(1) A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player.
With multiple light emitting means,
A light emitting control means for controlling the light emitting means is provided.
The light emitting control means controls the light emitting means by using a luminance data table composed of luminance data.
It is possible to execute a notification effect that notifies whether or not the control is in the advantageous state.
The notification effect executed when it is determined that the control to the advantageous state is controlled to the introduction part until the propriety of whether or not the control is controlled to the advantageous state is notified, and the control to the advantageous state. It is composed including the first epilogue part that is notified to that effect.
The notification effect executed when it is determined that the advantageous state is not controlled includes the introduction part until the propriety of whether or not the advantageous state is controlled is notified, and the fact that the notification effect is not controlled by the advantageous state. Consists of including a second epilogue part to be notified
The light emission control means is
In both the introduction part in the notification effect executed when it is determined to be controlled in the advantageous state and the introduction part in the notification effect executed when it is determined not to be controlled in the advantageous state. The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the common introduction part.
In the first epilogue part in the notification effect executed when it is determined that the control to the advantageous state is performed, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the first epilogue part.
In the second epilogue part in the notification effect executed when it is determined that the advantageous state is not controlled, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table corresponding to the second epilogue part.
The average time for switching to the next luminance data after the luminance data of 1 is used in the luminance data table corresponding to the first epilogue part is after the luminance data of 1 is used in the luminance data table corresponding to the second epilogue part. It is set shorter than the average time to switch to the next brightness data,
Moreover,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 279) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. With crowd notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
In the first display period, from the first situation in which a part of the first displayed character is displayed, a part of the first displayed character is displayed more than in the first situation and second. In the second situation where a part of the displayed character is displayed (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 289 and 326).
According to this feature, the notification effect to be executed can be executed with suitable luminance control, and the interest is improved. Further, according to such a configuration, the group effect can be more preferably executed.

Further, the embodiment for carrying out the invention described later includes the invention relating to the following gaming machine (A). Conventionally, there has been known a gaming machine that performs a group effect of displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-050851. A gaming machine capable of performing a group production in which images of a plurality of curactors and objects appear is disclosed. According to the above-mentioned gaming machine, it is possible to enjoy the game by executing the group production, but there is still room for improvement in such a group production.

The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of more preferably performing group production.
(A) A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. ,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 279) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. With crowd notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
In the first display period, a part of the first displayed character is displayed more than the first situation from the first situation in which a part of the first displayed character is displayed, and the second situation. In the second situation where a part of the displayed character is displayed (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 289 and 326).
According to such a configuration, the group effect can be more preferably executed.

Flow into.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special drawing game by the special drawing 2 variable display unit 22 of the special drawing LED board 9020 is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special figure game is being executed or during the period controlled by the jackpot game state described later (a start winning is generated, but is based on the starting winning). If the special figure game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the approach is suspended up to a predetermined maximum number (for example, 4).

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

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

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is either the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) or the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until early timing. This predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as the opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is open in this way is called a round (round game). In the big hit game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number (10 times or 7 times) is reached.

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

The type of big hit is set for "big hit". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc.) are prepared, and the big hit type is set according to these. Has been done. As the jackpot type, a jackpot type that can obtain many prize balls, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type that can hardly obtain prize balls may be provided.

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

In the time saving state, control (time saving control) is executed in which the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure is changed) is shortened from the normal state. In the time-saving state, the average fluctuation time of the normal map (the period during which the normal map is changed) is shortened from the normal state, and the probability of becoming a "normal map hit" in the normal map game is improved from the normal state. As a result, control (high opening control, high base control) that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second starting winning opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (display result of the special figure game or variable display of the decorative symbol) to be "big hit" (also called big hit reliability or big hit expectation) is determined according to the production mode. Multiple different types of reach effects are performed. Reach production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach. In addition, the super reach includes the first half of the super reach that ends in the first half of the super reach, the second half of the super reach that develops from the first half of the super reach, and the final reach that develops from the first half of the super reach. In the present embodiment, the jackpot reliability is higher when the variable display display result is derived in the first half of the super reach than when the variable display display result is derived in the normal reach. Further, the jackpot reliability is higher when the variable display display result is derived in the latter half of the super reach than when the variable display display result is derived in the first half of the super reach. Further, the jackpot reliability is higher when the variable display display result is derived in the final reach than when the variable display display result is derived in the latter half of the super reach. In the following, "Super Reach" is "SP Reach", "Super Reach First Half" is "SP First Half (SP First Half Reach)", and "Super Reach Second Half" is "SP Second Half (SP Second Half Reach)", " "Final reach" is also referred to as "SP final (SP final reach)".

When the display result of the special figure game is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to the "big hit" (the above-mentioned specific display result), it is predetermined as a display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern on the screen of the image display device 5. A definite decorative symbol that is a combination of big hits is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". ..

In the case of a "probability change jackpot" that is controlled to a probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7") are all stopped and displayed, and the probability change state is changed after the end of the jackpot game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", an even number of decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stopped and displayed. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a probabilistic symbol, and the even-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a non-probable variable symbol (normal symbol). After the non-probability pattern becomes the reach mode, the promotion effect that finally becomes the "probability change jackpot" may be executed. As the promotion effect, for example, a re-lottery effect may be executed to incite whether or not the non-probability variation symbol (normal symbol) is temporarily stopped as a jackpot display result and then promoted to the probability variation symbol. In addition, a round promotion effect of promoting from a non-probable change big hit to a probable change big hit may be executed during the big hit game state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The command 8D01 (H) is a first symbol variation designation command indicating that the variable display of the first special figure is started. The command 8D02 (H) is a second symbol variation designation command indicating that the variable display of the second special figure is started.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Main operation of main board 11]
First, the main operation of the main board 11 will be described.

(Special symbol process processing)
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of the game control main process. When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the gaming control main process is executed by the CPU 103.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, the CPU 103 makes necessary initial settings (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output ports, etc.), settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is off, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, for example, if the clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in the ON state is input to the gaming control microcomputer 100. When such a clear signal in the ON state is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the recovery condition is not satisfied. The backup data may be stored in RAM 102, which is a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, and the like may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery conditions can be satisfied.

When the recovery condition is satisfied (Y in step S3), the CPU 103 executes the recovery process (step S4) and then the setting confirmation process (step S5). The CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents of the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped. For example, when the special symbol is changing, the state before the stop is special. It suffices if the fluctuation of the symbol can be resumed.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (N in step S3), the CPU 103 executes the initialization process (step S6) and then the setting change process (step S7). The initialization process in step S6 includes a clear process for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and the initial value is set in the work area by executing the clear process.

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

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

When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, it may be in the gaming stop state in which the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. When the game is stopped, the launch of the game ball by the operation of the hitting ball operation handle 30, the detection of the game ball by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the lost symbol etc. is stopped and displayed, or the game stopped state different from the lost symbol. It suffices to control so that the display corresponding to is performed. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, the CPU 103 determines whether or not a predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is turned on when the power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is in the ON state.

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting change state in which the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be changed is set, and the setting is set from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the set value is displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 29 is sequentially updated and displayed. After that, the CPU 103 stores (updates and stores) the set value displayed on the display monitor 29 in the backup area of the RAM 102 based on the fact that the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a staff member of the game hall or the like. Turn off the display monitor 29. When the setting change state is terminated, the setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12.

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

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

The clear signal is turned on by, for example, a pressing operation of the clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17. Therefore, when the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is on when the power supply is started, if the clear switch 92 is on, the initialization process of step S6 is performed. The setting change process of step S7 is executed and the setting change state can be controlled. If the clear switch 92 is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 and the setting confirmation state can be controlled. .. If the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is off or the setting key 51 is off when the power supply is started, if the clear switch 92 is on, the initialization process of step S6 is performed. While it is executed, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch 92 is off, the recovery process of step S4 is executed but not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

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

(Timer interrupt processing for game control)
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of game control timer interrupt processing. When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 19 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to enter the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, the CPU 103 performs an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing a predetermined main-side error process, and can generate a warning if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, the CPU 103 starts the jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.) supplied to, for example, a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing a predetermined information output process. Data such as information (information indicating the number of start winnings and the like) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times the probability change state has been reached) are output (step S23).

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

Following the special symbol process process, the normal symbol process process is executed (step S26). By executing the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, the CPU 103 manages the execution and hold of the normal figure game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passing of the game ball through the passing gate 41). It enables opening control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per-figure". The execution of the normal map game is performed by driving the normal map display unit 26, and the number of reserved normal maps is displayed by turning on the normal map storage display unit 25.

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

(Special symbol process processing)
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. The special symbol process process is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, a process of pre-reading and determining a display result or a fluctuation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After storing the hold information and the number of hold storages, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the judgment result such as the occurrence of the start winning prize, the number of hold storages, and the look-ahead judgment is set on the effect control board 12. Will be. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 19 after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

After executing the start winning determination process in step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes of steps S110 to S117 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In each process (steps S110 to S117) of the special symbol process process, a transmission setting for transmitting an effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

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

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

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

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

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. In this special symbol variation processing, the processing for setting the special symbol to be varied in the special diagram 1 variable display unit 21 and the special diagram 2 variable display unit 22 and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol are performed. It includes processing to measure. In addition, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol reaches the special symbol fluctuation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop processing in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop processing, the special symbol 1 variable display unit 21 and the special diagram 2 variable display unit 22 stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, and stop display (derive) the confirmed special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. Contains the process of making settings for. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". If the display result is "missing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "missing", the game state is also updated when the time saving state or the probable change state is controlled and the end of the number of times cut is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

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

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

The post-processing after opening the jackpot in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this big hit post-opening process, there is a process of determining whether or not the number of rounds to be executed with the big winning opening open has reached the set maximum number of executions, and a big hit game state when the maximum number of executions has been reached. It includes the process of making settings to terminate. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the upper limit, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of round executions reaches the upper limit, the special figure process flag is set. The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (N in step S73), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

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

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

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

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

(Production control process processing)
FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process process. The effect control process process is a process executed in step S76 of FIG. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 31, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, setting, and the like for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes any of the following processes of steps S170 to S175 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After executing the process of step S7109, the effect device (image display device 5 as an effect component, various lamps as an effect component, and various lamps as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data (display control execution data, brightness data, sound number data), and Control of the speakers 8L, 8R) as production parts) is started (step S7110). For example, according to the display control execution data, the image display device 5 outputs a command to display an image (including an effect symbol) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. In addition, a control signal (lamp control data) is output to the LED driver in order to control lighting / extinguishing of light emitters such as various LEDs. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command is set in the fluctuation display time timer (step S7111), and the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S172). (Step S7112), the variable display start setting process ends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[About fanning 7 and 8]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At the final time tb18 of the fanning part of the SP reach A in the first half of the SP, Yumemu-chan explodes before the hit / fail decision (big hit, loss, development in the second half of the SP reach) as shown in FIG. 67 (b18). The frame lamp lights up in white in response to the production that incites whether or not to catch. At time tb18, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 for a maximum of 10 minutes.

Further, the child table WD8 is used for lamp control of the frame lamp corresponding to the first half portion (falling portion) of the accessory operation shown in FIGS. 171 (h1) to (h3) (FIGS. 83 (h1) to (h3)). Be done.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Brightness data table used in the epilogue part per reach A in the latter half of SP]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Brightness data table used in fanfare repertoire]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A promotion display is made to encourage the player to perform a specific action.
Performed between the introductory part and the epilogue part,
The movable body moves after the promotion display is performed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Win / Fail 5]
When the expansion display is performed while the promotion display is being performed, it progresses later than before the promotion display is performed.

Specifically, the effect that progresses during the display of the promotion display is slower than the effect that was executed before the promotion display was displayed. According to this, the player can pay attention to the promotion display for operating the operation means, and the promotion display and the progress of the production can be balanced. It should be noted that the effect progressing during the display of the promotion display may be slower than the effect progressing during the display of the introduced image.

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

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

[Epilogue 1]
The epilogue part is a blessing part after the decision to be controlled to the advantageous state is notified, there is a scene where the enemy character is killed, there is no scene where the ally character is damaged, and the number of display changes is introduced. Less than a part.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The light emitting means is controlled by using the brightness data table for the purpose, and the light emitting means is controlled by continuously using the brightness data table for the rainbow light emitting mode even during the subsequent symbol determination period.
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare effect, the brightness data table for rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect, and the light emission means is controlled by using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect. ..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Re-lottery production 14]
The effect executing means can execute a notification effect to notify whether or not the effect is controlled in an advantageous state.
The advantageous state includes a first advantageous state and a second advantageous state that is more advantageous than the first advantageous state.
The notification effect is an introduction part until the right / wrong is notified whether or not it is controlled in an advantageous state, a right / wrong notification part in which the right / wrong is notified, and the fact that the notification effect is controlled to the advantageous state after the right / wrong notification. Consists of an epilogue part that is executed when is determined, and a re-lottery part that is executed after the epilogue part.
The re-lottery part includes the first half part and the second half part,
The means of executing the production is
When it is determined that the control is to be controlled to the second advantageous state, the first symbol is displayed in the first half part of the plurality of types of re-lottery effects, and then the first symbol is replaced with another symbol. , It is possible to execute the first re-lottery effect that displays the second symbol in the latter half part.
When it is determined that the control is to be controlled to the first advantageous state, the replacement display is performed in the first half part of the plurality of types of re-lottery effects, and the first symbol is displayed again in the second half part. Is feasible and
When it is determined that the control is controlled to the second advantageous state, the second symbol is displayed repeatedly in the first half part, then the second symbol is repeatedly displayed, and the second symbol is displayed again in the second half part. It is possible to execute the third re-lottery production
The first re-lottery effect, the second re-lottery effect, and the third re-lottery effect have the same production scale.
The light emission control means is
In the epilogue part, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table for the rainbow light emitting mode.
In the re-lottery part, the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect, and the first re-lottery effect is supported. The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect.
At a specific timing in the latter half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect is switched to the luminance data table for the rainbow emission mode, and the rainbow emission mode is used. The light emitting means is controlled by using the brightness data table for the purpose, and the light emitting means is controlled by continuously using the brightness data table for the rainbow light emitting mode even during the subsequent symbol determination period.
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare effect, the brightness data table for rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect, and the light emission means is controlled by using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect. ..

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

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

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

[Re-lottery production 16]

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

[Re-lottery production 17]
The animation for displaying the first identification information includes an animation from the display of the symbol to the first position while enlarging.

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

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

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

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

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

The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect.
At a specific timing in the latter half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect is switched to the luminance data table for the rainbow emission mode, and the rainbow emission mode is used. The light emitting means is controlled by using the brightness data table for controlling the light emitting means, and the light emitting means is controlled by continuously using the brightness data table for making the rainbow light emitting mode even during the subsequent symbol determination period.
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare effect, the brightness data table for rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect, and the light emission means is controlled by using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect. ..

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

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

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

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

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

[Re-lottery production 24]
The swaying display of the decorative pattern is displayed with the decorative pattern swaying around the first position.
The shaking display has decorative patterns in the order of 1st position, 2nd position, 3rd position, 2nd position, 1st position, 4th position, 5th position, 4th position, 1st position, and 2nd position. It is positioned, and when the fixed period is reached, the predetermined effect is designed so that the decorative pattern is always displayed in the order of the second position, the first position, and so on.

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

[Re-lottery production 25]
The starting point when the light emitting mode of the light emitting means is made to emit light by the rainbow in the second part is to make the light emitted by the rainbow at the start of the predetermined effect.

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

In the case of transitioning from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part, when the first symbol is transitioned from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing when the first symbol is displayed in the first aspect, and when the first symbol is displayed in the second aspect. There is a time when the epilogue part shifts to the re-lottery part at the timing, and a time when the first symbol shifts from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing displayed in the third aspect.
The effect executing means is a re-lottery from the epilogue part at the timing when the first symbol is displayed in the first aspect and when the first symbol is displayed in the second aspect. In both the transition to the part and the transition from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing when the first symbol is displayed in the third aspect, a specific display is performed to make the first symbol difficult to see. The first symbol is displayed in a common display mode, and the first re-lottery effect or the second re-lottery effect is executed.
The light emission control means is
In the epilogue part, the light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table for the rainbow light emitting mode.
In the re-lottery part, the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect, and the first re-lottery effect is supported. The light emitting means is controlled by using the luminance data table or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect.
At a specific timing in the latter half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect is switched to the luminance data table for the rainbow emission mode, and the rainbow emission mode is used. The light emitting means is controlled by using the brightness data table for the purpose, and the light emitting means is controlled by continuously using the brightness data table for the rainbow light emitting mode even during the subsequent symbol determination period.
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare effect, the brightness data table for rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect, and the light emission means is controlled by using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare effect. ..

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 266, when the image showing the stick controller 31A and the time gauge are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, regardless of the timing of the operation, after that, A time for shaking the symbol for absorbing the scale may be provided in the time until the predetermined timing when the re-lottery effect is executed (the period of shaking of the symbol from (K4)). Then, when the re-lottery effect is executed at a predetermined timing, a common effect accompanied by a whiteout as shown in (K8) to (K17) may be executed. According to this, regardless of the timing at which the stick controller 31A is operated, the symbol is once shaken and displayed, and then the common effect accompanied by whiteout is executed, and then the re-lottery effect is executed. Therefore, at the start of the re-lottery. It is possible to prevent the movement of the pattern from causing a sense of discomfort, and it is possible to make a series of effects more suitable.

[Re-lottery production 27]
The re-lottery effect is the same regardless of which of the multiple types of introduction parts is used.

Specifically, from the time when the whiteout screen is displayed until the re-lottery effect is executed, any of a plurality of reach may be common. According to this, the data capacity of the production data can be reduced.

[Re-lottery production 28]
The movement of the decorative design after the specific display is an extension of the movement in which the decorative design was once swayed and displayed before the specific display.

Specifically, the movement of the symbol after the whiteout screen may be an extension of the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen. For example, if the movement of the design in front of the whiteout screen is a movement that sways between the front side and the back side by the axis rotation around the vertical direction of the design, the movement after the whiteout screen is It may be a movement that makes one full clockwise rotation by rotating the axis around the vertical direction of the symbol while enlarging. According to this, by displaying a whiteout between the movements on the extension of the same axis rotation, it is possible to prevent the pattern from causing a sense of discomfort, and a series of effects can be preferably shown. be able to.

[Re-lottery production 29]
Multiple types of introduction parts are branches of notification of whether or not they are controlled in an advantageous state, and include predetermined introduction parts that are not notified triggered by the operation of the operating means.
In the predetermined introduction part, there is no point where the scale shifts, so if it is decided that the predetermined introduction part will be controlled in an advantageous state, the decorative pattern will be temporarily stopped until the re-lottery effect is executed. There is no blurring in the shaking display, but the same re-lottery effect as the reach where the scale shift occurs is executed.

Specifically, among the plurality of SP reach, there is one in which the promotion of operation such as a button operation is not notified at the branch at the time of determining whether or not the control is in an advantageous state. In such SP reach, the scale shift due to the operation does not occur. However, even with such an SP reach, the same re-lottery effect as the SP reach in which the scale shift occurs may be executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent a sense of incongruity even when there is only one re-lottery effect due to the common effect regardless of the presence or absence of the scale deviation. In addition, the data capacity can be reduced by using one re-lottery effect.

[Re-lottery production 30]
In the flow of going to the re-lottery production after the shaking display of the decorative pattern at the big hit in the predetermined introduction part
The timing for shifting to the re-lottery effect is designed so that the movement is an extension of the decorative pattern after the specific display.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 266, the timing is set so that the movement of the symbol after the whiteout screen is an extension of the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen. For example, the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen is one of a series of movements in which the symbol moves from the right position (K3) to the left position (K6) via the front position (K5). It is designed to be. That is, when the shaking of the symbol is one of a series of clockwise movements, the whiteout by the re-lottery effect is executed, and then the movement of enlarging the symbol and rotating clockwise continues. According to this, it is possible to prevent the movement of the symbol from causing a sense of discomfort due to the series of movements of the clockwise rotating symbol from the period of the symbol shaking to the re-lottery effect.

The small symbols are displayed in the "left" decorative symbol display area 5L, the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C, and the "right" decorative symbol display area 5R. The symbols corresponding to each of the decorative symbols are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

In the "design confirmation", the fluctuations of the fourth symbol unit 50, the special figure 1 variable display unit 53, the special figure 2 variable display unit 54, the decorative symbol, etc. are stopped, and finally the special symbol game is performed. Includes the determination of the design in. For example, a state in which the fluctuation of the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the left decorative symbol display area 5L, the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the middle decorative symbol display area 5C, and the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the right decorative symbol display area 5R has stopped. include.

In the "design confirmation period", the display result is determined by stopping the fluctuation of the fourth symbol unit 50, the special figure 1 variable display unit 53, the special figure 2 variable display unit 54, the decorative symbol, and the like. Includes period. For example, the variation of the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the left decorative symbol display area 5L, the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the middle decorative symbol display area 5C, and the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the right decorative symbol display area 5R stops and is displayed. Includes a deterministic display of the results.

"Reach" continues to be variablely displayed for decorative symbols that have not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbols that have been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 form part of the jackpot combination. For example, the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5L on the left, and the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5R on the right, but the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5C inside. Then, the variable display of the decorative pattern is still continued.

The “turning off” of the lighting means (light emitting means) includes a state in which the value of the luminance data for lighting (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) becomes “0” (value indicating the lowest brightness). In addition, "turning off" of the lighting means (light emitting means) means brightness data corresponding to turning off such that the value of the brightness data for turning on (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is "1" or "2". It may include a state in which the value is close to "0". The state in which the value of the luminance data for turning on (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is close to the luminance data "0" corresponding to extinguishing, such as "1" or "2", is ". It may be included in "lighting" or "substantially extinguished".

The "lighting" or "light emission" of the lighting means (light emitting means) is a state in which the value of the luminance data for lighting (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is higher than that when the lamp is turned off, and the luminance data It includes a state in which the value is equal to or higher than the value of the luminance data (“0”) corresponding to the above-mentioned “off”. "Lighting" includes constant lighting in which the lamps are always lit, wave lighting in which a plurality of lamps are sequentially switched from off to on, and moya lighting in which the lamps are dimly lit while changing the brightness.

"Blinking" of the lighting means (light emitting means) means that the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is in a state other than "turning off", "substantially turning off", or "lighting", and the lamp is "turning on" or "turning off". Includes repeating over time. Further, "blinking" of the lighting means (light emitting means) includes repeating "lighting" and "substantially extinguishing" of the lamp with the passage of time.

The "luminance" is a value indicating the brightness of the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means), and in the present embodiment, the brightness data is represented by a hexadecimal number as the data corresponding to the brightness. For example, when the luminance data used to control a predetermined lamp is "0", the lamp control is performed so that the predetermined lamp has the lowest brightness (the lamp is dark), and the predetermined lamp is controlled. When the luminance data used for this purpose is "F", the lamp control is performed so that the predetermined lamp has the highest luminance (the lamp is bright). As described above, the luminance data corresponds to the value of the current flowing through the lamp, and when the luminance data used to control the predetermined lamp is "0", the current flowing through the predetermined lamp is the smallest. When the luminance data used to control the predetermined lamp is "F", the current flowing through the predetermined lamp is the largest. The "lamp" is not limited to an LED (light emitting diode) lamp, but includes any kind of lamp such as an EL (electroluminescence) lamp and an incandescent lamp.

The "lighting color" or "emission color" of a lamp includes a color represented by the emission of one or more light emitting elements contained in the lamp. For example, if the lamp is composed of LEDs consisting of three light emitting elements such as "R" (red), "G" (green), and "B" (blue), the 3 is adjusted by the LED driver based on the luminance data. The currents to the three light emitting elements cause the three light emitting elements to emit light, so that the LEDs are lit in various colors. The "lighting color" of the lamp differs depending on the color of the light emitting element. For example, in the case of an LED consisting of only "W" (white) as a light emitting element, the brightness differs depending on the flowing current, but the lamp lights in white, and " In the case of an LED consisting of only R "(red) light emitting elements, the brightness varies depending on the flowing current, but the lamp lights up in red.

The "rainbow color" (seven colors) among the lighting colors of the lamp includes a color composed of seven kinds of colors. For example, "rainbow color" includes red, orange (orange), yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The "rainbow color" is not limited to the colors described above, and may be composed of seven other colors. Even if the same "rainbow color" is used, the lighting mode may differ between the smooth lighting based on the brightness data table (grandchild table) shown in FIG. 225 and the blinking based on the brightness data table (grandchildren table) shown in FIG. 256. In addition, the lighting mode depending on the rainbow color may differ depending on the set luminance data.

The "color corresponding to the character" includes a color predetermined for each character appearing in the production of the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the color corresponding to Yumemu-chan's character is green, the color corresponding to Jam-chan is purple, and the color corresponding to Bakuchu is red.

The “emission color corresponding to the character” is a lighting color (emission color) of the game effect lamp 9, and includes a color predetermined for each character appearing in the production of the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the "emission color corresponding to the character" is the lighting color (emission color) of the game effect lamp 9 in green corresponding to Yumemu-chan's character, and the lighting color of the game effect lamp 9 in purple corresponding to Jam-chan. (Emission color), lighting color (emission color) of the game effect lamp 9 in red corresponding to the explosion chew, and the like are included.

The “serif sound” includes a sound corresponding to the word output at the timing when the character appearing in the pachinko gaming machine 1 utters the word. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a sound (sound) corresponding to a word emitted by the character is output according to the image of the character appearing by the production.

The "serif subtitle" includes characters corresponding to the serif sound displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 when the serif sound is output. Dialogue subtitles are also called subtitle display.

The "physical sound" includes a physical sound generated by the movement of an object such as a character or an object appearing in the production. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a physical sound (physical sound) that will be generated by the movement of the object is output according to the image of an object such as a character or an object that appears by the production.

The "onomatopoeia" includes a pseudo sound that expresses the movement of an object such as a character or an object that appears in the production. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a pseudo sound (onomatopoeia) expressing the movement of the object is output according to the image of the object such as a character or an object appearing by the production.

The "character action" includes an effect in which the character appearing in the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 performs some action. For example, it includes the action of Yumemu-chan's character chasing the character of Baku Chu.

In the "re-lottery effect", the normal jackpot symbol that does not become a probabilistic jackpot in the variable display of the decorative symbol (for example, an even symbol such as the symbol "2") is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then the normal jackpot symbol is a probabilistic jackpot. Includes an effect performed before the symbol is finalized to encourage whether or not it is promoted to a symbol (for example, an odd symbol such as the symbol of "3").

The "replacement display" is an effect included in the "re-lottery effect", and includes an image display in which the decorative symbols that have been temporarily stopped are sequentially replaced with other symbols, so that the decorative symbols are switched one after another. In the present embodiment, the "replacement display" is a display in which the symbol of "2" fluctuates at high speed and is sequentially replaced with another symbol, and finally the symbol of "2" or "3" is stopped. include.

"Repeat display" means repeating the same display, and refers to repeating the display using the same animation. It is an effect included in the "re-lottery effect", and includes a display in which a temporarily stopped decorative pattern is displayed many times with the same animation. As an example, the "repeated display" includes a display in which the symbol "7" is sequentially replaced with another symbol while fluctuating at high speed, and finally the symbol "7" is stopped.

"Shaking display" is to display the decorative pattern while shaking it, and indicates that the fluctuation has not been completed and is being changed.

The "stop display" is to display the decorative symbol still without moving it, and indicates that the fluctuation has ended.

The "swaying speed" is the speed at which the decorative symbol operates from the first position to the second position when the decorative symbol is displaying shaking.

The "first aspect of the symbol", the "second aspect of the symbol", and the "third aspect of the symbol" are aspects indicating the position of the decorative symbol. For example, in the case where the decorative pattern is swayed up and down, when the first aspect is the central position, the second aspect is the upper position and the third aspect is the lower position. Further, in the case where the decorative pattern is swayed and displayed in the front-back direction, when the first aspect is the front position, the second aspect is the position facing left and the third aspect is the position facing right.

The "fanfare effect" is an effect executed at the start of the big hit game state to notify that the big hit game state has been reached.

The "advancement" of a movable body (feature) is an action in which the movable body (feature) moves from the initial position. The position at the end of the movable area where the accessory moves is the advance position.

"" Evacuation "of a movable body (feature)" is an operation in which a movable body (feature) moves from an advance position to an initial position. The initial position in the movable area where the accessory moves is the evacuation position.

The "effect display for moving the movable body" is a display for enhancing the visual effect around the accessory on the screen as the accessory moves to the advanced position as the movable body. For example, an effect image is displayed to make the character movement stand out according to the character movement when the reach develops in the latter half or when a big hit is notified.

"Story development" refers to the progress of a story or a series of productions. That is, the story of a series of flows is not interrupted due to a change of scenes, and the story is continuously displayed to the player.

"Part, scene" refers to the group that constitutes the production, and the part is a larger group than the scene. The parts are divided by role.

"Scene switching"
Switching scenes mainly means switching the display, and in particular, switching the displayed background, characters, and the like.

"Cut-in display" is an effect in which another image is interrupted and displayed in the displayed image. In addition, the cut-in display can indicate the degree of expectation of a big hit with the color of the cut-in display. For example, when the cut-in display is red, the jackpot expectation is higher than when it is green.

"Switching display (eye catch display)" is an effect displayed when changing scenes. In the present embodiment, the eye-catching display is used when the scene is changed from the state showing the loss to the state of the normal game. The eye-catching display has the role of making it easy to understand that the super reach has ended.

In the "shield display (shutter display)", the image display device 5 displays an image such as a shutter so as to cover the entire area displayed by the image display device 5, and the image displayed before the shield display is displayed. Is a display that shields. The obstruction display may obscure the image by displaying something other than the shutter.

"Switching the luminance data" means that the timer of the luminance data defined in the grandchild table becomes 0 and the next luminance data is used. By switching the luminance data, the light emitting mode of the lamp is switched. By switching the light emission mode of the lamp, the player is given the impression that the story development of the currently displayed scene is updated.

"The luminance data does not switch" means that the timer of the luminance data defined in the grandchild table does not become 0, and the luminance data continues to be used. Since the luminance data is not switched, the light emission mode of the lamp becomes constant. By making the light emitting mode of the lamp constant, the player is given the impression that the story development of the currently displayed scene is not updated and is stopped.

"Video data" is data for displaying a video including animation. The images displayed on the image display device 5 are switched at high speed for several tens of images per second to make them appear to be moving. The moving image data may be compressed and retained.

The "first moving image data" is moving image data created by using many images in order to operate a character among the moving image data.

The "second moving image data" is moving image data created by using a small number of images in order to operate the character among the moving image data.

The "movement of a specific character" is a movement corresponding to a specific character among a plurality of characters appearing in the production.

The "blackout" is an effect of displaying a black image in the display area to darken (blackout) the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. The blackout may be in a mode in which the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot differs depending on the duration of the darkened state.

The “whiteout” is an effect of displaying (whitening out) a white image in the display area in order to make the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 invisible. The whiteout may be in such a manner that the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot differs depending on the duration of the state in which the white image is displayed.

The "specific display that makes it difficult to see" means that an image for making the displayed decorative pattern invisible to the player is displayed on the screen. For example, by displaying (whitening out) a white image on the entire screen, the decorative pattern becomes invisible to the player.

"Fade effect" refers to fade-in and fade-out used in video technology. Fade-in means that the state in which the background image or the like is displayed gradually changes to the state in which a predetermined image is visible. In the present embodiment, for example, an image showing dialogue is gradually displayed from the state where the room background is displayed. Gradually displaying means gradually reducing the transparency of the image showing the dialogue. For example, after displaying the dialogue image with 100% transmittance, the transparency is reduced by 10% every 0.1 seconds to display the dialogue image after 1 second. Further, the fade-out means that, contrary to the fade-in, the state in which the predetermined image is visible overlapping the background image gradually shifts to only the background image. In the present embodiment, for example, the image showing the dialogue is gradually hidden from the state where the image showing the dialogue is displayed on the background of the room. Gradually hiding means gradually increasing the transparency of the image showing the dialogue. For example, after displaying the dialogue image with a transmittance of 0%, the transparency is increased by 10% every 0.1 seconds, so that the dialogue image is hidden after 1 second. Further, the fade effect includes a crossfade in which the fade-in and the fade-out are performed at the same time and the images are exchanged.

<Example of time saving control without hitting>
Next, an example of executing a time saving control that does not go through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.) as a time saving state will be described.
(Example of time saving control using time saving symbol)

(A1) In each of the above-mentioned feature portions and modified examples, the transition to the time saving state (high base state) always shifts via the big hit state or the small hit state in which the special variable winning ball device 7A operates. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when a time-saving symbol is derived and displayed as a special symbol, the time-saving state (high base) without operating the special variable winning ball device 7A. It may be made to shift to the state). That is, as the time saving state, the time saving control may be executed without going through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.).

(A2) As the above-mentioned time-saving symbols, these time-saving symbols may be a part of a lost symbol or a part of a small hit symbol.

(A3) Further, when the lottery process relating to the derivation display of the time-saving symbol is performed, the lottery may be executed by using a dedicated random number for the time-saving symbol lottery in these lottery processes, or the lottery random number of the lost symbol. Or a random number for performing other lottery such as a lottery random number of a big hit symbol, a lottery random number of a small hit symbol, a random number for determining a big hit lottery, and a lottery random number of a fall lottery, the lottery may be performed.

(A4) Further, these time-saving symbols may be a plurality of types of symbols, and may be used in combination with other symbols such as a small hit symbol or a combination of symbols displayed as a lost symbol. In this case, it may be determined whether or not the time saving state is changed depending on the small hit symbol used together. However, if the time saving symbol is won, the presence or absence of the transition to the time saving state will not be drawn by lottery, and the number of time saving will not be drawn.

(A5) Further, in the case of drawing a time-saving symbol and the set value can be changed, the lottery probability of the time-saving symbol does not change according to the set value, that is, the time-saving symbol is used for all the set values. Although the lottery probabilities are the same, the lottery probabilities of these time-saving symbols may be different between the first special figure and the second special figure.

(A6) Regarding the timing of random number acquisition when drawing a lottery for time-saving symbols, regardless of whether a dedicated random number is used or another random number is used, the start port (first start). It may be at the time of winning a prize at the winning opening, the second starting winning opening).

(A7) Regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol is drawn, when using a dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number), the lottery result by the dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number) is used as the winning value, and the time-saving symbol is drawn. When a small hit symbol random number is used, a specific small hit symbol random number value can be used as the winning value, and when a fall lottery judgment value random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, the fall lottery judgment value random number can be used as the winning value. , A lottery using a structure, for example, a time saving area may be provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7A, and the time saving symbol may be won when the game ball passes through the time saving area.

(A8) In the case where the lottery of the time-saving symbol is performed using the structure, when the small hit symbol is used in combination with the time-saving symbol, the variable display number (time-saving number) of the time-saving state is determined by the presence or absence of passing through the time-saving region. Make sure it doesn't change.

(A9) Regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol is drawn, when the lost symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, the specific lost symbol random number value is used as the winning value, and the big hit symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery. In that case, a specific jackpot symbol random number value can be used as the winning value. However, when these random values are used as winning values, the performances other than the jackpot probability differ depending on the setting, so it is possible only if the set value cannot be changed.

(A10) Further, the determination timing of the lottery result of the time-saving symbol may be executed at the timing after the jackpot determination. In addition, the lottery of the time saving symbol is not executed in the time saving state (high base) or the high probability time regardless of the random number value used for the lottery, and is executed only in the low probability low base state. .. However, if the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed in the state where the time-saving is already in the state, even if the number of times of time-saving is reset or the lottery is not performed, it may be determined for each gaming machine.

(A11) Further, regarding the number of time reductions when the time reduction symbol is derived and displayed, it is possible to have a plurality of predetermined number of time reductions according to the winning value (symbol) and the game state. In addition, it is possible to make the conditions for granting the time reduction different for each time saving symbol.

(A12) Further, when the number of time reductions differs depending on the time reduction symbol, the time reduction symbol distribution lottery can be changed between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2.

(A13) Further, even when the same time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time-savings given may be different depending on the gaming state at that time. However, it is required to be predetermined for the gaming state.

(A14) Further, the lottery result of "0 times of time saving" can be included as the lottery result of the time saving symbol in the low probability low base state.

(A15) Further, the number of times the time reduction end symbol is derived and displayed (time reduction end lottery) is executed, and the number of time reductions is set to the number of times until the time reduction end symbol is derived and displayed after the time reduction start, or until the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed. good. That is, in principle, the number of time reductions may not be set and may be unlimited.

(A16) Further, the number of time reductions and the granting condition may be different between the time reduction state controlled by the time reduction symbol and the time reduction state controlled by the occurrence of a big hit.

(A17) Further, when the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the timing of being controlled to the time-saving state is the time when the symbol determination time of the time-saving symbol has elapsed. However, in the case where a small hit symbol random number is used for the lottery of the time saving symbol, when the small hit is won and the time saving state is entered, the end time of the small hit operation is controlled to the time saving state.

(A18) Further, in the case of a lottery using the structure, the timing controlled to the time saving state is the timing at the end of the operation of the structure in the gaming state (for example, the small hit state) in which the structure is operated.

(A19) Further, in the case of a gaming machine (so-called specified number of probability change machines (ST machines)) controlled to a high probability low base state over a predetermined variable display number after a big hit, a high probability at the time of opening the game hall. It is a low-base state, and the high-probability low-base state may be controlled to a time-saving state after the variable display of a predetermined number of times is executed and ended.

(A20) Further, when the time saving limiter function is installed and the time saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time saving limiters is updated.

(A21) Further, the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol may be set to a time different from the symbol confirmation time of other symbols.

(Other time saving control examples using time saving symbols)
As another time saving control using the time saving symbol, the control described below may be executed.

(B1) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game control for shifting from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) is performed, and the special symbol is performed in the time-saving state. Based on the fact that the variable display result of the time saving symbol is displayed, the game control for further shifting from the time saving state to the same time saving state is not performed (even if the time saving symbol is displayed, the time saving state is overwritten (time saving state). May not be controlled to switch the game state). Then, different effects may be produced when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special symbol in the normal state and when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special symbol in the time-saving state (decorative symbol). In the normal state, a special symbol is displayed as a time-saving symbol, and in the time-saving state, a general lost symbol is displayed.) This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B2) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), when the display result of the special symbol is the time-saving symbol, the special symbol displays the common time-saving symbol in the normal state and the time-saving state, and the decorative symbol is in the normal state. A different symbol may be displayed as a display result in the reduced working hours state (for example, the decorative symbol displays a special symbol corresponding to the reduced working hours symbol in the normal state, but simply displays a lost symbol in the reduced working hours state, etc.). Do not display the symbol corresponding to the symbol). As a result, the display result of the decorative pattern in the time-saving state does not give the player a feeling of loss, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game.

(B3) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), in the normal state, an effect suggesting whether or not the display result of the decorative symbol is a special symbol (time saving symbol) is executed, but in the time saving state, the decorative symbol is executed. It is also possible not to execute the effect suggesting whether or not the display result of is a special symbol (time saving symbol). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that the player has lost the display result of the decorative pattern due to the effect in the time-saving state, and to suppress the deterioration of the game interest.

(B4) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), the fixed display time of the decorative symbol (the time for displaying the fixed surface result and then maintaining the display state) differs between the normal state and the time saving state. You may control it. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game without causing the player to feel that the decorative pattern is produced in a short time.

(B5) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time-saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time-saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is completed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. (Display effect, etc.), right-handed game is played in response to right-handed notification (notification to instruct right-handed) during the time-saving state, and variable display based on the hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends. Until all is done. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B6) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time-saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time-saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is completed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. During the time saving state, a right-handed game is played in response to the right-handed notification, and until all the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends is completed. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B7) Left-handed notification is executed in the variable display (first variable display) executed after the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is completed. You may. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B8) When the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information. The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed according to the hit (small hit, big hit) in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed is It may be different. As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B9) In the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends, a common effect is obtained when there is holding storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed and when there is no holding storage information. It is possible to execute different effects after executing (For example, when there is hold storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the fourth hold storage information out of the four remaining hold storage, the third hold memory A common effect that suggests whether or not to return to the time saving state is executed until the variable display based on the information, and a time saving state return effect different from the common effect is executed in the variable display based on the fourth reserved storage information. It may be possible). As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B10) The effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (second variable display) stored based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information. The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed differs depending on the effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed. You may do so. As a result, the production changes according to the game state, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

(B11) Confirmation display time of display result in variable display (second variable display) based on remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends (the display state is maintained after the confirmed surface result is displayed. The fixed display time of the display result in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information is executed may be common. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in control data.

(B12) During the period when the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is executed, the right-handed notification is not executed and the variable display is based on the remaining hold storage information. When the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period when the next variable display is started. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B13) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game control for shifting from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) is performed, and the variable display result is small. It is possible to execute a common specific effect (reach effect, notice effect) depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result) such as a hit symbol or a big hit symbol or a time-saving symbol (special display result). The ratio of the time-saving symbols (special display result) may be different depending on which of the common specific effects provided is executed. Then, when the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the variable display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period at which the next variable display is started. As a result, it is possible to suitably control the effect according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B14) After executing the common specific effect, the display result may be a hit symbol (specific display result) or a time-saving symbol (special display result). As a result, the variation of the effect result of the variable display is abundant, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B15) The CPU 103 for game control has a common variation pattern depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result), a time-saving symbol (special display result), or a lost symbol (predetermined display result). Is selectable, and even when the effect control CPU 120 receives a command for specifying the same fluctuation pattern from the game control CPU 103, different effects are displayed in the variable display according to the type of the symbol specification command that specifies the display result. May be made feasible. As a result, the variation of the variable display effect is enriched, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B16) After executing the common specific effect, it is possible to execute a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the special effect after the execution of the common specific effect.

(B17) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained may or may not be executed (for example, a plurality of types). Of the super reach productions in the above, when performing the production with the higher expectation that it will be a hit, the special production is not executed, etc.). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B19) A predetermined effect different from the common specific effect (for example, an active display whose display mode can be changed depending on the degree of expectation for a hit (a display moved from the display position of the hold display to another display position, and is currently being executed). The degree of expectation (ratio) that becomes the time-saving symbol (special display result) is made different according to the effect mode of the effect) that displays the effect that can suggest the expectation level of the hit corresponding to the variable display of. May be good. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B20) In the special effect that can be executed when the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, after executing the effect (such as the time-saving suggestion effect) that suggests that the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, the winning symbol (specification) is executed. It may be possible to execute an effect (such as a special jackpot whose game value is higher than that of a time-saving state) to notify the display result). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B21) The CPU 103 for game control can be controlled to a time reduction state (special state) in which the number of time reductions (time reduction continuation period) differs according to the types of time reduction symbols (special display results) provided in a plurality of types (for example, the first The 1st time reduction symbol: 50 times of time reduction, the 2nd time reduction symbol: 100 times of time reduction, etc.), the effect control CPU 120 is given when the time reduction symbol is stopped depending on the type of the executed effect (for example, the type of reach effect). You may execute an effect with a different number of time reductions (duration). As a result, depending on the type of production, the player's attention can be focused on the subsequent time reduction, and the game entertainment can be improved.

(B22) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game is controlled to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state), and the progress of the game is controlled. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means), and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. The transmitted command includes a special command that can specify the transition (control) from the normal state to the time saving state (special state), and the effect control CPU 120 executes a plurality of types of commands including the special command. A look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information that is specified to execute the variable display that can shift to the time saving state (special state) based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information when received. You may want to limit the execution (do not execute at all, make it executable in rare cases, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the effect control according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B23) Based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information, the look-ahead for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information specified to execute the variable display capable of shifting (controlling) to the jackpot gaming state (specific game state) is executed. The execution of the advance notice effect may be restricted. Then, as the look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of such a look-ahead notice effect, a common mode of effect may be executed. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B24) The variable display based on the hold storage information for the look-ahead target is a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed, and a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed. In both the display and the case, the execution of the look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information may be restricted. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B25) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute an effect having a higher expectation than a specific expectation (for example, hold when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red). Do not change the display color to red, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state as the game state shifts.

(B26) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute a specific type of effect (for example, when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red, the color of the hold display is changed to red. Do not change, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(Example of time reduction control using the variable display count that resulted in a predetermined display result such as the loss variable display count)
Next, an example of time saving control using a variable display count (number of continuations of variable display that has been lost) that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not result in a big hit, etc.) in a normal state will be described. As shown below, in the time saving state (special state), the number of times the variable display that has become the predetermined display result (missing display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) has reached the special number (for example, 1000 times). May be feasible on condition of. As the predetermined result, the time saving state (special state) may be executed on condition that the number of continuations of the variable display resulting in the loss display result reaches the special number of times.

(C1) A game based on the fact that the variable display result becomes a specific display result after the first variable display by the first special symbol and the second variable display by the second special symbol are performed. It is possible to control to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the person, and the numerical information of the number of executions of the variable display that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) in the normal state is updated, and the numerical information is concerned. Based on the above, when the special condition that the number of executions (continuation) of the variable display resulting in the predetermined display result reaches the special number (for example, 1000 times) is satisfied, the normal state is changed to the time saving state (special state). You may control the game to be transferred. Then, the numerical information may be updated both when the predetermined display result is obtained in the first variable display and when the predetermined display result is obtained in the second variable display. As a result, the numerical information of the number of times that the predetermined display result is obtained is continuously updated regardless of whether the first variable display or the second variable display can be executed, so that the player can be easily rescued due to the time saving state. , It is possible to increase the player's motivation to play. Therefore, it is possible to suitably realize the relief of the player due to the time saving state.

(C2) The special condition is satisfied when it is determined based on the numerical information that a predetermined display result different from the specific display result is continuously displayed a special number of times (for example, 1000 times). You may do it. As a result, when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous, the player can be rescued by shifting to the time saving state (special state), so that the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(C3) The numerical information may be updated when the variable display is executed even in a state different from the normal state (probability change state, time saving state). As a result, the player can be suitably relieved when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous.

(C4) The numerical information may be initialized when a predetermined initialization condition is satisfied. Such an initialization condition may be satisfied by being controlled to the advantageous state. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when it is no longer necessary to rescue the player, such as when the player is in an advantageous state, and it is possible to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary.

(C5) When a special display result (time saving symbol) different from the specific display result is displayed as a variable display result in the normal state, control to shift to the time saving state (special state) can be executed, and the predetermined condition May be established when the special display result is displayed. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when the player no longer needs to be rescued, such as when the player is in a time-saving state (special state) that is advantageous to the player, and to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary. Can be done.

(C6) The predetermined condition may be satisfied when the variable display is executed a special number of times. As a result, it becomes possible to control the time saving state (special state) until the next advantageous state occurs substantially, so that the degree of relief for the player can be increased.

(C7) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the backup is stored when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The data can be initialized, and the numerical information may be initialized when the specific condition is satisfied. As a result, the numerical information backed up at the time of power failure is initialized at the time of data initialization and does not remain, so that it is suppressed from being disadvantageous to the amusement park side.

(C8) Based on the fact that the numerical information has reached the special number of times (for example, 1000 times or more), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) for a period of the special number of times or more (for example, 1000 times or more). In the time saving state (special state), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) again based on the numerical information becoming the special number of times, and the first time saving state (special state) and A different effect may be executed in the second time saving state (special state). As a result, in a game that is in an extremely disadvantageous state such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), the variable display time of the second time saving state is shorter than that of the first time saving state. It is possible to change the appearance of the production, such as, and it is possible to prevent a decline in the interest in the game. It should be noted that the same effect may be executed in the first time saving state (special state) and the second time saving state (special state) without executing such an effect. This makes it possible to prevent the player from being aware that the player is in an extremely disadvantageous state, such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), and suppresses a decline in the interest in the game. be able to.

(C9) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process relating to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and the special condition is satisfied when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value. The third process for controlling the time saving state (special state) based on the above is executed. Also. It is possible to hit the game ball into the first path (left side game area) and the second path (right side game area). In the normal state, the game ball is hit into the first path, and in the time saving state (special state), the second path. A game is played by hitting a game ball into the path. Then, during the execution of the third process, although it is not controlled to the time saving state (special state), it is notified that the second path should be fired (for example, right-handed notification by a right-handed lamp or the like). You may do it. Further, during the execution of the third process, a notification effect of shifting to a time saving state (special state) may be performed. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, by turning on the right-handed lamp by the CPU 103 for game control, it is possible to perform an effect of notifying the firing direction early (before the actual start of the time saving fluctuation) when actually shifting to the time saving state (special state). Will be.

(C10) When the specific display result is displayed in the variable display in which the special condition is satisfied, the second process may be executed after the first process is executed, and the third process may not be executed. .. As a result, since the control to the advantageous state is prioritized over the control to the time saving state (special state) based on the establishment of the special condition, the result is not more advantageous for the player, and the player's hobby of the game is enjoyed. The decrease can be suppressed.

(C11) The numerical information is updated when the variable display is started, and the numerical information becomes a specific value based on the fact that the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times. After the variable display ends (start of next fluctuation, waiting for customers), it is controlled to a time saving state (special state), and when the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times, special information (special number of times reached). When changing the flag) from the first numerical value to the second numerical value (flag set) and controlling to the time saving state (special state), the special information is changed from the second numerical value to the first numerical value (flag reset). You may. As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the control of shifting to the time saving state (special state) by managing the special information.

(C12) The CPU 103 for game control selects and determines a variation pattern of variable display, and selects and determines a variation pattern of a symbol determination time that differs depending on whether the special information is the first information or the second information. You may do so. As a result, when the variable display of the special number of times is executed, the effect can be suitably executed.

(C13) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process related to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value, the special condition is satisfied. The third process for controlling to the original time saving state (special state) is executed. Also. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means) that controls the progress of the game, and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. Then, it may be possible to transmit specific information (background designation, fluctuation pattern) according to the case where the value of the special figure process flag is the second numerical value and the third numerical value in the special state. .. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, different gaming states can be suitably identified, which facilitates gaming control. Then, if the command is different according to the game state identified at that time, the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) can execute suitable effect control according to the game state.

(C14) In the time saving state (special state), when the special condition is satisfied, the value of the special figure process flag is set to the first numerical value, the second numerical value, and the fourth numerical value different from the third numerical value. By doing so, it may be possible to control the time saving state (special state) again. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control.

(C15) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the end of the big hit game state (for example, the time is shortened). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C16) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). The fluctuation time is the same when the time is shortened and when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C17) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time was shortened after the big hit was completed). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C18) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In such a case, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C19) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 has predetermined information (predetermined information) based on the backed up and stored data when the power is turned on. It is possible to transmit a ram clear command at the time of cold start and a command for notifying the number of fluctuations displayed until the end of the time saving state at the time of hot start) to the effect control CPU 120, and the effect control CPU 120 receives the predetermined information. A suggestion effect regarding the number of times the variable display was executed in a predetermined period after the power was turned on (so-called morning appearance is different, the background image is different, and an effect that suggests whether it is far or near within 100 rotation fluctuation is executed. (Easy, etc.) may be made feasible. It is possible to give the player a motivation to play the game in the morning, so that the operating rate of the game machine increases and the processing load does not increase.

(C20) The game control CPU 103 can transmit specific information (a command capable of specifying information related to the time saving state) to the effect control CPU 120 in connection with the execution of the variable display, and the effect control CPU 120 is capable of transmitting the effect control CPU 120. It may be possible to execute a special effect (such as an effect of suggesting the end of the number of time-saving states) related to being controlled to a special state based on the establishment of a special condition based on the specific information. Then, as the specific information, the first specific information (first background designation, dedicated countdown effect) capable of specifying that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is a predetermined value (for example, 127) or less is specified. Information) and second specific information (such as a command that counts down every 100 rotations) that can specify that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is larger than a predetermined value (for example, 127). May be good. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly causing a loss by periodically suggesting the function to the player, and it is possible to suitably realize the command processing.

(C21) The effect control CPU 120 is put into a time saving state (special state) when the special condition is satisfied, based on the execution of the variable display of the first predetermined number of times (for example, 300 times) less than the special number of times. It is possible to execute a suggestion effect (for time saving state suggestion effect control) suggesting that it is controlled, and a second predetermined number of times (for example, a second predetermined number of times) less than the first predetermined number of times is executed before the variable display of the special number of times is executed. It is possible to execute the suggestion effect every time the variable display (such as 100 times) is executed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly losing the player by suggesting the function to the player on a regular basis.

(C22) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 is used when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 has the special condition (variable) after the backup-stored data is initialized and before the specific display result is displayed. The special display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the display count condition) and after the backup-stored data is initialized. A different effect (such as a different effect when shifting to the time-saving state) is executed when the state is controlled to the special state based on the satisfaction of the condition and when the time-saving state (special state) is controlled. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. In addition, the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized depending on the difference in the production. Therefore, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability setting can be changed, the setting is changed. Since it is possible to grasp the possibility that the setting has been made, the elements for guessing the setting are increased and the game entertainment can be improved.

(C23) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 is used when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 has the special condition (variable) after the backup-stored data is initialized and before the specific display result is displayed. The special display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the display count condition) and after the backup-stored data is initialized. When the condition is controlled based on the condition, different effects are executed after being controlled to the time saving state (special state) (the effect after shifting to the time saving state is different, etc.). As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. In addition, the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized depending on the difference in the production. Therefore, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability setting can be changed, the setting is changed. Since it is possible to grasp the possibility that the setting has been made, the elements for guessing the setting are increased and the game entertainment can be improved.

(D1) The execution ratio of the group notice effect may be different depending on whether the result of the variable display is the result of deriving the reduced working hours symbol, the case where the big hit occurs, or the case where the loss occurs.

The average time for switching to the next luminance data after the luminance data of 1 is used in the luminance data table corresponding to the first epilogue part is after the luminance data of 1 is used in the luminance data table corresponding to the second epilogue part. It is set shorter than the average time to switch to the next brightness data,
Moreover,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 279) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. With crowd notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
In the first display period, from the first situation in which a part of the first displayed character is displayed, a part of the first displayed character is displayed more than in the first situation and second. A gaming machine in which a part of the displayed character is displayed in the second situation (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 289 and 326) can be mentioned.
According to this feature, the notification effect to be executed can be executed with suitable luminance control, and the interest is improved. Further, according to such a configuration, the group effect can be more preferably executed.

That is, by setting different brightness depending on whether or not the notification effect is controlled to the advantageous state, the appropriate effect is executed and the expectation for the advantageous state is given, and the first in the first display period. From the first situation where a part of the character displayed in is displayed, a part of the first displayed character is displayed more than the first situation, and a part of the second displayed character is displayed. After the second situation is reached, in the second display period longer than the first display period, the new display of the character and the end of the display of the displayed character continue, so that it is single. By eliminating the situation where only the character of is displayed, it is possible to surely inform the player that the group production is performed, and the start and continuation of the group production can be preferably executed to improve the interest of the group production. That is, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that does not easily reduce the interest of the game when installed in the gaming field and can improve the player's motivation to play.

Further, as an example of a form of a gaming machine capable of improving the interest, a player is in an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) based on the fact that the display result of the variable display becomes a specific display result. A controllable gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1)
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 279) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. With crowd notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
In the first display period, a part of the first displayed character is displayed more than the first situation from the first situation in which a part of the first displayed character is displayed, and the second situation. A gaming machine in which a part of the displayed character is displayed in the second situation (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 289 and 326) can be mentioned. An example of the form of this gaming machine will be described below as another example of the form.

(Example of other forms)

FIG. 274 is a view looking through between the game board 2 and the image display device 5. As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 2 is fixed so as to cover the edge of the screen of the image display device 5. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 274, when looking between the game board 2 and the image display device 5, the edge of the screen of the image display device 5 located on the back side of the game board 2 can be visually recognized. ..

FIG. 275 is a diagram for explaining an example of the total variation pattern on the sub side. Further, on the sub side as well, the fluctuation patterns of the sub fluctuation numbers 1 to 26 are defined so as to correspond to each of the fluctuation patterns of the main fluctuation numbers 1 to 26.

[Each notice production]
FIG. 276 is a diagram for explaining a lottery table in each notice effect. In the present embodiment, a notice effect suggesting that the display result of the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined jackpot symbol may be executed. The notice effect is also an effect that suggests or foretells the occurrence of a big hit, and is also an effect that makes the player expect a big hit. The advance notice effect includes a group advance notice effect (also referred to as a group advance notice or a group effect) and an SP first half title advance notice effect (also referred to as an SP first half title advance notice).

The group notice effect is an effect of displaying an image in which a plurality of objects progress as a group. Multiple objects include any moving object, such as a character such as a person, fish or animal, or a machine such as an airplane or car. The object such as a character may be of one type or may be of a plurality of types. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a plurality of types of group notice effects are provided. Specifically, a 6-person group notice in which 6 characters dressed as maids progress in a group, a Baku Chu group notice in which a mouse character with a bomb body named Baku Chu progresses in a group, A Boingo group notice can be executed in which a character named Boingo progresses as a group.

In the present embodiment, whether or not the group notice effect is executed by the group notice lottery when the post-variation pattern of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8, 10 to 12 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach is determined. Or, the type of group notice effect to be performed is determined.

FIG. 276 (a) shows a lottery table for executing a group notice lottery in stage A. In the present embodiment, even if variable display is performed based on the same fluctuation pattern, a plurality of types of stages having different production modes (background image, BGM, sound effect, appearing character, etc.) are provided. .. As will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, the stage A is a stage in which a character named Yumemu-chan, which is included in the six characters dressed as maids, is directed.

As shown in FIG. 276 (a), when the post-variation pattern of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 corresponding to the loss is determined, the group notice effect is executed with a probability of 15%, and 6 of them have a probability of 6 It will be decided as a group notice, and there is a 2% chance that it will be decided as a Boingo group notice. In addition, when the post-variation pattern of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12 corresponding to the hit is determined, the group notice effect is executed with a probability of 85%, and among them, the group notice effect is determined with a probability of 55%, and 30%. It is decided to announce the Boingo group with the probability of.

Here, considering that the probability of losing is about 319/320 and the probability of being determined by the post-variation pattern of post-variation numbers 6 to 8 is about 1/102, the variation numbers 6 to 8 at the time of loss The probability of being determined by the post-variation pattern is about 1/102. In this case, the probability that the group notice will be executed is about 15%, so that the probability that the group notice will be executed at the time of loss is about 0.15%. On the other hand, considering that the probability of becoming a big hit is about 1/320 and the probability of being determined by the posterior variation pattern of posterior variation numbers 10 to 12 is about 1 / 1.1, the variation numbers 10 to 12 at the time of hitting. The probability of being determined by the posterior variation pattern is about 1/320. In this case, the probability that the group notice will be executed is about 85%, so that the probability that the group notice will be executed at the time of hitting is about 0.27%. From this, the probability (reliability, expectation) of a big hit when the group notice is executed is about 64%. The reliability (expectation) of the group notice is not limited to 64%, and if it exceeds 50%, it can be expected that the player will be hit by a big hit.

FIG. 276 (b) shows a lottery table for executing the group notice lottery in stage B. As will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, the stage B is a stage in which a character called Baku Chu is performed.

As shown in FIG. 276 (b), when the post-variation pattern of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 corresponding to the loss is determined, the group notice effect is executed with a probability of 10%, and the explosion is performed with a probability of 8%. It will be decided as a Chu group notice, and there is a 2% chance that it will be decided as a Boingo group notice. In addition, when the post-variation pattern of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12 corresponding to the hit is determined, the group notice effect is executed with a probability of 90%, and among them, the group notice effect is determined with a probability of 60%, and 30 It is decided to be a Boingo group notice with a probability of%.

Here, as described above, the probability of being determined to be the post-variation pattern of the variation numbers 6 to 8 at the time of loss is about 1/102. In this case, the probability that the group notice will be executed is about 10%, so that the probability that the group notice will be executed at the time of loss is about 0.10%. On the other hand, the probability of being determined to be the post-variation pattern of variation numbers 10 to 12 at the time of hit is about 1/320. In this case, the probability that the group notice will be executed is about 90%, so that the probability that the group notice will be executed at the time of hitting is about 0.28%. From this, the probability (reliability, expectation) of a big hit when the group notice is executed is about 74%. The reliability (expectation) of the group notice is not limited to 74%, and if it exceeds 50%, it can be expected that the player will be hit by a big hit.

The SP first half title notice is an effect suggesting that when the SP reach is developed, it will be a big hit depending on the display mode of the character image showing the title of the first half of the SP reach. In the present embodiment, the display of the character image of the SP first half title is executed in both the stage A and the stage B, but the advance notice effect for changing the display mode of the character image of the SP first half title is the case of the stage B. Is only executed. Even in the case of stage A, a notice effect for changing the display mode of the character image of the title in the first half of the SP may be executed.

In the present embodiment, whether or not the SP first half title notice is executed in the SP first half title notice lottery when the post-variation pattern of the post-variation numbers 6 to 12 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach is determined. , And the type of SP first half title notice to be executed is determined.

As shown in FIG. 276 (c), when the posterior variation number 6 to 8 corresponding to the loss is determined, the SP first half title notice is executed with a probability of 20%, and the posterior variation number corresponding to the hit. If the change pattern is determined after 10 to 12, there is an 80% probability that the SP first half title notice will be executed.

Here, as described above, the probability of being determined to be the post-variation pattern of the variation numbers 6 to 8 at the time of loss is about 1/102. In this case, since the probability that the SP first half title notice is executed is about 20%, the probability that the SP first half title notice is executed at the time of loss is about 0.20%. On the other hand, the probability of being determined to be the post-variation pattern of variation numbers 10 to 12 at the time of hit is about 1/320. In this case, since the probability that the SP first half title notice is executed is about 80%, the probability that the SP first half title notice is executed at the time of hitting is about 0.25%. From this, the probability (reliability, expectation) of a big hit when the SP first half title notice is executed is about 56%. The reliability (expectation) of the title notice in the first half of the SP is not limited to 56%, and if it exceeds 50%, it can be expected that the player will be hit by a big hit.

In this way, the reliability (expectation of big hit) in the group notice is 64% (in the case of stage A) and 74% (in the case of stage B), while the reliability in the SP first half title notice (in the case of big hit). Expectation) is 56%, and the group notice is more reliable than the SP first half title notice. Therefore, when the group notice is executed, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than when the SP first half title notice is executed, and the player is executed the group notice rather than the SP first half title notice. I have come to expect.

In addition, the boingo group notice in stage A is executed only with a probability of 2% at the time of loss, whereas it is executed with a probability of 30% at the time of hit, so when the boingo group notice is executed, it is executed. , Almost likely to be a big hit. On the other hand, the 6-person group notice in stage A is executed with a probability of 13% at the time of loss, whereas it is executed with a probability of 55% at the time of hit, so even if the 6-person group notice is executed, it is lost. The probability of being is greater than the Boingo group notice. Therefore, when the Boingo group notice is executed, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than when the 6-person group notice is executed, and the player is executed the Boingo group notice rather than the 6-person group notice. I have come to expect.

Similarly, the boingo group notice in stage B is executed only with a probability of 2% at the time of loss, whereas it is executed with a probability of 30% at the time of hit, so when the boingo group notice is executed. Is likely to be a big hit. On the other hand, the Baku Chu group notice in stage B is executed with a probability of 8% at the time of loss, whereas it is executed with a probability of 60% at the time of hit, so the Baku Chu group notice is executed. The possibility of losing is greater than the Baku Chu Mondai notice. Therefore, when the Boingo group notice is executed, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than when the Baku Chu group notice is executed, and the player executes the Boingo group notice rather than the Baku Chu group notice. I have come to expect that.

Furthermore, the 6-person group notice in stage A is executed with a probability of 13% at the time of loss, whereas it is executed with a probability of 55% at the time of hit. On the other hand, the Baku Chu Mondai notice in stage B is executed with a probability of 8% at the time of loss, and is executed with a probability of 60% at the time of hit. For this reason, the Baku Chu Mondai notice in stage B is executed at a higher rate than the 6-person group notice in stage A at the time of a big hit. As a result, when the Baku Chu Mondai notice is executed in stage B, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than when the 6-person group notice is executed in stage A, and the player has 6 more than the 6-person group notice. We are now expecting the crowd announcement to be carried out.

The reliability of the group notice in the stage A and the reliability of the group notice in the stage B may be designed to be the same. In this case, both the group notice in stage A and the group notice in stage B need to be more reliable than the SP first half title notice, and the boingo group notice is higher than the 6-person group notice and the Baku Chu group notice. It suffices if the reliability is high.

(Variable display start setting process)
FIG. 277 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process. As shown in FIG. 277, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the result of the variable display is determined to be lost (step S7101). If the effect control CPU 120 is determined to be lost, it confirms whether or not a command corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern has been received as the fluctuation pattern command (step S7103).

When the effect control CPU 120 determines that a command corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern has been received, the effect control CPU 120 uses the loss symbol determination data table to determine the display result of the loss that does not reach as the final stop of the effect symbol (step). S7105), the process proceeds to step S7106.

When it is determined in the process of step S7103 that it is not a non-reach variation pattern (when it is determined that it is a reach variation pattern), a stop symbol of the effect symbol constituting the combination of reach symbols is determined (step S7104), and step S7106 Proceed to.

Further, when it is not decided to make a loss in the process of step S7101 (when it is decided to make a big hit), the effect control CPU 101 configures a combination of big hit symbols according to the type of big hit. The stop symbol of the effect symbol is determined (step S7102), and the process proceeds to step S7106.

Next, after executing the effect setting process (step S7106) for performing the process for setting various effects in the variable display (for example, the group notice setting process), the process proceeds to step S7107.

In step S7107, the effect control pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types of effect control patterns. In step S7107, the symbol variation control is performed according to the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command and various effect control (effect operation) patterns specified by the effect control pattern of the effect determined in the process of step S7106. Among the plurality of types of symbol variation control patterns stored in the pattern table, one of the effect control patterns corresponding to the specified various effect operation patterns is selected and determined as the pattern to be used.

In the control pattern table stored in the ROM 121, for example, the effect symbol in the display area of the image display device 5 during the period from the start of the change of the effect symbol to the stop display of the final stop symbol. Data showing the control contents of various production operations such as the fluctuation display operation, the effect display operation in the reach effect, the effect display operation by the pseudo-ream effect, and the effect display operation in the advance notice effect are stored as a plurality of types of symbol variation control patterns. Has been done.

Further, each symbol variation control pattern is used for displaying variation of the effect symbol such as the effect control process timer setting value, the effect control process timer determination value, the effect display control data, the voice control data, the lamp control data, and the end code. It includes control data for controlling various effect operations according to the situation, and the contents of various effect controls, the switching timing of the effect control, and the like are set in time series.

Next, the process table corresponding to the effect control pattern is selected (step S7108). Then, the process timer (effect setting process timer) in the process data of the selected process table is started (step S7109).

After executing the process of step S7109, the effect device (image display device 5 as an effect component, various lamps as an effect component, etc.) according to the contents of the process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound number data). Then, the control of the speakers 8L, 8R) as the effect component is started (step S7110). For example, according to the display control execution data, the image display device 5 outputs a command to display an image (including an effect symbol) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting / extinguishing of light emitters such as various LEDs. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command is set in the fluctuation display time timer (step S7111), and the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S172). (Step S7112), the variable display start setting process ends.

(Group notice setting process)
FIG. 278 is a flowchart showing an example of the group notice setting process. The group notice setting process is a process included in the variable display start setting process (step S171).

As shown in FIG. 278, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a variation pattern command capable of executing the group advance notice has been received (step S7061). Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 issues a variation pattern command including a posterior variation pattern of posterior variation numbers 6 to 8 at the time of loss, and a variation pattern including a posterior variation pattern of posterior variation numbers 10 to 12 at the time of hitting. Determine if a command has been received. The variation pattern including the posterior variation pattern of the posterior variation numbers 6 to 8 is the variation pattern of the main variation numbers 8 to 15, and the variation pattern including the posterior variation pattern of the posterior variation numbers 10 to 12 is the main variation number 18. It is a fluctuation pattern of ~ 26.

When the effect control CPU 120 has not received the variation pattern command capable of executing the group notice (N in step S7061), the process ends. On the other hand, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command capable of executing the group notice (Y in step S7061), the effect control CPU 120 converts the variation time of the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern command into the number of frames (step S7062). For example, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the main variation number 22, since the pre-variation time is 41500 msec, the number of frames is about 1246, and since the post-variation time is 91900 msec, the number of frames is about 3000. Further, for example, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the main variation number 26, since the pre-variation time is 62000 msec, the number of frames is about 1861, and since the post-variation time is 142,800 msec, the number of frames is about 4288. ..

The effect control CPU 120 executes a group notice lottery (step S7063). Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 uses the group notice lottery table shown in FIGS. 276 (a) and 276 (b) to determine whether or not to execute the group notice based on the post-variation number, and to execute the group notice. Determine the type of.

The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the group has won the advance notice lottery. If the effect control CPU 120 is not won in the group notice lottery (N in step S7064), the process ends. On the other hand, when the effect control CPU 120 wins in the group notice lottery (Y in step S7064), the effect control pattern for executing the group notice according to the stage is extracted (step S7065), and the process ends.

For example, as shown in Example 1, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 22 and in the case of stage A, the effect control is performed so that the group notice is executed from the 985th frame among the 1246 frames in the previous fluctuation. The pattern is set. Further, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 22, and in the case of the stage B, the effect control pattern is set so as to execute the group notice from the 1385th frame out of the 3000 frames in the post-variation.

For example, as shown in Example 2, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 26 and in the case of stage A, the effect control is performed so that the group notice is executed from the 1600th frame among the 1861 frames in the previous fluctuation. The pattern is set. Further, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 26 and in the case of the stage B, the effect control pattern is set so as to execute the group notice from the 2000th frame among the 4288 frames in the post-variation.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the case of stage A, the group notice is executed in the pre-variation, whereas in the case of stage B, the group notice is executed in the post-variation. There is.

(Group notice execution processing)
FIG. 279 is a flowchart showing an example of the group advance notice execution process. The group advance notice execution process is a process included in the variable display during effect process (step S172).

As shown in FIG. 279, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts one frame at a time from the number of frames corresponding to the effect control pattern set in the variable display start setting process (step S7201). For example, when the effect control pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the main variation number 26 is set, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts one frame from the 6149th frame, which is the total number of frames.

When the effect control pattern for executing the group advance notice is not set (N in step S7202), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process. On the other hand, when the effect control pattern for executing the group notice is set (Y in step S7202), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the frame of the group notice execution timing has been reached (S7203). For example, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the 1600th frame has been reached in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 26 and in the case of the stage A.

When the effect control CPU 120 has not reached the frame of the execution timing of the group notice (N in step S7203), the process ends. On the other hand, when the effect control CPU 120 reaches the frame of the execution timing of the group notice (Y in step S7203), the effect control CPU 120 controls various effect devices to execute the group notice (step S7204). For example, the effect control CPU 120 controls the game effect lamp 9 to turn on, blink, or turn off the game effect lamp 9 based on the group notice lighting table shown in FIGS. 294 to 300, which will be described later, and controls the speakers 8R and 8L. Controls to output sound. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the process.

[Outline of the progress of the game]
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above, the game proceeds as follows. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the player first hits the left side to launch the game ball toward the first flow path passing through the area on the left side of the game area. When the fired game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game is started. As a result of the first special figure game, when the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 becomes a display mode showing a big hit symbol, a big hit occurs.

As described above, the types of jackpots in the first special figure game include normal jackpots 1 and 2, and probabilistic jackpots 1 to 4. When a big hit occurs, a fanfare effect is executed, and a right-handed promotion effect that urges the player to strike right is executed. As a right-handed promotion effect, characters (for example, "right-handed") and figures (for example, an arrow directed to the right, which is the direction of the second flow path) that encourage right-handedness are displayed on the screen of the image display device 5. In addition to displaying an image, the right-handed display unit 30 of the special figure LED board 20 and the right-handed display unit 55 of the fourth symbol unit 50 also prompt right-handed by lighting a lighting means such as an LED. As a result, the player will hit right after that.

During the round of the big hit game state, the big winning openings are opened for a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times in the case of a normal big hit of 3R and 10 times in the case of a probable big hit of 10R). One opening of the big winning opening is between the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). It will continue until the earlier timing.

When the ending effect after the big hit game state is completed, the game state is controlled to the reduced working hours state over a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times). Further, when a V prize is generated during the big hit round, the gaming state is controlled to the probable change state over a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) controlled in the time saving state.

Even in the probability change state or the time saving state after the big hit round, the right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55. For this reason, the player is always urged to hit right by the right-handed promotion effect even in the time-saving state after the big hit round is completed after the first big hit (also referred to as the first hit) occurs.

In the time-saving state, control is executed to shorten the average special map fluctuation time (period in which the special map is changed) from the normal state, and the average normal figure fluctuation time (period in which the normal map is changed) is executed. Is executed to be shorter than the normal state, and further, the control to improve the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the normal figure game is executed. Further, in the time saving state, the frequency at which the variable winning ball device 6B forming the second starting winning opening is opened is increased, so that the frequency at which the game ball enters the second starting winning opening is increased and the second starting is performed. Electric chew support control may be performed to facilitate winning a prize in the winning opening (higher entry, higher frequency).

In the time saving state after the big hit round, the second special figure game is started by the launched game ball entering the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B. As a result of the second special figure game, when the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 becomes a display mode showing a big hit symbol, a big hit (also referred to as a continuous chan hit) occurs.

As described above, there are 5 to 9 probabilistic jackpots as the types of jackpots in the second special figure game. When a big hit occurs, a fanfare effect is executed. The right-handed promotion effect by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55 has continued from the time of the first hit.

During the round of the big hit game state, the big winning opening is opened for a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times). One opening of the big winning opening is between the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). It will continue until the earlier timing.

Then, when the ending effect after the big hit game state is completed, the game state is controlled to the reduced time state and the probable change state (high probability high base state) over a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) as in the case of the first hit. Will be done. Even in the probable change state after the big hit round in the continuous chan, the right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55. For this reason, after the first hit occurs, the player will be hit by consecutive chans in the probable change state or time saving state after the big hit round is finished, and the player will be in the probable change state or time saving after the big hit round per continuous chan is finished. Even in the state, you are always encouraged to hit right by the right-handed promotion effect.

The probabilistic state or time saving state after the big hit round of the first hit ends, and the probable change state or time saving state ends without a big hit occurring in either the probable change state or the time saving state after the big hit round per consecutive chan ends. Then, the gaming state is controlled to the normal state (low accuracy and low base state), and the right-handed promotion effect by the image display device 5, the right-handed display unit 30, and the right-handed display unit 55 ends. As a result, the player launches the game ball toward the first flow path passing through the left area of the game area by hitting the left again.

[Design of group notice production]
Next, the design of the group notice effect in the development stage of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Group notice work process)
FIG. 280 is a flowchart showing an example of the group notice work process. As shown in FIG. 280, the work process of the group notice consists of a summary document creation process (step S901), an animation production process (step S902), this video production process (step S903), and an authoring process in the order of the work. (Step S904), sound creation process (step S905), lottery incorporating process (step S906), video incorporating process (step S907), sound incorporating process (step S908), and lamp data. The production step (step S909) and the lamp incorporating step (step S910) are included.

In the process of creating the summary document in step S901, a summary document for newly designing the group notice is created in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

In the animation production process of step S902, the storyboard of the animation used in the group notice is created, the characters and backgrounds used in the animation are designed, the V-conte is created as a script for creating the animation, and the CG for the animation is created. Production and actual animation production are performed.

In the main video production process of step S903, the video data used in the group notice is created using the animation created in the animation production process. The video data used in the group notice is created in this video production process, but the reproduction time of the created video data is longer than the execution time of the group notice actually executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Created longer. As a result, even if the execution time of the group notice becomes long due to the design change, the video data created in this video production process can be used as it is without being changed. Further, in this video production process, the playback timing is also designed for each video data so that the video data is played back at a predetermined timing for each production. For example, in the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 22, the group notice animation is incorporated in this video so that the group notice of the stage A is executed from the 985th frame, and the group notice of the stage B is the 1385th frame. The animation of the group notice is incorporated in this video so that the group notice is executed from. Further, in the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 26, the group notice animation is incorporated in this video so that the group notice of the stage A is executed from the 1600th frame, and the group notice of the stage B is the 2000th frame. The animation of the group notice is incorporated in this video so that the group notice is executed from.

In the authoring step of step S904, software (program) for video reproduction executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 is created using the video data created in the video production step.

In the sound creation step of step S905, data of various sounds such as BGM (background sound) and sound effects used in the group notice are created in accordance with the video of the group notice.

In the process of incorporating the lottery in step S906, data about various lottery related to the group notice such as the group notice lottery is created. In the process of incorporating the lottery, the degree of expectation (reliability) of the group notice is designed. The created lottery data is incorporated into the pachinko game machine 1 as software for lottery executed in the pachinko game 1.

In the video embedding step of step S907, the video playback software created in the authoring step is incorporated into the pachinko gaming machine 1 as video playback software executed by the group notice.

In the sound incorporating step of step S908, the sound data created in the sound creating step is incorporated into the pachinko gaming machine 1 as software for sound reproduction executed by the group notice.

In the lamp data creation step of step S908, various lighting data such as lighting, blinking, and extinguishing in the lighting means (light emitting means) such as lamps and LEDs used in the group notice are created.

In the process of incorporating the lamp in step S910, various data such as lighting, blinking, and extinguishing of lamps and LEDs created in the lamp data creation process are used as software for lamp reproduction executed in pachinko game 1. It is incorporated in the game machine 1.

Through the work in each of these steps, lottery, video, sound data, and the like related to the group notice effect are created and incorporated as software so as to be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

(This video production)
The present video production process of the group notice will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 281 to 284. FIGS. 281 to 284 are diagrams for explaining an example of this video production process.

As shown in FIG. 281, first, in STEP 1, a character image used in the group notice is prepared. For example, in the group notice, the main character Yumemu-chan is used, and four images g1 to g4 are prepared to show the mode in which Yumemu-chan runs. It should be noted that such a character image is created in the animation production process.

Next, in STEP2, using the moving image creation tool, a moving image in which the character steps on the four character images g1 to g4 is created. For example, when the video creation tool is started, the timeline screen 710 is displayed. In the timeline screen 710, one or a plurality of layers are arranged on the vertical axis, and the horizontal axis is the time axis. Each layer is arranged in numerical order such as layers 1, 2, 3 ... from the top, and the more the layers are arranged on the top (that is, the younger the number), the more the image is on the back side on the screen of the image display device 5. It is designed to be located. The number of layers and the width of the time axis can be set to the values desired by the user.

In STEP2, each character image g1 to g4 is arranged in a predetermined layer column. For example, in the example shown in (a), the character images g1 to g4 are arranged on the timeline corresponding to the layer 1 to form the moving image data A1 to A4. According to the moving image data A1 to A4, it is a stepping motion of a pattern consisting of character images g1 to g4.

If the set of the moving image data A1 to A4 for stepping created as described above is repeatedly arranged on the timeline, the moving image for the character to step on is repeated. For example, in the example shown in (b), the moving image data A1 to A4 are repeated for three cycles. Then, this stepping video data is output. In this way, the stepping motion is created for the other characters by the same work.

As shown in FIG. 282, in STEP3, a moving image in which the character progresses is created. First, the screen size of the image display device 5 is set to a predetermined size. For example, in the example shown in (a), the width of the X-axis along the horizontal direction on the screen is set to 800, and the width of the XY-axis along the vertical direction on the screen is set to 640. In both the X-axis and the Y-axis, the value corresponding to the center position is 0. Therefore, the screen size is −400 ≦ X ≦ 400 and −320 ≦ Y ≦ 320.

By using the setting screen 730 of the video creation tool, it is possible to set the width at which the video data moves. For example, in the example shown in (b), one cycle of the stepping moving image data A1 to A4 of the pattern consisting of the character images g1 to g4 is set to 500, and the character image linearly moves on the X axis in the range of −1000 ≦ X ≦ 500. Is set to.

As shown in FIG. 283, in STEP 4, a moving image in which a plurality of characters progress is created. For example, in the example shown in (a), moving image data in which the character Jam-chan used for the group notice moves linearly on the X-axis in the range of −1000 ≦ X ≦ 500 is created by the same creation procedure.

As described above, when moving image data that linearly moves on the X axis in the range of −1000 ≦ X ≦ 500 is created for a plurality of characters, the moving image data of each character is placed on different layers as shown in (b). Deploy. Also, if the time axis is shifted between the characters, the timing of appearance can be shifted. Further, by shifting the position of the Y-axis between the characters, the position on the Y-axis in which the character appears can be shifted. The Z axis is an axis between the front side (front side) and the back side (depth side) of the screen, and by inputting a value, the front side (front side) and the back side (depth side) of the screen are input. It is possible to design the effect of the group notice (Boingo group notice of the present embodiment) so that the character moves between the side and the side.

As shown in FIG. 284, in STEP 5, a moving image of the group notice is finally created. For example, as shown in (a), by arranging the moving image data of six types of characters such as characters A to F on the timeline of the layer, the moving image of the group notice is completed.

In addition, if the length of the video data on the timeline is changed, the animation itself changes the speed at which the character moves while maintaining the video in which the video of the pattern consisting of the character images g1 to g4 is repeated for three cycles. Can be done. For example, the moving image data of the character C arranged on the layer 10 is the moving image data in which the moving image of the pattern consisting of the character images g1 to g4 is repeated for three cycles, like the moving image data of the character C arranged on the layer 9. , The length on the timeline in the moving image data of the character C arranged on the layer 10 is shorter than the length on the timeline in the moving image data of the character C arranged on the layer 9. As a result, the character C arranged on the layer 10 advances on the screen at a faster speed than the character C arranged on the layer 9 while maintaining the same animation as the character C arranged on the layer 9. ..

In the 6-person group notice, a plurality of characters are not arranged at the same timing and the same speed at the coordinates arranged on the screen. For example, also in the example shown in FIG. 284 (a), moving image data of a plurality of characters are not arranged on the timeline at the same timing and at the same length.

Further, as shown in (b), if the moving image data of sand smoke is arranged on the layer 1 located on the backmost side, the moving image of sand smoke can be combined with the moving image in which a plurality of characters progress.

As described above, it is possible to create video data of a group notice in which a plurality of characters progress. In the actual creation of the video data of the group notice, it is assumed that the game board 2 covers the edge of the screen of a predetermined size (for example, 19 inches), and the game board 2 covers the screen. The video data of the group notice is created with the area corresponding to the position covered with a mask. Further, the group notice moving image data is created up to the area corresponding to the large size so that the screen can be applied to a size larger than a predetermined size (for example, 19 inches) (for example, 20 inches).

(Group notice work process)
FIG. 285 is a diagram showing an overall picture of the 6-person group notice. As shown in FIG. 285, in the 6-person group notice included in the group notice effect, an image in which 6 characters such as maid A to maid F progress as a group is displayed. The group notice effect is not limited to the six characters, but the appearance of a plurality of each character makes it possible to display the largest number of characters among the effects that can be performed on the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since Maid A to Maid F all wear the same or substantially the same maid clothes, it is difficult to distinguish the type of character other than recognizing by face. In the present embodiment, the design of the apron worn by each character is different for each character, but it is difficult to recognize the difference at first glance. Maid A is Yume-chan, who is the main character, and Maid B is Jam-chan, who is the next highest priority character of Yume-chan, who is the main character.

In the 6-person group notice, the character image may fit in the display area of the image display device 5, or a part of the character image (for example, face or foot) does not fit in the display area of the image display device 5 and protrudes. In some cases. For example, of the characters appearing in the 6-person group notice, 6 maids A (Yumemu-chan) will appear, but 5 of them have visible faces. That is, the face of one of the six maids A appears does not fit in the display area of the image display device 5. Of the characters appearing in the 6-person group notice, 5 maids B (Jam-chan) will appear, but 4 of them have visible faces. That is, the face of one of the five maids B appears does not fit in the display area of the image display device 5. Of the characters appearing in the 6-person group notice, 5 maids C will appear, of which 3 maids C can see their faces. That is, the faces of two of the five maids appearing in the maid C do not fit in the display area of the image display device 5. Of the characters appearing in the 6-person group notice, 5 maids D will appear, of which 3 maids D can see their faces. That is, the faces of two of the five maids appearing in the maid D do not fit in the display area of the image display device 5. Of the characters appearing in the 6-person group notice, 5 maids E will appear, of which 3 maids E can see their faces. That is, the faces of two of the five maids appearing in the maid E do not fit in the display area of the image display device 5. Of the characters appearing in the 6-person group notice, 5 maids F will appear, of which 3 maids F can see their faces. That is, the faces of two of the five maids appearing in the maid F do not fit in the display area of the image display device 5.

In this way, the plurality of characters displayed in the group notice effect are the character in which the whole body is displayed in the display area of the screen and the character in which a part of the whole body (for example, the face) does not fit in the display area of the screen. This includes a character in which other parts of the whole body (for example, a part other than the face) are displayed within the display area of the screen.

In addition, the plurality of characters displayed in the group notice production are characters of low importance in the contents of the pachinko gaming machine 1 such as maids C to F, and maid A (Yumemu-chan) and maid B (jam-chan). Including characters that are more important than maids C to F in the contents of the pachinko gaming machine 1, maids A and B have a whole body that does not fit in the display area of the screen as compared to maids C to F. The proportion of parts other than the face that fit in the display area of the screen and are displayed is low. That is, the maid A and the maid B are designed to have a higher proportion of appearances while showing their faces than the maids C to F.

(Auxiliary display)
FIG. 286 is a diagram for explaining an auxiliary display used in the group notice effect. As shown in FIG. 286, in the group notice effect, an auxiliary display is performed to emphasize that the character is progressing. In the present embodiment, an image of sand smoke is displayed as an auxiliary display. Displaying an image of sand smoke near the character, more effectively following the progressing character, can make the player feel as if the character's progress is causing sand smoke, and so on. It is possible to emphasize the mode in which the character runs through. As shown in FIG. 284 (b) described above, the image of sand smoke, which is an auxiliary display, is arranged on the layer 1 located on the backmost side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 286, the image of sand smoke is located on the back side of any of the appearing characters.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 286, the layer on which the image of maid E is placed is on the front side of the layer on which the image of maid C is placed, so that the image of maid E is from the image of maid C. Is also displayed on the front side. On the other hand, the image of the auxiliary display corresponding to the maid E is located on the back side of both the image of the maid E and the image of the maid C.

In this way, when the display of the maid E and the display of the maid C overlap, the display of the maid E has priority over the display of the other maid C, while the auxiliary display corresponding to the maid E is used. When the display of the maid C overlaps with the display of the maid C, the display of the maid C has priority over the auxiliary display corresponding to the maid E.

(Motion blur processing)
FIG. 287 is a diagram for explaining the motion blur process used in the group notice effect. As shown in FIG. 287, in the group notice effect, motion blur processing is applied to the progressing character. Motion blur processing is a process for displaying an afterimage of an object (for example, a character). By performing motion blur processing on the display of a progressing character, an afterimage of the character is displayed after the progressing character. It will be displayed. This makes it possible to create a dynamic group notice effect. Further, when the image obtained by the motion blur processing for one character overlaps with the image obtained by the motion blur processing for another character, the motion blur processing for the one character is performed so as not to impair the visibility of the other character. The image is transparent.

(Aspect of contour when characters overlap)
FIG. 288 is a diagram for explaining an aspect of contours when characters overlap in a group notice effect. As shown in FIG. 288, in the group notice effect, one character may overtake another character. At that time, when the display of the character to be overtaken and the display of the other character overlap, the outline of the character to be overtaken is displayed thicker than the outline of the other character.

For example, in the example shown in (a), it is shown that the maid B located on the front side of the maid A overtakes the maid A, but in this case, the contour of the maid B is larger than the contour of the maid A. It is thicker and Maid B is highlighted more than Maid A. Further, it is shown that the maid A located on the front side of the maid F overtakes the maid F. In this case, the contour of the maid A is thicker than the contour of the maid F, and the maid A It is displayed with more emphasis than Maid F.

Further, in the example shown in (b), it is shown that the maid B located on the front side of the maid A overtakes the maid A, but in this case, the contour of the maid B is larger than the contour of the maid A. It is thicker and Maid B is highlighted more than Maid A. Further, it is shown that the maid A located on the front side of the maid D overtakes the maid D. In this case, the contour of the maid A is thicker than the contour of the maid D, and the maid A It is displayed with more emphasis than Maid D.

When one character overtakes another character, it is not limited to thickening the outline of one character, but the size of one character may be increased or the brightness of one character may be higher than the brightness of another character. It may be displayed with one character emphasized more than the other characters by increasing the height or making the contrast of one character clearer than the contrast of the other characters.

(Display on the screen of the image display device)
FIG. 289 is a view looking between the game board 2 and the image display device 5 during the execution of the group notice effect. As shown in FIGS. 286 to 288 described above, since the gaming board 2 covers the edge of the screen of the image display device 5, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front, the screen of the image display device 5 is displayed. Of the edges, the portion covered by the game board 2 is invisible. However, as shown in FIG. 289, when looking between the game board 2 and the image display device 5, the edge of the screen of the image display device 5 located on the back side of the game board 2 can be visually recognized.

Here, in FIG. 289, as shown in (a), the entire maid A (Yumemu-chan), who is the main character, is not yet displayed in the 6-person group notice, but a part of the maid A (this example). Then, from the first situation where a part of the face) is displayed, as shown in (b), the entire maid A displayed first is not yet displayed, while a part of the maid A is the first. The second, which is displayed more than the situation, and the whole of the second maid B (Jam-chan) is not displayed yet, while a part of the maid B (a part of the face in this example) is displayed. It has been shown that the situation will be. Further, the first displayed character (maid A) and the second displayed character (maid B) have different Y-axis position coordinates along the vertical direction on the screen.

Such a change from the first situation to the second situation occurs when the image display device 5 is visually recognized with the game board 2 covering the edge of the screen of the image display device 5, and when the game board 2 and the image display are displayed. This occurs regardless of whether the image display device 5 is visually recognized while looking through the device 5. That is, FIG. 289 is a case where the image display device 5 is visually recognized while looking between the game board 2 and the image display device 5. As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the game board 2 is an image display device. Even if the edge of the screen of 5 is covered, the whole maid A (Yumemu-chan) who is the main character is not yet displayed in the 6-person group notice, but a part of the maid A (this example). Then, from the first situation where a part of the face) is displayed, the whole of the first displayed maid A is not yet displayed, while a part of the maid A is displayed more than the first situation, and 2 The second situation is that while the entire maid B (Jam-chan) displayed second is not yet displayed, a part of the maid B (part of the face in this example) is displayed.

(Overview of Baku Chu Mondai Notice)
FIG. 290 is a diagram showing the whole picture of the Baku Chu Mondai notice. As shown in FIG. 290, in the Baku Chu group notice included in the group notice effect, an image in which characters such as Baku Chu progress as a group is displayed.

In the Baku Chu Mondai notice, the character image may fit in the display area of the image display device 5, or a part of the character image (for example, ears or feet) may not fit in the display area of the image display device 5 and may protrude. In some cases.

As described above, in the Baku Chu Mondai notice, the moving image data of the Baku Chu Mondai notice is created by arranging the image of the animation in which one kind of character moves on the screen. The moving image data in the Baku Chu Mondai notice is also created based on the work process shown in FIGS. 280 to 284 by the same method as the moving image data in the 6-person group notice.

(Volume change and brightness data table in group notice production)
FIG. 291 is a diagram for explaining a change in volume and a luminance data table in the group notice effect. As shown in FIG. 291, the group notice production (6 person group notice, Baku Chu notice, Boingo group notice) includes the first display period (1000 msec), the second display period (1310 msec), and the third display period (830 msec). It is divided into.

The first display period is a period from the first start of the character display in the group notice effect to the first end of the character display. More specifically, the first display period is a period from the first appearance of any character in the group notice effect to the first disappearance of any character. For example, if one character first appears in the group notice effect and the one character progresses at the top as it is, the period until the one character disappears is the first display period. Alternatively, if one character first appears in the group notice effect and the one character is overtaken by another character, the period until the other character disappears from the edge of the screen is the first display period. .. In the present embodiment, in the first display period, the display of the second displayed character ends before the display of the first displayed character ends. That is, in the first display period, the first character appears, the first character is overtaken by the second appearing character, and the second character disappears from the edge of the screen first.

The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which the state in which the display of the new character starts and ends continues. More specifically, in the second display period, after any character disappears first in the group notice effect, a state in which new characters appear one after another continues, and the last character appears. It is the period until it appears. The second display period is longer than each of the first display period and the third display period. Further, in the second display period, the number of characters appearing is larger than in each of the first display period and the third display period.

The third display period is a period in which the display of the character ends without starting the display of the new character. More specifically, the third display period is a period from the appearance of the last character in the group notice effect to the disappearance of all the characters. The character that disappears last is not limited to the character that appears last, and may be a character that is omitted by the character that appears last. The third display period is longer than the first display period.

Regarding the change in volume in the group notice effect, the speakers 8L and 8R start outputting the effect sound corresponding to the group advance notice effect at the timing related to the start of the first display period, and the effect sound of the effect sound is started in the first display period. The volume is raised to a specific volume, the volume of the effect sound is maintained at the specific volume in the second display period, and the volume of the effect sound is decreased in the third display period.

For example, as shown in FIG. 290, with respect to the effect sound corresponding to the group notice effect, the volume is the minimum (for example, mute or the lowest volume) at the beginning of the first display period, and then gradually increases gradually. It reaches the specified value and is maintained at the specified value (for example, set volume or maximum volume) thereafter. Even in the second display period, the volume remains at the specified value. After that, in the third display period, the volume is maintained at a specified value, and then gradually decreases to the minimum.

It should be noted that the stepwise increase in volume from the minimum to the specified value in the first display period is referred to as volume fade-in. Further, the process in which the volume gradually decreases from the specified value to the minimum in the third display period is referred to as volume fade-out. In the present embodiment, the fade-in time from the output of the effect sound in the first display period to the increase in the volume of the effect sound from the minimum to the specified value decreases the volume of the effect sound in the third display period. It is shorter than the fade-out time from the beginning to the minimum volume of the effect sound.

The luminance data table is composed of a plurality of luminance data for lighting each of the plurality of lighting means. The plurality of lighting means are frame lamp 9 (frame left lamp 9L, frame right lamp 9R), accessory lamp 9A, board left lamp 9B, board lamp 9C, attacker lamp 9E, V attacker lamp 9F, V lamp 9G, electric. Includes game effect lamps such as Chu Lamp 9H, Stick Controller Lamp 9J, and Trigger Button Lamp 9K. The luminance data table includes a first luminance data table corresponding to the first display period, a second luminance data table corresponding to the second display period, and a third luminance data table corresponding to the third display period. .. That is, in the first display period, the predetermined game effect lamp 9 is turned on, blinks, or turned off based on the brightness data included in the first brightness data table, and is included in the second brightness data table in the second display period. The predetermined game effect lamp 9 is turned on, blinked, or turned off based on the brightness data, and in the third display period, the predetermined game effect lamp 9 is turned on, blinked, or turned off based on the brightness data included in the third brightness data table. Or turn off.

(Timing of 6-person notice at stage A)
FIG. 292 is a diagram for explaining the occurrence timing of the 6-person group notice in stage A. As described above, in stage A, the 6-person group notice is executed from the 1600th frame during the previous fluctuation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 292, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of fluctuation number 9 which is lost in the first half of SP reach, the fluctuation time of the front fluctuation is 62000 msec (1861 frames) and the fluctuation time of the rear fluctuation is 37400 msec (1123 frames). The 6-person group notice starts from the 53280 msec (1600th frame) of the previous fluctuation. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the variation number 9 which is lost in the first half of the SP reach, the timing (1600th frame) in which the 6-person group notice is executed belongs to the latter half of the total variation time (2984 frames). That is, in the case of loss in the first half of SP reach, it is a case where it is suggested that it is a display result, and a predetermined period from the start of variable display to the suggestion that the variable display is a loss display result ( In the 2984 frame), the first display period of the 6-person group notice starts in the latter half (1600th frame) of the predetermined period.

In the case of the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation number 20 that hits in the first half of the SP reach, the fluctuation time of the front fluctuation is 62000 msec (1861 frames) and the fluctuation time of the rear fluctuation is 93300 msec (2801 frames). It starts from the 53280 msec (1600th frame) of the previous fluctuation. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the variation number 20 that is hit in the first half of the SP reach, the timing (1600th frame) in which the 6-person group notice is executed belongs to the first half of the total variation time (4662 frames). That is, in the case of a hit in the first half of the SP reach, it is a case where it is suggested that it is a display result, and a predetermined period from the start of the variable display to the suggestion that the variable display is a hit display result ( In 4662 frames), the first display period of the 6-person group notice starts in the first half (1600th frame) of the predetermined period.

[Brightness data]
With reference to FIGS. 294 to 318, the luminance data referred to when the effect control CPU 120 controls various lighting means in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. These luminance data tables are stored in the ROM 121. For example, the effect control CPU 120 moves the lighting (light emitting) portion of the game effect lamp according to the display in the group notice based on the luminance data stored in the luminance data table. In the present embodiment, the lit place literally means a lit place, and for example, among a plurality of lamps included in the frame lamp, the lit place is referred to as a lit place, and other lamps. The place where the lamp that is not lit (that is, the lamp that is off) is located is not called the lit place. In another example, the lighting location refers to a portion that is lit with high brightness, and for example, among a plurality of lamps included in the frame lamp, the portion where the lamp that is lit with high brightness is located is lit. The place where the lamp lit with a brightness lower than the brightness of the lamp located at the lit place is located may not be called the lit place.

More specifically, the data (also referred to as an element) for turning on or off the lamp is defined by the brightness data table, and in such a brightness data table, the data storage area referred to by a specific lamp is used. If 0 data (for example, "000" data corresponding to RGB) is stored, the specific lamp is turned off. Further, when the data storage area referred to by the specific lamp does not exist in the luminance data table, or the luminance data table itself does not exist, the specific lamp is turned off. On the other hand, there is a luminance data table referenced by a specific lamp, and one or more data (for example, "100", "010", "001" corresponding to RGB are stored in the data storage area referenced by the specific lamp. If is stored, the specific lamp is lit. For example, when a specific effect such as a big hit notice effect is executed at the time of an effect corresponding to a normal background, the specific lamp is referred to in the specific effect. Even if the data of a specific lamp is not specified in the brightness data table, if the data of a specific lamp is specified in the brightness data table referred to in the effect corresponding to the normal background, the specific lamp is lit. Will be done.

(Parent table in group notice brightness data table)
FIG. 294 is a diagram for explaining an example of the parent table in the group warning luminance data table. As shown in FIG. 294, in the parent table in the group notice brightness data table, the frame lamp (frame right lamp 9R, frame left lamp 9L), accessory lamp 9A, board left lamp 9B, board lamp 9C, and attacker lamp 9E. For each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9, each effect time of the group notice effect is defined.

For example, each lamp in the game effect lamp 9 is controlled over 3140 msec so as to match the group notice effect.

(Child table in group notice brightness data table)
FIG. 295 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table in the group warning luminance data table. As shown in FIG. 295, in the child table in the group advance notice brightness data table, the time of the group notice effect is subdivided for each lamp in the game effect lamp 9, and the grandchild table (brightness data table) referred to in each time zone is used. Also called) is specified.

For example, in the first display period (the period of the effect shown in FIGS. 327 to 328 and 383 to 385, which will be described later), among the periods in which the group notice effect is executed, the frame lamp is about W1 and the accessory lamp 9A is about. A grandchild table of Y1, L1 for the left lamp 9B, U1 for the onboard lamp 9C, and A1 for the attacker lamp 9E is provided. These grandchild tables used in the first display period correspond to the first luminance data table shown in FIG. 291.

In the second display period (the period of the effect shown in FIGS. 329, 330, 386, and 387 described later) of the period in which the group notice effect is executed, W2 is used for the frame lamp and Y2 is used for the accessory lamp 9A. A grandchild table of L2 for the left panel lamp 9B, U2 for the onboard lamp 9C, and A2 for the attacker lamp 9E is provided. These grandchild tables used in the second display period correspond to the second luminance data table shown in FIG. 291.

In the third display period (the period of the effect shown in FIGS. 331, 332, 388, and 389, which will be described later), the frame lamp is W3, and the accessory lamp 9A is Y3. A grandchild table of L3 for the left panel lamp 9B, U3 for the onboard lamp 9C, and A3 for the attacker lamp 9E is provided. These grandchild tables used in the third display period correspond to the third luminance data table shown in FIG. 291.

As shown in FIG. 295, regarding the brightness data table referred to in the group notice effect, the frame left lamp 9L, the frame right lamp 9R, and the combination in any of the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period. Six types of brightness data tables are provided: an object lamp 9A, a board left lamp 9B, a board lamp 9C, and an attacker lamp.

The V lamp 9G is located at a position related to the direction in which the character advances in the group notice effect (for example, near the appearance of the character in the group notice effect), but since it is not used in the group notice effect, its grandchild table Is not prepared. Since the V lamp 9G is a lamp that notifies that a round of a jackpot game state in which a V prize can be generated is in progress or that a V prize has occurred, or a lamp that notifies that a jackpot has occurred, in the group notice production. If it lights up, it will be misunderstood that the player is winning a V or winning a big hit, and in order to avoid such inconvenience, the V lamp 9G is used in the group notice production. Not. The V lamp 9G may be provided at another position such as the vicinity of the left lamp 9B on the board as a position related to the direction in which the character advances in the group notice effect, but even in this case, the group notice effect is also provided. It may not be used in.

Further, the stick controller lamp 9J provided on the stick controller 31A and the trigger button lamp 9K provided on the push button 31B are located at positions related to the direction in which the character advances in the group advance notice effect (for example, the character advances in the group advance notice effect). However, since it is not used in the group notice production, its grandchildren's table is not prepared. The stick controller lamp 9J is lit to encourage an operation of pulling the stick controller 31A in an operation effect (effect shown in FIG. 364 (c91) described later), and the trigger button lamp 9K is a PUSH effect (FIG. 325 described later). Since the lamp is lit to encourage the operation of pressing the push button 31B in the effect shown in a19), the player can operate the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B if the lamp is lit in the group notice effect. This is because the stick controller lamp 9J and the trigger button lamp 9K are not used in the group notice production in order to avoid such inconvenience. The stick controller lamp 9J and the trigger button lamp 9K may be provided at other positions such as near the left panel lamp 9B as positions related to the direction in which the character advances in the group notice effect. However, it may not be used in the group notice production.

The features of the grandchild tables W1 to W3 used for the grandchild table in the group notice production are summarized below. Specifically, the number of high-luminance lighting points is larger in W2 than in W1. Regarding the switching interval, W1 controls lighting at equal intervals at 100 msec, while W2 controls lighting at non-equal intervals at 50 to 80 msec, which is shorter than W1, and for W3, 10 msec with respect to the frame left lamp 9L. While lighting control is performed at short intervals, lighting control is performed at long intervals of 80 msec for the frame right lamp 9R.

Regarding the lighting pattern, the brightness data is specified so that W1 is lit with high brightness while moving the lighting location according to the traveling direction of the group notice, while W2 is lit with high brightness over a plurality of locations. Luminance data is specified so that the frame left lamp 9L and the frame right lamp 9R are turned off or turned on at low brightness according to the traveling direction of the group notice for W3. There is. Regarding the first luminance data, the luminance data is specified so that all the lamps are turned off or turned on at low luminance in W1, whereas the W2 and W3 are made to emit light at high luminance at the predetermined lighting points. Luminance data is specified. On the other hand, regarding the final luminance data, the luminance data is specified so that the W3 turns off all the lamps or turns on the lamps with low luminance for both the frame left lamp 9L and the frame right lamp 9R.

Regarding the luminance data loop, the luminance data is specified so that the same luminance data is repeatedly used in W1 and W3, whereas the luminance data is specified so that the same luminance data is repeatedly used in W2. W1 and W3 are specified for the 10-minute luminance data for defect countermeasures, whereas W2 is not specified.

(Grandchild table for frame lamp in group notice brightness data table)
FIG. 296 is a diagram for explaining an example of a grandchild table for a frame lamp in the group warning luminance data table. Each lamp included in the frame lamp is an LED having a plurality of colors (in this example, three colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B)), and the data is "0" to "F". The brightness is represented by a hexadecimal number. “0” is data corresponding to turning off, and “1” to “F” are data corresponding to turning on. Of "1" to "F", "1" to "7" are data corresponding to low-luminance lighting, and "8" to "F" are data corresponding to high-luminance lighting, respectively. When extinguishing is included as a concept of low brightness, "0" is included in the data corresponding to low brightness.

As shown in FIG. 296 (a), in the grandchild table W1 used in the first display period, RGB data is defined for each lamp from T1-1 to T1-10 at equal intervals of 100 msec. Further, in the final time T1-11, data for 10 minutes (600,000 msec) for troubleshooting is specified. Further, in W1, the first luminance data, which is a combination of the data for turning off each lamp included in the frame lamp or turning on the lamp with low luminance and the data for turning on each lamp with high luminance, and the first luminance data for each hour. The combination of the data for turning off each lamp or turning on the lamp with low luminance and the data for turning on each lamp with high luminance is composed of the second luminance data different from the first luminance data. For example, if the collection of data of each lamp corresponding to T1-2 is the first luminance data, the collection of data of each lamp corresponding to T1-3 can be the second luminance data. Predetermined luminance data is also specified for each of the other hours.

In W1, in the first 100 msec (T1-1) of the first display period, "1" indicating low brightness is specified for "R" for all the lamps included in the frame lamp, and "G" and "G" and " "0" indicating that the light is turned off is specified in "B". As a result, as shown in FIGS. 326 (a22) and 383 (b43) described later, at the beginning of the first display period in the group notice effect, all the lamps included in the frame lamp are turned off or turned on at low brightness. It will be like. This makes it easier for the player to pay attention to the fact that the group notice effect will be executed from now on. In the present embodiment, in order to make the effect effective by lighting each lamp mainly in red, "1" indicating low brightness is defined in "R", and "G" and "B" are specified. "0" is specified to indicate that the lamp is off, but for example, when each lamp is mainly lit in green, "1" is specified to indicate low brightness in "G", and "R" and "B" are specified. It suffices if "0" indicating extinguishing is specified in, and when each lamp lights mainly in blue, "1" indicating low brightness is specified in "B" and extinguished in "R" and "G". It suffices if "0" indicating is specified.

Further, in W1, as indicated by the dotted arrow, the lamps that are lit with high brightness from the vicinity of the frame right lamps 9R5 to 9R8 to the frame left lamp are at equal intervals of 100 msec from T1-2 to T1-10. Luminance data is specified to move with. Here, the vicinity of the frame right lamps 9R5 to 9R8 corresponds to the part where the character appears in the group notice, and the brightness data is displayed so that the part of the lamp that lights up with high brightness moves according to the direction in which the character advances. It is stipulated. The left frame lamp is initially turned off or turned on at low brightness, and gradually increases as the location of the lamp that lights at high brightness moves according to the direction in which the character travels. Luminance data is specified so that the lamp lights up with luminance. On the other hand, the frame right lamps 9R5 to 9R8, which were initially lit with high brightness, are turned off or lit with low brightness as the portion of the lamp that is lit with high brightness moves according to the direction in which the character travels. Luminance data is specified in. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 326 to 328 and 383 to 385, which will be described later, the frame lamp is also from the right side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in accordance with the effect that the character appears from the right end of the screen and progresses in the group notice. The position where it lights up with high brightness changes toward the left side.

Further, in W1, the data including data for turning on one frame lamp with high brightness and turning off another frame lamp adjacent to the one frame lamp is included, and the brightness is such that the portion of the lamp that is turned on in stages moves. The data is specified. As a result, in W1, the location of the lamp that lights up with high brightness can be moved according to the direction in which the character travels.

Further, in W1, the luminance data for defect countermeasures is defined in the last 10 minutes (600,000 ms) (T1-11) of the first display period. In this 10 minutes, the frame lamps are sparsely high in brightness according to the grandchild table W2 used in the second display period so that there is no discomfort in the lighting mode of the frame lamps when the next second display period is entered. Luminance data is specified so that it lights up with.

Here, if the data for this 10 minutes is not provided, the lamp lighting control is performed again from T1-1 when the lighting control is performed using W1 and the lamp does not shift to W2 due to some abnormality. Even though the character of the group notice has already appeared and is progressing, as shown by the dotted arrow, it is high again from the vicinity of the frame right lamp 9R5-9R8 from T1-2 to T1-10. The part of the lamp that lights up with brightness will move, giving the player a sense of discomfort. However, in the present embodiment, since the data for 10 minutes is provided in T1-11, even if the lighting control is performed using W1 and the lighting is not transferred to W2 due to some abnormality, the data is set in 10 minutes. Since the frame lamp can be turned on in a light emitting mode suitable for the grandchild table W2, it is possible to prevent a feeling of strangeness. Then, if the abnormality is resolved in these 10 minutes, the player can continue the game without any particular discomfort.

In W1, since the luminance data for the trouble countermeasure for 10 minutes as described above is defined, the lighting control is not performed by repeatedly using the luminance data from T1-1 to T1-10. ..

In addition, the luminance data for 10 minutes specified in W1 for troubleshooting is the luminance data in which adjacent frame lamps are regularly lit in order so that the lighting location deviates from the state of the previous T1-10. be.

As shown in FIG. 296 (b), in the grandchild table W2 used in the second display period, RGB data is transmitted to each lamp from T2-1 to T2-10 at non-equal intervals at 50 to 80 msec. It is stipulated. Further, in W2, the first luminance data, which is a combination of the data for turning off each lamp included in the frame lamp or turning on the lamp with low luminance and the data for turning on each lamp with high luminance, and the first luminance data for each hour. The combination of the data for turning off each lamp or turning on the lamp with low luminance and the data for turning on each lamp with high luminance is composed of the second luminance data different from the first luminance data. For example, if the collection of data of each lamp corresponding to T2-2 is the first luminance data, the collection of data of each lamp corresponding to T2-3 can be the second luminance data. Predetermined luminance data is also specified for each of the other hours.

In W2, one frame lamp is lit with high brightness, and other frame lamps adjacent to the one frame lamp are also lit with high brightness. The lamp contains brightness data and is sparsely (randomly) lit with high brightness. Luminance data is specified so that For example, in W2, high-luminance data (for example, “A”) is sparsely defined so as to be lit with high brightness over a plurality of locations. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 329, 330, 386, and 387, which will be described later, in the second display period in the group notice effect, the frame lamp is set according to the state in which the characters progress in a group in the group notice effect. Will be sparsely lit with high brightness. Further, W2 is designed to light more frame lamps with higher brightness than W1.

Since the W2 is not provided with the luminance data for troubleshooting as in the W1, the lighting control is performed by repeatedly using the luminance data from T2-1 to T2-10. Here, even if the lighting control of the lamp is performed again from T2-1 when the lighting control is performed using W2 and the lamp does not shift to W3 due to some abnormality, the frame lamp is sparsely high. Since the mode of lighting with brightness is merely repeated, the player does not feel any discomfort.

Further, unlike W2, it is possible to provide all of the data referred to for each time over the entire time without repeating the luminance data from T2-1 to T2-10, but the time for creating each data. Also, it takes time to confirm that the created data is correct, which is very inefficient. On the other hand, as in W2 of the present embodiment, by repeatedly using the luminance data over T2-1 to T2-10 to perform lighting control, only one set of data that is repeatedly referred to can be created. The time efficiency can be improved. The reason why the lighting control is performed by repeatedly using one set of data in the second display period in the group notice effect is that the second display period in the group notice effect is larger than the first display period and the third display period. Since the second display period is long and the second display period is a time zone in which the screen is filled with a plurality of characters and the plurality of characters proceed as a group, the lighting corresponding to such an effect is lit. This is because it is sufficient to repeat the same lighting as the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 296 (c), in the grandchild table W3 used in the third display period, RGB data is transmitted to the frame left lamp and the frame right lamp from T3-1 to T3-6 at intervals of 80 msec. It is stipulated. After that, RGB data is specified over T3-7 to T3-38 at short intervals of 10 msec for the frame left lamp, and continues over T3-7 to T3-38 at long intervals of 80 msec for the frame right lamp. RGB data is specified.

Further, in W3, as indicated by the dotted arrow, the lamps that were lit with high brightness from the vicinity of the frame right lamps 9R5 to 9R8 from T3-2 to T3-30 are gradually turned off or lowered gradually. Increase the number of lamps that are turned off or turned on at low brightness so that they turn on at brightness. Further, for T3-7 to T3-38, in the case of the frame right lamps 9R2 to 9R12, the luminance data is specified at intervals of 80 msec, whereas the frame left lamp 9L5 located in the direction in which the character advances in the group notice. For ~ 9L12, the luminance data is specified so that the luminance is turned off or the luminance is changed from high luminance to low luminance at short intervals of 10 msec. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 331, 332, 388, and 389, which will be described later, the frame lamp also changes from the right side to the left side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in accordance with the effect that the character disappears to the left edge of the screen in the group notice. The position where the light is turned off or the position where the light is turned on at low brightness is changed.

Further, in W3, the luminance data is defined so that all the lamps included in the frame lamp are turned off or turned on at low luminance at the time of transition to T3-30. Further, in W3, similarly to W1, the luminance data for defect countermeasures is defined in the last 10 minutes (600,000 ms) (T3-39) of the third display period. In this 10 minutes, the brightness data is defined so that the frame lamp is turned off or turned on at low brightness so that there is no discomfort in the lighting mode of the frame lamp when the next production is performed.

In W3, since the luminance data for the trouble countermeasure for 10 minutes as described above is defined, the lighting control is not performed by repeatedly using the luminance data over T3-1 to T3-38. ..

(Grandchild table for accessory lamps in group notice brightness data table)
FIG. 297 is a diagram for explaining an example of a grandchild table for accessory lamps in the group warning luminance data table. As described above, the accessory lamp 9A is composed of a plurality of lamps such as the accessory lamps 9A1 to 9A4, and in the luminance data table shown in FIG. 297, the accessory lamps 9A1 to 9A4 are sequentially "corresponded to".

As shown in FIG. 321 (a8), the reach line effect starts. At this time, a flash of light appears from the central portion of the screen of the image display device 5. During the reach line effect, each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 is turned on in a manner corresponding to the reach line effect based on the luminance data tables shown in FIGS. 301 to 307. In the state shown in FIG. 321 (a8), all the lamps included in the frame lamp are lit with high brightness. During the reach line effect, the effect sound corresponding to the reach line effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

As shown in FIG. 321 (a9), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen starts to rotate in the left-right direction, and the flash of light becomes large.

As shown in FIG. 322 (a10), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen continues to rotate in the left-right direction, the flash of light becomes larger, and the reach line appears in the center of the screen. The reach line is a streak (light ray) of light connecting between the left and right decorative patterns constituting the reach mode, and is given a predetermined color such as blue or red. By displaying the reach line, it is possible to suggest to the player that the variable display mode has become the reach mode or the reach mode.

As shown in FIG. 322 (a11), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen continues to rotate in the left-right direction, the flash of light increases, and the reach line in the center of the screen begins to extend in the left-right direction (outside) of the screen. As shown in FIG. 322 (a12), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen returns to the original position, and the reach line in the center of the screen further extends in the left-right direction (outside) of the screen. As shown in FIG. 322, during the reach line effect, the frame left lamps 9L6, 9L7, 9R6, 9R7 located on the left and right sides of the screen are lit with high brightness.

As shown in FIG. 323 (a13), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen is gradually enlarged, and the reach line in the center of the screen extends in the left-right direction (outside) of the screen. As shown in FIG. 323 (a14), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen is further enlarged, and the reach line in the center of the screen is further extended in the left-right direction (outside) of the screen. As shown in FIG. 323 (a15), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen is further enlarged, and the reach line in the center of the screen is further extended in the left-right direction (outside) of the screen. As shown in FIG. 323, during the reach line, the frame left lamps 9L6, 9L7, 9R6, 9R7 located on the left and right sides of the screen are lit with high brightness.

As shown in FIG. 324 (a16), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen is gradually reduced in stages, and the reach line in the center of the screen begins to shrink in the left-right direction (inside) of the screen. As shown in FIG. 324 (b17), the decorative pattern in the center of the screen is further reduced, and the reach line in the center of the screen is further reduced in the left-right direction (inside) of the screen and stops at a fixed position. At this time, the frame left lamps 9L6, 9L7, 9R6, 9R7 located on the left and right sides of the screen are lit with high brightness. After that, as shown in FIG. 324 (a18), the reach line in the center of the screen disappears. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 is also turned off.

As shown in FIG. 324 (a18), after the reach line effect is completed, the effect shifts to the effect shown in FIG. 325 (a19) when the 6-person group notice is executed, and FIG. 334 when the background notice is executed. The effect shifts to the effect shown in FIG. 335 (a111) when the lamp advance notice is executed.

As mentioned above, the 6-person group notice is a production that suggests that the display result of the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined jackpot symbol, and 6 characters dressed as maids are grouped. It is a production that progresses as a maid. The background notice is an effect that suggests that the display result of the variable display of the special figure or the decorative figure becomes a predetermined jackpot pattern, and a specific character (for example, a character such as a protagonist, a rare character, etc.) is specified. This is an effect that is displayed together with the background (for example, the background of the starry sky). The lamp notice is an effect that suggests that the display result of the variable display of the special drawing or the decorative drawing becomes a predetermined jackpot symbol, and is a predetermined lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 (for example, the accessory lamp 9A). Is a production that lights up and blinks. In the lamp notice, any one of the lamps included in the game effect lamp 9, or a plurality of lamps may be turned on or blinking, or a lamp provided other than the game effect lamp 9 may be turned on or blinked. It may blink.

In stage A, a group notice (for example, a 6-person group notice or a boingo group notice) is executed after the reach line effect of the previous fluctuation. For example, when the 6-person group notice is executed after the reach line effect, the PUSH effect is executed as shown in FIG. 325 (a19). When the PUSH effect is executed, an image showing the push button 31B and a meter image showing the time limit during which the pressing operation can be performed are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, and a character image of "PUSH !!" is displayed. Will be done. Further, during the PUSH effect, each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 is turned on in a manner corresponding to the PUSH effect based on the luminance data table shown in FIG. 316. For example, during the PUSH effect, the stick controller lamp 9J and the trigger button lamp 9K are lit or blinking. During the PUSH effect, a sound effect may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R to urge the player to press the push button 31B. As described above, in the PUSH effect, the player is urged to press the push button 31B by displaying an image, lighting or blinking a lamp, or by sound.

An effect occurs that erases the character image of "!". Further, when the push button 31B is pressed, the PUSH sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R in a manner corresponding to the button pressing. By outputting the PUSH sound, the player can recognize that the push button 31B could be effectively pressed during the PUSH effect. The output of the PUSH sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is completed by the time the group notice effect (in this example, the 6-person group notice) starts. Further, when the push button 31B is pressed, the game effect lamp 9 lights up or blinks in a manner corresponding to the button pressing. In this example, all the frame lamps are lit with high brightness.

As shown in FIG. 325 (a21), the display on the screen of the image display device 5 once returns to the display of the normal background image, and the game effect lamp 9 lights up or blinks in a manner corresponding to the background.

As shown in FIG. 326 (a22), the notice of the 6-person group starts, but the game effect lamp 9 is temporarily turned off before the character appears. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the fact that the group notice effect will be executed from now on.

As shown in FIG. 326 (a23), the main character, Maid A (Yumemu-chan), appears as the first (first) character in the first display period. The state shown in FIG. 326 (a23) corresponds to the state shown in FIG. 289 (a), and while the entire maid A (Yumemu-chan), who is the main character, has not yet been displayed, the maid A has not been displayed yet. It represents the first situation in which a part (a part of the face in this example) is displayed.

During the execution of the 6-person group notice, each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 is turned on in a manner corresponding to the group notice effect based on the luminance data tables shown in FIGS. 294 to 300. For example, in the first display period shown in FIGS. 326 to 328, the frame right lamps 9R5 to 9R8 located near the place where the character appears in the group notice starts to light with high brightness, and then in the direction in which the character advances. At the same time, the part of the lamp that lights up with high brightness moves. In addition, the meeting where the group notice production (6 people group notice, Baku Chu notice, Boingo notice described later) was executed, images other than the image related to the group notice production (for example, the background image and the image related to the SP reach first half notice production etc. ), The brightness is reduced. The brightness of the other images lowered during the group notice production gradually returns to the original brightness in the third display period. On the other hand, for the player, the fourth symbol 5J and the small symbol 5M indicating the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number, the first reserved storage display area 5D, the second reserved storage display area 5U, the active display area 5A, and the like. The display of information on games that are of high importance regarding the outcome and advantage of the game is given a high priority so that the brightness is not lowered even if the group notice effect is executed.

During the group notice effect, the effect sound corresponding to the group advance notice effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. As for the volume of the effect sound corresponding to the group notice effect, as shown in FIG. 291, the output of the effect sound corresponding to the group notice effect is started at the timing related to the start of the first display period, and the first is said. The volume of the effect sound is raised to a specific volume in the display period, the volume of the effect sound is maintained at the specific volume in the second display period, and the volume of the effect sound is decreased in the third display period. When the group notice effect starts, a start sound suggesting the start of the group notice effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R in addition to the effect sound corresponding to the group notice effect, but the second character appears. By then, the output of the start sound will stop.

As shown in FIG. 326 (a24), a second character appears shortly after the first character appears. The state shown in FIG. 326 (a24) corresponds to the state shown in FIG. 289 (b), and while the entire maid A initially displayed has not yet been displayed, a part of the maid A is partially displayed. While the entire maid B (Jam-chan) that was displayed more than the first situation and was displayed second was not yet displayed, a part of the maid B (a part of the face in this example) was displayed. It represents the second situation.

As shown in FIG. 327 (a25), characters appear one after another, and an animation of running through from the left side to the right side of the screen is displayed. As shown in FIG. 327 (a26), an animation is displayed in which the second appearing character skips the first appearing character. As shown in FIG. 327 (a27), characters appear one after another, and an animation of running through from the left side to the right side of the screen is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 328 (a28), the character continues to advance, and eventually the second appearing character running at the top (top) reaches the left edge of the screen. As shown in FIG. 328 (a29), the second appearing character running at the top (top) begins to disappear from the left edge of the screen. As shown in FIG. 328 (a30), the second appearing character running at the top disappears first from the left edge of the screen. This ends the first display period.

As shown in FIG. 329 (a31), in the second display period, characters appear one after another, and an animation of running through from the left side to the right side of the screen is displayed. In the second display period shown in FIGS. 329 and 330, the frame lamps are sparsely turned on with high brightness in accordance with the appearance of the characters traveling in a group in the group notice effect. As a result, the frame lamp lights up or blinks according to the animation display in which the characters form a group and run through. Further, the effect sound corresponding to the group notice output from the speakers 8L and 8R includes, for example, footsteps in accordance with the animation display in which the character runs through. After that, as shown in FIGS. 329 (a32) to 330 (a36), characters appear one after another, and an animation of running through from the left side to the right side of the screen is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 331 (a37), in the third display period, the last character appears, and an animation of running from the left side to the right side of the screen is displayed together with other characters. No new character will appear in the third display period. In the third display period, as shown in FIGS. 331 and 332, the frame lamp is also turned off or low from the right side to the left side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in accordance with the effect that the character disappears to the left edge of the screen in the group notice. The position where the light is turned on by the brightness will be changed. As shown in FIG. 331 (a37), when the third display period is entered, all of the game effect lamps 9 are once turned on with high brightness.

As shown in FIG. 331 (a38), the frame lamp starts to go out as the character disappears to the left edge of the screen. In the example shown in FIG. 331 (a38), since the character is not displayed in the right half area of the screen, a part of the frame right lamp 9R is turned off. As shown in FIG. 331 (a39), the number of frame right lamps 9R that are turned off increases as the character disappears toward the left edge of the screen.

As shown in FIGS. 332 (a40) and (a41), the number of game effect lamps 9 to be turned off increases as the character gradually disappears. As shown in FIG. 332 (a42), the group notice effect ends when the last character disappears.

Here, with reference to FIG. 333, a comparative example of the 6-person group notice and the 6-person group notice according to the present embodiment are compared. In the comparative example shown in FIG. 333 (a201), as in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 326 (a23), the entire maid A (Yumemu-chan), who is the main character, is not yet displayed, but the maid A is the same. This is the first situation in which a part of (a part of the face in this example) is displayed.

After that, in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 326 (a24), the entire maid A initially displayed is not yet displayed, while a part of the maid A is displayed more than in the first situation, and 2 While the entire maid B (Jam-chan) displayed second is not yet displayed, a part of the maid B (part of the face in this example) is displayed in the second situation. In the comparative example shown in FIG. 333 (a202), the maid A continues to run without the appearance of the second maid B, and the entire maid A is displayed. Then, in the comparative example shown in FIG. 333 (a203), the second maid B finally appears after the first maid A runs through the left side of the center of the screen. In such a comparative example, only one character appears, and it does not look like a group notice effect.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 326 to 332, an animation in which a plurality of characters appear one after another without a gap and run through is displayed, so that the plurality of characters proceed as a group. By doing so, it is possible to create a powerful production. Further, since the number of characters overtaking other characters is smaller than the number of other characters overtaken by the overtaking character, it is possible to prevent the group advance notice effect from becoming too complicated. The number of characters overtaking other characters may be larger than the number of other characters overtaken by the overtaking character. In this case, it is possible to show the player a lively group notice effect.

When the background notice is executed after the reach line effect, the PUSH effect is executed as shown in FIG. 334 (a101). When the PUSH effect is executed, an image showing the push button 31B and a meter image showing the time limit during which the pressing operation can be performed are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, and a character image of "PUSH !!" is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 393 (d10) to (d12), the last character appears and progresses from the depth side to the front side of the screen.

After that, as shown in FIGS. 394 (d13) and 394 (d14), as the last character advances from the depth side to the front side of the screen, it covers most of the screen. Then, as shown in FIG. 394 (d15), the last character is enlarged and displayed from one end to the other end of the screen over a range, and the entire screen is covered by the last character.

After that, as shown in FIGS. 395 (d16) and (d17), the original background image is displayed as the last character disappears from the screen, and as shown in 153 (d18), when the last character disappears. The group notice production ends.

FIG. 396 is a diagram for explaining the details of the Boingo group notice. FIGS. 396 (A) to 396 (F) correspond to FIGS. 390 (d3) to 391 (d6), 392 (d8), and (d9), respectively.

As shown in FIG. 396 (A), the first character appears from the group appearance point, and as shown in FIGS. 396 (B) to (F), characters appear one after another from the group appearance point. Here, as the first displayed character (first character) is enlarged and displayed, the specific position where the character appears becomes difficult or invisible to be visually recognized by the first character. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 396 (E) and 396 (F), even if the succeeding character image is placed at the position hidden by the first character, it cannot be visually recognized, so that the succeeding character image must be placed. May be good.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 397 and 398, a comparative example of the Boingo group notice and the Boingo group notice according to the present embodiment are compared. In the comparative example shown in FIG. 397, the character (boingo) appears at a specific position (group appearance point) on the screen, but the previous image due to the light effect as shown in FIG. 390 (d2) is not displayed. Therefore, in order to eliminate the discomfort that the character suddenly appears large, it is necessary to create an animation so that the character is displayed small and gradually enlarged as shown in FIGS. 397 and 398. ..

Therefore, in the comparative example, the animation display as shown in FIGS. 397 (d101) to 398 (d105) is displayed until the character can be displayed in the size shown in FIG. 390 (d3) as shown in FIG. 398 (d106). You have to go through it, which takes extra time to produce, and you have to create an image for animation. On the other hand, in the case of the picture form of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 390 (d2) and (d3), the pre-stage image by the light effect is displayed as the pre-stage effect before the character appears. By displaying the first character from a specific position that is difficult to see due to the display of the previous image by the effect, the character can be displayed from the beginning with a certain size (the size shown in FIG. 390 (d3) and FIG. 398 (d106)). It can be displayed.

(Modified example of Boingo group notice)
FIG. 399 is a diagram for explaining an effect mode when the Boingo group notice according to the modified example is executed. The example shown in FIG. 399 may be replaced with the example shown in FIG. 395. For example, as shown in FIGS. 399 (d101) to (d103), the title image of the first half of the SP may be displayed as the last displayed character disappears. That is, as shown in FIG. 390 (d1), while the entire screen is covered by the character image in the group preview in the layer on the front side of the layer on which the normal background image is displayed, it is shown in FIG. 399 (d103). As such, the normal background image may be switched to the title image in the first half of the SP. In this way, the group notice effect may be executed during the execution of the advance notice effect such as the SP first half title advance notice effect.

Further, the title image of the first half of the SP in the Boingo group notice may give a notice of a big hit by changing the display mode as shown in FIG. 389. Further, instead of covering the entire screen by enlarging the last character, the background image used for the group notice effect may be switched to the next effect by an animation wound like a scroll.

(Dog herd notice)
A mode of producing the dog herd notice will be described with reference to FIGS. 400 to 402.

In the present embodiment, the 6-person group notice, the bomb chew notice, and the boingo group notice are exemplified as the group notice effect, but the pachinko gaming machine 1 is referred to as a dog group notice as shown in FIGS. 400 to 402. It may be the one that executes the group notice effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 400 (e1), the first character is displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 400 (e2), a plurality of dog characters appear one after another, and FIG. 400 (e3). The screen area may be covered with a group of characters as shown in.

After that, as shown in FIGS. 401 (e4) to (e6), the title image of the first half of the SP is displayed as the last displayed character disappears. That is, as shown in FIG. 400 (e3), while the entire screen is covered by the character image in the group notice effect in the layer on the front side of the layer on which the normal background image is displayed, it is shown in FIG. 401 (e6). As such, the normal background image is switched to the title image in the first half of the SP. Then, on the screen after the plurality of characters located at the end have passed, the title image of the first half of the SP corresponding to the subsequent production of the first half of the SP reach is displayed.

Further, the title image of the first half of the SP in the dog group notice may give a notice of a big hit by changing the display mode as shown in FIG. 389.

As shown in FIG. 402, when the 6-person notice and the dog group notice are compared, the distance between the character displayed first and the character displayed last in the dog group notice (the length between them on the X-axis). S) X2 is shorter than the distance (length between the two on the X-axis) X1 between the character displayed first and the character displayed last in the 6-person group notice. Further, since the execution time is the same or substantially the same for both, the speed V2 at which the character advances in the dog group notice is slower than the speed V1 at which the character advances in the six-person group notice. Further, the density D2 of the plurality of characters in the dog group notice is larger than the density D1 of the plurality of characters in the six-person group notice. In addition, the dog group notice production has a higher expectation (reliability) of a big hit than the 6-person group notice production, and the dog group notice production has a lower appearance rate (execution probability) than the 6-person group notice production.

(Execution of group notice production during reach line production)
With reference to FIGS. 403 and 404, an effect mode when the group notice effect is executed during the reach line will be described.

As shown in FIG. 403 (f1), in the state where the reach line effect is executed, the group notice effect is executed as shown in FIGS. 403 (f2) to (f4), and then FIGS. 404 (f5) and (f6). ) May be executed.

[Main configurations and effects]
The technical effects obtained by various configurations of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are individually listed below.

(1-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. People group notice production) and
A process of executing a blessing effect executing means (for example, a fanfare effect by the effect control CPU 120) for executing a blessing effect (for example, a fanfare effect) for displaying an image congratulating that the display result of the variable display is the specific display result. ) And, with
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
The blessing effect can be executed after the group effect (for example, the fanfare effect shown in FIGS. 347 to 349 is executed after the 6-person group notice effect shown in FIGS. 326 to 332 is executed).
When it is suggested that the display result of the variable display is a lost display result different from the specific display result (for example, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the variation number 9), the variable display is started after the variable display is started. In the first predetermined period (for example, the period of T1 + T2 shown in FIG. 292) until it is suggested that the display is the result of the loss display, the first display period starts in the latter half of the first predetermined period. (For example, the example shown in FIGS. 292 and 293).
When it is suggested that the display result of the variable display is the specific display result (for example, in the case of the variable pattern of the variable numbers 20, 23, 26), the variable display is displayed after the variable display is started. In the second predetermined period (for example, the period of T3 + T4, the period of T5 + T6, the period of T7 + T8) until it is suggested that the specific display result is obtained, the first half of the second predetermined period is the first display period. Starts (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 292 and 293).

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, the feeling of exhilaration may diminish with the passage of time until the result of the variable display is finalized, but in the case of a variable pattern in which the result of the variable display is a lost display result, it is in the latter half of the time of the variable display. By executing the group notice effect, it is possible to maintain the feeling of exhilaration and evoke it again. On the other hand, in the case of a variable pattern in which the result of the variable display is a hit display result, the fanfare effect, which is a blessing effect, is executed. After that, even if the feeling of exhilaration diminishes with the passage of time, the feeling of exhilaration can be maintained or evoked again by the blessing effect.

The "specific display result" is a display result that can be controlled to an advantageous state based on the display result of the variable display becoming the specific display result. That is, the specific display result is a display result for controlling the gaming state to an advantageous state even if it is derived. In the present embodiment, when the combination of the lighting modes in the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 of the special figure LED board 20 becomes the combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the big hit, the big hit occurs, and the lighting corresponding to the big hit occurs. The combination of embodiments is the specific display result. Further, when the combination of the lighting modes in the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 of the special figure LED board 20 becomes the combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the big hit, the big hit occurs, and the combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the big hit is specified. It will be the display result. Further, the decorative symbol variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5 is a specific special symbol (for example, a big hit such as "3,3,3" or "7,7,7". A big hit occurs when the game is stopped as a combination of symbols), and the display of the specific special symbol is the specific display result.

The "loss display result" is a display result different from the specific display result, and is a display result that is not controlled to an advantageous state based on the fact that the display result of the variable display is the loss display result. That is, the loss display result is a display result in which the gaming state is not controlled to the advantageous state even if it is derived. In the present embodiment, when the combination of the lighting modes in the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 of the special figure LED board 20 becomes the combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the loss, the result of the game becomes a loss, and the loss occurs. The combination of the corresponding lighting modes results in a loss display result. Further, when the combination of the lighting modes in the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 of the special figure LED board 20 becomes the combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the loss, the result of the game becomes a loss, and the lighting mode corresponding to the loss. The combination will be the result of the loss display. Further, the decorative symbol variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5 becomes a specific predetermined symbol (for example, a combination of lost symbols such as "3, 2, 3") and stops. Occasionally, the result of the game becomes a loss, and the display of the predetermined symbol becomes a loss display result.

The "advantageous state" is a state advantageous to the player, and is a gaming state in which the value-adding rate for games (for example, the payout rate of a game ball) is 1 or more or more than 1 by being controlled. In the present embodiment, as an advantageous state, a big hit gaming state controlled when each of the normal big hits 1 and 2 and the probability variation big hits 1 to 9 occurs is exemplified. The advantageous state may be a small hit gaming state controlled when a small hit occurs, or may be a probabilistic change state or a time saving state.

The "new display of the character" may be a character of the same type as the character initially displayed in the group notice effect, or may be a character of a different type from the character initially displayed in the group notice effect. good.

The "blessing effect" is an effect of displaying an image congratulating that the display result of the variable display has become a specific display result, and is controlled to an advantageous state based on the display result of the variable display having become a specific display result. It is also a production that displays an image that congratulates you. "Blessing" includes suggesting or notifying the player that the display result of the variable display has become a specific display result or is controlled to an advantageous state. In addition, "blessing" improves the player's expectation for the advantageous state by suggesting or notifying that the display result of the variable display has become a specific display result or is controlled to the advantageous state. Including letting you do it. For example, in the blessing effect, the combination of lighting modes in the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 of the special figure LED board 20 is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to a big hit, and the special figure 2 variable display unit of the special figure LED board 20. The combination of lighting modes in 22 is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to a big hit, or the decorative symbol variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5 is a specific special symbol ( It includes displaying an image that suggests or informs the player that the game has become a big hit symbol) or that the player is controlled to the big hit game state.

"The blessing effect can be executed after the group effect" means that the group notice effect is executed in the variable display based on the hold memory of 1, and then the blessing is performed in the variable display based on the hold memory of 1. Including that the production is performed. In addition, "the blessing effect can be executed after the group effect" indicates that the display result of the variable display based on the hold memory of 1 is the specific display result of the variable display based on the hold memory of 1. When the group notice effect is executed as a look-ahead effect that suggests or gives a notice before the display result is started, the group notice effect is executed, and then the variable display based on the hold memory of the 1 is started and the 1 Includes the execution of a blessing effect within a variable display based on the hold memory of.

The "first predetermined period" is a period from the start of the variable display to the suggestion that the display result of the variable display is a lost display result, and in the present embodiment, FIGS. 292 and 293. It is exemplified by the period of T1 + T2 shown in. "It is suggested that the display result of the variable display is a loss display result" means that the combination of lighting modes in the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 of the special figure LED board 20 is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to the loss. , The combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the big hit in the special drawing 2 variable display unit 22 of the special drawing LED board 20 is the combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the loss, and the decorative symbol display area of the image display device 5. This includes stopping the decorative symbol that is variably displayed in 5L, 5C, and 5R as a specific predetermined symbol (missing symbol combination). Further, when the movable body 32 does not operate at a specific timing when the display result of the variable display becomes a lost display result, while the movable body 32 operates at a specific timing when the display result of the variable display becomes a hit display result. , "It is suggested that the display result of the variable display is the loss display result" suggests to the player that the display result of the variable display becomes the loss display result because the movable body 32 does not operate at a specific timing. Including notifying. It should be noted that the specific timing is the timing at which the movable body 32 operates at the time of a big hit by performing an effect of urging the player to operate the operation means such as the above-mentioned PUSH effect, and by operating the operation means by the player. You may.

The "second predetermined period" is a period from the start of the variable display to the suggestion that the display result of the variable display is a specific display result, and in the present embodiment, FIGS. 292 and 293. It is exemplified by the period of T3 + T4, the period of T5 + T6, and the period of T7 + T8 shown in. "It is suggested that the display result of the variable display is a specific display result" means that the combination of lighting modes in the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 of the special figure LED board 20 is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to a big hit. , The combination of lighting modes in the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 of the special figure LED board 20 is a combination of lighting modes corresponding to a big hit, and variable display is performed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5. Includes that the decorative symbol that is being displayed becomes a specific special symbol (big hit symbol combination) and stops. Further, when the movable body 32 does not operate at a specific timing when the display result of the variable display becomes a lost display result, while the movable body 32 operates at a specific timing when the display result of the variable display becomes a hit display result. , "It is suggested that the display result of the variable display is the specific display result" suggests to the player that the display result of the variable display becomes the specific display result by the operation of the movable body 32 at the specific timing. Including notifying. It should be noted that the specific timing is the timing at which the movable body 32 operates at the time of a big hit by performing an effect of urging the player to operate the operation means such as the above-mentioned PUSH effect, and by operating the operation means by the player. You may.

(1-2) The second display period is a period longer than each of the first display period and the third display period, and the third display period is a longer period than the first display period. (For example, each display period shown in FIG. 291).

From this, the group notice effect can be made powerful by setting the second display period in which the characters appear one after another in the group notice effect to be the longest period. Furthermore, by setting the first display period from the first appearance of the character to the first departure of the character as the shortest period, it is possible to prevent the suddenly executed group notice effect from becoming full. Can be done.

(1-3) The character displayed first in the first display period is a character having a high priority in the content of the gaming machine (for example, Yume-chan, who is the main character).

As a result, the character that first appears in the group notice production is a character with a high priority like the main character, which is familiar to the player, but after that, a character that appears less frequently than the main character in other productions. By appearing in the group notice production, it is possible to surprise the player about the group notice production and make the player feel that it is a rare production, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

The "high-priority character" includes the main character appearing in the content used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the character having the highest priority among the characters other than the main character, and is executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 more than other characters. Includes characters that appear frequently (number of times) in the production to be performed.

(1-4) When it is suggested that the display result of the variable display is the specific display result (for example, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation numbers 20, 23, 26), the character is displayed in the group effect. Is first started at a timing close to half of the second predetermined period in the first half of the second predetermined period (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 292 and 293).

As a result, in the case of a variable pattern in which the result of the variable display is a hit display result, even if the group notice effect is executed in the first half of the variable display time, the group notice effect is executed in the vicinity of the latter half of the first half. So, the afterglow of the group notice production can be extended to the later side as much as possible.

(1-5) As for the pattern suggesting that the display result of the variable display is the specific display result (for example, the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation numbers 20, 23, 26), the display result of the variable display is the loss display result. After pretending to be, the variable display result includes a relief pattern (for example, the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation numbers 23 and 26) that becomes the specific display result.
Also in the relief pattern, in the second predetermined period from the start of the variable display to the suggestion that the variable display is the specific display result, the first half of the second predetermined period is the first. 1 The display period begins (eg, the example shown in FIGS. 292 and 293).

As a result, even in the case of a relief pattern in which the display result of the variable display is a hit display result after the display result of the variable display is pretended to be a lost display result, the fanfare effect which is a blessing effect is executed. , The group notice effect is executed in the first half of the variable display time to give an uplifting feeling, and even if the uplifting feeling diminishes with the passage of time, the blessing effect keeps the uplifting feeling or evokes it again. Can be done.

(1-6) A pattern suggesting that the display result of the variable display is the loss display result (for example, the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation numbers 9, 12, 15) and the display result of the variable display are the specific display results. With the pattern suggested to be (for example, the variation pattern of the main variation numbers 20, 23, 26), until it is suggested that the display result of the variable display is the loss display result or the specific display result. A common display is made (eg, the example shown in FIGS. 319-368).

As a result, for example, the variation pattern of variation number 9 and the variation pattern of variation number 20 are executed in common until the display result is finalized, and the variation pattern of variation number 12 and the variation pattern of variation number 23 are displayed. The common effect is executed until the display result is confirmed, and the common effect is executed until the display result is confirmed between the variation pattern of the variation number 15 and the variation pattern of the variation number 26. Therefore, the common effect is executed. It is possible to draw the player's attention to the fact that the group notice effect is executed while the player is in the middle of the game.

It should be noted that the pattern suggesting that the display result of the variable display is the loss display result (for example, the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation numbers 9, 12, 15) and the display result of the variable display are the specific display results. (For example, the fluctuation patterns of the main fluctuation numbers 20, 23, and 26) are different from each other until it is suggested that the display result of the variable display is the loss display result or the specific display result. May be done.

As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the fact that the group notice effect is executed while the effects different from each other are being executed.

(1-7) A notice effect for notifying that the execution period of the group effect and the display result of the variable display, which is different from the group notice, will be the specific display result (for example, the SP first half title notice effect). May overlap with the execution period of
The notice effect ends after the third display period ends,
The display in the group effect has a larger display area than the display in the advance notice effect (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 383 to 389).

As a result, even if the group notice effect is executed while the advance notice effect such as the SP first half title advance notice effect is being executed, the SP first half title advance notice effect can be shown to the player.

(1-8) While the advance notice effect is being executed, the group effect is executed (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 383 to 389).

As a result, when the advance notice effect such as the SP first half title advance notice effect is being executed, the player can pay attention to the execution of the group advance notice effect. It should be noted that the advance notice effect such as the SP first half title advance notice effect and the group advance notice effect do not start at the same time.

(1-9) When the group effect is executed, there is a higher probability that the display result of the variable display will be the specific display result than when the notice effect is executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 276). , The group notice is more reliable than the SP first half title notice).

As a result, other notice effects with a lower expectation of a big hit than the group notice effect are not displayed on the front layer, which has a higher priority than the group notice effect, so that the big hit is suitable for the player. Can be suggested. As described above, in the present embodiment, the production having a high expectation of a big hit is not covered with the production having a low expectation on the front side.

(1-12) During the execution of the group effect, the brightness is reduced in both the background display and the display in the advance notice effect, while the display of information related to the game (for example, the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory). The brightness does not decrease in the fourth symbol 5J and the small symbol 5M indicating the number, the first reserved storage display area 5D, the second reserved storage display area 5U, and the active display area 5A).

As a result, when the group notice effect is executed, the brightness of the image related to the background display and other notice effects (for example, the image related to the SP first half title notice effect having a lower expectation than the group notice effect) is lowered, while the game is played. It is important for the player as much as possible because the display of information about the game, which is highly important for the player regarding the victory or defeat of the game and the advantage, is given a high priority, and the brightness is not lowered even if the group notice effect is executed. Information can be shown.

(2-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. With crowd notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
In the first display period, a part of the first displayed character is displayed more than the first situation from the first situation in which a part of the first displayed character is displayed, and the second situation. In the second situation where a part of the displayed character is displayed (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 289 and 326).

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, since there is no situation in which only one person is displayed in the group notice production, it is possible to prevent the question of whether or not it is a group notice production and the misunderstanding that only one person will appear. can.

In the "first situation in which a part of the first displayed character is displayed", as shown in FIG. 289 (a), the entire character initially displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 is still present. While it is not displayed, a situation in which a part of the character is displayed at the edge of the screen of the image display device 5, or as shown in FIG. 326 (a), the frame 3 for a game machine displays an image. In the display area visible to the player when covered with the screen of the device 5, the entire character initially displayed is not yet displayed, while the character is at the edge of the display area visible to the player. Includes situations where part of is displayed. That is, the second situation includes a situation in which the first appearing character is completely invisible, but a part of the first appearing character is visible.

"The second situation in which a part of the first displayed character is displayed more than the first situation and a part of the second displayed character is displayed" is shown in FIG. 289 (b). As described above, on the screen of the image display device 5, the entire character initially displayed is not yet displayed, while a part of the character is displayed at the edge of the screen of the image display device 5 as compared with the first situation. And while the entire second displayed character has not yet been displayed, a part of the character is displayed at the edge of the screen of the image display device 5, or FIG. 326 (b). As shown in the above, in the display area visible to the player when the game machine frame 3 covers the screen of the image display device 5, the entire character initially displayed is not yet displayed. At the edge of the display area visible to the player, a part of the character is displayed more than in the first situation, and the entire character displayed second is not yet displayed, while the character is visible to the player. Includes a situation where a part of the character is displayed at the edge of the display area. That is, the second situation includes a situation in which a second character appears after the first appearing character before the first appearing character is completely visible.

(2-2) In the group effect, the first displayed character and the second displayed character have different Y-axis position coordinates along the vertical direction on the screen.

As a result, since the first character and the second character do not overlap on the Y axis, it is possible to prevent the misunderstanding that only one character appears.

(2-3) Motion blur processing is performed on the display of characters in the group effect (for example, the example shown in FIG. 287).

This has the effect of making each character appear to be a plurality of characters, so that it is possible to prevent the misunderstanding that only one character will appear.

(2-4) The sound suggesting the start of the group notice effect is output during the display of the character displayed first in the group effect, but by the time the display of the character displayed second is started. End (for example, the example shown in FIG. 326).

As a result, a sound suggesting the start of the group notice effect is output and the first character appears, so that the player can be notified that the group notice effect has been executed, while the second character By the end of the start sound by the time it appears, it is possible to suitably provide a group notice effect.

The start sound may be output before the first character appears, or may be output at the same time as the first character appears, but it ends by the time the second character appears. ..

(2-5) The plurality of characters displayed in the group effect include a character in which the whole body is displayed in the display area of the screen and a character in which a part of the whole body does not fit in the display area of the screen. Part includes a character that fits and is displayed in the display area of the screen (for example, the example shown in FIG. 285).

As a result, more characters can appear in the group notice effect in the display area where the area is limited.

(2-6) The plurality of characters displayed in the group effect include a first character (for example, maid A) and a second character (for example, maid B) whose type is different from that of the first character. ,
In each of the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period, the first character displayed in which the whole body fits in the display area of the screen and a part of the whole body are displayed in the display area of the screen. The other part of the whole body is displayed in a mixed manner with the first character displayed in the display area of the screen without being fitted (for example, the example shown in FIG. 285).

This makes it possible to give the illusion that more types of characters are appearing in the group notice effect in the display area where the area is limited.

(2-7) A shield (for example, a gaming machine frame 3) covers a part of the screen, and the character displayed first in the group effect is displayed at the position where the shield covers. Is started, and then the display of the second displayed character is started.
Even when the screen is visually recognized with the shield covered, the first situation changes to the second situation in the first display period (for example, the example shown in FIG. 289).

As a result, even in the display area of the screen actually viewed by the player, there is no situation in which only one person is displayed in the group notice production, so there is a question as to whether or not it is a group notice production, and only one person appears. It is possible to prevent the misunderstanding that it may be.

(2-8) When the gaming machine is visually recognized from the side toward the screen and the shield, it is possible to visually recognize the edge of the screen (for example, the example shown in FIG. 289).

As a result, even when the player visually recognizes the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the side and visually recognizes the edge of the screen, there is no situation in which only one person is displayed in the group notice effect, so that the group notice effect is produced. It is possible to prevent the question of whether or not it is the case and the misunderstanding that only one person will appear.

(2-9) At the design stage, a display relating to the group effect is created with a mask covering the area corresponding to the position of the shield on a screen of a predetermined size, and further, the predetermined size of the screen (for example, for example). A display relating to the group effect is created up to the area corresponding to the large size so that it can be applied to a size larger than 19 inches (for example, 20 inches).

As a result, even when the design of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is suddenly changed so as to use a size larger than a predetermined size, the created group notice effect data can be applied.

(2-10) The plurality of characters displayed in the group effect are a low importance character (for example, maids C to F) having a low importance in the content of the gaming machine, and the low importance character. Including high-importance characters (for example, maids A and B) that are highly important in the contents of the gaming machine.
The high-severity character has a lower proportion than the low-severity character in that the face does not fit in the display area of the screen and the part other than the face of the whole body fits in the display area of the screen and is displayed (for example, the figure). Example shown in 285).

As a result, a character with high importance such as the main character can easily recognize the face in the group notice production as compared with a character with low importance such as a supporting character, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(3-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
The effect execution means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the group notice execution process shown in FIG. 37) for executing the effect is provided.
The effect executed by the effect executing means includes a group effect (for example, a group notice effect shown in FIGS. 326 to 332) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group.
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
The group effect is an effect in which the number of displayed characters is the largest among the effects that can be executed by the effect execution means.

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, in the group notice production, the largest number of characters appear in all the productions, so that the player can be made aware that the variable display that can be expected to be a big hit is performed.

"The group effect is an effect in which the number of displayed characters is the largest among the effects that can be executed by the effect execution means" is 1 among all the effects executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The effect with the largest number of characters displayed on the screen includes the group notice effect. Further, "the group effect is an effect in which the number of displayed characters is the largest among the effects that can be executed by the effect execution means" is a decoration among all the effects executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Among the effects executed during the period when the variable display based on the hold memory of 1 is performed, such as the effect at the time of variable display of the symbol, the effect at the time of reach, the effect of pseudo-continuous effect, and the effect at the time of big hit occurrence, 1 The effect with the largest number of characters displayed on the screen includes the group notice effect. Further, "the group effect is an effect in which the number of displayed characters is the largest among the effects that can be executed by the effect execution means" is executed during the big hit game state and the subsequent probable change state and time saving state. Among the effects, the effect having the largest number of characters displayed on one screen includes the group notice effect. In the above-mentioned example, the group notice effect does not have to be the effect with the largest number of displayed character types.

Further, "the group effect is an effect having the largest number of displayed characters among the effects that can be executed by the effect execution means" is described in all the effects executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1. The effect in which the total number of characters displayed on all the screens during the effect is the largest is included in the group notice effect. Further, "the group effect is an effect in which the number of displayed characters is the largest among the effects that can be executed by the effect execution means" is a decoration among all the effects executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Among the effects performed during the period when the variable display based on the hold memory of 1 is performed, such as the effect at the time of variable display of the symbol, the effect at the time of reach, the effect at the time of pseudo-continuous effect, and the effect at the time of big hit occurrence, the effect is concerned. The effect in which the total number of characters displayed on all the screens is the largest is included in the group notice effect. Further, "the group effect is an effect in which the number of displayed characters is the largest among the effects that can be executed by the effect execution means" is executed during the big hit game state and the subsequent probable change state and time saving state. Among the effects, the effect in which the total number of characters displayed on all the screens during the effect is the largest is the group notice effect. In the above-mentioned example, the group notice effect does not have to be the effect with the largest number of displayed character types.

(3-2) An effect in which the number of characters displayed is smaller than that of the group effect, and a specific effect in which a plurality of characters are displayed (for example, an effect of the latter half of the SP reach or an effect of the final reach) is executed.

As a result, various effects can be executed, and among them, the largest number of characters can appear in the group notice effect.

It should be noted that the specific effect may be an effect in which the number of displayed character types is larger than that of the group notice effect.

(3-3) The number of characters displayed in the second display period of the group effect is larger than the number of characters displayed in the specific effect.

As a result, it is possible to show the player a powerful effect in the second display period, which is the longest period among the group notice effects.

The number of character types displayed in the second display period of the group notice effect may be larger than the number of character types displayed in the specific effect.

(4-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. With crowd notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
In the group production,
An auxiliary display is made to show that the character is in progress,
When the display of the first character and the display of the second character overlap, the display of the first character has priority over the display of the second character, while the auxiliary display corresponding to the first character is used. When the display of the second character overlaps with the display of the second character, the display of the second character has priority over the auxiliary display corresponding to the first character (for example, the example shown in FIG. 286).

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, while it is possible to show the player a more dynamic group notice effect by displaying the auxiliary display on the character, the auxiliary display does not hinder the visibility of other characters, so that more characters can be displayed. It can be clearly shown to the player.

The "auxiliary display" may be any display indicating that the character is progressing, and is, for example, an image display emphasizing that the character is progressing as shown in FIG. 286. For example, it may be an image display of sand smoke (an image display of sand smoke), an image display showing traces of passage of a character (for example, an image display of a character's footprint), or an image display attached to the character itself (for example). , An image display representing the aura of the character). The "auxiliary display" may be an image display performed in the vicinity of the character in relation to the progress of the character.

(4-2) The layer displayed on the screen is different between the display of the character in the group effect and the auxiliary display in the group effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 284, the image of sand smoke is layer 1, the character. The image of is placed in the layers after layer 2).

As a result, the character image and the auxiliary display can be preferably shown to the player in the group notice effect.

(4-3) The plurality of characters displayed in the group effect include a plurality of characters of the same type (for example, character C of layers 9 and 10).
The moving image data corresponding to the group effect includes the first character data (for example, the moving image data of the character C of the layer 9) and the second character data (for example, the character C of the layer 10) corresponding to each of a plurality of characters of the same type. Video data) including
The first character data and the second character data have different parameter values related to the movement speed of the character, while the animation parameter values related to the movement of the character are the same.

As a result, even when the movement speed of the character is changed, the work process related to the design of the group notice effect can be reduced by sharing the animation parameter values related to the movement of the character.

(4-4) In the group effect, a plurality of characters are not arranged at the same timing and the same speed at the coordinates arranged on the screen (for example, the example shown in FIG. 284).

As a result, since a plurality of characters do not operate in the same position at the same position, the group notice effect can be preferably shown to the player.

(5-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332. With crowd notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
In the first display period, the display of the newly displayed character (for example, the second displayed character) ends before the display of the first displayed character ends (for example, FIG. 327, FIG. Example shown in 328).

The "newly displayed character" may be the character appearing second in the group notice effect as shown in FIGS. 326 to 328, or the character appearing third or later in the group notice effect. You may. Considering that the group notice effect is an effect in which a plurality of characters progress as a group, the character that appears second in the group notice effect is displayed first as the "newly displayed character". It is preferable that the character that appears immediately after the second appearance overtakes the character that is displayed first because of a sense of dynamism and presence.

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, since the character that appears second is overtaken by the character that appears first and disappears at the top as it is, it is possible to show the player a lively group notice effect.

(5-2) The plurality of characters displayed in the group effect include a character that overtakes another character.
The number of overtaken characters is either greater or less than the number of other characters overtaken by the overtaken character.

As a result, the group notice effect can be prevented from becoming too complicated, and the group notice effect with a lively feeling can be shown to the player. Can be shown to.

(5-3) When the overtaking character overtakes the other character and the display of the overtaking character overlaps with the display of the other character, the outline of the overtaking character is more than the outline of the other character. Is also displayed thick (for example, the example shown in FIG. 288).

As a result, it is possible to show the player how the character overtakes another character in an easy-to-understand manner.

(6-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group. People group notice production) and
Execution of the suggestion effect (for example, the push effect) for displaying the suggestion image (for example, the image showing the push button 31B, the meter image, and the character image of "PUSH !!") suggesting the execution of the group effect. Means (for example, a process of executing a PUSH effect by the effect control CPU 120) are provided.
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
The display of the suggestion image ends by the start of the first display period in the group effect (for example, the example shown in FIG. 325).

The "suggestion image" may be any image as long as it suggests the execution of the group notice effect, or may be an image that prompts the player to operate the operation means as shown in FIG. 325. , It may be an effect image such as a light or a pattern that is executed before suggesting the execution of the group notice effect, or it may be a clock image in a timer effect that measures the time until the group notice effect is executed. Alternatively, it may be a character image (for example, a character image of "group") suggesting the execution of the group notice effect. In the timer effect, the time until the group notice effect is executed by the clock image is timed, and when the timed time reaches a predetermined time, a character image suggesting the execution of the group notice effect (character of "group"). The image) may be displayed.

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, it is possible to make it easier for the player to pay attention to the appearance of the character first.

(6-2) After the display of the effect related to the suggestion image (for example, the effect indicating that the push button 31B has been pressed) is finished, the display of the character is first started in the first display period (for example,). Example shown in FIG. 325).

This makes it easier for the player to pay attention to the appearance of the character first.

(6-3) The suggestion image includes an image prompting the player to operate the operating means (for example, an image showing the push button 31B, a meter image, and a character image of "PUSH !!").
The output of the sound (for example, PUSH sound) when the operating means is operated during the display of the suggested image ends by the time when the display of the character first starts in the first display period (for example, FIG. 325). Example shown in).

This makes it easier for the player to pay attention to the appearance of the character first.

(6-4) When the operating means is operated while the suggestion image is being displayed, any one of a plurality of effects including the group effect (for example, 6-person group notice, background notice, lamp notice) is executed. (For example, the example shown in FIGS. 325, 334, and 335).

As a result, a plurality of effects are executed with the operation by the player as a turning point, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(7-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group. It is equipped with a crowd notice production and a dog group notice production shown in FIGS. 400 to 402).
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
The group effect includes a first group effect (for example, a 6-person group notice effect) and a second group effect (for example, a dog group notice effect).
The plurality of characters displayed in the first group effect proceed at the same or substantially the same first speed (for example, speed V1), respectively.
The plurality of characters displayed in the second group effect each proceed at the same or substantially the same second speed (for example, speed V2).
The first speed is faster than the second speed,
The first group effect is configured so that the linear distance from the first displayed character to the last displayed character is longer than that of the second group effect (for example, the example shown in FIG. 402). ..

As shown in FIG. 402, the "straight line distance from the first displayed character to the last displayed character" is displayed first in the group notice effect such as the 6-person group notice effect and the dog group notice effect. It is a linear distance (X-axis distance) from the end of the character to the end of the character displayed last. This linear distance is set to time T, where T is the time from the display of the first character to the display of the last character from the edge of the screen of the image display device 5, and V is the speed of each character. It can be calculated by multiplying the velocity V (T × V).

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, it is possible to preferably show the player two types of group notice effects.

(7-2) The execution time of the first group effect (for example, X1 / V1) is the same as or substantially the same as the execution time of the second group effect (for example, X2 / V2) (for example, in FIG. 402. Example shown).

This makes it possible to execute two types of group notice effects using the same or substantially the same time.

(7-3) When the second group effect is executed, there is a higher probability that the display result of the variable display will be the specific display result than when the first group effect is executed.
The execution probability of the second group effect is lower than the execution probability of the first group effect.

As a result, for the dog group notice effect, which has a lower execution probability than the 6-person group notice and has a high expectation, the speed of the character is made slower than the 6-person group notice, so that, for example, the player shoots the character of the dog group notice effect. You can increase the chances of doing it.

(7-4) The degree to which the plurality of characters displayed in the second group effect are dense (for example, the degree of density D2) is the degree to which the plurality of characters displayed in the first group effect are dense (for example, dense). Greater than degree D1).

As a result, the characters are arranged at an appropriate density in consideration of the speed and the moving distance of the characters in the group notice effect, so that it is possible to provide a group notice effect suitable for the player.

(7-5) In the second group effect, a plurality of characters located at the tail end are arranged from the lower part to the upper part of the screen.
On the screen after the plurality of characters located at the end have passed, the display corresponding to the subsequent effect is performed (for example, the example shown in FIG. 401).

As a result, it is possible to switch to an image for the next production and show it to the player at the opportunity of the group notice production, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(8-1) With a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display becoming a specific display result. There,
A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37, Boingo shown in FIGS. 390 to 399) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group. With group notice production)
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters.
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated.
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character.
In the first display period, the display of the character is started from a specific position so that the character advances from the back side to the front side on the screen.
At the timing related to the first start of the display of the character at the specific position, the front-stage display (for example, the display of the front-stage image by a light effect) that makes the display of the character at the specific position difficult to see is performed (for example, the display of the front-stage image by a light effect). , Example shown in FIG. 390).

The "previous stage display" may be any display as long as it makes the display of the character difficult to see, and is a display that hides a specific position where the character appears (for example, display of an effect image such as light or a pattern). Etc.). "Difficult to see" means that the player cannot completely see the specific position, the player can see the specific position but the specific position is difficult to see, and the player can see the specific position but the character can see the character from the specific position. This includes a state in which the appearance cannot be visually recognized, and a state in which the player can visually recognize the specific position and the appearance of the character from the specific position can be visually recognized, but the visual recognition is difficult.

The "timing related to the first start of the character display at a specific position" is the same timing as the first start of the character display at the specific position, or the timing when the character display first starts at the specific position. A timing within a predetermined period before and after (this predetermined period is a period during which the player thinks that the display of the character first starts at a specific position) is included.

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, since the first character is displayed from a specific position that is difficult to see due to the display of the previous image, it is possible to display the character from the beginning with a certain size, and suddenly a large character is displayed. Does not cause the player.

(8-2) In the first display period, the character is enlarged and displayed so as to proceed from the depth direction to the front direction on the screen.
The enlarged display makes it difficult to visually recognize the character at the specific position (example shown in FIG. 396).

This makes it possible to give a visual effect as if a plurality of characters appear one after another from a position with a certain depth.

(8-3) The character displayed last in the group effect is enlarged and displayed over a range extending from at least one end of the screen to the other end facing the one end (example shown in FIG. 394). ..

As a result, it is possible to suitably switch to the effect after the group notice effect by using the image display of the last character.

(8-4) The background display displayed in the third display period is switched to the background display corresponding to the subsequent effect in conjunction with the movement of the character displayed last in the group effect (for example, FIG. 394). , Example shown in FIG. 395).

As a result, it is possible to suitably switch to the effect after the group notice effect by using the image display of the last character.

(8-5) The character displayed last in the group effect is enlarged and displayed over a range extending from at least one end of the screen to the other end facing the one end.
On the back side of the character displayed last, other characters in the group effect are not displayed (for example, the example shown in FIG. 396).

As a result, even if the succeeding character image is placed in the position hidden by the first character, it cannot be visually recognized. Therefore, it is not necessary to place the succeeding character image, and a plurality of characters appear one after another from a position having a depth. It is possible to give a visual effect as if it appeared.

A group effect executing means (for example, a group advance notice execution process shown in FIG. 37, 6 shown in FIGS. 326 to 332) for executing a group effect (for example, a group advance notice effect) for displaying an image in which a plurality of characters progress as a group. People group notice production) and
A sound output means (for example, speakers 8L, 8R) for outputting sound is provided.
The display period of the image in the group effect includes the first display period, the second display period, and the third display period (for example, the period shown in FIG. 291).
The first display period is a period from the start of the display of the first character in the group effect to the new display of the character and the first end of the display of any of the characters (for example, the figure). 326 (a23) to the period shown in FIG. 328 (a30)),
The second display period is a period longer than the first display period, and is a period in which a new display of the character is performed and the display of the displayed character is terminated (for example, FIG. 329 (a31) to the period shown in FIG. 330 (a36)),
The third display period is a period in which the display of the displayed character continues without a new display of the character (for example, FIGS. 331 (a37) to 332 (a42). Period shown),
The sound output means starts outputting the effect sound corresponding to the group effect at a predetermined volume at a timing related to the start of the first display period, and the volume of the effect sound is set to the volume in the subsequent first display period. A specific volume higher than the predetermined volume is set, the volume of the effect sound is set to the specific volume even in the second display period, and the volume of the effect sound is set to a volume lower than the specific volume in the third display period. The production sound is output.

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. In addition, by raising the volume to a specific volume during the first display period and maintaining the sound output at a specific volume even during the second display period, it is possible to liven up the group notice production at a specific volume even before the second display period. It can improve the interest of the game.

The volume may be controlled so that the sound output means raises or lowers the volume, or the volume control of the sound output means is constant, but raising or lowering the volume is specified in the sound data referred to by the sound output means. It may be something that raises or lowers the volume.

(9-2) The fade-in time from when the effect sound is output in the first display period until the volume of the effect sound rises to a specific volume starts to decrease in the volume of the effect sound in the third display period. It is shorter than the fade-out time from when the volume of the effect sound disappears (for example, the example shown in FIG. 291).

As a result, the sound output in the group advance notice effect is performed in a shorter time for the fade-in, and the fade-out is performed in a longer time than the fade-in, so that the sound of the group advance notice effect can be suitably output.

The combination of the data for lighting the lighting means with low brightness and the data for lighting the lighting means with high brightness is composed of the second brightness data different from the first brightness data (for example, FIG. Example of grandchild table for frame lamp shown in 296),
The second luminance data table is set to light more of the lighting means with higher luminance than the first luminance data table (for example, the frame lamp grandchild table W2 is a frame lamp grandchild table W1). High brightness (“0” to “F”) data is stored in more lamps).

As a result, in the group notice effect, the second display period in which the characters appear one after another and progresses is longer than the first display period from the first start of the character display to the first end of the character display. By designing it to be long, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect. Further, a brightness data table corresponding to each display period is provided, and the second brightness data table is designed to light the lamp with higher brightness than the first brightness data table, so that the first display period In, it is possible to express a weak footstep when multiple characters appear, and in the second display period, it is possible to express a strong footstep when multiple characters appear one after another, and a more suitable group notice effect is given to the player. Can be provided.

"Data for lighting the lighting means with low brightness" and "data for lighting the lighting means with high brightness" are a plurality of lighting units included in each lighting means (for example, RGB in the frame left lamp 9L1). It is lighting data (lighting element) for each time in WWW in the upper lamp 9C. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 296 (a), it is the data (100) of the frame left lamp 9L1 (RGB) in T1-1. be. As the RGB data, the data corresponding to the extinguishing is "000", the data corresponding to the low-luminance lighting is "100", and the data corresponding to the high-luminance lighting is "F00".

The "brightness data" is lighting data for each time in each lighting means (for example, a frame lamp, a board lamp 9C), and is "data for lighting the lighting means with low brightness" or "high brightness of the lighting means". It is a collection of "data for lighting in" for each time. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 296 (a), it is the data of the frame left lamp 9L and the frame right lamp 9R in T1-1.

The luminance data table is a collection of "luminance data" in a predetermined period (for example, the lighting time specified by the parent table or the child table). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 296 (a), T1-1 to T1- It is the data of the frame left lamp 9L and the frame right lamp 9R in 11.

(10-2) The first luminance data table has a longer luminance data switching interval than the second luminance data table (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, the frame lamp grandchild table W1 is switched at 100 msec intervals. , The grandchild table W2 for the frame lamp is switched at intervals of 50 to 80 msec).

Thereby, in the second display period, it can be expressed that the character is running faster than in the first display period. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(10-3) In the first luminance data table, the luminance data switching intervals are evenly spaced, while in the second luminance data table, the luminance data switching intervals are not evenly spaced (for example, shown in FIG. 295). As described above, the frame lamp grandchild table W1 is switched at 100 msec intervals, and the frame lamp grandchild table W2 is switched at 50-80 msec intervals).

Thereby, in the second display period, it can be expressed that a plurality of characters are running out of step with each other as compared with the first display period. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(11-1) The first luminance data table includes luminance data for moving a lighting portion in a direction in which a character advances in the group effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, the grandchild table W1 for a frame lamp is a group. Lights up with high brightness according to the direction of travel of the notice),
The second luminance data table includes luminance data that does not move the lighting portion in the direction in which the character advances in the group effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, the grandchild table W2 for the frame lamp is high over a plurality of locations. Lights up with brightness).

As a result, it is possible to express how characters appear in the first display period and a plurality of characters appear one after another in the second display period. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(11-2) In the first luminance data table, the lighting means located in the vicinity of the character is lit with high luminance according to the progress position of the character first displayed in the group effect, and the character is lit. It includes luminance data for turning off or lighting the lighting means located in the vicinity of a non-reachable portion (for example, an example of a grandchild table W1 for a frame lamp shown in FIG. 296 (a)).

As a result, the lamp lights up with high brightness as the character running at the beginning displayed first progresses, and the lamp turns off or lights up with low brightness at the place where it has not reached yet, so the lamp is turned on. It can be used to express how the leading character progresses. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(11-3) In the first brightness data table, the lighting means is turned on with high brightness, and then, as the character first displayed in the group effect progresses, the lighting means is turned off or turned on with low brightness. It includes luminance data (for example, an example of a grandchild table W1 for a frame lamp shown in FIG. 296 (a)).

As a result, the lamp lights up with high brightness as the character running at the beginning displayed first progresses, and the lamp turns off or lights up with low brightness at places that have not yet reached or have already passed. , It is possible to express how the leading character progresses by using the lighting of the lamp. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(11-4) The first luminance data table includes luminance data for lighting the lighting means with high luminance and then lighting the lighting means located in the direction in which the character advances in the group effect with high luminance. (For example, an example of the grandchild table W1 for a frame lamp shown in FIG. 296 (a)),
The second luminance data table includes luminance data in which the lighting means is lit with high luminance and then the lighting means located in the direction in which the character advances in the group effect is not lit with high luminance (for example, FIG. 296). Example of grandchild table W2 for frame lamp shown in (b)).

As a result, in the first display period, the lamp lights up with high brightness as the character running at the beginning displayed first progresses, and the lamp turns off at the place where it has not reached yet or the place where it has already passed. Or, since it lights up at low brightness, it is possible to express how the leading character progresses by using the lighting of the lamp. Further, in the second display period, it is possible to express how a plurality of characters progress one after another. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(11-5) The first luminance data table includes luminance data for lighting the lighting means with high brightness and turning off the lighting means adjacent to the lighting means (for example, the frame shown in FIG. 296 (a)). Example of grandchild table W1 for lamp),
The second luminance data table includes luminance data for lighting the lighting means with high brightness and lighting the lighting means adjacent to the lighting means (for example, the grandchild table W2 for a frame lamp shown in FIG. 296 (b)). Example).

As a result, in the first display period, the lamp lights up with high brightness as the character running at the beginning displayed first progresses, and the lamp turns off at the place where it has not reached yet or the place where it has already passed. Or, since it lights up at low brightness, it is possible to express how the leading character progresses by using the lighting of the lamp. Further, in the second display period, it is possible to express how a plurality of characters progress one after another. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(12-1) The third luminance data table includes luminance data for increasing the number of the lighting means to be turned off according to the progress of the character in the group effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, a grandchild for a frame lamp). The table W3 is turned off or turned on at low brightness according to the traveling direction of the group notice).

As a result, in the third display period, the lamp is turned off or turned on with low brightness as the character progresses, so that it is possible to express how the character progresses by using the turning off or on of the lamp. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(12-3) In the third luminance data table, the switching interval of the luminance data in the lighting means arranged in the frame of the gaming machine located in the direction in which the character advances in the group effect is the character in the group effect. It is shorter than the switching interval of the luminance data in the lighting means arranged in the frame of the gaming machine located in the direction opposite to the traveling direction (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, the switching interval of the frame left lamp 9L is 10 msec. The switching interval of the frame right lamp 9R is 80 msec).

Thereby, in the third display period, it is possible to express how the character progresses from the right side to the left side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and disappears. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(13-1) In the first luminance data table, the control of the lighting means starts at the timing related to the start of the first display period, and the control of the lighting means ends during the first display period.
In the second luminance data table, the control of the lighting means is started during the first display period, the control of the lighting means is continued even during the second display period, and the lighting is performed during the third display period. The control of the means is finished,
In the third luminance data table, control of the lighting means starts during the third display period (for example, an example of the group notice luminance data table shown in FIG. 317).

As a result, the lamp lights up from the middle of the first display period with high brightness as in the second display period, so the state in which the character progresses from before the second display period can be expressed with excitement by lighting the lamp. Can be done. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(13-2) In the second luminance data table, the control period of the lighting means is set longer than that of the first luminance data table and the third luminance data table.
The first luminance data table is set to have a longer control period of the lighting means than the third luminance data table (for example, an example of the group advance luminance data table shown in FIG. 317).

As a result, it is possible to express the appearance of a plurality of characters one after another in the first display period with an appropriate length. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(14-1) The luminance data first defined in the first luminance data table is the luminance data for turning off or lighting the plurality of lighting means used in the group effect with low luminance (for example, FIG. 295). As shown, in the frame lamp grandchild table W1, the first luminance data is turned off or turned on at low luminance for all the lamps).

This is more preferable because the lamp lights up when the group notice effect is executed after the group notice effect is executed, without being mixed with the lamp lighting that was performed before the group notice effect was executed. A group notice production can be provided.

(14-2) The luminance data initially defined in each of the second luminance data table and the third luminance data table is the luminance that does not turn off or turn off the plurality of lighting means used in the group effect. It is data (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, in the frame lamp grandchild tables W2 and W3, the lamp lights up with high luminance for the first luminance data).

As a result, when the characters are progressing one after another after the group notice effect is executed, the player emphasizes the flow of the effect and performs the group notice effect without separating by turning off all the lamps and turning on the low brightness. Can be shown to. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(14-3) The luminance data finally defined in the third luminance data table is the luminance data for turning off or lighting the plurality of lighting means used in the group effect with low luminance (for example, FIG. 295). As shown, in the frame lamp grandchild table W3, the last luminance data is turned off or turned on at low luminance for all the lamps).

As a result, when the group notice effect ends, all the lamps are turned off or turned on with low brightness, so that the player can recognize that the group notice effect ends. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(15-1) The first brightness data table is designed not to repeat the brightness data of the same control content, while the second brightness data table is designed to repeat the brightness data of the same control content. (For example, as shown in FIG. 295, the brightness data is not specified so that the same brightness data is repeatedly used in the frame lamp grandchild table W1, and the same brightness data is repeatedly used in the frame lamp grandchild table W2. The brightness data is specified as such).

As a result, the data capacity of the luminance data in the second display period set over a long period of time can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(15-2) The third luminance data table is designed so as not to repeat the luminance data having the same control content (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, the same luminance data is used in the frame lamp grandchild table W3). Luminance data is not specified for repeated use).

As a result, for the luminance data in the third display period, which is set for a longer period than the second display period, the degree of freedom in design is increased by defining the luminance data as it is. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(16-1) The first brightness data table is designed not to repeat the brightness data of the same control content, while the second brightness data table is designed to repeat the brightness data of the same control content. (For example, as shown in FIG. 295, the brightness data is not specified so that the same brightness data is repeatedly used in the frame lamp grandchild table W1, and the same brightness data is repeatedly used in the frame lamp grandchild table W2. Brightness data is specified),
In the first brightness data table, the brightness data for defect countermeasures is specified last, while in the second brightness data table, the brightness data for defect countermeasures is not specified last (for example,). As shown in FIG. 295, the frame lamp grandchild table W1 defines the 10-minute data for defect countermeasures, and the frame lamp grandchild table W2 does not specify the 10-minute data for defect countermeasures).

As a result, the data capacity of the luminance data in the second display period set over a long period of time can be reduced. On the other hand, for the luminance data in the first display period, the luminance data is specified as it is, but instead, the 10-minute data for defect countermeasures is specified, so that the defect countermeasures are taken during the 10 minutes. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(16-2) The luminance data for troubleshooting is the luminance data in which the longest time is defined among the luminance data constituting the first luminance data table, and is from the beginning of the first luminance data table. It is luminance data for preventing the lighting means from being controlled (for example, as shown in FIG. 295, 10-minute data for defect countermeasures is specified in the frame lamp grandchild table W1).

As a result, it is possible to prevent the lighting control of the lamp from the beginning of the first luminance data table by the 10-minute data for defect countermeasures, so that a suitable group notice effect can be provided.

(16-3) The luminance data for defect countermeasures is luminance data for regularly lighting adjacent lighting means in order (for example, as shown in FIG. 296 (a), for defect countermeasures for 10 minutes. The luminance data of is the luminance data in which adjacent frame lamps are regularly lit in order so that the lighting location is deviated from the previous state).

As a result, even if a problem occurs, the adjacent frame lamps are regularly lit in order so that the lighting location deviates from the previous state, so that it is possible to prevent the appearance from being deteriorated, which is preferable. A group notice production can be provided.

(17-1) The lighting means are a single-color lighting means (for example, on-board lamps 9C6 to 9C8) and a multi-color lighting means (for example, on-board lamps 9C1 to 9C5, 9C9) that are lit in a plurality of colors. Including ~ 9C13)
The luminance data for lighting the monochromatic lighting means with a specific high luminance includes a specific value (for example, “6”) as a value corresponding to the specific high luminance lighting, and includes the specific value (for example, “6”).
The luminance data for lighting the plurality of color lighting means with the specific high luminance includes a value larger than the specific value (for example, “8” to “F”) as a value corresponding to the specific high luminance lighting.

As a result, it is possible to adjust the variation in light between the lamps lit with high brightness by setting appropriate values corresponding to the lighting of high brightness according to the type of light emitting means, and a suitable group notice effect. Can be provided.

(17-2) The single-color lighting means includes a first-color lighting means that lights in the first color (for example, on-board lamps 9C6 to 9C8) and a second-color lighting means that lights in the second color (for example, the left side of the board). Including lamps 9B1-9B5)
Regardless of the luminance data for lighting any of the first color lighting means and the second color lighting means with the specific high luminance, the specific value (for example, "for example," 6 ”) is included.

As a result, it is possible to adjust the variation in light even among the lamps that are lit in the same single color, and it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(18-1) Both the first luminance data table and the second luminance data table include luminance data different from each other for each of the lighting means provided on the left and right sides of the gaming machine (for example, FIG. 296). Grandchild table for frame lamp shown in),
The luminance data table used in the advance notice effect, which is different from the group effect and foretells that the display result of the variable display will be the specific display result, is the lighting means provided on the left and right sides of the game machine. It contains common luminance data for each (eg, grandchild table for frame lamps shown in FIG. 303).

As a result, in the group notice effect, by individually controlling the lighting of the frame left lamp 9L and the frame right lamp 9R, a more detailed lighting mode can be realized, and a suitable group notice effect can be provided. can.

(19-1) The group effect interrupts during the execution of a notice effect (for example, a reach line effect) that is different from the group effect and foretells that the display result of the variable display will be the specific display result. May be executed in
Even when the group effect is interrupted and executed, the lighting means continues to light according to the luminance data table corresponding to the advance notice effect (for example, the example shown in FIGS. 403 and 404).
The lighting means used in the group effect is the same as the lighting means used in the notice effect, or includes the lighting means used in the notice effect and the lighting means not used in the notice effect. (For example, as shown in FIG. 302, in the reach line effect, there is a period in which the on-board lamp and the attacker lamp, which are always used in the group notice effect, are not used).

As a result, even when the group notice effect is executed by interrupting another notice effect, since the common lamp is lit, it is possible to realize the effect by lighting without discomfort, and provide a suitable group notice effect. be able to. For example, if the group notice effect is executed by interrupting another notice effect, the lighting of the lamp in the group notice effect and the lighting of the lamp in the other notice effect are mixed, but the lamp that lights in both of them is assumed to be. If they are different from each other, many lamps are complicatedly turned on, which makes the appearance unattractive and may give the player a sense of discomfort. In this respect, if the lighting of the lamp in the group notice effect and the lighting of the lamp in other notice effects are made common, it is possible to prevent a large number of lamps from being complicatedly turned on.

(19-2) The advance notice effect ends during the execution of the group effect, and a predetermined effect (for example, a symbol feed effect) different from the advance notice effect is executed (for example, FIGS. 403 and 404). Example),
The lighting means used in the group effect is the same as the lighting means used in the predetermined effect, or includes the lighting means used in the predetermined effect and the lighting means not used in the predetermined effect. (For example, the example shown in FIGS. 403 and 404).

As a result, even if the group is switched to another effect during the group notice effect, the common lamp is lit, so that the effect of lighting can be realized without discomfort, and a suitable group notice effect can be provided. ..

(19-3) The group effect is executed with a predetermined execution probability of less than 100% (for example, the group notice lottery shown in FIG. 276).

As a result, it is determined whether or not the group notice effect is executed by lottery regardless of other effects, so that the processing burden related to the execution of the group notice effect can be reduced, and a suitable group notice effect can be provided. ..

(20-1) The lighting means includes a specific lighting means (for example, V lamp 9G) located at a position related to the direction in which the character travels in the group effect.
The specific lighting means can be lit when controlled to the advantageous state, and does not light when not controlled to the advantageous state (for example, the V lamp 9G is a round of a big hit gaming state in which a V prize can be generated. Lights up to notify you that you are inside or that a V prize has occurred),
The first luminance data table and the second luminance data table do not include luminance data for lighting the specific lighting means (for example, an example of the luminance data table shown in FIG. 295).

As a result, the lamp at the position related to the direction in which the character advances in the group notice effect is turned on during the group notice effect, which causes the player to misunderstand whether the lamp is controlled to an advantageous state such as a big hit. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(20-2) The lighting means includes specific lighting means (for example, stick controller lamp 9J, trigger button lamp 9K) located at a position related to the direction in which the character travels in the group effect.
The specific lighting means indicates to the player that the operation of the operating means is effective by lighting (for example, the stick controller lamp 9J is turned on to prompt the operation of pulling the stick controller 31A and is triggered. The button lamp 9K lights up to prompt the operation of pressing the push button 31B),
The first luminance data table and the second luminance data table do not include luminance data for lighting the specific lighting means (for example, an example of the luminance data table shown in FIG. 295).

As a result, the lamp at the position related to the direction in which the character advances in the group notice effect is turned on during the group notice effect, which makes the player misunderstand whether the operation of the operating means is being promoted. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

[Modification example]
A modified example of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.

(About the display period of the group notice production)
In the present embodiment, the third display period is longer than the first display period, but the first display period may be longer than the third display period.

As a result, by making the character that first appeared in the first display period look longer, it is possible to make it easier to pay attention to the fact that the group notice effect suggesting a big hit has been executed.

(About the execution timing of the group notice production)
In the present embodiment, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which the result of the variable display is a lost display result, the group notice effect is executed in the latter half of the variable display time with a probability of 100%, but this is not limited to this. do not have. For example, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which the result of variable display is a lost display result, even if the group notice effect is executed with a higher probability in the latter half of the variable display time than in the first half of the variable display time. good.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which the result of the variable display is a hit display result, the group notice effect is executed in the first half of the variable display time with a probability of 100%. Not limited to. For example, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which the result of variable display is a hit display result, even if the group notice effect is executed with a higher probability in the first half of the variable display time than in the latter half of the variable display time. good.

(About the characters that appear in the group notice production)
In the present embodiment, the main character Maid A (Yumemu-chan) appears as the first (first) character in the first display period, but the main character Maid A appears most often in the second display period. (Yumemu-chan) may be.

As a result, the character of the main character can be frequently shown to the player in the longest second display period, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, the character displayed first in the first display period may be a premier character.

As a result, the premier character can be shown to the player first in the first first display period, and the group notice effect can be made to have an impact. If the character displayed first in the first display period is a premier character, the jackpot may be fixed. Further, in this case, the lighting pattern of each lamp such as the frame lamp may be a pattern including a rainbow (seven colors).

The premier character may be the character with the lowest appearance rate among all the states and effects, or may be a character that does not appear except for the group notice effect. Further, the premier character may be a character that suggests that the expectation of a big hit is higher by appearing than other characters.

(About lighting control in group notice production)
In the present embodiment, the luminance data is defined as shown in the frame lamp grandchild table shown in FIG. 296, but the luminance data may be defined as follows. That is, it includes the first specific brightness data that combines the data for lighting the lighting means with low brightness and the data for lighting the lighting means with high brightness, and the data for lighting the lighting means with low brightness. There is a second specific brightness data that does not include data for lighting the lighting means with high brightness, the first specific lighting data is not used in the first brightness data table, and the second brightness data table is the second. Specific lighting data may be used.

By doing so, since the data to be lit with high brightness is not specified in the first display period, it is possible to express how a plurality of characters are approaching by illuminating the lamp with low brightness. Since the data that lights up with high brightness is defined in the display period, it is possible to express how a plurality of characters are progressing one after another.

Further, the third luminance data table may include luminance data for turning off all the lighting means that were lit in the second luminance data table.

By doing so, it is possible to express how the character progresses and disappears in the third display period by turning off the lamp.

Further, the lighting means includes a specific lighting means at a position related to the direction in which the character travels in the group effect.
A specific member capable of transmitting light is arranged on the front side of the specific lighting means.
When the specific lighting means is lit, the color visually recognized through the specific member becomes a specific color.
The first luminance data table and the second luminance data table include luminance data for lighting the lighting means in a color different from the specific color.
The first luminance data table and the second luminance data table may not include the luminance data for lighting the specific lighting means.

By doing so, the lamp at the position related to the direction in which the character travels in the group notice effect is turned on during the group notice effect, and the lamp is lit through the transparent specific member located on the front side of the lamp. It is possible to prevent the color to be visually recognized from interfering with the color of the group notice effect by becoming a specific color that is not used in the group notice effect. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable group notice effect.

(About the video data of the group notice production)
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 284, moving image data in which the character to be operated and the operation content (operation pattern) of the character are associated in advance is created at the design stage, and the moving image data is obtained. Was stored in the RAM 122 or the ROM 121. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the effect control CPU 120 reproduces the moving image data stored in the RAM 122 or the ROM 121 at the execution timing of the group advance notice effect based on the fluctuation pattern command received from the CPU 103. It was. However, the moving image of the group notice effect may be reproduced by a method different from the above.

For example, the data of the character to be operated and the data indicating the operation content (operation pattern) may be stored in the RAM 122 or the ROM 121 as separate data. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the effect control CPU 120 obtains character data and operation patterns stored in the RAM 122 or ROM 121 when the execution timing of the group advance notice effect is reached, based on the variation pattern command received from the CPU 103. It may be the one that selects each of the indicated data, creates moving image data by combining both, and reproduces the created moving image data.

More specifically, in the RAM 122 or the ROM 121, a plurality of data in which each of the character A, the character B, and the character C runs or walks is stored in the storage area 1, and an arbitrary plurality of data for which the character is not determined is determined. It suffices to store the moving image data showing a plurality of operation patterns related to the group advance notice effect in the storage area 2, and the effect control CPU 120 stores the character from the storage area 1 when the execution timing of the group advance notice effect is reached. The moving image data related to the group notice effect may be extracted from the storage area 2 and combined to create one group notice effect moving image data, and the created moving image data may be reproduced.

(When the group notice production and other notice production overlap)
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 388 and 401, when the execution period of the group notice effect overlaps with the execution period of another notice effect, the display area of the image in the group notice effect is in the other notice effect. An image that is larger than the display area of the image and that the display of the image in the group notice effect has priority over the display of the image in the other notice effect (for example, the layer of the image display in the group notice effect is the image in the other advance notice effect). It was on the front side of the display layer). However, it is not limited to this. For example, when the execution period of the group notice effect and the execution period of another notice effect overlap, the display area of the image in the other notice effect is larger than the display area of the image in the group notice effect, and the image in the other notice effect. May be prioritized over the display of the image in the group notice effect (for example, the layer of the image display in the other notice effect is on the front side of the layer of the image display in the group notice effect). Alternatively, when the execution period of the group notice effect and the execution period of another notice effect overlap, the display area of the image in the group notice effect is larger than the display area of the image in the other notice effect, and the image in the other notice effect May be prioritized over the display of the image in the group notice effect (for example, the layer of the image display in the other notice effect is on the front side of the layer of the image display in the group notice effect). Further, when the execution period of the group notice effect and the execution period of another notice effect overlap, the display area of the image in the other notice effect is larger than the display area of the image in the group notice effect, and the image in the group notice effect is displayed. The display may be prioritized over the display of the image in the other notice effect (for example, the layer of the image display in the group notice effect is on the front side of the layer of the image display in the other notice effect). When the display area of the image in the other advance notice effect is larger than the display area of the image in the group advance notice effect, for example, the advance notice image that the player pays attention to, such as an image suggesting a big hit, depends on the image in the group advance notice effect. Although hidden, images located around the preview image (for example, an image showing a flame, an aura, etc. surrounding the preview image) include those that can be visually recognized without being hidden by the image in the group preview effect.

(Example of time saving control that does not go through hit)
Next, an example of executing a time saving control that does not go through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.) as a time saving state will be described.
(Example of time saving control using time saving symbol)

(A1) In each of the above-mentioned feature portions and modified examples, the transition to the time saving state (high base state) always shifts via the big hit state or the small hit state in which the special variable winning ball device 7A operates. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when a time-saving symbol is derived and displayed as a special symbol, the time-saving state (high base) without operating the special variable winning ball device 7A. It may be made to shift to the state). That is, as the time saving state, the time saving control may be executed without going through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.).

(A2) As the above-mentioned time-saving symbols, these time-saving symbols may be a part of a lost symbol or a part of a small hit symbol.

(A3) Further, when the lottery process relating to the derivation display of the time-saving symbol is performed, the lottery may be executed by using a dedicated random number for the time-saving symbol lottery in these lottery processes, or the lottery random number of the lost symbol. Or a random number for performing other lottery such as a lottery random number of a big hit symbol, a lottery random number of a small hit symbol, a random number for determining a big hit lottery, and a lottery random number of a fall lottery, the lottery may be performed.

(A4) Further, these time-saving symbols may be a plurality of types of symbols, and may be used in combination with other symbols such as a small hit symbol or a combination of symbols displayed as a lost symbol. In this case, it may be determined whether or not the time saving state is changed depending on the small hit symbol used together. However, if the time saving symbol is won, the presence or absence of the transition to the time saving state will not be drawn by lottery, and the number of time saving will not be drawn.

(A5) Further, in the case of drawing a time-saving symbol and the set value can be changed, the lottery probability of the time-saving symbol does not change according to the set value, that is, the time-saving symbol is used for all the set values. Although the lottery probabilities are the same, the lottery probabilities of these time-saving symbols may be different between the first special figure and the second special figure.

(A6) Regarding the timing of random number acquisition when drawing a lottery for time-saving symbols, regardless of whether a dedicated random number is used or another random number is used, the start port (first start). It may be at the time of winning a prize at the winning opening, the second starting winning opening).

(A7) Regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol is drawn, when using a dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number), the lottery result by the dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number) is used as the winning value, and the time-saving symbol is drawn. When a small hit symbol random number is used, a specific small hit symbol random number value can be used as the winning value, and when a fall lottery judgment value random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, the fall lottery judgment value random number can be used as the winning value. , A lottery using a structure, for example, a time saving area may be provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7A, and the time saving symbol may be won when the game ball passes through the time saving area.

(A8) In the case where the lottery of the time-saving symbol is performed using the structure, when the small hit symbol is used in combination with the time-saving symbol, the variable display number (time-saving number) of the time-saving state is determined by the presence or absence of passing through the time-saving region. Make sure it doesn't change.

(A9) Regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol is drawn, when the lost symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, the specific lost symbol random number value is used as the winning value, and the big hit symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery. In that case, a specific jackpot symbol random number value can be used as the winning value. However, when these random values are used as winning values, the performances other than the jackpot probability differ depending on the setting, so it is possible only if the set value cannot be changed.

(A10) Further, the determination timing of the lottery result of the time-saving symbol may be executed at the timing after the jackpot determination. In addition, the lottery of the time saving symbol is not executed in the time saving state (high base) or the high probability time regardless of the random number value used for the lottery, and is executed only in the low probability low base state. .. However, if the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed in the state where the time-saving is already in the state, even if the number of times of time-saving is reset or the lottery is not performed, it may be determined for each gaming machine.

(A11) Further, regarding the number of time reductions when the time reduction symbol is derived and displayed, it is possible to have a plurality of predetermined number of time reductions according to the winning value (symbol) and the game state. In addition, it is possible to make the conditions for granting the time reduction different for each time saving symbol.

(A12) Further, when the number of time reductions differs depending on the time reduction symbol, the time reduction symbol distribution lottery can be changed between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2.

(A13) Further, even when the same time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time-savings given may be different depending on the gaming state at that time. However, it is required to be predetermined for the gaming state.

(A14) Further, the lottery result of "0 times of time saving" can be included as the lottery result of the time saving symbol in the low probability low base state.

(A15) Further, the number of times the time reduction end symbol is derived and displayed (time reduction end lottery) is executed, and the number of time reductions is set to the number of times until the time reduction end symbol is derived and displayed after the time reduction start, or until the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed. good. That is, in principle, the number of time reductions may not be set and may be unlimited.

(A16) Further, the number of time reductions and the granting condition may be different between the time reduction state controlled by the time reduction symbol and the time reduction state controlled by the occurrence of a big hit.

(A17) Further, when the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the timing of being controlled to the time-saving state is the time when the symbol determination time of the time-saving symbol has elapsed. However, in the case where a small hit symbol random number is used for the lottery of the time saving symbol, when the small hit is won and the time saving state is entered, the end time of the small hit operation is controlled to the time saving state.

(A18) Further, in the case of a lottery using the structure, the timing controlled to the time saving state is the timing at the end of the operation of the structure in the gaming state (for example, the small hit state) in which the structure is operated.

(A19) Further, in the case of a gaming machine (so-called specified number of probability change machines (ST machines)) controlled to a high probability low base state over a predetermined variable display number after a big hit, a high probability at the time of opening the game hall. It is a low-base state, and the high-probability low-base state may be controlled to a time-saving state after the variable display of a predetermined number of times is executed and ended.

(A20) Further, when the time saving limiter function is installed and the time saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time saving limiters is updated.

(A21) Further, the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol may be set to a time different from the symbol confirmation time of other symbols.

(Other time saving control examples using time saving symbols)
As another time saving control using the time saving symbol, the control described below may be executed.

(B1) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game control for shifting from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) is performed, and the special symbol is performed in the time-saving state. Based on the fact that the variable display result of the time saving symbol is displayed, the game control for further shifting from the time saving state to the same time saving state is not performed (even if the time saving symbol is displayed, the time saving state is overwritten (time saving state). May not be controlled to switch the game state). Then, different effects may be produced when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special symbol in the normal state and when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special symbol in the time-saving state (decorative symbol). In the normal state, a special symbol is displayed as a time-saving symbol, and in the time-saving state, a general lost symbol is displayed.) This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B2) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), when the display result of the special symbol is the time-saving symbol, the special symbol displays the common time-saving symbol in the normal state and the time-saving state, and the decorative symbol is in the normal state. A different symbol may be displayed as a display result in the reduced working hours state (for example, the decorative symbol displays a special symbol corresponding to the reduced working hours symbol in the normal state, but simply displays a lost symbol in the reduced working hours state, etc.). Do not display the symbol corresponding to the symbol). As a result, the display result of the decorative pattern in the time-saving state does not give the player a feeling of loss, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game.

(B3) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), in the normal state, an effect suggesting whether or not the display result of the decorative symbol is a special symbol (time saving symbol) is executed, but in the time saving state, the decorative symbol is executed. It is also possible not to execute the effect suggesting whether or not the display result of is a special symbol (time saving symbol). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that the player has lost the display result of the decorative pattern due to the effect in the time-saving state, and to suppress the deterioration of the game entertainment.

(B4) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), the fixed display time of the decorative symbol (the time for displaying the fixed surface result and then maintaining the display state) differs between the normal state and the time saving state. You may control it. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game without causing the player to feel that the decorative pattern is produced in a short time.

(B5) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time-saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time-saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is performed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. (Display effect, etc.), right-handed game is played in response to right-handed notification (notification to instruct right-handed) during the time-saving state, and variable display based on the hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends. Until all is done. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B6) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time-saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time-saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is completed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. During the time saving state, a right-handed game is played in response to the right-handed notification, and until all the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends is completed. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B7) Left-handed notification is executed in the variable display (first variable display) executed after the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is completed. You may. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B8) When the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information. The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed according to the hit (small hit, big hit) in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed is It may be different. As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B9) In the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends, a common effect is obtained when there is holding storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed and when there is no holding storage information. It is possible to execute different effects after executing (For example, when there is hold storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the fourth hold storage information out of the four remaining hold storage, the third hold memory A common effect that suggests whether or not to return to the time saving state is executed until the variable display based on the information, and a time saving state return effect different from the common effect is executed in the variable display based on the fourth reserved storage information. It may be possible). As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B10) The effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (second variable display) stored based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information. The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed differs depending on the effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed. You may do so. As a result, the production changes according to the game state, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

(B11) Confirmation display time of display result in variable display (second variable display) based on remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends (the display state is maintained after the confirmed surface result is displayed. The fixed display time of the display result in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information is executed may be common. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in control data.

(B12) During the period when the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is executed, the right-handed notification is not executed and the variable display is based on the remaining hold storage information. When the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period when the next variable display is started. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B13) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game control for shifting from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) is performed, and the variable display result is small. It is possible to execute a common specific effect (reach effect, notice effect) depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result) such as a hit symbol or a big hit symbol or a time-saving symbol (special display result). The ratio of the time-saving symbols (special display result) may be different depending on which of the common specific effects provided is executed. Then, when the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the variable display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period at which the next variable display is started. As a result, it is possible to suitably control the effect according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B14) After executing the common specific effect, the display result may be a hit symbol (specific display result) or a time-saving symbol (special display result). As a result, the variation of the effect result of the variable display is abundant, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B15) The CPU 103 for game control has a common variation pattern depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result), a time-saving symbol (special display result), or a lost symbol (predetermined display result). Is selectable, and even when the effect control CPU 120 receives a command for specifying the same fluctuation pattern from the game control CPU 103, different effects are displayed in the variable display according to the type of the symbol specification command that specifies the display result. May be made feasible. As a result, the variation of the variable display effect is enriched, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B16) After executing the common specific effect, it is possible to execute a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the special effect after the execution of the common specific effect.

(B17) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained may or may not be executed (for example, a plurality of types). Of the super reach productions in the above, when performing the production with the higher expectation that it will be a hit, the special production is not executed, etc.). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B19) A predetermined effect different from the common specific effect (for example, an active display whose display mode can be changed depending on the degree of expectation for a hit (a display moved from the display position of the hold display to another display position, and is currently being executed). The degree of expectation (ratio) that becomes the time-saving symbol (special display result) is made different depending on the effect mode of the effect) that displays the effect that can suggest the expectation level of the hit corresponding to the variable display of. May be good. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B20) In the special effect that can be executed when the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, after executing the effect (such as the time-saving suggestion effect) that suggests that the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, the winning symbol (specification) is executed. It may be possible to execute an effect (such as a special jackpot whose game value is higher than that of a time-saving state) to notify the display result). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B21) The CPU 103 for game control can be controlled to a time reduction state (special state) in which the number of time reductions (time reduction duration) differs according to the types of time reduction symbols (special display results) provided in a plurality of types (for example, the first The 1st time reduction symbol: 50 times of time reduction, the 2nd time reduction symbol: 100 times of time reduction, etc.), the effect control CPU 120 is given when the time reduction symbol is stopped depending on the type of the executed effect (for example, the type of reach effect). You may execute an effect with a different number of time reductions (duration). As a result, depending on the type of production, the player's attention can be focused on the subsequent time reduction, and the game entertainment can be improved.

(B22) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game is controlled to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state), and the progress of the game is controlled. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means), and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. The transmitted command includes a special command that can specify the transition (control) from the normal state to the time saving state (special state), and the effect control CPU 120 executes a plurality of types of commands including the special command. A look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information that is specified to execute the variable display that can shift to the time saving state (special state) based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information when received. You may want to limit the execution (do not execute at all, make it executable in rare cases, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the effect control according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B23) Based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information, the look-ahead for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information specified to execute the variable display capable of shifting (controlling) to the jackpot gaming state (specific game state) is executed. The execution of the advance notice effect may be restricted. Then, as the look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of such a look-ahead notice effect, a common mode of effect may be executed. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B24) The variable display based on the hold storage information for the look-ahead target is a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed, and a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed. In both the display and the case, the execution of the look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information may be restricted. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B25) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute an effect having a higher expectation than a specific expectation (for example, hold when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red). Do not change the display color to red, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B26) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute a specific type of effect (for example, when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red, the color of the hold display is changed to red. Do not change, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(Example of time reduction control using the variable display count that resulted in a predetermined display result such as the loss variable display count)
Next, an example of time saving control using a variable display count (number of continuations of variable display that has been lost) that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not result in a big hit, etc.) in a normal state will be described. As shown below, in the time saving state (special state), the number of continuations of the variable display that has become the predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) has reached the special number (for example, 1000 times). May be feasible on condition of. As the predetermined result, the time saving state (special state) may be executed on condition that the number of continuations of the variable display resulting in the loss display result reaches the special number of times.

(C1) A game based on the fact that the variable display result becomes a specific display result after the first variable display by the first special symbol and the second variable display by the second special symbol are performed. It is possible to control to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the person, and the numerical information of the number of executions of the variable display that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) in the normal state is updated, and the numerical information is concerned. Based on the above, when the special condition that the number of executions (continuation) of the variable display resulting in the predetermined display result reaches the special number (for example, 1000 times) is satisfied, the normal state is changed to the time saving state (special state). You may control the game to be transferred. Then, the numerical information may be updated both when the predetermined display result is obtained in the first variable display and when the predetermined display result is obtained in the second variable display. As a result, the numerical information of the number of times that the predetermined display result is obtained is continuously updated regardless of whether the first variable display or the second variable display can be executed, so that the player can be easily rescued due to the time saving state. , It is possible to increase the player's motivation to play. Therefore, it is possible to suitably realize the relief of the player due to the time saving state.

(C2) The special condition is satisfied when it is determined based on the numerical information that a predetermined display result different from the specific display result is continuously displayed a special number of times (for example, 1000 times). You may do it. As a result, when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous, the player can be rescued by shifting to the time saving state (special state), so that the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(C3) The numerical information may be updated when the variable display is executed even in a state different from the normal state (probability change state, time saving state). As a result, the player can be suitably relieved when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous.

(C4) The numerical information may be initialized when a predetermined initialization condition is satisfied. Such an initialization condition may be satisfied by being controlled to the advantageous state. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when it is no longer necessary to rescue the player, such as when the player is in an advantageous state, and it is possible to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary.

(C5) When a special display result (time saving symbol) different from the specific display result is displayed as a variable display result in the normal state, control to shift to the time saving state (special state) can be executed, and the predetermined condition May be established when the special display result is displayed. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when the player no longer needs to be rescued, such as when the player is in a time-saving state (special state) that is advantageous to the player, and to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary. Can be done.

(C6) The predetermined condition may be satisfied when the variable display is executed a special number of times. As a result, it becomes possible to control the time saving state (special state) until the next advantageous state occurs substantially, so that the degree of relief for the player can be increased.

(C7) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the backup is stored when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The data can be initialized, and the numerical information may be initialized when the specific condition is satisfied. As a result, the numerical information backed up at the time of power failure is initialized at the time of data initialization and does not remain, so that it is suppressed from being disadvantageous to the amusement park side.

(C8) Based on the fact that the numerical information has reached the special number of times (for example, 1000 times or more), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) for a period of the special number of times or more (for example, 1000 times or more). In the time saving state (special state), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) again based on the numerical information becoming the special number of times, and the first time saving state (special state) and A different effect may be executed in the second time saving state (special state). As a result, in a game that is in an extremely disadvantageous state such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), the variable display time of the second time saving state is shorter than that of the first time saving state. It is possible to change the appearance of the production, such as, and it is possible to prevent a decline in the interest in the game. It should be noted that the same effect may be executed in the first time saving state (special state) and the second time saving state (special state) without executing such an effect. This makes it possible to prevent the player from being aware that the player is in an extremely disadvantageous state, such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), and suppresses a decline in the interest in the game. be able to.

(C9) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process relating to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and the special condition is satisfied when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value. The third process for controlling the time saving state (special state) based on the above is executed. Also. It is possible to hit the game ball into the first path (left side game area) and the second path (right side game area). In the normal state, the game ball is hit into the first path, and in the time saving state (special state), the second path. A game is played by hitting a game ball into the path. Then, during the execution of the third process, although it is not controlled to the time saving state (special state), it is notified that the second path should be fired (for example, right-handed notification by a right-handed lamp or the like). You may do it. Further, during the execution of the third process, a notification effect of shifting to a time saving state (special state) may be performed. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, by turning on the right-handed lamp by the CPU 103 for game control, it is possible to perform the production of notification of the firing direction earlier (before the actual start of the time saving fluctuation) when actually shifting to the time saving state (special state). Will be.

(C10) When the specific display result is displayed in the variable display in which the special condition is satisfied, the second process may be executed after the first process is executed, and the third process may not be executed. .. As a result, since the control to the advantageous state is prioritized over the control to the time saving state (special state) based on the establishment of the special condition, the result is not more advantageous for the player, and the player's hobby of the game is enjoyed. The decrease can be suppressed.

(C11) The numerical information is updated when the variable display is started, and the numerical information becomes a specific value based on the fact that the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times. After the variable display ends (start of next fluctuation, waiting for customers), it is controlled to a time saving state (special state), and when the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times, special information (special number of times reached). When changing the flag) from the first numerical value to the second numerical value (flag set) and controlling to the time saving state (special state), the special information is changed from the second numerical value to the first numerical value (flag reset). You may. As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the control of shifting to the time saving state (special state) by managing the special information.

(C12) The CPU 103 for game control selects and determines a variation pattern of variable display, and selects and determines a variation pattern of a symbol determination time that differs depending on whether the special information is the first information or the second information. You may do so. As a result, when the variable display of the special number of times is executed, the effect can be suitably executed.

(C13) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process related to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value, the special condition is satisfied. The third process for controlling to the original time saving state (special state) is executed. Also. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means) that controls the progress of the game, and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. Then, it may be possible to transmit specific information (background designation, fluctuation pattern) according to the case where the value of the special figure process flag is the second numerical value and the third numerical value in the special state. .. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, different gaming states can be suitably identified, which facilitates gaming control. Then, if the command is different according to the game state identified at that time, the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) can execute suitable effect control according to the game state.

(C14) In the time saving state (special state), when the special condition is satisfied, the value of the special figure process flag is set to the first numerical value, the second numerical value, and the fourth numerical value different from the third numerical value. By doing so, it may be possible to control the time saving state (special state) again. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control.

(C15) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the end of the big hit game state (for example, the time is shortened). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C16) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). The fluctuation time is the same when the time is shortened and when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C17) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time was shortened after the big hit was completed). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C18) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In such a case, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C19) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 has predetermined information (predetermined information) based on the backed up and stored data when the power is turned on. It is possible to transmit a ram clear command at the time of cold start and a command for notifying the number of fluctuations displayed until the end of the time saving state at the time of hot start) to the effect control CPU 120, and the effect control CPU 120 receives the predetermined information. A suggestion effect regarding the number of times the variable display was executed in a predetermined period after the power was turned on (so-called morning appearance is different, the background image is different, and an effect that suggests whether it is far or near within 100 rotation fluctuation is executed. (Easy, etc.) may be made feasible. It is possible to give the player a motivation to play the game in the morning, so that the operating rate of the game machine increases and the processing load does not increase.

(C20) The game control CPU 103 can transmit specific information (a command capable of specifying information related to the time saving state) to the effect control CPU 120 in connection with the execution of the variable display, and the effect control CPU 120 is capable of transmitting the effect control CPU 120. It may be possible to execute a special effect (such as an effect of suggesting the end of the number of time-saving states) related to being controlled to a special state based on the establishment of a special condition based on the specific information. Then, as the specific information, the first specific information (first background designation, dedicated countdown effect) capable of specifying that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is a predetermined value (for example, 127) or less is specified. Information) and second specific information (such as a command that counts down every 100 rotations) that can specify that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is larger than a predetermined value (for example, 127). May be good. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly causing a loss by periodically suggesting the function to the player, and it is possible to suitably realize the command processing.

(C21) The effect control CPU 120 is put into a time saving state (special state) when the special condition is satisfied, based on the execution of the variable display of the first predetermined number of times (for example, 300 times) less than the special number of times. It is possible to execute a suggestion effect (for time-saving state suggestion effect control) suggesting that it is controlled, and a second predetermined number of times (for example, a second predetermined number of times) less than the first predetermined number of times is executed before the variable display of the special number of times is executed. It is possible to execute the suggestion effect every time the variable display (such as 100 times) is executed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly losing the player by suggesting the function to the player on a regular basis.

(C22) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 is used when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 has the special condition (variable) after the backup-stored data is initialized and before the specific display result is displayed. The special display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the display count condition) and after the backup-stored data is initialized. A different effect (such as a different effect when shifting to the time-saving state) is executed when the state is controlled to the special state based on the satisfaction of the condition and when the time-saving state (special state) is controlled. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. In addition, the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized depending on the difference in the production. Therefore, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability setting can be changed, the setting is changed. Since it is possible to grasp the possibility that the setting has been made, the elements for guessing the setting are increased and the game entertainment can be improved.

(C23) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 is used when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 has the special condition (variable) after the backup-stored data is initialized and before the specific display result is displayed. The special display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the display count condition) and after the backup-stored data is initialized. When the condition is controlled based on the condition, different effects are executed after being controlled to the time saving state (special state) (the effect after shifting to the time saving state is different, etc.). As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. In addition, the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized depending on the difference in the production. Therefore, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability setting can be changed, the setting is changed. Since it is possible to grasp the possibility that the setting has been made, the elements for guessing the setting are increased and the game entertainment can be improved.
