total of three periods of a fanfare production period, an interval period, and an ending production period are lengthened, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1" or "1". When "2" is set, any one of the fanfare production period, the interval period, and the ending production period during the jackpot game is set as compared with the case where "0" is set as the value of the ball ejection status flag. The two periods may be lengthened.

Further, in this feature unit 162SG, the value of the ball ejection state flag is updated from 0 to 1 to 2, so that the fanfare effect period, the interval period, and the ending effect period during the big hit game are gradually extended. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is updated from "0" to "1", the fanfare effect period, the interval period, and the ending effect period If one or two of these periods are lengthened and the value of the ball ejection status flag is updated from "1" to "2", the remaining period may be lengthened.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 284-11, when the CPU 103 executes the game control main process when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, if the recovery condition is not satisfied, the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to be low. Since "0" corresponding to the state is set, it is possible to prevent adjustments that reduce the payout speed of the prize balls per unit time from the start of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Furthermore, when the recovery upper limit is established, that is, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started again due to a power failure, "1" or "2" is set as the value of the ball ejection state flag when the power failure occurs. If it is set, the CPU 103 sets "1" or "2" as the value of the ball ejection status flag again, so that the adjustment to reduce the payout speed of the prize ball from the time when the pachinko gaming machine 1 recovers from the power failure is adjusted. Can be resumed.

In this feature unit 162SG, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 recovers from a power failure, if "1" or "2" is set as the value of the ball ejection state flag when the power failure occurs, the CPU 103 ejects a ball. Although the embodiment in which "1" or "2" is set again as the value of the state flag is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the pachinko gaming machine 1 recovers from the power failure, the ball is ejected. It is also possible to set "0" as the value of the state flag, that is, not to execute the adjustment for reducing the payout speed of the prize ball that was executed when the power failure occurred. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the amount of data to be stored as backup data when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is disconnected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-13, when the CPU 103 determines in the ball ejection state determination process that the ball ejection state is in a high ball ejection state, the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 is started to be lit by the control of the CPU 103. It is possible to recognize from outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 that the adjustment for reducing the payout speed of the prize ball is being executed by lighting the high payout state notification LED 162SG071.

Although the feature unit 162SG exemplifies a mode in which the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 can be turned on under the control of the CPU 103, the present invention is not limited to this, and the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 is an effect control. It may be an LED that can be turned on by the control of the CPU 120. In this case, for example, the game control means (CPU103) can transmit control information (effect control command) capable of specifying whether or not the high-granted state is provided to the effect control means (effect control CPU 120). Further, the effect control means should be provided with a notification means (high ball output state notification LED 162SG071) capable of notifying that the control is controlled to the high grant state according to the identification of the high grant state from the control information. Just do it.

Further, the feature unit 162SG exemplifies a mode in which the high ball ejection state notification LED 162SG071 is provided as a notification means capable of notifying that the high ball ejection state (high ball ejection state) is determined in the present invention. Is not limited to this, and the notification means includes a sound output means (for example, speakers 8L, 8R) for notifying that it is determined to be in a high ball ejection state by a specific sound output, and a high ball ejection state. An image display means (for example, an image display device 5) that notifies that a determination has been made by displaying a specific image, and an information output means that can output information (signal) according to the determination of a high ball output state. And so on.

Further, the control cycle for turning on / off the high ball output state notification LED 162SG071 shall be the same as the control cycle for turning on / off the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbol display device 20. Then, the CPU 103 can execute the notification by the high ball output state notification LED 162SG071 by the lighting / extinguishing control common to the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbol display 20. It has become.

Further, the CPU 103 executes the command control process shown in FIG. 278 after executing the transmission setting of the ball ejection state designation command in the ball ejection state determination process shown in FIG. 284-13, thereby causing the effect control board 12 (effect control). It is possible to send a ball ejection status specification command to the CPU 120). Then, as shown in FIGS. 284-27 and 284-28, the effect control CPU 120 identifies the ball ejection state from the received ball ejection state designation command in the advance notice effect determination process, and sets the specified ball ejection state to the specified ball ejection state. It is possible to determine whether or not to execute the advance notice effect during the variable display and the effect type of the advance notice effect to be executed by using the corresponding advance notice effect type determination table. In particular, in this feature unit 162SG, a notice effect (preliminary effect type) that can be executed in each of the case where the ball output state is the low ball output state, the first high ball output state, and the second ball output state. Is different, so it is possible to improve the game entertainment by executing the advance notice effect according to these ball ejection states.

In addition, in this feature unit 162SG, as shown in FIG. 284-28, it is executed in the case where the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state, the first high ball ejection state, and the second ball ejection state. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and the case where the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state and the case where the first high ball ejection state is the first high ball ejection state. , In the case of the second payout state, the noticeable effect (notice effect type) that can be executed is the same, but the determination ratio of each notice effect type may be different, and the payout state is low. In any of the cases of the ball state, the first high ball output state, and the second ball output state, the executable advance notice effect (notice effect type) and the determination ratio of each advance notice effect type are the same. There may be.

Further, in the present feature unit 162SG, it is possible to execute a notice effect suggesting that the variable display result becomes a big hit during the variable display, and an example is made in which the executeable notice effect type is different depending on the ball ejection state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, a probability change suggestion effect suggesting that the jackpot game is controlled to a probability change state after the end of the jackpot game, or the jackpot game is up to 10 rounds during the jackpot game. It is possible to execute a continuation suggestion effect that suggests continuation in a plurality of effect types, and the ball ejection state is a low ball ejection state, the first high ball ejection state, and the second high ball ejection state. In some cases, the determination ratios of the effect types that can be executed and the effect types that can be executed as the probabilistic change suggestion effect and the continuous suggestion effect may be different.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 284-23, the effect control CPU 120 can display the hold display of the new hold storage generated by the start winning in a plurality of display patterns by executing the look-ahead notice setting process. The pre-reading notice effect can be executed, and the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit differs depending on which display pattern the hold display is displayed. Further, in the feature unit 162SG, the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the pre-reading advance notice effect when the remaining number of variable displays after the determination is equal to or less than the pre-reading limit number in the pre-reading advance notice setting process (the hold display is normally white). Since it is displayed with a blank circle), when the pre-reading notice effect is executed for the reserved memory generated in the start winning in the first high ball output state or the second high ball output state, the pre-reading is performed. To prevent the pre-reading notice effect from becoming inappropriate due to the change of the ball output state to the low ball output state before the variable display based on the hold memory, which is the target of the advance notice effect, is started. It has become.

In addition, in this feature unit 162SG, when the ball ejection state is the first high ball ejection state or the second high ball ejection state, if the variable display remaining number after determination is equal to or less than the pre-reading limit number, the pre-reading notice effect is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the ball ejection state is the first high ball ejection state or the second high ball ejection state, the pre-reading notice effect is not uniquely executed. You may do so.

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

For example, in the feature unit 162SG, when the ball ejection state is the high ball ejection state, the fanfare production period, the interval period, and the ending production period during the big hit game are longer than those when the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, although adjustments have been made to reduce the payout speed of prize balls per unit time by prolonging the special figure variable display time of some fluctuation patterns. As a modification 162SG-1, when the ball ejection state is the high ball ejection state, the determination rate of the probabilistic jackpot A is lowered as the jackpot type and the probability variable jackpot B is lower than the case where the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state. You may increase the decision rate of. By doing so, when the ball ejection state is a high ball ejection state, it becomes easy to determine the probability variable jackpot B in which the number of rounds is 5 rounds as the jackpot type, and the probability variable jackpot A in which the number of lands is 10 rounds. Since it is difficult to determine, the number of prize balls to be paid out in one big hit game can be reduced, and as a result, adjustments can be made to reduce the payout speed of the prize balls in a high payout state.

Furthermore, as a modification 162SG-2, when the ball ejection state is a high ball ejection state, the probability variation jackpot (probability variation hit A, probability variation jackpot B, probability variation) is more important than when the ball ejection state is a low ball ejection state. By lowering the determination rate of the jackpot C) and increasing the determination rate of the non-probability variable jackpot, it may be easier to control the time saving state (low probability high base state) after the end of the jackpot game. By doing so, in the time saving state (low accuracy high base state), the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit is lower than in the probability variation state (high accuracy high base state), and as a result, 100 times in the time saving state. By executing the variable display of, it becomes easier to determine the end of the consecutive villa state and it becomes easier to control to the normal state, so that the number of consecutive big hit games can be reduced through the high base state, so that it is high. It is possible to realize an adjustment that reduces the payout speed of the prize ball in the ball ejection state. In this case, the "advantageous period end determination means" in the present invention is the processing of steps 162SGS190 to 162SGS194 (processing for determining the value of the time reduction counter and time reduction) in the special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. The part that executes the process of subtracting the value of the count counter, the process of determining the value of the time reduction counter after subtraction again, and the process of turning off the time reduction flag) corresponds to this.

Further, the CPU 103 of the feature unit 162SG changes the game state from the time saving state (low probability high base state) to the normal state (low probability low) based on the end of 100 variable displays after the end of the big hit game of the non-probability change big hit. Although the embodiment of controlling to the base state (base state), that is, ending the continuous villa state is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the CPU 103 has a high base state (high accuracy high base state, low accuracy high base). In the state), a high-base state fall lottery (end lottery) is executed every time the variable display is started in the special symbol normal processing or every time the variable display is finished in the special symbol stop processing, and the lottery is performed. Based on the winning, the high base state (high accuracy high base state, low accuracy high base state) may be controlled to the low accuracy low base state, that is, the consecutive villa state may be terminated. Regarding the case where the fall lottery is executed every time the variable display is started or the variable display is finished, for example, when the ball ejection state is the high ball ejection state, the ball ejection state is the low ball ejection state. It suffices to make it easier to win the fall lottery at a higher rate than in the case. By doing so, it becomes easier to determine the end of the consecutive villa state in the high ball output state and it becomes easier to control to the normal state, so that the number of consecutive big hit games generated through the high base state can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to realize an adjustment that reduces the payout speed of the prize ball in a high payout state. In this case, the "advantageous period end determination means" of the present invention is a process of executing a fall lottery when the CPU 103 starts variable display in the special symbol normal process or when the special symbol stop process is executed. , The process of turning off the probability change flag and the time saving flag when the fall lottery is won is applicable.

Further, in the feature unit 162SG, the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag from "1" or "2" to "0" on condition that the variable display is executed 100 times, that is, the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to "0". The first high ball output state and the second high ball output state are changed to the low ball output state on condition that the variable display is executed 100 times after being controlled to the first high ball output state and the second high ball output state. Although the mode to be controlled is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 162SG-3, the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to "1" and then sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to "1" and then sets the ball-out state flag to "1". The value of the ball ejection state flag is set to "0" based on the execution of the jackpot game a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) during the period, that is, the "end condition" in the present invention is set to the "ball ejection state flag". After setting the value of to "1", the jackpot game may be executed a predetermined number of times during the period of the consecutive villa state. " By doing so, the CPU 103 has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times), which is the number of times of execution of the big hit game executed after setting the value of the ball ejection state flag to "1". Therefore, the value of the ball ejection status flag can be reset from "1" or "2" to "0" again.

Further, in the feature unit 162SG, the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag from "1" or "2" to "0" on condition that the variable display is executed 100 times, that is, the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to "0". The first high ball output state and the second high ball output state are changed to the low ball output state on condition that the variable display is executed 100 times after being controlled to the first high ball output state and the second high ball output state. Although the mode to be controlled is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 162SG-4, the CPU 103 sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to "1" and then sets the value of the ball ejection state flag to "1" and then sets the ball-out state flag to "1". The value of the ball ejection status flag is set to "0" based on the fact that the total number of game balls that have won in each winning opening and the game balls that have entered the out opening has reached a predetermined number (for example, 1000 balls) during the period. That is, the number of game balls used for the game has reached a predetermined number during the period of the consecutive villa state after the "end condition" in the present invention is set to "the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to" 1 ". May be. By doing so, the CPU 103 outputs based on the fact that the number of game balls used for the game reaches a predetermined number (for example, 1000 balls) after the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to "1". The value of the ball state flag can be reset from "1" or "2" to "0" again.

Further, in the feature unit 162SG, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1" (first high ball ejection state) or "2" (second high ball ejection state), the special figure variable display in each fluctuation pattern is performed. An example is an example of performing an adjustment to reduce the payout speed of a prize ball in a high payout state by prolonging the time, but the present invention is not limited to this, and depends on the value of the payout state flag. Therefore, adjustments may be made to reduce the payout speed of the prize balls in a high payout state by making the determination ratio of each fluctuation pattern different.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 284-30 and 284-31 as a modified example 162SG-5, the variation pattern for loss for when the value of the ball ejection state flag is "0" (low ball ejection state). Judgment table A, deviation pattern judgment table B for when the value of the ball ejection state flag is "1" (first ball ejection state), the value of the ball ejection state flag is "2" (second ball ejection state) ), A variation pattern determination table C for loss is provided.

As shown in FIG. 284-30 (A), in the deviation pattern determination table A, among the possible ranges 1 to 997 of the random value MR3 for the deviation pattern determination, 1 to 600 are non-reach variation patterns PA1. It is assigned to -1, 601 to 900 are assigned to the normal reach variation pattern PA2-1, and 901 to 997 are assigned to the super reach variation pattern PA2-2.

As shown in FIG. 284-30 (B), in the deviation pattern determination table B, among the possible ranges 1 to 997 of the random value MR3 for the deviation pattern determination, 1 to 400 are non-reach variation patterns PA1. It is assigned to -1, and 401 to 800 are assigned to the normal reach variation pattern PA2-1, and 801 to 997 are assigned to the super reach variation pattern PA2-2.

As shown in FIG. 284-30 (C), in the deviation pattern determination table C, 1 to 200 of the possible ranges 1 to 997 of the random value MR3 for the deviation pattern determination are non-reach variation patterns PA1. It is assigned to -1, and 201 to 700 are assigned to the normal reach variation pattern PA2-1, and 701 to 997 are assigned to the super reach variation pattern PA2-2.

Here, when the deviation pattern determination table A and the deviation variation pattern determination table B are compared, the ratio in which the deviation pattern determination table B determines the non-reach variation pattern more than the deviation pattern determination table A. On the other hand, the rate at which the fluctuation pattern of normal reach and super reach is determined is set high. That is, the deviation pattern determination table B is a variation pattern determination table in which a variation pattern having a longer variable display time than the detachment variation pattern determination table A can be easily determined.

Further, when the deviation pattern determination table B and the deviation variation pattern determination table C are compared, the ratio in which the non-reach variation pattern is determined in the deviation variation pattern determination table C is higher than that in the deviation pattern variation pattern determination table B. On the other hand, the rate at which the fluctuation pattern of normal reach and super reach is determined is set high. That is, the deviation pattern determination table C is a variation pattern determination table in which a variation pattern having a longer variable display time than the detachment variation pattern determination table B can be easily determined.

That is, in the deviation pattern determination table A, the deviation pattern determination table B, and the deviation variation pattern determination table C, the deviation pattern determination table C has the longest average variable display time, and the deviation pattern determination table. A has the shortest average variable display time.

Then, as shown in FIG. 284-31, when the value of the ball ejection state flag is "0" and the variable display result is out of order, the out-of-order variation pattern determination table A is selected to select the variation pattern. If the variable display result is out of alignment when the value of the payout status flag is "1", the outlier variation pattern determination table B is selected to determine the variation pattern, and the payout status flag is set. If the variable display result is out of alignment when the value is "2", the outlier variation pattern determination table B may be selected to determine the variation pattern. In this way, by determining the fluctuation pattern using the fluctuation pattern determination table according to the value of the payout state flag, it is possible to execute the adjustment to reduce the payout speed of the prize ball in the high payout state.

Further, in the feature unit 162SG, the "advantageous state" in the present invention is set as the jackpot gaming state, and the jackpot gaming state is controlled a specific number of times (five times in the feature unit 162SG) during the period of the consecutive villa state. Although the embodiment in which the value of the payout state flag is set from "0" to "1" is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the "advantageous state" in the present invention includes a small hit gaming state. But it may be. In particular, the present invention has the game property that the small hit game state can be frequently controlled during the period of the consecutive villa state, and the prize ball is paid out by winning the game ball to the large winning opening in these small hit game states. When applied to a machine (so-called small hit rush machine), the total number of times controlled to the big hit gaming state and the number of times controlled to the small hit gaming state during the period of the consecutive villa state is a specific number of times (for example, 100). By setting the value of the payout state flag from "0" to "1" based on the fact that the number of times has been reached, it is possible to realize an adjustment that reduces the payout speed of the prize ball in the high payout state.

Further, in the feature unit 162SG, when the game is controlled to the jackpot game state of the non-probability variable jackpot, the time saving control is executed several times by the variable display 100 times after the jackpot game. The non-probability variable jackpot may be provided in which the number of time reduction controls executed after the jackpot game is completed is less than 100 (for example, 50 or 30). When a non-probable variable jackpot such as 50 or 30 times of time reduction control is provided in this way, the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to "1" or "2" (high ball ejection state). After the execution of the non-probability change jackpot game, when the variable display of the time reduction control number according to the non-probability variation jackpot is executed, the variable display is executed 100 times after the value of the ball ejection state flag is set to "1". Even if it is not, the value of the ball ejection state flag may be set to "0". In other words, if the non-probability change jackpot is won in the consecutive villa state, and the jackpot is not won in the short time state after the end of the jackpot game of the non-probability change jackpot, and the normal state is reached, the normal state is reached. Originally, the adjustment to reduce the payout speed of the prize ball in the high payout state may be completed.
