(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 symbol that is out of the normal symbol) is stopped and displayed as the confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol is "out of the normal symbol". 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 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 number (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes "big hit" and the jackpot symbol. If a special symbol different from the above (missing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it is "missing". The "missing" in the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes a "missing time reduction" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time saving state) without going through the jackpot game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting change state in which the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be changed is set, and the setting is set from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the set value is displayed on the display monitor 29, and 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 the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to enter the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined error processing on the main side, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, the jackpot information (information indicating the number of times the jackpot has occurred) and the start information (starting) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information such as the number of times of winning and the probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of the probability change state) are output (step S23).

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

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

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

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

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When 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 in step S27 shown in FIG. 4, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

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

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

When making various decisions based on the random number value, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (a table in which the decision value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the decision result) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

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

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

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

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

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

The process of opening the jackpot in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. In this big hit opening process, the big winning opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is opened, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to return the 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.

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

As shown in FIG. 7A, when the variable special figure is the first special figure, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range is 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken and compared with the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hits", and 65317 to 65535 are "with time reduction". It is assigned to "out of place", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "out of place". Further, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the probable change state, 1020 to 1346 of the above-mentioned hit determination values are assigned to "big hit", and the other numerical range is "missing". Assigned. It should be noted that the case where the variable special map has the set value of 2 to 6 in the first special map and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 7 (A).

As shown in FIG. 7B, when the variable special figure is the second special figure, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range is 0 to 65535. It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values compared with the random value MR1 for judging the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65425 are "with time reduction". It is assigned to "out of place", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "out of place". Further, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the probable change state, 1020 to 1346 of the above-mentioned hit determination values are assigned to "big hit", and the other numerical range is "missing". Assigned. It should be noted that the case where the variable special figure has the set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 7 (B).

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit judgment value assigned to "big hit" and "missing time saving" in each display result judgment table, as shown in FIG. 8, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. In the display result determination table for the first special figure in the above, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the jackpot determination values for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the display result judgment table for the second special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit judgment values is the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of.

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

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

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

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

In the display result judgment table for the second special figure when the game state is the probability change state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values is a common numerical value of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit regardless of the set value. It is set to the range. The features of the other display result determination table for the second special figure are the same as those of the display result determination table for the first special figure.

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

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

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

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and sets the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the origin position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

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

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

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are made. For example, the read effect control command may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that which effect control command is received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process 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. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the 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, for example, the RAM 122.

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

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

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

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

The jackpot effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect process, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to the value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. Update to ", and end the production process during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and various effect controls of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

(Direction control command)
FIG. 11-3 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 064SG. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is "0". The command form shown in FIG. 11-3 (A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 11-3 (A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. .. The command 8002H is a second variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a symbol (also referred to as an effect symbol). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the content of instruction by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data are set according to the variation pattern to be specified.

The command 8CXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (B), the determination result (predetermined result) of whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing" or "big hit". ) Or, different EXT data are set according to the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is set when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (B), the command 8C00H is the first variable display result designation command indicating a preliminary determination result 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 "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 "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 "big hit C" and the big hit type determination result.

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 jackpot game. The command A1XXH is a notification command during the opening of the big winning opening, which notifies that the big winning opening is in the open state in the big hit game state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after opening the big winning opening that notifies that it is a period during which the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big hit game state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for designating the display of the effect image at the end of the big hit game.

In the hit start specification command and the hit end specification command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the big hit type determination result, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result specification command. .. Alternatively, in the hit start designation command or the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result designation command. .. In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big winning opening, for example, the number of round executions (for example, "1" to "10") in the normal 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 start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) is generated. , The second start opening winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

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

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

The commands shown in FIG. 11-3 (A) are examples, and may not have some of these commands, or different commands may be used in place of these commands. You may add a command different from the command in. For example, a prize ball number notification command for making it possible to specify the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of a game ball at each winning opening, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41. A passage notification command, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times that the probability change control or the time reduction control is executed, or the like may be provided.

(Random value)
FIG. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 11-4, in the feature unit 064SG, 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 a game control counter setting unit (not shown), and updates various numerical data by software to obtain random numbers MR1 to MR4. Numerical data indicating a part may be counted.

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

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.

(Special figure display result judgment table)
FIG. 11-5 shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 064SG uses a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The individual special figure display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, it is referred to to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. It is a table to be played.

In the special figure display result determination table in the feature unit 064SG, the special figure display result determination table is characterized according to whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the special figure display result judgment table, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment determines whether or not to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state. It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in the feature unit 064SG, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state (high probability state), more judgment values are set 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 determined (about 1/300 in this feature unit 064SG) (about 1 in this feature unit 064SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, it is determined that when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as compared with the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that the probability is high.

(Big hit type judgment table)
FIG. 11-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table in the feature unit 064SG 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 (second). The numerical values (judgment values) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type are "big hit A", "big hit B", and "big hit C" depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to multiple types of jackpots such as.

Here, the jackpot type in the feature unit 064SG will be described with reference to FIG. 11-6 (B). In the feature unit 064SG, the jackpot type includes high accuracy control and time saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming state. "Big hit A" and "Big hit B" that are executed and shift to the high accuracy high base state, and shift to the high accuracy low base state where the high accuracy control is executed but the time saving control is not executed after the end of the big hit game state. "Big hit C" is set.

The big hit game state by the "big hit A" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the big hit game state by the "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 five rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state advantageous to the player. The big hit game state by the "big hit C" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state advantageous to the player. Therefore, when "big hit A" is called a 10-round (10R) probable big hit, "big hit B" is called a 5-round (5R) probable big hit, and "big hit C" is called a 10-round (10R) probable big hit. There is.

The high-accuracy control and the time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the jackpot A and the jackpot B are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurs again is either the big hit A or the big hit B, the high accuracy control and the time saving control are executed again after the end of the big hit gaming state, so that the big hit gaming state goes through the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive villa state that occurs continuously without any.

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state by the jackpot C is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature unit 064SG), or the special figure game is executed the predetermined number of times. It ends when it becomes a big hit game state before it is played.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), "big hit A" and "big hit" 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 "B" and "big hit C" 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 set to the big hit type of "big hit B" with a small number of rounds. On the other hand, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the second special figure, the determination value is not assigned to the big hit type of "big hit B". 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 "big hit B" with a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not decided to control the big hit state with a small number of rounds by setting the big hit type to "big hit B". In a game state in which a game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by the ball device 6B, it is possible to avoid frequent occurrence of a big hit state in which a small number of prize balls are obtained and to prevent the game interest from deteriorating. ing.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), the allocation of the determination value for the jackpot type of "big hit C" 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 "big hit B" differs depending on whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and the "big hit A" is assigned. The allocation of judgment values also differs depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and for "big hit A" with a large number of rounds, it is the case of the special figure game of the second special figure. Is set so that it is easier to determine than in 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 assigned to the big hit type of "big hit B". May be good. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, a smaller determination value than in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure may be assigned to the big hit type of "big hit B". 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.

(Variation pattern)
FIG. 11-7 is a diagram showing a variation pattern used in the variable display of the special symbol of the feature unit 064SG. In this feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIG. 11-7, as a variation pattern in which the variable display result is out of order, the special figure variable display time is 12000 ms, which is non-reach loss (PA1-1) without shortening in the normal state. Figure: Shortened non-reach loss (PA1-2) when the variable display time is 5750 ms in the normal state with 3 reserved memories of the same type, and shortened non-reach loss (PA1-3) when the special figure variable display time is 3000 ms in the shortened state. , Special figure variable display time is 20,000 ms N reach loss (PA2-1), special figure variable display time is 50,000 ms SP reach loss (PA2-2), special figure variable display time is 60,000 ms SP reach loss (PA2-3) ), Each variation pattern of SP reach loss (PA2-4) with a special figure variable display time of 70,000 ms is provided.

Further, as a fluctuation pattern in which the variable display result becomes a big hit, the N reach big hit (special figure variable display time is 20000 ms + 15000 ms) having a big hit notification period of 15000 ms after the variable display of 20000 ms in which the reach effect of N reach is executed. PB1-1), SP reach A jackpot (PB1-2), SP reach A jackpot (PB1-2), which has a jackpot notification period of 15,000 ms (special figure variable display time is 50,000 ms + 15,000 ms) after the variable display of 50,000 ms in which the reach effect of SP reach is executed. SP reach B jackpot (PB1-3) having a jackpot notification period of 15,000 ms (special figure variable display time is 60,000 ms + 15,000 ms) after the variable display of 60,000 ms, and the reach effect of SP reach is executed. Each variation pattern of SP reach C jackpot (PB1-4) having a jackpot notification period of 15,000 ms (special figure variable display time is 70,000 ms + 15,000 ms) is provided after the variable display of 70,000 ms.

(Variation pattern determination method)
FIG. 11-8 is an explanatory diagram of a method for determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 064SG. In this feature unit 064SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed, the jackpot type, the game state, the number of reserved storages, and the like.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11-8, if the gaming state is the normal state, the variable display result is the big hit, and the big hit type is the big hit A or the big hit B, the big hit variation pattern determination table A is selected. Using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, the variation patterns are PB-1 (variation pattern of N reach jackpot), PB1-2 (variation pattern of SP reach A jackpot), and PB1-3 (variation of SP reach B jackpot). Pattern) and PB1-4 (variation pattern of SP reach C jackpot). Specifically, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, PB1-1 is determined at a ratio of 1%, PB1-2 is determined at a ratio of 4%, PB1-3 is determined at a ratio of 35%, and PB1-4 is determined at a ratio of 65%.

Further, if the gaming state is a normal state, the variable display result is a big hit, and the big hit type is a big hit C, the big hit variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation is made using the big hit variation pattern determination table B. The pattern is determined from PB-1 (variation pattern of N reach jackpot), PB1-2 (variation pattern of SP reach A jackpot), and PB1-3 (variation pattern of SP reach B jackpot). Specifically, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table B, PB1-1 is determined at a ratio of 5%, PB1-2 is determined at a ratio of 30%, and PB1-3 is determined at a ratio of 65%.

If the gaming state is a normal state and the variable display result is a big hit, the jackpot variation pattern determination table C is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB-1 (N reach) using the jackpot variation pattern determination table C. It is determined from the fluctuation pattern of the jackpot), PB1-2 (variation pattern of the SP reach A jackpot), and PB1-3 (variation pattern of the SP reach B jackpot). Specifically, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table C, PB1-1 is determined at a ratio of 70%, PB1-2 is determined at a ratio of 10%, and PB1-3 is determined at a ratio of 20%.

Further, when the gaming state is the normal state, the variable display result is out of alignment, and the number of reserved storages in the same special drawing as the special drawing for executing the variable display is 2 or less, the deviation pattern determination table A is used. Select, and use the deviation pattern determination table A to set the variation patterns to PA1-1 (variation pattern of non-reach loss without shortening), PA2-1 (variation pattern of N reach loss), and PA2-2 (SP reach A). It is determined from the deviation pattern), PA2-3 (SP reach B deviation fluctuation pattern), and PA2-4 (SP reach C deviation fluctuation pattern). Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table A, the ratio of PA1-1 is 54%, PA2-1 is 40%, PA2-2 is 3%, PA2-3 is 2%, and PA2-4 is 1%. To decide with.

Further, when the game state is the normal state, the variable display result is out of alignment, and the number of reserved storages in the same special figure as the special figure for executing the variable display is 3, the variation pattern determination table B for loss is selected. Then, using the deviation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation patterns are set to PA1-2 (variation pattern of shortened non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of N reach loss), and PA2-2 (SP reach A loss pattern). Fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (variation pattern out of SP reach B), PA2-4 (variation pattern out of SP reach C). Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table B, the ratio of PA1-2 is 64%, PA2-1 is 30%, PA2-2 is 3%, PA2-3 is 2%, and PA2-4 is 1%. To decide with.

Further, when the gaming state is the time saving state and the variable display result is out of order, the deviation pattern variation pattern determination table C is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PA1-3 (time reduction) using the deviation pattern determination table C. Determined from shortened non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern), PA2-1 (N reach out-of-reach variation pattern), PA2-2 (SP reach A out-of-reach variation pattern), PA2-3 (SP reach B out-of-reach variation pattern) do. Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table B, PA1-3 is determined at a ratio of 74%, PA2-1 is determined at 20%, PA2-2 is determined at 4%, and PA2-3 is determined at a ratio of 2%.

(Variation pattern setting process)
FIG. 11-9 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 6 as the variation pattern setting process. In the fluctuation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 11-9, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 064SGS161). Then, if the jackpot flag is turned on (step 064SGS161; Y), it is further determined whether or not the time saving flag is turned on (step 064SGS162). When the time saving flag is on (step 064SGS162; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table C is selected and the process proceeds to step 064SGS175.

When the time saving flag is not in the ON state (step 064SGS162; N), it is determined whether or not the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B (step 064SGS164). When the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B (step 064SGS164; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected and the process proceeds to step 064SGS175 (step 064SGS165), and when the jackpot type is jackpot C (step 064SGS164). N) selects the jackpot variation pattern determination table B and proceeds to step 064SGS175 (step 064SGS166).

Further, when the jackpot flag is in the off state in step 064SGS161 (step 064SGS161; N), it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is in the on state (step 064SGS168). When the time saving flag is on (step 064SGS168; Y), the deviation pattern determination table C is selected and the process proceeds to step 064SGS175 (step 064SGS169), and when the time saving flag is off (step 064SGS168; N). Determines whether or not the number of reserved symbols for executing variable display is 2 or less (step 064SGS170).

When the number of reserved special symbols for executing variable display is 2 or less (step 064SGS170; Y), the outlier variation pattern determination table A is selected, the process proceeds to step 064SGS175 (step 064SGS171), and variable display is executed. When the number of reserved special symbols to be stored is three (step 064SGS170; N), the deviation pattern determination table B is selected and the process proceeds to step 064SGS175 (step 064SGS173).

In step 064SGS175, the CPU 103 is out of the jackpot variation pattern determination tables A to C selected (set) based on numerical data indicating the variation pattern determination random number value MR3 stored in, for example, the variation random number buffer. By referring to any of the fluctuation pattern determination tables A to C, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types (step 064SGS175).

When the jackpot flag is off, the variable display mode is determined by the process of step 064SGS175 to determine whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach". That is, the process of step 064SGS 175 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 064SGS175, the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B according to the fluctuation special symbol designation buffer value. A setting is made to start the variation of the special symbol so as to start any of the special map games using the second special symbol (step 064SGS176). 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 064SGS176, settings for transmitting various commands used at the start of fluctuation of the special symbol are set (step 064SGS177). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a first variable display start command, a variable pattern designation command, and a variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially send the result specification command and the first hold storage number notification command, the game control buffer setting unit uses the setting data indicating the storage address (start address) in the ROM 101 of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance. 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 variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a second variable display start command, a variable pattern designation command, and a variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the result specification command and the second hold storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is provided in the game control buffer setting unit. Stores in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer.

After executing the process of step 064SGS177, the special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol according to the determination result of the fluctuation pattern, is set (step 064SGS178). The special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is required from the start of the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the finalized special symbol, which is the variable display result (special symbol display result), is stopped and displayed. It's time. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "2", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation processing (step 064SGS179), and then the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

After that, the CPU 103 executes the special symbol variation process (step S112 in FIG. 6) and the special symbol stop process (step S113 in FIG. 6) to execute the variable display of the special symbol. Further, when the variable display of the jackpot variation pattern is completed and the control of the jackpot gaming state is started, the jackpot opening process (the jackpot opening process) is performed after the fanfare period in which the jackpot opening preprocessing (step S114 in FIG. 6) is executed. By executing step S115) in FIG. 6 and post-processing after opening the jackpot (step S116 in FIG. 6), the round game in which the jackpot opens and closes is executed a number of times according to the jackpot type. Then, after the round game of the number of times corresponding to the big hit type is executed, the big hit game state is completed after the ending period in which the big hit end process (step 117 in FIG. 6) is executed, and then the game state is changed according to the big hit type. By controlling the game state and executing the special symbol normal process to the special symbol stop process, the variable display of the special symbol is executed.

The fanfare period is a waiting period from when the CPU 103 starts controlling the big hit game state to when the round game is executed and the big winning opening is opened, and the effect control CPU 120 is the fanfare. It is possible to execute a fanfare effect that notifies that the game is controlled to a big hit game state during the period. The ending period is a waiting period from the end of the round game execution with the CPU 103 closed to the end of the big hit game state, and the effect control CPU 120 is the big hit game in this ending period. It is possible to execute an ending effect that notifies the end of the state. That is, the jackpot game state is composed of a fanfare period, a round game period in which the round game is executed, and an ending period.

Of these, the round game period includes a winning period in which a game ball can be won in the large winning opening when the large winning opening is opened. The period other than the winning period in the big hit game state is also a winning difficult period in which it is difficult for the game ball to win the big winning opening because the big winning opening is closed. That is, the advantageous state that is advantageous to the player may include the winning period in which the big winning opening is open as at least a part of the round game period in the big hit game state.

(Reach production of SP reach)
Next, the effects that can be performed in the feature unit 064SG will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 11-10, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the SP reach A, the SP reach effect A1 and the SP reach effect A2, and in the variable display of the variation pattern of the SP reach B, the SP reach effect B1 and the SP reach In the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the effect B2 and the SP reach C, the SP reach effect C1 and the SP reach effect C2 can be executed.

Of these, the SP reach production A1 has a battle confrontation between the ally character "Jam" and the enemy character X1, and as a result of the battle confrontation, the "Jam" wins and the "Jam" is defeated. Then, it is a production to notify each of the deviations. SP Reach A2 is a production in which a battle confrontation between a friendly character "Jam" and an enemy character X1 is performed, and as a result of the battle confrontation, "Jam" is once defeated and then revived to win.

In addition, the SP reach production B1 has a battle confrontation between the ally character "Jam" and the enemy character X2, and as a result of the battle confrontation, the "Jam" wins and the "Jam" is defeated. It is a production to notify each of the deviations. SP Reach B2 is a production in which a battle confrontation between a friendly character "Jam" and an enemy character X2 is performed, and as a result of the battle confrontation, "Jam" is once defeated and then revived to win.

Then, in the SP reach production C1, the friendly characters "Jam" and "Rim" perform a battle confrontation with the enemy character X2, and as a result of the battle confrontation, "Jam" and "Rim" win, which is a big hit. The defeat of "Jam" and "Rim" is a production that informs each of the gaps. SP Reach C2 is a production in which the friendly characters "Jam" and "Rim" have a battle confrontation with the enemy character X2, and as a result of the battle confrontation, Ja and "Rim" are once defeated and then revived to win. be.

As shown in FIGS. 11-8, the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C is a fluctuation pattern with a higher expectation of a big hit than the fluctuation patterns of SP reach A and SP reach B, and the fluctuation pattern of SP reach B is SP reach. Since it is a fluctuation pattern with a higher expectation of jackpot than the fluctuation pattern of A (expectation of jackpot of SP reach fluctuation pattern: SP reach C> SP reach B> SP reach A), jackpot expectation is expected for the reach production of SP reach. Excluding the SP reach effect A2, the SP reach effect B2, and the SP reach effect C2, which have a degree of 100%, the SP reach effect C1 has the highest expectation of a big hit, and the SP reach effect A1 has the lowest expectation of a big hit. (SP reach production jackpot expectation: SP reach production A2 = SP reach production B2 = SP reach production C2> SP reach production C1> SP reach production B1> SP reach production A1).

(Prophecy production, cut-in production, movable body production, fanfare production)
As shown in FIG. 11-11 (A), the effect control CPU 120 can execute "predictive symbol stop fanning effect", "predictive effect", "cut-in effect", and "movable body effect" during variable display. Is. Furthermore, at the start of the big hit game, "fanfare production" can be executed.

The "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" is an effect that can be executed when it is decided not to execute the "predictive effect" or the execution of the "predictive effect" at the second timing, which will be described later, and is a display of the image display device 5. It is an effect of inciting a temporary stop of the prophetic symbol (prophetic symbol 064SG110) shown in FIG. 11-11 (D) in the region. When the prophetic symbol is temporarily stopped as a result of the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect", the "predictive effect" is executed after the temporary stop of the prophetic symbol. In other words, the "prophetic symbol stop fanning effect" is also an effect that fuels the execution of the "prophetic effect". Although the details will be described later, when the prophecy symbol is temporarily stopped (when the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" is executed and the prophetic symbol is temporarily stopped), the prophetic symbol is not temporarily stopped ("predictive symbol stop fanning"). The jackpot expectation is set higher than when "effect" is executed and the prophecy symbol does not temporarily stop, and when the prophecy symbol does not temporarily stop ("prophecy symbol stop fanning effect" is executed and the prophecy symbol is provisional. (When not stopped), the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" is not executed (big hit expectation: predictive symbol temporary stop> prophetic symbol non-stop> prophetic symbol stop fanning effect non-execution. ).

Further, the "prophetic effect" is an effect that can be executed by the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the SP reach, and the occurrence of the first event (awakening of "jam" during the battle confrontation) and the second during the variable display. Occurrence of an event (highlighting of "rim" during battle confrontation) or occurrence of a second event during "fanfare production" in a jackpot game state when the variable display result is a jackpot (battle confrontation) It is a production that notifies (predicts) the awakening of "jam" in advance), and is a specific character different from the above-mentioned "jam" and "rim", enemy character X1 and enemy character X2 before the reach production of SP reach. The "first prophetic production" in which a certain "mumu" predicts the occurrence of the first event, and the "mumu" which is a specific character different from the above-mentioned "jam" and "rim", and the enemy character X1 and the enemy character X2 are the first. 2 Includes "second prophetic production" that predicts the occurrence of an event.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-11 (B), the "first prophetic effect" is "the first timing" before the reach or the "second timing" after the reach during the battle confrontation. After performing the first prophecy display (display of "Mum" and display of "Jam will awaken") that predicts that "Jam" will awaken, the notification display that announces the awakening of "Jam" during the battle confrontation ( "Mum" is displayed and "Coming" is displayed), and an event is displayed ("Jam" awakening) to notify that the first event (awakening of "jam") will occur at the timing before the SP reach reach production result notification. It is a production that displays "jam awakening").

In addition, the "second prophecy production" is a second prophecy display that predicts that "rim" will be highlighted during the battle confrontation at the "first timing" before the reach or the "second timing" after the reach. After displaying "Mum" and "I can see the rim"), the notification display ("Mum" display and "Coming" display) that announces the highlighting of "Rim" during the battle confrontation is displayed. Further, it is notified that the second event (highlighting of "rim") will occur in the "fanfare effect" in which the timing before the SP reach effect effect notification or the variable display ends and the big hit game is started. It is an effect to display the event (highlighting of "rim").

As shown in FIGS. 11-11 (B) and 11-11 (C), the first is performed as the "first prophecy effect" or the "second prophecy effect" at the timing before the SP reach reach effect result notification. When an event (awakening of "jam") occurs, it is suggested that the variable display result will be a big hit (big hit expectation) due to the occurrence of the first event, and "second prophetic production". If the second event (highlighting of "rim") occurs at the timing of "fanfare effect", the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B due to the occurrence of the second event, that is, the jackpot game ends. It is suggested that it will be controlled to the probabilistic state later (probability change expectation).

As shown in FIG. 11-11 (A), the details of the "first prophecy effect" and the "second prophecy effect" will be described later, but the "second prophecy effect" is the "first prophecy effect". The expectation of a big hit is set higher than that of "Direction". Further, regarding the timing of displaying the prediction, the jackpot expectation is set higher in the case of displaying the prediction at the second timing than in the case of displaying the prediction at the first timing.

Further, in the "cut-in effect", when it is decided not to execute the "predictive effect" in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the SP reach, the first event occurs by displaying the cut-in display instead of the "predictive effect". (Awakening of "jam" during battle confrontation) or occurrence of a second event (highlighting of "rim" during battle confrontation). The "cut-in effect" is "cut-in effect A" that notifies the occurrence of the first event (awakening of "jam" during the battle confrontation) during the SP reach effect, and the occurrence of the second event during the SP reach effect. Includes "cut-in effect B" to notify (highlighting of "rim" during battle confrontation). In these "cut-in effect A" and "cut-in effect B", the "cut-in effect B" is set to have a higher expectation of big hit than the "cut-in effect A".

"Movable body effect" is an effect that can be executed in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of SP reach, and is an effect that can be performed by a friendly character ("jam" or "jam" and "rim") and an enemy character (enemy character X1 or enemy character X2). At the end of the battle confrontation with the player, after the operation promotion display prompting the player to operate the push button 31B is performed, the movable body 32 is operated by the operation of the push button 31B to make a big hit or the push. It is an effect (also referred to as a "decision effect") of notifying the detachment when the movable body does not operate by operating the button 31B. That is, in the "movable body effect", when the movable body 32 is operated by the operation of the push button 31B, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the movable body 32 is not operated by the operation of the push button 31B.

As described above, the "fanfare effect" is an effect executed at the start of the jackpot game, and the start of the jackpot game and whether or not the jackpot is a jackpot A or a jackpot B (whether or not it is a probability variation jackpot). It is a production to inform. While the "fanfare effect" is being executed, the event display (second event display) of the "second prophecy effect" may be displayed on the image display device 5 as described above.

(About decorative patterns)
In the present embodiment, the decorative design is composed of a number display 064SG101 consisting of numbers "1" to "9" and a pedestal display 064SG102 displayed on a display layer (rear side) lower than the number display 064SG101. Includes predetermined decorative symbols to be made (see FIG. 11-23 (A)). The pedestal display 064SG102 is formed in a substantially square shape so as to surround the numbers "1" to "9" displayed on the number display 064SG101, and is displayed in a predetermined display color (for example, white). , It is a display mode common to all numbers ("1" to "9").

Further, the decorative pattern constitutes a specific character display 064SG111 indicating a specific character (for example, "Mum" predicting the occurrence of an event), a decorative display 064SG112 imitating a crystal ball as a decoration, and characters of "prophecy". It includes a character display 064SG113 and a prophetic symbol 064SG110 (see FIG. 11-24 (K3) and the like) which is a specific decorative symbol composed of the character display 064SG113.

More specifically, the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed so that the specific character faces the front side from the annular frame, and the decorative display 064SG112 is a spherical crystal ball having a size capable of covering the entire area of the specific character display 064SG111. The specific character display 064SG111 is transparently displayed on the front side display layer, and the character display 064SG113 is displayed on the front side display layer of the decorative display 064SG112.

This prophetic symbol 064SG110 can appear only when the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" is executed, and like a predetermined decorative symbol, a predetermined decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination or a predetermined decorative symbol that is not a jackpot combination. It is a special decorative symbol that does not constitute a fixed decorative symbol of the reach combination (“out of reach”).

Further, the prophecy symbol 064SG110 changes to a mode in which the decorative display 064SG112 is scattered by the impact of the temporary stop display when the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is stopped and displayed, and the specific character display 064SG111 is the specific character "Mum". The first aspect of praying with the hands closed and the hands together is changed to the second aspect of the specific character "Mum" spreading his hands forward with his eyes closed and foretelling the prophecy. The display 064SG113 changes from "prophecy" to the character (message) of "accept fate" corresponding to the dialogue sound. A detailed display example of the prophetic symbol 064SG110 will be described later.

(Direction flow in SP reach A to C (outline))
Next, the flow (outline) of the effect in SP reach A to C will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-12 to 11-15. FIG. 11-12 is a tree diagram showing the flow of production in SP reach A to C. FIG. 11-13 is a tree diagram showing the flow of production in SP reach A to C. 11-15 is a tree diagram showing the flow of production in SP reach A to C. It should be noted that the following is only an outline of the flow of production, and some details are omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 11-12 (A1), when the variable display of the special symbol based on any of the fluctuation patterns of SP reach A to C is started, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5 are started. The variable display of the decorative pattern is started in. When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable display, if it is decided not to execute the "prophecy effect" or the "operation promotion effect" that promotes the operation of the push button 31B, first, first. A predetermined decorative symbol (for example, "6") is temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5L on the left side (see FIG. 11-12 (B1)), and then the decorative symbol display area 5L is displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5R on the right side. The same decorative symbol (for example, "6") as the decorative symbol temporarily stopped is displayed temporarily, and the variable display mode becomes the reach mode (see FIG. 11-12 (B2)), which develops into SP reach effect. do.

In the case of variable display based on the non-reach deviation pattern, a predetermined decorative symbol (for example, "6") is temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5L on the left side (see FIG. 11-12 (B1)). After that, a decorative symbol (for example, "7") different from the decorative symbol temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5L on the right side is temporarily stopped and displayed, and the variable display mode is the reach mode. Instead, after the predetermined decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in the central decorative symbol display area 5C, the fixed decorative symbol of the predetermined combination (also referred to as "non-reach off") that is not the jackpot combination and the reach combination is stopped and displayed. , The variable display ends (see FIGS. 11-12 (B3) and (B4)).

Further, when it is decided to execute the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect", after the variable display mode becomes the reach mode as shown in FIG. 11-12 (B2), it is shown in FIG. 11-12 (D1). Proceedingly, "Prophecy design stop fanning production" is started.

Further, when the predetermined time elapses from the start of the variable display, if the execution of the "operation promotion effect" is decided, the button display 064SG091 imitating the push button 31B and the operation such as "press!" The promotion display 064SG092 and the gauge display 064SG093 indicating the remaining period of the operation valid period are displayed (see FIG. 11-12 (C1)). At the execution period of the "operation promotion effect", that is, at the timing when the pressing operation of the push button 31B is detected before the predetermined operation valid period elapses, or at the timing when the operation valid period elapses without detecting the pressing operation, " When the execution of the "predictive effect" at the first timing is determined, the "predictive effect" is executed (see FIGS. 11-12 (C2) to (C8)), and the variable display mode becomes the reach mode (FIG. 11-12 (see C9)), which develops into SP reach production.

Further, the "prophetic effect" is the "first prophetic effect" in which the first prophetic display (see FIG. 11-12 (C7)) that predicts the occurrence of the first event (awakening of "jam") is displayed. There is a "second prophetic effect" in which a second prophetic display (see FIG. 11-12 (C8)) that predicts the occurrence of two events (highlighting of "rim") is displayed.

If a predetermined time has elapsed since the variable display based on the non-reach deviation pattern was started and the execution of the "operation promotion effect" is decided, the push is made by the time the predetermined operation valid period elapses. After the effect display 064SG094 is displayed at the timing when the pressing operation of the button 31B is detected or the operation valid period elapses without the pressing operation being detected, a predetermined combination that is not a jackpot combination or a reach combination (“non-reach loss”). The fixed decorative symbol (also referred to as) is stopped and displayed, and the variable display ends (see FIGS. 11-12 (C10) and (C11)).

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-12 (B2), when the execution of the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" is determined after the variable display mode is changed to the reach mode, the deceleration display of the prophetic symbol 064SG110 is displayed. After the start (see FIGS. 11-12 (D1) to (D3)) and the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is temporarily stopped and displayed (see FIG. 11-12 (D4)), the specific character "Mum" starts the prophecy effect. (See FIGS. 11-12 (D5) to (D10)).

In the case of variable display based on the fluctuation pattern of N reach loss, the prophetic symbol 064SG110 that was displayed in deceleration passes without being temporarily stopped, and a predetermined reach combination (“reach loss”) that is not a big hit combination is confirmed. The symbol is stopped and displayed, and the variable display ends (see FIGS. 11-12 (D11) and (D12)).

After the specific character "Mum" has announced the start of the prophetic effect in FIGS. 11-12 (D5) to (D8), the prophetic effect is started (FIGS. 11-12 (D9), (D10), FIG. 11 -14 (D11)-(D16)), which develops into SP reach production.

Further, the "prophetic effect" is the "first prophetic effect" in which the first prophetic display (see FIG. 11-14 (D15)) that predicts the occurrence of the first event (awakening of "jam") is displayed. There is a "second prophetic effect" in which a second prophetic display (see FIG. 11-14 (D16)) that predicts the occurrence of two events (highlighting of "rim") is displayed.

In this way, the "prophecy effect" is when the first prophecy display and the second prophecy display are displayed at the first timing before the variable display mode becomes the reach mode (FIGS. 11-12 (C2) to (C8). ) And when the variable display mode is displayed at the second timing after the reach mode (see FIGS. 11-12 (D9), (D10), FIGS. 11-14 (D11) to (D16). ) And.

It is notified that it is a big hit A or a big hit B, which is a probabilistic big hit, the fanfare production ends, and the round game starts.

(Variable display start setting process)
Next, the operation of the effect control CPU 120 will be described. 11-17 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 10. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is on (step 064SGS271). When the first variable display start command reception flag is on (step 064SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning reception command buffer are set. The various command data and various flags stored in association with each other are shifted higher by one buffer number (step 064SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off in step 064SGS271 (step 064SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 064SGS273). When the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 064SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and when the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 064SGS273; 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 at the time of start winning, for one buffer number. It shifts to the upper side one by one (step 064SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

After executing step 064SGS272 or step 064SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern specification command storage area (step 064SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) and the variation pattern (step 064SGS276). 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 064SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, "7" as a stop symbol. Determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbol) aligned with. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the 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 designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the jackpot C, the effect control CPU 120 is, for example, a combination of decorative symbols in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as stop symbols. (Big hit design) is decided. Further, if the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is a non-reach variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as stop symbols. Determine the combination of symbols (missing symbols). If the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the reach variation pattern, the left and right symbols are the same as the stop symbol, but the middle symbol is medium. Determine the combination of reach misses (missing symbols) with different symbols.

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

Then, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the fluctuation pattern, the variable display result, and the jackpot type (step 064SGS277), and determines whether or not the specified fluctuation pattern is the SP reach fluctuation pattern (step 064SGS278). When the specified variation pattern is a non-reach or N-reach variation pattern (step 064SGS279; N), a process table corresponding to the variation pattern is selected and the process proceeds to step 064SGS290 (step 064SGS279), and the specified variation pattern is SP. In the case of the reach variation pattern (step 064SGS278; Y), the reach effect according to the variation pattern is determined (step 064SGS282).

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-10, when the specified fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern out of SP reach A, the reach effect is determined to be the SP reach effect A1 in which "jam" is defeated, and the specified variation pattern is set. In the case of the fluctuation pattern of the SP reach A jackpot, the reach effect is determined to be the SP reach effect A1 or the SP reach effect A2 processed by the "jam", and if the specified variation pattern is the variation pattern out of the SP reach B, the variation pattern is determined. , If the reach effect is determined to be the SP reach effect B1 in which "jam" is defeated, and the specified variation pattern is the variation pattern of the SP reach B jackpot, the reach effect is processed by the "jam" SP reach effect B1 or SP. If the variation pattern specified is the SP reach effect B2 and the specified variation pattern is the SP reach effect C1, the reach effect is determined to be the SP reach effect C1 in which "jam" is defeated, and the specified variation pattern is the SP reach C hit. In the case of the fluctuation pattern of, the reach effect may be determined to be the SP reach effect C1 or the SP reach effect C2 processed by the “jam”.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table according to the reach effect determined as the fluctuation pattern (step 064SGS283), and determines whether or not to execute the "predictive effect" according to the variable display result and the jackpot type (step 064SGS283). Step 064SGS284). For example, as shown in FIG. 11-19 (A), when the variable display result is out of alignment, the prophecy effect execution decision table A is selected and a random value for the prophecy effect execution decision that can take a value of 1 to 100. Is extracted, and the execution / non-execution of the "predictive effect" is determined by comparing the extracted random value for predictive effect execution decision and the judgment value set in the predictive effect execution decision table A according to the fluctuation pattern. As shown in FIG. 11-19 (B), when the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, the prediction effect execution determination table B is selected and a value of 1 to 100 is taken. By extracting the obtained random value for predictive effect execution decision and comparing the extracted random value for predictive effect execution decision with the determination value set in the predictive effect execution decision table B according to the fluctuation pattern, the "predictive effect" is performed. When execution / non-execution is determined and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit C as shown in FIG. 11-19 (C), the prediction effect execution decision table C is selected and 1 to 1 to By extracting a random value for predictive effect execution decision that can take a value of 100, and comparing the extracted random number value for predictive effect execution decision with the determination value set in the prophecy effect execution decision table C according to the fluctuation pattern. Decide whether or not to execute the "prophecy effect".

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-19 (A), in the prediction effect execution decision table A, when the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A, among the determination values from 1 to 100. , 10 judgment values are assigned to the execution of the "prophecy effect", and 90 judgment values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophecy effect". Of these, 10 judgment values are assigned to the execution of the "prophecy effect" and 90 judgment values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophecy effect". Of these, one judgment value is assigned to the execution of the "prophecy effect" and 99 judgment values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophecy effect". The execution / non-execution of the "prophecy effect" is determined by determining whether or not it is included in the determination value assigned to the non-execution. That is, when the variable display result is out of alignment, if the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A, the execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 10%, and the non-execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 90%. If the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach B, the execution of "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 10%, and the non-execution of "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 90%, and the variation pattern is the variation pattern of SP reach C. If so, the execution of the "prophetic effect" is determined at a rate of 1%, and the non-execution of the "prophetic effect" is determined at a rate of 99%.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-19 (B), in the prediction effect execution decision table B, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of SP reach A, among the determination values from 1 to 100, "prediction effect". 10 judgment values are assigned to the execution, and 90 judgment values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophecy effect". 20 judgment values are assigned to the execution of "effect" and 80 judgment values are assigned to non-execution of "prophecy production". If the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C, "1 to 100 judgment values" 20 judgment values are assigned to the execution of the "prophecy effect" and 80 judgment values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophecy effect". The execution / non-execution of the "prophecy effect" is determined by determining whether or not it is included in the assigned determination value. That is, when the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, if the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A, the execution of "predictive effect" is 10%, and the "predictive effect" is If the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach B, the non-execution is determined at a rate of 90%, the execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 80%. If the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C, the execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 80%.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-19 (C), in the prediction effect execution decision table C, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of SP reach A, among the determination values from 1 to 100, "predictive effect". 10 judgment values are assigned to the execution, and 90 judgment values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophecy effect". 20 judgment values are assigned to the execution of the "effect" and 80 judgment values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophecy effect". The execution / non-execution of the "prophecy effect" is determined by determining whether or not it is included in the determined determination value. That is, when the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit C, if the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A, the execution of the "predictive effect" is executed by 10% and the non-execution of the "predictive effect" is performed. It is determined at a rate of 90%, and if the variation pattern is a variation pattern of SP reach B, the execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a rate of 80%.

That is, in the present feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-19 (A) to 11-19 (C), when paying attention to the variable display result, if the variable display result becomes a big hit, the variable display result is The execution of the "prophetic effect" is decided at a higher rate than in the case of an outlier. Further, paying attention to the case where the variable display result is a big hit, when the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, the execution of the "predictive effect" is determined at a higher rate than when the big hit type is big hit C. It has become like.

Returning to FIG. 11-17, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the “predictive effect” is executed in step 064SGS284, and then determines whether or not the “predictive effect” is executed in the step 064SGS284 (step). 064SGS285). When it is determined not to execute the "predictive effect" (step 064SGS285; N), whether or not the "cut-in effect" is executed and the effect pattern are determined according to the variable display result and the jackpot type (step 064SGS285a).

In step 064SGS285a, as shown in FIGS. 11-18, the effect pattern determination table of the “cut-in effect” is selected, and the random value for the effect pattern determination of the “cut-in effect” that can take a value of 1 to 100 is extracted. Then, the effect pattern of the "cut-in effect" is determined by comparing the extracted random value for determining the effect pattern of the "cut-in effect" with the determination value set in the effect pattern determination table of the "cut-in effect". .. Specifically, in the effect pattern determination table of the "cut-in effect", if the variable display result is out of order, 70 of the judgment values from 1 to 100 are not executed for the "cut-in effect". When 20 judgment values are assigned to "cut-in effect A" and 10 judgment values are assigned to "cut-in effect B", and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, Of the judgment values from 1 to 100, 10 judgment values are assigned to non-execution of "cut-in effect", 40 judgment values are assigned to "cut-in effect A", and 50 judgment values are assigned to "cut-in effect B", which are variable. When the display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit C, 50 of the judgment values from 1 to 100 are not executed in the "cut-in effect" and 50 are in the "cut-in effect A". 0 determination values are assigned to "cut-in effect B".

That is, when it is decided not to execute the "predictive effect", if the variable display result is out of order, 70% of the non-execution of the "cut-in effect", 20% of the execution of the "cut-in effect A", and "cut". If the execution of "in effect B" is determined at a rate of 10% and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, the non-execution of "cut-in effect" is 10% and "cut-in". If the execution of "effect A" is determined at a rate of 40% and the execution of "cut-in effect B" is determined at a rate of 50%, and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit C, the "cut-in effect" is not. The execution is determined at a rate of 50%, the execution of "cut-in effect A" is 50%, and the execution of "cut-in effect B" is 0%. In other words, when it is decided not to execute the "prophecy effect", paying attention to the variable display result, when the variable display result is a big hit, the "cut-in" is performed at a higher rate than when the variable display result is out of order. When executing "effect" and executing "cut-in effect B" at a higher rate than when the variable display result is out of order, in other words, when executing "cut-in effect B", "cut-in effect A" When executing, the case where "cut-in effect" is not executed, the case where "cut-in effect B" is executed is set to have the highest jackpot expectation, and the case where "cut-in effect" is not executed is the most. The jackpot expectation is set low (cut-in effect jackpot expectation: cut-in effect B> cut-in effect A> cut-in effect not executed).

Furthermore, when the variable display result is a big hit, when the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, the "cut-in effect" is executed at a higher rate than when the big hit type is big hit C, and the big hit is performed. When the type is the jackpot C, the "cut-in effect B" is executed at a higher rate, in other words, when the "cut-in effect B" is executed, when the "cut-in effect A" is executed, the "cut" is executed. When "in effect" is not executed, the rate of being controlled to the probable change state (probability change expectation) after the end of the big hit game is set to be the highest when "cut in effect B" is executed, and "cut in effect" is set. The rate of control to the probable change state after the end of the big hit game (probability change expectation) is set to the lowest when is not executed (probability change expectation of cut-in effect when the variable display result is a big hit: cut-in effect B) > Cut-in effect A> Cut-in effect not executed).

Returning to FIG. 11-17, after executing step 064SGS285a, the effect control CPU 120 sets the execution of the “cut-in effect” based on the determination result in the step 064SGS285a (for example, the “cut-in effect” determined in step 064SGS285a. Select the process table of "cut-in effect" according to the effect pattern ("cut-in effect A" or "cut-in effect B"), and set the timer waiting for the start of "cut-in effect") (step 064SGS285b). ), Proceed to step 064SGS293.

Further, when the execution of the "predictive effect" is determined in step 064SGS285 (step 064SGS285; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect pattern of the "predictive effect" according to the reach effect, the variable display result, and the jackpot type.

In step 064SGS286, when the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A or SP reach B, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (A), the prophecy effect pattern determination table A is selected and a value of 1 to 100 is selected. A random value for determining a possible prediction effect pattern is extracted, and the extracted random value for determining a prediction effect pattern and a judgment value set in the prediction effect pattern determination table A are set according to the reach effect, jackpot type, variable display result, etc. By comparing, the effect pattern of "prophecy effect" is determined, and when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of SP reach C, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (B), the prophecy effect pattern determination table B is selected and A random value for determining a prophecy effect pattern that can take a value of 1 to 100 is extracted, and the extracted random number value for determining a prophecy effect pattern and a judgment value set in the prophecy effect pattern determination table B are used as SP reach effect type and jackpot. The effect pattern of "prophecy effect" is determined by comparing according to the type, variable display result, and the like.

Specifically, in the prediction effect pattern determination table A, the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, and the reach effect type of SP reach does not go through the resurrection, and "jam" wins the enemy character. In the case of the SP reach effect A1 or the SP reach effect B1, among the determination values from 1 to 100, 30 determination values are assigned to the effect pattern YPA-1 and 70 determination values are assigned to the effect pattern YPB-1. If the variable display result is a jackpot and the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B and the reach effect type of SP reach is SP reach effect A2 or SP reach effect B2 in which "jam" wins the enemy character via resurrection. Of the judgment values from 1 to 100, 20 judgment values are assigned to the effect pattern YPA-1 and 80 judgment values are assigned to the effect pattern YPB-1, the variable display result is a big hit, and the big hit type is a big hit C. In some cases, 100 judgment values are assigned to the effect pattern YPA-1 among the judgment values from 1 to 100, and when the variable display result is out of order, the judgment values from 1 to 100 are assigned. Of these, 100 determination values are assigned to the effect pattern YPA-1.

That is, when the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A or SP reach B, the variable display result is a jackpot, the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B, and the reach effect to be executed is SP reach effect A1 or SP reach effect B1. If so, the notice effect pattern is determined to be YPA-1 at a rate of 30%, YPB-1 at a rate of 70%, the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, and the reach effect to be executed is SP. If it is reach effect A2 or SP reach effect B2, the notice effect pattern is determined to be YPA-1 at a rate of 20% and YPB-1 at a rate of 80%, and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit C. For example, the advance notice effect pattern is determined to be YPA-1 at a rate of 100%, and if the variable display result is out of order, the advance notice effect pattern is determined to be YPA-1 at a rate of 100%.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (D), the production pattern YPA-1 of the "prophecy production" is a prediction that "jam" is awakened during the battle confrontation as the above-mentioned "first prophecy production". After displaying (displaying "Mum" and "Jam will awaken"), a notification display (displaying "Mum" and "Coming"" will be displayed to notify the awakening of "Jam" during the battle confrontation. ) Is an effect pattern that suggests a big hit before the variable display result is notified. Further, the effect pattern YPA-1 in the "predictive effect" is executed on the condition that the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is either big hit A to big hit C, or the variable display result is out of order. It is an effect pattern that can be determined when the reach effect to be performed is any one of the SP reach effect A1, the SP reach effect A2, the SP reach effect B1, and the SP reach effect B2.

The effect pattern YPB-1 in the "prophecy effect" is a prophecy display that "rim" is highlighted as the above-mentioned "second prophecy effect" (display of "mumu" and display of "rim can be seen"). After performing, the jackpot type can be jackpot A or jackpot B (probability change) by displaying a notification (display of "mumu" and display of "coming") to notify the highlighting of "rim" during "fanfare production". It is a production pattern that suggests that it is a big hit). Further, in the effect pattern YPB-1 in the "prophecy effect", the reach effect to be executed is SP reach effect A1 or SP on condition that the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is either big hit A or big hit B. It is an effect pattern that can be determined when any of the reach effect A2, the SP reach effect B1, and the SP reach effect B2.

Also, in the prediction effect pattern determination table B, the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, and the reach effect type of SP reach is revived, and "jam" and "rim" win the enemy character X2. In the case of the SP reach effect C1, 30 determination values are assigned to the effect pattern YPA-1 and 70 determination values are assigned to the effect pattern YPB-1 among the determination values from 1 to 100, and the variable display result is obtained. Is a big hit, the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, and the reach production type of SP reach is SP reach C2 where "jam" and "rim" win the enemy character X2 via resurrection, from 1 to 100. Of the judgment values of, 20 are assigned to the effect pattern YPA-1 and 80 are assigned to the effect pattern YPB-1, and when the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit C, Of the judgment values from 1 to 100, 100 judgment values are assigned to the effect pattern YPA-1, and if the variable display result is out of order, the effect pattern is out of the judgment values from 1 to 100. 100 determination values are assigned to YPA-1.

That is, when the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C, if the variable display result is a jackpot, the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B, and the reach effect to be executed is SP reach effect C1, the advance notice effect pattern is 30. If YPA-2 is determined at a rate of%, YPB-2 is determined at a rate of 70%, the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, and the reach effect to be executed is SP reach effect C2, a notice effect is given. The pattern is determined to be YPA-2 at a rate of 20% and YPB-2 at a rate of 80%, and if the variable display result is out of order, the notice effect pattern is determined to be YPA-2 at a rate of 100%.

When the jackpot type is jackpot C, it is not determined by the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C (see FIG. 11-8). Therefore, in the prediction effect pattern determination table B, when the jackpot type is jackpot C. Is not determined in any of the production patterns of YPA-1, YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (D), in the production pattern YPA-2 of the "prophecy effect", "rim" is highlighted during the battle confrontation as the above-mentioned "second prophecy effect". After displaying the prophecy of "Mum" (displaying "Mum" and "I can see" Rim "), a notification display (displaying" Mum "and" Coming "to notify the highlighting of" Rim "during a battle confrontation. This is an effect pattern that suggests a big hit before the variable display result is notified by performing the display). Further, the effect pattern YPA-2 in the "prophecy effect" is executed on the condition that the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is either big hit A or big hit B, or the variable display result is out of order. It is an effect pattern that can be determined when the reach effect to be performed is either the SP reach effect C1 or the SP reach effect C2.

The effect pattern YPB-2 in the "prophecy effect" is a prophecy display that "rim" is highlighted as the above-mentioned "second prophecy effect" (display of "mumu" and display of "rim can be seen"). After performing, the jackpot type can be jackpot A or jackpot B (probability change) by displaying a notification (display of "mumu" and display of "coming") to notify the highlighting of "rim" during "fanfare production". It is a production pattern that suggests that it is a big hit). Further, in the effect pattern YPB-2 in the "prophecy effect", the reach effect to be executed is SP reach effect C1 and SP on condition that the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is either big hit A or big hit B. It is an effect pattern that can be determined when it is any of the reach effect C2.

From the above, as shown in FIGS. 11-19 (A) to 11-19 (D) and 11-20 (A) to 11-20 (C), the "prophetic effect" in the feature unit 064SG is , When the execution of the "second prophetic effect" is decided, the jackpot expectation and the probability change expectation (expectation that the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B) are set to be the highest, and the "predictive effect" is set. When non-execution is decided, the jackpot expectation and the probability change expectation are set to be the lowest (big hit expectation and probability change expectation: 2nd prophecy effect> 1st prophecy effect> no prophecy effect). In particular, regarding the second prophetic effect, the effect pattern YPA-2 is an effect pattern that can be determined both when the variable display result is a big hit and when the variable display result is a big hit, and when the variable display result is a big hit. This is an effect pattern that can be determined only when the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B. On the other hand, the effect patterns YPB-1 and YPB-2 are effect patterns that can be determined only when the variable display result is a big hit, and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B. Since it is an effect pattern that can be determined only when The probability variation expectation of patterns YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2 is set to 100%.

In this feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (C), when the effect pattern of the prophecy effect is YPB-1 or YPB-2, the jackpot expectation is set to 100%. The present invention is not limited to this, and if the effect pattern of the prophecy effect is YPB-1 or YPB-2, the expectation of a big hit is higher than that when the effect pattern of the prophecy effect is YPA-2. The jackpot expectation may be set to less than 100%. Further, although the jackpot expectation is set to be the same depending on whether the effect pattern of the prediction effect is YPB-1 or YPB-2, the present invention is not limited to this, and the prediction effect is not limited to this. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on whether the effect pattern of is YPB-1 or YPB-2.

Further, in this feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (C), when the effect pattern of the prophecy effect is YPA-2, YPB-1, or YPB-2, the probability variation expectation is set to 100%. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the effect pattern of the prophecy effect is YPA-2, YPB-1, YPB-2, the effect pattern of the prophecy effect is YPA-1. If the probability variation expectation is higher than that, the probability variation expectation may be set to less than 100%. Further, the probability variation expectation is set to be the same depending on whether the effect pattern of the prophetic effect is YPA-2, YPB-1, or YPB-2, but the present invention is limited to this. The probabilistic expectation may be different depending on whether the effect pattern of these prophetic effects is YPA-2, YPB-1 or YPB-2.

Further, in FIGS. 11-17, after the effect pattern of the “predictive effect” is determined, the effect control CPU 120 determines the start timing of the prediction (start timing of the prophecy display) according to the determined effect pattern of the “predictive effect”. Is determined (step 064SGS287). In the process of step 064SGS287, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A), the prediction start timing determination table is selected, and the prediction start timing determination random value that can take a value of 1 to 100 is extracted and extracted. By comparing the random value for determining the prediction start timing and the judgment value set in the prediction start timing determination table according to the effect pattern of "prediction effect", the start timing of the prediction is set to the first timing which is the timing before reach. It is determined from the second timing, which is the timing after the reach.

More specifically, in the prediction start timing determination table, when the effect pattern of the "prophecy effect" is YPA-1, 80 of the determination values from 1 to 100 are set to the first timing and the second timing. When 20 judgment values are assigned and the production pattern of "prophecy effect" is YPA-2, 20 of the judgment values from 1 to 100 are assigned to the first timing and 80 to the second timing. When the judgment value of is assigned and the effect pattern of the "prophecy effect" is YPB-1 or YPB-2, 0 of the determination values from 1 to 100 are assigned to the first timing and the second timing. 100 determination values are assigned.

That is, when the effect pattern of the "prophecy effect" is YPA-1, which is the "first prophecy effect", the prediction start timing is determined to be the first timing at a rate of 80% and the second timing at a rate of 20%. , When the effect pattern of "prophecy effect" is YPA-2, which is "second prophecy effect", the prophecy start timing is determined to be the first timing at a rate of 20% and the second timing at a rate of 80%. When the effect pattern of the "prophecy effect" is either YPB-1 or YPB-2, the prophecy start timing is determined to be the second timing at a rate of 100%.

From the above, in this feature unit 064SG, in both the case where the execution of the "first prophecy effect" is decided and the case where the execution of the "second prophecy effect" is decided, the first timing and the second The prophecy display can be executed from the timing, and when the execution of the "first prophecy effect" is decided, the prophecy display can be determined at the second timing at a rate of 20%. When the execution of the "second prophecy effect" is decided, the prophecy display can be decided at the second timing at a rate of 80% or 100%. That is, when the execution of the "second prophecy effect" (display of the second prophecy display corresponding to the "second prophecy effect") is decided, the execution of the "first prophecy effect" ("second prophecy effect") is determined. It is possible to determine the start of the prophecy display from the second timing at a higher rate than when the display of the second prophecy display according to the above is determined).

In particular, the "first prophecy effect" is an effect that can be executed when the variable display result is a big hit, while the big hit type is one of the big hit A, the big hit B, and the big hit C. "2 Prophecy effect" can be executed for the case where the variable display result is a big hit, because the big hit type is either big hit A or big hit B (see Fig. 11-20 (D)). , When the prediction start timing is the second timing (when the prediction display is started after the reach), the player is more than when the prediction start timing is the first timing (when the prediction display is started before the reach). On the other hand, the prediction display is started as the "second prophecy effect", that is, the player's expectation is improved that the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B when the variable display result is a jackpot. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the execution of the "second prophecy effect".

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (C), with respect to the effect patterns YPA-1 and YPA-2 of the prophetic effect, YPA-2 is set to have a higher expectation of big hit than YPA-1. Therefore, from FIGS. 11-20 (C) and 11-21 (A), in this feature unit 064SG, the jackpot expectation is set to be the lowest when the prediction effect is not executed, and the prediction effect reaches. When it is executed from the first timing before, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the prediction effect is not executed. When the prediction effect is executed from the second timing after the reach, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the prediction effect is executed from the first timing (depending on the non-execution and execution timing of the prediction effect). Big hit expectation: Execute at the 2nd timing> Execute at the 1st timing> Non-execution).

In the feature unit 064SG, both the "first prophecy effect" and the "second prophecy effect" exemplify a mode in which the prophecy display can be started at the first timing and the second timing, but the present invention is limited to this. The prophetic effect of at least one of the "first prophetic effect" and the "second prophetic effect" can start the prophetic display at the timing of only one of the first timing and the first timing. May be good.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (C), with respect to the prophetic production patterns YPA-1 and YPA-2, YPA-2 is set to have a higher probability change expectation than YPA-1. Therefore, from FIGS. 11-20 (C) and 11-21 (A), in this feature unit 064SG, the probability change expectation is set to be the lowest when the prediction effect is not executed, and the prediction effect is set. When the prediction effect is executed from the first timing before the reach, the probability change expectation is set higher than the case where the prediction effect is not executed. When the prophetic effect is executed from the second timing after the reach, the probability change expectation is set higher than that when the prophetic effect is executed from the first timing (depending on the non-execution and execution timing of the prophetic effect). Probability change expectation: Execution at the second timing> Execution at the first timing> Non-execution).

In the feature unit 064SG, when the execution of the "second prophecy effect" is decided, the display timing of the prophecy display (second prophecy display) can be determined from the first timing and the second timing. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification, when the execution of the "second prophecy effect" is determined, the display timing of the prophecy display (second prophecy display) is set. It may be uniquely determined at the second timing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (B), in the prediction start timing determination table in the modified example, when the production pattern of the "prediction effect" is YPA-1, the determination from 1 to 100 is made. Of the values, 80 judgment values are assigned to the first timing and 20 judgment values are assigned to the second timing, and the production pattern of the "prophecy effect" is one of YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2. In the case, 100 determination values are assigned to the second timing among the determination values from 1 to 100.

That is, when the effect pattern of the "prophecy effect" is YPA-1, which is the "first prophecy effect", the prediction start timing is determined to be the first timing at a rate of 80% and the second timing at a rate of 20%. , If the production pattern of "prophecy production" is any of YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2, which are "second prophecy production", the prediction start timing is determined to be the second timing at a rate of 100%. do.

Here, comparing YPA-1 which is the "first prophecy production" with YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2 which are the "second prophecy production", "first prophecy production" and "second prophecy production" are compared. Both the "directing" can start the prediction from the first timing and the second timing, but the "second prophecy directing" can start the prediction only from the second timing. By doing so, in this modification, if the prediction display is not displayed from the first timing and becomes Lee, whether or not the prediction display is displayed from the second timing (whether or not the prediction is started). Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to (?), It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Returning to FIG. 11-17, the effect control CPU 120 executes the process of step 064SGS287, and then sets the execution of the “predictive effect” according to the determined effect pattern of the “predictive effect” and the prediction start timing (for example, (for example, (for example)). , Select the process table of "Prophecy effect" according to the effect pattern of "Prophecy effect" determined in step 064SGS286 and Step 064SGS287 and the start timing of the prophecy, and set the start waiting timer of "Prophecy effect"). Step 064SGS288), it is determined whether or not the start timing of the prophecy determined in step 064SGS287 is the first timing (step 064SGS289).

When the start timing of the prophecy determined in step 064SGS287 is the second timing (step 064SGS289; N), the process proceeds to step 064SGS290, and when the start timing of the prophecy determined in step 064SGS287 is the first timing (step 064SGS289; Y). Goes to step 064SGS293.

In step 064SGS290, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the “predictive symbol stop fanning effect” is executed and the effect pattern according to the fluctuation pattern and the effect pattern.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-22, the predictive symbol stop fanning effect execution decision table is selected, and the random value for determining the prophetic symbol stop fanning effect that can take a value of 1 to 100 is extracted and extracted. By comparing the random value for determining the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect and the judgment value set in the prediction symbol stop fanning effect execution decision table according to the fluctuation pattern, the execution / non-execution of the "prophecy symbol stop fanning effect" and the prophecy symbol Determine the production pattern of the stop fanning effect.

More specifically, in the prediction symbol stop fanning effect execution decision table, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of the SP reach jackpot, the effect pattern of "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" out of the judgment values from 1 to 100. When 100 judgment values are assigned to the execution in RAP-2 and the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the N reach jackpot, among the judgment values from 1 to 100, the non-prophetic symbol stop fanning effect When 100 judgment values are assigned to the execution and the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern out of SP reach, among the judgment values from 1 to 100, the production pattern RAP-2 of "predictive symbol stop fanning effect". When 100 judgment values are assigned to the execution in, and the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern out of N reach, 70 of the judgment values from 1 to 100 are not executed for "Prophecy symbol stop fanning effect". 30 judgment values are assigned to the execution of the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" in the effect pattern RAP-1, and if the variation pattern is a non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern, the determination values from 1 to 100. Of these, 100 determination values are assigned to the non-execution of the "prophetic symbol stop fanning effect".

Here, the effect pattern RAP-1 is an effect pattern in which the prophecy symbol does not temporarily stop (temporary stop failure) as an effect result of the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect", and the effect pattern RAP-2 is a "predictive symbol stop fanning effect". This is an effect pattern in which the prophetic symbol is temporarily stopped (temporarily stopped) as a result of the effect.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 11-22, since the execution of the second timing of the prophecy effect is determined for the fluctuation pattern of the SP reach jackpot and the SP reach loss, the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect is performed regardless of the variable display result. By executing the effect pattern RAP-2, the prophetic symbol is always temporarily stopped. In addition, regarding the fluctuation pattern of N reach deviation, it is possible to execute the prophetic symbol stop fanning effect at a lower rate than in the case of the SP reach fluctuation pattern, and whenever the execution of the prophetic symbol stop fanning effect is decided. RAP-1 is selected as the effect pattern.

Therefore, in each fluctuation pattern of SP reach jackpot, SP reach off, and N reach off, whether or not the prophecy symbol is temporarily stopped by executing the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect (the effect pattern of the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect is RAP). It is possible to improve the game interest by drawing the player's attention to (Which is -1 or RAP-2).

As for the fluctuation patterns of the N reach jackpot and the non-reach deviation, since the prophetic symbol stop fanning effect is not executed, it is also prevented that the game entertainment is deteriorated by the excessive execution of the prophetic symbol stop fanning effect.

Returning to FIG. 11-17, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the predicted symbol stop fanning effect is determined in step 064SGS290 (step 064SGS291). If it is decided not to execute the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect (step 064SGS291; N), the process proceeds to step 064SGS293, and if it is decided to execute the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect (step 064SGS291; Y), the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect is stopped. Execution setting of the fanning effect (for example, selection of the process table of "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" according to the effect pattern of "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" determined in step 064SGS290, and waiting for the start of "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" (Set of timer) is performed (step 064SGS292), and the process proceeds to step 064SGS293.

Further, in step 064SGS293, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step 064SGS293). If the variable display result is out of order (step 064SGS293; N), the process proceeds to step 064SGS295, and if the variable display result is a big hit (step 064SGS293; Y), the execution setting of the "fanfare effect" according to the big hit type (for example). , Select the process table of "fanfare effect" according to the jackpot type) (step 064SGS294), and proceed to step 064SGS295.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in step 064SGS279 (step 064SGS279). 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 064SGS296). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control lighting / extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 064SGS297). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 064SGS298). 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 the image data to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, whereby variable display (variation) of the decorative pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 064SGS283).

In this way, in the feature unit 064SG, the "predictive production" that predicts the occurrence of the first event (awakening of "jam") and the second event (highlighting of "rim") in which the expectation of big hit and the expectation of probability change increase. After displaying the first prophecy display or the second prophecy display that predicts the occurrence of the first event or the second event at the first timing before the reach of the SP reach effects A to C and the second timing after the reach. , Since the first event and the second event occur when the predetermined period elapses (at the end of the battle confrontation or at the start of the big hit), the first event and the second event are displayed after the first prophecy display and the second prophecy display are displayed. By reducing the standby display 064SG051 and 064SG052 to the left end of the display screen during the period until the two events occur, the first event and the second event can be displayed without disturbing the display of the SP reach effects A to C. It can be noted that it will occur later.

In addition, since the notification display is displayed immediately before the first event or the second event occurs and then the first event display or the second event display is displayed, a long period of time has passed since the prediction display was displayed. Even when the first event or the second event occurs, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the occurrence of the first event display or the second event display.

In addition, the predicted event occurs not only at the time of 1 but also at either before the notification of the variable display result (first time) or at the start of the big hit after the notification of the variable display result (second time). In addition to this, the degree of expectation that is suggested differs depending on the time of occurrence, so that it is possible to pay attention to whether the predicted event occurs in the first time or the second time, so that the interest in the game is improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (C), the second prophecy effect is executed and controlled to the jackpot gaming state of jackpot A or jackpot B (the gaming state is controlled to the probability changing state after the jackpot game ends). The ratio is set higher when the first prophecy effect is executed and controlled to the jackpot gaming state of jackpot A or jackpot B, that is, when the second prophecy effect is executed, the first Since the probability change expectation is set higher than when the prophecy effect is executed, the player decides which of the first prophecy effect and the second prophecy effect is executed during the variable display. Can be noticed.

In particular, in this feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (D), the variable SP reach effect C1 and the SP reach effect C2, which have higher expectation of big hits than the SP reach effect A1 and the SP reach effect B1, are executed. It is suggested that the big hit expectation or the probability change expectation is high by the appearance of the fanfare effect after the variable display in which the display or the variable display result is the big hit and the big hit type is the big hit A or the big hit B, that is, the appearance of "rim". By executing the second prophetic effect for the effect, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the execution of the second prophetic effect, and to improve the interest of the game. Can be done.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (A), when the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A or SP reach B, if the variable display result is out of order, the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit. When A or jackpot B (the game state is controlled to the probabilistic state after the jackpot game ends), when the variable display result is a jackpot and the jackpot type is jackpot C (the game state is not controlled to the probabilistic state after the jackpot game ends). In either case, the prophecy effect can be executed by the effect pattern YPA-1 (first prophecy effect), so that when the first prophecy effect is executed, the player first receives a variable display result. It is possible to pay attention to whether or not it is a big hit, and when the variable display result is a big hit, whether or not the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B (the game state is probable after the big hit game is completed). Whether or not it is controlled by the state) can also be noticed. That is, when the prophetic effect is executed by the effect pattern YPA-1, it is possible to continuously improve the game entertainment not only during the variable display but also during the fanfare effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (B), when the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C, there are cases where the variable display result is out of order, and cases where the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit. In the case of B (the game state is controlled to the probable change state after the big hit game is completed), the prophetic effect can be executed by the effect pattern YPA-2 or YPB-2 which is the second prophetic effect, while being variable. If the display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit C (the game state is not controlled to the probable change state after the big hit game is completed), the fluctuation pattern of the SP reach C is not selected in the first place, so that the second prophecy effect is not executed. When the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of reach C, the big hit game of big hit A or big hit B is executed after the variable display result becomes a big hit by executing the second prophecy effect (big hit game). It is possible to raise the player's expectation for the fact that the gaming state is controlled to the probabilistic state after the end.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-19 (A) to 11-19 (C) and 11-20 (C), when the fluctuation pattern of SP reach A is selected when the variable display result is out of alignment. When the variable display result of SP reach A is selected when the variable display result is a big hit, and when the variable display result of SP reach B is selected when the variable display result is out of order, the variable display result is a big hit. When the fluctuation pattern of SP reach B is selected, when the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C is selected when the variable display result is out of order, and when the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C becomes a big hit, the fluctuation pattern of SP reach C Comparing the rate at which the prophecy effect is executed in each case when is selected, the rate of the prophecy effect is higher in the case where the variable display result is a big hit than in the case where the variable display result is out of order. Execution can be decided. That is, the ratio at which the variable display result becomes a big hit when the prophetic effect (either the first prophetic effect or the second prophetic effect) is executed (big hit expectation) is the variable display result when the prophetic effect is not executed. Is set higher than the rate of big hits. In addition, paying attention to the case where the prophecy effect is executed, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit when the second prophecy effect is executed (big hit expectation degree) is the variable display result when the first prophecy effect is executed. Since it is set higher than the jackpot ratio (big hit expectation: execution of the second prophecy effect> execution of the first prophecy effect> non-execution of the prophecy effect), the prediction effect is executed during the variable display. It is possible to draw the attention of the player.

Furthermore, as described above, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit in each of the cases where the prophetic effect is not executed, the first prophetic effect is executed, and the second prophetic effect is executed (big hit). Since the rate of expectation) and the rate at which the game state is controlled to the probabilistic state after the jackpot game ends (probability change expectation) are also different, in addition to whether or not the prophecy effect is executed, the first prophecy effect and the second prophecy effect are different. It is possible to draw the player's attention to which of the productions is executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A), the prediction display of the prediction effect can be executed at either the first timing before the reach or the second timing after the reach during the variable display. When the second prophetic effect is executed (the prophetic effect is executed in any of the effect patterns YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2), the first prophetic effect is executed (the prophetic effect is the effect). Since the higher proportion prediction display can be executed at the second timing than in the case of (executed in the pattern YPA-1), even if the prediction display is not performed at the first timing, is from the first prediction effect. Since it is possible to improve the player's expectation that the prediction display of the second prediction production with high jackpot expectation and probability variation expectation is performed in the second timing, the prediction display of the second prediction production (second prediction). It is possible to draw the player's attention to the display of (display).

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (B), when the first prophecy effect is executed (the prophecy effect is executed by the effect pattern YPA-1), the prophecy display is displayed at the first timing and the second timing. On the other hand, if the second prophecy effect is executed (the prophecy effect is executed by any of the effect patterns YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2), the prophecy display is displayed first. By enabling execution only at the second timing without executing at the first timing, if the prediction display is not performed at the first timing during the variable display, the prediction display is performed at the later second timing. That is, the player can be made to pay attention to the fact that the prophetic effect to be executed is the second prophetic effect.

Further, as a prophetic effect in the feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (D), "jam" is awakened during the battle confrontation at the first timing before the reach or the second timing after the reach. The variable display result becomes a big hit by displaying a prophecy to that effect or displaying a notice to the effect that "rim" is highlighted and then notifying that an event of prophecy display will occur during the same variable display (big hit). At the time of suggesting (expectation) and at the first timing before reach or the second timing after reach, a notice is displayed to the effect that "rim" will be highlighted during the battle confrontation, and at the start of the subsequent jackpot game. There is a case where it is suggested that the game state is controlled to the probable change state (probability change expectation degree) after the end of the big hit game by notifying that the event of the prophecy display occurs during the fanfare production of.

Here, at the first timing before the reach or the second timing after the reach, a prophecy indicating that "jam" will be awakened or a notice indicating that "rim" will be highlighted during the battle confrontation is displayed, and then a notice is displayed. The case of notifying that the event of the prophecy display occurs during the same variable display of the above is the case where the prophecy effect is executed by the effect pattern YPA-1 or YPA-2, and is shown in FIG. 11-20 (C). As shown, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the prophetic effect is not executed. On the other hand, at the first timing before the reach or the second timing after the reach, a notice is displayed to the effect that "rim" is highlighted during the battle confrontation, and a prediction is made during the fanfare production at the start of the big hit game after that. The case of notifying that the display event occurs is the case where the prophetic effect is executed by the effect pattern YPB-1 or YPB-2, and as shown in FIG. 11-20 (C), 100%. The variable display result is set to be a big hit by the ratio, and the probability change expectation is set higher than the case where the prophetic effect is not executed.

That is, in the feature unit 064SG, the prophetic effect of the effect patterns YPA-1 and YPA-2 and the prophetic effect of the effect patterns YPB-1 and YPB-2 are both set to the first timing or the second timing during variable display. (Especially, the prophecies are displayed in common with the production patterns YPA-2, YPB-1, and YPB-2), while the predictions of the production patterns YPA-1 and YPA-2 are displayed during the variable display. Since the target suggested as the prophetic effect is different between the effect and the prophetic effect of the effect patterns YPB-1 and YPB-2 in which the announcement display is performed during the fanfare effect, the announcement display is either variable display or the fanfare effect. It is possible to draw the player's attention to what is displayed. Further, when the notification display is executed during the fanfare production period, the round game started after the fanfare production is a jackpot game of jackpot A or jackpot B (probability change control is executed after the jackpot game is completed). ), Since it is possible to improve the player's expectation, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

In addition, in this feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIG. 11-20 (D), the notification display of the prophecy effect is the reach before notifying the variable display result which is the "first period related to the execution of the notification effect". The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to the prophetic production. The first time to start the notification display may be the timing before the start of the reach effect or the timing after the variable display result is notified even though the reach effect is in progress, or the notification display is started as the prediction effect. The second period may be the timing during the reach effect after the variable display result is notified, or during the round game in which the fanfare effect is completed. However, in this feature unit 064SG, when the notification display is executed during the reach production, it is suggested that the big hit is executed, and when the notification display is executed during the fanfare production, it is suggested that the probability change control is executed after the big hit game is completed. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether the notification display of the prophecy effect is executed in the first period or the second period.

Further, as described above, the prophetic effects of the effect patterns YPB-1 and YPB-2 in the feature unit 064SG are predictive effects in which the jackpot expectation is 100%. That is, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the prophetic effect is not executed in the effect pattern YPB-1 or YPB-2 in which the notification display is executed during the fanfare effect, and the variable display result becomes a big hit. In some cases, the prophetic effect is executed by the effect pattern YPB-1 or YPB-2 in which the notification display is executed during the fanfare effect, so that the prophetic effect is performed by the effect pattern YPB-1 or YPB-2. It is possible to draw more attention to the player to be executed.

Further, when the prophetic effect is executed by the effect pattern YPB-1 or YPB-2, the notification display is displayed not at the first timing during the variable display but at the second timing during the fanfare effect after the variable display. That is, if the prediction display is performed as the prediction effect but the notification display is not performed at the first timing, the variable display result is always a big hit, so the notification display is performed at the first timing. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is done.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-10, as a reach effect of SP reach when the variable display result is a big hit, a pattern (victory) in which "jam" or "jam" and "rim" defeat the enemy character and win. Pattern) and a pattern (revival pattern) in which "jam" or "jam" and "rim" are once defeated by the enemy character (notified that the variable display result is out of order) and then revived and won. Has been done. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11-20 (A) and 11-20 (B), in the feature unit 064SG, when the SP reach reach effect is executed in the above-mentioned resurrection pattern, the SP reach reach is performed. Since the prophetic effect is executed in the effect pattern YPB-1 or YPB-2 at a higher rate than when the effect is executed in the above-mentioned victory pattern, "jam" is used as the reach effect of the SP reach. Or even if "Jam" and "Rim" are defeated by the enemy character, they will be revived and won, and the prophetic effect will be executed in the production pattern YPB-1 or YPB-2 to make a big hit A or a big hit. Since the player can be expected to be controlled by the jackpot game state of B, the game entertainment can be further enhanced.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, as the first prophetic effect, a prophetic display (display of "mum" and display of "jam awakens") to the effect that "jam" is awakened is performed, so that "jam is awakened" during the reach effect. Reach by displaying the prophecy that "Rim" is highlighted (displaying "Mum" and "I can see the rim") as the second prophetic effect while displaying that "Jam" is awakened. An example of a form in which "rim" appears in addition to "jam" during production or fanfare production is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and "rim" is emphasized as a second prophetic production. When displaying a prophecy to the effect that it is displayed, it is possible to display only the appearance of the "rim" without displaying the "jam" during the reach effect or the fanfare effect. In particular, when the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, when the prediction display that "rim" is highlighted as the second prediction effect is displayed, "jam" is displayed as the fanfare effect. By displaying only the "rim" without doing so, it is possible for the player to easily understand that the "rim" is highlighted and that the fanfare effect during the jackpot game of jackpot A or jackpot B is highly related. Therefore, it is possible to further draw the player's attention to whether or not the prophecy display that "rim" is highlighted as the second prophecy effect is performed, and the game entertainment can be improved.

In the feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-13 to 11-16, the character "jam" is displayed by the reach effect of SP reach A to C and the fanfare effect of jackpot A to C, that is, A character that can appear even in cases other than probabilistic change, and "rim" is a character that can be displayed in the reach effect of SP reach C and the fanfare effect of jackpots A and B, that is, a character that can appear only in the case of probabilistic change. So, when "Rim" is displayed as a prophetic effect (when "Rim" is highlighted), it is more SP than when "Jam" is displayed as a prophetic effect (when "Jam" is awakened). The ratio of the fanfare effect in which the reach effect C and the "rim" are displayed is set to be high.

That is, when "rim" is highlighted as a prophetic effect, SP reach that can be selected only when "rim" is displayed and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B. "Jam" is awakened as a prophetic effect by executing a reach effect of C or a fanfare effect that can be selected only when the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B in the effect of displaying "rim". This is more closely related to the jackpot game of jackpot A and jackpot B (controlled to a probabilistic state after the jackpot game ends), but the present invention is not limited to this, and is referred to as "jam". While "rim" is the character displayed in the reach production of SP reach A to C and the fanfare production of jackpot A to C, the "rim" in the reach production of SP reach C and the fanfare production of jackpot A and jackpot B The image is made larger than the image of "rim" in the fanfare production of SP reach A to C, the display frequency of "rim" in the reach production of SP reach C and the fanfare production of jackpot A and B is the reach of SP reach A and B. Reach production of SP reach C, which is more than the display frequency of "rim" in the fanfare production of jackpot C, and the number of display times of "rim" in the fanfare production of jackpot A and jackpot B are the reach production of SP reach A, SP By increasing the number of times the "rim" is displayed in the reach production of reach B and the fanfare production of jackpot C, the highlighting of "rim" as the second predetermined event and the "jam" as the first predetermined event are awakened. It may be said that the relationship with the second advantageous state (controlled to the big hit A, the big hit B, and the probabilistic state) is higher than the display.

Further, for example, the "rim" as the second predetermined event display is a character that appears only when the probabilistic jackpot game state or the probabilistic change control is executed, and the "jam" as the first predetermined event display is the probabilistic jackpot. By making the character appear other than when the gaming state or the probability variation control is executed, the second predetermined event may be more related to the second advantageous state than the first predetermined event.

In the feature unit 064SG, when the "rim" is displayed in the reach effect or the fanfare effect, the prophetic display indicating that the "rim" is highlighted as the second prophetic effect is performed as the prophetic effect. It makes it easier for the player to understand that the display of "rim" is highly related to the display of "rim" in reach production and fanfare production, that is, "prophetic production and reach production and fanfare production. "Highly relevant" exemplifies a form in which a common character is displayed in the prophetic effect, the reach effect, and the fanfare effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the "prophetic effect" is not limited to this. "There is a high degree of relevance between the reach production and the fanfare production", the common music is output from the speakers 8L and 8R for the prophetic production and the reach production and the fanfare production, and the game effect lamp 9 has a common light emission pattern. It may include that the movable body 32 is operated in a common manner and the like.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-20 (A), 11-20 (B), and 11-20 (D), the variable display result is off, and the variable display result is a big hit and a big hit type. Is big hit A or big hit B, and regardless of whether the variable display result is big hit and the big hit type is big hit C, the prediction effect is executed by the effect pattern YPA-1 or YPA-2 in which the notification display is displayed during the variable display. Although possible forms have been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification, when the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit C, the effect patterns YPA-1 and YPA-2 are used. If the prediction effect is not executed and the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, the effect pattern YPA-1 or YAP-2 and the effect pattern YPB in which the notification display is displayed during the fanfare effect. If the prophetic effect can be executed on both -1 and YPAB-2 and the variable display result is out of order, the prophetic effect can be executed on YPA-1 or YPA-2 while YPB-1 or YPB-2. Then you may not execute it. By determining the effect pattern of the prophecy effect in this way, when the prophecy effect is executed by the effect patterns YPA-1 and YPA-2, the variable display result may be out of order or the variable display result may be a big hit and a big hit. The type is big hit A or big hit B, and the variable display result is big hit and the big hit type is not big hit C. As a result, the prophetic effect is controlled to the jackpot game state of jackpot A or jackpot B as in the production patterns YPB-1 and YPB-2 (the game state is controlled to the probability change state after the jackpot game ends). , When the prophetic effect is executed by the effect patterns YPA-1 and YPA-2, the player can pay attention to whether or not the variable display result is a big hit, and the game interest can be further improved.

(Example of operation of prophetic symbol stop fanning effect)
Next, an operation example of the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-23 to 11-26. FIG. 11-23 is a diagram showing an operation example of the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect. FIG. 11-24 is a diagram showing an operation example of the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect. FIG. 11-25 is a diagram showing an operation example of the prophecy symbol stop fanning effect. 11-26 is a diagram for explaining the details of the prophetic symbol stop fanning effect.

When the variable display of the special symbol based on any of the fluctuation patterns of SP reach A to C is started, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5 (FIG. 11-12 (A1)). Although each decorative symbol is variably displayed from the upper side to the lower side, it may be variably displayed from the lower side to the upper side. Next, as shown in FIG. 11-23 (A), when it is decided to execute the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect", a predetermined decorative symbol (for example, "6") is placed in the decorative symbol display area 5L on the left side. After the temporary stop is displayed, the same decorative symbol (for example, "6") as the decorative symbol temporarily stopped is displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5R on the right side, and the decorative symbol is displayed in the center. Since the variable display is continued only in the area 5C, the variable display mode becomes the reach mode.

The active display 064SG002 is displayed in the active display area 064SG001 provided at the lower part of the display screen of the image display device 5, and the first hold corresponds to the value of the first hold storage number being 2. Two first hold displays 064SG011 are displayed in the display area 064SG010. When there is a second hold storage, the number of the second hold display 064SG021 (not shown) corresponding to the number of the second hold storage is displayed in the second hold display area 064SG020.

Further, in the upper left of the screen of the image display device 5, the first reserved storage number (for example, the number "2"), the second reserved storage number (for example, the number "0", etc.) and the small corresponding to the decorative pattern are displayed. A display area 5SL for displaying a symbol (for example, an arrow “↓↓↓”) is provided, and a small symbol is variably displayed in synchronization with the variable display of the decorative symbol. The first hold storage number, the second hold storage number, the hold display, the small symbol, the error display (not shown) indicating the error state generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1, etc. are before the production image of the character or the like. By displaying it on the side (upper layer), it is possible to prevent the effect images from being duplicated and reducing the visibility of the first reserved storage number, the second reserved storage number, the small symbol, and the error display, while the decorative symbol is displayed. By displaying the above image on the back side (lower layer) of the effect image, it may be possible to prevent the decorative patterns from overlapping and the visibility of the effect image from being deteriorated.

The above small symbol is also referred to as a fourth symbol. The fourth symbol is a symbol indicating that the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is variably displayed, and is constant in a manner that is always visible in a display device such as, for example, an image display device 5. It is displayed variably depending on the operation. By variably displaying the fourth symbol, the effect content including the variable display of the decorative symbol disappears from the screen for a moment, or the movable body 32 is all or part of the screen of the image display device 5. Even if it is difficult to recognize the decorative pattern, such as when an effect is performed to shield the display, it is possible to recognize whether or not the display is currently in a variable display state. The effect control CPU operates the image display device 5 based on the reception of the first variable display start command to perform variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the first special symbol. Further, the effect control CPU operates the image display device 5 based on the reception of the second variable display start command to perform variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the second special symbol. It should be noted that the fourth symbol display provided in a place other than the image display device 5 (for example, a special variable winning ball device 7 which is a predetermined place of the game board 2) such as the first special figure LED064SG032 and the second special figure LED064SG033. The symbol displayed on the device is also referred to as the fourth symbol.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-23 (B), the decorative symbols temporarily stopped and displayed in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R are faded out and hidden, and are variablely displayed in the central decorative symbol display area 5C. Only will continue to be displayed. After that, every time a predetermined decorative symbol in front of "6" (for example, "2" to "5") approaches the central decorative symbol display area 5C, the decorative symbol is decelerated and is not temporarily stopped. (See FIGS. 11-23 (C) to (H)).

Then, as shown in FIG. 11-24 (I), after the decorative symbol of "5" passes through the decorative symbol display area 5C in the center, the prophetic symbol 064SG110 is displayed at the upper part of the display screen in place of the decorative symbol of "6". The frame-in display is displayed downward from the center, and the deceleration display is performed toward the central decorative pattern display area 5C (see FIGS. 11-24 (I) and (J)).

At this time, the prophetic symbol 064SG110 is the first aspect. Specifically, the specific character display 064SG111 is a mode in which a specific character is praying with his eyes closed and his hands are put together, and the decorative display 064SG112 is a mode in which a crystal ball covering the specific character display 064SG111 is imitated. , Character display 064SG113 is an embodiment that constitutes the character of "prophecy".

As shown in FIG. 11-24 (K1), when it is decided to execute the failure of the temporary stop display of the prophecy symbol 064SG110 (for example, when the execution of the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" is decided in N reach, etc. ) Accelerates when the prophecy symbol 064SG 110 reaches a predetermined temporary stop position, passes downward, and is framed out from the lower part of the display screen. A fixed decorative symbol of a predetermined reach combination (“missing reach”) that is not a combination is stopped and displayed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11-24 (K3), when the successful execution of the temporary stop display of the prophetic symbol 064SG110 is determined, the prophetic symbol 064SG110 does not pass when it reaches the predetermined temporary stop position. Will be further decelerated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (L), when the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is temporarily stopped and displayed at a predetermined temporary stop position, the decorative display 064SG112 changes to a mode in which the crystal ball is cracked and the prediction is made. The effect display 064SG120 that emphasizes the impact of the temporary stop display of the symbol 064SG110 is displayed, and the character display 064SG113 indicating the character of "prophecy" is hidden.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (M), the decorative display 064SG112 changes to a mode in which the crystal ball is broken and a plurality of fragments are scattered radially, and an effect display corresponding to the plurality of fragments scattered radially is displayed. 064SG121, that is, the effect display 064SG121 extending radially is displayed. In addition, the specific character display 064SG111 changes from the first aspect in which the specific character prays with his eyes closed and his hands together, to the second aspect in which the specific character spreads his hands forward with his eyes closed. do.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (N), the decorative display 064SG112 is hidden, the effect display 064SG121 is displayed, the specific character display 064SG111 changed to the second aspect is enlarged and displayed, and the specific character is emitted. The dialogue sound "accept fate" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as dialogue, and the character display 064SG113 changes to the character "accept fate" corresponding to the dialogue sound.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (O), the character display 064SG113 and the effect display 064SG121 are displayed, and the character display 064SG113, the effect display 064SG121, and the specific character display 064SG111 fade out while the specific character display 064SG111 is enlarged and displayed. After the characters are displayed and the display screen finally becomes a whiteout display (see FIG. 11-25 (P)), the "prophetic effect" described later is started.

In this way, in the "prophecy symbol fanning effect", the specific character display 064SG111 of the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is displayed in the first aspect, and when the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is temporarily stopped and displayed, the effect display 064SG121 such that the decorative display 064SG112 is scattered. Is displayed, and the specific character display 064SG111 changes from the first aspect to the second aspect different from the first aspect.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-26 (A), the prophetic symbol 064SG 110 is a specific character in the stop fanning period (see FIGS. 11-24 (I) to (K3)) in the “predictive symbol fanning effect”. The display 064SG111 is the first aspect of praying with a specific character closing his eyes and holding his hands together, and the decorative display 064SG112 is displayed as a sphere showing a crystal ball, the effect display is hidden, and the characters are displayed. The display 064SG113 is the character of "prophecy".

On the other hand, the prophecy symbol 064SG110 shows the specific character display 064SG111 with the eyes closed and the hands spread forward during the post-stop period (see FIGS. 11-25 (L) to (N)) in the "prophecy symbol fanning effect". The decorative display 064SG112 is changed to a mode in which the crystal ball is broken and a plurality of fragments are scattered radially, the effect display 064SG121 is displayed in a form extending radially, and the character display 064SG113 is displayed. Changes from "prophecy" to "accept fate".

As described above, the prophecy symbol 064SG 110 has different display modes constituting the prophecy symbol 064SG 110 depending on the stop fanning period and the subsequent stop period, so that it is preferable to show that the prophecy symbol 064SG 110 is temporarily stopped. Can be done.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to decide the execution of the "prophecy pattern fanning effect" even when the execution of the "prophecy effect" is not decided, and when the execution of the "prophecy effect" is not decided, " When it is decided to execute the prophecy symbol fanning effect, the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is not displayed as a temporary stop (see FIGS. 11-24 (K1) and (K2)). By doing so, even if the "prophecy effect" is not executed, the "prophecy symbol stop fanning effect" can be executed, so that the game entertainment can be enhanced.

In the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect", the character effect display corresponding to the specific character display 064SG111 may be duplicately displayed on the front side of the specific character display 064SG111. Specifically, in FIGS. 11-24 (I) to (K3), the effect display similar to the specific character display 064SG111 and having transparency is displayed on the front side so that the specific character display is swaying. It may be displayed in duplicate in. By doing so, it is possible to make it appear that the specific character display is moving.

In addition, the character display 064SG113 displayed in the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" is displayed in the character (preliminary name) "prophecy" foretelling the start of the "predictive effect" during the stop fanning period, and then. In the period after the suspension of, the characters "accept fate", which is a message related to the name of the prophecy, can be changed to the characters, so that the effect of the production can be preferably enhanced.

Further, while the voice corresponding to the notice name "prophecy" is not output, the voice corresponding to the character "accept fate" which is a message related to the notice name is output, so that the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is output. It can be emphasized that the temporary stop is displayed.

Further, the prophecy symbol 064SG110 is temporarily stopped and then enlarged and displayed in whiteout and hidden (see FIG. 11-25 (P)), so that the "prophecy effect" can be started without any discomfort. Can be done.

In addition, the specific character "Mum" displayed on the specific character display 064SG111 in the "Prophecy symbol stop fanning effect" also appears and is displayed in the "Prophecy pattern stop fanning effect" started after the "Prophecy symbol stop fanning effect". By being a character to be played, it is possible to enhance the relationship between the "prophetic pattern stop fanning effect" and the "prophetic effect". Furthermore, the specific character "Mum" is not only the "predictive effect" that is executed after the "predictive symbol stop fanning effect" and during the variable display, but also the "fanfare effect" and "big hit effect" during the big hit game state. By appearing and being displayed in "", etc., it is possible to enhance the relevance to "prophetic design stop fanfare" and "prophetic production".

Further, in the present embodiment, the display control unit 123 generates image data (display data) for displaying the image drawn in the image drawing area in the VRAM area on the image display device 5 in the display image creation area. , Extended command as control information for a movable body for operating a movable body 32, a push button 31B, etc. when performing a display process for outputting image data (display data) in a display image creation area as a video signal (for example, Turns on / off extended commands DXXX, SXXX, etc. (“X” is an arbitrary number), movable body LED 208 (see FIG. 11-2), frame LEDs 9L1-9L12, 9R1-9R12 (see FIG. 11-2), etc. An extended command (for example, an extended command BXXX (“X” is an arbitrary number)) as control information for the lamp for the purpose is generated and transmitted to the effect control CPU 120.

The effect control CPU 120 is a vibration motor that vibrates the movable body motor 207 (see FIG. 11-2) of the movable body 32 and the push button 31B described in the process data based on the reception of the extended commands DXXX and SXXX. The movable body motor 207 and the push button 31B of the movable body 32 are vibrated by the operation pattern corresponding to the extended commands DXXX and SXXX, separately from the operation control based on the operation control execution data of 61 (see FIG. 11-2). The operation control for operating the vibration motor 61 is started.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the extended command BXXX or the like separately from the control based on the lamp control execution data of the movable body LED 208 described in the process data based on the reception of the extended command BXXX or the like. Control to turn on / off the movable body LED 208, the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, and 9R1 to 9R12 in the lighting pattern is started. The control data for operating the movable body 32 and the push button 31B and the control data for lighting the movable body LEDs 208 and the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 are stored in the ROM 121.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 11-26 (B), the effect control CPU 120 uses the control data table A whose display color changes at regular intervals during the stop fanning period to display the movable body LED 208 and the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12. , 9R1 to 9R12 are controlled to emit light. On the other hand, in the period after the stop, the movable body LED 208, the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, and 9R1 to 9R12 are controlled to emit light by using the control data table B that emits light in the display color corresponding to the decorative display 064SG112. By doing so, the light emitting mode changes between the stop fanning period and the post-stop period according to the change in the display mode of the prophecy symbol 064SG110, so that it becomes easy to understand that the display mode of the prophecy symbol 064SG110 has changed. , It is possible to preferably enhance the effect of production.

The control data table (for example, control data tables A to D) used when the effect control CPU 120 controls to emit light of various LEDs such as the movable body LED 208, the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, and 9R1 to 9R12 is movable, for example. It has a plurality of control data that causes the body LED 208, the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, and 9R1 to 9R12 to emit light in a predetermined display mode, and the next control data is used by measuring the period set in the control data. For example, various LEDs are changed from "white" to "blue".

(Operation example of prophecy production)
Next, an operation example of the prophecy effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-27 to 11-31. 11-27 is a diagram showing an operation example of the prophecy effect. 11-28 is a diagram showing an operation example of the prophecy effect. 11-29 is a diagram showing a modified example of the standby display in (A) and the standby display in (B). FIG. 11-30 is a diagram showing an operation example of the prophecy effect. 11-31 is a diagram for explaining the details of the prophetic effect. FIG. 11-32 is a diagram showing a modification 1 of the feature portion 064SG.

As shown in FIGS. 11-27 (A), when the "prophecy effect" is started, for example, the display screen of the image display device 5 becomes a black screen display and is displayed as an "introduction scene" of the prophecy effect. In the center of the screen, the specific character display 064SG111 displayed on the prophecy symbol 064SG110 of the "prophecy symbol stop fanning effect" is faded in, and the character display 064SG130 "Mum prophecy" is displayed at the lower right of the display screen (FIG. 11). -27 (A), see (B)).

In the "introduction scene" shown in FIGS. 11-27 (A) and 11-27 (B), the special display (for example, the pseudo light guide plate display) is larger than the specific character display in a state where the visibility of the specific character display 064SG111 is reduced. A pseudo light guide plate effect (reduced visibility effect) that is overlapped with the display layer on the front side (high display priority) may be executed. By doing so, for example, comparing the case where the light guide plate device is arranged on the front side of the image display device 5 to execute the light guide plate effect and the pseudo light guide plate effect, in the pseudo light guide plate effect, the light guide plate is used. Unlike the effect, it is possible to perform a display similar to the light guide plate effect without deteriorating the visibility of the image. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the light guide plate in the pseudo light guide plate effect, it is possible to prevent an increase in the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (C), in the first scene A, the specific character display 064SG111 in which the specific character "Mum" closes his eyes is enlarged and displayed, and the "Mum" is emitted. The dialogue sound "The future of this fluctuation is ..." is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the character display 064SG131 corresponding to the dialogue sound "The future of this fluctuation is ..." is displayed. In addition, the background display 064SG132 becomes brighter than in the introduction scene.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (D), in the first scene B, the specific character display 064SG111 and the background display 064SG132 in which the "mumu" closes his eyes are "visible" by the "mumu" without changing. The dialogue sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the character display 064SG131 "visible" corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-27 (E), in the first scene C, the specific character display 064SG111 is hidden, and the character display 064SG131 that "sees the future" is enlarged and displayed.

Then, when a predetermined period (for example, about 3 seconds) has elapsed since the character display 064SG131 was enlarged and displayed in the first scene C, the specific character "Mum" opens (opens) the second eye. The scene starts.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (F1), when the execution of the first prophetic effect is decided, the specific character display 064SG111 in which the specific character "Mum" opens his eyes and opens his eyes is displayed. In addition, the dialogue sound "Jam awakens!" Emitted by "Mum" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the character display 064SG131A "Jam awakens!" Corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed. Will be done. That is, the specific character display 064SG111 and the character display 064SG131A are displayed as the first prediction display for predicting the awakening of the first event "jam".

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (F2), when the execution of the second prophetic effect is decided, the specific character display 064SG111 in which the specific character "Mum" opens his eyes and opens his eyes is displayed. In addition, the dialogue sound "I can see the rim!" Emitted by "Mum" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the character display 064SG131B "I can see the rim!" Corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed. That is, the specific character display 064SG111 and the character display 064SG131B are displayed as the second prophetic display that predicts the highlighting of the "rim" which is the second event.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-28 (G), after the specific character display 064SG111 and the character display 064SG131A or the character display 064SG131B are faded out, the display screen becomes white (whiteout display) (FIG. 11-). 28 (H)).

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-28 (I), the effect display 064SG133 is displayed at the upper part of the display screen and spreads downward in a radial pattern. For example, the character display 064SG134 "Enemy X1 has appeared!" Is displayed. When the SP reach effects A1 and A2 are executed, it is suggested that a battle confrontation with the enemy character X1 is started (see FIGS. 11-28 (J)). When the SP reach effects B1 and B2 and the SP reach effects C1 and C2 are executed, it is suggested that the battle confrontation with the enemy character X2 is started.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-28 (K), when the SP reach effect A is started, the character display of "jam" and the "SP reach effect A" are displayed as the displays corresponding to the SP reach effects A1 and A2. The reach title display 064SG041A including the character display is displayed, and the standby display 064SG051 is displayed so as to be reduced to the left side of the display screen on which the reach title display 064SG041A is displayed and to stand by. After that, after the battle confrontation start display 064SG042A indicating that "jam" and "enemy character X1" start the battle confrontation is displayed (see FIG. 11-28 (L)), the battle confrontation indicating that the battle confrontation is in progress is in progress. Display 064SG043 is displayed (see FIG. 11-28 (M)).

As shown in FIG. 11-29 (A), the standby display 064SG051 has a specific character display 064SG111A indicating "mum", which is a specific character predicting the occurrence of the first event, and the occurrence of the first event is waiting. It is composed of a character display 064SG141 indicating "waiting" to that effect, and character displays 064SG131C and 064SG131D indicating the prophecy content predicted by "Mum" ("Jam awakens").

The standby display 064SG052 is detailed because it is almost the same as the standby display 064SG051 except that the characters of the character display 064SG131C and 064SG131D indicating the prophecy content predicted by "Mum" are "I can see the rim". Illustration is omitted (see FIG. 11-30 (A2)). Further, the display mode of the specific character display 064SG111A and the character display 064SG141 may be different between the standby display 064SG051 and the standby display 064SG052.

As shown in FIGS. 11-27 (F1) and (F2), the standby display 064SG051 has a first prophecy display and a second prophecy display (specific character display) displayed in a substantially central area of the display screen of the image display device 5. 064SG111 and character display 064SG131A, 064SG131B) are displayed as if they were moved to the left side area closer to the left edge than the center of the display screen and reduced, until the predicted first event or second event occurs. It will be displayed continuously for the period of.

In the present embodiment, the standby display 064SG051 is shown as being moved to the left side area closer to the left edge side than the center area of the display screen and displayed as if it is reduced, but the present invention is limited to this. If the standby display 064SG051 is closer to the edge of the display screen than the center area of the display screen, it may be displayed in the right side area, the upper side area, the lower side area, or the like. Further, even if the first prophecy display or the second prophecy display displayed in the center area of the display screen is not moved to the left area, the left area after the first prophecy display or the second prophecy display is hidden. It may be displayed in.

Further, the specific character display 064SG111A is different from the specific character display 064SG111 in which the whole body of the specific character is displayed and only the upper body is displayed in FIGS. 11-27 (F1) and (F2). There is. Further, in the character display 064SG131C and 064SG131D, the characters are arranged in the vertical direction and are moved and displayed upward, and the display mode is different from the character display 064SG131A and 064SG131B in which the characters are fixedly displayed in the horizontal direction. It's different. The standby displays 064SG051 and 064SG052 may be displayed in a reduced form of the first prophecy display and the second prophecy display shown in FIGS. 11-27 (F1) and (F2).

Further, although the character display 064SG141 "waiting" is fixedly displayed, the character "waiting" is moved and displayed in the waiting period as in the character display 064SG141A shown in FIG. 11-29 (B). (For example, it may be moved and displayed so as to sway while orbiting around the specific character display 064SG111A) so as to be conspicuous even though it is reduced.

Next, when the standby displays 064SG051 and 064SG052 are displayed and a predetermined period elapses after the battle confrontation is started and the first event or the second event occurs before the result notification of the SP reach effect A is performed, the standby display 064SG051 and 064SG052 are displayed. As shown in FIGS. 11-30 (N1) and (N2), the effect display 064SG150 is displayed so as to overlap the front side of the specific character display 064SG111A in the standby display 064SG051 and 064SG052, and the visibility of the specific character display 064SG111A deteriorates. It will be hidden.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (O), the effect display 064SG150 is gradually enlarged and moved toward the center of the display screen, and then the effect display 064SG150 is displayed as shown in FIG. 11-30 (P). Is hidden, and the specific character display 064SG111 showing "Mum" with the eyes open and the hands spread upward is displayed, and the line "Coming !!" is displayed as the line emitted by "Mum". Along with being output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the character display 064SG152 of "Coming!" Corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed. In addition, the effect display 064SG151 is displayed in the background.

That is, after the standby display of the specific character display 064SG111A is displayed so as to move from the left side area of the display screen to the center area, the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed as a notification display.

Then, when the occurrence of the first event was predicted, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (Q1), the character display 064SG161 indicating the "jam" that had never been battled and the "jam" were awakened. The character display 064SG162 consisting of the characters of "awakening" and the first event display consisting of the characters "Awakening" are displayed. When the occurrence of the second event is predicted, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (Q2), the character display 064SG163 indicating "rim" and the "rim!" Showing highlighting of "rim" are displayed. A character display consisting of characters 064SG164 and a second event display consisting of characters are displayed.

As described above, in the prophecy effect, the specific character display 064SG111 indicating "mum" and the subtitle display corresponding to the prophecy dialogue sound output as the prophecy dialogue predicted by the specific character are displayed in the central area of the display screen (for example, "" After the prophecy display consisting of the character display 064SG131A consisting of the characters "Jam awakens!", The character display 064SG131B consisting of the characters "I can see the rim!", And the specific character display 064SG111 Character display 064SG131A and 064SG131B are displayed to move to the left side area of the display screen and stand by (see FIG. 11-29 (A)), and the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed from the left side area of the display screen before a predetermined event occurs. It is an effect that a notification display consisting of a specific character display 064SG111 and a character display 064SG152 is displayed after being displayed so as to move to the central area, and after the notification display is displayed, an event display corresponding to the occurrence of an event (for example). , Character display 064SG161 indicating "jam", character display 064SG162 consisting of "awakening" characters indicating that "jam" has awakened, first event display consisting of, character display 064SG163 indicating "rim", and The character display 064SG164 consisting of the characters "rim!" Showing the highlighting of the "rim" and the second event display consisting of the characters "rim!" Are displayed.

By doing so, after the prophecy display is displayed, the predicted specific character and the prophecy content wait in the left area, and when the event display is displayed, the notification display is displayed in advance, so that the prophecy is predicted. Since it is possible to show a series of flows from the display of the display to the display of the event display without interruption, the fun of the game is improved.

In addition, the prophecy lines are the first line part that is the introduction part of the prophecy (for example, "the future of this change can be seen ...") and the second line part that indicates a predetermined event (for example, "jam awakens"). ! ”And“ I can see the rim! ”), And when a predetermined period (for example, about 3 seconds) has passed since the prediction dialogue sound of the first dialogue part was output, the prediction of the second dialogue part By outputting the dialogue sound, it is possible to raise the sense of expectation.

Further, the subtitle display is the first subtitle display (for example, the character display 064SG131A consisting of the characters "Jam is awakening!") Displayed corresponding to the output of the prophetic line sound of the first line part, and the second. It has a second subtitle display (for example, a character display 064SG131B consisting of the characters "I can see the rim!") Displayed corresponding to the output of the prophetic dialogue sound of the dialogue part, and the display of the first subtitle display is displayed. When a predetermined period (for example, about 3 seconds) has elapsed from the end, the display of the second subtitle display is started, so that the event to be predicted after the introduction part of the prophecy dialogue is displayed in subtitles is displayed in subtitles. It is possible to raise the sense of expectation by having a predetermined period before the end.

In addition, the second dialogue part has a time of showing the first event and a second event different from the first event (for example, "Jam awakens!" And "Rim can be seen!" There is), the first dialogue part is said to be "the future of this change can be seen ..." which is common to the time when the first event is shown in the "prophetic production" and the second event. Therefore, even if the events are different, the introduction part is common, so that the second dialogue part can be focused on.

Further, the standby displays 064SG051 and 064SG052 including the specific character display 064SG111 and the character displays 064SG131A and 064SG131B displayed in the central area are specific effect start displays (for example, reach titles) indicating that the SP reach effects A to C are started. Display 064SG041A to reach title display 064SG041C, etc.) is displayed so that it stands by in the left area, so that the specific character display 064SG111 and the character display 064SG131A, 064SG131B can be displayed as a strange feeling by using the specific effect start display. It can be moved to a predetermined area and displayed without giving.

Further, the character displays 064SG131A and 064SG131B are displayed using characters having different sizes (for example, Chinese characters use a large font and Hiragana uses a small font. See FIGS. 11-27) at least in the left side region. By doing so, it is possible to give a different texture to the display of a predetermined event and draw attention to it.

Further, after the effect display 064SG150 indicating that light is emitted from the specific character display 064SG111A displayed in the left side area is displayed, the notification display is displayed (see FIG. 11-30) to display the prophecy. It is possible to preferably shift from the standby state to the notification display.

Next, the display color of each display in the prophecy display of the "prophecy effect" will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-31 (A1) and (A2).

As shown in FIG. 11-31 (A1), in the first scene A (see FIG. 11-27 (C)), the display color of the "eye" region of the specific character in the specific character display 064SG111 is "high brightness". It is said to be "purple", and the display color of the area other than the "eye" is "purple" with high brightness. Further, the background display 064SG132 is set to "purple" with low lightness, the character display 064SG131 is set to "purple" with low lightness, and the effect display is hidden.

In the first scene B (see FIG. 11-27 (D)), the display color of the "eye" region of the specific character in the specific character display 064SG111 is "purple" with high brightness, and the display color of the region other than the "eye" is set. The display color is "purple" with high brightness. Further, the background display 064SG132 is set to "purple" with low lightness, the character display 064SG131 is changed from "purple" to "red", and the effect display is hidden.

In the first scene C (see FIGS. 11-27 (E)), the display color of the "eye" area of the specific character and the display color of the area other than the "eye" in the specific character display 064SG111 are hidden. Further, the background display 064SG132 is changed to "purple" having a high brightness, the character display 064SG131 is changed to "red", and the effect display is hidden.

On the other hand, in the second scene (see FIGS. 11-27 (F1) and (F2)), the display color of the "eye" region of the specific character in the specific character display 064SG111 changes from "purple" to "gold". The display color of the area other than the "eye" has changed from "purple" to "white". In addition, the background display 064SG132 changes from "purple" to "black", the character display 064SG131 remains "red", the character frame (edge) changes to a golden shaded character, and the effect display 064SG135 becomes "". It is said to be "golden".

Here, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (A2), when the first scenes A to C and the second scene are compared, in the first scenes A to C, the number of types of display colors constituting the specific character display 064SG111 However, while the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in a mode of one color of "purple", in the second scene, the number of types of display colors constituting the specific character display 064SG111 is larger than that of the first scene, "white". The specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in a mode of two colors, "gold" and "gold".

Further, in the first scenes A to C, the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in such a manner that the main display color constituting the specific character display 064SG111, that is, the display color of the "eye" which is the main part is "purple". On the other hand, in the second scene, the main display color constituting the specific character display 064SG111, that is, the display color of the "eye" which is the main part is brighter than "purple" and the same "gold color" as the effect display 064SG135. The specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in such an embodiment.

As described above, the characteristic of the display color of the specific character display 064SG111 is that in the first scenes A to C, the hue is the same "purple" but the brightness is different, whereas in the second scene, the hue is different and the hue is different. , A plurality of display colors that are not displayed in the first scenes A to C.

Further, the character display 064SG131 is set to "purple", which is the same or similar display color as the specific character display 064SG111 in the first scene A, and is "red" different from the specific character display 064SG111 in the first scenes B and C. On the other hand, in the second scene, the character is "red", which is different from the specific character display 064SG111, and the character frame (edge) is a golden shaded character.

In this way, the prediction display of the "prediction effect" includes the first scenes A to C in which the specific character "Mum" closes his eyes, and the second scene in which the specific character "Mum" opens his eyes. In the first scenes A to C, the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in such a manner that the number of types of display colors constituting the specific character display 064SG111 is the first number (one color), and in the second scene, the specific character display 064SG111 is specified. Since the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in a manner in which the number of types of display colors constituting the character display 064SG111 is a second number (two colors) larger than the first number (one color), the first scenes A to C are displayed. With the change to the second scene, the display color changes with the opening of the eyes of the specific character, so that the opening of the eyes can be emphasized.

Even when at least a part of the character display 064SG131 is displayed in the same or similar display color as the specific character display 064SG111 so as to overlap the specific character display 064SG111, the edge of the character display 064SG131 is said to be white or black. By displaying the border in a linear manner with a color different from the display color of the specific character display 064SG111, it may be possible to suppress the deterioration of the visibility of the character display 064SG131.

Further, in the first scenes A to C, the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in such a manner that the main display color constituting the specific character display 064SG111 is the first display color (“purple”), and in the second scene, the specific character display is displayed. Since the specific character display 064SG111 is displayed in a manner in which the main display color constituting the 064SG111 is a second display color (“gold”) different from the first display color, the first scenes A to C to the second scene are displayed. With the change, the display color changes with the opening of the eyes of the specific character, so that the opening of the eyes can be emphasized.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (A3), the effect control CPU 120 is set to light in the first display color (for example, "purple" having high brightness) in the first scenes A to C. The time from using the control data of to using the next control data for lighting in the second display color (for example, "purple" with low lightness) whose brightness is different from that of the first display color, that is, the display. The movable body LED 208, frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, and 9R1 to 9R12 are used with the control data table C, which has an average time of "0 ms" using the extinguishing control data for turning off the color until the color is switched from the first display color to the second display color. Is controlled to emit light. The control data table C is a data table that emits light in the same emission color as the display colors displayed in the first scenes A to C.

On the other hand, in the second scene, in order to use the control data of 1 for lighting in the first display color (for example, "white") and then to light in the second display color (for example, "blue"). Control data table D in which the average time until the next control data is used, that is, the average time using the extinguishing control data for turning off the lights before the display color is switched from the first display color to the second display color is "20 ms". Is used to control the movable body LED 208, frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, and 9R1 to 9R12 to emit light. The control data table D is a data table that emits light in the same emission color as the display color displayed in the second scene.

That is, as the average time (for example, "20 ms") from the use of the control data of 1 in the control data table D to the use of the next control data, the control data of 1 is used in the control data table C. Since it is longer than the average time (for example, "0 ms") from the time until the next control data is used, in the first scenes A to C, the display color changes without turning off. On the other hand, in the second scene, the blinking mode (flash lighting) is such that the light is turned off and the display color changes.

By doing so, in the light emission control using the control data table D, the display color changes while blinking because the time until the light emission color changes is longer than the light emission control using the control data table C. , The eye opening can be preferably emphasized.

(Characteristic part 064SG deformation example 1)
In the present embodiment, in the "prophecy effect", the prophecy display is executed by changing from the first scenes A to C in which the specific character "Mum" closes the eyes to the second scene in which the "Mum" opens the eyes. Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 11-32, after the first scenes A to C in which the specific character "Mum" closes his eyes are executed (FIG. 11). -32 (A)-(E)), the third scene (see FIG. 11-32 (F)) in which the display screen becomes a black screen display (blackout) and the prophecy display is not executed without opening the eyes of "Mum". ) May be feasible. By doing so, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the specific character "Mum" opens his eyes, which improves the entertainment of the game.

Although the feature portion 064SG in the embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these examples, and there are changes and additions within the range not deviating from the gist of the present invention. Is also included in the present invention.

(Explanation of deformation and application)
In the feature unit 064SG, for example, in the SP reach effects A to C, the awakening of the ally character "jam" that confronts the enemy characters X1 and X2 and the "rim" are highlighted as predetermined events in the game. That is, an example is an example in which an event display that indirectly suggests a "big hit" or "probability change" that is advantageous to the player is applied, but the present invention is not limited to this. A suggestion display that directly suggests the occurrence of "big hit" or "probability change" (for example, a character display such as "big hit?" Or "probability change?" May be displayed. At least an event related to the game. If so, for example, a special character different from "jam", "rim", or "mum" (such as a unique character of a game machine maker commonly used by a plurality of models) may be displayed. ..

In addition to displaying the character display, the display of the mode indicating that the ally character such as "jam" or "rim" wins (or loses) the enemy character is displayed, and other than the character display. A special display (for example, a premier display or a suggestion display suggesting a variable display result) may be displayed, or the movable body for production such as the movable body 32 falling to the production position may operate or be movable. The body LEDs 208, the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, and 9R1 to 9R12 may emit light in a special mode (for example, a rainbow mode), or the special sound effect may be output from the speakers 8L, 8R.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, an embodiment in which the "first prophecy display" and the "second prophecy display" can be displayed in the "prophecy effect" is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and 3 It may be possible to display more than one type of prophecy display, or one type of prophecy display may be displayed.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, in the "prophecy effect", the "first prediction display" and the "second prediction display" can be executed at the "first timing" before the reach and the "second timing" after the reach. Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of prophetic displays other than the above may be enabled to be executed at a plurality of timings other than the above.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, in the "predictive effect", the first effect pattern (YPA-1, YPA-2) in which the event occurs in the first period before the result notification and the second period after the event is notified of the result. The second effect pattern (YPB-1, YPB-2) generated in the fanfare effect is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of events other than the above are exemplified. A plurality of effect patterns that can occur at this time may be made feasible.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, when the prediction display is displayed in the "prediction effect", the event display is displayed before the result notification (first period) or the fanfare effect (second period) in the variable display. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when the prophecy display is displayed in the "prophecy effect", the effect pattern (gase pattern) in which the event display is not displayed may be executed. In this case, if the event display is not displayed after the prediction display is displayed and before the result notification (first period) in the variable display, the event display is not necessarily displayed in the fanfare effect (second period). Therefore, it is possible to further increase the expectation that the event display will be displayed in the fanfare effect.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, the second effect pattern (YPB-1, YPB-2) exemplifies a form in which an event occurs during the fanfare effect period from the start of the jackpot game state to the start of the round game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an event may occur outside the fanfare production period, such as during a round game in a big hit game state. Further, in the second effect pattern (YPB-1, YPB-2), even if an event occurs in the period from the notification of the result of the variable display to the end of the variable display (for example, the execution period of the post-effect). good.

Further, in the feature unit 064SG, the number of types of display colors constituting the specific character display 064SG111 is exemplified by one color in the first scenes A to C and two colors in the second scene. If the number of types of display colors in the second scene is larger than that of the second scene, the number of types of display colors in each scene can be changed in various ways. Further, the various display colors constituting the specific character display 064SG111 in each scene are not limited to the colors shown in FIGS. 11-31 (A1), and can be variously changed.
