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

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

(1) A gaming machine (for example, gaming machine 1) that can perform variable display and can control an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player when a specific display result is displayed as the variable display result. hand,
A game control means (for example, CPU 103) that controls the progress of the game, and
It is provided with an effect executing means (for example, an effect control CPU 120 that executes an effect based on an effect control command) capable of executing an effect based on information from the game control means.
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.
It is determined that the notification effect is controlled to the advantageous state after the introduction part (for example, the fanning part) and the result notification of whether or not it is controlled to the advantageous state. Consists of including an epilogue part (eg, a hit epilogue part) that is executed when it is
The notification effect includes a first notification effect (for example, a notification effect of the SP second half reach A) and a second notification effect (for example, a notification effect of the SP final reach).
In both the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the dialogue sound emitted by the character is output.
Both the first notification effect and the second notification effect have a case where the dialogue subtitle is displayed for the dialogue sound emitted by the character and a case where the dialogue subtitle is not displayed (for example, as shown in FIG. 175). , Subtitles may or may not be displayed for dialogue sounds),
The number of lines emitted by the character differs between the first notification effect and the second notification effect (for example, the number of lines shown in FIG. 175).
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 (for example, the ratio of subtitling in the hit epilogue part of SP second half reach A in FIG. 175 is higher than the ratio of subtitling in the fanning part of SP second half reach A).
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 (for example, the rate of subtitling in the epilogue part per SP final reach in FIG. 175 is higher than the rate of subtitling in the fanning part of the SP final reach).
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 game control means is
A determination means for determining the advantageous state (for example, CPU 103 that executes the process of step S110) and
A determination means (for example, CPU 103 that executes the process of step S213) for determining that the advantageous state is obtained before the determination of the determination means, and
A state control means (for example, CPU 103 that executes the process of step 059AKS025) that can control a special state in which variable display is more likely to be executed than the normal state, and
Information transmitting means (for example, effect control) capable of transmitting a plurality of types of information including determination result information that can be specified to be controlled to the advantageous state when the determination means determines that the advantageous state is reached. CPU 103 that sends commands, etc.), including
When a special display result different from the specific display result is displayed as the variable display result in the normal state, the state control means controls from the normal state to the special state based on the special display result ( For example, the process of step 059AKS025 is executed),
The determination means can determine that the state control means will be in the special state before the state control means controls the special state (for example, executing the process of step 059AKS001).
The information transmitting means can transmit special information that can specify that the determination means is controlled to the special state when it is determined that the determination means is in the special state (for example, "missing (time reduction)" display result designation. It is possible to send commands, etc.),
The effect executing means is
When the determination result information is received, the look-ahead effect can be executed based on the determination result information (for example, the process of step S161 can be executed).
When the determination result information is received after receiving the special information, the execution of the look-ahead effect based on the determination result information is restricted (for example, when it is determined Yes in step 059AKS082, the processing of step 059AKS084 and step S1304). Etc.),
It is characterized by that.
With such a configuration, it is possible to make the series of effects to be performed look more suitable. In addition, the player can accurately recognize the ally character in the introduction part (at the start of SP reach). In addition, control can be performed according to the game state when the special display result is displayed, and the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, the embodiment for carrying out the invention described later includes the invention relating to the gaming machine of the following means 2. Conventionally, in a gaming machine, when the stop symbol mode when the variable display of the display symbol in the variable display game is completely stopped as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-80649 becomes a specific display mode. , When the player is in an advantageous state (big hit game state), and after the end of the big hit game state, the variable display is more likely to be executed than in the normal state, and the special state is reached without going through the big hit game state. There was something that was. However, in such a gaming machine, there is room for improvement in the control at the time of state transition, and in view of this point, the provision of a gaming machine capable of improving the control of the state transition to improve the gaming interest. Is required.

Here, right-handed means firing a game ball toward the second flow path of the first flow path and the second flow path through which the game medium can flow in the game area provided on the game board 2. The ball striking operation handle 30 is operated (how to strike). The first flow path is, for example, a path that passes through the left region of the gaming area, and the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A exists ahead of the path, while the variable winning ball device is present. This is a route in which the second starting winning opening formed in 6B does not exist. The second flow-down route is, for example, a route that passes through the area on the right side of the game area, and beyond that, a second start winning opening or a large winning opening (usually a large winning opening) formed in the variable winning ball device 6B. , V big winning opening) is the route that exists. When the player launches the game ball toward the first flow path, the game ball flows through the first flow path toward the first start winning opening. When the player launches the game ball toward the second flow path, the game ball passes through the second flow path to the second start winning opening or the big winning opening (normal big winning opening, V big winning opening). 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 hits the right side to provide the right side of the game area. The game ball is made to enter the second start winning opening and the large winning opening, and during that time, the right-handed display unit 9030 urges the player to make a right-handed hit. By hitting right while the display prompting the player to hit right is displayed, the player enters the game ball into the second starting prize opening and a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize balls is paid out. The right to the second special figure game can be obtained, or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prize balls can be paid out by inserting a game ball into a normal large prize opening. Further, as will be described in detail later, the V-large winning opening is opened during the round of the probable change jackpot, but the player can make a right-handed hit while the display prompting the right-handed hit is made. It is also possible to obtain the right to enter the game ball into the winning opening and control it to a probable change state. For this reason, the player may have an overall advantage by hitting right while the display prompting him to hit right is being performed. In addition, unlike right-handed hitting, operating the hitting ball operation handle 30 so as to launch the game ball toward the first flow path (hit method) is also referred to as left-handed hitting.

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

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 9055 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 9055 based on the reception of 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 120 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.

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

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

The I / O 105 is, for example, an input port for inputting various signals (detection signals described later) and an output port for transmitting various signals (signals for controlling (driving) the special figure LED board 9020 and the like, solenoid drive signals). Consists of including.

The switch circuit 110 is a detection signal (a gate switch 21, a start port switch (first start port switch 22A and a second start port switch 22B), a count switch 23, a V winning switch 24) for detecting a game ball. A detection signal indicating that the game ball has passed or entered and the switch has been turned on, etc.) is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, the passage or approach of the game ball is detected.

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

The output circuit 111 transmits a solenoid drive signal from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81, the solenoid 82, or the solenoid 83.

A display monitor 29, a display changeover switch 30, a setting key 51, a setting changeover switch 52, and a door opening sensor 90 are connected to the main board 11. The door opening sensor 90 detects the opening of the gaming machine frame 3 including the glass door frame 3a.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The voice control board 13 is equipped with various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the 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 9021 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 9022 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 9021 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 9022 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 9021 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 9022 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 9021 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 9022 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 9021 and the special figure 2 variable display unit 9022 of the special figure LED board 9020, it corresponds to a special symbol (missing symbol) different from the jackpot symbol. The lighting mode to be turned on is also referred to as a “loss display result”.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Hit type]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining 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 that are controlled to a high probability state and a high base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state of three rounds. In the probability variation jackpot 1, such a high accuracy high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The first special figure jackpot type determination table of FIG. 9B is a numerical value to be compared with the value of random 2 for determining the jackpot type, and corresponds to each of the normal jackpots 1 and 2 and the probability variation jackpots 1 to 4.

[Judgment 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 a loss, the post-variation pattern is determined using a different number of determination values according to the number of reserved storages after digestion, and the determined post-variation number is also different.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

When the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command corresponding to any of the main variation numbers 21 to 23 from the CPU 103, among a plurality of types of reach effects, the effect of the hit pattern of the SP second half reach A, which will be described later, or the SP It is decided to be one of the production of the hit pattern of the second half reach B.

<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 design can be resumed.

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

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

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

When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, it may be in the gaming stop state in which the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. When the game is stopped, the launch of the game ball by the operation of the hitting ball operation handle 30, the detection of the game ball by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the lost symbol 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 figure game is performed by driving the normal figure display unit 9026, and the normal figure holding number is displayed by turning on the normal figure storage display unit 9025.

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, the read-ahead judgment, etc. is set on the effect control board 12. Will be. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, 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 9021 and the special diagram 2 variable display unit 9022, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol are performed. It includes processing to measure. In addition, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol reaches the special symbol fluctuation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop processing, the special symbol 1 variable display unit 9021 and the special diagram 2 variable display unit 9022 stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, and stop display (derive) the confirmed special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. Contains the process of making settings for. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". If the display result is "missing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "missing", the game state is also updated when the time saving state or the probable change state is controlled and the end of the number of times cut is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Following the process of step S59, the transmission setting of the start 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 "second" (that is, the data indicating "first") (N in step S1004), the CPU 103 uses the special symbol pointer (first). 1 Set the data indicating "first" in the flag indicating whether the special symbol process processing is performed for the special symbol or the special symbol process processing is performed for the second special symbol (step S1005). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is the data indicating "second" (Y in step S1004), the CPU 103 sets the data indicating "second" in the special symbol pointer (step S1006). ).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It should be noted that confirmation of whether or not the current gaming state is in the probabilistic state is performed depending on whether or not the probabilistic change flag is set. The probability change flag is set when the game state is changed to the probability change state, and is reset when the probability change state is finished. Specifically, the probability variation 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 the 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 9021 or the special figure 2 variable display unit 9022. 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 9021 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 9022 is terminated. Further, a symbol confirmation designation command is set in the effect control CPU 120 (step S1302). As a result, the symbol confirmation designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120. Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step S1303). Then, if the jackpot flag is not set (N in step S1303), the process proceeds to step S1309.

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

In addition, referring to the opening pattern data stored in ROМ101, the number of opening times (for example, 5 times or 10 times), opening time (for example, 29 seconds), and between rounds are performed for the normal large winning opening and the V large winning opening. Data indicating an opening mode such as an interval time (for example, 0.5 seconds) is set in a predetermined storage area (step S1306). For example, in the case of a normal big hit of 3R, an opening mode for opening the normal big winning opening in all of 1 to 3R is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102. In the case of a probabilistic jackpot of 5R, an opening mode in which the normal large winning opening is opened at the 1st to 3rd rounds and the 5th round and the V large winning opening is opened at the 4th round is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102. Further, in the case of a probability variation jackpot of 10R, an opening mode in which the normal large winning opening is opened at the 1st to 8th 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 a value corresponding to the jackpot opening pre-processing (step S114) (step S1308), and the processing is terminated.

If it is determined in step S1303 that the jackpot flag is not set (N in step S1304), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction state is set is set (step S1309). .. If the time saving flag is not set (N in step S1309), the process proceeds to step S1316. When the time saving flag is set (Y in step S1309), the counter value of the time saving number counter indicating the remaining number of fluctuations in the time saving state is subtracted by 1 (step S1310). Next, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the time reduction counter has become 0 (step S1311). When the value of the time reduction counter becomes 0 (Y in step S1311), it is determined that the duration of the time reduction state has ended, and the time reduction flag is reset (step S1312). As a result, when the variable display resulting in the loss display result is performed a specific number of times (100 times) in the time-saving state, the gaming state shifts from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving 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 time saving state to the normal state (low probability / low base state) (step S1315), and in step S1316. move on. If the probability change flag is not set in step S1313 (N in step S1313), the process proceeds to step S1315 without performing the process of step S1314. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing (step S110) (step S1316), and the processing is terminated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Main processing of production control)
In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control main process. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 30 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), 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 emitter such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and a movable body 32. Controls are performed to operate various production devices such as the driving operation of the LED. In addition, the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices is determined, determined, set, and the like according to the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<Details of the progress of the game>
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above, the game proceeds as follows. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the player first hits the left side to launch a 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 9021 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 9030 of the special figure LED board 9020 and the right-handed display unit 9055 of the fourth symbol unit 9050 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 time saving 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 9030, and the right-handed display unit 9055. 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 9022 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 9030, and the right-handed display unit 9055 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 a time-saving state and a probability 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 9030, and the right-handed display unit 9055. 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 9030, and the right-handed display unit 9055 is also completed. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Next, the fluctuation pattern of the main fluctuation number 26, which is the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot among the fluctuation patterns, will be described with reference to FIG. 34 (C). In the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the start part is from the start of the fluctuation to the start of the SP reach (the start of the post-variation). Then, the part from the start of SP reach (start of post-variation) to the development of the latter half of SP is the fanning part (reach A in the first half of SP). Then, the part from the development of the latter half of the SP to the decision of whether or not to win is the part (SP final reach). In the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the accessory does not move at the timing of winning or failing. 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 degree of 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.

<About the scenario>
Next, the correspondence between the content of the effect executed in the series of effect and the game effect lamp 9 will be described by a scenario for each part. The scenario described here has the role of a script that summarizes the contents of each scene of a series of productions.

FIG. 39 is a diagram for explaining a scenario of a hit epilogue part (SP first half reach B) and a lost epilogue part (SP first half reach B). The scenario of the hit epilogue part (SP first half reach B) corresponding to the number 6 in FIG. 33 corresponds to the production mode of FIGS. 78 to 80, which will be described later. The scenario of the lost epilogue part (SP first half reach B) corresponding to the number 7 in FIG. 33 corresponds to the production mode of FIGS. 81 to 82 described later.

<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 is the brightness data table for error used when an error occurs, and the brightness for SP reach used in each part during SP reach (fan part, hit epilogue part, loss epilogue part, accessory operation part, etc.). 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). The brightness data table for the probabilistic background used in the state) is included.

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

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

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

Further, the brightness of the game effect lamp 9 gradually decreases from (a10) to (a12).

After that, as shown in FIG. 59 (a13), the shutter is completely closed. When the shutter of (a13) is closed, the game effect lamp 9 lights up in red while the brightness of the game effect lamp 9 maintains the same brightness as that of the time of (a12). After that, the shutter is maintained in a closed state from FIGS. 59 (a14) to 59 (a15). In the state where the shutters of (a14) and (a15) are kept closed, the game effect lamp 9 lights up in red while the brightness of the game effect lamp 9 is maintained at the same brightness as that at the time of (a13).

With reference to FIGS. 141 to 156, an effect mode in the re-lottery part (odd number symbol or even number symbol derivation after button operation) will be described. FIGS. 141 to 156 describe a series of production flows from the detailed production of designing in the fanning effect to the button operation in the re-lottery effect.

As shown in FIG. 141 (A1), the effect of displaying the decorative symbol combination “222” indicating the jackpot display result on the screen in a large size is executed. As shown in (A1), in the state where the two symbols are enlarged, the symbol of "222" is enlarged and the symbol is emphasized by the concentrated line. In the state of the two symbols enlarged in (A1), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, as shown in (A2), the symbol combination "222" is enlarged and displayed from the state of (A1). In the state of the two symbols enlarged in (A2), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, as shown in (A3), the symbol combination "222" is reduced and displayed. In the state of the two symbols reduced in (A3), the game effect lamp 9 is lit in white and blinks.

After that, as shown in FIG. 142 (A4), the symbol combination “222” is further reduced and displayed. In the state of the two symbols reduced in (A4), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, as shown in (A5), the symbol combination "222" is further reduced and displayed in a normal size. In the state of the two symbols normal size of (A5), the game effect lamp 9 lights up smoothly in a rainbow color. After that, as shown in (A6), the background is switched and the re-lottery effect is started. In the state of (A6), the symbol combination "222" has a shaking period in which it swings up and down. In (A6), a screen in which the symbol is raised upward from the normal position is displayed. In the state of the two symbols shaking in (A6), the game effect lamp 9 is turned off.

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, during the symbol shaking period of FIG. 143 (A7), a screen in which the symbol is lowered from the normal position is displayed. The game effect lamp 9 is turned off in the state of the two symbols shaking in (A7).

After that, as shown in FIG. 143 (A8), the screen in which the symbol is displayed in the center is displayed during the symbol shaking period. As shown in (A8), the game effect lamp 9 is turned off in the state of the two symbols shaking. After that, as shown in (A9), the two symbols are displayed in a smaller size than in the state of (A8) during the period of the start of movement by the re-lottery effect. In the state of the two symbols reduced in (A9), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. After that, as shown in FIG. 144 (A10), two symbols are further reduced and displayed from the state of (A9). In the state of the two symbols reduced in (A10), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red.

After that, from FIG. 144 (A11) to FIG. 148 (A24), the numbers used as the decorative symbols fluctuate at high speed, so that the replacement display is performed. When the replacement display is performed, the decorative symbols that have been temporarily stopped are sequentially replaced with other symbols, so that the decorative symbols are switched one after another. For example, as shown in (A11), two symbols are displayed faintly during high-speed fluctuation. In the fluctuating state of (A11), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. After that, as shown in (A12), three symbols are clearly displayed during high-speed fluctuation. In the state of the three symbols (A12), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. After that, from FIG. 145 (A13) to FIG. 148 (A23), 3 symbols, 4 symbols, 5 symbols, 6 symbols, 7 symbols, 1 symbol, etc. are displayed while changing at high speed. The clear display is repeated. From FIG. 145 (A13) to FIG. 148 (A23), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red.

After that, in FIG. 148 (A24), in which the high-speed fluctuation starting from the two symbols is cycled once and the two symbols are clearly displayed again, the button image and the time gauge are slightly displayed below the two symbols. After that, as shown in FIG. 149 (A25), the button image and the time gauge are clearly displayed when the two symbols are faintly displayed during the high-speed fluctuation. After that, from FIG. 149 (A26) to FIG. 156 (A46), 3 symbols, 4 symbols, 5 symbols, 6 symbols, 7 symbols, 1 symbol, 2 symbols, 3 symbols, 4 symbols, 5 symbols, 6 symbols, and so on. , The design is changed at high speed, and the faint display and the clear display are repeated. Also, the time gauge gradually decreases over time. From FIG. 148 (A24) to FIG. 156 (A46), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. Then, when it is determined that the odd-numbered symbol is derived when the push button 31B is operated from the state of (A46), the process shifts to the effect of (B1). If it is determined that an even-numbered symbol is to be derived when the push button 31B is operated from the state of (A46), the process shifts to the effect of (C1).

[Direction mode in the re-lottery part (odd-numbered symbol derivation after button operation)]
With reference to FIGS. 157 to 160, an effect mode in the re-lottery part (odd number symbol derivation after button operation) will be described.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Win / Fail 14)
Further, from FIG. 95 (i36) to FIG. 96 (i39) described above, the image in which the two characters Yumemu-chan and Jam-chan are displayed is gradually enlarged and displayed, and at the timing of (i39), 1 The image is displayed still for a predetermined period. After that, if it is a big hit, the video of the hit epilogue part will be played, and if it is lost, the video of the lost epilogue part will be played. During the period in which one image is stationary and displayed for a predetermined period, one image can be diverted and used, so that it is possible to preferably agitate the scene of winning or failing while reducing the data capacity. In 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 image corresponding to the hit epilogue part is played after the production of the character movement. Further, in the lost epilogue part, the screen goes dark after the effect corresponding to the lost epilogue part, and then returns to the normal screen. According to this, since it is a flow of switching a plurality of images after the scene of determining whether or not to win, it is possible to make a suitable flow of production.

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

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

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

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

(Epilogue 17)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, at the timing when the effect of displaying the symbol is completed and the player can recognize the decorative symbol, the decorative symbol 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 symbol and the small symbol are displayed at the time of producing the symbol. Then, the effect image by the concentrated line is added to the decorative symbol, but the effect image is not added to the small symbol. Further, the decorative pattern has a higher priority than the decorative pattern and the effect image and is displayed on the front side. According to this, it is possible to recognize that the decorative symbol is being displayed in a variable manner by the small symbol while enhancing the effect of the effect image, and it is possible to make it a suitable hit epilogue part.

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

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

(Epilogue 25)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, both the decorative symbol and the small symbol may be displayed in a state where the symbols are once aligned when the symbol is produced. 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 symbol and the small symbol to obtain a suitable display.

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

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

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

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

(Re-lottery production 18)
In the above-mentioned effect of designing, common design 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. Then, a series of patterning effects may be executed by using the common patterning data and the combination of the plurality of decorative symbols. 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 parts in the fanning part will be described by numbering them.

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

Further, as shown in (b11), the relationship between Yumemu-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is the relationship of Bakuchu in the front and Yumemu-chan in the rear in the front-back direction. The positional relationship seen by the player is that Baku Chu is near and Yumemu-chan is far away. On the other hand, the volume relationship is as follows: Yumemu-chan's dialogue sound of "Wait"> Bomb 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 small 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]
In FIGS. 168 to 170, the characteristic portions in the fanning part will be described by numbering them.

(Detailed explanatory view of parts (r24) to (r27))
FIG. 168 is a detailed explanatory view of the (r24) to (r27) portions of the final reach described above. As shown in (r24), when the AD character is up, the game effect lamp 9 is lit in orange corresponding to AD. After that, as shown in (r25), in the scene where the AD jumps, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in orange. At this time, "Ah!" Is output as the AD dialogue sound, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r25'), the game effect lamp 9 is white and blinks three times in the scene where the AD is handled from the screen.

After that, as shown in (r26), when the character of the maid A is up, the game effect lamp 9 is lit in blue corresponding to the maid A. After that, as shown in (r27), in the scene where the maid A jumps, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in blue. At this time, "To!" Is output as the dialogue sound of Maid A, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r27'), the game effect lamp 9 is white and blinks three times in the scene where the maid A is separated from the screen.

(Detailed explanatory view of parts (r28) to (r31))
FIG. 169 is a detailed explanatory view of the (r28) to (r31) portions of the final reach described above. As shown in (r28), when the character of the maid B is up, the game effect lamp 9 is lit in the Hawaiian blue color corresponding to the maid B. After that, as shown in (r29), in the scene where the maid B performs the jumping motion, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in Hawaiian blue color. At this time, the same line "To!" As that of Maid A is output as the line sound of Maid B, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r29'), in the scene where the maid B is separated from the screen, the game effect lamp 9 is white and blinks three times.

After that, as shown in (r30), in the scene where Nana-chan's character is up, the game effect lamp 9 is lit in pink corresponding to Nana-chan. After that, as shown in (r31), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in pink when Nana executes the jumping action. At this time, "Taya!" Is output as Nana-chan's dialogue sound, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r31'), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white three times in the scene where Nana handles from the screen.

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

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

Here, in a scene such as r25, r27, r29, r31, r33, r35, the output line is a word 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 the subtitles are not displayed for the dialogue sound, the effect can be emphasized by the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9. As a result, the effect corresponding to the character can be suitably executed, and the fanning part can be appropriately shown to the player.

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

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

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

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

After that, as shown in (h4), the accessory starts to rise (the accessory moves from the advance position to the evacuation position). In the state of (h4), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in yellow. When the state (h3) is changed to the state of being evacuated 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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Epilogue 14)
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 subtitles because there are no lines.

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 subtitles because there are no lines. 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 displayed, and at the start of the re-lottery effect, the symbol feed effect is executed using the symbol that was once temporarily stopped and displayed. It is easy for the player to know from which decorative pattern the re-lottery started. As a result, it is possible to show the flow of a series of productions well.

(Re-lottery production 4)
At the start of the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, the 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 accurately displayed 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 symbol during the symbol 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 dialogue. The fade effect is an effect composed of a fade-in in which the display gradually becomes clear and a fade-out in which the display is gradually erased. In FIG. 178 (A), a part of the effect to which the fade effect is added in the SP first half reach A, which is the fanning part, will be described.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As shown in FIGS. 180 (A) and 180 (B), the subtitles corresponding to the dialogue are displayed a plurality of times in one scene (a period of 0 to t1 or a period of 0 to t2) in the fanning part and the epilogue part. In some cases. When the subtitles are displayed a plurality of times and there is a margin in the time scale, it is conceivable to make it easier to understand the switching of the subtitle display by deleting the once displayed 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 symbol sways slightly up and down. The aspect of the game effect lamp 9 at this time is rainbow lighting (smooth).

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

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

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

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

(Epilogue 30)
In the hit epilogue part, when the images constituting the hit epilogue are sequentially displayed (the state in which the image of the hit epilogue is flowing), the decorative pattern is positioned on the edge side in the display area of the screen (in the upper left corner of the screen). Position) is displayed. In addition, the subtitle display displayed in (Y1) is erased, the reduced symbol at the upper left corner is erased, and the center of the screen is erased in relation to the timing when the screen becomes a still image and the epilogue video ends. The decorative pattern is enlarged and displayed using the area. According to this, it is possible to prevent the subtitle display from being displayed overlapping with the decorative pattern and 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 designing in (H22) to (H26) when the push button 31B is not operated is the same as the movement of designing in (G15) to (G19) when the push button 31B is operated. However, when the push button 31B is operated, the time of the decrease in the time gauge when the push button 31B is not operated is absorbed in the period during which the effect of shaking the three symbols is executed. That is, no matter when the button is operated, the period until the button is operated is absorbed by the scale of the effect that shakes the three symbols.

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

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

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

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

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

When shifting from the state of (X1) to the lost epilogue part, as shown in (X6), an image of the unfortunate state (u2) in which the Baku Chu was not caught is displayed. 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 symbol 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 transmission stages than the medium symbol fade-in. ..

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

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

(Loss 3)
As shown in FIG. 189, in the loss epilogue part, the number of steps required to black out the background at the time of loss from 100% to 0% transmittance fades the medium symbol from 100% to 0%. There are more steps than it takes to get in. Specifically, the blackout of the background has 8 stages from (X11) to (X18), while the fade-in of the medium symbol has 6 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 9050. 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 9050, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 9050 is blinking from (X30) to (X34). Then, by receiving the symbol confirmation command, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 9050 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 9050 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 9050 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 confirmation 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 9050 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 9050 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 9050 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 9050, the flow at the time of loss can be shown to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Loss 12)
The special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 9050 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 9050, the flow at the time of loss can be shown to the player 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 luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for switching (for eye catching) at the timing when the screen is switched to the eye catch screen, the luminance 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 loss has occurred.

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

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

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

(Detailed explanation of (r48) part)
FIG. 191 is a detailed explanatory view of the (r48) portion. FIG. 191 (r48) is a scene in which the final fanning before the decision of success or failure is executed. FIG. 191 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing screen switching, and FIG. 191 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between screen switching and time. As shown in FIG. 191 (A), in the (r48) portion, after the display of the explosion chew as in (r48-1) is displayed, the display of six allies as in (r48-2) is displayed. 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 a plurality of the lamps among 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 figure. 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, the parent table, the child table, and the grandchild table are used. Of these, only characteristic tables are shown, and other tables may be omitted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At the final time tb18 of the fanning part of the SP reach A in the first half of the SP, Yumemu-chan explodes before the hit / fail decision (big hit, loss, development in the second half of the SP reach) as shown in FIG. 67 (b18). The frame lamp lights up in white in response to the production that incites whether or not to catch. At time tb18, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 for a maximum of 10 minutes. For example, the grandchild table W8 corresponds to the grandchild table W8 for the frame lamp in the operation-promoting non-fanning 2 luminance data table shown in FIG. 249, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 249, in the grandchild table W8, “FDC” is specified at 100,000 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, and the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD2 is set. The frame lamp keeps lighting white based on the grandchild table W8 for 10 minutes until it reaches 0.

As a result, in the hit / fail branch in the fanning part of the SP first half reach A, as shown in FIG. 67 (b18), 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 WD2 of the reach A fanning part in the first 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 tb4, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect in which Yume-chan located on the left side of the screen and Baku Chu located on the right side of the screen face each other as shown in FIG. 63 (b4). , Turn on the frame left lamp in green corresponding to Yumemu-chan, and turn on the frame right lamp in red corresponding to Baku Chu. 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.

Further, in the child table WD2 of the reach A fanning part in the first half of the SP, 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 tb11, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to Yumemu-chan by making Yumemu-chan, who is located on the left side of the screen as shown in FIG. 65 (b11), chase after the explosion chew. The left lamp of the frame blinks in green. Further, at the time tb8 and the time tb9, the effect control CPU 120 has a frame with a color corresponding to the character when there is a character line as shown in FIGS. 63 (b8) and 63 (b9) but no subtitle. Make the lamp blink.

In this way, as shown in FIGS. 64 (b8) and 64 (b9), even if there are lines of the character but no subtitles, the frame lamp is lit / blinked 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 a line 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 SP first half reach B fanning part]
FIG. 198 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 B. As shown in FIG. 198, in the parent table in the luminance data table used for the fanning part of the SP first half reach B, 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 (WD5, YD5, LD5, AD5) referred to at the time of lamp control for the effect lamp 9 is stored.

FIG. 199 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 B. Each grandchild table included in the child table WD5 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52. As shown in FIG. 199, in the frame lamp child table WD5, the time of the fanning part of the SP first half reach B 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 150 msec of time te8 and 210 msec of time te12, 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 both the time te8 and the time te12. In the time te8, 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 te12, 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 WD5, 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 te17 of the fanning part of the SP reach B in the first half of the SP, it is necessary to fuel whether Yumemu-chan loses in the hit / miss branch (big hit, loss, development in the second half of the SP reach) as shown in Fig. 77 (e17). The frame lamp lights up in white in response to the various effects. At time te18, 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 first half reach B, as shown in FIG. 77 (e17), 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 WD5 of the reach B fanning part in the first 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 te4, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect in which Yume-chan located on the left side of the screen and Boingo located on the right side of the screen face each other as shown in FIG. 73 (e4). Turn on the left frame lamp in green corresponding to Yumemu-chan, and turn on the right frame lamp in cream color corresponding to Boingo. At time te5, 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. 73 (e5). Blink the left lamp. At the time te6, the effect control CPU 120 sets the frame right lamp in the cream color corresponding to the boingo in response to the effect that the boingo located on the right side of the screen emits a line as shown in FIG. 73 (e6). Make it blink.

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 WD5 of the reach B fanning part in the first half of the SP, 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 te11, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in the cream color corresponding to the boingo in correspondence with the effect that the boingo hits the pack as shown in FIG. 75 (e11). Further, at the time te7, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in green corresponding to the Yumemu-chan when there is a line of Yumemu-chan as shown in FIG. 74 (e7) but no subtitles. Let me.

In this way, even if there is a character line but no subtitles as shown in FIG. 74 (e7), 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 a line 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.

And the information for designating the child tables (WD6, YD6, LD6, AD6) referred to at the time of lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 are stored.

As shown in FIG. 200 (a2), in the child table WD6 for the hit epilogue used for the hit epilogue part of the SP first half reach B, the time of the hit epilogue part in the hit epilogue part of the SP first 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 WD6 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52.

For example, at time tf1, the grandchild table W4 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, so that Yume-chan as shown in FIG. 78 (f1) hits back the pack after the pass / fail branch shown in FIG. 77 (e17). The frame lamp blinks in white in response to the production.

The white lighting in the pass / fail branch (te17) is based on the grandchild table W8 shown in FIG. 249 described later, and the RGB data is "FDC", whereas the white blinking in tf1 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 tf2 to tf4, the grandchild table W1 is designated. By controlling the lamp based on the grandchild table W1, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the effect that Boingo is attacked and Yumemu-chan wins as shown in FIGS. 78 (f2) to (f4). Then, turn on the frame lamp smoothly with the rainbow color corresponding to the hit confirmation.

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 first half reach B loss epilogue part]
FIG. 201 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 first half reach B.

As shown in FIG. 201 (a1), in the parent table for the common loss epilogue used for the loss epilogue part of the SP first 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. 200 (a2), in the child table WD4 for the common loss epilogue used for the loss epilogue part of the first half SP reach B, the time of the loss epilogue part in the first half B of the SP reach is subdivided for the frame lamp. , The grandchild table referenced in each time zone is specified.

For example, the grandchild table W13 is specified between the time tg1 and the time tg2 for 200 msec. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W13, so that after the pass / fail branch shown in FIG. 77 (e17), Yume-chan as shown in FIG. 81 (g1) is skipped. Corresponding to, the frame lamp is turned on in white.

The white lighting in the pass / fail branch (te17) is based on the grandchild table W8 shown in FIG. 249 described later, and the RGB data is "FDC", whereas the white lighting in tg1 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 (te17). Can be notified to.

The grandchild table W14 is designated during 5800 msec of time tg3. By controlling the lamps based on the grandchild table W14, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the effect that Yumemu-chan is disappointed to lose as shown in FIGS. 70 (g2) and 70 (g3). Turn on the lamp in white, which is darker than tg1.

The rainbow lighting at the time of hit (tf2 to tf4) 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 (tg3) is dark white. 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 tg4, 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. 82 (g4) is notified and the screen goes dark. ..

[Brightness data table used in the accessory operation part during the development of the latter half of SP]
FIG. 202 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the luminance data table used for the accessory operation part at the time of the development of the latter half of the SP. The grandchild table included in the child table WD8 of the frame lamp is included in the SP reach luminance data table described with reference to FIG. 52. As shown in FIG. 202, in the child table WD8 of the frame lamp, the grandchild table referred to in the accessory operation part is designated for the frame lamp. 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 of one child table WD9 based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of different timings, so that the frame lamps are turned on in yellow at a plurality of different timings. Then, by making the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 different in the lamp control between a plurality of timings different from each other, the time for turning on the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD9, it is used for lamp control by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing different grandchild tables at each of a plurality of different timings. While reducing the data capacity, the time to turn on the frame lamp can be different in yellow corresponding to the background of SP reach. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

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

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

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

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

As described above, in the child table WD9 in the SP latter half reach A, the frame lamp blinks in white based on the grandchild table W7, and then the frame lamp lights in white based on the grandchild table W8. Specifically, in the pass / fail branch in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A where the operation promotion is not performed, "FDC" (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, brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. When the character emits a line, the brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to the character.

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

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

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

For example, at time ti21, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to Yumemu-chan in response to an effect in which Yumemu-chan, located on the left side of the screen as shown in FIG. 90 (i21), chases the explosion chew. The left lamp of the frame blinks in green. Further, at the time ti32 and the time ti34, the effect control CPU 120 has a color corresponding to the character when there is a character line 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 a line 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.

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 B, making it easier for the player to understand that it has evolved into SP second half reach B. 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 B has been developed. You can draw the attention of the player.

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

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

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamps in one child table WD12 based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of different timings, so that the frame lamps are turned on in yellow at a plurality of different timings. By differentiating the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 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. The grandchild table W4 is specified for all of time tun3, time tun12, time tun25, time tun4, time tun13, time tun15, time tun19, and time tun22, but at time tun3, time tun12, and time tun25, the grandchild table W4 is specified. When the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W4 in a time shorter than one cycle of 150 msec, the frame lamp blinks white twice, and the time nt4, the time tun13, the time tun15, and the time nt19, At the time tn22, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 in one cycle time consisting of 210 msec, so that 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 WD12, so that the frame lamp blinks in white at a plurality of different timings. By differentiating the time for referring to the grandchild table W4 in the lamp control between a plurality of different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be set to 2 or 3 times. As a result, the data capacity used for lamp control can be reduced by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of a plurality of different timings. The number of times the white blinks can be made different. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expression) using the frame lamp while reducing the data capacity.

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

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

Further, in the child table WD12 of the reach B fanning part in the latter half of the SP, when a character appears, 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 a line by the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9, and it is possible to appropriately show the player the effect in the fanning part. can.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, the child table WD9 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach A, the child table WD12 used in the fanning part of the SP second half reach B, and the child table WD15 used in the fanning part of the SP final reach are different from each other. Since the reference time is changed while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing a separate grandchild table for each of the plurality of timings, the data capacity used for lamp control in multiple reach effects is reduced 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. 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 to light 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 126 (r35), when there is a character line as shown in FIG. 126 (r35) but there is no subtitle, the frame lamp is blinked in the color corresponding to the character.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FIG. 219 (a) shows a child table used before the symbol starts to move. For example, at times tA6 to tA8, a grandchild table for turning off the frame lamp is designated. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the designated grandchild table, and as shown in FIGS. 142 (A6) to 143 (A8), after the re-lottery effect is started, the design is performed 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. By performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W19, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect in which the symbol “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 the effect of changing at high speed while switching the symbols as shown in FIGS. 144 (A11) to 156 (A46). The frame lamp blinks in red at high speed.

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

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

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

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

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

In addition, when the symbol starts to move due to the re-lottery effect with the lights off, and the symbol is swaying and displayed, the color is smooth and rainbow-colored 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 color 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 in 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.

As shown in FIG. 270, at the time tA6 to tA8 of the re-lottery part, the child table before the symbol starts to move in the re-lottery part is used, and the lamp control based on the grandchild table for turning off the lights is performed. As a result, 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 re-lottery effect is started. Before the design starts to move due to the production, turn off the frame lamp once.

At the time tA9 and tA10 of the re-lottery part, the child table after the start of movement of the symbol in the re-lottery part is used, and the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W19. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 supports the effect of reducing the design of "2" as shown in FIGS. 143 (A9) and 144 (A10) by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W19. And make the frame lamp blink in red.

In the time tA11 to tA46 of the re-lottery part, the child table after the start of movement of the symbol in the re-lottery part is used, and the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W20. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 supports an effect of changing at high speed while switching the symbols as shown in FIGS. 144 (A11) to 156 (A46) by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W20. Then, the frame lamp blinks in red at high speed.

As shown in FIG. 271, at the times tC1 to tC4 of the re-lottery part, the child table for displaying the symbols in the re-lottery part is used, and the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table 4. As a result, 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, the operation is promoted. The frame lamp is blinked in white in response to the effect of displaying the design so that the design of "2" is enlarged and displayed.

In the time tC5 to tC9 of the re-lottery part, the child table for displaying the symbols in the re-lottery part is used, and the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table 1. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W1 to determine the symbol after the symbol of "2" as shown in FIGS. 162 (C5) to 163 (C9) is shaken and displayed. The frame lamp is lit smoothly in rainbow color in response to such an effect.

At the time tE1 of the fanfare repertoire, a child table for the fanfare repertoire is used, and a grandchild table for turning off the frame lamp is designated. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the designated grandchild table, and as shown in FIG. 160 (D1) or FIG. 164 (E1), once before the fanfare display is performed. Turn off the frame lamp.

At the time tE2 of the fanfare repertoire, a child table for the fanfare repertoire is used, and a grandchild table for lighting the frame lamp in the fanfare mode is designated. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the designated grandchild table, thereby making the frame lamp correspond to the fanfare effect as shown in FIG. 160 (D2) or FIG. 164 (E2). It is turned on in the lighting mode of the fanfare mode.

In this way, a predetermined child table is set at each timing of each effect part, and the effect control CPU 120 refers to the child table set at each timing of each effect part, and the child table is used. The lamp control corresponding to the effect is performed using the luminance data (for example, RGB data) included in the designated grandchild table (luminance data table).

In addition, in FIGS. 268 to 271, the child table from the winning epilogue to the fanfare reperto via the re-lottery part when the symbol is not promoted is illustrated, but other routes, for example, the symbol from the winning epilogue is illustrated. As shown in FIGS. 192 to 260, a predetermined child table is set at each timing of each production part for the child table from the re-lottery part to the fanfare part in the case of promotion. There is.

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

(Start 9)
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, so that the player can easily understand the timing when the shutter is fully opened depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. I can tell. 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 11, Start 14)
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 frame lamp is lit in yellow, red flashes, white flashes, red lights, and the like. While the brightness data is switched so that it lights up / blinks while changing the color and brightness, in the time ta13 to ta18 after the shutter is completely closed, the frame lamp is red while maintaining the reduced brightness. Luminance data is maintained so that it lights up. 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.

As shown in FIGS. 125 (r31), (r33), 126 (r35), and the like, even if there is a character's dialogue but no subtitle, the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. / Brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified to blink. As a result, even in a scene where there is no subtitle display, it is possible to preferably express that the character is emitting a line 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.

(Fan 10)
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, and when the character emits a line, the color corresponding to the character is used. Brightness data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks. For example, in response to the production in which Yumemu-chan located on the left side of the screen and Baku Chu located on the right side of the screen confront each other as shown in FIG. 63 (b4), a green frame corresponding to Yumemu-chan is used. Turn on the left lamp and turn on the right lamp of the frame in red corresponding to the explosion chew. At time tb5, the effect control CPU 120 has a green frame corresponding to Yumemu-chan, corresponding to the effect that Yumemu-chan, located on the left side of the screen, emits a line as shown in FIG. 63 (b5). Blink the left lamp. At time tb6, the effect control CPU 120 has a red frame right lamp corresponding to the explosion chew, corresponding to the effect that the explosion chew located on the right side of the screen emits a line as shown in FIG. 63 (b6). Flashes. As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters emitting lines are displayed, it is possible to appropriately express which character is emitting the lines by lighting / blinking the frame lamp, and the production in the fanning part is suitable for the game. Can be shown to others.

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

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

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

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

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

(Win / Fail 13)
In the SP reach effect where the operation promotion that encourages the player to operate is not performed in the pass / fail branch, the player is given an effect that the effect is stopped by keeping the mute state and keeping the frame lamp lit in white. It can be shown, and the success / failure branch (decision timing) can be easily communicated to the player. On the other hand, in the SP reach effect in which the operation promotion is performed to encourage the player to operate in the pass / fail branch, the sound corresponding to the operation promotion and the sound corresponding to the reach (BGM) are output, and the operation promotion is further performed. By switching and using the grandchild table a plurality of times in order to control the frame lamp so as to correspond to the mode corresponding to the above, the timing of determining the success / failure branch can be suitably produced by the lighting mode of the frame lamp. As described above, it is possible to preferably produce the timing of determining the success / failure branch by different sound control or 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, the grandchild table W1 is common to 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. Is used. This eliminates the need to prepare separate grandchild tables for rainbow color 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 color 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 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 specified in the first 10 msec and "444" is specified in the next 190 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp based on the grandchild table W13, so that the frame lamp is turned on in white in response to the effect that the ally character is defeated in the reach effect after the success / failure branch.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21. In the grandchild table W21, "AAA" is sequentially specified for each lamp at intervals of 20 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, and finally to each lamp 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 design will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 264. FIG. 264 is a diagram for explaining the shaking mode of the design. During the symbol shaking period in the fanning part and the re-lottery part described above, the decorative symbol moves as in the first to third aspects shown in FIG. 264 (a) and the first to third aspects shown in FIG. 264 (b). It behaves like three modes. Specifically, the first aspect shown in FIG. 264 (a) is an aspect in which the decorative pattern is located at the center position of the screen. The second aspect shown in FIG. 264 (a) is an aspect in which the decorative symbol is located above the first aspect. The third aspect shown in FIG. 264 (a) is an aspect in which the decorative symbol is located below the first aspect.

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

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

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

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

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

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 in the winning / failing scene. Specifically, when the button is operated immediately after the promotion display is displayed as shown in (K1), the character movable and the hit epilogue part are executed, and the epilogue part as shown in (K4) is executed. The design is put out. After that, after 5 seconds in the symbol shaking period, as shown in (K5), the three symbols are in a state of facing the front.

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

As described above, in the first operation timing, the symbol is in the front position after the symbol shaking period, in the second operation timing, the symbol is in the position facing to the left after the symbol shaking period, and in the third operation timing, the symbol is in the front position. After the shaking period of the symbol, the symbol may be in a position facing to the right. However, even if the 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.

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

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

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

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

(F2019-117)
A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player.
It is possible to execute a notification effect that notifies whether or not the control is in the advantageous state.
The notification effect is controlled to the introduction part until the right / wrong of whether or not it is controlled to the advantageous state is notified, the hit / miss notification part to be notified of the hit / miss, and the hit / miss notification part after the hit / miss notification. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 types of light emitting means is set to the light emitting color corresponding to the first character, and the second of the plurality of types of light emitting means is used. When the luminance data in which the light emitting means on the side where the character is displayed is the light emitting color corresponding to the second character is switched corresponding to the dialogue sound emitted by the first character, the first character among the plurality of types of light emitting means is used. The brightness of the light emitting means on the side where is displayed is switched, and the brightness of the light emitting means on the side where the second character is displayed among the plurality of types 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 types of light emitting means is set to the light emitting color corresponding to the first character, and the second of the plurality of types of light emitting means is used. When the luminance data in which the light emitting means on the side where the character is displayed is the light emitting 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 types of light emitting means is used. The brightness of the light emitting means on the side where is displayed is not switched, and the brightness of the light emitting means on the side where the second character is displayed is switched among the plurality of types 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 serif subtitle is 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 that does not display the subtitles when the output of the operation sound and the dialogue sound overlaps and the subtitles are not displayed, and when the output of the operation sound and the dialogue sound overlaps and the subtitles are 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.

According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, the change of the subtitles can be easily understood by the fade effect, so that the switching of the subtitles can be easily understood.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Specifically, FIG. 181 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example of subtitle display. For example, as shown in Comparative Example 1 of FIG. 181 (A), subtitles for similar lines such as "found" and "found" may be continuously displayed. In such a case, if the subtitle display is switched without any fade effect and without a blank period, it becomes difficult to understand the switching of the subtitle display. Also, 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 discomfort 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.

The light emitting means in which the luminance data is set in the cut-in display luminance data table includes at least the same place as the luminous means in which the luminance data is set in the introduction part luminance data table.

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

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

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

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

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

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 operating means, and the promotion display and the progress of the production can be balanced. It should be noted that the effect progressing during the display of the promotion display may be slower than the effect progressing during the display of the introduced image. According to this, it is possible to make a difference in the progress speed of the effect between the display of the promotion display and the display of the introduced image.

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 a video 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, there are a plurality of types of SP reach, which is a fanning part, and the development of 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.

Specifically, 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.

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 like sending 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 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 symbol during the symbol 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 second 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.

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]
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.

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 indicate 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 effect of displaying the symbol, a series of effects of enlarging the symbol once and then setting the normal size at the center of the screen are executed. According to this, it is possible to preferably show a series of design effects by enlarging and reducing the design.

[Re-lottery production 18]
The display means refers to common display data when temporarily stopping the decorative symbol alignment before the re-lottery is executed and when notifying whether or not the decorative symbol alignment is promoted in the notification part.
By combining the common display data and the display data of a plurality of types of decorative symbols, a plurality of types of symbols are displayed.

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 the plurality of decorative symbols. 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 color 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.
The light emission mode in the symbol output is more intense when the notification that the decorative symbol alignment is promoted is performed by the re-lottery 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 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 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, by performing a common effect regardless of the timing at which the push button 31B is operated, the design can be stopped neatly, 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, the decorative pattern is displayed swayingly until the predetermined timing of the fluctuation is reached after the notification of promotion or not is performed.
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.
Since there is no point where the scale shifts in the predetermined introduction part, if it is decided that the predetermined introduction part will be controlled in an advantageous state, the decorative pattern will be temporarily stopped until the re-lottery effect is executed. There is no blurring in the shaking display, but the same re-lottery effect as the reach where the scale shift occurs is executed.

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

[Re-lottery production 30]
In the flow of going to the re-lottery production after the shaking display of the decorative pattern at the big hit in the predetermined introduction part
The timing for shifting to the re-lottery effect is designed so that the movement is an extension of the decorative pattern after the specific display.

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

<Explanation of terms>
The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has been described above. In the following, some terms used in the present specification will be described.

"Variable display" (variable display) includes displaying a plurality of types of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol), a plurality of types of ordinary symbols, and a plurality of types of decorative symbols in a variable manner.

"Variation" of a symbol is an updated display of multiple types of symbols such as multiple types of special symbols (1st special symbol, 2nd special symbol), multiple types of ordinary symbols, and multiple types of decorative symbols, and multiple types of symbols. Scroll display, deformation of 1 or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of 1 or more symbols, lighting / blinking / extinguishing of lamps (4th symbol unit 9050, special figure 1 variable display unit 9053, special figure 2 variable display unit 9054, etc.) And so on.

The "decorative symbol" includes a symbol that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas in synchronization with the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game.

The "reduced symbol" is a symbol in a state in which the decorative symbol is reduced, and includes a symbol smaller than the decorative symbol. When the reduced symbol is stopped and displayed, the same number symbol as the decorative symbol is displayed at the edge of the screen smaller than the decorative symbol.

The "small symbol" includes a symbol corresponding to the variable display of the decorative symbol displayed in a size smaller than the decorative symbol. The small symbols are displayed in the "left" decorative symbol display area 5L, the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C, and the "right" decorative symbol display area 5R. The symbols corresponding to each of the decorative symbols are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

In the "design confirmation", the fluctuations of the fourth symbol unit 9050, the special figure 1 variable display unit 9053, the special figure 2 variable display unit 9054, the decorative symbol, etc. are stopped, and finally the special symbol game. Includes the determination of the design in. For example, the state in which the fluctuation of the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the left decorative symbol display area 5L, the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the middle decorative symbol display area 5C, and the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the right decorative symbol display area 5R has stopped. include.

In the "design confirmation period", the display result is determined by stopping the fluctuation of the fourth symbol unit 9050, the special figure 1 variable display unit 9053, the special figure 2 variable display unit 9054, the decorative symbol, and the like. Includes period. For example, the variation of the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the left decorative symbol display area 5L, the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the middle decorative symbol display area 5C, and the decorative symbol that fluctuates in the right decorative symbol display area 5R stops and is displayed. Includes a deterministic display of the results.

"Reach" continues to be variablely displayed for decorative symbols that have not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbols that have been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 form part of the jackpot combination. For example, the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5L on the left, and the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5R on the right, but the decorative symbol of "2" stops in the decorative symbol display area 5C inside. Then, the variable display of the decorative pattern is still continued.

The “turning off” of the lighting means (light emitting means) includes a state in which the value of the luminance data for lighting (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) becomes “0” (value indicating the lowest brightness). In addition, "turning off" of the lighting means (light emitting means) means brightness data corresponding to turning off such that the value of the brightness data for turning on (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is "1" or "2". It may include a state in which the value is close to "0". The state in which the value of the luminance data for turning on (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is close to the luminance data "0" corresponding to extinguishing, such as "1" or "2", is ". It may be included in "lighting" or "substantially extinguished".

The "lighting" or "light emission" of the lighting means (light emitting means) is a state in which the value of the luminance data for lighting (lighting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is higher than that when the lamp is turned off, and the luminance data It includes a state in which the value is equal to or higher than the value of the luminance data (“0”) corresponding to the above-mentioned “off”. "Lighting" includes constant lighting in which the lamps are always lit, wave lighting in which a plurality of lamps are sequentially switched from off to on, and moya lighting in which the lamps are dimly lit while changing the brightness.

"Blinking" of the lighting means (light emitting means) means that the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is in a state other than "turning off", "substantially turning off", or "lighting", and the lamp is "turning on" or "turning off". Includes repeating over time. Further, "blinking" of the lighting means (light emitting means) includes repeating "lighting" and "substantially extinguishing" of the lamp with the passage of time.

The "luminance" is a value indicating the brightness of the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means), and in the present embodiment, the brightness data is represented by a hexadecimal number as the data corresponding to the brightness. For example, when the luminance data used to control a predetermined lamp is "0", the lamp control is performed so that the predetermined lamp has the lowest brightness (the lamp is dark), and the predetermined lamp is controlled. When the luminance data used for this purpose is "F", the lamp control is performed so that the predetermined lamp has the highest luminance (the lamp is bright). As described above, the luminance data corresponds to the value of the current flowing through the lamp, and when the luminance data used to control the predetermined lamp is "0", the current flowing through the predetermined lamp is the smallest. When the luminance data used to control the predetermined lamp is "F", the current flowing through the predetermined lamp is the largest. The "lamp" is not limited to an LED (light emitting diode) lamp, but includes any kind of lamp such as an EL (electroluminescence) lamp and an incandescent lamp.

The "lighting color" or "emission color" of a lamp includes a color represented by the emission of one or more light emitting elements contained in the lamp. For example, if the lamp is composed of LEDs consisting of three light emitting elements such as "R" (red), "G" (green), and "B" (blue), the 3 is adjusted by the LED driver based on the luminance data. The three light emitting elements emit light by the current applied to the three light emitting elements, so that the LEDs are lit in various colors. The "lighting color" of the lamp differs depending on the color of the light emitting element. For example, in the case of an LED consisting of only "W" (white) as a light emitting element, the brightness differs depending on the flowing current, but the lamp lights in white, and " In the case of an LED consisting of 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 uttered 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 numbered symbol such as the symbol "2") is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then the normal jackpot symbol is a probabilistic jackpot. Includes an effect performed before the symbol is finalized to encourage whether it is promoted to a symbol (eg, an odd symbol such as the symbol "3").

The "replacement display" is an effect included in the "re-lottery effect", and includes an image display in which the decorative symbols that have been temporarily stopped are sequentially replaced with other symbols, so that the decorative symbols are switched one after another. In the present embodiment, the "replacement display" displays a display in which the symbol "2" or "3" is finally stopped while the symbol "2" fluctuates at high speed and is sequentially replaced with another symbol. include.

"Repeat display" means repeating the same display, and refers to repeating the display using the same animation. It is an effect included in the "re-lottery effect", and includes a display in which a temporarily stopped decorative pattern is displayed many times with the same animation. As an example, the "repeated display" includes a display in which the symbol "7" is sequentially replaced with another symbol while fluctuating at high speed, and finally the symbol "7" is stopped.

"Shaking display" is to display the decorative pattern while shaking it, and indicates that the fluctuation has not been completed and is being changed.

The "stop display" is to display the decorative symbol stationary without moving it, and indicates that the fluctuation has ended.

The "swaying speed" is the speed at which the decorative symbol operates from the first position to the second position when the decorative symbol is displaying shaking.

The "first aspect of the symbol", the "second aspect of the symbol", and the "third aspect of the symbol" are aspects indicating the position of the decorative symbol. For example, in the case where the decorative pattern is swayed up and down, when the first aspect is the central position, the second aspect is the upper position and the third aspect is the lower position. Further, in the case where the decorative pattern is swayed and displayed in the front-back direction, when the first aspect is the front position, the second aspect is the position facing left and the third aspect is the position facing right.

The "fanfare effect" is an effect executed at the start of the big hit game state to notify that the big hit game state has been reached.

The "advancement" of a movable body (feature) is an action in which the movable body (feature) moves from the initial position. The position at the end of the movable area where the accessory moves is the advance position.

"" Evacuation "of a movable body (role)" is an operation in which a movable body (role) moves from an advance position to an initial position. The initial position in the movable area where the accessory moves is the evacuation position.

The "effect display for moving the movable body" is a display for enhancing the visual effect around the accessory on the screen as the accessory moves to the advanced position as the movable body. For example, an effect image is displayed to make the character movement stand out according to the character movement when the reach develops in the latter half or when the big hit is notified.

"Story development" refers to the progress of a story or a series of productions. That is, the story of a series of flows is not interrupted due to a change of scenes, and the story is continuously displayed to the player.

"Part, scene" refers to the group that constitutes the production, and the part is a larger group than the scene. The parts are divided by role.

"Scene switching" mainly means that the display is switched, and in particular, it means that the displayed background, characters, etc. are switched.

"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 emitting 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) When the time-saving symbol is drawn using a structure and the small hit symbol is used in combination with the time-saving symbol, the variable display number (time-saving number) in the time-saving state depends on whether or not the time-saving region has passed. Make sure it doesn't change.

(A9) Regarding the winning when the time-saving symbol lottery is performed, when the lost symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery, the specific lost symbol random number value is used as the winning value, and the big hit symbol random number is used for the time-saving symbol lottery. In that case, a specific jackpot symbol random number value can be used as the winning value. However, when these random values are used as winning values, the performances other than the jackpot probability differ depending on the setting, so it is possible only if the set value cannot be changed.

(A10) Further, the determination timing of the lottery result of the time-saving symbol may be executed at the timing after the big hit determination. In addition, the lottery of the time saving symbol is not executed in the time saving state (high base) or the high probability time regardless of the random number value used for the lottery, and is executed only in the low probability low base state. .. However, if the time-saving symbol is derived and displayed in the state where the time-saving is already in the state, even if the number of times of time-saving is reset or the lottery is not performed, it may be determined for each gaming machine.

(A11) Further, regarding the number of time reductions when the time reduction symbol is derived and displayed, it is possible to have a plurality of predetermined number of time reductions according to the winning value (symbol) and the game state. In addition, it is possible to make the conditions for granting the time reduction different for each time saving symbol.

(A12) Further, when the number of time reductions differs depending on the time reduction symbol, the time reduction symbol distribution lottery can be changed between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2.

(A13) Further, even when the same time-saving symbol is derived and displayed, the number of time-savings given may be different depending on the gaming state at that time. However, it is required to be predetermined for the gaming state.

(A14) Further, the lottery result of "0 times of time saving" can be included as the lottery result of the time saving symbol in the low probability low base state.

(A15) In addition, the time-saving end symbol derivation lottery (time-saving end lottery) is executed, and the number of time reductions is set to the number of times until the time-saving 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 confirmation 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. It is also possible to display different symbols in the time-saving state as the display result (for example, the decorative symbol displays a special symbol corresponding to the time-saving symbol in the normal state, but simply displays a lost symbol in the time-saving state. Do not display the symbol corresponding to the symbol). As a result, the display result of the decorative pattern in the time-saving state does not give the player a feeling of loss, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game.

(B3) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), in the normal state, an effect suggesting whether or not the display result of the decorative symbol is a special symbol (time saving symbol) is executed, but in the time saving state, the decorative symbol is executed. It is also possible not to execute the effect suggesting whether or not the display result of is a special symbol (time saving symbol). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that the player has lost the display result of the decorative pattern due to the effect in the time-saving state, and to suppress the deterioration of the game interest.

(B4) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), the fixed display time of the decorative symbol (the time for displaying the fixed surface result and then maintaining the display state) differs between the normal state and the time saving state. You may control it. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game without causing the player to feel that the decorative pattern is produced in a time-saving state.

(B5) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is completed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. A right-handed game is played in response to a right-handed notification (notification to instruct right-handed) during the time-saving state, and a variable display based on the hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends is displayed. Until all is done. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B6) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, and it is a normal state. In, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time saving state (special state) based on the variable display result (special display result) of the time saving symbol being displayed in the special symbol, and the time saving symbol is variable in the special symbol in the time saving state. Do not perform game control to shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state based on the display result (the time saving state is overwritten even if the time saving symbol is displayed (so that the time saving state occurs again). N) The switching control of the gaming state may not be performed). The second variable display has a higher ratio of displaying the variable display result of the time saving symbol than the first variable display, and the information related to the variable display is stored as the hold storage information, and the hold storage is completed when the time saving state ends. It is possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not the information is stored (when shifting to time saving control, it is possible to specify that the time saving continuous display is performed, and when shifting to time saving control, the time saving control is not executed. During the time saving state, a right-handed game is played in response to the right-handed notification, and until all the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time-saving state ends is completed. Left-handed notification (notification instructing left-handed) may not be performed. This enables suitable control according to the state when the variable display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed (for example, the effect is improved by executing the effect according to the presence or absence of the transition of the state).

(B7) Left-handed notification is executed in the variable display (first variable display) executed after the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is completed. You may. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B8) When the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed according to the hit (small hit, big hit) in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed is It may be different. As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B9) In the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends, a common effect is obtained when there is holding storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed and when there is no holding storage information. It is possible to execute different effects after executing (For example, when there is hold storage information in which the display result of the time saving symbol is displayed in the fourth hold storage information out of the four remaining hold storage, the third hold memory A common effect that suggests whether or not to return to the time saving state is executed until the variable display based on the information, and a time saving state return effect different from the common effect is executed in the variable display based on the fourth reserved storage information. It may be possible). As a result, the effect of the notification mode of the right-handed notification does not give the player a feeling of loss due to the display result of the decorative pattern, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(B10) The effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (second variable display) stored based on the remaining holding storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining holding storage information. The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed differs depending on the effect at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed. You may do so. As a result, the production changes according to the game state, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

(B11) Confirmation display time of display result in variable display (second variable display) based on remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends (the display state is maintained after the confirmed surface result is displayed. The fixed display time of the display result in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information is executed may be common. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in control data.

(B12) During the period when the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is executed, the right-handed notification is not executed and the variable display is based on the remaining hold storage information. When the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period when the next variable display is started. As a result, since the instruction of how to hit is given appropriately, the game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(B13) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game control for shifting from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state) is performed, and the variable display result is small. It is possible to execute a common specific effect (reach effect, notice effect) depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result) such as a hit symbol or a big hit symbol or a time-saving symbol (special display result). The ratio of the time-saving symbols (special display result) may be different depending on which of the common specific effects provided is executed. Then, when the display result of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the variable display, the right-handed notification may be executed during the initial period at which the next variable display is started. As a result, it is possible to suitably control the effect according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B14) After executing the common specific effect, the display result may be a hit symbol (specific display result) or a time-saving symbol (special display result). As a result, the variation of the effect result of the variable display is abundant, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B15) The CPU 103 for game control has a common variation pattern depending on whether it is a hit symbol (specific display result), a time-saving symbol (special display result), or a lost symbol (predetermined display result). Is selectable, and even when the effect control CPU 120 receives a command for specifying the same fluctuation pattern from the game control CPU 103, different effects are displayed in the variable display according to the type of the symbol specification command that specifies the display result. May be made feasible. As a result, the variation of the variable display effect is enriched, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(B16) After executing the common specific effect, it is possible to execute a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the special effect after the execution of the common specific effect.

(B17) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, a special effect that can be executed when a time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained may or may not be executed (for example, a plurality of types). Of the super reach productions in the above, when performing the production with the highest expectation, the special production is not executed, etc.). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (ratio) of a time-saving symbol (special display result) when the special effect is executed may be different. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B19) A predetermined effect different from the common specific effect (for example, an active display whose display mode can be changed depending on the degree of expectation for a hit (a display moved from the display position of the hold display to another display position, and is currently being executed). The degree of expectation (ratio) that becomes the time saving symbol (special display result) is made different according to the effect mode of the effect) that displays the effect that can suggest the expectation of the hit corresponding to the variable display of. May be good. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B20) In the special effect that can be executed when the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, after performing the effect (such as the time-saving suggestion effect) that suggests that the time-saving symbol (special display result) is obtained, the winning symbol (specification) is executed. It may be possible to execute an effect (such as a special jackpot whose game value is higher than that of a time-saving state) to notify the display result). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game because the expectation that is a hit is maintained without executing the effect of inciting only the time saving state excessively.

(B21) The CPU 103 for game control can be controlled to a time reduction state (special state) in which the number of time reductions (time reduction continuation period) differs according to the types of time reduction symbols (special display results) provided in a plurality of types (for example, the first). The 1st time reduction symbol: 50 times of time reduction, the 2nd time reduction symbol: 100 times of time reduction, etc.), the effect control CPU 120 is given when the time reduction symbol is stopped depending on the type of effect executed (for example, the type of reach effect, etc.). You may execute effects with different number of time reductions (duration). As a result, depending on the type of production, the player's attention can be focused on the subsequent time reduction, and the game entertainment can be improved.

(B22) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving symbol is displayed in the special state in the normal state, the game is controlled to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state), and the progress of the game is controlled. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means), and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. The transmitted command includes a special command that can specify the transition (control) from the normal state to the time saving state (special state), and the effect control CPU 120 executes a plurality of types of commands including the special command. A look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information that is specified to execute the variable display that can shift to the time saving state (special state) based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information when received. You may want to limit the execution (do not execute at all, make it executable in rare cases, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the effect control according to the game state when the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed.

(B23) Based on the look-ahead of the hold storage information, the look-ahead for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information specified to execute the variable display capable of shifting (controlling) to the jackpot gaming state (specific game state) is executed. The execution of the advance notice effect may be restricted. Then, as the look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of such a look-ahead notice effect, it may be possible to execute the effect of a common mode. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B24) The variable display based on the hold storage information for the look-ahead target is a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed, and a variable display in which the time saving symbol (special display result) is displayed. In both the display and the case, the execution of the look-ahead notice effect for the hold storage information generated after the hold storage information may be restricted. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state as the game state shifts.

(B25) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute an effect having a higher expectation than a specific expectation (for example, hold when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red). Do not change the display color to red, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state as the game state shifts.

(B26) The look-ahead notice effect during the execution restriction of the look-ahead notice effect does not execute a specific type of effect (for example, when the expectation of the color of the hold display is blue <green <red, the color of the hold display is changed to red. Do not change, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest of the game by limiting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state as the game state shifts.

(Example of time saving control using the variable display number that resulted in a predetermined display result such as the loss variable display number)
Next, an example of time saving control using a variable display count (number of continuations of variable display that has been lost) that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not result in a big hit, etc.) in a normal state will be described. As shown below, in the time saving state (special state), the number of continuations of the variable display that has become the predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) has reached the special number (for example, 1000 times). May be feasible on condition. As the predetermined result, the time saving state (special state) may be executed on condition that the number of continuations of the variable display resulting in the loss display result reaches the special number of times.

(C1) A game based on the fact that the variable display result becomes a specific display result after the first variable display by the first special symbol and the second variable display by the second special symbol are performed. It is possible to control to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the person, and the numerical information of the number of executions of the variable display that has become a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.) in the normal state is updated, and the numerical information is concerned. Based on the above, when the special condition that the number of executions (continuation) of the variable display resulting in the predetermined display result reaches the special number (for example, 1000 times) is satisfied, the normal state is changed to the time saving state (special state). You may control the game to be transferred. Then, the numerical information may be updated both when the predetermined display result is obtained in the first variable display and when the predetermined display result is obtained in the second variable display. As a result, the numerical information of the number of times that the predetermined display result is obtained is continuously updated regardless of whether the first variable display or the second variable display can be executed, so that the player can be easily rescued due to the time saving state. , It is possible to increase the player's motivation to play. Therefore, it is possible to suitably realize the relief of the player due to the time saving state.

(C2) The special condition is satisfied when it is determined based on the numerical information that a predetermined display result different from the specific display result is continuously displayed a special number of times (for example, 1000 times). You may do it. As a result, when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous, the player can be rescued by shifting to the time saving state (special state), so that the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

(C3) The numerical information may be updated when the variable display is executed even in a state different from the normal state (probability change state, time saving state). As a result, the player can be suitably relieved when the display results that are disadvantageous to the player are continuous.

(C4) The numerical information may be initialized when a predetermined initialization condition is satisfied. Such an initialization condition may be satisfied by being controlled to the advantageous state. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when it is no longer necessary to rescue the player, such as when the player is in an advantageous state, and it is possible to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary.

(C5) When a special display result (time saving symbol) different from the specific display result is displayed as a variable display result in the normal state, control to shift to the time saving state (special state) can be executed, and the predetermined condition May be established when the special display result is displayed. As a result, it is possible to suppress relief when the player no longer needs to be rescued, such as when the player is in a time-saving state (special state) that is advantageous to the player, and to prevent the gambling from being increased more than necessary. Can be done.

(C6) The predetermined condition may be satisfied when the variable display is executed a special number of times. As a result, it becomes possible to control the time saving state (special state) until the next advantageous state occurs substantially, so that the degree of relief for the player can be increased.

(C7) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the backup is stored when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The data can be initialized, and the numerical information may be initialized when the specific condition is satisfied. As a result, the numerical information backed up at the time of power failure is initialized at the time of data initialization and does not remain, so that it is suppressed from being disadvantageous to the amusement park side.

(C8) Based on the fact that the numerical information has reached the special number of times (for example, 1000 times or more), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) for a period of the special number of times or more (for example, 1000 times or more). In the time saving state (special state), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) again based on the numerical information becoming the special number of times, and the first time saving state (special state) and A different effect may be executed in the second time saving state (special state). As a result, in a game that is in an extremely disadvantageous state such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), the variable display time of the second time saving state is shorter than that of the first time saving state. It is possible to change the appearance of the production, such as, and it is possible to prevent a decline in the interest in the game. It should be noted that the same effect may be executed in the first time saving state (special state) and the second time saving state (special state) without executing such an effect. This makes it possible to prevent the player from being aware that the player is in an extremely disadvantageous state, such as being controlled by the second time saving state (special state), and suppresses a decline in the interest in the game. be able to.

(C9) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process relating to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and the special condition is satisfied when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value. The third process for controlling the time saving state (special state) based on the above is executed. Also. It is possible to hit the game ball into the first path (left side game area) and the second path (right side game area). In the normal state, the game ball is hit into the first path, and in the time saving state (special state), the second path. A game is played by hitting a game ball into the path. Then, during the execution of the third process, although it is not controlled to the time saving state (special state), it is notified that the second path should be fired (for example, right-handed notification by a right-handed lamp or the like). You may do it. Further, during the execution of the third process, a notification effect of shifting to a time saving state (special state) may be performed. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, by turning on the right-handed lamp by the CPU 103 for game control, it is possible to perform an effect of notifying the firing direction early (before the actual start of the time saving fluctuation) when actually shifting to the time saving state (special state). Will be.

(C10) When the specific display result is displayed in the variable display in which the special condition is satisfied, the second process may be executed after the first process is executed, and the third process may not be executed. .. As a result, since the control to the advantageous state is prioritized over the control to the time saving state (special state) based on the establishment of the special condition, the result is not more advantageous for the player, and the player's hobby of the game is enjoyed. The decrease can be suppressed.

(C11) The numerical information is updated when the variable display is started, and the numerical information becomes a specific value based on the fact that the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times. After the variable display ends (start of next fluctuation, waiting for customers), it is controlled to a time saving state (special state), and when the updated numerical information becomes a specific value corresponding to the special number of times, special information (special number of times reached). When changing the flag) from the first numerical value to the second numerical value (flag set) and controlling to the time saving state (special state), the special information is changed from the second numerical value to the first numerical value (flag reset). You may. As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the control of shifting to the time saving state (special state) by managing the special information.

(C12) The CPU 103 for game control selects and determines a variation pattern of variable display, and selects and determines a variation pattern of a symbol determination time that differs depending on whether the special information is the first information or the second information. You may do so. As a result, when the variable display of the special number of times is executed, the effect can be suitably executed.

(C13) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first process related to the variable display is executed, and the value of the special figure process flag is different from the first numerical value (4 or later). ), The second process related to the advantageous state (big hit game state) is executed, and when the value of the special figure process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value, the special condition is satisfied. The third process for controlling to the original time saving state (special state) is executed. Also. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means) that controls the progress of the game, and the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command can execute the effect based on the command. Then, it may be possible to transmit specific information (background designation, fluctuation pattern) according to the case where the value of the special figure process flag is the second numerical value and the third numerical value in the special state. .. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control. For example, different gaming states can be suitably identified, which facilitates gaming control. Then, if the command is different according to the game state identified at that time, the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) can execute suitable effect control according to the game state.

(C14) In the time saving state (special state), when the special condition is satisfied, the value of the special figure process flag is set to the first numerical value, the second numerical value, and the fourth numerical value different from the third numerical value. By doing so, it may be possible to control the time saving state (special state) again. As a result, even if a new function is installed in the gaming machine and the specifications become complicated, it becomes possible to perform appropriate control.

(C15) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the end of the big hit game state (for example, the time is shortened). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C16) In the time saving state (special state), there are cases where the specific display result (hit symbol) is displayed and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the special condition (variable display number of times). It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). The fluctuation time is the same when the time is shortened and when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C17) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In some cases, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time was shortened after the big hit was completed). As a result, it is possible to perform the production of a time-saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

(C18) In the time saving state (special state), the case where the special display result (time saving symbol) is displayed is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and the special condition (variable display number of times) It may be possible to execute the same effect when the condition) is satisfied and the time is controlled to the time saving state (special state) (for example, the time saving state is set when the variable display number is equal to or more than the special number of times). In such a case, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the big hit is completed). As a result, since no new production data is required, the development cost is not increased, and the game entertainment can be improved by not confusing the player.

(C19) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 receives predetermined information (based on the backed up and stored data when the power is turned on). It is possible to transmit a ram clear command at the time of cold start and a command for notifying the number of fluctuations displayed until the end of the time saving state at the time of hot start) to the effect control CPU 120, and the effect control CPU 120 receives the predetermined information. A suggestion effect regarding the number of times the variable display was executed in a predetermined period after the power was turned on (so-called morning output is different, the background image is different, and an effect that suggests whether it is far or near within 100 rotation fluctuations is executed. (Easy, etc.) may be made feasible. It is possible to give the player a motivation to play the game in the morning, so that the operating rate of the game machine increases and the processing load does not increase.

(C20) The game control CPU 103 can transmit specific information (a command capable of specifying information related to the time saving state) to the effect control CPU 120 in connection with the execution of the variable display, and the effect control CPU 120 is capable of transmitting the effect control CPU 120. It may be possible to execute a special effect (such as an effect of suggesting the end of the number of time-saving states) related to being controlled to a special state based on the establishment of a special condition based on the specific information. Then, as the specific information, the first specific information (first background designation, dedicated countdown effect) capable of specifying that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is a predetermined value (for example, 127) or less is specified. Information) and second specific information (such as a command that counts down every 100 rotations) that can specify that the difference between the number of times the variable display is executed and the special number of times is larger than a predetermined value (for example, 127). May be good. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly causing a loss by periodically suggesting the function to the player, and it is possible to suitably realize the command processing.

(C21) The effect control CPU 120 is put into a time saving state (special state) when the special condition is satisfied, based on the execution of the variable display of the first predetermined number of times (for example, 300 times) less than the special number of times. It is possible to execute a suggestion effect (for time-saving state suggestion effect control) suggesting that it is controlled, and a second predetermined number of times (for example, a second predetermined number of times) less than the first predetermined number of times is executed before the variable display of the special number of times is executed. It is possible to execute the suggestion effect every time the variable display (such as 100 times) is executed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of unknowingly losing the player by suggesting the function to the player on a regular basis.

(C22) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like, and the game control CPU 103 is used when a specific condition such as an initialization operation at power-on is satisfied. The backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 has the special condition (variable) after the backup-stored data is initialized and before the specific display result is displayed. The special display result (hit symbol) is displayed after the 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 time saving symbol, the case where the big hit occurs, or the case where the loss occurs.

The present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Each configuration relating to the features of the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be appropriately combined with a part or all of each configuration relating to other feature portions. The feature portions thus combined or the individual feature portions that are not combined may be appropriately combined with a part or all of each configuration related to the other feature portions.

The above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine 1 is a pay-out type gaming machine that pays out a predetermined number of gaming media as prizes based on the occurrence of winning, but is an enclosed type that encloses the gaming media and gives points based on the occurrence of winning. It may be a gaming machine.

Only one type of symbol (for example, a symbol indicating "-") is displayed during the variable display of the special symbol, and the variable display may be performed by repeating the display and extinguishing of the symbol. Further, even if the symbol is displayed during the variable display, the symbol may not be displayed when the variable display is stopped (the symbol indicating "-" may not be displayed as the display result).

In the above description, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is shown as a gaming machine, but a medal is inserted and a predetermined number of bets is set, and a plurality of types of symbols are rotated according to the operation of the operation lever by the player, depending on the player. If the combination of stop symbols becomes a specific combination of symbols when the symbols are stopped in response to the operation of the stop button, a slot machine capable of executing a game in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player (for example, a big bonus, The present invention can also be applied to a slot machine equipped with one or more of regular bonus, RT, AT, ART, and CZ (hereinafter, bonus, etc.).

In this specification, one of the expressions for comparison of various ratios such as the execution ratio of the production (expressions such as "high", "low", and "differentiate") is "0%". It may be included. For example, one may have a percentage of "0%" and the other a percentage of "100%" or less than "100%".

The present invention is not limited to those described above. Further, the specific configuration is included in the present invention even if there are changes or additions within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention, in addition to the above-described embodiment and other embodiments described later.

Further, all or a part of the configurations shown in the above-described embodiment and each modification, and the configurations shown in the following embodiment and each modification may be arbitrarily combined.

It should be considered that the above-described embodiment and the following-described embodiment disclosed this time are exemplary in all respects and are not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown by the scope of claims rather than the above description and the description below, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.

In addition to the gaming machine of the present invention, a gaming machine capable of performing variable display and controlling to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player when a specific display result is displayed as the variable display result. (For example, a game machine 1), a game control means (for example, CPU 103, etc.) that controls the progress of a game, and an effect execution means (for example, an effect control command) that can execute an effect based on information from the game control means. (For example, an effect control CPU 120 that executes an effect based on It is possible, and the notification effect is controlled to the introduction part (for example, the fanning part) until the propriety of whether or not it is controlled to the advantageous state is notified, and to the advantageous state after the notification of the success or failure. It is configured to include an epilogue part (for example, a hit epilogue part) that is executed when it is determined that the notification effect is to be performed. In each of the first notification effect and the second notification effect, including the two notification effects (for example, the notification effect of the SP final reach), the dialogue sound emitted by the character is output, and the first notification effect and the second notification effect are output. In each of the notification effects, there are a case where the dialogue subtitle is displayed for the dialogue sound emitted by the character and a case where the dialogue subtitle is not displayed (for example, as shown in FIG. 175, the subtitle is displayed for the dialogue sound. The number of lines emitted by the character differs between the first notification effect and the second notification effect (for example, the number of lines shown in FIG. 175), and the epilogue of the first notification effect. The ratio of displaying dialogue subtitles to the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the part is higher than the ratio of displaying dialogue subtitles to the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the introduction part of the first notification effect (for example, FIG. 175). The ratio of subtitles in the hit epilogue part of the second half of the SP reach A is higher than the ratio of subtitles in the fanning part of the second half of the SP reach A) The ratio of displaying subtitles is higher than the ratio of displaying dialogue subtitles for the dialogue sound emitted by the character in the introduction part of the second notification effect (for example, subtitles are added in the epilogue part at the SP final reach in FIG. 175. The ratio is S In the introductory part, the dialogue sound emitted by the character is output, and the dialogue subtitles are displayed for the dialogue sound. The first character is a ally character. (For example, the example shown in FIG. 115 (r2)), the game control means is determined by the determination means for determining the advantageous state (for example, the CPU 103 that executes the process of step S110) and the determination means. Previously, a determination means for determining that the advantageous state is reached (for example, a CPU 103 that executes the process of step S213) and a state control means that can control a special state in which variable display is more likely to be executed than the normal state (for example, step 059AKS025). A plurality of types of information including determination result information that can be specified to be controlled to the advantageous state when the determination means determines that the advantageous state is determined, such as the CPU 103 that executes the processing of the above), to the effect executing means. The state control means includes a transmittable information transmission means (for example, a CPU 103 for transmitting an effect control command), and the state control means displays a special display result different from the specific display result as the variable display result in the normal state. In that case, based on the special display result, the normal state is controlled to the special state (for example, the process of step 059AKS025 is executed), and the determination means controls the state control means to the special state. It is possible to determine that the special state will be reached before (for example, executing the process of step 059AKS001), and the information transmitting means controls the special state when the determination means determines that the special state is to be reached. It is possible to send special information that can be specified to be performed (for example, it is possible to send a command for specifying a display result of "loss (time reduction)"), and the effect executing means receives the determination result information. , The pre-reading effect can be executed based on the determination result information (for example, the process of step S161 can be executed), and when the determination result information is received after receiving the special information, the determination result information Examples thereof include a gaming machine that limits the execution of the look-ahead effect based on the above (for example, if Yes is determined in step 059AKS082, the processes of step 059AKS084 and step S1304 are executed).

With such a configuration, it is possible to make the series of effects to be performed look more suitable. In addition, the player can accurately recognize the ally character in the introduction part (at the start of SP reach). In addition, control can be performed according to the game state when the special display result is displayed, and the game entertainment can be improved.

In other words, in both the first and second notification effects, the epilogue part is introduced by emphasizing the sense of blessing by firmly attaching dialogue subtitles and making it easier to understand what the character is speaking. In the part, there are many changes in the picture, so the first thing to convey with the picture is to use the auxiliary subtitle display so that it does not get in the way, so that it can be a suitable production and the production is executed. The means is controlled to the special state in order to limit the execution of the look-ahead effect based on the determination result information when the determination result information is received after receiving the special information that can be specified to be controlled to the special state. For example, it is known in advance by executing the look-ahead effect that the judgment result information to be judged is the judgment result that the special state ends, and the situation where the game interest is deteriorated by the look-ahead effect. It can be avoided. That is, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can more preferably show a series of effects in the notification effect when installed in the game hall and that does not easily reduce the interest of the game.

Further, as an example of the form of the gaming machine that can make the series of effects to be executed more suitable and avoid the deterioration of the gaming interest, the variable display is performed and the specific display result is displayed as the variable display result. Information from a game control means (for example, CPU 103) that controls the progress of a game and information from the game control means, which is a game machine (for example, pachinko game machine 1) that can sometimes be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player. It is determined that the game control means is provided with an effect execution means (for example, an effect control CPU 120 that executes an effect based on an effect control command) that can execute the effect based on the game control means. Means (for example, CPU 103 that executes the process of step S110), determination means for determining that the advantageous state is reached before the determination of the determination means (for example, CPU 103 that executes the process of step S213), and a normal state. A state control means that can control a special state in which variable display is more likely to be executed (for example, a CPU 103 that executes the process of step 059AKS025) and a determination means that is controlled to the advantageous state when it is determined to be in the advantageous state. The state control means includes an information transmission means (for example, a CPU 103 for transmitting an effect control command) capable of transmitting a plurality of types of information including determination result information capable of specifying that to the effect execution means. When a special display result different from the specific display result is displayed as the variable display result in the normal state, the normal state is controlled to the special state based on the special display result (for example, the process of step 059AKS025 is executed). The determination means can determine that the special state is set before the state control means controls the special state (for example, the process of step 059AKS001 is executed), and the information transmission is performed. The means can transmit special information that can specify that the determination means is controlled to the special state when it is determined that the determination means is in the special state (for example, a command for specifying a display result of "loss (time reduction)" is transmitted. The effect executing means can execute the look-ahead effect based on the determination result information when the determination result information is received (for example, the process of step S161 can be executed). When the determination result information is received after receiving the special information, the execution of the look-ahead effect based on the determination result information is restricted (for example, step). If Yes is determined by 059AKS082, the processing of step 059AKS084 and step S1304 is executed, and the like). Hereinafter, an example of a form example of these gaming machines will be described as another form example.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the rotation operation of the pachinko game machine 1 by the player to the ball striking operation handle. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal map game (when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 but the normal map game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately). , The normal map game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (design per normal symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "per normal symbol". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than a normal symbol (a 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 symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

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

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes "big hit" and the jackpot symbol. If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes "small hit". Further, if a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

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

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

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

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

In the small hit game state, the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the opening mode similar to the big hit game state in some big hit types (the number of times the big winning opening is opened is the same as the number of rounds above, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same. Etc.), the big winning opening is opened. As with the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

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

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

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

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

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

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

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled to the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small hit" (however, "small hit" occurs. If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, it is not necessary that there is no "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", the fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example,") which is a predetermined small hit combination as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5. 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is" small hit "). As an example, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state), and when it becomes "small hit". , A common fixed decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

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

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

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

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type of the big hit game state having the same aspect as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a highly accurate state). By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not know whether the current state is in the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, by executing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high probability state and the low probability state. You may.

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

It includes an output port for transmitting (a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal figure hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal).

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

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

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

A display monitor 29, a display changeover switch 30, a setting key 51, a setting changeover switch 52, and a door opening sensor 90 are connected to the main board 11. The door opening sensor 90 detects the opening of the gaming machine frame 3 including the glass door frame 3a.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operation of the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the gaming control main process is executed by the CPU 103. FIG. 277 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 277, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial setting includes a stack pointer setting, a register setting of a built-in device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), a parallel input / output port, etc.), a setting for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 278. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 278 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to enter the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined error processing on the main side, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, the jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of the jackpot) and the start information (starting) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information such as the number of times of winning and the probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of the probability change state) are output (step S23).

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

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

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

FIG. 279 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 278 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, a process of pre-reading and determining a display result or a fluctuation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After storing the hold information and the number of hold storages, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the judgment result such as the occurrence of the start winning prize, the number of hold storages, the read-ahead judgment, etc. is set on the effect control board 12. Will be. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. 278 being executed after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, and stop display (derive) the confirmed special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. Contains the process of making settings for. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". If the display result is "missing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "missing", the game state is also updated when the time reduction state or the probability change state is controlled and the end of the number of cuts is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

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

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

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

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

The small hit release preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This small hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting the large winning opening to be in the open state in the small hit game state based on the display result being "small hit". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit opening preprocessing ends.

The small hit opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. In this small hit opening process, it is the timing to return the big prize opening from the open state to the closed state based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from the opening state of the big winning opening and the measured elapsed time. It includes processing to determine whether or not it is. When the large winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small hit game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the processing during the small hit opening process ends.

The small hit end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. The small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit game state is executed has elapsed. Here, when the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small hit end process ends.

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

FIG. 280 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table. FIG. 280 (A) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special figure used when the variable special figure is the first special figure, and FIG. 280 (B) shows the second special figure of the variable special figure. The configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used in the case of a figure is shown. The display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101. In the display result determination table, the hit determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 is assigned to the special symbol display result which is the variable display result of the special symbol according to the set value. The random number value MR1 is a random number value for determining a display result, and the value is randomly updated in the range of 0 to 65535. As the display result determination table, a display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure may be used.

In the display result judgment table, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), more judgment values are displayed in the special figure of "big hit" than in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Assigned to the result. As a result, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a high-probability state such as a probabilistic state in which the probabilistic change control is performed, there is a probability that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is determined to be controlled in the jackpot gaming state as compared with the low-probability state such as the normal state or the time-saving state. It gets higher.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, it is determined so that the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is the same regardless of the game state or the set value. A value has been assigned. In the second special figure display result determination table, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the small hit game state as a "small hit" is the probability of being determined to be controlled to the small hit game state regardless of the game state or the set value. Judgment values are assigned so that the values are the same as those in the judgment table. It should be noted that the probability of being determined to control the small hit gaming state with the special figure display result as "small hit" may be different according to the set value. Regardless of the variable special map, the probability determined to control the small hit gaming state with the special map display result as "small hit" may be the same probability.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure and the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit judgment values is irrespective of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit. When the set value is 1, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and while only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set, the set value 2 to the set value 6 are set. In this case, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set to the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure and the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the game state is the probability change state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values is a big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value for judgment. When the set value is 1, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", so that only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set, while the set value 2 to the set value is set. In the case of 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set to the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit judgment values is small for judging the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the hit judgment value. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit determination values is the set value as in the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless of, it is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value for judging the small hit. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33421 of the hit judgment values is small for judging the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the hit judgment value. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state, the range from 32767 to 33421 of the hit determination values is the set value as in the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless of, it is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value for judging the small hit. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

The set value that can be set for the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. The smaller the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more advantageous the player may be. The playability may be changed according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/320 and the probability change state is 65%, which is the game property (so-called probability change loop type). When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 2, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/200, and the gaming ball is provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7 during the jackpot game. While controlling the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game to a probabilistic state based on passing through the switch, the game performance (so-called V) in which the rate at which the gaming ball passes through the predetermined switch during the jackpot game is different according to the fluctuation special map. Probability variation type), and when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3, the jackpot probability is 1/320 and the small hit probability is 1/50, and the game is played during high base (during time reduction control). It may be a game property (so-called 1 type 2 type mixed type) in which the ball is controlled to a big hit gaming state based on passing through a predetermined switch provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3, the game playability is the same, but the jackpot probability and the small hit are higher than when these set values are any of 1 to 3. A setting may be provided in which the number of prize balls that can be obtained during the jackpot game is small while the probability is high (for example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6). If the playability is changed according to the set value, a common switch may be used for different purposes. Specifically, when the set value is 1 to 3, a predetermined switch provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 is used as an effect switch (to execute a predetermined effect each time the game ball passes through a predetermined area. When the set value is 4 to 6, the predetermined switch is used as a game switch (to control the game state to the probability change state or the jackpot game state based on the fact that the game ball has passed the predetermined switch). It may be used as a switch).

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

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 281. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 281 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

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

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

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

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

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

FIG. 282 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 281 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 282, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, setting, and the like for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

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

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

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

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

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command for specifying the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received, if the command specifies the start of the big hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to "6". Update to. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", which is the value corresponding to the small hit medium effect process. In addition, when the reception waiting time for the command has elapsed without receiving the command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "missing". Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the waiting process for hitting the special figure ends.

The small hit medium effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “4”. In this small hit medium effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the set content. .. Further, in the small hit middle effect process, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to the value corresponding to the small hit end effect in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the small hit game state. Update to a certain "5" and end the small hit medium production process.

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

The jackpot effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect process, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to the value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. Update to ", and end the production process during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

(Modified example of basic explanation)

It may be included. For example, one may have a percentage of "0%" and the other a percentage of "100%" or less than "100%".

(Explanation of the feature part related to the setting suggestion effect)
Hereinafter, the feature portion related to the setting suggestion effect in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. In this feature unit, it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect that suggests a set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 at a predetermined ratio while the variable display is being executed.

FIG. 283-1 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S171 of the effect control process process as the variable display start setting process. In the variable display start setting process, the stop symbol determination process is executed (step S201). In the stop symbol determination process, a combination of decorative symbols to be stopped and displayed in the variable display of the decorative symbol, such as the final stop symbol in the variable display of the decorative symbol, is determined. Following the stop symbol determination process, the advance notice effect determination process is executed (step S202). The advance notice effect determination process makes it possible to determine the advance notice effect included in the advantageous suggestion effect.

After the advance notice effect determination process is executed, the effect control pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of prepared patterns (step S203). The effect control pattern may include an effect control pattern when the special figure fluctuates, a notice effect control pattern, and other control patterns for controlling various effect executions. For example, in response to the fluctuation pattern indicated by the fluctuation pattern specification command, one of a plurality of prepared special figure fluctuation effect control patterns is selected and set as a usage pattern. Further, one of a plurality of prepared advance notice effect control patterns may be selected and set as a use pattern in response to the determination result by the advance notice effect determination process in step S202. It should be noted that the effect control pattern when the special figure fluctuates and the advance notice effect control pattern are not limited to those in which separate effect control patterns are set, but one effect control pattern corresponding to the combination of execution settings of each effect is set. There may be.

When the effect control pattern is determined in step S203, for example, the initial effect control process timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 (effect control timer setting unit, etc.) corresponding to the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command. Set the value (step S204). In addition, a setting is made on the screen of the image display device 5 to start the fluctuation of the decorative pattern or the like (step S205). At this time, the display control command specified by the display control data included in the effect control pattern (effect control pattern when the special figure fluctuates) determined in step S203 is transmitted to the VDP of the display control unit 123. The variation of the decorative symbol may be started in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the screen of the image display device 5.

Subsequently, the hold display update setting at the start of variable display is performed (step S206). For example, in the hold display area provided on the screen of the image display device 5, the display part (display part at the left end) corresponding to the hold number "1" is erased (digested), and the other hold numbers "2" to "2" are deleted. The hold display in the display area corresponding to "4" or the like is moved (shifted) one by one to the left. This shifts the hold display. In the active display unit provided on the screen of the image display device 5, the active display corresponding to the erased (digested) hold display may be performed in the hold display area. If the variable display is started immediately based on the occurrence of the first start prize or the second start prize when the number of hold storages is "0", the hold display is not updated and the active display area is displayed. Settings may be made to update the active display in. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", which is a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S207), and then the variable display start setting process is terminated.

FIG. 283-2 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S201 of the variable display start setting process as the stop symbol determination process. In the stop symbol determination process, it is determined whether or not the reach effect of the super reach is executed (step S221). Whether or not the reach effect of the super reach is executed can be determined based on, for example, the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern designation command transmitted from the main board 11.

If the reach effect of the super reach is not executed (step S221; No), the final stop symbol at the time of non-reach or normal reach is determined (step S222), and the stop symbol determination process is terminated. At the time of non-reach, the variable display result becomes "missing". At the time of normal reach, there are cases where the variable display result is "big hit" and cases where the variable display result is "missing". When the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, the fixed decorative symbol of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol. The final stop symbol at the time of non-reach is determined to be a different (mismatched) decorative symbol in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R. At the time of normal reach when the variable display result becomes "missing", the final stop symbol of the reach loss combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol at the time of reach loss. The final stop symbol at the time of reach loss is determined so as to be the same (matching) decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R of the "left" and "right". At the time of normal reach when the variable display result becomes "big hit", the fixed decorative symbol of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol at the time of big hit. The final stop symbol at the time of a big hit is determined to be the same (matching) decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right".

When the reach effect of the super reach is executed (step S221; Yes), the final stop symbol at the time of super reach is determined (step S223). At the time of super reach, there are cases where the variable display result is "big hit" and cases where the variable display result is "missing". At the time of super reach where the variable display result becomes "missing", the fixed decorative symbol of the reach loss combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol at the time of reach loss. When the variable display result is a "big hit", the fixed decorative symbol of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol at the time of the big hit.

At the time of super reach, the same (matching) decorative symbols in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R are displayed regardless of whether the variable display result is "big hit" or "missing". It is stopped and displayed as a fixed decoration pattern. The left and right decorative symbols that make up such a reach loss combination and a jackpot combination are also called reach symbols. The decorative symbol that can be determined as the reach symbol may include a plurality of types of decorative symbols, for example, seven types of decorative symbols corresponding to the numbers 1 to 7. The decorative pattern corresponding to the numbers may be only an effect image showing the numbers, or may be an effect image showing various characters in addition to the numbers. The reach symbol is determined to be one of a plurality of decorative symbols by referring to the reach symbol determination table stored and prepared in advance in the ROM 121 based on the numerical data indicating the random value for determining the reach symbol. You can do it. The numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the reach symbol may be updatable by using one or both of the random counter and the random number circuit 124 provided in the RAM 122.

In the reach symbol determination table, the number of determination values assigned to the decorative symbol to be the reach symbol may be different depending on whether the variable display result is "miss" or "big hit". For example, when the variable display result is "missing", the determination ratio of the decorative pattern corresponding to the number 1 is the highest, and the number 2, the number 3, the number 4, the number 5, the number 6 are the highest. As the result becomes lower, the determination ratio of the decorative design becomes lower, and the determination ratio of the decorative design corresponding to the number 7 becomes the lowest. On the other hand, when the variable display result is "big hit", the determination ratio of the decorative symbol corresponding to the number 1 is the lowest, and the number 2 number, the number 3, the number 4, the number 5, the number 6 As the number becomes, the determination ratio of the decorative design becomes higher, and the determination ratio of the decorative design corresponding to the number 7 becomes the highest. With such a determination ratio setting, when the decorative symbol corresponding to the number 7 is stopped and displayed as a reach symbol, the variable display result becomes "big hit" and the ratio controlled to the big hit gaming state is the highest, 6 As the number of, 5 number, 4 number, 3 number, and 2 number, the variable display result when stopped and displayed as a reach symbol becomes "big hit", and the rate of being controlled to the big hit game state is low. Therefore, when the decorative symbol corresponding to the number 1 is stopped and displayed as the reach symbol, the variable display result becomes "big hit", and the ratio of being controlled to the big hit gaming state is the lowest. In the reach symbol determination table, the number of determination values assigned to the decorative symbols to be the reach symbols may be the same regardless of whether the variable display result is "miss" or "big hit". The number of determination values assigned to each decorative symbol to be a reach symbol may be different, or the number of assigned determination values may be the same regardless of the decorative symbol to be a reach symbol. Depending on the jackpot type, the determination ratio of the decorative symbol to be the reach symbol may be different.

Following step S223, it is determined whether or not the determined reach symbol is a decorative symbol corresponding to the number 7 (step S224). At this time, if the reach symbol is a decorative symbol corresponding to a number other than 7 (step S224; No), the stop symbol determination process is terminated. When the reach symbol is a decorative symbol corresponding to the number 7 (step S224; Yes), it is determined whether or not the setting suggestion effect is executed (step S225). Whether or not the setting suggestion effect is executed is determined by referring to the setting suggestion effect execution decision table stored in advance in the ROM 121 based on the numerical data indicating the random value for determining the setting suggestion effect execution. You can do it. The numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the setting suggestion effect execution may be updatable by using one or both of the random counter and the random number circuit 124 provided in the RAM 122. The presence or absence of the setting suggestion effect is determined to be either "no effect" in which the setting suggestion effect is not executed or "with effect" in which the setting suggestion effect is executed.

Based on the determination result of step S225, it is determined whether or not it is determined to "have an effect" to execute the setting suggestion effect (step S226). When it is determined that "no effect" is not executed (step S226; No), the stop symbol determination process is terminated. When it is determined that "with effect" (step S226; Yes), the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is specified (step S227). The effect control CPU 120 may receive a set value notification command transmitted from the main board 11 side when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, and store the notified set value in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. As a result, in step S227, the set value stored in the RAM 122 may be specified.

Following step S227, the setting suggestion pattern is determined (step S228), and then the stop symbol determination process is terminated. The setting suggestion pattern can be selected from a plurality of setting suggestion patterns by referring to a setting suggestion pattern determination table stored in advance in ROM 121 based on numerical data indicating a random value for determining the setting suggestion pattern. It should be decided. The numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the setting suggestion pattern may be updatable by using one or both of the random counter and the random number circuit 124 provided in the RAM 122.

FIG. 283-3 shows a setting example relating to the setting suggestion effect execution decision table. For example, the ROM 121 stores in advance the table data constituting the determination table TA01 shown in FIG. 283-3 as the setting suggestion effect execution determination table. In step S225 of the stop symbol determination process, the presence / absence of the setting suggestion effect is determined by referring to the determination table TA01 or the like. In the determination table TA01, the number of determination values assigned to the presence / absence of the setting suggestion effect differs depending on whether the variable display result is “miss” or “big hit”. For example, when the variable display result is "big hit", the determination rate of "with effect" for executing the setting suggestion effect is higher than when the variable display result is "miss". In such a setting of the determination ratio, when the setting suggestion effect is executed, the variable display result becomes a "big hit" and the ratio controlled to the big hit gaming state is higher than when the setting suggestion effect is not executed. In the setting suggestion effect execution decision table, the number of determination values assigned to the presence / absence of the setting suggestion effect may be the same regardless of whether the variable display result is “miss” or “big hit”. ..

FIG. 283-4 (A) shows a configuration example of the setting suggestion pattern. In this embodiment, four patterns RE-0 to RE3 are provided as a plurality of setting suggestion patterns. The suggestion content of these setting suggestion patterns differs depending on whether or not the symbol display color is changed and the display color when the symbol display color is changed. The symbol display color is a display color of a decorative symbol that is stopped and displayed as a reach symbol, and can be changed to a suggestion display color including copper, silver, and gold in addition to red, which is a normal display color. The pattern RE-0 does not change the symbol display color, suggesting that the expectation level, which is an advantageous setting value for the player, is low. The pattern RE-1 changes the symbol display color to copper color, and suggests confirmation that the set value is 2 or more. The pattern RE-2 changes the symbol display color to silver, suggesting that there is a high degree of expectation, which is an advantageous setting value for the player. The pattern RE-3 changes the symbol display color to gold, and suggests confirmation that it is 6, which is the highest set value. As described above, in the setting suggestion effect using the reach symbol, it is possible to suggest the setting value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to whether or not the symbol display color has changed and the symbol display color after the change.

FIG. 283-4 (B) shows a setting example relating to the setting suggestion pattern determination table. For example, the ROM 121 stores in advance the table data constituting the determination table TA11 shown in FIG. 283-4 (B) as the setting suggestion pattern determination table. In step S228 of the stop symbol determination process, the setting suggestion pattern is determined by referring to the determination table TA11 or the like. In the determination table TA11, there is a portion where the number of determination values assigned to the determination result of the setting suggestion pattern differs depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

When the setting suggestion effect using the reach symbol is executed, the reach symbol becomes a decorative symbol corresponding to the number 7, so that the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is high. When the setting suggestion effect is executed in the pattern RE-0, the expectation level which is an advantageous setting value for the player is low, and when the setting suggestion effect is executed in the pattern RE-1, the set value is 2 or more. It is confirmed that there is. Further, when the setting suggestion effect is executed by the pattern RE-2, the expectation is high, which is an advantageous setting value for the player, and when the setting suggestion effect is executed by the pattern RE-3, the highest setting value is obtained. It is confirmed that it is 6. As described above, when the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the reach symbol includes a symbol display mode that suggests control of the jackpot gaming state such as a decorative symbol corresponding to a number other than 7, and a symbol display mode of 7. It includes a symbol display mode that suggests control of a jackpot gaming state such as a decorative symbol corresponding to a number and suggests a set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the reach symbol is a decorative symbol corresponding to the number 7, the reach symbol is displayed in the normal display color to give a suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot game state, and then the symbol display color is changed. The suggestions regarding the control of the jackpot game state will be continued, and the suggestions regarding the set values will be made.

The setting suggestion effect can be executed so that the effect mode differs depending on 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 setting suggestion pattern is not determined in the pattern RE-1, so that the symbol display color is not changed to the copper color. In this way, as a symbol display mode when the reach symbol is a decorative symbol corresponding to the number 7 depending on whether or not the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is other than 1, the symbol display color. Is different whether or not is changed to copper color. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is other than 6, the setting suggestion pattern is not determined in the pattern RE-3, so that the symbol display color is not changed to gold. In this way, the symbol display color is gold as a symbol display mode when the reach symbol is a decorative symbol corresponding to the number 7 depending on whether or not the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine is 6. Whether or not it is changed to is different.

The setting suggestion effect was stopped and displayed as a reach symbol in place of the one that changes the symbol display color, which is the display color of the decorative symbol that was stopped and displayed as the reach symbol, or in addition to the one that changes the symbol display color. Any aspect of the reach aspect, such as the shape or pattern of the decorative pattern, may be changed. Alternatively, display of a background image, an outer frame image, or any other effect image, output of sound by speakers 8L, 8R, lighting of decorative light emitters such as game effect lamps 9 and decorative LEDs, operation of movable members for effect, and the like. It may change the production mode by any production device such as a combination of a part or all. For the setting suggestion effect and other arbitrary effects in the pachinko gaming machine 1, arbitrary data related to the effect control, arbitrary data not related to the effect control, or data obtained by combining these are predetermined for performing the effect. It may be feasible if it satisfies one or more conditional expressions. The effect of changing the pattern display color is also called the change effect.

The plurality of setting suggestion patterns may include a pattern that can be determined only when the jackpot gaming state is controlled, and a pattern that can be determined even when the jackpot gaming state is not controlled. For example, pattern RE-0 and pattern RE-1 can be determined at a predetermined ratio even when the variable display result is "missing", whereas pattern RE-2 and pattern RE-3 are variable display. It may be possible to determine at a predetermined ratio only when the result is "big hit", and it may not be possible to determine when the variable display result is "missing". In this case, the pattern RE-2 is determined at a common ratio regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, whereas the pattern RE-3 is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. It may be determined at different ratios depending on the set value.

FIG. 283-5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S172 of the effect control process process as the effect process during variable display. In the effect processing during variable display, it is determined whether or not the special figure variation time, which is the variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern, has elapsed, based on, for example, the timer value of the effect control process timer (step S241). When it is determined that the variable display time has not elapsed (step S241; No), control for executing various effects is performed as the variable display progresses. The effect control CPU 120 creates various commands based on the control data read from the effect control pattern determined in step S203 of the variable display start setting process. This command is transmitted to the display control unit 123, the voice control board 13, the lamp control board 14, and the like. As a result, a predetermined effect image is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5, a predetermined sound effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED are turned on, off, and blinked. It suffices that various effects can be performed by a predetermined effect device by operating a movable member for effect such as a movable body 32, or by combining a part or all of them.

In the variable display during effect processing, it is determined whether or not the advance notice effect period is in effect (step S242). In the case of the advance notice effect period (step S242; Yes), the control for executing the advance notice effect is performed (step S243). When it is not the advance notice effect period (step S242; No), or after the control of step S243 is performed, it is determined whether or not it is the reach effect period (step S244). In the case of the reach effect period (step S244; Yes), the control to execute the reach effect is performed (step S245). When the decorative symbol to be the reach symbol is stopped and displayed by the control of step S245 and then the reach effect is executed after the symbol display color is changed, the control of the jackpot gaming state is suggested and the pachinko gaming machine 1 is used. It is possible to make suggestions regarding the set value.

When it is not the reach effect period (step S244; No), or after the control of step S245 is performed, it is determined whether or not it is the change effect period (step S246). The change effect period may be predetermined as the execution period of the effect of changing the symbol display color when the setting suggestion effect using the reach symbol is executed. In the case of the change effect period (step S246; Yes), the control to execute the change effect is performed (step S247). When it is not the change effect period (step S246; No), after the control of step S247 is performed, for example, the decorative pattern is variable based on the setting in the effect control pattern determined corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. After performing control for executing the effect during the variable display including the display operation (step S248), the effect process during the variable display is terminated.

The change effect period may be set to a different time length depending on the effect mode of the change effect. For example, in the case of pattern RE-0, the change effect period is set to the shortest first period, and in the case of pattern RE-1, the change effect period is set to the second period longer than the first period, and the pattern RE- In the case of 2, the change effect period may be set to a third period longer than the second period, and in the case of pattern RE-3, the change effect period may be set to the longest fourth period. Generally, when a player notifies an advantageous effect (advantageous effect), the player takes an image or a video of the effect on a mobile terminal owned by the player and shoots it on an SNS (Social). There is a tendency to post on websites that require membership registration such as Networking Service) and Internet video supply sites. However, if the execution period of such an advantageous effect is short, there arises a problem that an appropriate shooting time cannot be secured. On the other hand, for productions that are often performed even in unfavorable cases (unfavorable productions), since the motivation for shooting is not aroused, if the execution period of the disadvantageous productions is long, the player will be uncomfortable. There is a problem. Therefore, the execution period of the advantageous effect is lengthened to secure the shooting time, and the execution period of the unfavorable effect is shorter than that of the advantageous effect to reduce the discomfort. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the effect when the effect advantageous to the player is executed, and it is possible to secure the shooting time. Further, by securing the shooting time, the shot images and moving images can be published by the player on the Internet, and the public interest in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be increased. In addition, in many cases, by disclosing the images taken by which pachinko machine 1 in which game field, the game field was advertised by the players from the game field side. become. As described above, by securing the shooting time when the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is suggested, a synergistic effect is brought about not only to the player but also to the game hall side.

When the variable display time has elapsed (step S241; Yes), it is determined whether or not the symbol determination command transmitted from the main board 11 has been received (step S249). If the symbol confirmation command is not received (step S249; No), the variable display effect processing is terminated and the process waits. If the predetermined time elapses without receiving the symbol confirmation command after the variable display time has elapsed, the predetermined error processing is executed in response to the failure to normally receive the symbol confirmation command. You may do so. When a symbol confirmation command is received (step S249; Yes), control is performed to derive and display the final stop symbol (confirmed decorative symbol) that is the display result in the variable display of the decorative symbol (step S250). Subsequently, a predetermined fixed time is set as the waiting time for receiving the jackpot start designation command (step S251). Further, after updating the value of the effect process flag to "3" which is a value corresponding to the special figure hit wait process (step S252), the variable display effect process is terminated.

FIG. 283-6 shows an execution example of the setting suggestion effect. FIG. 283-6 (A) shows an effect execution example HD101 in which the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is the reach mode and the reach is established. When the decorative symbols corresponding to the numbers 7 are stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R of the "left" and "right", the reach is established and the reach effect of the normal reach is executed. FIG. 283-6 (B) shows an effect execution example HD102, which is a reach development in which the reach effect of normal reach shifts to the reach effect of super reach. On the display screen of the image display device 5, the decorative pattern is reduced and displayed, and the effect image in the reach effect of the super reach is displayed. FIG. 283-6 (C) shows an effect execution example HD103 in which a change effect that is a setting suggestion effect is executed. The effect display corresponding to the change effect is displayed by superimposing it on the reach symbol that is stopped and displayed. In addition, by displaying an effect image for notifying a message such as "change the symbol display color !!", it is suggested to change the symbol display color.

FIG. 283-6 (D1) shows an effect execution example HD111 in which the symbol display color does not change due to the pattern RE-0. FIG. 283-6 (D2) shows an effect execution example HD112 in which the pattern display color is changed to copper color by the pattern RE-1. FIG. 283-6 (D3) shows an effect execution example HD113 in which the pattern display color changes to silver due to the pattern RE-2. FIG. 283-6 (D4) shows an effect execution example HD113 in which the pattern display color is changed to gold by the pattern RE-3. In the effect execution example HD111, the display color of the reach pattern does not change due to the pattern RE-0, and the display color remains red, which is the normal display color. In this way, the failure effect (gase effect) in which the symbol display color is not changed is executed, suggesting that the expectation level, which is an advantageous setting value for the player, is low. In the effect execution example HD112, the display color of the reach pattern is changed to copper color by the pattern RE-1, which suggests that the set value is 2 or more. In the effect execution example HD113, the display color of the reach pattern is changed to silver by the pattern RE-2, which suggests that the expectation is high, which is an advantageous setting value for the player. In the effect execution example HD114, the display color of the reach pattern is changed to gold by the pattern RE-3, which suggests the determination of 6 which is the highest set value.

In addition to the change effect that can change the display color of the reach pattern, the setting suggestion effect suggests the jackpot expectation by any effect such as a pseudo-continuous effect or a look-ahead notice effect, and the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1. May be able to make suggestions about. During the execution of the variable display, it may be possible to make a suggestion regarding the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 after making a suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot gaming state. In the case of executing an arbitrary effect, after making a suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot gaming state, the suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot gaming state is continuously performed, and the suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot gaming state is continuously performed and pachinko. It may include the case of making a suggestion regarding the set value of the gaming machine 1. When performing an arbitrary effect, after making a suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot gaming state, the suggestion ends, and the suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot gaming state is continuously performed, and the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is related. It may include the case of making a suggestion.

The suggestion regarding the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is not limited to suggesting the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and may suggest, for example, whether or not the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been changed. .. For example, the plurality of setting suggestion patterns may include patterns having different determination ratios depending on whether or not the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been changed. When the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed, the suggestion is made by the effect mode of the pattern determined at a high rate so that the player can recognize that the set value has been changed. Can be diversified to improve the interest in pachinko.

While the variable display is being executed, the suggestion regarding the control of the jackpot gaming state may be given, but the suggestion regarding the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 may not be given. After that, when the display result of the variable display becomes "big hit", the pachinko gaming machine is accompanied by the execution of the big hit start effect (fanfare effect) and the big hit medium effect (effect corresponding to the first round and the second round). You may make a suggestion about the setting value of 1. In some cases, the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be suggested without suggesting the control of the jackpot gaming state.

Instead of some or all of the suggestions for controlling the jackpot gaming state, or with some or all of the suggestions for controlling the jackpot gaming state, make suggestions for controlling a state that is different from the jackpot gaming state for the player. It may be a thing. For example, it may make a suggestion regarding a probabilistic state controlled after the end of the jackpot gaming state. In addition, as an advantageous state, a state in which an arbitrary game value advantageous to the player is given may be suggested according to whether or not it is controlled.

(Explanation of feature 059AK)
Next, the gaming machine in the feature unit 059AK of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 284-1 to 284-35. The pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 059AK of the present embodiment is not limited to the jackpot gaming state, and the time saving control is performed (the time saving state is set) even when the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result. As for the display result of the special figure game, the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed in both the normal state and the time saving state, but in the time saving state, even if the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed, the time saving control is not newly performed. On the other hand, as for the decorative symbol, different symbols are stopped and displayed in the normal state and the time saving state. Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 059AK having such characteristics will be described. The same parts as those described in the above basic explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 284-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 059AK of the present embodiment, and shows the layout of the main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly classified into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a game board surface and a gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device into the game area.

The "variable display" of the special symbol is, for example, to display a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. When the special symbol or the normal symbol changes, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative symbol, a plurality of types of decorative symbols are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. It should be noted that the fluctuation includes a mode in which a certain symbol is blinking and displayed. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). In addition, the variable display may be expressed as a variable display or a variable display. In addition, the "variable display" of the special symbol includes one in which a plurality of LEDs are sequentially turned on or blinked, and as a display result, a predetermined LED lighting combination may be displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display). included.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that is changed between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81. The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, so that the tip of the movable wing pieces is in a vertical position. Is close to the winning ball device 6A and is in a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, the variable-sweep wing device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening because the movable wing piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is on (second start). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the second special figure game may be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any as long as it changes between the closed state and the open state, and is not limited to the one provided with the electric tulip type accessory. Further, in the time saving state, the control (high opening control, high base control) that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second starting winning opening is executed, and the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved. Then, in the time-saving state, if a so-called right-handed hit is performed to launch the game ball into the game area on the right side of the player so that the game ball is won in the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B. good.

A predetermined ball receiving member always keeps a constant open state at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 274, three places on the lower left of the game area and one place on the upper side of the variable winning ball device 6B). A general winning opening 10 is provided. In this case, when entering any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82, and forms a large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. 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. In the big hit game state, so-called right-handed hitting may be performed to launch the game ball into the game area on the right side so that the game ball is won in the big prize opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7.

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

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

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

A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 284-1, the lower left of the game area). As an example, the ordinary symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment LEDs and the like, and performs variable display of ordinary symbols as a plurality of types of ordinary identification information different from special symbols. Ordinary symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The normal symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of a normal pattern is also called a normal figure game.

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

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

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

FIG. 284-2 is a flowchart showing an example of the start winning determination process executed in step S101 of FIG. 279. When the start winning determination process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A is on (). Step S1201). When it is determined that the first start port switch 22A is on (step S2101; Yes) because it is determined that the first start port switch 22A is on in the switch processing, the CPU 103 performs the first special drawing. It is determined whether or not the first special figure reserved storage number, which is the reserved storage number of the special figure game used, is a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”) (step S1202). At this time, the CPU 103 is a first stored value of a first special figure reserved storage number counter (counter for counting the first special figure reserved storage number) provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 (game control counter setting unit or the like). It suffices if the first special figure holding storage number can be specified by reading the special figure holding storage number count value. When it is determined in step S1202 that the number of reserved first special figure is not the upper limit value (step S1202; No), the CPU 103 stores the start port buffer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (game control buffer setting unit, etc.). The starting port buffer value, which is a value, is set to "1" (step S1203).

When it is determined in step S1201 that the first start port switch 22A is off (step S1201; No), or when it is determined in step S1202 that the first special figure reserved storage number has reached the upper limit value (step S1202; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the second start opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B is on (step S1204). When it is determined that the second start port switch 22B is on (step S1204; Yes) because it is determined that the second start port switch 22B is on in the switch processing, the CPU 103 refers to the second special figure. It is determined whether or not the second special figure reserved storage number, which is the reserved storage number of the special figure game used, is a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”) (step S1205). At this time, the CPU 103 is a second stored value of a second special figure reserved storage number counter (counter for counting the second special figure reserved storage number) provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 (game control counter setting unit or the like). It suffices if the second special figure holding storage number can be specified by reading the special figure holding storage number count value. When it is determined in step S1205 that the second special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value (step S1205; No), the CPU 103 sets the start port buffer value to "2" (step S1206). When it is determined that the second start port switch 22B is not on (step S1204; No) or when it is determined that the second special figure reserved storage number is the upper limit value (step S1205; Yes), the CPU 103 determines. The start winning judgment process is terminated.

After executing either the process of step S1203 or S1206, the CPU 103 updates so as to add 1 to the special figure reserved storage count value according to the start port buffer value (step S207). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the 1st special figure reserved storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the 2nd special figure reserved storage count value is added. Add 1 In this way, the 1st special figure reserved memory count value is incremented by 1 when the game ball enters the 1st start winning opening and the 1st start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the 1st special figure is satisfied. Updated to (increment). In addition, the second special figure reserved memory count value is incremented by 1 when the game ball 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 (increment). At this time, the total hold storage count value, which is the storage value of the total hold storage counter provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (game control counter setting unit, etc.), is updated to be added by 1 (step S1208).

After executing the process of step S1208, the CPU 103 extracts a predetermined game random number corresponding to the occurrence of the start winning prize (step S1209). As an example, in the process of step S1209, among the numerical data updated by the random number counter or the like provided in the predetermined area (game control counter setting unit or the like) of the random number circuit 104 or the RAM 102, the random number for determining the special figure display result is determined. Numerical data indicating the numerical value MR1, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted. Numerical data indicating each random value extracted in this way is stored as hold data by being set at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step S1210). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the hold data is set in the first special figure hold storage unit. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the hold data is set in the second special figure hold storage unit. At this time, when the hold data is set in the first special figure hold storage unit, the CPU 103 can control the first hold display 25A to specify the number of the first special figure hold storage added by one. The display may be performed by the first hold display 25A (for example, the number of LED lights may be increased by one). When the hold data is set in the second special figure hold storage unit, the CPU 103 controls the second hold display 25B to display a display capable of specifying the added second special figure hold storage number. The second hold display 25B may be used (for example, the number of LEDs lit is increased by one).

The first special figure holding storage unit is a special figure game (first special figure game) in which the game ball enters the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A and the first starting prize is generated, but the game has not been started yet. The reserved data of the special figure game) using the first special figure in the symbol display device 4A is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the holding number with the first starting winning opening, and is based on the establishment of the first starting condition by the entry of the game ball. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are stored as pending data. Is stored until a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4") is reached. In this way, the hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit indicates that the execution (variable display) of the special figure game using the first special figure is held, and the variable display result in this special figure game. Hold that makes it possible to determine whether or not it is determined to control the jackpot game state based on (special figure display result), and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is a specific mode (for example, reach effect). It becomes memory information.

It should be noted that the hold number of the first special figure hold storage unit and the display position of the hold display symbol (controlled by the effect control board 12 side) basically correspond to each other. Therefore, when the hold data is stored in the first special figure hold storage unit, the hold display symbol is displayed at the display position corresponding to the hold number associated with the hold data. For example, when the hold data is newly stored in association with the hold number "1", the hold display symbol is displayed at the first display position on the leftmost side of the first hold display unit 5HL. For example, when the hold data is newly stored in association with the hold number "2", the hold display symbol is displayed at the second display position located on the right side of the first display position of the first hold display unit 5HL. do.

In the second special figure holding storage unit, the game ball enters the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, and the second starting winning is generated, but the special drawing game (second) that has not been started yet. The reserved data of the special figure game) using the second special figure in the special symbol display device 4B is stored. As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the holding number with the second starting winning opening, and based on the establishment of the second starting condition by the entry of the game ball. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are set as pending data, and the number thereof is Storage is performed until a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4") is reached. In this way, the hold data stored in the second special figure hold storage unit indicates that the execution (variable display) of the special figure game using the second special figure is held, and the variable display result in this special figure game. Hold that makes it possible to determine whether or not it is determined to control the jackpot game state based on (special figure display result), and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is a specific mode (for example, reach effect). It becomes memory information.

It should be noted that the hold number of the second special figure hold storage unit and the display position of the hold display symbol (controlled by the effect control board 12 side) basically correspond to each other. Therefore, when the hold data is stored in the second special figure hold storage unit, the hold display symbol is displayed at the display position corresponding to the hold number associated with the hold data. For example, when the hold data is newly stored in association with the hold number "1", the hold display symbol is displayed at the first display position on the leftmost side of the second hold display unit 5HR. For example, when the hold data is newly stored in association with the hold number "2", the hold display symbol is displayed at the second display position located on the right side of the first display position of the second hold display unit 5HR. do.

After executing the process of step S1210, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting the start opening winning designation command prepared in advance to the effect control board 12 (step S1211). After that, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting the hold storage number notification command prepared in advance to the effect control board 12 (step S1212).

Subsequently, the CPU 103 executes a winning random number value determination process (step S1213). As described above, the winning random value determination process is a process for determining the starting winning, and the random value is based on the random numbers MR1 and MR3 among the random values MR1 to MR3 extracted in step S1209. This is a process for determining whether or not the variable display result of the variable display of the execution target is “big hit” or “small hit” and the fluctuation pattern of the variable display (see FIG. 283-5). After that, the CPU 103 determines whether the start port buffer value is "1" or "2" (step S1214). At this time, if it is determined that the start port buffer value is "2" (step S1214; "2"), the CPU 103 clears the start port buffer and initializes the stored value to "0" (step S1214; "2"). Step S1215), the start winning determination process is completed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start port buffer value is "1" (step S1214; "1"), the CPU 103 clears the start port buffer and initializes the stored value to "0". (Step S1216), the process proceeds to step S1204. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B detect a valid start prize for the game ball at the same time, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be surely completed.

FIG. 284-3 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S1213 of FIG. 284-2 as the winning random number value determination process. In the present embodiment, when the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started, the special symbol display result (variable display result of the special symbol) is set as "big hit" or "small hit" by the special symbol normal processing, and the big hit game. A decision is made as to whether or not to control the state or the small hit game state. Further, in the variation pattern setting process, the variation pattern corresponding to the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is determined. On the other hand, apart from these determinations, in the winning random number value determination process, the game ball is extracted at the starting winning timing detected at the starting winning opening (the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening). Judgment as to whether or not the variable display result of the variable display of the execution target of the randomized value (random value extracted in the process of step S1209) is "big hit" or "small hit", and variable display of the decorative symbol. It determines which fluctuation pattern will be (so-called "look-ahead"). As a result, the special symbol display result is "big hit" before the variable display of the special symbol or decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the start winning opening is started (before the start condition of the special symbol game is satisfied). It is pre-read that it will be a "small hit" and that the variable display mode of the decorative pattern will be the predetermined display mode, and based on this pre-reading result, the effect control board 12 will hold the display by the effect control CPU 120 or the like. The display mode and the like can be determined.

In the winning random number value determination process shown in FIG. 284-3, the CPU 103 first, for example, has a time saving flag (a flag that is turned on when the time saving state is set) provided in a predetermined area (game control flag setting unit or the like) of the RAM 102. ) And the state of the probabilistic flag (the flag that is turned on when the probabilistic change state is reached) to specify the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (step S351). The CPU 103 determines whether or not the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the jackpot gaming state by confirming the value of the special figure process flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (game control flag control unit, etc.). To identify. For example, when the value of the special figure process flag is "4" to "7", it may be specified that the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the jackpot gaming state.

Following the process of step S351, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the specified gaming state is in the jackpot gaming state (step S352). When it is determined that the jackpot is not in progress (step S352; No), the CPU 103 further determines whether or not the high base is in the high open control accompanying the time reduction control in the probability change state or the time reduction state (step S353). ). When it is determined that the base is high (step S353; Yes), or when it is determined that the jackpot is being achieved in the process of step S352 (step S352; Yes), the CPU 103 has a start port buffer value of "2". It is determined whether or not there is (step S354). When it is determined that the start port buffer value is not "2" (step S354; No), the CPU 103 makes a setting for limiting the determination at the time of winning (step S356).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the start port buffer value is "2" (step S354; Yes), or when it is determined that the high base is not in the process of step S353 (step S353; No), the CPU 103 is the first. From the 1 special figure display result determination table or the 2nd special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is determined according to the starting port buffer value (“1” or “2”) and the current gaming state. A table for determining the figure display result is selected (step S355).

Following the process of step S355, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the jackpot determination range (step S357). The CPU 103, for example, compares each determined value included in the jackpot determination range with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted by the process of step S1209 shown in FIG. 284-2 one by one. It may be determined whether or not there is a determined value that matches the random number value MR1. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the determination value included in the jackpot determination range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and the minimum value or maximum value of the jackpot determination range. By comparing, it may be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range. At this time, if it is determined that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range, it is determined that the variable display result based on the reserved data including the random number value MR1 is determined as "big hit" (big hit start determination). can.

In the process of step S357, for example, the CPU 103 may read the random number value MR1 stored in the special figure reservation storage unit in step S1210, and perform the above determination using the read random number value MR1. Further, the CPU 103 holds the random number value MR1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 (an area other than the special figure reservation storage unit), a storage area of the CPU 103, etc. separately from the step S1210, and makes the above determination based on the held random number values. May be done. This also applies to the random number value MR3 described later. As described above, the random number value used in the winning random number value determination process does not have to be the random number value stored in the special figure holding storage unit.

When it is determined in the process of step S357 that it is within the jackpot determination range (step S357; Yes), the CPU 103 determines the jackpot type based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type (step S358). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the variable special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the jackpot type determination table data from the jackpot type determination table. The CPU 103 determines which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data.

Following the process of step S358, the CPU 103 selects a jackpot variation pattern determination table (see FIG. 284-11), which will be described later, prepared in advance by storing it in a predetermined area of the ROM 101, and sets it in the table to be used (step). S359). The jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table is a table for determining a variable display fluctuation pattern in which the variable display result becomes a “big hit”, and a determination value to be compared with the random number value MR3 is assigned to each fluctuation pattern.

When it is determined in the process of step S357 that it is not within the big hit determination range (step S357; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 is within the predetermined small hit determination range (step). S360). The CPU 103 executes the same processing as in the case of the big hit determination range for the determination value assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit" in the special figure display result determination table selected by the process of step S305. , It suffices if it can be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the range of the small hit determination range.

When it is determined that the small hit is within the small hit determination range (step S360; Yes), the small hit fluctuation pattern determination table prepared by storing in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance (see FIG. 284-11 (B)). Is selected and set in the usage table (step S362). The small hit fluctuation pattern determination table is a table for determining the variable display fluctuation pattern in which the variable display result becomes "small hit", and a determination value to be compared with the random number value MR3 is assigned to each fluctuation pattern. ..

On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not within the range of the small hit determination range (step S360; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 is within the predetermined time saving determination range (step). 059AKS001). The CPU 103 executes the same processing as in the case of the jackpot determination range for the determination value assigned to the special figure display result of "loss (time reduction)" in the special figure display result determination table selected by the process of step S355. Therefore, it suffices if it can be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the time saving determination range. Although the special figure display result of "loss (time reduction)" is "loss", it is a variable display result in which the time reduction symbol is stopped and displayed, and the time reduction control is performed from the variable display performed after the stop display is performed. show.

When it is determined that the time saving is within the range of the time saving determination range (step 059AKS001; Yes), the CPU 103 determines the time saving type based on the random number value MR2 (step 059AKS002). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the variable special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the time saving type determination table data from the time saving type determination table shown in FIG. 284-7. The CPU 103 determines which of the plurality of types the time saving type is determined by referring to the selected time saving type determination table data.

Following the process of step 059AKS002, the CPU 103 prepares a table for determining the loss variation pattern at the time of turning on the time saving start flag, which will be described later, prepared in advance by storing in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 (see FIGS. 284-12 (A) and (D)). Is selected and set in the usage table (step 059AKS002A). The time reduction start flag on time loss fluctuation pattern determination table is a table for determining the variation pattern of the variable display in which the time reduction symbol is stopped and displayed, although the variable display result is "loss", and the random value MR3 is used for each fluctuation pattern. The decision value to be compared with is assigned. In step 059AKS002A, one of the time saving start flag on time loss fluctuation pattern determination table in FIG. 284-12 (A) and the time reduction start flag on time loss fluctuation pattern determination table in FIG. 284-12 (D) is selected according to the time reduction type. do it.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the time is not within the time saving determination range (step 059AKS001; No), the time saving start flag off time loss fluctuation pattern determination table prepared by storing in a predetermined area of ROM 101 in advance (FIG. 284-12 (FIG. 284-12). B) Refer to) and set it in the usage table (step 059AKS002B).

After executing any of step S309, step S312, step 059AKS002A, and step 059AKS002B, the CPU 103 is set in the usage table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern extracted in step S1209. Refer to any of the big hit fluctuation pattern determination table, small hit fluctuation pattern determination table, loss fluctuation pattern determination table when the time reduction start flag is on, and loss fluctuation pattern determination table when the time reduction start flag is off, and make a determination value that matches the random number value MR3. The assigned fluctuation pattern is determined (step S363). The CPU 103 determines the variation pattern by, for example, determining the presence or absence of a determination value that matches the random number value MR3 by comparing each determination value assigned to each variation pattern with the random number value MR3 one by one. Alternatively, the CPU 103 sets a numerical value indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the determined value assigned to each fluctuation pattern, and the CPU 103 determines the random value MR3 and the minimum value of the determined value. Or the fluctuation pattern may be determined by comparing with the maximum value.

After executing any of the processes of steps S356 and S363, the CPU 103 sets the transmission setting of the start winning command according to the determination result of step S358, step 059AKS002, and step S363 (step S364). The numerical judgment process is terminated. The start winning command is composed of a starting opening winning designation command, a special figure hold storage number designation command, a symbol judgment result designation command, and a variation pattern judgment result designation command. When the starting port buffer value is "1", the first starting opening winning command, the first special figure hold storage number specification command, the symbol determination result specification command, and the variation pattern determination result specification are used as start winning commands. Set the command and transmission settings. When the starting port buffer value is "2", the second starting opening winning command, the second special figure hold storage number specification command, the symbol determination result specification command, and the variation pattern determination result specification are used as start winning commands. Set the command and transmission settings. The command set for transmission is transmitted in the command control process.

The 1st special figure hold storage number specification command and the 2nd special figure hold storage number specification command to be set for transmission are commands for specifying the current 1st special figure hold storage number and 2nd special figure hold storage number (to the storage number). The command including the corresponding EXT data) may be specified, and the designated special figure holding storage number may be specified by the count value of the first special figure holding storage number counter or the second special figure holding storage number counter. When the determination result of step S357 is within the jackpot determination range (step S357; Yes), the symbol specification command to be transmitted is a command for specifying that the determination result of the variable display result is "big hit" ("big hit"). A command (command including the corresponding EXT data), and when the determination result in step S357 is within the small hit determination range (step S360; Yes), a command for specifying that the determination result of the variable display result is “small hit” (“small hit”). A command including EXT data corresponding to "small hit"), and when the judgment result of step 059AKS001 is within the time saving determination range (step 059AKS001; Yes), the judgment result of the variable display result is "missing (time saving)". When the command is specified (a command including EXT data corresponding to "missing (time saving)") and the judgment result of step 059AKS001 is not within the time saving determination range (step S360; No), the judgment result of the variable display result is "missing". It is a command to specify that there is (a command including EXT data corresponding to "missing"), and when the determination result in step S354 is the start opening buffer value = 1 (step S354; No), the determination at the start winning is performed. It may be a command that specifies that it is "no judgment" (a command that includes EXT data corresponding to "no judgment"). The variation pattern determination result specification command to be transmitted is a command for specifying a variation pattern that is the determination result determined in step S363 (a command including EXT data corresponding to the variation pattern that is the determination result), and the determination result in step S354 is When the start port buffer value = 1 (step S354; No), a command (a command including EXT data corresponding to "no judgment") that specifies that the judgment at the time of starting winning is not performed is "no judgment". do it.

In the winning random number value determination process, as described above, regarding the variable display corresponding to the random number values MR1 to 3 extracted in step S1209 this time, the variable display result of the variable display (special figure game) is "big hit" or "small". Whether or not there is a "hit" or "loss (time reduction)" and the fluctuation pattern of the variable display (see FIG. 284-10) are determined, and so-called look-ahead is performed. In this process, the determination is made based on the current gaming state, and the determination is not made based on the gaming state when the variable display is actually executed. Therefore, the determination is not always accurate, but to some extent. Variable display results and fluctuation patterns can be predicted with accuracy. Further, in the winning random number value determination process, the start is started by the process of step S354 based on the case where it is determined that the big hit is being made in the process of step S352 or the time reduction control is being performed in the process of step S353. It is determined whether or not the mouth buffer value is "2". At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" and not "2", the process proceeds to step S364 without executing the process such as step S355, and the determination at the time of starting winning is not performed. In this way, when the high opening control accompanying the time saving control is performed or when the big hit game state is performed, each of the above is based on the occurrence of the start prize (first start prize) due to the game ball entering the first start prize opening. Restrict so that the judgment is not made. As a result, when the special figure game using the second special figure is executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure, the first start prize is won when the time reduction control is in progress or the jackpot game state is in effect. It is possible to ensure the soundness of the game by limiting the pre-reading based on the above.

FIG. 284-4 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S110 of FIG. 279 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 284-4, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special figure reserved storage number is “0” (step S1231). The second special figure hold storage number is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step S1231, the second reserved storage number count value stored in the RAM 102 may be read out, and it may be determined whether or not the read value is “0”.

When the second special figure hold storage number is other than "0" in step S1231 (step S1231; No), the hold stored in the second special figure hold storage unit 151B corresponding to the hold number "1". As the data, numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type are read out (step S1232). The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step S1232, for example, by subtracting 1 from the second reserved storage number count value and updating, the second special figure holding storage number is updated to be subtracted by 1, and the second special figure holding storage is updated. The hold data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the unit 151B is shifted upward one entry at a time. (Step S1233). Further, in the process of step S1233, the RAM 102 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total hold storage count value stored in the total hold storage counter. At this time, the variable special map designation buffer value, which is the stored value of the variable special map designation buffer, is updated to "2" (step S1234).

When the second special figure reserved storage number is "0" in step S1231 (step S1231; Yes), it is determined whether or not the first special figure reserved storage number is "0" (step S1235). The first special figure hold storage number is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step S1235, the RAM 102 may read the first hold storage count value stored in the first hold storage counter, and determine whether or not the read value is “0”. As described above, the process of step S1235 is executed when the second special figure reserved storage number is determined to be "0" in step S1231, and the first special figure reserved storage number is "0". Judge whether or not. As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

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

When the number of first special figure hold storage is other than "0" in step S1235 (step S235; No), the hold stored in the first special figure hold storage unit 151A corresponding to the hold number "1". As the data, numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type are read out (step S1236). The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step S1236, for example, by subtracting 1 from the first reserved storage number count value and updating, the first special figure holding storage number is updated to be subtracted by 1, and the first special figure holding storage is updated. The hold data indicated by the random number values MR1 and MR2 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the unit 151A is shifted upward one entry at a time. (Step S1237). Further, in the process of step S1237, the RAM 102 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total hold storage count value stored in the total hold storage counter. At this time, the variable special map designation buffer value is updated to "1" (step S1238).

After executing any of the processes of steps S1234 and S1238, the table is used to determine whether the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, is "big hit" or "missing". The special figure display result determination table corresponding to the special figure designation buffer value is selected and set (step S1239). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 284-5 (A) is set in the used table. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 284-5 (B) is set in the used table. Further, the CPU 103 may select the table data for determining the special figure display result corresponding to the current gaming state.

The first special symbol display result determination table displays the variable display result before the definite special symbol, which is the variable display result, is derived and displayed in the special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A. Whether or not to control the big hit game state as "big hit", whether or not to control the variable display result to the small hit game state as "small hit", and the variable display result as "loss (time reduction)" and then variable It is a table referred to for determining whether or not to control from the display to the time saving state based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. The second special symbol display result determination table displays the variable display result before the definite special symbol, which is the variable display result, is derived and displayed in the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. Whether or not to control the big hit game state as "big hit", whether or not to control the variable display result to the small hit game state as "small hit", and the variable display result as "loss (time reduction)" and then variable It is a table referred to for determining whether or not to control from the display to the time saving state based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result.

In the first special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is determined according to whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time-saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR1 for determination is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit", "small hit", "loss (time reduction)", and "loss". In the second special figure display result determination table, a random number value for determining the special figure display result is determined according to whether the gaming state is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). Numerical values (decision values) to be compared with MR1 are assigned to the special figure display results of "big hit", "loss (time reduction)", and "loss".

In the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table, the table data showing the determined value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result has the special figure display result as a "big hit". It is the decision data assigned to the decision result of whether or not to control the jackpot game state and whether or not to control the special figure display result to the time saving state from the next variable display as "loss (time saving)". In each of the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table, when the gaming state is the probability change state (high probability state), compared to the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Many decision values are assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the probabilistic state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is set as a "big hit" as compared with the case of the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Controlling to a state increases the probability of being determined. That is, in each of the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probabilistic state, it is a big hit as compared with the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that the probability of being determined to control the gaming state is high. In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table, the second special figure display result determination table sets the special figure display result as "missing (time reduction)" from the next variable display. Decision data is assigned so that the probability of being determined to control the time saving state is high. Therefore, in the variable display corresponding to the hold of the second special figure stored at the end of the time saving state, the ratio of the special figure display result being "missing (time saving)" is high.

In the setting example of the first special figure display result determination table, the determination value in a predetermined range (value in the range of "30000" to "30350") is assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit". On the other hand, in the setting example of the second special figure display result determination table 130B, the determination value is not assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit". With such a setting, the variable display result is determined based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. The variable display result is determined based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied. The ratio determined to be controlled to the small hit gaming state as "small hit" can be different.

In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state, so for example, a time saving state (low accuracy high base state) or a probability change. Frequent small hit game states where it is difficult to obtain a prize ball in a game state where the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, such as a state (high accuracy and high base state). By avoiding this, it is possible to prevent the game from being enjoyed due to the extension of the game. In the second special figure display result determination table, a predetermined range of determination values different from the settings in the first special figure display result determination table may be assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit". .. For example, in the second special figure display result determination table, a smaller determination value than in the first special figure display result determination table may be assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit". In this way, even if the ratio determined to control the small hit game state is lower in the high base state such as the time reduction state or the probability change state than in the low base state such as the normal state or the probability change state without time reduction. good. Alternatively, regardless of whether the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied, the special figure display result may be determined with reference to the common special figure display result determination table.

Following the process of step S1239 shown in FIG. 284-4, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result stored in the random number buffer for fluctuation is subjected to "big hit", "small hit", and "missing (missing). Compared with the decision value assigned to each special figure display result of "time reduction)" and "loss", the special figure display result is either "big hit", "small hit", "loss (time reduction)" or "loss". (Step S1240).

Since the table data for determining the special figure display result corresponding to the current game state is selected in step S1239, in the process of step S1240, the game state when the variable display of the special figure game or the like is started is a probable change state. Depending on whether or not it is, it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is a "big hit" using different determination data. For example, when the game state when the variable display of the special figure game is started is the normal state or the time saving state, the game state is the normal state in the first special figure display result determination table or the second special figure display result determination table. Alternatively, the table data corresponding to the case of the time saving state is usually selected as the determination data, and the special figure display result corresponding to the random number value MR1 is determined with reference to this. On the other hand, when the game state when the variable display of the special figure game or the like is started is the probability change state, the game state is the probability change state in the first special figure display result determination table or the second special figure display result determination table. The table data corresponding to the case of is selected as the special determination data, and the special figure display result corresponding to the random number value MR1 is determined with reference to this.

After the special figure display result is determined in step S1240, it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is a "big hit" (step S1241). Then, when it is determined to be a "big hit" (step S1241; Yes), the big hit flag provided in the RAM 102 is set to the on state (step S1242). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 284-6 is selected and set as a table to be used for determining the jackpot type to one of a plurality of types (step S1243).

The jackpot type determination table determines the jackpot type to be one of a plurality of types based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type when it is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big hit". It is a table referenced by. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variation) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second special symbol). There are multiple types of numerical values (decision values) to be compared with the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, such as "non-probability", "probability", and "probability", depending on whether the game is a special figure game using the symbol display device 4B. It is assigned to the jackpot type of.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table, the assignment of the determination value to the jackpot type of "probability" is different depending on whether the variable special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart. That is, when the variable special map is the first special map, the determined value in a predetermined range (value in the range of "82" to "99") is assigned to the "probability" jackpot type, while the variable special map is assigned. Is the second special figure, the determined value is not assigned to the jackpot type of "probability". With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. In the case of Therefore, the rate at which the jackpot type is determined to be "probable" can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined to control the short-term open big hit state by setting the big hit type to "probability". In a game state in which a game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by 6B, it is possible to avoid the frequent occurrence of a short-term open jackpot state in which it is difficult to obtain a prize ball, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the game interest due to the extension of the game. ..

Even when the variable special map is the second special map, the determined value in a predetermined range different from the case where the variable special map is the first special map is assigned to the "probability" jackpot type. good. For example, when the variable special map is the second special map, a smaller determination value may be assigned to the "probability" jackpot type as compared with the case where the variable special map is the first special map. Alternatively, regardless of whether the variable special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to the common table data.

By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in step S1243 shown in FIG. 284-4, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type stored in the random number buffer for variation can be changed to "non-probability". It is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is to be, depending on which of the determination values assigned to each of the "probability variation" and "probability" jackpot types is matched (step S1244).

By determining the jackpot type in the process of step S1244, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state is set to either a time-saving state or a probabilistic state in which the player has a higher advantage than the time-saving state. It will be decided before the definite special symbol as a variable display result is derived. Corresponding to the jackpot type determined in this way, for example, by setting the jackpot type buffer value which is the storage value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the RAM 102 (step S1245), the determined jackpot type is stored. As an example, if the jackpot type is "non-probability", the jackpot type buffer value may be "0", if it is "probability variation", it may be "1", and if it is "probability", it may be "2".

If it is determined in step S1241 that it is not a "big hit" (step S1241; No), it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is a "small hit" (step S1246). Then, when it is determined to be a "small hit" (step S1246; Yes), the small hit flag provided in the RAM 102 is set to the on state (step S1247).

If it is determined in step S1246 that it is not a "small hit" (step S1246; No), the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "time reduction"). It is determined whether or not there is (step 059AKS003). Then, when it is determined to be "time saving" (step 059AKS003; Yes), the CPU 103 determines the time saving type as shown in FIG. 284-7 as a table to be used for determining the time saving type to any one of a plurality of types. The table is selected and set, and the time saving type is determined based on the random number value MR2 in the same manner as in the case of determining the jackpot type (step 059AKS004).

The time saving type determination table shown in FIG. 284-7 is based on MR2, which is common with the random number value for determining the jackpot type when it is decided to control the special figure display result to the time saving state as "loss (time saving)". It is a table referred to for determining one of multiple types of time saving type. In the time saving type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variation) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second special symbol). Depending on whether it is a special figure game by the symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the time saving type is a plurality of types of big hit types such as "time saving A" to "time saving D". Is assigned to. As shown in the figure, in the feature unit 059AK of this embodiment, when the special symbol whose variable display (variation) is performed in the special figure game is the first special figure, "time saving A" or "time saving B". When the special symbol that is variablely displayed (variable) in the special figure game is the second special figure, it is determined to be the time saving type of "time saving C" or "time saving D". "Time saving A" and "time saving C" are time saving types controlled to the time saving state while the special figure game is played 100 times. "Time saving B" is a time saving type controlled to a time saving state while the special figure game is played 50 times. "Time saving D" is a time saving type controlled to a time saving state while the special figure game is played 20 times.

After executing the process of step 059AKS004 of FIG. 284-4, the CPU 103 corresponds to the time saving type determined in the step 059AKS004, for example, the time saving type buffer value which is the storage value of the time saving type buffer provided in the RAM 102. (Step 059AKS005), the determined time saving type is stored. As an example, if the time saving type is "time saving A", the time saving type buffer value is set to "0", if it is "time saving B", it is set to "1", if it is "time saving C", it is set to "2", and "time saving D". If it is, it may be set to "3".

After executing the process of step 059AKS005, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving / medium flag provided in the RAM 102 is set to the ON state (step 059AKS006). The time saving medium flag is a flag indicating that the time saving control is currently in progress (sometimes referred to simply as a time saving flag). If the time saving middle flag is in the off state (step 059AKS006; No), the time saving start flag provided in the RAM 102 is set to the on state (step 059AKS006A). The time saving start flag is a flag indicating that the time saving control is started from the next special figure game.

When it is determined in step 059AKS003 that it is not "missing (time reduction)" (step 059AKS003; No), or when it is determined in step 059AKS006 that the time reduction medium flag is on (step 059AKS006; Yes), step After executing any of the processes of S1245, S1247, and step 059AKS006A, a preliminary determination result of whether to control the big hit game state or the small hit game state, the next time reduction state, and the big hit. A definite special symbol is set according to the determination result of the jackpot type in the game state and the determination result of the time saving type in the time saving state (step S1248). As an example, if it is determined in step 059AKS003 that the special figure display result is not "missing (time reduction)", the lost symbol corresponds to the pre-determined result that the special figure display result is "missing". The special symbol indicating the "-" symbol that becomes is set as the confirmed special symbol. On the other hand, when it is determined in step 059AKS003 that the special figure display result is "missing (time saving)", the time saving symbols "1" and "1" are set according to the determination result of the time saving type in step 059AKS004. Any one of the special symbols indicating the numbers of "4", "6", and "8" is set as the confirmed special symbol. That is, the special symbol showing the number "1" is set as the confirmed special symbol according to the determination result that the time reduction type is "time reduction A". Further, according to the determination result that the time saving type is "time saving B", the special symbol showing the number "4" is set as the confirmed special symbol. A special symbol showing the number "6" is set as a confirmed special symbol according to the determination result that the time reduction type is "time reduction C". A special symbol showing the number "8" is set as a confirmed special symbol according to the determination result that the time reduction type is "time reduction D".

When it is determined in step S1246 that the special figure display result is a "small hit", the small hit symbol is used in response to the pre-determined result that the special figure display result is a "small hit". The special symbol showing the number of "2" is set as the confirmed special symbol. Further, when it is determined in step S1241 that the special figure display result is "big hit", the big hit symbols are "3", "5", and "7" according to the determination result of the big hit type in step S1244. Any of the special symbols indicating the numbers of "" is set as the confirmed special symbol. That is, according to the determination result that the jackpot type is "non-probability variation", the special symbol showing the number "3", which is the normal jackpot symbol among the normally open round jackpot symbols, is set as the finalized special symbol. Further, according to the determination result that the jackpot type is "probability variation", the special symbol showing the number "7", which is the probability variation jackpot symbol, among the normally open round jackpot symbols is set as the finalized special symbol. Depending on the decision result that the jackpot type is "probability", the special symbol showing the number "5", which is the short-term open jackpot symbol, is set as the confirmed special symbol.

After setting the confirmed special symbol in step S1248, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" which is a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern setting process (step S1249), and then the special symbol normal process is terminated. .. If the number of reserved memory of the special figure game using the first special figure is "0" in step S1235 (step S1235; Yes), after performing the predetermined demo display setting (step S1250), the special symbol End normal processing. In this demo display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo designation command) for designating a demonstration display (demo screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 is an effect control from the main board 11. It is determined whether or not the transmission has been sent to the board 12. At this time, if it has already been sent, the demo display setting is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it has not been sent, the setting for sending the customer waiting demo designation command is made, and then the demo display setting is terminated.

FIG. 284-8 is a flowchart showing an example of the fluctuation pattern setting process executed in step S111 shown in FIG. 279. When the variation pattern setting process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is on (step S261). When it is determined that the jackpot flag is on (step S261; Yes), the CPU 103 refers to the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 284-11 (A), and the jackpot display result is "big hit". A variation pattern corresponding to the time is determined (step S262).

FIG. 284-10 shows an example of the fluctuation pattern in the feature portion 059AK of this embodiment. In this embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" and "loss", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is "non-reach" and "reach", respectively. Correspondingly, a plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in case the variable display result becomes a "big hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern") and is variable. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the display result is "loss (time reduction)" or "loss" and the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). .. Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the loss fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “loss”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern. In the feature unit 059AK, a dedicated variation pattern (the variation pattern of PB2-4 shown in the figure) or a variable display, which is selected only when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)", is selected. Although it encourages the result to be "missing (time saving)", there is a variation pattern of time saving that is "missing". Regarding the fluctuation pattern dedicated to the time of loss (time reduction), which is selected only when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)", the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)", for example, the fluctuation pattern of Super Reach D. There may be a variation pattern of the kind of super reach effect that is executed only when.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach is executed. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" is referred to as a small hit fluctuation pattern. The big hit fluctuation pattern and the small hit fluctuation pattern are included in the hit fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" or "small hit". The super reach fluctuation pattern includes reach effects such as super reach A, super reach B, and super reach C, regardless of whether the variable display result is "big hit" or "missing".

The jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 284-11 (A) changes the fluctuation pattern according to the determination result of the jackpot type when it is determined (predetermined) that the special figure display result is set to "big hit". It is a table referred to for determining one of a plurality of types based on the random number value MR3 for pattern determination. In the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 284-11 (A), a random number value for determining the fluctuation pattern is determined according to whether the determination result of the jackpot type is "non-probability", "probability", or "probability". The numerical value (determined value) to be compared with MR3 is any of the fluctuation pattern PA4-1, the fluctuation pattern PB4-1, the fluctuation pattern PB4-2, the fluctuation pattern PB4-3, and the fluctuation pattern PC1-1 to the fluctuation pattern PC1-3. Is assigned to a crab.

In the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table 132A shown in FIG. 284-11 (A), the determination value varies depending on which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined, so that the ratio determined for each variation pattern is different. There is a part assigned to the pattern. For example, the determination values for the fluctuation pattern PA4-1, the fluctuation pattern PB4-1, the fluctuation pattern PB4-2, and the fluctuation pattern PB4-3, depending on whether the jackpot type is "non-probability" or "probability". The allocation is different. As a result, it is possible to make the ratios determined for the same fluctuation pattern different depending on the determination result of which of the plurality of types of jackpots is used.

Further, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table, there is a part in which the determination value is assigned to different fluctuation patterns depending on which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined. For example, when the jackpot type is "non-probable change" or "probable change", a determined value is assigned to the fluctuation pattern PA4-1, the fluctuation pattern PB4-1, the fluctuation pattern PB4-2, and the fluctuation pattern PB4-3. On the other hand, no determined value is assigned to the fluctuation pattern PC1-1 to the fluctuation pattern PC1-3. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "probability", the determination value is assigned to the fluctuation pattern PC1-1 to the fluctuation pattern PC1-3, while the fluctuation pattern PA4-1 and the fluctuation pattern PB4. No decision value is assigned to -1, fluctuation pattern PB4-2, and fluctuation pattern PB4-3. As a result, when the special figure display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is controlled to the short-term open big hit state according to "probability", the fluctuation pattern is determined to be different from the case where the normal open big hit state is controlled. be able to.

When the jackpot type is determined to be "non-probable change", "probable change", or "probable change", it depends on whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a probable change state, or a time saving state. Therefore, the assignment of the determined value for each fluctuation pattern may be different. Thereby, the ratio determined to the same fluctuation pattern can be made different depending on which of the plurality of types of the gaming state is. Further, when the jackpot type is determined to be "non-probable change", "probable change", or "probable change", it depends on whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a probable change state, or a time saving state. Therefore, the determination value may be assigned to different fluctuation patterns. Thereby, it is possible to determine different fluctuation patterns depending on which of the plurality of types of gaming states. In this embodiment, when the jackpot type is "non-probability variation", more determined values are assigned to the variation pattern PA4-1 showing the variation pattern of normal reach than in the case of "probability variation". .. Therefore, when the reach effect of Super Reach is executed, it is more likely that the jackpot type will be "probable change" rather than "non-probable change", so that the player can have expectations and the game. You can improve your interest. Further, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 284-11 (A), the variation pattern PB4-2 that performs the reach effect of the super reach B is more than the variation pattern PB4-1 that performs the reach effect of the super reach C. , The fluctuation pattern PB4-3 that produces the reach of Super Reach A is more assigned than the fluctuation pattern PB4-2, that is, as the fluctuation time becomes longer (see the fluctuation time in FIG. 284-10). Has been done.

Returning to FIG. 284-8, when it is determined in the process of step S261 that the big hit flag is in the off state (step S261; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the small hit flag is in the on state (step S263). ). When it is determined that the small hit flag is on (step S263; Yes), the CPU 103 refers to the small hit fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 284-11 (B), and the special figure display result is "small hit". The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the small hit is determined (step S264).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the small hit flag is in the off state (step S263; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving start flag is in the on state (step 059AKS007). When it is determined that the time saving start flag is on (step 059AKS007; Yes), the CPU 103 selects the variation pattern table when the time saving start flag is turned on as shown in FIGS. 284-12 (A), (C) and (D). (Step 059AKS008). On the other hand, when it is determined that the time reduction start flag is in the off state (step 059AKS007; No), the CPU 103 selects the variation pattern table at the time of time reduction start flag off as shown in FIGS. 284-12 (B) and (E) (step). 059AKS009).

After executing the process of step 059AKS008 or step 059AKS009, the CPU 103 determines whether the variable special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, depending on the type of the special figure and whether or not the time is shortened. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the loss when the special figure display result is “loss (time reduction)” or “loss” is determined (step 059AKS010). Specifically, in step 059AKS010, when the special map display result is "loss (time reduction)" and the variable special map is the first special map, FIG. 284-is regardless of whether or not the time reduction control is performed. Refer to the time saving start flag on time loss fluctuation pattern determination table shown in 12 (A), and use it as numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation, depending on the time saving type. Based on this, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types. On the other hand, when the special map display result is "loss (time reduction)" and the variable special map is the second special map, FIG. 284-12 (C) or (D) depends on whether or not the time reduction control is performed. ) Refers to the time saving start flag on time loss fluctuation pattern determination table, and determines the fluctuation pattern to one of a plurality of types based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern. Further, when the special map display result is "missing" and the variable special map is the first special map, the time saving control can be performed by referring to the time saving start flag off time loss fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 284-12 (B). The fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on numerical data indicating a random number value MR3 or the like depending on whether or not the time saving state is being performed. Further, when the special map display result is "missing" and the variable special map is the second special map, if the time saving is in progress, the loss variation pattern determination table at the time of turning off the time saving start flag shown in FIG. 284-12 (B) is displayed. With reference to it, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 and the like. On the other hand, in the normal state, the fluctuation pattern is set to one of a plurality of types based on the numerical data showing the random value MR3 by referring to the time saving start flag off time loss fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 284-12 (E). decide. As shown in the figure, in the feature unit 059AK of this embodiment, when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" (when the time reduction start flag is on, the loss fluctuation pattern determination table is selected), the type of super reach is selected. Decision values are assigned so that the time saving type is determined at different rates. Specifically, the decision value is assigned so that the person who executes the super reach with a high expectation of a big hit becomes the time reduction type with a large number of time reductions (B is "time reduction A" rather than super reach C). It is assigned so that the ratio of time saving types is high). In addition, as shown in the figure, when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" (when the loss fluctuation pattern determination table when the time reduction start flag is on is selected), the determination value is set to Super Reach A, which has the highest expectation of big hit. Not assigned. That is, in the feature unit 059AK, the determination value is assigned so that the ratio of “loss (time reduction)” differs depending on the type of super reach. Further, in the feature unit 059AK, for example, as shown in FIGS. 284-11 and 11-12, when the reach effect of Super Reach B or Super Reach C is executed, when a big hit occurs, or when a loss (time reduction) occurs. Determining values are assigned so that multiple variable display results are obtained, such as when the result is simply a loss. Therefore, the variation of the production result can be increased and the game entertainment can be improved. Further, as described above, the variable winning ball device 6B forming the second starting winning opening is provided in the game area on the right side of the player, and the game ball wins only when the so-called right-handed hit is made. ing. Therefore, in the feature unit 059AK, the second special figure fluctuates in the time saving state due to the player hitting right in the time saving state. On the other hand, when the time saving control is completed and the reserved memory corresponding to the second special figure remains, the second special figure changes in the normal state. That is, the second special figure changes in the normal state only when the time saving control is completed and the reserved memory corresponding to the second special figure remains. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 284-12 (E), the feature unit 059AK corresponds to four times, which is the maximum number of variable displays performed after the end of the time reduction (maximum value of the reserved storage number corresponding to the second special figure). It is a variable display (variable) fluctuation pattern determination table (corresponding to "4").

After returning to FIG. 284-8 and executing the process of step 059AKS010, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving start flag is set to the ON state (step 059AKS011). When the time reduction start flag is on (step 059AKS011; Yes), the CPU 103 indicates that the determined variation pattern is a variation pattern for determining the time reduction (that is, a variation pattern dedicated to the time reduction (time reduction)). (Step 059AKS012). When the determined fluctuation pattern is not PB2-4, the time-saving fanning effect period as a period for executing the time-saving fanning effect described later is added to the special figure fluctuation time indicated by the determined variation pattern (step 059AKS013). .. Specifically, in step 059AKS013, as shown in FIG. 284-9, a time saving fanning effect period may be added according to the time saving type. It should be noted that PB2-4, which is a dedicated fluctuation pattern at the time of loss (time reduction), and PB2-5, which is a fluctuation pattern of time-saving gasse, have a time-saving fanning effect period (10 seconds) during the special figure fluctuation time shown in FIG. )It is included. The time-saving fanning effect is an effect of fanning whether or not the time-saving symbol, which is a decorative symbol indicating that the decorative symbol is controlled to the time-saving state from the next variable display, is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the decorative symbol.

After executing any of the processes of steps S262, S264, and 059AKS013 in FIGS. 284-8, the CPU 103 sets a special figure variation time (also referred to as a variation time), which is a variable display time of the special symbol (step S266). The special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is the time required from the start of the fluctuation of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the definite special symbol, which is the variable display result (special symbol display result), is derived and displayed. Is. As shown in FIG. 284-10, the special figure fluctuation time is predetermined in accordance with a plurality of fluctuation patterns prepared in advance, but when the process of step 059AKS013 is executed, the time saving fanning effect period is executed. Is the added period. The CPU 103 sets a special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern selected in each process of steps S262, S264, and 059AKS013 (when the process of step 059AKS013 is executed, the period in which the time-saving fanning effect period is added). Therefore, it is possible to set the timing at which the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is derived. The special figure fluctuation time is set, for example, by setting a timer value according to the special figure fluctuation time in the game control process timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102. In the feature unit 059AK of this embodiment, when the time saving start flag is on and the determined fluctuation pattern is not PB2-4, the time saving fanning effect period is set as the period for executing the time saving fanning effect. , An example of adding to the special figure fluctuation time indicated by the fluctuation pattern is shown, but in addition to this, for example, when the variable display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit", a predetermined period is set. It may be added to the special figure fluctuation time. In this case, as in the case of the time saving type, a period corresponding to the big hit type may be added, and the processing may be common to step 059AKS013. Specifically, the respective periods corresponding to "time reduction A", "time reduction B", and "time reduction C" shown in FIG. 284-9 are added as periods corresponding to "non-probability", "probability", and "probability". do it.

Following the process of step S266, the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B are started. A setting for starting the fluctuation of the special symbol is made so as to start any of the special symbol games for which the condition is satisfied (step S267). As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", a setting is made to transmit a drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. On the other hand, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", a setting is made to transmit a drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. As a result, the special figure game is started. When the CPU 103 starts the variable display using the first special figure, the CPU 103 controls the first hold display 25A to display a display capable of specifying the subtracted 1st special figure hold storage number. The hold display 25A may be used (for example, the number of LEDs lit is reduced by one). When the CPU 103 starts the variable display using the second special figure, the CPU 103 controls the second hold display 25B to display a display capable of specifying the subtracted second special figure hold storage number. The hold display 25B may be used (for example, the number of LEDs lit is reduced by one).

After executing the process of step S267, the CPU 103 issues a command at the start of fluctuation of the special symbol (command at the start of fluctuation) in order to notify the effect control board 12 of the special symbol display result, the determination result of the fluctuation pattern, and the like. Transmission settings are made (step S268). For example, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103 requests the effect control board 12 from the main board 11 as a first fluctuation start designation command and a fluctuation pattern designation command (variation start designation command). A command including EXT data indicating the fluctuation pattern determined in steps S262, S264, or S265), a display result specification command (command including EXT data indicating the determined variable display result), and a first special figure hold storage number specification command (command containing EXT data indicating the determined variable display result). The 1-decreased 1st special figure hold storage count value, that is, a command including EXT data indicating the 1st special figure hold storage when one hold storage is exhausted by the start of execution of the special figure game) is sequentially transmitted. Set the transmission settings for this. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 requests the effect control board 12 from the main board 11 as a second fluctuation start designation command and a fluctuation pattern designation command (variation start designation command). A command including EXT data indicating the fluctuation pattern determined in steps S262, S264 or S265), a display result specification command (command including EXT data indicating the determined variable display result), and a second special figure hold storage number specification command (1). The decremented second special figure reserved storage count value, that is, a command including EXT data indicating the second special figure reserved storage when one reserved memory is exhausted by the start of execution of the special figure game) is sequentially transmitted. Set the transmission settings for.

After executing the process of step S268, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to "2" (step S267), and then ends the variation pattern setting process.

FIG. 284-13 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 279 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop processing shown in FIGS. 284-13, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the special figure confirmation display flag provided in a predetermined area (game control flag setting unit, etc.) of the RAM 102 is on. (Step S291). Here, the flag for confirming the special figure is set to the ON state by the process of step S295 described later in correspondence with the derivation display of the confirmed special symbol which is the variable display result in the special figure game.

When the flag for confirming the special symbol is off in step S291 (step S291; No), a setting for deriving and displaying the confirmed special symbol is made (step S292). At this time, the decorative symbol stop command transmission setting process for transmitting the decorative symbol stop command to the effect control board 12 is performed (step 059AKS021). The decorative symbol stop command is also called a symbol confirmation command, and is a command that specifies that the variable display (variation) of the decorative symbol is terminated and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. This command specifies the period (fixed period) for displaying the symbol.

Here, the main effect control commands transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by the command control process will be described with reference to FIGS. 284-14. In addition, "(H)" indicates that it is a hexadecimal number.

The command 80XX (H) is an effect control command (variation pattern designation command) for designating a variation pattern of the decorative symbol that is variably displayed on the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol. In this embodiment, a variation pattern designation command corresponding to each variation pattern is set. For example, a unique number (variation pattern number) is assigned to each variation pattern, and the number is set to "XX" in the command (for example, "01" for variation pattern PA1-1). The variation pattern specification command is also a command for designating the variation start of the decorative pattern.

The command 8A01 (H) is an effect control command (first start opening winning designation command) for designating that the first starting winning is generated due to the game medium entering the first starting winning opening. The command 8A02 (H) is an effect control command (second start opening winning designation command) for designating that the second starting winning is generated due to the game medium entering the second starting winning opening. The first starting opening winning designation command and the second starting opening winning designation command may be collectively referred to as a starting opening winning designation command.

The command 8CXX (H) specifies whether or not to make a big hit, whether to make a loss (time reduction), and a big hit type, a time reduction type, etc., that is, an effect control command (display result) that specifies a variable display result. Specified command). In this embodiment, display result specification commands corresponding to each display result are set. For example, a unique number is assigned to each display result, and the number is set to "XX" in the command (for example, "00" for "missing" and "missing" with the time saving type "time saving A" (for example). "01" for "time reduction)", "05" for "big hit" with "probability change" as the jackpot type).

The command 8D01 (H) is an effect control command (first variable start designation command) that specifies to start variable display (variation) of the first special symbol. The command 8D02 (H) is an effect control command (second variable start designation command) that specifies to start variable display (variation) of the second special symbol. The first fluctuation start designation command and the second fluctuation start designation command may be collectively referred to as a fluctuation start designation command. Information indicating whether to start the variable display of the first special symbol or the variable display of the second special symbol may be included in the variation pattern determination result designation command described later.

The command 8FXX (H) is an effect control command (design confirmation designation command) that specifies that the variable display (variation) of the decorative symbol is terminated and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed, and the derived display is displayed. This command specifies the period (fixed period) for displaying the decorative pattern. In the feature unit 059AK of this embodiment, whether or not the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" and the display result corresponding to each time reduction type when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)". The specified command is set. For example, if the variable display result is not "loss (time reduction)", "00" is set for "XX" in the command, and if the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)", the time reduction type is selected. A unique number is assigned accordingly, and that number is set to "XX" in the command (for example, "01" if the time saving type is "time saving A", "02" if the time saving type is "time saving B", time saving. If the type is "time reduction C", "03", if the time reduction type is "time reduction D", "04", etc.).

The command 95XX (H) is an effect control command (game state designation command) for designating the game state. In the present embodiment, a game state designation command corresponding to each game state is set. For example, if the gaming state is a normal state (low probability low base), "XX" is set to "00". For example, if the gaming state is a high-accuracy low-base state, "XX" is set to "01". For example, if the gaming state is a high-accuracy high-base state, "XX" is set to "02". For example, if the gaming state is a low accuracy high base state, "XX" is set to "03".

The command A000 (H) is an effect control command (big hit start designation command) for designating the start of the big hit game state (start of fanfare). The fanfare 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 command A100 (H) is an effect control command (small hit start designation command) for designating the start of the small hit game state.

The command A2XX (H) is an effect control command (command for designating the opening of the large winning opening) for designating the opening of the special variable winning ball device 7 for the number of times (round) indicated by XX. A3XX (H) is an effect control command (a command designated after opening the large winning opening) for designating the closure of the special variable winning ball device 7 for the number of times (round) indicated by XX.

The command A601 (H) is an effect control command (big hit end designation command) for designating the end (start of ending) of the big hit game state. The ending is an effect of notifying the end of the big hit game state, which is executed at the end of the big hit game state. The command A602 (H) is an effect control command (small hit end designation command) for designating the end of the small hit game state.

The command C1XX (H) is an effect control command (first special figure holding storage number designation command) for designating the first special figure holding storage number. "XX" indicates the first special figure reserved storage number. The command C2XX (H) is an effect control command (second special figure holding storage number designation command) for designating the second special figure holding storage number. "XX" indicates the second special figure reserved storage number. The first special figure hold storage number designation command and the second special figure hold storage number designation command may be collectively referred to as a special figure hold storage number designation command.

The command C4XX (H) is an effect control command (design determination result designation command) for designating a display result among the determination results at the time of starting winning. The command C5XX (H) is an effect control command (variation pattern determination result designation command) for designating a variation pattern among the determination results at the time of starting winning. In the present embodiment, in the process of step S101 described later, when the first start winning or the second starting winning occurs, the random numbers MR1 to 3 are extracted. For the variable display corresponding to the extracted random numbers MR1 to 3, the variable display is variable based on the random numbers MR1 and MR3 of the extracted random numbers MR1 to MR3 before the start condition of the variable display is satisfied. Whether or not the display result is a "big hit" and the fluctuation pattern of the variable display are determined. The determination at the time of starting winning refers to these determinations, and is executed in the winning random value determination process (see FIG. 284-3) in step S1213. In certain cases, this determination may not be performed. A unique number is assigned to the judgment result (including the case where there is no judgment) about the display result, and the number is set to "XX" in the symbol specification command (for example, if "no judgment", " "00", "01" etc. are set for "Loss", a unique number is assigned according to the time saving type for "Loss (time saving)", and unique according to the big hit type for "Big hit". Number is assigned). A unique number is assigned to the judgment result (including the case without judgment) for the fluctuation pattern, and the number is set to "XX" in the fluctuation pattern specification command (for example, if "no judgment". "00", "11" for "PA1-1", "12" for "PA1-2", etc.).

FIG. 284-15 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 059AKS021 of FIG. 284-13 as the decorative symbol stop command transmission setting process. The decorative symbol stop command transmission setting process is a process for setting to transmit a variable display result and a decorative symbol stop command according to the time saving type. In the decorative symbol stop command transmission setting process, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the time saving / medium flag is set to the ON state (step 059AKS041). If the time saving middle flag is in the off state (step 059AKS041; No), it is determined whether or not the time saving start flag is set in the on state (step 059AKS042). If the time reduction start flag is on (step 059AKS042; Yes), the variable display result this time is "missing (time reduction)", so the CPU 103 sets the transmission of the decorative symbol stop command according to the time reduction type. (Step 059AKS043), the decorative symbol stop command transmission setting process is terminated.

Specifically, in step 059AKS043, as shown in FIG. 284-15 (B), a predetermined decorative symbol stop command (symbol confirmation command) is set according to the time saving type. As shown in the figure, the fixed time is 10 seconds for "time saving A" and "time saving B", while the fixed time is 5 seconds for "time saving C" and 2 seconds for "time saving D". The time saving types of "time saving A" and "time saving B" are the time saving types determined only when the variable display result of the first special figure is "missing (time saving)", and are "time saving C" and "time saving". Since the time saving type of "D" is a time saving type determined only when the variable display result of the second special figure is "missing (time saving)", the variable display result of the first special figure is "missing (time saving)". Since the fixed time differs depending on whether the variable display result of the second special figure is "missing (time saving)", the variation of the variable display increases and the game entertainment can be improved. Further, when the variable display result of the second special figure is "loss (time reduction)", the confirmation period differs depending on the time reduction type, so that the player's attention can be drawn to the confirmation period. Further, in the feature unit 059AK, since the processing of step 059AKS043 is performed only when the time saving state is not obtained, the variable display result of the variable display corresponding to the holding (remaining holding) of the second special figure remaining after the time saving is completed is obtained. Only in the case of "loss (time reduction)", the processing of the step 059AKS043 is performed, so that the fixed time corresponding to the time reduction type of "time reduction C" and "time reduction D" shown in the figure is obtained. That is, in the case where the time reduction state is controlled again in a short period after the end of the time reduction (at the maximum after the end of the period of four variable display of the maximum reserved storage number of the second special figure) (“time reduction”). In "C" and "time reduction D"), as shown in the figure, when the variable display result corresponding to the first special figure is "loss (time reduction)" in the normal state ("time reduction A" and "time reduction B"). The confirmation time is shorter than. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly notify the player that the time saving state is controlled, and it is possible to control the time saving state by prolonging the fixed period for the normal state and the variable display of the first special figure. A period can be provided to clearly notify the player. In addition, in the case where the time is controlled again in a short period of time after the end of the time reduction, if the fixed period is long, the game entertainment may be deteriorated. Is prevented from decreasing.

When the time saving middle flag is on in step 059AKS041 of FIG. 284-15 (A) (step 059AKS041; Yes), or when the time saving start flag is off in step 059AKS042 (step 059AKS042; No), the CPU 103 Sets to transmit the command 8F00 (fixed period 0.5 seconds) as the decorative symbol stop command (step 059AKS044), and ends the decorative symbol stop command transmission setting process.

After returning to FIG. 284-13 and executing the process of step 059AKS021, the CPU 103 has a confirmation period (10 seconds, 5 seconds, 2 seconds, 0) corresponding to the decorative symbol stop command (symbol confirmation command) set in step 059AKS021. .5 seconds) is set as the special figure confirmation display time (step 059AKS022). In the process of step 059AKS022, the timer initial value predetermined according to the variable display result and the time saving type may be set in the game control process timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153. Then, after setting the special symbol confirmation display in-display flag to the ON state (step S295), the special symbol stop process is terminated. In this way, after the confirmed special symbol is derived and displayed by the process of step S292, the special symbol process process corresponding to the occurrence of the timer interrupt is performed until the special symbol confirmed display time set in step 059AKS022 elapses. Every time the stop process is executed, it is determined in step S291 that the special figure confirmation display flag is on.

When the special figure confirmation display flag is on in step S291 (step S291; Yes), it is determined whether or not the special figure confirmation display time has elapsed (step S296). For example, in the process of step S296, the game control process timer value, which is the stored value of the game control process timer for which the timer initial value is set by the process of step S294, is read, and whether or not the timer value becomes "0" is determined. Therefore, it may be determined whether or not the special figure confirmation display time has elapsed. If the timer value is other than "0", the game control process timer value should be updated so that it is decremented by 1 each time the game control timer interrupt process is executed based on the occurrence of the timer interrupt. Just do it. If the special symbol confirmation display time has not elapsed in step S296 (step S296; No), the special symbol stop processing is terminated, and the process waits until the special symbol confirmation display time elapses.

When the special figure confirmation display time has elapsed in step S296 (step S296; Yes), after clearing the special figure confirmation display in-display flag and turning it off (step S297), whether or not the jackpot flag is on is determined. Determination (step S298). At this time, if the jackpot flag is on (step S298; Yes), a predetermined fixed time is set as the effect waiting time at the start of the jackpot (step S299). In addition, a setting for transmitting a hit start designation command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 is made (step S300). For example, in the process of step S300, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the hit start designation command table prepared in advance for transmitting the hit start designation command according to the jackpot type buffer value is the transmission command in the transmission command buffer. It may be stored in the buffer area specified by the pointer.

Following the process of step S300, the jackpot flag is cleared to turn it off (step S301). In addition, settings are made to end the probabilistic change state, the time saving state, and the remaining holding period described later (step 059AKS023). For example, as the process of step 059AKS023, the process of clearing the probability change flag, the time saving medium flag, and the remaining holding period flag to turn off the state, and the number of times of time saving for counting the remaining number of times of the special figure game executed in the time saving state. A process such as clearing the counter may be executed. Then, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "4" which is a value corresponding to the jackpot opening preprocessing (step S303), the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

If the big hit flag is off in step S298 (step S298; No), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is on (step S304). At this time, if the small hit flag is on (step S304; Yes), a predetermined fixed time is set as the effect waiting time at the start of the small hit (step S305). Subsequently, a setting is made for transmitting a hit start designation command corresponding to the special figure display result of "small hit" from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step S306). After that, the small hit flag is cleared and the state is turned off (step S307). Further, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8", which is a value corresponding to the small hit opening preprocessing (step S308).

If the small hit flag is off in step S304 (step S304; No), it is determined whether or not the time saving start flag is on (step 059AKS024). If the time saving start flag is on (step 059AKS024; Yes), the time saving start time processing is executed (step 059AKS025). The details of the time saving start processing will be described later. After executing the process of step 059AKS025, or when the time saving start flag is off in step 059AKS024 (step 059AKS024; No), the CPU 103 clears the special figure process flag and initializes the value to "0". (Step S309). After executing any of the processes of steps S308 and S309, it is determined whether or not to end the time saving state (step 059AKS027). Specifically, in the process of step 059AKS027, when the time reduction flag is on, the time reduction count value, which is the stored value of the time reduction counter, is updated by, for example, subtracting one. Then, it is determined whether or not the updated time reduction count value matches a predetermined time reduction end determination value (for example, "0"). At this time, if it matches the time saving end determination value, it is determined as Yes. On the other hand, if it does not match the time saving end determination value, it is determined as No.

When terminating the time saving state (step 059AKS027; Yes), the CPU 103 performs the time saving end processing (step 059AKS028). The details of the processing at the end of working hours will be described later. After executing the process of step 059AKS028, or when the time saving state is not terminated in step 059AKS027 (step 059AKS027; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the remaining hold period is reached (step 059AKS030). Whether or not it is the remaining hold period may be determined by checking whether or not the flag during the remaining hold period, which will be described later, is set to the ON state. When it is the remaining hold period, that is, when the flag during the remaining hold period is on (step 059AKS030; Yes), the CPU 103 performs the remaining hold period end determination process (step 059AKS031), and then ends the special symbol stop process. .. The details of the remaining hold period end determination process will be described later. On the other hand, when it is not the remaining hold period, that is, when the flag during the remaining hold period is off (step 059AKS030; No), the CPU 103 ends the special symbol stop process as it is.

FIG. 284-16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 059AKS025 of FIG. 284-13 as the process at the start of time reduction. The time saving start time processing is a processing in which the variable display result is "missing (time saving)" and a setting for performing time saving control is performed from the next variable display. In the time saving start time processing shown in FIGS. 284-16, the CPU 103 first clears the time saving start flag to the off state (step 059AKS051), and sets the time saving middle flag to the on state (step 059AKS052). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the flag is on during the remaining hold period (step 059AKS053). The remaining hold period flag is a flag indicating that the variable display corresponding to the hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure remaining after the end of the time reduction is in progress, and is a flag in step 059AKS063 (see FIG. 284-17) described later. When all the variable displays corresponding to the hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure remaining after the time reduction is completed (step 059AKS072, which will be described later) are set to the on state in the process, or the second remaining after the time reduction is completed. 2 When the variable display result of the variable display corresponding to the hold (remaining hold) of the special figure becomes "miss (time reduction)", it is cleared to the off state (step 059AKS055 described later).

When it is determined in step 059AKS053 of FIG. 284-16 that the flag is in the off state during the remaining hold period (step 059AKS053; No), the CPU 103 launches a game ball into the game area on the right side of the player. Is set to send a right-handed instruction command for instructing (step 059AKS054), and the time saving start time processing is ended. By transmitting the right-handed instruction command set in the process of step 059AKS054 to the effect control board 12, the right-handed instruction display of the embodiment shown in FIG. 284-33 (F) is displayed on the effect control board 12 side. Will be done.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 059AKS053 of FIG. 284-16 that the flag during the remaining hold period is on (step 059AKS053; Yes), the CPU 103 clears the flag during the remaining hold period to the off state (step 059AKS055). , Clear various count values (step 059AKS056). In the process of step 059AKS056, the values of the remaining hold count value and the variation count value after the end of the time reduction, which will be described later, may be cleared to "0" which is an initial value. Like the remaining hold count value, the variation count value after the end of the time reduction may be provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and is a count value indicating the number of variable displays performed after the time reduction state ends. Although the illustration is omitted, the variation count value after the end of the time reduction is, for example, in the special symbol variation processing in step S112 of FIG. It should be +1.

After executing the process of step 059AKS056 in FIG. 284-16, the CPU 103 is set to send a simple mode right-handed instruction command (step 059AKS057), and the time saving start time process is terminated. By transmitting the simple mode right-handed instruction command set in the process of step 059AKS057 to the effect control board 12, the right-handed instruction of the aspect shown in FIG. The display is done. The right-handed instruction command in the simplified mode transmitted and set in step 059AKS057 of FIG. 284-16 is different from the right-handed instruction command transmitted and set in the process of step 059AKS054, which is during the remaining hold period. This is because the variable display result is "missing (time reduction)". Specifically, in a short period after the end of the time reduction (at the maximum after the end of the period of four variable displays of the maximum reserved storage number of the second special figure), the time reduction state is controlled again, so that step 059AKS057 If the right-handed instruction command set to be transmitted in the process of step 059AKS054 is transmitted in the process of, the player may be troubled. Therefore, in the process of step 059AKS057, a command for displaying a right-handed instruction is transmitted in a simple manner to prevent the player from being annoyed and deteriorating the game interest. ..

FIG. 284-17 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 059AKS028 of FIG. 284-13 as the process at the end of the time saving. The time saving end time processing is a processing for ending the time saving control and setting the remaining hold period. Regarding the probabilistic state in which the time reduction / medium flag is on and the probabilistic change flag is on, the time reduction control may be continuously performed until the next variable display result becomes "big hit". Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not to end the time reduction control even in the probability change state, and the time reduction control may be terminated based on the determination result that the time reduction control is terminated. When the time reduction control is terminated in this way, the normal state may be obtained by also ending the probability variation control, and for the probability variation control, until the next variable display result becomes a "big hit", or further. It may be continued until a predetermined number of special figure games are executed.

In the time saving end time processing shown in FIG. 284-17, the CPU 103 first clears the time saving middle flag to the off state (step 059AKS061). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not there is a hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure (step 059AKS062). In step 059AKS062, it may be determined whether or not there is a hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure by checking the hold information corresponding to the second special figure stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 102.

When the second special figure is held (remaining hold) (step 059AKS062; Yes), the flag is set to the on state during the remaining hold period (step 059AKS063), and the second special figure is held (remaining hold). The remaining hold count value is set according to the number (step 059AKS064). Specifically, in step 059AKS064, if the number of reserved information corresponding to the second special figure stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is "4", "4" is set in the remaining reserved number count value, and "4" is set. If it is "3", "3" may be set, if it is "2", "2" may be set, and if it is "1", "1" may be set.

After executing the process of step 059AKS064, the CPU 103 sets the fluctuation count value to "0" after the end of the time reduction and initializes it (step 059AKS065). Since the fluctuation count value after the end of the time reduction is initialized to "0" in step 059AKS056 of FIG. 284-16, if it is "0", the process of step 059AKS065 may be skipped. good. After executing the process of step 059AKS065, the CPU 103 sets to send a right-handed erase command for erasing the right-handed instruction display (step 059AKS066), and ends the time-saving end time process. By transmitting the right-handed erase command set in the process of step 059AKS066 to the effect control board 12, the process of step 059AKS136 shown in FIG. 284-30 is executed on the effect control board 12 side. , The right-handed instruction display will be erased.

When it is determined in step 059AKS062 of FIG. 284-17 that the hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure does not exist (step 059AKS062; No), the CPU 103 fires the game ball to the game area on the left side of the player. A setting is made to send a left-handed instruction command for instructing to return to the so-called left-handed (step 059AKS067), and the time saving end time processing is ended.

FIG. 284-18 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 059AKS031 of FIG. 284-13 as the remaining hold period end determination process. The remaining hold period end determination process determines whether or not the remaining hold period has ended, that is, whether or not all the variable displays corresponding to the hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure remaining after the end of the time reduction have ended. It is a process to end the remaining hold period when it ends. In the remaining hold period end determination process, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the variation count value after the end of the time reduction matches the remaining hold number count value set in step 059AKS064 of FIG. 284-17 (step 059AKS071). .. If the variation count value after the end of the time reduction does not match the remaining hold number count value (step 059AKS071; No), the CPU 103 ends the remaining hold period end determination process as it is.

On the other hand, when the variable count value after the end of the time reduction matches the remaining hold count value (step 059AKS071; Yes), the CPU 103 clears the flag during the remaining hold period to the off state (step 059AKS072), and various count values. Is cleared (step 059AKS073). In the process of step 059AKS073, the values of the remaining hold count value and the variable count value after the end of the time reduction may be cleared to "0", which is the initial value, as in the process of step 059AKS056. After executing the process of step 059AKS074, the CPU 103 is set to send a left-handed instruction command for instructing the player to return to the so-called left-handed shot that launches the game ball to the game area on the left side (step 059AKS074). , Ends the remaining hold period end determination process. By transmitting the left-handed instruction command set in the process of step 059AKS074 to the effect control board 12, left-handed as shown in FIG. 284-34 (N-2) on the effect control board 12. Instructions will be displayed.

FIG. 284-19 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot end process executed in step S117 of FIG. 279. In the jackpot end process shown in FIGS. 284-19, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the effect waiting time at the end of the jackpot has elapsed (step S321). As an example, in the big hit opening post-processing of step S116 shown in FIG. 279, when the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "7", the waiting time at the end of the big hit, which is the execution period of the ending effect, is previously taken into consideration. The specified timer initial value is set in the game control process timer. Then, in the process of step S321, the game control process timer value is updated by subtracting 1 from the game control process timer value, and the updated game control process timer value matches a predetermined waiting time elapsed determination value (for example, "0"). Depending on whether or not it is, it may be determined whether or not the effect waiting time at the end of the big hit has elapsed. If the effect waiting time at the end of the big hit has not elapsed in step S321 (step S321; No), the big hit end process is terminated as it is.

On the other hand, when the effect waiting time at the end of the big hit has elapsed in step S321 (step S321; Yes), the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is read out (step S322). , Identify whether the jackpot type was "non-probability", "probability", or "probability". At this time, it is determined whether or not the specified jackpot type is "non-probability variation" (step S323).

If it is determined in step S323 that the jackpot type is "non-probable change" (step S323; Yes), a setting is made to start control for setting the gaming state to the time saving state (step S324). For example, the CPU 103 sets the time saving flag to the on state, and sets a predetermined count initial value (for example, "100") corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game that can be executed in the time saving state to the time saving number counter. Set to. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is determined to be "probability change" or "probability change" (step S323; No), a setting is made to start control to set the gaming state to the probable change state (step S325). For example, the CPU 103 sets both the probability change flag and the time saving flag to the ON state.

It should be noted that the setting for controlling the different types of probability change states may be made depending on whether the jackpot type is determined to be "probability change" or the jackpot type is determined to be "probability change". As an example, when the jackpot type is determined to be "probability change", both the probability change flag and the time reduction flag are set to the on state, the initial value of the time reduction count value is not set, and then the special figure display result is displayed. Set so that both probability variation control and time saving control are continuously performed until a "big hit" is reached. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is determined to be "probability", both the probability change flag and the time reduction flag are set to the on state, and the initial value of the time reduction count value is the same as when the time reduction state is controlled. The setting is made, and the probability variation control is continuously performed until the next special figure display result becomes "big hit", while the time saving control is continued until the number of executions of the special figure game reaches a predetermined number (for example, "100"). It may be set as follows. Alternatively, when the jackpot type is determined to be "probability", if the predetermined time-saving / medium-probability flag is on, the setting for starting the time-saving control together with the probability change control is made, while the time-saving / medium-probability flag is off. If so, the setting for starting only the probability change control may be made. Here, for the time saving medium sudden probability flag, for example, when it is determined in step S298 shown in FIG. 284-13 that the big hit flag is on, the big hit type is "probable" and the time saving flag is on. It suffices to be set to the on state corresponding to the time reduction control being performed.

After executing any of the processes of steps S324 and S325, the special figure process flag is cleared, the value is initialized to "0" (step S326), and then the jackpot end process is terminated.

Next, the process of the feature unit 059AK in the effect control board 12 in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 284-20 is a flowchart showing an example of command analysis processing. In the command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 receives a start winning command (start winning opening designation command, special figure hold storage number designation command, symbol judgment result designation command, variation pattern judgment result designation command) from the main board 11. It is determined whether or not it was present (step S401).

When it is determined that the start winning command has been received (step S401; Yes), the received command is stored in the starting winning command buffer (step S402). When the 1st start opening prize designation command or the 1st special figure hold storage number designation command is received as the start winning command, the start winning command (1st start opening winning designation command, 1st special figure hold storage number designation command) , The symbol determination result specification command, the variation pattern determination result specification command) are stored in the first start winning command buffer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122. When the 2nd start opening prize designation command or the 2nd special figure hold storage number designation command is received as the start winning command, the start winning command (2nd start opening winning designation command, 2nd special figure hold storage number designation command) , The symbol determination result specification command, the variation pattern determination result specification command) are stored in the second start winning command buffer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122.

FIG. 284-21 (A) is a configuration example of the command buffer at the time of the first start winning. The command buffer at the time of the first start winning is stored in various command data constituting the start winning command received at the time of the first start winning. The command buffer at the time of winning the first start corresponds to a storage area (holding display numbers 1 to 4) capable of storing various data corresponding to the maximum value (for example, 4) of the first special figure hold storage number. Area) is provided. As shown in the figure, the command buffer at the time of the first start winning in the feature unit 059AK in this embodiment has an area in which various command data corresponding to the variable display during execution are stored as the hold display number “0”. (The same applies to the command buffer at the time of winning the second start).

When there is a start prize to the 1st start winning opening, 4 commands, 1st starting opening winning designation command, 1st special figure hold storage designation command, symbol judgment result designation command, and variation pattern judgment result designation command, are 1 The set effect control command (command at the time of starting winning) is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In the command buffer at the time of the first start winning, in addition to these first start opening winning designation commands, the first special figure hold storage designation command, the symbol judgment result designation command, and the variation pattern judgment result designation command, other information is held. A storage area is secured so that it can be stored in association with the stored information.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the data for specifying the start winning command from the beginning of the free area of the first start winning command buffer according to the receiving order. The free area of the command buffer at the time of the first start winning, that is, the data in the area where the data is not stored is "0000 (H)". Therefore, when the start winning command is received, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the minimum hold display number in which the storage area of the starting winning command is "0000 (H)" in the first starting winning command buffer. Each effect control command data is stored in the storage area in the order of the first start opening winning designation command, the first special figure hold storage designation command, the symbol judgment result designation command, and the variation pattern judgment result designation command.

Further, FIG. 284-21 (B) is a configuration example of the command buffer at the time of winning the second start. The second start winning command buffer stores various command data constituting the start winning command received at the time of the second start winning. The command buffer at the time of winning the second start corresponds to each of the storage areas (hold display numbers 1 to 4) that can store various data for the number corresponding to the maximum value (for example, 4) of the second special figure hold storage number. Area) is provided. Similar to the command buffer at the time of the first start winning, the command buffer at the time of the second start winning in the feature unit 059AK in this embodiment has a hold display number “0” as shown in the variable display during execution. An area is provided for storing various corresponding command data.

When there is a start prize to the 2nd start winning opening, 4 commands, the 2nd starting opening winning designation command, the 2nd special figure hold storage designation command, the symbol judgment result designation command, and the variation pattern judgment result designation command, are 1 The set effect control command (command at the time of starting winning) is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In the command buffer at the time of the second start winning, in addition to these second start opening winning designation commands, the second special figure hold storage designation command, the symbol judgment result designation command, and the variation pattern judgment result designation command, other information is held. A storage area is secured so that it can be stored in association with the stored information.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the data for specifying the start winning command from the beginning of the free area of the second start winning command buffer according to the receiving order. The data in the free area of the command buffer at the time of winning the second start, that is, the area in which the data is not stored is "0000 (H)". Therefore, when the start winning command is received, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the minimum hold display number in which the storage area of the start winning command is "0000 (H)" in the second start winning command buffer. Each effect control command data is stored in the storage area in the order of the second start opening winning designation command, the first special figure hold storage designation command, the symbol judgment result designation command, and the variation pattern judgment result designation command.

Further, in the second start winning command buffer, similarly to the first starting winning command buffer, a storage area for storing other information corresponding to each of the hold display numbers is provided, and a display stage change pattern described later is provided. A storage area for storing is provided. The example shown in FIG. 283-8 (B) shows an example in which the effect control command data is not stored in any of the storage areas of the hold display numbers “0” to “4”.

Returning to the description of the flowchart of the command analysis process shown in FIGS. 284-20, after executing step S402, or when it is determined that the command at the time of starting winning is not received (step S401; No), the effect control CPU 120 , It is determined whether or not the game state designation command has been received (step S403). When it is determined that the game state specification command has been received (step S403; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 switches the on / off state of the high accuracy flag and the high base flag based on the content of the received game state specification command. (Step S404).

The high-probability flag is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) and is turned on in response to the probable change state. The on / off state is switched according to the switching of the on state / off state. The high base flag is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) and is turned on in response to the time saving state, and is a time saving flag on the main board 11 side. The on / off state is switched according to the switching of the on state / off state. For example, when the game state specification command specifies the high accuracy high base state (for example, when the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are specified to be on), the effect control CPU 120 has a high accuracy flag and a high accuracy flag. Turn both of the base flags on (if they are already on, keep them on. The same applies to the on / off states for both flags). When the game state specification command specifies the high probability low base state (for example, when the probability change flag is on and the time saving flag is off), the high probability flag is turned on and the high base state is specified. Turn off the flag. When the game state specification command specifies the low probability low base state (normal state) (for example, when the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are specified to be off), both the high probability flag and the high base flag are set. Turn it off.

After executing step S404, or when it is determined that the start winning command has not been received (step S403; No), the effect control CPU 120 executes other analysis processing (step S405), and the command analysis processing To finish.

FIG. 284-22 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S161 of FIG. 282 as the look-ahead notice setting process. In the hold display setting process shown in FIG. 284-22, the effect control CPU 120 first receives an effect control command (start opening winning designation command, winning determination result command, hold storage number notification command, etc.) transmitted at the time of starting winning. It is determined whether or not there is reception (step S1301). In the process of step S1301, for example, whether or not the start opening winning designation command, the winning determination result command, and the hold storage number notification command are newly stored in the first start winning command buffer or the second starting winning command buffer. By confirming, it is sufficient to determine whether or not a command has been received at the time of winning a start.

If no command is received in step S1301 (step S1301; No), the pre-reading notice setting process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the command has been received (step S1301; Yes), the winning determination result corresponding to the received winning determination result command is specified (step S1302). At this time, it is determined whether or not "during the winning determination restriction" is specified (step S1303). If the winning judgment result is other than "Restricting winning judgment" (step S1303; No), whether or not the production control command transmitted at the time of starting winning includes the first starting opening winning designation command. That is, it is determined whether or not the received start opening winning command is the first starting opening winning command (step 059AKS081).

In the case of the first start opening winning designation command (step 059AKS081; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 holds or holds the variable display result as "big hit" or "loss (time reduction)" in the stored hold. It is determined whether or not the variable display result is "missing" and the hold, which is the fluctuation pattern of the time saving gap, is stored (step 059AKS082). In the process of step 059AKS082, by confirming the contents of the first start winning buffer shown in FIG. It suffices to determine whether or not the result is "loss" and the hold, which is the fluctuation pattern of the time saving gas, is stored.

When the variable display result is "big hit" or "loss (time reduction)", or the variable display result is "loss" and the hold which is the fluctuation pattern of the time reduction is not stored (step 059AKS082; No). ), The normal hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (A) is selected as the table to be used (step 059AKS083).

On the other hand, when either the hold in which the variable display result is "big hit" or "loss (time reduction)" or the hold in which the variable display result is "loss" and the fluctuation pattern of the time reduction is stored (step). 059AKS082; Yes), the restricted hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (B) is selected as the table to be used (step 059AKS084).

When it is determined in step 059AKS081 that it is not the first start opening winning command (step 059AKS081; No), it is the second starting opening winning command and the time is shortened. The time saving hold change determination table for special figure 2 shown in C) is selected as the table to be used (step 059AKS085).

After executing any of the processes of step 059AKS083, 059AKS084, and 059AKS085, the effect control CPU 120 reads ahead according to the variable display result and the fluctuation pattern according to the determination ratio shown in the pending change determination table selected as the table to be used. Whether or not to execute the hold display change effect as the advance notice effect and the execution mode are determined (step S1304).

In the normal hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (A), the received start opening winning command is the first starting opening winning designation command, and the variable display result is "big hit" or in the stored hold. This table is selected when the hold that causes "loss (time reduction)" or the variable display result is "loss" and neither of the hold, which is the fluctuation pattern of the time reduction, is stored. As shown in the figure, in the normal hold change determination table, when the variable display result is "big hit", the variable display result is "miss" and the fluctuation pattern of super reach loss, or the variable display result of "small hit". If it is, it is a variable display result of "loss (time reduction)" or "loss" and it is a fluctuation pattern of the time reduction, and in other cases, it corresponds to, and when it is executed, it is a big hit than when it is not executed. The decision ratio is assigned as shown in the figure so that the expectation is high and the jackpot expectation is high in the order of "red"> "green"> "blue" when executing. When the normal time hold change determination table is selected, in step S1304 of FIG. 284-22, whether or not the hold display change effect is executed and the execution mode are determined according to the determination ratio shown in the normal time hold change determination table. ..

In the restricted hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (B), the received start opening winning command is the first starting opening winning designation command, and the variable display result is "big hit" or in the stored hold. This table is selected when either the hold that is "missing (time saving)" or the holding that is the variable display result of "missing" and is the fluctuation pattern of the time saving is stored. In such a case, the change from the normal state to the time-saving state (which may be a probable change state) after the end of the variable display executed first, that is, before the execution of the variable display corresponding to the hold of the read-ahead notice target. Therefore, the variable display result and the variation pattern may differ between the time of pre-reading and the time of executing the variable display corresponding to the hold of the pre-reading notice target. Therefore, in the restricted hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (B), the execution of the hold display change effect in which the jackpot expectation degree is a certain value or more (“green” or more in this example) is restricted. In the illustrated example, the hold display change effect in the "blue" mode can be executed, but it may be performed only without execution. For example, if the variable display result is "missing" in the stored hold and the hold, which is the fluctuation pattern of the time saving, is stored, the display mode of the hold display to be notified is initially set to "blue". , And after the end of the variable display corresponding to the hold of the fluctuation pattern of the time saving gas, the display mode for the hold subject to the notice (hold displayed in "blue") is changed to the hold display of "green" or higher. You may change it. Further, the active display may be changed to a mode of "green" or higher. When the restricted hold change determination table is selected, in step S1304 of FIG. 284-22, whether or not to execute the hold display change effect and the execution mode are determined according to the determination ratio shown in the restricted hold change determination table. ..

Further, in the normal hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (A) and the restricted hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (B), when the variable display result is "missing (time reduction)". , An example in which the mode is the same as the case of "big hit" is shown, but for example, when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" or the variable display result is "loss", the time reduction fluctuation. When it is a pattern, there may be a peculiar aspect (for example, "time?"). According to this, the variation of the hold display change effect increases, and the player's attention can be attracted.

The time saving hold change determination table for special figure 2 shown in FIG. 284-23 (C) is a table selected when the received start opening winning command is the second starting opening winning command. As shown in the figure, in the time saving hold change determination table for special figure 2, what is the normal time hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (A) and the restricted time hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (B)? Unlike this, the determination ratio is not assigned when the variable display result is "missing (time saving)" or when the variable display result is "missing" and the variation pattern of the time saving is lost. If the received start opening winning command is the second starting opening winning designation command and the winning determination is not in progress, the gaming state is in the time saving state (high base control is in progress). In the feature unit 059AK of this embodiment, even if the time saving symbol (special figure) is stopped and displayed in the time saving state, the time saving control is not newly performed, and further, the time saving control is controlled in the remaining hold by the return effect described later. Since the effect suggesting whether or not to be performed is performed, it is not necessary to execute the hold display change effect for notifying that the time will be shortened. Therefore, as shown in the figure, in the time saving hold change determination table for special figure 2, the variable display result is "missing (time saving)" or the variable display result is "missing", which is a variation pattern of the time saving gap. If no decision percentage is assigned. When the time-saving hold change determination table for special figure 2 is selected, in step S1304 of FIG. 284-22, execution of the hold display change effect according to the determination ratio shown in the time-saving hold change determination table for special figure 2. The presence or absence and the execution mode are determined.

Returning to FIG. 284-22, after executing the process of step S1304, or when it is determined in step S1303 that the winning determination is being restricted (step S1303; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines the determination result of step S1304. Is stored in the hold display data storage unit in association with the hold number corresponding to the new start winning prize (step S1311). At this time, if it is determined in step S1303 that the winning determination is being restricted, the data corresponding to "no execution (white)" in the pending change determination table shown in FIGS. 284-23 may be stored.

Following the process of step S1311, the hold display update setting at the time of starting winning is performed (step S1313), and then the pre-reading notice setting process is terminated. For example, when the number of 1st special figure reserved storage is increased by 1 due to the passing (entry) of the game ball through the 1st starting winning opening, the 1st reserved display on the 1st reserved display unit 5HR is increased by 1. Add a new first hold display. On the other hand, when the number of second special figure hold storage increases by 1 due to the game ball passing (entering) through the second start winning opening, the second hold display on the second hold display unit 5HL is increased by 1. Add a new second hold display. The first hold display and the second hold display added at this time may be any hold display in the mode determined in step S1304 and stored in step S1311.

FIG. 284-24 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process executed in step S171 of FIG. 282. When the variable display start setting process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the time is being shortened (step 059AKS086). In step 059AKS086, if it is determined whether or not the time is shortened by confirming whether or not the high base flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) is set to the ON state. good.

If the time reduction is in progress (step 059AKS086; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 subtracts 1 from the time reduction number and updates the time reduction number (step 059AKS086A). The number of time reductions is set in the process of step 059AKS133 (see FIG. 284-30), which will be described later, and is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. After executing the process of step 059AKS086A, or when it is determined in step 059AKS086 that the time is not shortened (step 059AKS086; No), whether or not the effect control CPU 120 has received the left-handed instruction command from the main board 11 side. (Step 059AKS087), and when it is received (step 059AKS087; Yes), a left-handed instruction display (see M6 in FIG. 284-34 (N-2)) is performed to instruct the player to hit left (see M6 in FIG. Step 059AKS088). The left-handed instruction display may be continued for 5 seconds each time from the reception of the left-handed instruction command to the time when the variable display is performed four times, for example. .. When the left-handed instruction command is not received (step 059AKS087; No) or when the process of step 059AKS088 is executed, the effect control CPU 120 issues a right-handed instruction command or a simplified right-handed instruction command to the main board 11. It is determined whether or not the command was received from (step 059AKS089).

When either the right-handed instruction command or the simple mode right-handed instruction command is received (step 059AKS089; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 displays the right-handed instruction according to each command (step 059AKS090). Specifically, when the right-handed instruction command is received, the right-handed instruction display M3 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 284-33 (F) is performed, and when the simplified right-handed instruction command is received, FIG. 284-. The right-handed instruction display M3 of the embodiment shown in 35 (O) is performed. In addition, after the right-handed instruction display corresponding to each command is performed in step 059AKS090, other effects are shown in FIG. 284-33 (G) in each variable display until the time saving state ends. It suffices if the right-handed instruction is displayed in a manner that does not interfere with the above.

After executing the process of step 059AKS090, or when it is determined in step 059AKS089 that neither the right-handed instruction command nor the simplified right-handed instruction command has been received (step 059AKS089; No), the effect control CPU 120 , It is determined whether or not the display result specification command and the variation pattern specification command can be normally received (step 059AKS090A). In step 059AKS090A, for example, by checking the contents of the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, it may be determined whether or not the display result designation command and the variation pattern designation command can be normally received.

If either the display result designation command or the variation pattern designation command has not been normally received (step 059AKS090A; No), the effect control CPU 120 executes the omission processing (step 059AKS090B).

FIG. 284-25 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 059AKS090B of FIG. 284-24 as the process at the time of missing. In the omission processing shown in FIGS. 284-25, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variation pattern specification command can be normally received, that is, whether or not the omission command is a display result specification command (step). 059AKS093). If the variation pattern designation command has not been normally received (step 059AKS093; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process at the time of dropping as it is. In this case, the decorative symbol is not variably displayed, and the previous variable display result remains as it is, waiting until the symbol confirmation designation command is transmitted from the main board 11 side, and the symbol confirmation designation command is received in accordance with the reception. , The decorative design corresponding to the display result specification command may be stopped and displayed.

On the other hand, when the variation pattern specification command can be normally received (step 059AKS093; Yes), that is, when the missed command is the display result specification command, the effect control CPU 120 has the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command. Is a fluctuation pattern of time saving determination or a fluctuation pattern of time saving gas, that is, whether or not it is a fluctuation pattern of PB2-4 or PB2-5 (step 059AKS094). In the case of a variation pattern of time reduction determination or a variation pattern of time reduction gas (step 059AKS094; Yes), since the variation pattern includes a time reduction fanning effect period, a stop symbol setting process described later is performed (step 059AKS095). Ends the process when a product is missed. In the feature unit 059AK in this embodiment, even if the display result specification command is missed, if the variation pattern specification command can be normally received, the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command can be obtained. If it is a fluctuation pattern of time saving confirmation or a fluctuation pattern of time saving gas, it is possible to execute the time saving fanning effect by performing the stop symbol setting process described later, but either the display result specification command or the variation pattern specification command was missed. In that case, it is possible to prohibit the execution of a time-saving effect such as a time-saving fanning effect, such as stopping and displaying a predetermined decorative pattern at the time of dropping.

On the other hand, when it is not the fluctuation pattern of the time saving determination or the fluctuation pattern of the time saving gas (step 059AKS094; No), the effect control CPU 120 uses a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the fluctuation pattern specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command as the final stop symbol. It is determined (step 059AKS096), and the processing at the time of missing is terminated. In step 059AKS096, among the combinations of decorative symbols that can be selected in the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command, the combination that has the lowest advantage for the player may be determined. According to this, it is possible to prevent inconsistencies such as the fact that the combination of decorative symbols having a high degree of advantage is stopped and displayed, but the result is actually a low degree of advantage, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest in the game. be able to. In this case, since the display result designation command is missed, it cannot be determined on the side of the effect control board 12 whether or not the variable display result is "missing (time saving)". Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 may perform an effect according to the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command (for example, a reach effect of super reach), and then the variable display result may be "missing (time reduction)". In that case, for example, a decorative symbol of "???" may be displayed or a predetermined lost symbol may be shaken until the symbol confirmation designation command is received.

Returning to FIGS. 284-24, when the display result specification command and the variation pattern specification command can be normally received (step 059AKS090A; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 is the display result specification command transmitted from the main board 11 (step 059AKS090A; Yes). It is determined whether or not the special figure display result (variable display result) becomes "missing" based on the display result designation command (command stored in the storage area) or the like (step S551). When it is determined that the special figure display result (variable display result) is "missing" (step S551; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 is, for example, a variation pattern determination result specification command (variation pattern determination) transmitted from the main board 11. The non-reach variation pattern (PA1-1, PA1) corresponding to the case where the variation pattern specified by the result specification command storage area) is "non-reach" in which the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode. -2) It is determined whether or not it is (step S552).

When it is determined in the process of step S552 that the pattern is a non-reach variation pattern (step S552; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines a combination of fixed decorative symbols to be the final stop symbol constituting the non-reach combination (step S553). ). The effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random number value for determining a decorative symbol of a non-reach combination updated by, for example, an effect random counter provided in a predetermined area of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122, and outputs it to the ROM 121. The definite decorative symbol (decorative symbol of the non-reach combination) is determined by referring to the decorative symbol determination table of the non-reach combination prepared in advance.

When it is determined in the process of step S552 that the pattern is not a non-reach variation pattern (step S552; No), the effect control CPU 120 executes the stop symbol setting process (step 059AKS092).

FIG. 284-26 is a flowchart showing an example of the stop symbol setting process executed in step 059AKS092 of FIG. 284-24. In the stop symbol setting process, the execution setting of the time saving fanning effect and the execution setting of the return effect are performed, and when the special symbol display result (variable display result) is "missing (time saving)", the time saving symbol is finally stopped. Processing to make a symbol is performed. In addition, the time-saving symbol that is stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol is referred to as a time-saving symbol in order to distinguish it from the special symbol.

In the stop symbol setting process in FIGS. 284-26, the effect control CPU 120 displays a special figure based on a display result designation command (command stored in the display result designation command storage area) transmitted from the main board 11. It is determined whether the result is "loss (time reduction)" or "loss" and the fluctuation pattern of the time reduction loss (step 059AKS101).

If the special figure display result is "loss (time reduction)", or if it is "loss" and the variation pattern of the time reduction is (step 059AKS101; Yes), whether or not the effect control CPU 120 is in the time reduction. Is determined (step 059AKS102). In step 059AKS102, if it is determined whether or not the time is shortened by confirming whether or not the high base flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) is set to the ON state. good. When the time is not shortened (step 059AKS102; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines the lost symbol of the reach combination as the temporary stop symbol (step 059AKS103). Specifically, in the feature unit 059AK, if the special figure display result is "missing (time saving)" or "missing" and the variation pattern of the time saving gap, the reach effect of super reach is executed, and then. A time-saving fanning effect is executed. Therefore, in step 059AKS103, the symbol to be temporarily stopped and displayed as a result of the reach effect of the super reach is determined to be the lost symbol of the reach combination. In step 059AKS103, for example, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the decorative symbol of the reach combination updated by the random number circuit 124 or the random counter for effect is extracted, and the decorative of the reach combination prepared in advance in the ROM 121 is stored. The temporary stop symbol (decorative symbol of the reach combination) may be determined by referring to the symbol determination table or the like.

After executing the process of step 059AKS103, the effect control CPU 120 executes the time-saving fanning effect setting process for setting the time-saving fanning effect (step 059AKS104).

FIG. 284-27 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 059AKS104 of FIG. 284-26 as the time saving fanning effect setting process. In the time-saving fanning effect setting process shown in FIGS. 284-27, the effect control CPU 120 is shown in FIG. As shown in 284-28, the time-saving fanning effect pattern is determined (step 059AKS113), and the time-saving fanning effect setting process is completed. Although not shown in FIGS. 284-28, when the time-saving fanning effect setting process is executed due to the stop symbol setting process being performed in the drop-out time process in FIGS. 284-25, the time-saving effect setting process is executed. Since the time-saving type is unknown except for the fluctuation pattern of the ghost, it may be determined to use the time-saving fanning effect pattern, which is a special pattern for missing items (for example, the effect pattern of "success D" with an effect time of 5 seconds).

As shown in FIGS. 284-28, when the time saving types are "time saving A" and "time saving B", the time saving fanning effect pattern of "success A" with an effect time of 10 seconds is determined. When the time saving type is "time saving C", the time saving fanning effect pattern of "success B" having an effect time of 2 seconds is determined. When the time saving type is "time saving D", the time saving fanning effect pattern of "success C" having an effect time of 1 second is determined. In the case of a variation pattern of the time saving gas, it is determined to be a time saving fanning effect pattern of "failure" with an effect time of 10 seconds. The effect time is a time corresponding to the time-saving fanning effect period added in step 059AKS013 in FIG. 284-8 (see FIG. 284-9), and the effect control CPU 120 is a display result transmitted from the main board 11. The time corresponding to the time-saving fanning effect period is determined as the time-saving fanning effect time by the designated command and the variation pattern specification command. In addition, in the feature unit 059AK, since the production time is the same for the time-saving fanning effect pattern of "success A" and the time-saving fanning effect pattern of "failure", for example, the same character is displayed, and the time-saving pattern is displayed in "success A". Is the success pattern that finally stops and displays, and in "Failure", the time-saving symbol does not finally stop and displays, and the decorative symbol of the reach combination stops and displays. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention to whether or not it succeeds (whether or not the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed). Further, in the feature unit 059AK, as shown in FIG. 284-12, the ratio of the variable display result to "loss (time reduction)" differs depending on the type of reach effect to be executed. Similarly, the execution ratio differs depending on the type of reach effect to be executed. That is, with respect to the reach effect of Super Reach A, which has a high expectation of a big hit, the variable display result does not become "missing (time reduction)", and the time reduction fanning effect is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the special effect from being excessively executed, and it is possible to maintain the expectation that a specific display result will be obtained. Further, as shown in FIG. 284-12 (B), with respect to the fluctuation pattern of the time saving gasp that the variable display result does not become "loss (time saving)" even if the time saving fanning effect is executed, the jackpot expectation such as Super Reach C is achieved. A low reach effect is performed. Therefore, the rate at which the time-saving fanning effect is executed differs depending on the type of reach effect to be executed, and the rate at which the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of executing the time-saving fanning effect also differs.

After returning to FIG. 284-26 and executing the process of step 059AKS104, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the special figure display result is “missing (time saving)” (step 059AKS105). When the special symbol display result is "loss (time reduction)" (step 059AKS105; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines the decorative symbol of the reach combination including the time reduction symbol as the final stop symbol (step 059AKS106), and stops. The symbol setting process is terminated. In step 059AKS106, the time saving symbol in the mode corresponding to the time saving type may be determined as the final stop symbol (see FIGS. 284-32 (D-1) and 284-34 (M-1)).

In step 059AKS101, when the special figure display result is neither "missing (time saving)" nor "missing" and is not a variation pattern of the time saving gap (step 059AKS101; No), the effect control CPU 120 is a decorative pattern to be stopped and displayed this time. It is determined whether or not the variable display of is the variable display corresponding to the change of the first (first) second special figure performed after the end of the time reduction (step 059AKS107). For example, in step 059AKS107, the time reduction end time flag is set to the on state after the time reduction number is subtracted by 1 and becomes "0" in step 059AKS086A of FIG. 284-24, and the variable display performed immediately after that is displayed. Whether or not the display is variable corresponding to the second special figure may be determined by whether or not the second symbol change start designation command has been received.

In the case of variable display (variation) corresponding to the first (first) second special figure performed after the end of the time reduction (step 059AKS107; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 is stored after the end of the time reduction. Executes the return effect setting process to execute the return effect that suggests whether or not the hold for which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored in the hold storage corresponding to the variable display of the figure. (Step 059AKS108).

FIG. 284-29 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 059AKS108 of FIG. 284-26 as the return effect setting process. In the return effect setting process shown in FIGS. 284-29, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not there is a hold in the hold memory corresponding to the second special figure for which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)". , Of the effect control command reception buffers provided in the RAM 122, the determination is made by confirming the contents of the effect control command reception buffer corresponding to the second special figure (step 059AKS115).

When there is a hold in the hold memory corresponding to the second special figure in which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" (step 059AKS115; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 holds the hold corresponding to the second special figure. A return success pattern is set to notify that there is a hold in the memory in which the special figure display result is "missing (time saving)", that is, the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed again by any of the remaining holds (step 059AKS116). ), Ends the return effect setting process. On the other hand, when there is no hold (step 059AKS115; No) in which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" in the hold storage corresponding to the second special figure, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the second special figure. A return failure pattern is used to notify that there is no hold in the hold memory for which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)", that is, the time saving symbol will not be stopped and displayed again due to one of the remaining holds. It is set (step 059AKS117), and the return effect setting process is terminated. In addition, in the feature unit 059AK, both the return effect of the return success pattern and the return effect of the return failure pattern perform a common effect (an effect of inciting whether or not the time is shortened again), and as a result, a stop display is displayed. The combination of decorative patterns to be made is different.

After returning to FIG. 284-26 and executing the process of step 059AKS108, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the return effect pattern set in step 059AKS108 is a return success pattern (step 059AKS109). If it is a return success pattern (step 059AKS109; Yes), the decorative symbol of the reach combination including the time saving return symbol is determined as the final stop symbol (step 059AKS110), and the stop symbol setting process is terminated. The time saving return symbol is a symbol different from the time saving symbol determined as the final stop symbol in step 059AKS106 according to the time saving type (see FIG. 284-34 (K-1)). On the other hand, when it is not a return success pattern (step 059AKS109; No), when it is determined in step 059AKS102 that the time is being shortened (step 059AKS102; Yes), or when it is determined in step 059AKS105 that the special figure display result is "missing (time saving)". When it is determined that the display is not (step 059AKS105; No), or when it is determined that the display is not variable corresponding to the change of the first (first) second special figure performed after the end of the time reduction in step 059AKS107 (step 059AKS107; No). ), The effect control CPU 120 determines the combination of the final stop symbols constituting the reach combination (step 059AKS111). Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random number value for determining a decorative symbol of a reach combination updated by, for example, a random number circuit 124 or a random number counter for effect, and stores it in ROM 121 in advance. The definite decorative symbol (decorative symbol of the reach combination) is determined by referring to the decorative symbol determination table of the reach combination. In this way, even if it is determined in step 059AKS105 that the special symbol display result is "missing (time reduction)" in the stop symbol setting process, if the time reduction is in progress (step 059AKS102; Yes), the decorative symbol The final stop symbol of is a decorative symbol of the reach combination by the processing of step 059AKS111.

After returning to FIG. 284-24 and executing the process of step 059AKS092, the effect control CPU 120 changes the display mode of the active display in addition to the settings in the effect control pattern determined corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. After making settings for executing the effect during variable display including the variable display operation of the decorative pattern such as the effect to be made or a mini game (step S559), one of a plurality of patterns prepared in advance for the effect control pattern. (Step S560). The effect control CPU 120 selects and uses one of a plurality of prepared effect control patterns (special figure variation effect control pattern) corresponding to, for example, the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern determination result specification command. Set as a pattern. Further, when it is decided to execute the time saving fanning effect or the returning effect, the effect control pattern corresponding to the time saving fanning effect or the returning effect is selected and set as the usage pattern. If it is determined in the process of dropping out in step 059AKS090B that the variation pattern designation command cannot be normally received, it is not necessary to select the effect control pattern. In this case, the variable display of the decorative symbol is not performed and the previous variable display result remains, but it is waited until the symbol confirmation designation command is transmitted from the main board 11 side, and the symbol confirmation designation command is received. At the same time, the decorative design corresponding to the display result specification command may be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 059AKS090B that the variation pattern specification command has not been normally received, the effect control pattern dedicated to the time of omission may be selected in step S560. ..

Following the process of step S560, the effect control CPU 120 receives, for example, a predetermined area of the RAM 122 (for example, corresponding to the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern determination result designation command and the effect time in the case of executing the time-saving fanning effect. The initial value of the effect control process timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit or the like) is set (step S561). Specifically, in step S561, when the execution setting of the time saving fanning effect is made in the time saving fanning effect setting process of step 059AKS104 of FIG. 284-26, it is indicated by the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern determination result specification command. The initial value of the effect control process timer is set by adding the effect time of the time-saving fanning effect to the time. After the execution of step S561, the effect control CPU 120 sets the display screen of the image display device 5 to start the variation of the decorative pattern or the like (step S562). At this time, the effect control CPU 120, for example, issues a display control command specified by the display control data included in the effect control pattern (effect control pattern when the special figure fluctuates) determined in the process of step S560 to the VDP of the display control unit 123. In each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the display area of the image display device 5, the decorative symbols are started to change. Just do it.

After executing the process of step S562, the effect control CPU 120 updates the value of the effect process flag to "2", which is a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S563), and then the variable display start setting process. To finish.

FIG. 284-30 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display effect processing executed in step S172 of FIG. 282. When the variable display effect process shown in FIGS. 284-30 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variable display time has elapsed based on the timer value of the effect control process timer (step S801). ). The effect control CPU 120 updates, for example, the timer value of the effect control process timer (for example, 1 subtraction), and when the end code is read from the effect control pattern corresponding to the updated effect control process timer value. In addition, it may be determined that the variable display time has elapsed.

When it is determined in the process of step S801 that the variable display time has not elapsed (step S801; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the time reduction number display period for displaying the time reduction number (step 059AKS121). ). The time reduction number display period is a period for displaying the time reduction number updated in step 059AKS086A of FIG. 284-24, and may be predetermined in the effect control pattern determined in step S560. When it is determined that the time reduction number display period is reached (step 059AKS121; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 displays the time reduction number display control updated in step 059AKS086A in FIGS. 284-24 as the remaining time reduction number. (Step 059AKS122).

After executing the process of step 059AKS122, or when it is determined in step 059AKS121 that it is not the time reduction display period (step 059AKS121; No), whether or not the effect control CPU 120 is the reach effect period for executing the reach effect. (Step 059AKS123). The reach effect period may be predetermined, for example, in the effect control pattern determined according to the fluctuation pattern. When it is determined that the reach effect period is reached (step 059AKS123; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 controls to execute the reach effect (step 059AKS124).

After executing the process of step 059AKS124, or when it is determined in step 059AKS123 that it is not the reach effect period (step 059AKS123; No), the effect control CPU 120 is at the symbol temporary stop timing which is the timing to temporarily stop and display the decorative symbol. It is determined whether or not there is (step 059AKS125). The symbol temporary stop timing may be predetermined in the effect control pattern determined when the temporary stop symbol of the reach combination is determined in the stop symbol setting process of FIGS. 284-26 (step 059AKS103). When it is determined that it is the symbol temporary stop timing (step 059AKS125; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 displays the decorative symbol temporary stop display (step 059AKS126), and temporarily stops the decorative symbol of the reach combination determined in step 059AKS103. Display.

After executing the process of step 059AKS126, or when it is determined in step 059AKS125 that it is not the symbol temporary stop timing (step 059AKS125; No), the effect control CPU 120 is a time-saving fanning effect period for executing the time-saving fanning effect. It is determined whether or not (step 059AKS127). The time-saving fanning effect period may be predetermined, for example, in the effect control pattern determined according to the pattern set in the time-saving fanning effect setting process of FIGS. 284-27. When it is determined that the time-saving fanning effect period is reached (step 059AKS127; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 performs the time-saving fanning effect control for executing the time-saving fanning effect (step 059AKS128).

After executing the process of step 059AKS128, or when it is determined in step 059AKS126 that it is not the time-saving fanning effect period (step 059AKS126; No), whether or not the effect control CPU 120 is the return effect period for executing the return effect. (Step 059AKS129). The return effect period may be predetermined, for example, in the effect control pattern determined according to the pattern set in the return effect setting process of FIGS. 284-29. When it is determined that it is the return effect period (step 059AKS129; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 performs the return effect control for executing the return effect (step 059AKS130).

After executing the process of step 059AKS130, or when it is determined that it is not the return effect period (step 059AKS129; No), the effect control CPU 120 is based on the setting in the effect control pattern determined corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. In addition, control is performed to execute an effect during variable display including a variable display operation of a decorative pattern such as an effect of changing the display mode of the active display and a mini game (step S808), and the effect process during variable display is performed. finish.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S801 that the variable display time has elapsed (step S801; Yes), it is determined whether or not the symbol determination command transmitted from the main board 11 is normally received (step S809). At this time, if the symbol confirmation command has not been normally received (step 809; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the special symbol display result (variable display result) is "missing (time reduction)". (Step 059AKS137). When the special figure display result (variable display result) is not "loss (time reduction)" (step 059AKS137; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the effect process during variable display.

On the other hand, when the special figure display result (variable display result) is "loss (time reduction)" (step 059AKS137; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 sets "XXX" as the special time reduction number in the time reduction number (step). 059AKS138), after performing special time reduction notification control that displays "??? times" as notification of the number of time reductions (059AKS139), the variable display during effect processing is terminated. If the symbol confirmation command has not been received normally, the effect itself of notifying the number of time reductions may not be executed. In addition, even if the message is received normally, but inconsistency occurs, for example, the content indicated by the symbol confirmation command and the content indicated by the display result specification command do not match, the notification of the number of time reductions is similarly "?". The special time reduction notification control for displaying "?? times" may be performed, or the effect itself for notifying the time reduction number may not be executed.

When the symbol confirmation command is normally received in step S809 (step S809; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 transmits a predetermined display control command to the VDP or the like of the display control unit 123, for example. Control is performed to derive and display the final stop symbol (fixed decorative symbol) that is the display result in the variable display of the symbol (step S810). After executing the process of step 810, the effect control CPU 120 sets the confirmed symbol display time according to the received symbol confirmation command (step 059AKS131). In step 059AKS131, the confirmation time indicated by the commands 8F00 to 8F04 set for transmission in step 059AKS043 shown in FIG. 284-15 or step 059AKS044 may be set.

After executing the process of step 059AKS131, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the special figure display result (variable display result) is “missing (time reduction)” (step 059AKS132). When the special figure display result (variable display result) is "loss (time reduction)" (step 059AKS132; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 is specified by the received symbol confirmation command (FIG. 284-15 (B). ) Is set (step 059AKS133), and the time reduction number notification control for displaying the time reduction number (notifying the time reduction number) is performed (step 059AKS134).

After executing the process of step 059AKS134, or when it is determined in step 059AKS132 that the special figure display result (variable display result) is not "loss (time reduction)" (step 059AKS132; No), the effect control CPU 120 is right-handed. It is determined whether or not the erase command is received from the main board 11 side (step 059AKS135), and if it is received (step 059AKS135; Yes), the right-handed instruction display is erased (step 059AKS136). After executing the process of step 059AKS136, or when it is determined in step 059AKS135 that the right-handed erase command has not been received (step 059AKS135; No), the effect control CPU 120 waits for the value of the effect process flag. The value is updated to "3" corresponding to the processing (step S812), and the variable display during effect processing is terminated.

FIG. 284-31 is a timing chart showing each timing during variable display in the case where the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed and in other cases. FIGS. 284-31 (A) to (C) show an example of the case where the variable display result is "loss" (including loss (time reduction)). Specifically, FIG. 284-31 (A) shows an example in which a time-saving symbol (referred to as “time-saving A” as a time-saving type) is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the decorative symbol, and FIG. 284-31. (B) shows an example in which the time saving symbol is not stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the decorative symbol without executing the time saving fanning effect, and FIG. 284-31 (C) shows the time saving gasse. An example of a fluctuation pattern is shown. In the illustrated example, in order to facilitate understanding, all of FIGS. 284-31 (A) to (C) show an example in which Super Reach C is executed, and FIGS. 284-31 (A) and ( B) shows an example in which the fluctuation pattern of PB2-1 is selected, and FIG. 284-31 (C) shows an example in which the fluctuation pattern of PB2-5 is selected.

As shown in FIG. 284-31 (A), when the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the decorative symbol, when the variable display is started, the reach state is reached, and then the reach effect of Super Reach C is executed. To. Then, when the symbol temporary stop timing is reached, as shown in the figure, the decorative symbol of the reach combination is temporarily stopped and displayed (in this example, the decorative symbol of 757). And a short-time fanning production is performed. The time-saving fanning effect period L4 is 10 seconds, similarly to the time-saving fanning effect period L5 shown in FIG. 284-31 (C) (see FIGS. 284-9 and 284-10). When the symbol confirmation command is received after the time saving fanning effect is completed, the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol (in this example, the combination of the decorative symbols at 7:07), and the fluctuation changes after the confirmation symbol display period L1 elapses. finish. The confirmed symbol display period L1 is 10 seconds (see FIG. 284-15 (B)).

As shown in FIG. 284-31 (B), when the time-saving fanning effect is not executed and the time-saving symbol is not stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the decorative symbol, when the variable display is started, the reach state is reached. After that, the reach production of Super Reach C is executed. After that, when the symbol confirmation command is received (767 in this example). Then, after the lapse of the confirmed symbol display period L2, the fluctuation ends. The confirmed symbol display period L2 is 0.5 seconds (see FIG. 284-15 (A)), which is the same as the confirmed symbol display period L3 shown in FIG. 284-31 (C).

As shown in FIG. 284-31 (C), in the case of the variation pattern of the time saving gas, when the variable display is started, the reach state is reached, and then the reach effect of the super reach C is executed. Then, when the symbol temporary stop timing is reached, as shown in the figure, the decorative symbol of the reach combination is temporarily stopped and displayed (in this example, the decorative symbol of 757). And a short-time fanning production is performed. The time-saving fanning effect period L5 is 10 seconds, similarly to the time-saving fanning effect period L4 shown in FIG. 284-31 (A) (see FIGS. 284-9 and 284-10). When the symbol confirmation command is received after the time-saving fanning effect is completed, the lost symbol of the reach combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol (767 in this example). Then, after the lapse of the finalized symbol display period L3, the fluctuation ends. The confirmed symbol display period L3 is 0.5 seconds (see FIG. 284-15 (A)), which is the same as the confirmed symbol display period L2 shown in FIG. 284-31 (B).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 284-32 to 284-35, an operation example of the operation when the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed or when the time-saving fanning effect is executed will be described.

As shown in FIG. 284-32 (A), when the game state is the normal state after the reach effect of the super reach C is executed, the symbol temporary stop timing is shown in FIG. 284-32 (B-1). As shown, the decorative design of the reach combination is temporarily stopped and displayed. In the illustrated example, in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right", "7" is used as the decorative symbol 5La, "5" is used as the decorative symbol 5Ca, and the decorative symbol 5Ra is used, respectively. An example is shown when "7" is temporarily stopped and displayed. As shown in the figure, the symbol "5" as the decorative symbol 5Ca may be displayed in a visually recognizable manner while being shaken. Further, the present invention is not limited to the decorative symbol 5Ca in each decorative symbol display area 5C of the “middle”, and all the decorative symbols may remain shaken. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the time saving state, since it is determined as No in step 059AKS102 in FIG. , As shown in FIG. 284-32 (B-2), the lost symbol of the reach combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol. In the illustrated example, the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed as the special symbol display result (in the illustrated example, an example of the special symbol display result of "1" which is the time saving type of the time saving A is shown), while the decorative symbol is shown. Shows an example of the case where the time saving symbol is not stopped and displayed. As shown in FIG. 284-32 (B-2), after the lost symbol of the reach combination is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol, the fluctuation ends 0.5 seconds after the final stop symbol display period.

When the time-saving fanning effect period is reached from the state shown in FIG. 284-32 (B-1), the time-saving fanning effect is executed as shown in FIG. 284-32 (C). In the illustrated example, the message M1 of "maybe time saving !?" is displayed to indicate whether or not the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed. In addition, for example, two characters battle. Then, depending on whether or not the player wins, it may be possible to incite whether or not the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed.

Then, when the symbol confirmation command is received, the final stop symbol is displayed as shown in FIGS. 284-32 (D-1) or (D-2). In FIG. 284-32 (D-1), the variable display result is “loss (time reduction)”, and the symbol confirmation command of 8F01 shown in FIG. 284-15 (B) is received as the symbol confirmation command, and “time reduction A”. The example of the case where the time saving symbol 5Cb of the time saving type of is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol is shown, and the special symbol display result also shows the number "1" which is the time saving symbol of the time saving type of "time saving A". An example is shown when a special symbol is displayed as a special symbol display result. In the illustrated example, the display mode of the active display AHA is changed to the display mode of "green" before the time saving symbol 5Cb is stopped and displayed. The display mode may be changed immediately after the start of the effect, or may be changed during the reach effect of the super reach. On the other hand, in the case of the variation pattern of the time saving gas, since the symbol confirmation command of 8F00 shown in FIG. 284-15 (A) is received, as the final stop symbol as shown in FIG. 284-32 (D-2). The lost symbol of the reach combination is stopped and displayed. As the special symbol display result, as shown in the figure, a special symbol indicating the symbol "-" which is a lost symbol is displayed as the special symbol display result. Then, the fluctuation ends 0.5 seconds after the confirmed symbol display period. In the illustrated example, the display mode of the active display AHA is changed to the display mode of "blue" before the lost symbol of the reach combination is stopped and displayed. The display mode may be changed immediately after the start of the fanning effect, or may be changed during the reach effect of the super reach. In addition, regarding the active change effect that changes the display mode of the active display, depending on which display mode the display mode of the active display changes to, the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed even if the reach effect is the same type of super reach. The display mode of the active display may be changed so that the proportions to be displayed are different. The change destination of the display mode in the active change effect may be the same as the determination ratio in the normal hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (A). Further, unlike the normal time hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (A), the variable display result is different depending on whether the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" or the fluctuation pattern of the time reduction gap. It is also possible to set the ratio of the display mode of "green" or "red" to be higher in the case of "loss (shortening of time)".

By executing the process of step 059AKS134 in FIG. 284-30 in the state shown in FIG. 284-32 (D-1), as shown in FIG. M2 is performed. In this case, since the symbol confirmation command of 8F01 shown in FIG. 284-15 (B) is received as the symbol confirmation command, "time reduction 100 times!" Is displayed as the time reduction number display M2. When the process of step 059AKS139 in FIG. 284-30 is executed, "time reduction ??? times" is displayed as the special time reduction notification control, and the notification of the time reduction number (time reduction number) is restricted. Just do it. Then, when 10 seconds, which is the confirmed symbol display period specified by the symbol confirmation command of 8F01, elapses, as shown in FIG. 284-33 (F), the time is controlled to a shorter time state and a new variable display (hold display) is performed. (Variable display corresponding to HL1) is started. At that time, the hold display HL3 and HL2 shift to the right. Further, by the process of step 059AKS122 in FIG. 284-30, as shown in FIG. 284-33 (F), the time reduction number display M4 of "time reduction remaining 99 times" is displayed. Further, in step 059AKS090 of FIG. 284-24, the right-handed instruction display M3 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 284-33 (F) is performed.

After that, the variable display is performed a plurality of times in the time saving state. FIG. 284-33 (G) shows an example of the 81st variable display after the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed. In the time-saving state, since the game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening, the variable display corresponding to the second special figure is performed and the hold corresponding to the second special figure is stored. In the example shown in FIG. 284-33 (G), four reserved storages corresponding to the second special figure are stored, and four reserved displays HR1 to HR4 are displayed. Further, an example is shown in which the time reduction number display M4 of "time reduction remaining 19 times" is displayed. It should be noted that the right-handed instruction display of the mode displayed in FIG. 284-33 (F) ends with the first variable display after the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed, and the second and subsequent times are terminated with FIG. 284-33 (G). ), It is displayed as a right-handed instruction display M3 in an aspect that does not interfere with other effects.

Then, when the 100th variable display (100th variation in the time saving state) is completed after the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed, the time saving state ends. FIG. 284-33 (H) shows an example in which the decorative symbols 5La, 5Ca, and 5Ra, which are the final stop symbols constituting the non-reach combination, are stopped and displayed in the 100th variable display after the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed. Is shown. After the decorative symbols 5La, 5Ca, and 5Ra, which are the final stop symbols, are stopped and displayed, the fluctuation ends 0.5 seconds after the confirmed symbol display period specified by the symbol confirmation command of 8F00, and the time saving state ends. When the time saving state ends, the right-handed erase command is received from the main board 11 side, so that the process of step 059AKS136 shown in FIG. 284-30 is performed, and right-handed as shown in FIG. 284-33 (H). The instruction display M3 will be erased. In this state, as shown in the figure, four reserved storages corresponding to the second special figure are stored, four of the reserved displays HR1 to HR4 are displayed, and the variable corresponding to the reserved display HR1 is displayed. The period from the start of the display to the end of the variable display corresponding to HR4 is the remaining hold period).

Subsequently, when the time saving state ends and the normal state is reached, as shown in FIG. 284-33 (I), the variable display corresponding to the hold display HR1 is started. In the illustrated example, an example is shown in which the variable display result is "missing" (an example that is not "missing (time reduction)" is also shown). In the feature unit 059AK of this embodiment, although it is in the normal state, the special figure display result is "missing (time saving)" in the variable display corresponding to the hold of the second special figure stored at the end of the time saving state. Since the ratio is high (see FIGS. 284-5 (A) and (B)), the ratio of being controlled to the time saving state again is high. Therefore, although it is in a normal state during the remaining hold period, the left-handed instruction display is not performed as shown in the figure, and the right-handed instruction display and the left-handed instruction display are repeatedly displayed, which confuses the player. It is prevented from letting you do it. As shown in FIG. 284-34 (N-2), the left-handed instruction display is performed in the first variable display performed after the end of the remaining hold period.

The variable display is the first variable display in the second special figure performed after the end of the time reduction, and since the execution setting of the return effect is performed in the process of step 059AKS108 of FIG. 284-26, the return effect is performed. During the period, the return effect is executed as shown in FIG. 284-34 (J). In the return effect, for example, whether or not a hold for which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored depending on whether or not the predetermined mission is cleared (variable corresponding to the remaining hold HR2 to HR4). Whether or not the display result is "missing (time reduction)"), that is, an effect suggesting whether or not the time reduction return symbol is stopped and displayed may be executed. If it is a return success pattern, the predetermined mission is cleared and the time saving return symbol is stopped and displayed, while if it is a return failure pattern, the predetermined mission ends in failure and the time saving return symbol is not displayed as a stop. The combination of decorative symbols constituting the reach may be stopped and displayed as the final stop. In addition, there may be a plurality of types of predetermined missions, and the success rate may differ depending on the type of the mission. If the variable display corresponding to the hold display HR1 is "missing (time reduction)", it is determined as Yes in step 059AKS101 of FIG. 284-26, so that the return effect is not executed, but the return effect is executed. You may try to do it. In this case, the time-saving fanning effect may be executed after the return effect.

When the hold in which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored, that is, when the return is a successful pattern, the process of step 059AKS110 in FIG. As shown, the combination of decorative symbols including the time reduction return symbol 5Cc is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol, and it is notified that there is a hold in which the variable display result is "miss (time reduction)" in the stored hold. Will be done. In this example, the case where the variable display result of the variable display corresponding to the hold display HR4 is "loss (time reduction)" (more specifically, the time reduction type of "time reduction D") is shown.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 284-34 (L-1), the variable display corresponding to the hold display HR2 is executed. At this time, as shown in the figure, the time-saving return small symbol M5 that makes it visible that the time-saving return symbol 5Cc has been stopped and displayed may be displayed in a manner that does not interfere with other effects. According to this, it becomes possible to visually recognize that the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed while the remaining hold is in progress, so that the player can be given a sense of security.

Then, in the variable display corresponding to the hold display HR4, the variable display result of the variable display corresponding to the hold display HR4 is "loss (time reduction)" (the time reduction type is "time reduction D"), so that it is a symbol confirmation command. Upon receiving the symbol confirmation command of 8F04 shown in FIG. 284-15 (B), as shown in FIG. 284-34 (M-1), the time saving symbol 5Cb of the time saving type of "time saving D" is stopped as the final stop symbol. Is displayed. As for the special figure display result, unlike FIG. 284-32 (D-1), a special symbol showing the number "8" corresponding to the time saving symbol of the time saving type of "time saving D" is displayed as the special figure display result. The number. In the illustrated example, the display mode of the active display AHA is changed to the display mode of "green" before the time saving symbol 5Cb is stopped and displayed.

By executing the process of step 059AKS134 in FIG. 284-30 in the state shown in FIG. 284-34 (M-1), as shown in FIG. The number of times display M2 is performed. In this case, since the symbol confirmation command of 8F04 shown in FIG. 284-15 (B) is received as the symbol confirmation command, "time reduction 20 times!" Is displayed as the time reduction number display M2. Then, when 2 seconds, which is the confirmed symbol display period specified by the symbol confirmation command of 8F04, elapses, the fluctuation ends, and as shown in FIG. Variable display (variable display corresponding to the hold display HL3) is started. Further, by the process of step 059AKS122 in FIG. 284-30, as shown in FIG. 284-35 (O), the time reduction number display M4 of "time reduction remaining 19 times" is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 284-35 (O) in step 059AKS090 of FIG. 284-24, a simple right-handed instruction display M3, which is a mode that is less conspicuous than the mode shown in FIG. 284-33 (F), is displayed. Will be done.

On the other hand, when the hold in which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" is not stored, that is, in the case of the return failure pattern, the process of step 059AKS111 in FIG. ), The decorative symbols 5La, 5Ca, and 5Ra of the reach combination are stopped and displayed as the final stop symbols, and the fluctuation ends 0.5 seconds after the confirmed symbol display period specified by the symbol confirmation command of 8F00. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 284-34 (L-2), the variable display corresponding to the hold display HR2 is executed. At this time, unlike FIG. 284-34 (L-1), the time-saving return small symbol M5 is not displayed because it was a return effect of the return failure pattern.

Then, as shown in FIG. 284-34 (M-2), the decorative symbols 5La, 5Ca, and 5Ra, which are the final stop symbols constituting the non-reach combination, are stopped and displayed, and the confirmed symbols specified by the symbol confirmation command of 8F00 are displayed. After 0.5 seconds of the display period, the fluctuation ends and the remaining hold period ends. When the remaining hold period ends, a left-handed instruction command is transmitted from the main board 11 in step 059AKS074 of FIG. 284-18.

Then, when the variable display corresponding to the hold display HL3 is started, the process of step 059AKS088 in FIG. 284-24 causes "return to left-handed!" As shown in FIG. The left-handed instruction display M6 is displayed. In this way, the left-handed instruction display is performed in the variable display to be executed next after the variable display corresponding to the hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure remaining after the end of the time reduction is completed.

FIG. 284-36 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing in the information output processing performed in the information output processing in step S23 of FIG. 278. In the process in the information output process shown in FIGS. 284-36, for example, a process of outputting signals such as jackpot information, start information, and probability fluctuation information supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. I do. When the process in the information output process shown in FIGS. 284-36 is started, the CPU 103 outputs a signal indicating a special figure display result or a normal figure display result as a display signal output process (step S1801). After executing the process of step S1801, the CPU 103 executes the drive signal output process (step S1802) and outputs the drive signal of the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82.

Subsequently, the CPU 103 executes the external information output process (step S1803), and ends the process in the information output process. In step S1803, the jackpot signal 1 indicating that the jackpot is in progress, the jackpot signal 2 indicating that the jackpot is in the middle or the time reduction state (the prize is being awarded), the jackpot signal 3 indicating that the time reduction state is in progress, and the jackpot signal 3. Various signals such as a symbol confirmation signal indicating that the fluctuation has ended are output.

FIG. 284-37 is a timing chart showing the output timings of various signals output by the external information output process in step S1803 of FIG. 284-36. Specifically, FIG. 284-37 (A) shows the output timing of various signals in the case where the time saving state is reached due to the end of the jackpot gaming state, and FIG. 284-37 (B) shows the time saving state due to the time saving symbol stop. The output timings of various signals in the case of

As shown in FIG. 284-37 (A), when the time is shortened due to the end of the jackpot gaming state, first, a symbol confirmation signal indicating the jackpot symbol stop is output, and thereby (the output of the symbol confirmation signal is stopped). Then, the jackpot signal 1 and the jackpot signal 2 are output at the same timing. Then, the output of the jackpot signal 1 is stopped at the end of the jackpot gaming state, but the jackpot signal 3 is output because the time is shortened at that timing. Then, with the passage of time, a symbol confirmation signal indicating a lost symbol stop is output, and when the symbol confirmation signal indicating a jackpot symbol stop is output again without ending the time saving state, the jackpot signal 1 is output and the jackpot signal 3 is output. Stops output. Since it is a big hit in the time saving state, the output of the big hit signal 2 is continued as shown in the figure. Then, the output of the jackpot signal 1 is stopped at the end of the jackpot gaming state, but the jackpot signal 3 is output because the time is shortened at that timing. After that, when the final variable display of the predetermined number of time reductions is completed with the passage of time, a symbol confirmation signal indicating the loss symbol stop is output, and the time reduction state ends at the timing when the output of the symbol confirmation signal is stopped. , The outputs of the jackpot signal 2 and the jackpot signal 3 are stopped at the same timing.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 284-37 (B), when the time saving state is reached due to the time saving symbol stop, first, the symbol confirmation signal indicating the time saving symbol stop is output, and thereby (the output of the symbol confirmation signal is stopped). Then, the jackpot signal 2 and the jackpot signal 3 are output at the same timing. Then, with the passage of time, a symbol confirmation signal indicating a lost symbol stop is output, and when a symbol confirmation signal indicating a jackpot symbol stop is output without ending the time saving state, a jackpot is output at the timing when the output of the symbol confirmation signal is stopped. The signal 1 is output, and the output of the jackpot signal 3 is stopped. Then, the output of the jackpot signal 1 is stopped at the end of the jackpot gaming state, but the time is shortened again at that timing, so that the jackpot signal 3 is output. As shown in the figure, the jackpot signal 2 is continuously output. After that, when the final variable display of the predetermined number of time reductions is completed with the passage of time, a symbol confirmation signal indicating the loss symbol stop is output, and the time reduction state ends at the timing when the output of the symbol confirmation signal is stopped. , The outputs of the jackpot signal 2 and the jackpot signal 3 are stopped at the same timing. In this way, since the outputs of the jackpot signal 2 and the jackpot signal 3 are stopped at the same timing, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of deviation and prevent confusion, and the external device is suitable for a time saving state or continuous operation. The state of the villa can be specified. After that, when the symbol confirmation signal indicating the time saving symbol stop is output again, the jackpot signal 2 and the jackpot signal 3 are output at the same timing when the output of the symbol confirmation signal is stopped.

As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the feature unit 059AK in this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

In the process of step S1240 shown in FIG. 284-4, the CPU 103 can determine "missing (time saving)" as the special figure display result regardless of whether or not the game state is the time saving state, and the special figure display result. When "Loss (time reduction)" (special display result) is derived and displayed, when it is in the normal state, it is controlled to the time reduction state (travel-specific state) in the next special figure game (variable display), while the time reduction. When it is in the state, the control regarding the game state based on the derivation and display of the "loss (time reduction)" is not performed (the new time reduction control is not performed). Further, when the effect control CPU 120 derives and displays "loss (time reduction)" as a special figure display result, in the normal state, the time reduction as the final stop symbol of the decorative symbol in step 059AKS106 of FIGS. 284-26. While the use symbol is stopped and displayed, when the time is shortened, the final stop symbol constituting the reach combination is stopped and displayed in step 059AKS111 of FIG. 284-26. According to this, it is possible to perform control according to the game state when the special display result is displayed, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 284-32 (B-2) and (D-1), as a "loss (time reduction)" (special display result) in the case where the gaming state is the normal state and the case where the time reduction state is achieved. The special figure display result of is a common display result (special figure display result showing the number of "1" corresponding to the time reduction type of "time reduction A"), while the variable display result of the decorative symbol is in the game state. In the normal state, the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the decorative symbol in step 059AKS106 of FIG. 284-26, while in the time saving state, the reach is reached in step 059AKS111 of FIG. 284-26. The final stop symbol that composes the combination is stopped and displayed. According to this, it is possible to prevent a deterioration of the game entertainment when the special display result is displayed in the special state.

Further, in the process of step 059AKS104 of FIG. 284-26, the execution setting of the time saving fanning effect for inciting whether or not the time saving symbol indicating that the time saving symbol is controlled to be controlled to the time saving state from the next variable display is stopped is set. Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a time-saving fanning effect. Then, the effect control CPU 120 does not perform the process of step 059AKS104 when the gaming state is in the normal state, and does not perform the process of step 059AKS104 when the game state is in the time saving state. Therefore, in the case of a time saving state (special state), the time saving fanning effect is not executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent a deterioration of the game entertainment when the special display result is displayed in the special state.

Further, when the "loss (time reduction)" (special display result) is derived and displayed as the special figure display result, the CPU 103 is in the normal state, as shown in FIG. 284-15, in the process of step 059AKS043. While the decorative symbol stop command with the fixed time shown in FIG. 284-15 (B) is transmitted, if Yes is determined in step 059AKS041, the decorative symbol stop command with the fixed time set to 0.5 seconds is transmitted. That is, when "missing (time reduction)" (special display result) is derived and displayed as the special figure display result, the variable display result is displayed until it is confirmed in the normal state and the special state. Time (fixed time) is different. According to this, it is possible to prevent a deterioration of the game entertainment when the special display result is displayed in the special state.

Further, in the process of step S1240 shown in FIG. 284-4, the CPU 103 can determine "missing (time saving)" as the special figure display result regardless of whether or not the game state is the time saving state. When "Loss (time reduction)" (special display result) is derived and displayed as the display result, when it is in the normal state, it is controlled to the time reduction state (travel-specific state) in the next special figure game (variable display). , In the time saving state, the control regarding the game state based on the derivation and display of the "loss (time saving)" is not performed (the new time saving control is not performed). Then, as shown in FIG. 284-5, in the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table, the second special figure display result determination table "misses" the special figure display result. The determination data is assigned so that the probability of being determined to control the time reduction state from the next variable display as "time reduction)" is high. Further, the effect control CPU 120 returns based on whether or not the hold of "loss (time saving)" is stored in the hold stored at the end of the time saving state by the process of step 059AKS108 of FIG. 284-26. It is possible to execute the production. Then, the effect control CPU 120 can display a right-handed instruction in the process of step 059AKS090 in FIG. 284-24, and until it receives the left-handed instruction command transmitted in step 059AKS074 in FIG. The left-handed instruction display is not performed until all the variable displays corresponding to the hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure stored at the end of the time saving state are finished. According to this, it is possible to perform control according to the game state when the special display result is displayed, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 can display the left-handed instruction display in step 059AKS088 of FIG. 284-24 by receiving the left-handed instruction command in the normal state. Then, the left-handed instruction command is transmitted in step 059AKS074 of FIG. 284-18, that is, when all the variable displays corresponding to the hold of the second special figure stored at the end of the time saving state are completed. The effect control CPU 120 displays the left-handed instruction display in step 059AKS088 of FIG. 284-24 in the variable display performed after receiving the left-handed instruction command, that is, after the variable display corresponding to the remaining hold is completed. .. According to this, suitable launch notification becomes possible, and the progress of the game can be smoothly performed.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits different right-handed instruction commands depending on whether or not the remaining hold period is reached, as in the processes of step 059AKS054 and step 059AKS057 of FIG. 284-16. Then, on the side of the effect control CPU 120, right-handed instruction display in the mode corresponding to the received command is performed in step 059AKS090 of FIG. 284-24. According to this, it is possible to prevent the player from being annoyed and deteriorating the game entertainment.

In the return effect, the effect control CPU 120 stores, for example, whether or not a hold for which the special figure display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored depending on whether or not a predetermined mission is cleared (HR2 which is a remaining hold). -Whether or not the variable display result corresponding to HR4 is "missing (time reduction)"), that is, whether or not the time reduction return symbol is stopped and displayed. The return effect includes a return effect of the return success pattern and a return effect of the return failure pattern, both of which aim to clear a predetermined mission to determine whether or not the time is shortened again. The combination of decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed differs depending on whether or not the predetermined mission is cleared as a result of executing the production). According to this, it is possible to attract the player's attention after performing a common effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-7, when the variable display result of the remaining hold is "loss (time reduction)", the CPU 103 determines "time reduction C" or "time reduction D" as the time reduction type. Then, in the process of step 059AKS113 of FIG. 284-27, the effect control CPU 120 is determined as a time-saving fanning effect pattern that executes different patterns of time-saving fanning effect according to the time-saving type, as shown in FIG. 284-28. That is, the variable display result corresponding to the first special figure in the normal state is "missing (time saving)", and the variable display result corresponding to the second special figure of the remaining hold is "missing". (Time saving) ”is executed, and a different pattern of time saving fanning effect is executed. According to this, since different patterns of production are executed depending on the situation, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits a right-handed erase command in the variable display of the time saving end times by the process of step 059AKS066 in FIG. 284-17. Then, at the end of the variable display of the time saving end time, the effect control CPU 120 erases the right-handed instruction display by the process of step 059AKS136 in FIG. 284-30 based on the command. Therefore, the right-handed instruction display is erased during the remaining hold period. Further, the CPU 103 transmits different right-handed instruction commands depending on whether or not the remaining hold period is reached, as in the processes of step 059AKS054 and step 059AKS057 of FIG. 284-16. Then, on the side of the effect control CPU 120, in the first variable display controlled to the time saving state (variable display performed after the variable display in which the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed), the relevant step 059AKS090 in FIG. A right-handed instruction is displayed according to the received command. According to this, suitable launch notification becomes possible, and the progress of the game can be smoothly performed.

Further, the CPU 103 has a big hit signal 1 indicating that it is in a big hit, a big hit signal 2 indicating that it is in a big hit middle or a time saving state (it is in a special prize), and a time saving by the process of step S1803 in FIG. 284-36. Various signals such as a jackpot signal 3 indicating that the machine is in a state and a symbol confirmation signal indicating that the fluctuation has ended can be output to, for example, a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Then, when the time saving state is reached due to the time saving symbol stop, as shown in FIG. 284-37 (B), a symbol confirmation signal indicating the time saving symbol stop is output, and a big hit signal is output at the timing when the output of the symbol confirmation signal is stopped. Is output. According to this, it is possible to suitably specify the time saving state and the consecutive villa state with an external device.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-37 (B), the CPU 103 outputs the jackpot signal 2 and the jackpot signal 3 at the same timing when the output of the symbol confirmation signal corresponding to the end of the time saving state is stopped. Stop. According to this, it is possible to suitably specify the time saving state and the consecutive villa state with an external device.

Further, the CPU 103 determines the fluctuation pattern according to the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 284-12. As shown in the figure, when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" (special display result) (when the loss fluctuation pattern determination table when the time reduction start flag is on is selected), the super reach A with the highest jackpot expectation The decision value is not assigned, and the decision value is assigned so that the rate of "loss (time reduction)" differs depending on the type of super reach to be executed. Then, the CPU 103 transmits different right-handed instruction commands depending on whether or not the remaining hold period is reached, as in the processes of step 059AKS054 and step 059AKS057 of FIG. 284-16. Then, on the side of the effect control CPU 120, in the first variable display controlled to the time saving state (variable display performed after the variable display in which the time saving symbol is stopped and displayed), the relevant step 059AKS090 in FIG. A right-handed instruction is displayed according to the received command. According to this, it is possible to perform control according to the game state when the special display result is displayed, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 284-11 and 11-12, when the reach effect of Super Reach B or Super Reach C is executed, when it becomes a big hit, when it becomes a loss (time reduction), or when it simply becomes a loss. The determined values are assigned so as to have a plurality of variable display results. According to this, the variation of the production result increases and the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits a variation pattern designation command indicating the determined variation pattern and a display result specification command indicating the determined special figure display result (variable display result), and the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect based on these commands. .. The effect control CPU 120 determines that the variation pattern is such that the reach effect of the super reach B is performed by the received variation pattern designation command, and even if it is determined as No in step S552 of FIG. 284-24, the display is displayed. Based on the result designation command, whether or not to execute the process of step 059AKS104 or step 059AKS106 differs depending on whether the case of determining Yes or No in 059AKS101 of FIG. 284-26. That is, even when a variation pattern command of common effect contents such as executing the reach effect of super reach B or super reach C is received, a different effect is executed depending on the content of the display result designation command. According to this, the variation of the production result increases and the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, in the process of step 059AKS104 of FIG. 284-26, the execution setting of the time-saving fanning effect (special effect) for inciting whether or not the time-saving symbol indicating that the time-saving symbol is controlled to be controlled to the time-saving state from the next variable display is stopped and displayed. Is performed, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a time-saving fanning effect. Then, the effect control CPU 120 executes the time-saving fanning effect after executing the reach effect common to the case where the time-saving fanning effect is executed and the case where the time-saving fanning effect is not executed. According to this, since the special production is executed, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 284-12, since the ratio of the variable display result to "loss (time reduction)" differs depending on the type of reach effect to be executed, the time reduction fanning effect is also executed in the same manner. The execution rate differs depending on the type of reach effect to be performed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the special effect from being excessively executed, and it is possible to maintain the expectation that a specific display result will be obtained.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-12 (B), regarding the fluctuation pattern of the time saving gasp that the variable display result does not become "loss (time saving)" even if the time saving fanning effect is executed, the jackpot expectation such as Super Reach C is obtained. A low reach effect is performed. Therefore, the rate at which the time-saving fanning effect is executed differs depending on the type of reach effect to be executed, and the rate at which the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of executing the time-saving fanning effect also differs. According to this, it is possible to prevent the special effect from being excessively executed, and it is possible to maintain the expectation that a specific display result will be obtained.

Further, in the effect control CPU 120, the rate at which the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed differs depending on which display mode the active display display mode changes, even if the reach effect is the same type of super reach. Change the display mode of the active display. According to this, it is possible to prevent the special effect from being excessively executed, and it is possible to maintain the expectation that a specific display result will be obtained.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits a variation pattern designation command indicating the determined variation pattern and a display result specification command indicating the determined special figure display result (variable display result), and the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect based on these commands. .. Even if the content of the received display result specification command is different, the effect control CPU 120 may display a special figure display result (variable) if the received variation pattern specification command is a variation pattern for performing the reach effect of Super Reach B. Regardless of the display result), the common reach effect of Super Reach B is executed. According to this, the effect can be suitably executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-7, the number of time reductions controlled to the time reduction state differs depending on the time reduction type, and as shown in FIG. 284-12, the super reach effect executed according to the time reduction type is performed. The proportions are different. Further, as shown in FIGS. 284-28, the pattern of the time-saving fanning effect to be executed differs depending on the time-saving type. According to this, it is possible to attract the attention of the player because the number of time reductions thereafter differs depending on the effect to be executed.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits a display result designation command in step S268 of FIG. 284-8, and sets a transmission of a decorative symbol stop command in step 059AKS021 of FIG. 284-15. The effect control CPU 120 sets the execution of the effect based on the content of the received display result specification command in the stop symbol setting process of FIG. 284-26, and receives the received symbol confirmation command in the process of step 059AKS133 of FIG. 284-30. Set the number of time reductions specified by. According to this, the effect control can be suitably performed.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the contents of the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122 in the process of step 059AKS090A in FIG. When it is determined whether or not reception is normal, and if reception is not normal, the missing time processing shown in FIG. 284-25 is executed, and either the display result specification command or the variation pattern specification command is missed. , It is prohibited to execute a time-saving effect such as a time-saving fanning effect, such as stopping and displaying a predetermined decorative pattern at the time of missing. According to this, it is possible to suitably perform the production while preventing the deterioration of the game entertainment.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the effect control CPU 120 could not be normally received in the process of step 059AKS090A in FIG. 284-24, the variation pattern specification command can be normally received and is specified by the variation pattern specification command. When the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern for determining the time reduction or a fluctuation pattern for the time reduction, the stop symbol setting process is executed in step 059AKS095 in FIG. It is possible. According to this, it is possible to suitably perform the production while preventing the deterioration of the game entertainment.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the number of time reductions by the received symbol determination command in the process of step 059AKS133 in FIGS. 284-30. Then, when the symbol confirmation command cannot be received normally, the special time reduction number notification control that displays "??? times" as the notification of the time reduction number in the process of step 059AKS139 is performed to execute the time reduction number notification. Restrict. According to this, it is possible to suitably perform the production while preventing the deterioration of the game entertainment.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the hold display change effect in the pre-reading notice setting process shown in FIGS. 284-22. Then, in the hold storage currently stored in step 059AKS082, the variable display result is a hold that is a "big hit", a hold that is a "loss (time reduction)", or a hold that is a "loss" and the fluctuation pattern is "time reduction". When the hold of the fluctuation pattern is stored, the hold change determination table at the time of limitation shown in FIG. 284-23 (B) is selected, and the hold display change effect is executed. That is, when a hold whose variable display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored in the hold storage currently stored, the execution of the hold display change effect is restricted. According to this, it is possible to perform control according to the game state when the special display result is displayed, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the hold storage currently stored in step 059AKS082, the variable display result is a hold that is a "big hit", a hold that is a "loss (time reduction)", or a hold that is a "loss" and the fluctuation pattern is "time reduction". When the hold of the fluctuation pattern is stored, the hold change determination table at the time of limitation shown in FIG. 284-23 (B) is selected and the hold display change effect is executed. Even when a hold whose display result is "big hit" is stored, as in the case where a hold whose variable display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored in the currently stored hold storage, FIG. 284 -23 (B) is selected to restrict the execution of the hold display change effect by selecting the hold change determination table at the time of restriction. According to this, it is possible to suppress the deviation of the production due to the transition of the state, and it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the game entertainment.

Further, in the hold storage currently stored in step 059AKS082, the variable display result is a hold that is a "big hit", a hold that is a "loss (time reduction)", or a hold that is a "loss" and the fluctuation pattern is "time reduction". When the hold of the fluctuation pattern is stored, the hold change determination table at the time of limitation shown in FIG. 284-23 (B) is selected and the hold display change effect is executed. Even when the display result is "missing" and the holding of the fluctuation pattern whose fluctuation pattern is "time saving" is stored, the execution of the hold display change effect is restricted. According to this, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the entertainment interest of the game when the production related to the state transition is performed.

As shown in FIG. 284-23 (B), the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the hold display change effect when the hold display change effect is restricted, or even if it does, the hold display change in the display mode of "blue". Perform the production. That is, the hold display change effect indicating the degree of expectation higher than the display mode of "green" is not executed. According to this, it is possible to suppress the deviation of the production due to the transition of the state, and it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIG. 284-23 (B), the effect control CPU 120 does not execute a hold display change effect of a type that changes to a display mode such as "green" or "red" when the hold display change effect is restricted. .. According to this, since the execution of the specific type of advance notice effect is restricted, it is possible to prevent the player from deteriorating the interest in the game without giving the player a sense of unnecessary expectation.

(Modification example of feature part 059AK)
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 284-5, an example is shown in which the time saving symbol as a special figure display result is a part of "loss", but this is an example. For example, as shown in FIGS. 284-38, a part of the small hit symbol may be a time-saving symbol. In this case, the time saving control may be performed after the end of the small hit game state, and the right-handed instruction display may be performed in the first variable display performed after the end of the small hit game state. Further, as in the above embodiment, even when the small hit symbol, which is the time saving symbol, is stopped and displayed again in the time saving state in the time saving state, the time saving state is not newly controlled, and the effect control CPU 120 is used. Instead of the small hit symbol including the time saving symbol, the combination of the decorative symbols constituting the small hit may be simply stopped and displayed.

Further, in the above embodiment, when all the variable displays corresponding to the remaining hold are completed, the left-handed instruction command is transmitted in the process of step 059AKS074 in FIG. 284-18, and the remaining hold is performed by the effect control CPU 120. An example of performing a left-handed instruction display in the first variable display performed after the end of the variable display corresponding to the above is shown. There may be a second aspect that is inconspicuous to the player, and the left-handed instruction display of the second aspect may be performed in the first variable display performed after the end of the variable display corresponding to the remaining hold. The left-handed instruction display is performed for 5 seconds each time from the reception of the left-handed instruction command to, for example, four variable displays, but with the passage of time, from the second aspect. It may change to the first aspect. Further, the left-handed instruction display is not limited to a simple display, and may include voice, lighting of a lamp, and the like (that is, left-handed notification for notifying left-handed). Then, for example, in the first aspect, the other output sound is erased and the sound for notifying the left-handed is output, while in the second aspect, the sound for notifying the left-handed is output without erasing the other output sound. do it.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the return effect is performed when the variable display (variation) corresponding to the first (first) second special figure performed after the end of the time reduction is performed, but this is an example. Is. The execution timing of the return effect is not limited to the first variable display after the end of the time reduction. The timing of any of the first to third variable displays performed after the end of the time reduction may be determined by lottery as the execution timing of the return effect. In addition, after the return effect of the return failure pattern is executed, the pattern is switched to the return success pattern, and after the return effect of the return failure pattern is executed, the return effect of the return success pattern is performed in the next variable display. The return effect may be executed a plurality of times until a success pattern is reached over the display.

In the above embodiment, there is an example in which the pattern of the time saving fanning effect executed according to the time saving type is different, that is, the variable display result corresponding to the remaining hold is "missing (time saving)" (time saving C or D time saving). An example is shown in which the pattern of the time saving fanning effect is different depending on the type and the case where the variable display result of the first special figure in the normal state is "loss (time saving)" (time saving type A or B). This is an example. There are cases where the variable display result corresponding to the remaining hold is "loss (time reduction)" and cases where the variable display result of the first special figure in the normal state is "loss (time reduction)". , The pattern of the time-saving fanning effect may be common.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 284-15, when the variable display result corresponding to the remaining hold is "loss (time reduction)" (time reduction type of time reduction C or D), in the normal state. An example in which the time (fixed time) from the display of the variable display result to the confirmation is different depending on the case where the variable display result of the first special figure is "loss (time reduction)" (time reduction type of time reduction A or B). Is shown, but this is just an example. When the variable display result corresponding to the remaining hold is "loss (time reduction)" (time reduction type of time reduction C or D), the variable display result of the first special figure in the normal state is "loss (time reduction)". The fixed time may be the same depending on the case (time reduction type A or B). According to this, it is possible to suppress the increase of control data.

For example, the fixed time when the variable display result corresponding to the remaining hold is "loss (time reduction)" is the same as the case where the variable display result of the first special figure in the normal state is "loss (time reduction)". It may be time. According to this, by lengthening the period between the normal state and the time saving state, it is possible to clearly notify the player that the time saving state will be achieved.

In addition, when the variable display result corresponding to the remaining hold is "loss (time reduction)" (time reduction type of time reduction C or D), the variable display result of the first special figure in the normal state is "loss (time reduction)". (FIGS. 284-35 (N-1), FIG. 284-33 (E)) are shown, for example, in a fixed time in the case of (time saving type A or B). However, these may be in different embodiments.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the right-handed instruction display is erased after the end of the time saving state and the right-handed instruction display is not performed during the remaining hold period, but this is an example. The right-handed instruction display is not limited to a simple display, but may include voice, lighting of a lamp, etc. (that is, it may be a right-handed notification that notifies right-handed), and an image is displayed during the remaining hold period. The right-handed lamp indicating right-handedness may be turned on without displaying and outputting the sound in the device 5.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 284-37 (B), when the final variable display of the predetermined number of time reductions is completed, a symbol confirmation signal indicating a loss symbol stop is output, and the symbol confirmation is performed. Since the time saving state ends at the timing when the signal output is stopped, an example in which the output with the jackpot signal 3 is stopped at the timing is shown, but this is an example. For example, the variable display result corresponding to the hold (remaining hold) of the second special figure stored at the end of the time reduction has a high ratio of "missing (time reduction)", so that even if the time reduction state ends, it remains. The output of the jackpot signal 3 may not be stopped until the variable display corresponding to the hold is completed. The same applies to the jackpot signal 2. According to this, it is possible to suitably specify the time saving state and the consecutive villa state with an external device.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which a time-saving fanning effect is performed after the reach effect of the super reach, and it is suggested whether or not the time-saving symbol is stopped, but this is an example. For example, as a result of the reach effect, the results of a big hit (including a small hit), a time-saving symbol stop, and a loss may be displayed. According to this, the variation of the execution result of the reach effect increases, and the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)", an example of adding the time reduction fanning effect period to the fluctuation pattern is shown, but in addition to this, for example, the "revival jackpot" is variable. A display result is provided, the same fluctuation pattern as when the variable display result is "loss (time reduction)" can be selected, the revival effect period to be executed after the reach effect is added (for example, 20 seconds), and a big hit is configured after the revival effect. The symbol to be used (special symbol and corresponding decorative symbol) may be stopped and displayed. According to this, the variation of the production can be increased and the game entertainment can be improved. Further, when the variable display result is "revival jackpot", a process of adding the revival effect period may be executed after step S262 of FIG. 284-8, and the variation of the effect can be increased by a simple process. can.

In the above embodiment, after the effect of inciting whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit by the reach effect of super reach is performed, the effect of inciting whether or not the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed by the time-saving fanning effect is performed. In addition to this, for example, in the time-saving fanning effect, in addition to whether or not the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed, whether or not the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed is more advantageous than the time-saving. May be notified. According to this, it is possible to maintain the expectation that a specific display result will be obtained.

Further, in the above embodiment, the symbol confirmation command cannot be normally received in steps S809 and 059AKS137 of FIGS. 284-30, and the special symbol display result (variable display result) is the symbol in "loss (time reduction)". If it is a confirmation command, an example of limiting the notification of the time reduction number by performing the special time reduction number notification control that displays "??? times" as the notification of the time reduction number in step 059AKS139 is shown. Even when the special time reduction number notification control is performed by changing the background image according to the time reduction number, the player may be able to specify the time reduction number to some extent. Specifically, the background designation command is transmitted from the main board 11 side according to the remaining number of time reductions, and the background image specified by the received background designation command is displayed on the effect control board 12 side. do it. According to this, since the player can specify the number of time reductions to some extent from the background image, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the game interest.

Further, each time the variable display is executed, the main board 11 side sends a time reduction number designation command indicating the remaining time reduction number, and the effect control board 12 side sends the remaining time reduction number according to the time reduction number designation command. The number of times may be notified. According to this, even when the special time reduction notification control is performed, the player can specify the remaining time reduction number of times, so that it is possible to prevent a deterioration of the game interest. Further, for example, when the number of time reductions is 100, a special fluctuation pattern may be transmitted from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side at the timing when the remaining 50 times are reached. On the side, the remaining 50 times of time reduction notification may be performed according to the reception of the special fluctuation pattern. According to this, even when the special time reduction notification control is performed, the player can specify the remaining time reduction number of times, so that it is possible to prevent a deterioration of the game interest.

In the above embodiment, the variable display result is "big hit" in the hold storage currently stored in step 059AKS082 in FIG. 284-22, "loss (time reduction)", or "loss". When the hold of the change pattern whose change pattern is "time saving" is stored, an example of selecting the time-limited hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (B) and executing the hold display change effect, that is, , When the hold in which the variable display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored in the hold storage currently stored, or when the hold in which the variable display result is "big hit" is stored, FIG. 284- An example is shown in which the common limited time hold change determination table shown in 23 (B) is selected and the execution of the hold display change effect is restricted, but this is an example. It differs depending on whether the hold that the variable display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored in the hold storage that is currently stored and the hold that the variable display result is "big hit" is stored. The execution of the hold display change effect may be restricted by selecting the hold change determination table at the time of restriction. For example, on the one hand, the pre-reading notice effect of the hold display change effect may be executed, and on the other hand, the pre-reading notice effect of the dialogue notice may be executed. In this case, it suffices to execute a kind of production with a low degree of expectation. In addition, if the hold that the variable display result is "missing (time reduction)" is stored in the hold storage that is currently stored, the hold display change effect is not executed and the variable display result becomes "big hit". When the hold is stored, it may be determined whether or not the hold change effect is executed based on the hold change determination table which does not have the display mode of "green" or more shown in FIG. 284-23 (B).

Further, in the above embodiment, a hold in which the variable display result is "big hit", a hold in which the variable display result is "big hit", or a hold in which the variable display result is "missing (time reduction)" in the hold storage currently stored in step 059AKS082 in FIG. When the hold of the change pattern of "missing" and the change pattern of "time saving" is stored, select the time-limited hold change determination table shown in FIG. 284-23 (B), and the expectation level is "green" or higher. An example is shown in which the hold display change effect is not executed, but this is an example. For example, in addition to the hold display change effect as the look-ahead notice effect, it is possible to execute a plurality of types of look-ahead notice effect such as a dialogue notice and a look-ahead zone notice, and when it is determined as Yes in step 059AKS082 of FIG. The pre-reading notice effect of the zone notice type may not be executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the player's attention from being distracted from the hold stored before the read-ahead notice target.

In the above embodiment, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are composed of 7-segment LEDs and the like, and the special symbols are numbers indicating "0" to "9" and "-". An example represented by a lighting pattern is shown, but this is just an example. The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are composed of eight LEDs, for example, as shown in FIGS. 284-39, and the special symbol is represented by a lighting combination of these eight LEDs. May be good. Specifically, as shown in the figure, when the variable display result is "big hit" or "small hit", it is represented by lighting of three of the eight LEDs, and the variable display result is "missing (time saving)". In the case of "" and "missing", it may be represented by lighting of two LEDs.

Further, in the above embodiment, after the state shown in FIG. 284-34 (L-1), as shown in FIG. 284-34 (M-1), “time saving D” is performed at the central portion of the image display device 5. An example is shown in which the time saving symbol 5Cb of the time saving type is displayed as a final stop symbol, but this is an example. For example, as shown in FIG. 284-40, after the state shown in FIG. 284-40 (L-1) (similar to FIG. 284-34 (L-1)), the time saving return symbol 5Cc is stopped and displayed. Since the time saving return small symbol M5 to be visible is displayed and it has already been notified that the time saving symbol will be stopped during the remaining hold period, as shown in FIG. 284-40 (M-3), the decorative symbol is displayed. The variable display of the above may be reduced and displayed (referred to as a reduced symbol M8), and the result display M7, which is the result of whether or not the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed, may be displayed in a large size in the center of the image display device 5. According to this, the game can be sharpened and the game can be improved. Since it has already been notified that the time-saving symbol will stop during the remaining hold period, the execution of the active change effect that changes the display mode of the active display may be restricted during the remaining hold period. In addition to not executing, the restriction may include executing in a mode with low expectation, or executing in an inconspicuous manner such as making the display smaller or transparent.

Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are set as pending data, and the number thereof is Storage is performed until a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4") is reached. In this way, the hold data stored in the second special figure hold storage unit indicates that the execution (variable display) of the special figure game using the second special figure is held, and the variable display result in this special figure game. Hold that makes it possible to determine whether or not it is determined to control the jackpot game state based on (special figure display result), and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is a specific mode (for example, reach effect). It becomes memory information.

When the second special figure hold storage number is other than "0" in step 063AKS101 (step 063AKS101; No), the CPU 103 is stored in the second special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the hold number "1". As the pending data, numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are read out (step 063AKS102). The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step 063AKS102, for example, by subtracting 1 from the second reserved storage number count value and updating, the second special figure holding storage number is updated to be subtracted by 1, and the second special figure holding storage is updated. The hold data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") is shifted up one entry at a time. (Step 063AKS103). Further, in the process of step 063AKS103, the RAM 102 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total hold storage count value stored in the total hold storage counter. After that, the CPU 103 updates the variable special chart designation buffer value, which is the stored value of the variable special chart designation buffer, to “2” (step 063AKS104).

When the second special figure reserved storage number is "0" in step 063AKS101 (step 063AKS101; Yes), it is determined whether or not the first special figure reserved storage number is "0" (step 063AKS114). The first special figure hold storage number is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step 063AKS114, the RAM 102 may read the first hold storage count value stored in the first hold storage counter, and determine whether or not the read value is “0”. As described above, the process of step 063AKS114 is executed when the second special figure reserved storage number is determined to be "0" in step 063AKS101, and the first special figure reserved storage number is "0". Judge whether or not. As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure (special figure 2) is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (special figure 1).

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

In the present embodiment, for example, a first special figure holding storage unit is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102. The first special figure reservation storage unit is a special figure game (first special symbol) that has not been started yet, although the game ball has entered the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and the first start winning has occurred. The reserved data of the special figure game) using the first special figure in the display device 4A is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the holding number with the first starting winning opening, and is based on the establishment of the first starting condition by the entry of the game ball. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are stored as pending data. Is stored until a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4") is reached. In this way, the hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit indicates that the execution (variable display) of the special figure game using the first special figure is held, and the variable display result in this special figure game. Hold that makes it possible to determine whether or not it is determined to control the jackpot game state based on (special figure display result), and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is a specific mode (for example, reach effect). It becomes memory information.

When the first special figure hold storage number is other than "0" in step 063AKS114 (step 063AKS114; No), the hold data stored corresponding to the hold number "1" in the first special figure hold storage unit. As a result, numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are read out (step 063AKS115). The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step 063AKS115, for example, by subtracting 1 from the first reserved storage number count value and updating, the first special figure holding storage number is updated to be subtracted by 1, and the first special figure holding storage is updated. The hold data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") is shifted up one entry at a time. (Step 063AKS116). Further, in the process of step 063AKS116, the RAM 102 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total hold storage count value stored in the total hold storage counter. After that, the CPU 103 updates the variable special figure designation buffer value to "1" (step 063AKS117).

After executing any of the processes of step 063AKS104 and 063AKS117, the CPU 103 determines whether the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, is "big hit", "small hit", or "missing". As a table to be used for this purpose, a special map display result determination table corresponding to the variable special map designation buffer value is selected and set (step 063AKS105). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (a) is set in the table to be used. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (b) is set in the table to be used.

In the first special symbol display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (a), a definite special symbol that is a variable display result in a special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A is derived and displayed. Before It is a table referred to for determination based on the random number value MR1 for. In the second special symbol display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (b), a definite special symbol that is a variable display result in a special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B is derived and displayed. Before It is a table referred to for determination based on the random number value MR1 for.

The first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (a) and the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (b) are compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. Numerical values (decision values) are assigned to the special figure display results of "big hit", "small hit", and "miss".

In the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (a) and the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (b), it is compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. The table data indicating the determined value is whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the big hit gaming state, and whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as a "small hit" in the small hit gaming state. It is the decision data assigned to the decision result.

Further, in the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (b), a larger number of decision values than in the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (a) is "small hit". It is assigned to the special figure display result of. That is, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (a) and the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (b) are the second special figure display result determination table. The determination data is assigned so that the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit gaming state is high.

Returning to FIG. 285-11, following the processing of step 063AKS105, the CPU 103 selects the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result stored in the random number buffer for variation in the special figure selected in step 063AKS105. By comparing with the determination value assigned to the "big hit" in the display result determination table, it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is the "big hit" (step 063AKS106).

After executing the process of step 063AKS106, the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is determined in step 063AKS106 that the special figure display result is "big hit" (step 063AKS107). Then, when it is determined that the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit" (step 063AKS107; Yes), the big hit flag provided in the RAM 102 is set to the ON state (step 063AKS108). After that, the CPU 103 selects and sets the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 285-13 (b) as a table to be used for determining the jackpot type to one of a plurality of types (step 063AKS109). The CPU 103 has a special symbol (“variable special figure”) in which the big hit type is variably displayed in the special figure game by performing a random number lottery using the big hit type determination table set in step 063AKS109. "Big hit A" shown in FIG. 285-13 (a) depending on whether it is a special figure or a second special figure (whether the variable special figure buffer value is "1" or "2"). And "big hit B" (step 063AKS110).

Both "big hit A" and "big hit B" shown in FIGS. 285-13 (a) are "non-probable variable big hits" that are not controlled to the probable change state after the end of the big hit gaming state. When it is controlled to "big hit A", it is controlled to a time saving state for a period until the variable display is executed five times after the end of the big hit game state. When controlled to "big hit B", it is controlled to a time saving state for a period from the end of the big hit gaming state until the variable display is executed once. "Big hit A", which has a longer period controlled to shorten the time after the end of the big hit gaming state than "Big hit B", has a higher advantage for the player than "Big hit B". In the big hit type determination table shown in FIG. 285-13 (b), when the variable special figure is the first special figure, the big hit type is determined to be either "big hit A" or "big hit B". On the other hand, when the variable special map is the second special map, the jackpot type is determined to be "big hit A" and not to be determined to be "big hit B". With such a configuration, when the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed in the second special figure game, the rate is higher than that when the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed in the first special figure game, for the player than "big hit B". It is controlled to "big hit A", which has a high degree of advantage.

After returning to FIG. 285-11 and executing the process of step 063AKS110, the CPU 103 corresponds to the jackpot type determined in step 063AK110, for example, the jackpot type buffer value which is the stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the RAM 102. (Step 063AKS111), the determined jackpot type is stored. As an example, if the jackpot type is "big hit A", the jackpot type buffer value may be set to "0", and if it is "big hit B", it may be set to "1".

When it is determined in step 063AKS107 that the variable display result is not determined to be "big hit" in step 063AKS106 (step 063AKS107; No), the CPU 103 is for determining the special figure display result stored in the random number buffer for variation. By comparing the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 with the determined value assigned to the "small hit" in the special figure display result determination table selected in step 063AKS105, the special figure display result is defined as "small hit". Whether or not it is determined (step 063AKS118).

After executing the process of step 063AKS118, the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is determined in step 063AKS118 that the special figure display result is "small hit" (step 063AKS119). Then, when it is determined that the special figure display result is determined to be "small hit" (step 063AKS119; Yes), the small hit flag provided in the RAM 102 is set to the ON state (step 063AKS120). After that, the CPU 103 selects and sets the small hit type determination table shown in FIG. 285-14 (b) as a table to be used for determining the small hit type to one of a plurality of types (step 063AKS121). The CPU 103 performs a random number lottery using the small hit type determination table set in step 063AKS121, and determines whether the small hit type is the first special figure or the second special figure (variation). Depending on whether the special figure buffer value is "1" or "2"), it is determined to be one of "small hit A" to "small hit E" shown in FIG. 285-14 (a) (. Step 063AKS122).

As shown in FIG. 285-14 (a), in the "small hit A" and "small hit B", the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit gaming state is a distribution member. It is a small hit type that passes through the big hit area 063AK19 by being guided to 063AK28. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the small hit type is "small hit A" or "small hit B", the small hit start effect time is set to the above-mentioned third specific time. As described above, when the small hit start effect time is set to the third specific time, the game ball that has won the big winning opening 063AK4 passes through the big hit area 063AK19. Therefore, when the small hit type is "small hit A" or "small hit B", the game ball that has won the large winning opening 063AK4 passes through the large hit area 063AK19. When the game ball winning the big winning opening 063AK4 passes through the big hit area 063AK19 in the small hit gaming state of "small hit A", it is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "big hit A" after the end of the small hit gaming state. .. On the other hand, when the game ball winning the big winning opening 063AK4 passes through the big hit area 063AK19 in the small hit gaming state of "small hit B", the big hit gaming state of "big hit B" is completed after the end of the small hit gaming state. Is controlled by.

In the "small hit C" and "small hit D", the game ball winning in the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit gaming state is guided to the distribution member 063AK28, so that the time saving area 063AK20 is set. It is a small hit type that passes. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D", the small hit start effect time is set to the above-mentioned second specific time. As described above, when the small hit start effect time is set to the second specific time, the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 passes through the time saving area 063AK20. Therefore, when the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D", the game ball that has won the large winning opening 063AK4 passes through the time saving area 063AK20. When the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 passes through the time saving area 063AK20 in the small hit gaming state of "small hit C", the variable display is executed five times after the end of the small hit gaming state. It is controlled to shorten the time. On the other hand, when the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 passes through the time saving area 063AK20 in the small hit gaming state of "small hit D", the variable display is executed once after the end of the small hit gaming state. It is controlled to shorten the time until.

"Small hit E" is a small hit type in which the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit gaming state is guided to the distribution member 063AK28 and passes through the loss area 063AK21. be. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the small hit type is "small hit E", the small hit start effect time is set to the above-mentioned first specific time. As described above, when the small hit start effect time is set to the first specific time, the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 passes through the loss area 063AK21. Therefore, when the small hit type is "small hit E", the game ball that has won the large winning opening 063AK4 passes through the loss area 063AK21.

In the small hit type determination table shown in FIG. 285-14 (b), when the variable special figure is the second special figure, the small hit type is determined at a higher rate than when the variable special figure is the first special figure. When the game ball passes through the jackpot area 063AK19, it is configured to be determined to be the "small hit A" controlled by the "big hit A" which is more advantageous to the player than the "big hit B". With such a configuration, when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed in the second special figure game and the game ball passes through the big hit area 063AK19 when the big winning opening 063AK4 is controlled to the open state, in the first special figure game. When the small hit symbol is derived and displayed and the large winning opening 063AK4 is controlled to the open state, the game is played from "Big hit B" after the small hit game state is completed at a higher rate than when the game ball passes through the large hit area 063AK19. It is controlled by "big hit A", which has a high advantage for the person.

In the small hit type determination table shown in FIG. 285-14 (b), the total of the ratio in which the small hit type is determined to be "small hit A" and the ratio in which the small hit type is determined to be "small hit B". The value corresponds to the degree of expectation that the game ball is controlled to the big hit game state after the end of the small hit game state based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the big hit area 063AK19 in the small hit game state. Further, the total value of the ratio in which the small hit type is determined to be "small hit C" and the ratio in which the small hit type is determined to be "small hit D" is the total value of the game ball in the small hit gaming state 063AK20. It corresponds to the expectation degree controlled to the time saving state after the end of the small hit game state based on passing through. Further, the ratio at which the small hit type is determined to be "small hit E" is a control for changing the gaming state after the end of the small hit gaming state based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the loss area 063AK21 in the small hit gaming state. Corresponds to the degree of expectation that is not done.

As shown in FIG. 285-14 (b), when the variable special figure is the second special figure, the ratio (15%) in which the small hit type is determined to be "small hit C" and the small hit type is ". The ratio (15%) determined to be "small hit D" and the total value (30%) are determined so that the small hit type is "small hit C" when the variable special figure is the first special figure. It is larger than the total value (25%) of the ratio (15%) and the ratio (10%) in which the small hit type is determined to be "small hit D". That is, in the feature unit 063AK, when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed in the second special figure game, the small hit symbol is derived and displayed at a higher rate than when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed in the first special figure game, in the small hit gaming state. The game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20, and is configured to be controlled to the time saving state after the end of the small hit game state. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the final special symbol of the second special diagram game, and to improve the game interest.

After returning to FIG. 285-11 and executing the process of step 063AKS122, the CPU 103 corresponds to the small hit type determined in step 063AK122, for example, a small hit which is a stored value of the small hit type buffer provided in the RAM 102. By setting the type buffer value or the like (step 063AKS123), the determined small hit type is stored. As an example, if the small hit type is "small hit A", the small hit type buffer value is set to "0", if it is "small hit B", it is set to "1", and if it is "small hit C", it is "2". If it is a "small hit D", it may be set to "3", and if it is a "small hit E", it may be set to "4".

When it is determined in step 063AKS119 that the special figure display result is not determined to be "small hit" in step 063AKS118 (step 063AKS119; No), or after the processing of step 063AKS111 or step 063AKS123 is executed, the CPU 103 determines. The definite special symbol is determined according to the pre-determined result of whether or not to control the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state, the determination result of the big hit type in the case of the big hit gaming state, and the like (step 063AKS112).

After executing the process of step 063AKS112, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to "1" which is a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step 063AKS113), and then ends the special symbol normal process. When the number of reserved first special figures is "0" in step 063AKS114 (step 063AKS114; Yes), the CPU 103 sets a predetermined demo display setting (step 063AKS124), and then ends the special symbol normal processing.

In the present embodiment, in the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process, the variation pattern is determined to be any of the variation patterns PA1-1 to PB5-3 shown in FIGS. 285-15.

As shown in FIGS. 285-15, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation patterns PA1-1 to PB2-3 corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "missing" and the case where the variable display result is "big hit" are supported. The variation patterns PA3-1 to PB3-3 and the variation patterns PA4-1 to PB5-3 corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" are preset.

In the present embodiment, three types of super reach, super reach A, super reach B, and super reach C, are set, and a normal reach effect is executed for the fluctuation pattern shown in FIGS. 285-15. Fluctuation patterns PB2-1, PB3-1, PB4-1, PB5-1 in which the reach effect of Super Reach C is executed together with the fluctuation patterns PA2-1, PA3-1, PA4-1, and PA5-1. Fluctuation patterns PB2-2, PB3-2, PB4-2, PB5-2 in which the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed, and variation patterns PB2-3, PB3-3, PB4 in which the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed. -3, PB5-3, and. In the present embodiment, as the reach effect of the super reach A, an effect of displaying a character image indicating the character A is performed on the screen of the image display device 5, and as a reach effect of the super reach B, the screen of the image display device 5 is displayed. In addition, an effect of displaying a character image showing the character B is performed, and as a reach effect of the super reach C, an effect of displaying a character image showing the character C is performed on the screen of the image display device 5.

Further, the fluctuation patterns PA4-1 to PB5-3 corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a "small hit" include fluctuation patterns PA4-1 and PB4-1 to PB4-3 in which the time saving suggestion effect is executed. Fluctuation patterns PA5-1 and PB5-1 to PB5-3 in which the time saving suggestion effect is not executed are included.

FIG. 285-16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process as the variation pattern setting process for the feature unit 063AK.

When the variation pattern setting process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is on (step 063AK201). When it is determined that the jackpot flag is on (step 063AKS201; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a random number lottery using the jackpot variation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 285-17 to display the variation pattern as "variable display result". It is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns PA3-1 to PB3-3 corresponding to the case of "big hit" (step 063AK202).

As shown in FIG. 285-17, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern PB3-in which the reach effect of the super reach C is executed at a higher rate than the variation pattern PA3-1 in which the normal reach effect is executed. It is determined to be 1, and the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed at a higher rate than the variation pattern PB3-1. It is determined to be the variation pattern PB3-2, and the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed at a higher rate than the variation pattern PB3-2. Is determined by the variation pattern PB3-3 to be executed. With such a configuration, the jackpot expectation is higher when the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed than when the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed, and the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed. The time is higher than when the reach effect of Super Reach C is executed, and the time is higher when the reach effect of Super Reach C is executed than when the normal reach effect is executed.

Returning to FIG. 285-16, when it is determined in step 063AK201 that the big hit flag is not on (step 063AKS201; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the small hit flag is on (step 063AKS207). When it is determined that the small hit flag is not on (step 063AK207; No), the CPU 103 performs a random number lottery using the loss fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. It is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns PA1-1 to PB2-3 corresponding to the case of "loss" (step 063AKS208).

As shown in FIGS. 285-18, in the loss variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern PB2-in which the reach effect of the super reach C is executed at a lower rate than the variation pattern PA2-1 in which the normal reach effect is executed. It is determined to be 1, and the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed at a lower rate than the variation pattern PB2-1. It is determined to be the variation pattern PB2-2, and the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed at a higher rate than the variation pattern PB2-2. Is determined by the variation pattern PB2-3 to be executed.

Returning to FIG. 285-16, when it is determined in step 063AKS207 that the small hit flag is on (step 063AKS207; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving flag provided in the RAM 102 is set to the ON state. Determination (step 063AKS209). The time saving flag is a flag indicating that the time saving state is controlled.

When it is determined that the time saving flag is not set to the ON state (step 063AKS209; No), the CPU 103 performs a random number lottery using the time saving fluctuation pattern determination table for the normal state shown in FIG. 285-19 (a). , Depending on whether the small hit type is "small hit A" to "small hit E", the variation pattern is changed to correspond to the case where the variable display result is "small hit", and the time saving suggestion effect is executed. The fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of PA4-1 to PB4-3 (step 063AKS210). Whether the small hit type is "small hit A" to "small hit E" may be specified based on the small hit type buffer value. On the other hand, when it is determined that the time saving flag is set to the ON state (step 063AKS209; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a random number lottery using the time saving variation pattern determination table for the time saving state shown in FIG. 285-19 (b). By doing so, depending on whether the small hit type is "small hit A" to "small hit E", the variation pattern can be changed to the case where the variable display result is "small hit", and the time saving suggestion effect can be achieved. It is determined to be one of the variation patterns PA5-1 to PB5-3 that are not executed (step 063AKS211). With such a configuration, when the small hit variation is executed in the normal state, the time saving suggestion effect can be executed during the execution of the small hit variation, while when the small hit variation is executed in the time saving state, the small hit variation is executed. The time saving suggestion effect is not executed during the execution of.

In both the time-saving fluctuation pattern determination table for the normal state shown in FIG. 285-19 (a) and the time-saving fluctuation pattern determination table for the time-saving state shown in FIG. When is a "small hit A" or a "small hit B" passing through the big hit area 063AK19, the fluctuation pattern is at a higher rate than the fluctuation patterns PB4-1 and PB5-1 in which the reach effect of the super reach C is executed. The variation pattern PB4-2 and PB5-2 in which the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed is determined, and the variation pattern PB4 in which the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed at a higher rate than the variation patterns PB4-2 and PB5-2. -3, PB5-3 is decided. With such a configuration, the degree of expectation that the game ball passes through the jackpot area 063AK19 (the degree of expectation of passing through the jackpot area) is such that the reach effect of super reach B is executed when the reach effect of super reach A is executed. It is higher when the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed than when the reach effect of Super Reach C is executed. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the reach effects of Super Reach A and Super Reach C is executed, and to improve the interest in the game.

In both the time-saving fluctuation pattern determination table for the normal state shown in FIG. 285-19 (a) and the time-saving fluctuation pattern determination table for the time-saving state shown in FIG. When is a "small hit C" or "small hit D" passing through the time saving region 063AK20, the fluctuation pattern is at a higher rate than the fluctuation patterns PB4-3 and PB5-3 in which the reach effect of the super reach A is executed. The variation pattern PB4-2 and PB5-2 in which the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed is determined, and the variation pattern PB4 in which the reach effect of Super Reach C is executed at a higher rate than the variation patterns PB4-2 and PB5-2. -1, PB5-1 is determined. With such a configuration, the degree of expectation that the game ball passes through the time-saving area 063AK20 (the degree of expectation of passing through the time-saving area) is such that the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed when the reach effect of Super Reach C is executed. It is higher when the reach effect of Super Reach B is executed than when the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the reach effects of Super Reach A and Super Reach C is executed, and to improve the interest in the game.

After returning to FIGS. 285-16 and executing the processing of steps 063AKS202, 063AKS208, 063AKS210 or 063AKS211th, the CPU 103 sets the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the determined fluctuation pattern (step 063AKS203). The special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is the time required from the start of the fluctuation of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the definite special symbol that becomes the variable display result (special symbol display result) is derived and displayed. Is. The CPU 103 can set the timing at which the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is derived by setting the special symbol variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. The special figure fluctuation time is set, for example, by setting a timer value according to the special figure fluctuation time in the game control process timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102.

Following the process of step 063AKS203, the CPU 103 determines that the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. Among them, the setting for starting the fluctuation of the special symbol is made so as to start any of the special symbol games for which the start condition is satisfied (step 063AKS204). As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", a setting is made to transmit a drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. On the other hand, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", a setting is made to transmit a drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. As a result, the special figure game is started. When the CPU 103 starts the variable display using the first special figure, the CPU 103 controls the first hold display 25A to display a display capable of specifying the subtracted 1st special figure hold storage number. The hold display 25A may be used (for example, the number of LEDs lit is reduced by one). When the CPU 103 starts the variable display using the second special figure, the CPU 103 controls the second hold display 25B to display a display capable of specifying the subtracted second special figure hold storage number. The hold display 25B may be used (for example, the number of LEDs lit is reduced by one).

After executing the process of step 063AKS204, the CPU 103 issues a command at the start of fluctuation of the special symbol (command at the start of fluctuation) in order to notify the effect control board 12 of the special symbol display result, the determination result of the fluctuation pattern, and the like. Set the transmission (step 063AKS205). For example, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103 requests the effect control board 12 from the main board 11 as a first fluctuation start designation command and a fluctuation pattern designation command (variation start designation command). Step 063AKS202, 063AKS208, 063AKS210 or 063AKS211 command including EXT data indicating the fluctuation pattern), display result specification command (command including EXT data indicating the determined variable display result), first special figure hold storage number specification command (1 decremented 1st special figure reserved storage count value, that is, a command including EXT data indicating the 1st special figure reserved storage number when one reserved storage is exhausted by the start of execution of the special figure game) is sequentially performed. Set the transmission settings for transmission. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 requests the effect control board 12 from the main board 11 as a second fluctuation start designation command and a fluctuation pattern designation command (variation start designation command). Step 063AKS202, 063AKS208, 063AKS210 or 063AKS211 command including EXT data indicating the fluctuation pattern), display result specification command (command including EXT data indicating the determined variable display result), second special figure hold storage number specification command (The second special figure reserved storage count value reduced by 1, that is, the command including the EXT data indicating the second special figure reserved storage number when one reserved storage is exhausted by the start of execution of the special figure game) is sequentially performed. Set the transmission settings for transmission. In the present embodiment, in the display result designation command (variable display result notification command), the determination result (predetermined result) of whether the variable display result is "miss", "big hit", or "small hit" is used. , Decision result of multiple types of big hit type when the variable display result is "big hit" (big hit type determination result), Multiple types of small hit type when the variable display result is "small hit" Different EXT data are set according to the determination result (small hit type determination result) of which one is to be used.

After executing the process of step 063AKS205, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to "2" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (step 063AKS206), and then ends the special symbol normal process.

FIG. 285-20 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of the special symbol process process as the special symbol stop process for the feature unit 063AK.

When the special symbol stop process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the special symbol confirmation display flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is on (step 063AKS301). Here, the flag for confirming the special figure is set to the ON state by the process of step 063AKS305, which will be described later, in response to the derivation and display of the confirmed special symbol that is the variable display result in the special figure game.

When the flag for confirming the special symbol is off (step 063AKS301; No), the CPU 103 makes a setting for deriving and displaying the confirmed special symbol (step 063AKS302), and issues a decorative symbol stop command to the effect control board 12. Make settings for transmission (step 063AKS303). The decorative symbol stop command is also called a symbol confirmation command, and is a command that specifies that the variable display (variation) of the decorative symbol is terminated and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed.

After executing the process of step 063AKS303, the CPU 103 sets a predetermined time as the special figure confirmation display time (step 063AKS304). In the process of step 063AKS304, the special figure confirmation display time timer value, which is a stored value of the special figure confirmation display time timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102, is set to a value corresponding to the predetermined special figure confirmation display time. After that, the CPU 103 sets the special symbol confirmation display flag to the on state (step 063AKS305), and then ends the special symbol stop process.

In step 063AKS301, when the special figure confirmation display flag is on (step 063AKS301; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the special figure confirmation display time has elapsed (step 063AKS306). For example, in the process of step 063AKS306, the special figure confirmation display time timer value is updated by subtracting 1, and the special figure confirmation is performed according to whether or not the updated special figure confirmation display time timer value is “0”. It may be determined whether or not the display time has elapsed. If the special symbol confirmation display time has not elapsed in step 063AKS306 (step 063AKS306; No), the special symbol stop processing is terminated, and the process waits until the special symbol confirmation display time elapses.

When the special figure confirmation display time has elapsed in step 063AKS306 (step 063AKS306; Yes), the CPU 103 clears the special figure confirmation display flag and turns it off (step 063AKS307), and then is the jackpot flag turned on? It is determined whether or not (step 063AKS308). At this time, if the jackpot flag is on (step 063AKS308; Yes), a predetermined time is set as the jackpot start effect waiting time (step 063AKS309). The jackpot start effect waiting time corresponds to the jackpot start effect time when the jackpot start effect (big hit fanfare effect) is executed. In the process of step 063AK309, the jackpot start effect waiting time timer value, which is the stored value of the jackpot start effect waiting time timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102, is set to a value corresponding to the predetermined jackpot start effect waiting time. After executing the process of step 063AKS309, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting a hit start designation command (big hit fanfare command) corresponding to the big hit from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step 063AKS310).

After executing the process of step 063AKS310, the CPU 103 clears the jackpot flag and puts it in the off state (step 063AKS311), and clears the time saving flag and puts it in the off state (step 063AKS312). After that, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting a game state designation command (an effect control command for designating the current game state in the pachinko game 1) indicating a normal state from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step). 063AKS313).

Next, the CPU 103 sets the open count value, which is a stored value of the open count counter provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102, to a value corresponding to the upper limit number of rounds (15 in the present embodiment) in the big hit game state (15 times). In this embodiment, it is set to "15") (step 063AKS314).

After executing the process of step 063AKS314, the CPU 103 clears the time reduction counter (063AKS315). The time reduction counter is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and counts the number of time reductions, which is the remaining number of variable displays controlled in the time reduction state. In the process of step 063AKS315, the time reduction count counter is cleared, so that the time reduction count value, which is the stored value of the time reduction counter, is set to "0" as the initial value. After that, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to "4" which is a value corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (step 063AKS316), and then ends the special symbol stop processing.

When it is determined in step 063AKS308 that the big hit flag is not on (step 063AKS308; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the small hit flag is on (step 063AKS317). When it is determined that the small hit flag is not on (step 063AKS317; No), the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing (step 063AKS318).

When it is determined in step 063AKS317 that the small hit flag is on (step 063AKS317; Yes), the CPU 103 sets the small hit start effect waiting time to any of the above-mentioned first specific time to third specific time. (Step 063AKS319). The small hit start effect waiting time corresponds to the small hit start effect time. Specifically, in step 063AKS319, the CPU 103 sets the small hit start effect waiting time by referring to the small hit start effect waiting time determination table shown in FIG. 285-21, and the small hit type is "small hit A" to "small hit A". A small hit start effect waiting time timer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, which is determined to be one of the first specific time to the third specific time depending on which of the small hits E is. The hit start effect waiting time timer value is set to a value corresponding to the determined small hit start effect waiting time. The small hit type may be specified based on the small hit type buffer value.

As shown in FIGS. 285-21, in the present embodiment, when the small hit type is "small hit A" or "small hit B", the small hit start effect time is set to the third specific time. Then, the waiting time for the small hit start effect is also determined at the third specific time. When the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D", the small hit start effect waiting time is also the second specific corresponding to the small hit start effect time being set to the second specific time. Determined by time. When the small hit type is "small hit E", the small hit start effect waiting time is also determined to be the first specific time corresponding to the small hit start effect time being set to the first specific time.

After executing the process of step 063AKS319, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting a hit start designation command (small hit fanfare command) corresponding to the small hit from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step 063AKS320). ..

After executing the process of step 063AKS320, the CPU 103 controls the distribution member 063AK28 to start the operation according to the distribution member operation pattern (step 063AKS321). After that, the CPU 103 clears the small hit flag and puts it in the off state (step 063AKS322), and the opening number count value corresponds to the upper limit opening number of opening and closing of the large winning opening in the small hit gaming state (10 times in this embodiment). (In this embodiment, "10") is set (step 063AKS323). After executing the process of step 063AKS323, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to “8”, which is a value corresponding to the small hit release preprocessing (step 063AKS324).

After executing the process of step 063AKS318 or step 063AKS324, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving flag is on (step 063AKS325). When it is determined that the time saving flag is not on (step 063AKS325; No), the CPU 103 ends the special symbol stop processing.

When it is determined that the time reduction flag is on (step 063AKS325; Yes), the CPU 103 updates by subtracting 1 from the time reduction count value (step 063AKS326), and the updated time reduction count value is "0". It is determined whether or not (step 063AKS327). When it is determined that the time reduction count value is not "0" (step 063AKS327; No), the CPU 103 ends the special symbol stop process.

When it is determined that the time reduction count value is "0" (step 063AKS327; Yes), the CPU 103 clears the time reduction flag and sets it to the off state (step 063AKS328), and sends a game state specification command indicating a normal state. (Step 063AKS329) is performed, and the special symbol stop process is terminated.

FIG. 285-22 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S118 of the special symbol process process as the small hit opening pre-process for the feature unit 063AK.

When the small hit opening pre-processing is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the small hit start effect waiting time has elapsed (step 063AKS401). In the process of step 063AKS401, the small hit start effect waiting time timer value is updated by subtracting 1, and the small hit start is started depending on whether or not the updated small hit start effect waiting time timer value is "0". It is determined whether or not the production waiting time has elapsed. When it is determined that the small hit start effect waiting time has not elapsed (step 063AKS401; No), the CPU 103 ends the small hit opening pre-processing.

When it is determined in step 063AKS401 that the small hit start effect waiting time has elapsed (step 063AKS401; Yes), the CPU 103 controls the distribution unit supply solenoid 063AK12 to be in the ON state (step 063AKS402). After that, the CPU 103 sets a predetermined time as the game ball holding time (step 063AKS403). In step 063AKS403, the CPU 103 sets the game ball holding time timer value, which is the stored value of the game ball holding time timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102, to a value corresponding to the predetermined game ball holding time. After executing the process of step 063AKS403, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to “9” which is a value corresponding to the process during the small hit opening (step 063AKS404), and ends the small hit opening preprocessing.

FIG. 285-23 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S119 of the special symbol process process as the process during the opening of the small hit with respect to the feature unit 063AK.

When the small hit opening process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the opening count value is “0” (step 063AKS501). When it is determined that the opening count value is not "0" (step 063AKS501; No), the CPU 103 determines that the number of game balls that have won the large winning opening 063AK4 in the small hit game state is a predetermined upper limit in the small hit game state. It is determined whether or not the number of winnings (10 in this embodiment) or more (step 063AKS502). In step 063AKS502, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the number of game balls detected by the large winning opening switch 063AK5 (the number of times the game balls are detected by the large winning opening switch 063AK5) is equal to or greater than the upper limit winning number.

When it is determined in step 063AKS502 that the number of game balls winning in the large winning opening 063AK4 is less than the upper limit winning number (step 063AKS502; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is the opening timing of the large winning opening 063AK4. (Step 063AKS503). When it is determined that it is the opening timing of the large winning opening 063AK4 (step 063AKS503; Yes), the CPU 103 controls the large winning opening 063AK4 to the open state by controlling the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door to the on state. (Step 063AKS504), the setting for transmitting the designated command during the opening of the large winning opening is made (step 063AKS505). After performing the process of step 063AKS505, the CPU 103 updates by subtracting 1 from the opening count value (step 063AKS506).

After executing the process of step 063AKS506, or when it is determined in step 063AKS503 that it is not the opening timing of the large winning opening 063AK4 (step 063AKS503; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is the closing timing of the large winning opening 063AK4. (Step 063AKS507). When it is determined that it is not the closing timing of the large winning opening 063AK4 (step 063AKS507; No), the CPU 103 ends the processing during the opening of the small hit. When it is determined that it is the closing timing of the big winning opening 063AK4 (step 063AKS507; Yes), the CPU 103 controls the big winning opening 063AK4 to the closed state by controlling the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door to the off state. (Step 063AKS508). After executing the process of step 063AKS508, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting the designated command after opening the big winning opening (step 063AKS509), and ends the process during opening the small hit.

When it is determined in step 063AKS501 that the open count value is "0" (step 063AKS501; Yes), or when it is determined in step 063AKS502 that the number of game balls that have won the large winning opening 063AK4 is equal to or greater than the upper limit winning number. (Step 063AKS502; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the game ball holding time has elapsed (step 063AKS510). In step 063AKS510, the CPU 103 is updated by subtracting 1 from the game ball holding time timer value, and the game ball holding time elapses depending on whether or not the updated game ball holding time timer value is "0". Determine if it has been done. When it is determined that the game ball holding time has not elapsed (step 063AKS510; No), the CPU 103 ends the small hit opening process.

When it is determined in step 063AKS510 that the game ball holding time has elapsed (step 063AKS510; Yes), the CPU 103 controls the distribution unit supply solenoid 063AK12 to the off state (step 063AKS511).

After executing the process of step 063AKS511, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the game ball winning the big winning opening 063AK4 has passed through any of the big hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, or the lost area 063AK21 in the small hit game state. (Step 063AKS512). In step 063AKS512, the CPU 103 is in the small hit gaming state depending on whether or not any of the big hit area passing flag, the time saving area passing flag, and the losing area passing flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is on. It is determined whether or not the game ball that has won the big winning opening 063AK4 has passed through any of the big hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, and the losing area 063AK21.

When it is determined that the game ball has not passed through any of the big hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, or the loss area 063AK21 (step 063AKS512; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the big hit area passing switch 063AK22 is turned on (big hit area). It is determined (whether or not the passing switch 063AK22 has detected the game ball) (step 063AKS518). When it is determined that the big hit area passing switch 063AK22 is turned on (step 063AKS518; Yes), the CPU 103 sets the big hit area passing flag to the on state (step 063AKS519), and ends the small hit opening processing.

When it is determined in step 063AKS518 that the jackpot area passing switch 063AK22 is not on (step 063AKS518; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving area passing switch 063AK23 is turned on (the time saving area passing switch 063AK23 detects the game ball). Whether or not it was done) is determined (step 063AKS520). When it is determined that the time saving area passing switch 063AK23 is turned on (step 063AKS520; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving flag is on (step 063AKS521). When it is determined that the time saving flag is not on (step 063AKS521; No), the CPU 103 sets the time saving area passing flag to the on state (step 063AKS522), and ends the small hit opening process.

When it is determined in step 063AKS520 that the time saving area passing switch 063AK23 is not on (step 063AKS520; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the losing area passing switch 063AK24 is turned on (the losing area passing switch 063AK24 detects the game ball. Whether or not it was done) is determined (step 063AKS523). When it is determined that the loss area passing switch 063AK24 is not on (step 063AKS523; No), the CPU 103 ends the small hit opening process.

When it is determined in step 063AKS523 that the loss area passing switch 063AK24 is turned on (step 063AKS523; Yes), or when it is determined in step 063AKS521 that the time saving flag is on (step 063AKS521; Yes), the CPU 103 is lost. The area passage flag is set to the on state (step 063AKS524), and the small hit opening process is terminated.

As described above, in the present embodiment, even when it is determined that the time saving area passing switch 063AK24 is turned on (step 063AKS520; Yes), it is determined that the time saving flag is on (step 063AKS521; Yes). Occasionally, the lost area passage flag is set to the on state without the time saving area passing flag being set to the on state.

When it is determined in step 063AKS512 that the game ball has passed through any of the big hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, or the loss area 063AK21 (step 063AKS512; Yes), the CPU 103 wins the big winning opening 063AK4 in the small hit gaming state. It is determined whether or not all the game balls have been discharged to the outside of the special variable winning ball device 7 (step 063AKS513). In step 063AKS513, the CPU 103 uses the number of game balls detected by the discharge count switch 063AK16 (the number of times the game balls are detected by the discharge count switch 063AK16) and the number of game balls detected by the jackpot area discharge count switch (big hit). The number of game balls detected by the area discharge count switch), the number of game balls detected by the time-saving area discharge count switch (the number of times the game ball is detected by the time-saving area discharge count switch), and the lost area discharge count switch. Whether or not the total value of the number of game balls detected by (the number of times the game balls are detected by the loss area discharge count switch) matches the number of game balls detected by the grand prize opening switch 063AK5. Accordingly, it is determined whether or not all the game balls that have won the large winning opening 063AK4 have been discharged to the outside of the special variable winning ball device 7.

When it is determined in step 063AKS513 that all the game balls that have won in the large winning opening 063AK4 have not been discharged to the outside of the special variable winning ball device 7 (step 063AKS513; No), the CPU 103 ends the small hit opening process. do. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the game balls that have won the large winning opening 063AK4 have been discharged to the outside of the special variable winning ball device 7 (step 063AKS513; Yes), the CPU 103 sets the distribution member operation pattern by the distribution member 063AK28. Control is performed to end the according operation (step 063AKS514).

After executing the process of step 063AKS514, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting the hit end designation command (small hit ending command) corresponding to the small hit from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step 063AKS515).

In step 063AKS515, the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is controlled to the big hit game state or the time saving state after the end of the small hit game state, and to the big hit game state after the end of the small hit game state, as a hit end designation command according to the small hit. An effect control command indicating the type of big hit when controlled and the number of variable displays controlled to the time-saving state when controlled to the time-saving state after the end of the small-hit gaming state is transmitted.

Specifically, in step 063AK515, the CPU 103 refers to the hit end designation command determination table shown in FIGS. 285-24, thereby indicating the states of the big hit area passing flag, the time saving area passing flag, and the losing area passing flag, and the small hit type. And, as the hit end designation command according to the small hit, one of the small hit end designation command 1 to the small hit end designation command 5 is selected, and the setting for transmitting the selected command is made.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 285-24, when the big hit area passing flag is set to the ON state and the small hit type is "small hit A", "big hit A" is completed after the small hit gaming state ends. The small hit end designation command 1 indicating that the game is controlled to the big hit game state is selected. When the big hit area passing flag is set to the on state and the small hit type is "small hit B", it indicates that the small hit is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "big hit B" after the end of the small hit gaming state. The end specification command 2 is selected. When the time saving area passing flag is set to the on state and the small hit type is "small hit C", the time saving state is controlled for a period until the variable display is executed 5 times after the end of the small hit game state. The small hit end designation command 3 indicating that the command is to be executed is selected. When the time saving area passing flag is set to the on state and the small hit type is "small hit D", the time saving state is controlled for the period from the end of the small hit game state until the variable display is executed once. The small hit end designation command 4 indicating that the command is to be executed is transmitted. When the loss area passage flag is set to the ON state, the small hit end specification command 5 indicating that the control to change the game state is not performed after the end of the small hit game state is transmitted regardless of the small hit type. Will be done.

After returning to FIGS. 285-23 and executing the process of step 063AKS515, the CPU 103 sets the passage notification effect waiting time to any of the above-mentioned first special time to the third special time (step 063AKS516). The passage notification effect waiting time corresponds to the passage notification effect time. In step 063AKS516, the CPU 103 sets the passing notification effect waiting time to the states of the jackpot area passing flag, the time saving area passing flag, and the lost area passing flag by referring to the passing notification effect waiting time determination table shown in FIG. Accordingly, it was determined to be one of the first special time to the third special time, and the passage notification effect waiting time timer value, which is the stored value of the passing notification effect waiting time timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102, was determined. Set to a value corresponding to the passage notification effect waiting time.

As shown in FIGS. 285-25, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot area passing flag is set to the on state, the passing notification effect waiting time is set to the third special time, and the time saving area passing flag is turned on. When is set to, the passage notification effect waiting time is set to the second special time, and when the loss area passage flag is set to the ON state, the passage notification effect waiting time is set to the first special time. To.

After returning to FIGS. 285-23 and executing the process of step 063AKS516, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to “10” which is a value corresponding to the small hit end process (step 063AKS517), and releases the small hit. End the middle process.

FIG. 285-26 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S120 of the special symbol process process as the small hit end process for the feature unit 063AK.

When the small hit end process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the passage notification effect waiting time has elapsed (step 063AKS601). In step 063AKS601, the CPU 103 updates by subtracting 1 from the passage notification effect waiting time timer value, and waits for the passage notification effect depending on whether or not the updated passage notification effect waiting time timer value is "0". Determine if time has passed. When it is determined that the passage notification effect waiting time has not elapsed (step 063KS601; No), the CPU 103 ends the small hit end process.

When it is determined that the passage notification effect waiting time has elapsed (step 063AKS617), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot area passage flag is on (step 063AKS602). When it is determined that the jackpot area passage flag is on (step 063AKS602; Yes), the CPU 103 clears the jackpot area passage flag and sets it to the off state (step 063AKS603).

After executing the process of step 063AKS603, the CPU 103 sets the big hit type buffer value according to the small hit type (step 063AKS604). Specifically, in step 063AKS604, if the small hit type is "small hit A" controlled to the big hit gaming state of "big hit A" after the end of the small hit gaming state, the big hit type buffer value is set to "big hit A". While setting the corresponding "0", if the small hit type is "small hit B" which is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "big hit B" after the end of the small hit gaming state, the big hit type buffer value is set to "big hit B". Set to "1" corresponding to "". The small hit type may be specified based on the small hit type buffer value.

After executing the process of step 063AKS604, the CPU 103 sets a predetermined time as the jackpot start effect waiting time (step 063AKS605), and transmits a hit start designation command according to the jackpot from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. (Step 063AKS606). After executing the process of step 063AKS606, the CPU 103 clears the time saving flag to turn it off (step 063AKS607), and sends a game state specification command indicating a normal state from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. Make the settings (step 063AKS608). Next, the CPU 103 sets the open count value to a value corresponding to the upper limit of the number of rounds in the big hit game state (step 063AKS609), and clears the time reduction counter (063AKS610). After that, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to "4" which is a value corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (step 063AKS611), and then ends the small hit end processing.

When it is determined in step 063AKS602 that the jackpot area passing flag is not on (step 063AKS602; No), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving area passing flag is on (step 063AKS612). When it is determined that the time saving area passing flag is on (step 063AKS612; Yes), the CPU 103 clears the time saving area passing flag and sets it to the off state (step 063AKS613).

After executing the process of step 063AKS613, the CPU 103 sets the time saving flag to the on state (step 063AKS614), and sets the time saving number count value according to the small hit type (step 063AKS615). Specifically, in step 063AKS615, if the small hit type is "small hit C", which is controlled to the time reduction state over the period from the end of the small hit gaming state until the variable display is executed five times, the time reduction count value. Is set to "5", while if the small hit type is "small hit D", which is controlled to be in a time saving state over a period until the variable display is executed once after the end of the small hit gaming state, the time saving number count is counted. Set the value to "1". The small hit type may be specified based on the small hit type buffer value. After executing the process of step 063AKS615, the CPU 103 makes a setting for transmitting the game state designation command indicating the time saving state from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step 063AKS616).

When it is determined in step 063AKS612 that the time saving area passing flag is not on (step 063AKS612; No), the CPU 103 clears the losing area passing flag and sets it to the off state (step 063AKS617).

After performing the process of step 063AKS616 or step 063AKS617, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special figure process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step 063AKS618), and then performs the small hit end process. finish.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the small hit end process is started in response to the end of the small hit opening process in which the large winning opening is opened, and the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 (step 063AKS612). ; Yes), in the small hit end process, the time saving flag is set to the ON state (step 063AKS614). With such a configuration, when the big winning opening 063AK4 is controlled to the open state, if the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20, the big winning opening 063AK4 is not controlled to the time saving state until it is controlled to the closed state. It is configured.

In the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 277, the feature unit 063AK executes each of the above-mentioned processes as the process in the special symbol process process of step S25, and also executes the above-mentioned processes as the information output process of step S23. Similarly, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 284-36 is executed. With such a configuration, in the information output process of step S23, the feature unit 063AK has the jackpot signal 1 indicating that the jackpot is being hit, and the jackpot signal 1 indicating that the jackpot is being hit, and the jackpot is being hit or the time is shortened (during the special prize). In addition to the jackpot signal 2 indicating that there is), the jackpot signal 3 indicating that the time is being shortened is output to an external device such as a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1.

According to such a configuration, the game ball that has won the big winning opening 063AK4 in the small hit gaming state under the normal state and the case where the time saving state is controlled based on the end of the big hit gaming state has the time saving area 063AK4. In either case, the time saving state is controlled after the end of the small hit game state based on the passage, or the time saving state or the consecutive villa state can be preferably specified in the external device.

FIG. 285-27 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S171 of the effect control process process as the variable display start setting process for the feature unit 063AK.

When the variable display start setting process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the sub-side time saving flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 is on (step 063AKS701). The sub-side time saving flag is a flag indicating that the time saving state is controlled. When it is determined that the sub-side time reduction flag is on (step 063AKS701; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 sets the sub-side time reduction count value, which is the stored value of the sub-side time reduction counter provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122. It is updated by subtracting one (step 063AKS702). The sub-side time reduction counter counts the number of time reductions (the remaining number of variable displays controlled in the time reduction state).

After executing the process of step 063AKS702, the effect control CPU 120 makes a setting for executing the time reduction number notification effect (step 063AKS703). In the present embodiment, as the time reduction number notification effect, it is possible to execute an effect of displaying a time reduction number notification image indicating the time reduction number on the screen of the image display device 5. In the time reduction number notification effect, the time reduction number notification image is displayed in a display mode indicating the current time reduction number based on the sub-side time reduction number count value. In the present embodiment, the time saving number notification effect is executed when the variable display is executed in the time saving state.

After executing the process of step 063AKS703, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the right-handed promotion effect flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 is on (step 063AKS704). When it is determined that the right-handed promotion effect flag is not on (step 063AKS704; No), the effect control CPU 120 sets the right-handed promotion effect flag to the on state (step 063AKS705), and controls to start the right-handed promotion effect. (Step 063AKS706).

After executing the process of step 063AKS706, the effect control CPU 120 sets the setting for executing the time saving rush effect to notify that the control to the time saving state has started (controlled from the normal state to the time saving state). (Step 063AKS707). In the present embodiment, as the time saving rush effect, the first time saving rush image showing the message "time saving!" And the message "Put the ball into the electric chew aiming to the right!" Are shown on the screen of the image display device 5. The effect of displaying the second time-saving rush image and is executed. The second time-saving rush image is a production image that urges the player to win a game ball in the variable winning ball device 6B. In the present embodiment, the time saving rush effect is executed when the variable display is first executed after being controlled from the normal state to the time saving state.

After executing the process of step 063AKS707, or when it is determined in step 063AKS701 that the sub-side time saving flag is not on (step 063AKS701; No), when it is determined in step 063AKS704 that the right-handed promotion effect flag is on. (Step 063AKS704; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the special figure display result is a “big hit” based on the display result designation command transmitted from the main board 11 (step 063AKS708). When it is determined that the special symbol display result is "big hit" (step 063AKS708; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 is a decoration that is a jackpot combination as a final stop symbol that is a definite decorative symbol that is a variable display result of the decorative symbol. The combination of symbols is determined (step 063AKS709). In step 063AKS709, the effect control CPU 120 obtains the decorative symbol of the jackpot combination as the final decorative symbol by, for example, performing a random number lottery with reference to the decorative symbol determination table of the jackpot combination prepared in advance stored in the ROM 121. decide.

When it is determined in step 063AKS708 that the special figure display result is not a "big hit" (step 063AKS708; No), the effect control CPU 120 displays the special figure based on the display result designation command transmitted from the main board 11. It is determined whether or not the result is a "small hit" (step 063AKS710). When it is determined that the special figure display result is not "small hit" (step 063AKS710; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines a combination of decorative symbols to be a loss combination as the final decorative symbol (step 063AKS711). In step 063AKS711, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, a random number lottery by referring to the decoration symbol determination table of the loss combination prepared in advance stored in the ROM 121 to obtain the decoration symbol of the loss combination as the final decoration symbol. decide.

When it is determined in step 063AKS710 that the special figure display result is "small hit" (step 063AKS710; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the sub-side time saving flag is on (step 063AKS712). ..

When it is determined that the sub-side time reduction flag is not set to the ON state (step 063AKS712; No), the effect control CPU 120 sets the normal state small hit time confirmation decoration symbol determination table shown in FIGS. 285-28 (b). By performing a random number lottery using the random number lottery, FIG. 285 is used as a fixed decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is a combination of small hits depending on whether the small hit type is "small hit A" to "small hit E". Any one of the first small hit symbol to the fifth small hit symbol shown in −28 (a) is determined (step 063AKS713). Whether the small hit type is "small hit A" to "small hit E" may be specified based on a display result designation command or the like transmitted from the main board 11. On the other hand, when it is determined that the sub-side time saving flag is set to the ON state (step 063AKS712; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines the small hit time confirmation decorative symbol for the time saving state shown in FIG. 285-28 (c). By performing a random number lottery using the table, as a fixed decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that becomes a small hit combination according to which of "small hit A" and "small hit E" the small hit type is. Any one of the first small hit symbol to the fifth small hit symbol shown in FIGS. 285-28 (a) is determined (step 063AKS714).

In the first small hit symbol shown in FIGS. 285-28 (a), the decorative symbol indicating the number "7" is displayed in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and is "middle". It is a combination of decorative symbols in which a rectangular decorative symbol in red indicating a message of "V" suggesting that the jackpot game state is controlled in the decorative symbol display area 5C of the above is displayed. As for the second small hit symbol, the decorative symbol indicating the number "7" is displayed in each of the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the large hit is displayed in the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C. It is a combination of decorative symbols in which a rectangular decorative symbol in blue indicating the message "V" suggesting that the game is controlled is displayed. As for the third small hit symbol, the decorative symbol indicating the number "7" is displayed in each of the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the time is shortened in the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C. It is a combination of decorative symbols in which a rectangular decorative symbol in red indicating the message "hour" suggesting that the state is controlled is displayed. As for the 4th small hit symbol, the decorative symbol indicating the number "7" is displayed in each of the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the time is shortened in the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C. It is a combination of decorative symbols in which a rectangular decorative symbol in blue indicating the message "hour" suggesting that the state is controlled is displayed. As for the 5th small hit symbol, the decorative symbol indicating the number "7" is displayed in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C is displayed. It is a combination of decorative patterns in which a white rectangular decorative pattern indicating the message "small" is displayed. The first small hit symbol and the second small hit symbol are a combination of decorative symbols suggesting that the big hit gaming state is controlled. The third small hit symbol and the fourth small hit symbol are a combination of decorative symbols suggesting that the time saving state is controlled.

In the small hit determination decorative symbol determination table for the normal state shown in FIG. 285-28 (b), when the small hit type is "small hit A" or "small hit B" in which the game ball passes through the large hit area 063AK19. , The fixed decorative symbol is determined to be the 4th small hit symbol at a higher rate than the 5th small hit symbol, and is determined to be the 3rd small hit symbol at a higher rate than the 4th small hit symbol, and is determined from the 3rd small hit symbol. Is determined to be the second small hit symbol at a high rate, and is determined to be the first small hit symbol at a higher rate than the second small hit symbol. With such a configuration, the degree of expectation that the game ball passes through the big hit area 063AK19 and is controlled to the big hit gaming state after the end of the small hit gaming state is when the first small hit symbol is derived and displayed as a definite decorative symbol. This is higher than when the second small hit symbol is derived and displayed, and when the second small hit symbol is derived and displayed as a definite decorative symbol, it is higher than when the third small hit symbol is derived and displayed. It was higher, and when the 3rd small hit symbol was derived and displayed as the definite decoration symbol, it was higher than when the 4th small hit symbol was derived and displayed, and the 4th small hit symbol was derived and displayed as the definite decoration symbol. The time is higher than when the fifth small hit symbol is derived and displayed. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the first small hit symbol and the fifth small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the definite decorative symbol, and to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the small hit fixed decoration symbol determination table for the normal state, as shown in FIG. 285-28 (b), the third small hit symbol and the fourth small hit symbol suggesting that the fixed decorative symbol is controlled to the time saving state. It is configured so that it can be determined as a small hit pattern. According to such a configuration, in the normal state, the player can derive and display the third small hit symbol or the fourth small hit symbol, which suggests that the fixed decorative symbol is controlled in the time saving state. Based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the time saving area 063AK20, the time saving transition control is performed to give a feeling of expectation that the game ball is controlled to the time saving state, and the game interest can be improved.

Specifically, in the small hit fixed decoration symbol determination table for the normal state, as shown in FIG. 285-28 (b), the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit C" in which the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20. In the case of "small hit D", the definite decorative symbol is determined to be the first small hit symbol at a higher rate than the fifth small hit symbol, and is determined to be the second small hit symbol at a higher rate than the first small hit symbol. , The 4th small hit symbol is determined at a higher rate than the 2nd small hit symbol, and the 3rd small hit symbol is determined at a higher rate than the 4th small hit symbol. With such a configuration, the expectation that the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 and is controlled to the time saving state after the end of the small hit gaming state is when the third small hit symbol is derived and displayed as a definite decorative symbol. However, it is higher than when the 4th small hit symbol is derived and displayed, and when the 4th small hit symbol is derived and displayed as a definite decorative symbol, it is higher than when the 2nd small hit symbol is derived and displayed. , When the second small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the final decorative symbol, it is higher than when the first small hit symbol is derived and displayed, and when the first small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the final decorative symbol. Is higher than when the fifth small hit symbol is derived and displayed. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the first small hit symbol and the fifth small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the definite decorative symbol, and to improve the interest of the game.

On the other hand, in the small hit time-saving fixed decoration symbol determination table for the time-saving state shown in FIG. 285-28 (c), the third small hit symbol and the fourth small, which suggest that the fixed decoration symbol is controlled to the time-saving state. It is configured so that it is not determined by the winning pattern. According to such a configuration, in the time-saving state, when the game ball passes through the time-saving region 063AK20, the time-saving transition control based on the passage is not performed, but the time-saving state is controlled as a definite decorative symbol. The third small hit symbol or the fourth small hit symbol is derived and displayed, and the player is expected to be controlled to the time saving state based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the time saving area 063AK20. It is configured so that it is possible to prevent the player from being embraced and to suppress the decline in the interest in the game. As described above, in the present embodiment, the third small hit symbol or the fourth small hit symbol, which suggests that the fixed decoration symbol is controlled in the time saving state in the normal state, can be derived and displayed, while the fixed decoration in the time saving state can be derived and displayed. Since the third small hit symbol or the fourth small hit symbol is configured so as not to be derived and displayed as a symbol, a suitable effect can be performed according to the state.

Returning to FIGS. 285-27, after executing the processes of step 063AKS709, step 063AKS711, step 063AKS713 or step 063AKS714, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect control pattern (step 063AKS715). In step 063AKS715, the effect control CPU 120 has a plurality of types of effect control patterns (special figure variation time effect control pattern) prepared (set) in advance according to the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern designation command received from the main board 11. ), And set it as the effect control pattern to be used. When the setting for executing the time reduction number of times notification effect is made in step 063AKS703, the effect control pattern (time reduction number of times notification effect control pattern) corresponding to the time reduction number of times notification effect is selected and used in step 063AKS715. Set as a pattern. When the setting for executing the time saving rush effect control is made in step 063AKS707, as the effect control pattern (time saving rush effect control pattern) to select and use the effect control pattern corresponding to the time saving rush effect in step 063AKS715. set.

After executing the process of step 063AKS715, the effect control CPU 120 sets the initial value of the effect control process timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 according to the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern designation command received from the main board 11. Set (step 063AKS716).

After executing the process of step 063AKS716, the effect control CPU 120 makes a setting for starting variable display such as a decorative pattern on the screen of the image display device 5 (step 063AKS717). In step 063AKS717, the effect control CPU 120 transmits, for example, a display control command (command) specified by the display control data included in the effect control pattern determined in step 063AKS715 to the VDP of the display control unit 123. Variable display of decorative symbols is started in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the screen of the image display device 5.

After executing the process of step 063AKS717, the effect control CPU 120 sets the settings for updating the display of the hold display and the active display displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in response to the start of the variable display. (Step 063AKS718).

After executing the process of step 063AKS718, the effect control CPU 120 updates the value of the effect process flag to "2", which is a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step 063AKS719), and performs the variable display start setting process. finish.

FIG. 285-29 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S172 of the effect control process process as the effect process during variable display with respect to the feature unit 063AK.

When the effect processing during variable display is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the special figure variation time, which is the variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern, has elapsed based on, for example, the timer value of the effect control process timer. Is determined (step 063AKS801). Specifically, in step 063AKS801, the effect control CPU 120 is updated by, for example, subtracting 1 from the timer value of the effect control process timer, and the effect control pattern determined in step 063AKS715 (special figure variation effect control pattern). ) To determine whether or not the end code has been read corresponding to the updated timer value, thereby determining whether or not the variable display time has elapsed.

When it is determined that the variable display time has not elapsed (step 063AKS801; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the reach effect period is such that the reach effect is executed based on the timer value of the effect control process timer. (Step 063AKS802). The reach effect period may be predetermined, for example, in the effect control pattern (effect control pattern when the special figure fluctuates) determined in step 063AKS715. When it is determined that the reach effect period is reached (step 063AKS802; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 controls to execute the reach effect (step 063AKS803).

After executing the process of step 063AKS803, or when it is determined in step 063AKS802 that it is not the reach effect period (step 063AKS802; No), the effect control CPU 120 has a reduced number of times based on the timer value of the effect control process timer and the like. It is determined whether or not it is the time-reduced number of times notification effect period in which the notification effect is executed (step 063AKS804). The time reduction number notification effect period may be predetermined, for example, in the effect control pattern (time reduction number notification effect control pattern) determined in step 063AKS715. When it is determined that the time reduction number notification effect period is reached (step 063AKS804; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 controls to execute the time reduction number notification effect (step 063AKS805).

After executing the process of step 063AKS805, or when it is determined in step 063AKS804 that it is not the time reduction number notification effect period (step 063AKS804; No), the effect control CPU 120 is based on the timer value of the effect control process timer and the like. It is determined whether or not the time saving suggestion effect is executed in the time saving suggestion effect period (step 063AKS806). The time saving suggestion effect period may be predetermined, for example, in the effect control pattern (effect control pattern when the special figure fluctuates) determined in step 063AKS715. When it is determined that the time reduction suggestion effect period is reached (step 063AKS806; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 controls to execute the time reduction suggestion effect (step 063AKS807).

After executing the process of step 063AKS807, or when it is determined in step 063AKS806 that it is not the time saving suggestion effect period (step 063AKS806; No), the effect control CPU 120 reduces the time based on the timer value of the effect control process timer and the like. It is determined whether or not the rush effect is executed in the time-saving rush effect period (step 063AKS808). The time-saving rushing effect period may be predetermined, for example, in the effect control pattern (time-saving rushing effect control pattern) determined in step 063AKS715. When it is determined that the time saving rush effect period is reached (step 063AKS808; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 controls to execute the time saving rush effect (step 063AKS809).

After executing the process of step 063AKS809, or when it is determined in step 063AKS808 that it is not the time saving rush effect period (step 063AKS808; No), the effect control CPU 120 is set in the effect control pattern determined in step 063AKS715. Based on this, other control is performed to execute the effect during the variable display including the variable display operation of the decorative symbol (step 063AKS810), and the effect process during the variable display is terminated.

When it is determined in step 063AKS801 that the variable display time has elapsed (step 063AKS801; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a symbol determination command has been received from the main board 11 (step 063AKS811). When it is determined that the symbol confirmation command has not been received (step 063AKS811; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the effect processing during variable display.

When it is determined that the symbol confirmation command has been received (step 063AKS811; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 transmits a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123, thereby transmitting "left" and "middle". In each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "right", the definite decorative symbol as the final stop symbol determined in step 063AKS709, step 063AKS711, or step 063AKS712 is derived and displayed (step 063AKS812).

After executing the process of step 063AKS812, the effect control CPU 120 sets a predetermined time as the waiting time for receiving the hit start designation command (step 063AKS813), and sets the value of the effect process flag to the value corresponding to the special figure hit wait process. It is updated to "3" (step 063AKS814), and the effect processing during variable display is terminated.

FIG. 285-30 (a) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S173 of the effect control process process as the special figure hit wait process for the feature unit 063AK.

When the special figure hit wait process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the hit start designation command reception waiting time has elapsed (step 063AKS901). When it is determined that the hit start designation command reception waiting time has elapsed (step 063AKS901; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the sub-side time reduction flag is on (step 063AKS902).

When it is determined that the sub-side time reduction flag is on (step 063AKS902; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the sub-side time reduction count value is "0" (step 063AKS903). When it is determined that the sub-side time reduction count value is "0" (step 063AKS903; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 clears the sub-side time reduction flag and sets it to the off state (step 063AKS904) to promote right-handed striking. After clearing the effect flag and setting it to the off state (step 063AKS905), control is performed to end the right-handed promotion effect (step 063AKS906).

In FIGS. 285-36 (e), after the small hit game state ends, when the game state is controlled to the time saving state without changing, the next variable display is started, and “left”, “middle”, It shows a state in which variable display is executed in each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R on the “right”. In the state shown in FIG. 285-36 (e), the display mode of the time reduction number notification image AK16 is updated in response to the start of variable display, and is displayed in a display mode indicating that the time reduction number is 2 times. Has been done. Further, in the state shown in FIG. 285-36 (e), the right-handed promotion effect is subsequently executed when the small hit game state is controlled, and the right-handed promotion image AK7 is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5. It is displayed in.

As described above, in the feature unit 063AK, the small hit symbol (special display result) is derived and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game in the normal state, and is formed in the special variable winning ball device 7 (variable means). When the game ball (game medium) passes through the time saving area 063AK20 (special area) when the large winning opening 063AK4 is controlled to the open state, the time saving transition control is performed based on the passage, and the time saving from the normal state is shortened. While controlling to the state (special state), the small hit symbol is derived and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game when the time is shortened, and when the large winning opening 063AK4 is controlled to the open state, the game ball is shortened. When the region 063AK20 is passed, the time saving transition control based on the passage is not performed. Further, in the feature unit 063AK, the small hit symbol is derived and displayed in the special figure game in the normal state, and when the large winning opening 063AK4 is controlled to the open state, the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 and the time saving state. In the special figure game, the small hit symbol is derived and displayed, and when the large winning opening 063AK4 is controlled to the open state, it is configured to be able to execute a different effect from the case where the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20. .. According to such a configuration, suitable control can be performed according to the state.

Further, in the feature unit 063AK, the same effect is produced when the game ball passes through the time-saving area 063AK20 in the time-saving state and when the game ball does not pass through either the jackpot area 063AK19 or the time-saving area 063AK20 in the time-saving state. It is configured to be viable. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest in playing games.

Further, the feature unit 063AK is configured to be able to execute different effects depending on whether the game ball passes through the jackpot area 063AK19 in the time saving state and the game ball passes through the jackpot area 063AK19 in the normal state. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game.

Further, in the feature unit 063AK, different effects are variably displayed depending on whether the small hit symbol is derived and displayed in the special figure game in the normal state and when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed in the special figure game in the time saving state. It is configured to be executable during execution. According to such a configuration, it is possible to perform a suitable effect depending on the state.

Further, in the feature unit 063AK, when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed in the special figure game in the normal state, it is controlled to the time saving state as an effect suggesting that the small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the definite special symbol. It is configured so that the time saving suggestion effect suggesting that can be executed during the execution of the variable display. According to such a configuration, it is possible to execute various effects and improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the feature unit 063AK, when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the definite special symbol in the second special symbol game, it is higher than when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the definite special symbol in the first special symbol game. It is configured to be controlled in a time-saving state at a rate. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether the small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the definite special symbol in the second special symbol game, and to improve the game interest.

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

In the above embodiment, as a look-ahead notice effect, the display mode of the hold display displayed on the image display device 5 is displayed in a display mode different from the display mode in the normal time, whereby the variable display corresponding to the hold display is displayed. In the display, the game ball that is controlled to the small hit gaming state or has entered the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit gaming state is either the big hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, or the loss area 063AK21. It may be configured to enable the hold display change effect for notifying the passing of the image.

For example, by changing the display color of the hold display corresponding to the variable display that has not been started yet by the hold display change effect, the display color of the hold display is changed to one of blue, green, and red different from the white in the normal time, so that the hold display can be displayed. The game ball that has entered the big winning opening 063AK4, which is controlled to the small hit gaming state by making the change in the display mode recognizable and controlled to the open state in the small hit gaming state, has the big hit area 063AK19, the time saving area. It may be configured so that it can be suggested that it passes through either 063AK20 or the loss area 063AK21.

Specifically, when the hold display change effect is configured to be executable as a look-ahead notice, the look-ahead judgment is performed based on the occurrence of the start prize in the start prize determination process executed in step S101 of the special symbol process process. I just need to be. In the look-ahead determination, for example, a random number lottery is performed by referring to the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (a) and the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 285-12 (b). , Fig. 285-14 when the process of pre-reading whether the variable display result is "big hit", "small hit", or "missing", or when the variable display result is pre-reading as "small hit" By performing a random number lottery with reference to the small hit type determination table shown in (b), a process of pre-reading and determining whether the small hit type is "small hit A" to "small hit E" is performed. Just do it. After that, in the start winning determination process, a setting for transmitting a start winning command indicating the result of the look-ahead determination may be made.

The start winning command that has been set to be transmitted in the start winning determination process is mainly due to the command control process being executed in step S27 of the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 277. It is transmitted from the board 11 to the effect control board 12. The start winning command transmitted from the main board 11 is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 at the time of starting winning by executing the command analysis process in step S75 of the effect control main process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 279. It may be stored in the command buffer.

In this case, in the pre-reading notice setting process executed in step S161 of the effect control process process, whether or not the hold display change effect as the pre-reading notice effect is executed in response to receiving the start winning command from the main board 11. And the execution mode may be determined.

In the hold storage stored when deciding whether or not to execute the hold display change effect and the execution mode, the hold that the variable display result is "big hit" and the variable display result are "small hit", and the small hit type is , If any of the "small hit C" or "small hit D" hold in which the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 is included, after the end of the variable display executed first, that is, the destination By changing from the normal state to the time saving state before executing the variable display corresponding to the hold of the read notice target, the variable display is performed at the time of pre-reading and at the time of executing the variable display corresponding to the hold of the read notice target. Results and fluctuation patterns may differ. In such a case, there will be an inconsistency between the suggested content of the hold display change effect as the look-ahead notice effect and the actual variable display result or fluctuation pattern, which will lead to distrust of the player and reduce the game interest. There is a risk.

Therefore, in the stored hold, a hold in which the variable display result is "big hit" and a hold in which the variable display result is "small hit" and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D". And, if any of the above is included, the execution of the hold display change effect may be restricted. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest in playing games.

For example, in the pre-reading notice setting process, the variable display result is "big hit" and the variable display result is "small hit" in the stored hold, and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit C". If neither of the hold that becomes "small hit D" is included, the variable display result and the small hit type are according to the decision ratio shown in the normal hold change determination table shown in FIG. 285-37 (a). , Whether or not to execute the hold display change effect and the execution mode may be determined. On the other hand, in the stored hold, the variable display result is "big hit" and the variable display result is "small hit", and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D". When any of the following is included, the variable display result and the small hit are according to the determination ratio shown in the normal hold change determination table shown in the restricted hold change determination table shown in FIG. 285-37 (b). Depending on the type, whether or not to execute the hold display change effect and the execution mode may be determined. In the stored hold, a hold in which the variable display result is "big hit" and a hold in which the variable display result is "small hit" and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D". It may be determined whether or not is included by checking the contents of the buffer at the time of starting winning.

In the normal hold change determination table, as shown in FIG. 285-37 (a), when the variable display result is "big hit", the hold display change effect is held at a higher rate than determined to be not executed (white). The display mode of the display is determined to be blue, the display mode of the hold display is determined to be green at a higher rate than blue, and the display mode of the hold display is determined to be red at a rate higher than green. With such a configuration, the jackpot expectation is higher when the hold display is displayed in red than when it is displayed in green, and when the hold display is displayed in green, it is in blue. It is higher than when it is displayed, and when the hold display is displayed in blue, it is higher than when it is displayed in white (when the hold display change effect is not executed). On the other hand, in the hold change determination table at the time of restriction, as shown in FIG. 285-37 (b), the execution of the hold display change effect in which the jackpot expectation degree is green or more is restricted. In the example shown in FIG. 285-37 (b), the hold display change effect in which the hold display is displayed in blue can be executed, but it may be limited to "no execution".

In the normal hold change determination table shown in FIG. 285-37 (a) and the restricted hold change determination table shown in FIG. 285-37 (b), variable display is performed when the variable display result is "small hit". An example is shown in which the display mode is determined in the same manner as when the result is "big hit", but this is only an example, the variable display result is "small hit", and the small hit type is "small hit A" or. When the display mode is peculiar to "small hit B" (for example, "big hit?") Or when the variable display result is "small hit" and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D". There may be a peculiar display mode (“time?”). With such a configuration, the variation of the hold display change effect increases, and the player's attention can be attracted.

In the above embodiment, the special figure display result is "small hit" in the hold storage corresponding to the second special figure game stored after the time saving state is completed, and the small hit type is the game ball in the time saving area 063AK20. Even if it is configured so that different effects can be executed depending on whether the reserved storage that becomes "small hit C" or "small hit D" passing through the above is included and the case where such reserved storage is not included. good. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game.

For example, in the hold storage corresponding to the second special figure game stored after the time saving state ends, the special figure display result becomes "small hit", and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D". If the hold memory that becomes There is a hold in which the special figure display result is "small hit" and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D" in the hold memory corresponding to)). Just do it. On the other hand, the special figure display result is "small hit" in the hold storage corresponding to the second special figure game stored after the time saving state is completed, and the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D". If the hold that becomes is not included, the special figure display result will be "small hit" in the hold memory corresponding to the second special figure game that it will not be controlled to the time saving state again by any of the remaining hold. , There is no hold for which the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D")). As an example, both the return success effect and the return failure effect are the effects in which the combination of different decorative symbols is stopped and displayed after performing the effect of inciting whether or not the time is controlled again as a common effect. All you need is.

In the above embodiment, as an effect corresponding to the small hit variation, the game ball that has won the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit game state does not suggest that the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20. Is configured to be able to execute a big hit fanning effect suggesting that the game ball passes through the big hit area 063AK19 and the game ball passes through the loss area 063AK21, and the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 in the normal state. Based on this, after performing a loss effect suggesting that the game ball did not pass through the big hit area 063AK19, the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20, and based on the passage, the time saving state is set after the end of the small hit gaming state. Relief effects suggesting that they are controlled may be configured to be feasible. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game.

For example, as a big hit fanning effect, as shown in FIG. 285-38 (a), the message "big hit" is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5, suggesting that the game ball passes through the big hit area 063AK19. An effect of displaying the jackpot fanning image AK19 including the image AK20, the loss suggestion image AK21 which indicates the message of "loss" and suggests that the game ball passes through the loss region 063AK21 may be configured to be feasible. In this case, based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the time-saving region 063AK20, as a loss effect, as shown in FIG. 285-38 (b), an effect of highlighting the loss suggestion image AK21 included in the jackpot fanning image AK19. Just run. In the state shown in FIG. 285-38 (b), the frame line of the loss suggestion image AK21 is displayed thicker than the frame line of the jackpot suggestion image AK20 which is not highlighted, so that the loss suggestion image AK21 is highlighted. There is. After performing the effect operation shown in FIG. 285-38 (b) as a loss effect, as a relief effect, as shown in FIG. 285-38 (c), a part of the area where the loss suggestion image AK21 is displayed is displayed. The message "time saving" is shown, the time saving suggestion image AK22 suggesting that the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 is displayed, the highlighting of the loss suggestion image AK21 is terminated, and the time saving suggestion image AK22 is highlighted. All you have to do is execute the production. In the state shown in FIG. 285-38 (c), the frame line of the time saving suggestion image AK22 is displayed thicker than the frame lines of the unhighlighted jackpot suggestion image AK20 and the loss suggestion image AK21, so that the time saving suggestion image AK22 is displayed. Is highlighted.

In the above embodiment, in the special symbol normal processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 285-11, after determining whether or not the special figure display result is a “big hit” (step 063AKS106), the special figure display result is displayed in step 063AKS106. When it is determined that the "big hit" is not determined (step 063AKS107; No), it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is the "small hit" (step 063AKS118). However, this is only an example, and the process of determining whether or not the special figure display result is a "big hit" and the process of determining whether or not the special figure display result is a "small hit" are optional. It can be executed in the order of. For example, after executing a process of determining whether or not to set the special figure display result as a "small hit", when the process does not determine that the special figure display result is a "small hit", the special figure is displayed. It may be configured to execute a process of determining whether or not the result is a "big hit". Alternatively, by determining whether the special figure display result is "big hit", "small hit", or "missing" by a single process, it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is "big hit". The process of determining whether or not to set the special figure display result as a "small hit" may be executed at the same time.

In the above embodiment, only one of the game balls that won the big winning opening 063AK4 in the small hit game state flows down to the distribution part 063AK18 through the distribution part supply path 063AK8, and the one is Except for the game ball, it has been described as being discharged to the outside of the special variable winning ball device 7 through the discharge path 063AK9. However, this is only an example, and a plurality of game balls among the game balls that have won the large winning opening 063AK4 in the small hit game state are configured to enter the distribution section 063AK18 through the distribution section supply path 063AK8. You may. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game.

In this configuration, one game ball enters the distribution section 063AK18, passes through one of the jackpot area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, and the loss area 063AK21, and then at least one other game ball. May enter the distribution section 063AK18 and pass through the other areas of the jackpot area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20 and the loss area 063AK21. In this case, among the plurality of game balls that have entered the distribution unit 063AK18 in the small hit game state, the game ball that first entered the distribution unit 063AK18 has passed through any of the large hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, and the loss area 063AK21. It suffices to control the gaming state after the small hit gaming state ends based on the crab. For example, when the game ball that first enters the distribution unit 063AK18 in the small hit game state passes through the big hit area 063AK19, even if another game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 or the loss area 063AK21 after the passage, the first Based on the fact that the game ball of No. 1 has passed through the big hit area 063AK19, it may be controlled to the big hit game state after the end of the small hit game state.

Alternatively, of the plurality of game balls that have entered the distribution unit 063AK18 in the small hit game state, which of the large hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, and the loss area 063AK21 has passed the game ball that last entered the distribution unit 063AK18. You may control the gaming state after the small hit gaming state ends based on. For example, when the game ball that last entered the distribution unit 063AK18 in the small hit game state passes through the big hit area 063AK19, it is assumed that another game ball has passed through the time saving area 063AK20 or the loss area 063AK21 before the passage. Also, based on the fact that the last game ball has passed through the big hit area 063AK19, it may be controlled to the big hit game state after the end of the small hit game state.

Alternatively, a priority is set in advance between the big hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, and the loss area 063AK21, and a plurality of game balls that have entered the distribution unit 063AK18 in the small hit game state are set in the big hit area 063AK19. , Time saving area 063AK20 and loss area 063AK21, when passing through a plurality of areas, the game after the small hit game state is completed based on the passage to the area having the highest priority among the areas passed by the game ball. You may control the state. For example, the priority of the jackpot area 063AK19 may be set higher than the priority of the time saving area 063AK20, and the priority of the time saving area 063AK20 may be set higher than the priority of the lost area 063AK21. In this case, based on the fact that when a plurality of game balls that have entered the distribution unit 063AK18 pass through the jackpot area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, and the loss area 063AK21, the game balls pass through the jackpot area 063AK19 having the highest priority. Then, after the end of the small hit game state, it is controlled to the big hit game state.

In the above embodiment, in the case of the time saving state, when the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit game state passes through the time saving area 063AK20, the time saving transition control based on the passage is performed. I explained it as something that couldn't be done. However, this is only an example, and in the case of the time saving state, when the game ball winning the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit game state passes through the time saving area 063AK20, based on the passage. By performing the time saving transition control and controlling the time saving state for a predetermined period after the small hit game state ends, the period controlled to the time saving state may be extended. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game.

In this case, the effect of notifying that the period controlled to the time saving state has been extended based on the fact that the game ball that has entered the large winning opening 063AK4 has passed through the time saving area 063AK20 in the time saving state is produced. It may be configured to be feasible. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game. For example, as an effect of notifying that the period controlled to the time reduction state has been extended, a time reduction number recovery effect of increasing the time reduction number indicated by the time reduction number notification image AK16 may be performed.

In this case, in the time saving state, the suggestion regarding the passage between the jackpot area 063AK19 and the loss area 063AK21 is given without suggesting the passage of the time saving area 063AK20 (the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20). It is suggested that the game ball passes through the jackpot area 063AK19 and the game ball passes through the loss region 063AK21 without suggesting). It is suggested that the game ball passes through the jackpot area 063AK19, the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20, and the game ball passes through the loss area 063AK21. ) It may be configured so that the normal passing fanning effect can be executed. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game.

In the above embodiment, as an effect corresponding to the small hit fluctuation, the game ball that has entered the large winning opening 063AK4 controlled to the open state in the small hit gaming state has the large hit area 063AK19, the time saving area 063AK20, and the loss area 063AK21. An effect suggesting which of the above may be passed may be configured to be feasible during the execution of the small hit variation. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game. For example, if the small hit type is "small hit A" or "small hit B" in which the game ball passes through the large hit area 063AK19, the effect suggesting that the game ball passes through the large hit area 063AK19 is produced. If the small hit type is "small hit C" or "small hit D" in which the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20, an effect suggesting that the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 is produced. If the small hit type is "small hit E", which is executed during the execution of the small hit variation and the game ball passes through the loss area 063AK21, a small hit suggests that the game ball passes through the loss area 063AK21. It may be configured to execute during the execution of the fluctuation.

In the above embodiment, the normal time passing fanning effect and the short time passing fanning effect are started in response to the end of the small hit variation, the end of the small hit start effect, and the start of opening and closing of the large winning opening. Explained as. However, this is only an example, and the normal time passing fanning effect and the short time passing fanning effect may be configured to be able to start from the execution of the small hit variation. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the hobby of the game. In particular, when the normal time passing fanning effect is configured to be executable during the execution of the small hit variation, the game ball is a big hit in the small hit gaming state by displaying the normal passing fanning image AK1 during the execution of the small hit variation. Based on the expectation that the game ball will be controlled to the big hit game state after the end of the small hit game state based on passing through the area 063AK19, and the small hit game based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the time saving area 063AK20 in the small hit game state. It is possible to suggest the degree of expectation that the game ball is controlled to be shortened after the end of the state and the degree of expectation that the game ball passes through the loss region 063AK21 in the small hit game state, and the game interest can be improved.

In the above embodiment, when the game ball passes through the time-saving area 063AK20 in the normal state, the time-saving area passage notification image AK13 indicating the message "lucky!" Is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 in the time saving state, it is a pity! The loss region passage notification image AK17 indicating the message "" is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 as the loss region passage notification effect is executed. However, this is only an example, and the effect executed when the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 in the normal state is different from the effect executed when the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 in the time saving state. It may be a production of. For example, when the game ball passes through the time-saving region 063AK20 in the normal state, the time-saving region light emitting unit 063AK26 is emitted, while when the game ball passes through the time-saving region 063AK20 in the time-saving state, the time-saving region light emitting unit 063AK26 is performed. It may be possible to perform an effect of not emitting light (turning off). Alternatively, when the game ball passes through the time saving area 063AK20 in the normal state, the notification voice indicating the message "time saving!" Is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, while the game ball outputs the time saving area 063AK20 in the time saving state. When passing through, the effect of not outputting the notification voice from the speakers 8L and 8R may be performed.

In the above embodiment, the special variable winning ball device 7 has been described as having a jackpot area 063AK19, a time saving area 063AK20, and a loss area 063AK21, but this is only an example. The special variable winning ball device 7 may be configured not to include the jackpot area 063AK19 or the loss area 063AK21 while the time saving area 063AK20 is provided. According to such a configuration, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the special variable winning ball device 7 may be configured to include a plurality of time saving regions 063AK20. In this case, even if the small hit gaming state is configured to be controlled to the short hit state for different periods after the small hit gaming state ends, depending on which of the plurality of time saving regions 063AK20 the game ball has passed through. good. For example, the time saving area 063AK20 is configured to include a first time saving area and a second time saving area, and when the game ball passes through the first time saving area in the small hit gaming state, the small hit gaming state. When the game ball passes through the second time-saving area in the small-hit game state, after the small-hit game state ends, while controlling the time-saving state for the period until the variable display is executed five times after the end of , It may be configured to control the time saving state for a period until the variable display is executed once. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the plurality of time-saving regions 063AK20 the game ball passes through in the small hit game state, and to improve the game interest.

In the above embodiment, in the low probability low base state as a normal state, the time saving transition control is performed based on the fact that the game ball has passed the time saving area 063AK20 in the small hitting gaming state, and the small hitting gaming state is performed. It was explained that it is controlled to the time saving state after the end of. However, this is only an example, and in the high-accuracy low-base state, the time-saving transition control is performed based on the fact that the game ball has passed the time-saving region 063AK20 in the small-hit gaming state, and the small-hit gaming state is performed. It may be configured to be controlled to a time saving state after the end of.

Any part or all of each of the above configurations can be combined with each other in any way.

Each configuration relating to the feature portion 063AK may be appropriately combined with a part or all of each configuration relating to the other feature portions. The feature portions thus combined or the individual feature portions that are not combined may be appropriately combined with a part or all of each configuration related to other feature portions.

For example, the feature unit 079SG may be introduced into the pachinko gaming machine 1 related to the feature unit 063AK. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 related to the feature unit 063AK, the production is performed in the first period such as the normal time passing fanning effect, the time saving passing fanning effect, and the reach effect of Super Reach A to Super Reach C as predetermined effects. An effect moving image having a progress speed of the first speed can be displayed on the image display device 5 as a display means, and the progress speed of the effect is the first in the second period of the predetermined effect after the first period. An effect video having a second speed slower than the speed can be displayed on the image display device 5, and the effect sound corresponding to the predetermined effect is the effect sound in both the first period and the second period. The speeds related to the above may be configured to be output at the same speed by the speakers 8L and 8R as sound output means. According to such a configuration, the progress speed of the effect video of the predetermined effect changes between the first period and the second period, but the normal time passing fanning effect, the time saving time passing fanning effect, and the super reach A to the predetermined effect Since the speed related to the effect sound corresponding to the reach effect of Super Reach C does not change between the first period and the second period, it is possible to prevent the player from giving a sense of discomfort.

(Explanation of feature 065AK)
The feature unit 065AK will be described. In the feature unit 065AK, the description of the parts (configuration, processing, etc.) common to the basic explanation will be omitted.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the basic explanation, after being controlled to the jackpot gaming state, it was possible to control to the high base state (time saving state). In the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature unit 065AK, in the low base state (normal state), the display result of the variable display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 20 is the predetermined "time saving symbol" among the "normal symbol loss". When becomes, it is controlled to the high base state (time saving state) regardless of the display result of the variable display of the special symbol. As a result, the game may shift from the low base state to the high base state without going through the big hit game state, so that it is possible to provide unexpected game playability.

In the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature unit 065AK, when the display result of the normal symbol is "time saving symbol", the state shifts from the low base state to the high base state even while the variable display of the special symbol is being executed. It has become like.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature unit 065AK, it is possible to execute a predetermined effect of suggesting / notifying the display result of the normal symbol or the display result of the special symbol. It is possible to suggest and notify that the display result of the normal symbol is "normal symbol hit" or "time saving symbol", or the display result of the special symbol is "big hit" by the predetermined effect. With such a predetermined effect, the player can expect which display result is suggested / notified, and the interest is improved.

(Structure of feature part 065AK)
FIG. 286-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 having the feature portion 065AK, and shows the layout of the main members. The pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature portion 065AK is different from the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the basic description shown in FIG. 274 in the arrangement of a part of the configuration. In addition, here, the part different from FIG. 274 will be mainly described, and the same number will be assigned to the same configuration, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature unit 065AK shown in FIG. 286-1, the gaming ball launched from the hitting ball launching device is the first path or the image display device which is the path on the left side of the frame surrounding the image display device 5. You will be guided to the lower side of the game area via the second route, which is the route on the right side of the frame surrounding 5, and you will either win (enter) each winning opening or go to the out opening without entering any winning opening. It is captured.

Launching a game ball so that the game ball passes through the first path on the left side of the image display device 5 is called left-handed, and launching the game ball so that the game ball passes through the second path on the right side of the image display device 5. Making it right-handed is called right-handed. The area where the left-struck game ball can be guided is called the left area, and the area where the right-struck game ball can be guided is also called the right area.

In the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature unit 065AK, the winning ball device 6A is provided below the image display device 5 and in the left region of the gaming area, similarly to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the basic explanation, while the winning ball device 6A is a variable winning machine. The ball device 6B and the special variable winning ball device 7 are provided in the lower right region of the image display device 5 and in the right region of the gaming area. Therefore, in the high base state where the variable winning ball device 6B (second starting winning opening) is open, or in the big hit game state where the special variable winning ball device 7 (large winning opening) is open, the game is played by right-handed hitting. In the low base state where the winning opening is not open, the game is played by left-handed.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature portion 065AK, the passing gates 41 are provided in the left region and the right region, so that the normal drawing game can be easily executed even in the low base state where the game is played by left-handed hitting. .. As a result, in the low base state, the display result of the normal symbol becomes a "time saving symbol", and it is possible to secure an opportunity to shift to the high base state.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature portion 065AK, the general winning openings 10 are provided in the left region and the right region. The general winning opening 10 may be provided in either area.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature portion 065AK, a main lamp 9a, a frame lamp 9b, an attacker lamp 9c, and a movable body lamp 9d are provided as the game effect lamp 9. The main lamp 9a is provided above the image display device 5 in the gaming machine frame 3, the frame lamp 9b is provided so as to surround the gaming area, and the attacker lamp 9c is a special variable winning prize in the gaming board 2. It is provided in the vicinity of the ball device 7. A movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided at a position above the image display device 5 of the game board 2, and the movable body lamp 9 is provided on the movable body 32.

Subsequently, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 65AK1 of the feature unit 065AK will be described. FIG. 286-2 is a flowchart showing an example of the normal symbol process process executed in step S26 of FIG. 278. In the normal symbol process process, when the CPU 103 detects that the gate switch 21 is in the ON state, that is, the game ball has passed through the gate 41 (step S411; Yes), the CPU 103 executes the gate switch pass process (step S412). do.

In the gate switch passing process in step S412, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the count value (gate passing storage number) of the gate passing storage counter has reached the maximum value (“4” in this example). If the maximum value is not reached, the count value of the gate passage storage counter is incremented by 1, the value of the random number for normal symbol determination, which is a software random number, is extracted and stored in the storage area corresponding to the value of the gate passage storage number. In addition, the number of lights on the normal figure hold display 25C is increased by 1. After that, one of the processes of steps S400 to S404 as shown below is executed according to the value of the normal symbol process flag.

In the normal symbol normal processing of step S400, the CPU 103 is not in a state where the normal symbol variation can be started (for example, the normal symbol variation display is not executed in the normal symbol display 20 and is a variable winning prize. If the ball device 6B is not in the open state) and the number of stored gates is not 0, the value of the random number for determining the normal symbol hit stored in the storage area and the normal symbol shown in FIG. 286-3. Using the determination table, it is determined whether or not to make a hit (whether or not the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a hit symbol) and whether or not to make it a time-saving symbol. If the game state is in the low base state (if the time saving flag is not set), the table shown in FIG. 286-3 (A) should be used, and if the game state is in the high base state (time saving flag is not set). B), the table shown in FIG. 286-3 (B) is used. Then, the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value (“1” in this example) indicating the normal symbol fluctuation pattern setting process (step S401).

In the normal symbol fluctuation pattern setting process of step S401, the CPU 103 normally sets a value corresponding to the variable display time (normal symbol fluctuation time) until the normal symbol is variably displayed and derived and displayed in the normal symbol process timer. Start the symbol process timer. In addition, a control for transmitting a command for designating the start of fluctuation of the normal symbol to the effect control board 12 is executed. Then, the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the normal symbol variation process (step S402) (“2” in this example).

The CPU 103 executes variable display (variation) of the normal symbol in the normal symbol variation process of step S402. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the normal symbol process timer has timed out, and if it has timed out, the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value (“3” in this example) indicating the normal symbol stop processing (step S403). ..

The CPU 103 stops the fluctuation of the normal symbol in the normal symbol display 20 in the normal symbol stop processing in step S403. Then, the normal symbol process timer is started by setting a value corresponding to the symbol confirmation time (stop symbol display time) of the normal symbol in the normal symbol process timer, and when the timer times out, the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a hit symbol. Check if it exists. If it is not a hit symbol (if it is a lost symbol), if it is a time-saving symbol, the process for starting the time-saving state is executed. If it is not a hit symbol (if it is a lost symbol), the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value indicating normal symbol normal processing (step S400) (“0” in this example). If the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a hit symbol, the normal symbol process timer is started by setting a value corresponding to the normal electric accessory opening time in the normal symbol process timer. Then, the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value (“4” in this example) indicating the normal electric accessory opening process (step S404).

The CPU 103 sets the variable winning ball device (ordinary electric accessory) 6B to the open state in the process of opening the ordinary electric accessory in step S404. When the normal symbol process timer times out, the variable winning ball device 6B is closed and the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value (“0” in this example) indicating the normal symbol normal processing (step S400).

FIG. 286-3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a normal symbol determination table in which a determination value regarding a display result of a normal symbol for determining a display result of a normal symbol is set in the normal symbol normal process of step S400. In this embodiment, the range that the random number for normal symbol determination can take is 1 to 250, but the normal symbol determination table is compared with the random number value for normal symbol determination and the determination value is set.

FIG. 286-3 (A) is a normal symbol determination table used in a low base state. As shown in FIG. 286-3 (A), in the low base state, when the normal symbol determination random number value is 1 or 2, it is determined to be a hit (normal figure hit). If it is determined that the ball is hit by a normal figure, the variable winning ball device 6A is opened for 5 seconds. When the random value for normal symbol determination is 3 to 230, it is determined to be a loss (normal symbol loss). If it is determined that the normal figure is lost, the variable winning ball device 6A will not be in the open state. In the case of hitting or losing a normal symbol, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 10 seconds, and the symbol confirmation time is 0.5 seconds.

Further, when the random value for normal symbol determination is 231 to 240, it is determined to be lost (time saving symbol A). When it is determined that the time saving symbol A is determined, the variable winning ball device 6A is not opened, but is controlled to a high base state (time saving state). In the case of the time-saving symbol A, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 10 seconds, and the symbol confirmation time is 10 seconds.

Further, when the random value for normal symbol determination is 241 to 250, it is determined to be lost (time saving symbol B). When it is determined that the time saving symbol B is determined, the variable winning ball device 6A is not opened, but is controlled to a high base state (time saving state). In the case of the time-saving symbol B, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 15 seconds, and the symbol confirmation time is 10 seconds.

In this way, the time-saving symbol is a part of the time-saving symbol, and a part of the determination value corresponding to the time-saving symbol is assigned to the time-saving symbol.

Further, in the normal symbol normal processing in step S400, after determining (determining) whether or not the symbol is a normal symbol, it is determined whether or not the symbol is a time-saving symbol. By doing so, when it is determined that the symbol is a normal figure and a time-saving symbol due to an error of a random number or the like, the normal figure hit can be prioritized. In the low base state, it is more advantageous for the player to have a time-saving symbol than to hit a normal symbol, so it is first determined whether or not to use a time-saving symbol, and then the normal symbol is used. It may be determined whether or not it is a figure hit.

In this embodiment, two types of time-saving symbols are provided, and the period of the high base state (end condition, number of time-savings) is different between the case of time-saving symbol A and the case of time-saving symbol B. As shown in FIG. 286-4 (A), when the display result of the normal symbol becomes "time reduction symbol A" in the low base state, the high base state continues until the special symbol change is executed 50 times (time reduction number of times). Will be 50 times). Further, when the display result of the normal symbol becomes "time reduction symbol B" in the low base state, the high base state continues until the special symbol change is executed 100 times (the number of time reductions becomes 100 times). Therefore, the time-saving symbol B is more advantageous to the player than the time-saving symbol A.

In this embodiment, whether or not the time-saving symbol is used and the type of the time-saving symbol are determined by the random number value for normal symbol determination when the normal symbol is lost, but different random numbers are used. It may be determined whether or not the time-saving symbol is used and the type of the time-saving symbol. Further, the types of time-saving symbols are not limited to two types, and there may be one type or three or more types. When there is only one type of time-saving symbol, it is easy to determine the display result by determining whether or not to use the time-saving symbol by the normal symbol determination random value.

As shown in FIG. 286-3 (A), the symbol confirmation time for hitting or losing a normal figure is 0.5 seconds, whereas the symbol confirmation time for a time-saving symbol is as long as 10 seconds. In this way, by lengthening the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol, it is possible to perform notification of shifting to a high base state (time reduction state) or right-handed at the symbol confirmation time. Therefore, it is possible to prevent or reduce the sudden transition to a high base state and the disadvantage of the player due to lack of preparation. The symbol confirmation time may be constant regardless of the display result.

The fluctuation time for the time-saving symbol B is 15 seconds, and the fluctuation time for other display results is 10 seconds. As a result, the display result can be announced by the fluctuation time of the normal symbol. The fluctuation time may be determined according to the display result, or the fluctuation time of all the display results may be the same (for example, 10 seconds).

FIG. 286-3 (B) is a normal symbol determination table used in a high base state. As shown in FIG. 286-3 (B), in the high base state, when the random value for normal symbol determination is 1 to 229, it is determined to be a hit (normal figure hit). If it is determined that the ball is hit by a normal figure, the variable winning ball device 6A is opened for 7.5 seconds. When the random value for normal symbol determination is 230, it is determined to be a loss (normal symbol loss). When the random value for normal symbol determination is 231 to 240, it is determined to be lost (time saving symbol A). When the random value for normal symbol determination is 241 to 250, it is determined to be lost (time saving symbol B). In the high base state, even if the time reduction symbols (time reduction symbols A and B) are set, as shown in FIG. 286-4 (B), the number of time reductions (end condition in the high base state) is not updated and is controlled. It is designed not to affect the high base condition inside. That is, in the high base state, the time-saving symbol is treated in the same way as the normal figure loss. If it is determined that the normal figure is lost, the variable winning ball device 6A will not be in the open state.

In the high base state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 1.5 seconds and the symbol confirmation time is 0.5 seconds regardless of the display result. As a result, the fluctuation of the normal symbol can be quickly repeated.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 286-3, the fluctuation time is determined according to the display result of the normal symbol, but the fluctuation time (variation pattern) of the normal symbol is based on the determined display result of the normal symbol. May be decided. In this case, if the display result is a normal map loss, the determination rate of the fluctuation time may be different depending on whether or not the symbol is a time-saving symbol. By doing so, it is possible to suggest whether or not the time-saving symbol is obtained by the fluctuation time of the normal symbol.

As shown in FIGS. 286-3 (A) and (B), the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol in the high base state is 0.5 seconds, whereas the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol in the low base state is 10. It's getting longer, seconds. In this way, by lengthening the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol in the low base state, it is possible to perform notification of shifting to the high base state (time reduction state) or hitting right at the symbol confirmation time. Therefore, it is possible to prevent or reduce the sudden transition to a high base state and the disadvantage of the player due to lack of preparation. In addition, in the high base state, even if the display result of the normal symbol becomes a time-saving symbol, such notification is not necessary. Therefore, by shortening the symbol confirmation time, the change of the next normal symbol should be executed promptly. Can be done. The symbol confirmation time may be constant regardless of the game state.

In this embodiment, even after the display result of the special symbol becomes a big hit and is controlled to the big hit gaming state, it is controlled to the time saving state. As shown in FIG. 286-5 (A), "big hit A" and "big hit B" are provided as big hit types when the display result of the first special figure is a big hit, and the big hit of "big hit A" is provided. After entering the game state, the high base state continues until the special symbol change is executed 50 times (the number of time reductions is 50 times), and after the big hit game state of "Big hit B" is reached, 100 times. The high base state continues until the special symbol change is executed (the number of time reductions is 100). It should be noted that the display result of the first special figure is basically a big hit when the base is low. Further, as shown in FIG. 286-5 (B), "big hit C" is provided as a big hit type when the display result of the second special figure is a big hit, and it is a big hit gaming state of "big hit C". After that, the high base state continues until the special symbol change is executed 100 times (the number of time reductions becomes 100 times). It should be noted that the display result of the second special figure becomes a big hit basically at the time of high base.

As described above, in this embodiment, the end condition (number of time reductions) of the high base state (time reduction state) is that the display result of the second special figure is a big hit than the case where the display result of the first special figure is a big hit. It is more advantageous when it becomes. As a result, the player's disappointment can be suppressed because the end condition of the high base state does not become disadvantageous to the player because the normal symbol becomes a time-saving symbol and shifts to the high base state. Also, at the time of high base, the end condition of the high base state (time saving state) in the case of a big hit is more advantageous than the low base state, so once the high base state is reached, it is easy to maintain the high base state for a long time. Can be done.

In the feature unit 065AK, it suffices to be controlled to at least a time saving state after being controlled to the big hit gaming state, and the number of rounds of "big hit A" to "big hit C" and the presence or absence of probability variation control are arbitrary. good. Further, the jackpot type and the number of time reductions shown in FIG. 286-5 are examples, and the number of jackpot types may be larger or smaller than that of FIG. 286-5, or the number of time reductions may be the same, for example.

FIG. 286-6 is a flowchart showing an example of the normal symbol stop processing in step S403 of FIG. 286-2. In the normal symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the flag for confirming the normal symbol is set (step 065AKS001). Ordinary symbols are displayed from the time when the display result is derived and displayed until the symbol confirmation time elapses. That is, the symbol confirmation time can be said to be the period from the derivation display of the display result of the normal symbol to the start of the next fluctuation of the normal symbol. If it is the symbol confirmation time, the flag for displaying the normal symbol confirmation is set.

If the flag for confirming the normal symbol is not set (step 065AKS001; No), the display result of the normal symbol (confirmed normal symbol) is derived and displayed on the normal symbol display 20 (step 065AKS002), and the fluctuation of the normal symbol is stopped. The setting for transmitting the designated normal-figure stop designation command to the effect control board 12 is executed (step 065AKS003). In step 065AKS003, the effect control board 12 is set to send a normal map stop designation command according to the display result so that the display result of the normal symbol can be specified. Then, the game state (high base state, low base state) and the symbol confirmation period (see FIG. 286-3) according to the normal map display result are set (step 065AKS004), and the normal map confirmation display flag is set to the on state. (Step 065AKS005). After that, the normal symbol stop processing is terminated.

If the normal symbol confirmation display flag is set (step 065AKS001; Yes), it is determined whether or not the symbol confirmation period of the normal symbol has elapsed (step 065AKS011). In the process of step 065AKS011, for example, the timer value corresponding to the symbol determination period set in step 065AKS004 is subtracted to determine whether or not the timer value becomes 0. If the symbol determination period has not elapsed (step 065AKS011; No), the normal symbol stop processing is terminated.

If the symbol determination period has elapsed (step 065AKS011; Yes), it is determined whether or not the display result is a normal figure (step 065AKS012). If the display result is a normal symbol (step 065AKS012; Yes), the normal symbol process timer is set to the normal electric accessory release time (step 065AKS013), and the value of the normal symbol process flag is set to the normal electric accessory release. The value indicating the intermediate processing (for example, "4") is updated (step 065AKS014), and the normal symbol stop processing is terminated.

When the display result is not a normal figure (step 065AKS012; No), it is determined whether or not the display result is a time-saving symbol (step 065AKS015). If the display result is a time saving symbol (step 065AKS015; Yes), it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set to determine whether or not it is in the high base state (step 065AKS016). If it is not in the high base state (step 065AKS016; No), for example, by checking the value of the special figure process flag, it is determined whether or not it is in the big hit game state (step 065AKS017). In this embodiment, in the case of the big hit gaming state, since the time saving state is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state, the transition to the time saving state based on the time saving symbol is not performed. There is. In addition, when the special symbol is changing and the display result of the change is a big hit, it is controlled to the time saving state after the end of the big hit gaming state based on the big hit, so that it is a time saving symbol. The transition to the based time saving state may not be performed.

If it is not in the jackpot game state (step 065AKS017; No), the time saving flag is set to the on state (step 065AKS018), and the time saving number counter is set according to the time saving symbol (see FIG. 286-4 (A)). (Step 065AKS019). As a result, it is possible to shift to a high base state (time saving state). Further, in response to the transition to the time saving state, a setting is made for transmitting a game state designation command for designating the time saving state to the effect control board 12 (step 065AKS020).

When the display result is not a time-saving symbol but a normal figure loss (step 065AKS015; No), a high base state (step 065AKS016; Yes), a big hit game state (step 065AKS017; Yes), or step 065AKS020. After executing the process of, the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value indicating the normal symbol normal process (for example, “0”) (step 065AKS021), and the process when the normal symbol is stopped is terminated.

FIG. 286-7 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process process (step S76) shown in FIG. 281 of the feature unit 065AK. In the effect control process process of the feature unit 065AK, in addition to the effect control process process of the basic description shown in FIG. The notification setting process (step 065AKS2) is executed.

FIG. 286-8 is a flowchart showing an example of the normal figure interlocking effect control process (step 065AKS1) executed in the effect control process process of FIG. 286-7. The normal symbol interlocking effect is an effect of suggesting and notifying the display result of the ordinary symbol in conjunction with the execution of the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol. The normal drawing interlocking production is included in the predetermined production. In the normal map interlocking effect control process, control is performed to execute the normal map interlocking effect.

In the normal map interlocking effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the normal map interlocking effect executing flag is set (step 065AKS031). The normal map interlocking effect executing flag is set when the execution of the normal map interlocking effect is started as a predetermined effect. If the normal figure interlocking effect executing flag is not set (step 065AKS031; No), it is confirmed whether or not the special figure interlocking effect executing flag is set (step 065AKS032). The special figure interlocking effect executing flag is set when the execution of the special figure interlocking effect is started. In this embodiment, it is possible to execute a special symbol interlocking effect that suggests and notifies the display result of the special symbol in conjunction with the execution of the change of the special symbol (decorative symbol) as a predetermined effect. The special figure interlocking effect will be described later. When the special figure interlocking effect executing flag is set (step 065AKS032; Yes), that is, when the special figure interlocking effect is being executed as the predetermined effect, the predetermined effect (normal figure interlocking effect) is newly executed. Therefore, the normal map interlocking effect control process is terminated.

If the special figure interlocking effect executing flag is not set in step 065AKS032 (step 065AKS032; No), it is confirmed whether or not the normal symbol variation start designation command has been received (step 065AKS051). If the normal symbol change start designation command has not been received (step 065AKS051; No), the normal symbol interlocking effect control process is terminated.

When the normal symbol fluctuation start designation command is set (step 065AKS051; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the sub time reduction flag is on, and thus whether or not the sub time reduction flag is in the high base state. (Step 065AKS052). In the case of a high base state (step 065AKS052; Yes), the frequency of fluctuation of the normal symbol is high and the display result is almost the same as the normal figure. To finish.

When it is not in the high base state (step 065AKS052; No), it is confirmed whether or not it is in the jackpot gaming state (step 065AKS053). Whether or not it is in the jackpot game state is confirmed by, for example, the value of the effect control process flag. In that case, when the value of the effect control process flag is 6 or more, it is assumed that the game is in a big hit game state. In the case of a big hit game state (step 065AKS053; Yes), since it does not interfere with the effect during the big hit and is controlled to the high base state after the end of the big hit game state, it is normal without executing the normal figure interlocking effect. Figure interlocking effect control processing ends.

When the game is not in the jackpot game state (step 065AKS053; No), it is determined whether or not the reach effect of the super reach is being executed (step 065AKS056). Here, it is the time when the fluctuation is executed by the fluctuation pattern accompanied by the super reach, and it may be determined by whether or not the elapsed time from the start of the fluctuation exceeds the start timing of the super reach. When the reach effect of the super reach is being executed (step 065AKS056; Yes), in order to pay attention to the reach effect of the super reach, the normal map interlocking effect control process is terminated without executing the normal map interlocking effect. Even if the normal map interlocking effect is not executed even during the execution of the effect other than the reach effect of the super reach (preliminary effect on the image display device 5, motion effect of the movable body 32, effect with high expectation of big hit, etc.). good.

When the reach effect of the super reach is not being executed (step 065AKS056; No), a predetermined effect pattern corresponding to whether or not the normal figure interlocking effect is executed and the effect mode when the normal figure interlocking effect is executed is determined (step 065AKS059). In step 065AKS059, as shown in FIG. 286-8 (B), whether or not to execute the normal symbol interlocking effect and a predetermined effect pattern are determined according to the display result of the ordinary symbol specified from the normal symbol change start designation command.

FIG. 286-8 (C) is a diagram showing a predetermined effect pattern. The predetermined effect is an effect that suggests / informs the display result of the normal symbol or the display result of the special symbol, and the predetermined effect pattern SP1 is a pattern that suggests that both the normal symbol and the special symbol are lost, and the predetermined effect pattern SP2. Is a pattern for notifying that it will be a "normal figure hit", and the predetermined effect pattern SP3 is a pattern for notifying that it will be a "time saving symbol". The predetermined effect patterns SP4 and SP5 are patterns suggesting that the special symbol becomes a big hit symbol, and the predetermined effect pattern SP5 is expected to be a big hit more than the predetermined effect pattern SP4. In this embodiment, the predetermined effects of all the predetermined effect patterns are started in the same manner, and then the result corresponding to the predetermined effect pattern is notified. Therefore, even if the predetermined effect pattern SP1 suggests that the effect is lost, it can be expected that the predetermined effect pattern will be another predetermined effect pattern at the start of the effect.

In addition, after suggesting the display result or the display result of the special symbol, a Gase pattern suggesting that the loss may occur may be provided. For example, a pattern that displays an image such as "Maybe it's time saving?" May be provided.

The predetermined effect patterns corresponding to the normal figure interlocking effect are SP1 to SP3, and in step 065AKS059, the presence / absence of execution of the normal figure interlocking effect and the predetermined effect patterns SP1 to SP3 at the determination ratio as shown in FIG. 286-8 (B). Which one to use is decided. As shown in FIG. 286-8 (B), when the display result (normal map display result) of the normal symbol is "per normal map", the ratio of being determined to the predetermined effect pattern SP2 is high, and the "normal map" is determined. In the case of "loss", the ratio determined by the predetermined effect pattern SP1 is high, and in the case of "time saving symbol A" or "time saving symbol B", especially in the case of "time saving symbol B" having a large number of time saving. Has a high ratio of being determined by the predetermined effect pattern SP3. As a result, it is possible to suggest and notify the normal map display result by the normal map interlocking effect (predetermined effect). The determination ratio shown in FIG. 286-8 (B) is an example, and any ratio may be used as long as the normal map display result can be suggested and notified by the normal map interlocking effect (predetermined effect). Further, as the predetermined effect pattern of the normal figure interlocking effect, a predetermined effect pattern other than the predetermined effect patterns SP1 to SP3 may be provided.

Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is determined to execute the normal figure interlocking effect (step 065AKS064). If it is not decided to execute the normal map interlocking effect (step 065AKS064; No), the normal map interlocking effect control process is terminated.

When it is decided to execute the normal map interlocking effect (step 065AKS064; Yes), the execution time of the normal map interlocking effect according to the decision result (predetermined effect pattern) in step 065AKS059 on the normal map interlocking effect timer. The value corresponding to is set (step 065AKS078). Then, the normal map interlocking effect (predetermined effect) is started based on the effect control data or the like corresponding to the predetermined effect pattern (step 065AKS079). Then, in response to the start of the normal map interlocking effect, the flag for executing the normal map interlocking effect is set (step 065AKS080), and the normal map interlocking effect control process is terminated.

If the normal map interlocking effect execution flag is set (step 065AKS031; No), the value of the normal map interlocking effect timer is subtracted by 1 (step 065AKS034), and the value of the normal map interlocking effect timer becomes 0. It is determined whether or not (step 065AKS035). If the value of the normal map interlocking effect timer is not 0 (step 065AKS035; No), the normal map interlocking effect control process is terminated.

When the value of the normal map interlocking effect timer becomes 0 (step 065AKS035; Yes), the normal map interlocking effect is terminated (step 065AKS036), and the normal map interlocking effect executing flag is reset to the off state (step 065AKS037). ), Ends the normal map interlocking effect control process.

FIG. 286-9 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of a special figure interlocking effect determination process for determining whether or not a special figure interlocking effect is executed as a predetermined effect and a predetermined effect pattern when the predetermined effect is executed. The special figure interlocking effect determination process is executed in the variable display start setting process (step S171) of the effect control process process shown in FIG. 286-7 before the variation of the decorative symbol is started. In the special figure interlocking effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the normal figure interlocking effect executing flag is set (step 065AKS091). When the normal map interlocking effect execution flag is set (step 065AKS091; Yes), that is, when the normal map interlocking effect is executed as the predetermined effect, a new predetermined effect (special figure interlocking effect) is executed. Therefore, the special figure interlocking effect determination process is terminated. When the normal figure interlocking effect execution flag is not set (step 065AKS091; No), it is confirmed whether or not it is in the high base state by determining whether or not the sub time reduction flag is on (step 065AKS092). ). In the high base state (step 065AKS092; Yes), the average special figure fluctuation time is short and the period for executing the special figure interlocking effect cannot be secured. Therefore, the special figure interlocking effect is not executed. The production determination process is completed.

Since the special figure interlocking effect determination process is a process executed at the start of the change of the decorative symbol, the special figure interlocking effect is not determined and executed in the case of the big hit game state or the small hit game state. If it is not in a high base state (step 065AKS092; No), it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation started this time is a fluctuation pattern that results in a super reach loss or a super reach jackpot (step 065AKS093). It should be noted that whether or not the fluctuation pattern is a super reach loss or a super reach jackpot can be specifically determined by checking the fluctuation pattern specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command. If it is not a fluctuation pattern of super reach loss or super reach jackpot (step 065AKS093; No), the special figure interlocking effect determination process is terminated. As described above, in this embodiment, the special figure interlocking effect is not executed when the fluctuation pattern is not accompanied by super reach, but the special figure interlocking is performed at a predetermined ratio even when the fluctuation pattern is not accompanied by super reach. The effect (for example, the predetermined effect of the predetermined effect pattern SP1) may be executed.

In the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach loss or super reach jackpot (step 065AKS093; Yes), a predetermined effect pattern corresponding to the presence / absence of execution of the special figure interlocking effect and the effect mode when the special figure interlocking effect is executed is determined (step 065AKS094). In step 065AKS094, as shown in FIG. 286-9 (B), whether or not to execute the special symbol interlocking effect and a predetermined effect pattern are determined according to the display result of the special symbol (decorative symbol).

The predetermined effect patterns corresponding to the special figure interlocking effect are SP1, SP4, and SP5. In step 065AKS094, the presence / absence of execution of the special figure interlocking effect and the predetermined effect pattern SP1 are performed at a determination ratio as shown in FIG. 286-9 (B). , SP4, SP5 is determined. As shown in FIG. 286-9 (B), when the special figure display result is "big hit", the ratio determined by the predetermined effect pattern SP5 is high, and when the special figure display result is "missing". , The ratio determined by the predetermined effect pattern SP4 is high. As a result, the jackpot expectation (reliability) is higher in the predetermined effect pattern SP5 than in the predetermined effect pattern SP4. Since the predetermined effect patterns SP4 and SP5 are determined when the fluctuation pattern is accompanied by super reach, it is possible to notify that the predetermined effect pattern will be super reach when the special figure interlocking effect of these predetermined effect patterns is executed. Further, at the determination ratio shown in FIG. 286-9, even when the predetermined effect pattern SP1 is used, a big hit may occur, so that an unexpected effect can be executed. The determination ratio shown in FIG. 286-9 (B) is an example, and any ratio may be used as long as the special figure display result can be suggested and notified by the special figure interlocking effect (predetermined effect). Further, as the predetermined effect pattern of the special figure interlocking effect, a predetermined effect pattern other than the predetermined effect patterns SP1, SP4, and SP5 may be provided.

After that, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is determined not to execute the special figure interlocking effect (step 065AKS095). If it is decided not to execute the special figure interlocking effect (step 065AKS095; Yes), the special figure interlocking effect determination process is terminated. When it is decided to execute the special figure interlocking effect (step 065AKS095; No), the setting for executing the special figure interlocking effect corresponding to the determined predetermined effect pattern is made (step 065AKS096). In step 065AKS096, for example, effect control data corresponding to a predetermined effect pattern is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 as usage data. Then, the special figure interlocking effect executing flag is set to the ON state (step 065AKS097), and the special figure interlocking effect determination process is terminated.

FIG. 286-10 is a flowchart showing an example of the time saving notification setting process (step 065AKS2) executed in the effect control process process of FIG. 286-7. The time saving notification setting process is a process for notifying the transition to the time saving state when the display result of the normal symbol is controlled to the high base state (time saving state) corresponding to the time saving symbol. ..

In the time saving notification setting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a normal figure stop designation command for designating that the time saving symbol has stopped has been received (step 065AKS101). If the normal map stop designation command for designating that the time saving symbol has stopped has not been received (step 065AKS101; No), the time saving notification setting process is terminated.

If a normal map stop specification command for specifying that the time saving symbol has stopped is received (step 065AKS101; Yes), it is determined whether the sub time saving flag is on or not, and whether the sub time saving flag is in the high base state. Confirm whether or not (step 065AKS102). In the case of the high base state (step 065AKS102; Yes), the control based on the time saving symbol is not executed, so the time saving notification setting process is terminated.

If it is not in the high base state (step 065AKS102; No), the sub time reduction flag is set to the on state (step 065AKS103). The sub time saving flag is also set to the on state when the big hit game state ends and is controlled to the time saving state.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the game is in the big hit game state (step 065AKS104). In the case of the big hit game state (step 065AKS104; Yes), since the time reduction state is controlled after the big hit game state, the time reduction notification setting process is terminated without notifying that the time reduction state has been entered.

When the game is not in the jackpot game state (step 065AKS104; No), a right-handed display instructing the right-handed to strike at a predetermined position of the image display device 5 is displayed (step 065AKS105).

Then, it is determined whether or not the reach effect of the super reach is being executed (step 065AKS106). When the reach effect of the super reach is not being executed (step 065AKS106; No), the setting for starting the notification of the transition to the time saving state (time saving transition notification) and the notification of right-handed hitting (right-handed notification). (Step 065AKS107).

Further, when the reach effect of the super reach is being executed (step 065AKS106; Yes), a setting for starting the right-handed notification is made at the start of the next fluctuation (step 065AKS108). As described above, in this embodiment, when the reach effect of the super reach is being executed, the time reduction shift notification and the right-handed notification are not executed in order to pay attention to the reach effect of the super reach, and the right-handed one is hit in the next fluctuation. It is designed to execute notification. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the reach production of Super Reach from being hindered. It should be noted that the time saving shift notification and the right-handed notification are not executed even during the execution of the effects other than the reach effect of the super reach (the advance notice effect on the image display device 5, the operation effect of the movable body 32, the effect with high expectation of big hit, etc.). You may do it. Further, although the shift to the time saving state may have already been performed at the start of the next fluctuation, the time saving shift notification may be executed at the next fluctuation.

Although the time reduction notification and the right-handed notification are not executed, the right-handed display is displayed, so that it is possible to indicate that the time reduction state has been reached at the minimum, which is disadvantageous because the player cannot grasp the game state. Can be reduced.

After executing the process of step 065AKS107 or step 065AKS108, the time saving notification setting process is terminated.

FIG. 286-11 is a timing chart showing the effect content at the time of time reduction transition. In FIG. 286-11, ON of "special symbol fluctuation" indicates that the special symbol is changing, and OFF indicates that the special symbol is stopped. ON of "normal symbol fluctuation" indicates that the normal symbol is changing, and OFF indicates that the normal symbol is stopped. ON of the "right-handed image" indicates that the right-handed image is displayed on the image display device 5, and OFF indicates that the right-handed image is not displayed.

FIG. 286-11 (A) is a timing chart when the reach effect of the super reach is not executed when the time saving symbol is stopped. As shown in FIG. 286-11 (A), when the time saving symbol is stopped as a display result of the normal symbol during the fluctuation of the special symbol, the time saving transition notification and the right-handed notification are executed. In addition, a right-handed image is displayed at the timing when the time-saving symbol stops. Then, after the symbol determination time of the time-saving symbol has elapsed, the time-saving control is started at the next start of fluctuation of the normal symbol. In this way, by executing the time reduction shift notification and the right-handed notification at the symbol confirmation time of the time reduction symbol before the time reduction control is actually started, even when the time reduction state is entered during the change of the special symbol, the time reduction is performed. It is possible to appropriately notify that the state is changed and that the game is played by right-handed hitting.

FIG. 286-11 (B) is a timing chart when the reach effect of the super reach is not executed when the time saving symbol is stopped. As shown in FIG. 286-11 (B), when the super reach occurs during the fluctuation of the special symbol and the time saving symbol stops as a result of displaying the normal symbol during the reach production of the super reach, the time saving symbol stops at the timing of stopping. The right-handed image is displayed, but the time saving shift notification and the right-handed notification are not executed. Then, at the start of the next fluctuation after the end of the fluctuation accompanied by super reach, the right-handed notification is executed. If the next fluctuation start timing is after the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol, the time is already shortened. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the time-saving symbol is stopped during the reach production of the super reach, the next time. The time saving notification is not performed at the start of the fluctuation of. On the other hand, the time saving notification may be executed at the start of the next fluctuation. For example, as shown in FIG. 286-11 (B), when the symbol determination time of the time-saving symbol elapses after the start of the next fluctuation, the time-saving notification may be executed at the start of the next fluctuation.

If the end timing of the change of the special symbol being executed when the time-saving symbol is stopped is before the lapse of the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol, which is the timing when the time-saving control is actually started, this special symbol is used. Since it is not necessary to rush to execute the time saving shift notification or right-handed notification during the fluctuation of the time saving symbol, the time saving transition notification or right-handed notification is sent during the period after the start of the next special symbol change and before the symbol confirmation time of the time-saving symbol has elapsed. You may want to do it.

Subsequently, an example of the production operation of the feature unit 065AK will be described. FIGS. 286-12 to 286-14 show an example of a predetermined effect of the feature unit 065AK. FIG. 286-12 (A) is a downward arrow indicating that the decorative symbol is changed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. There is. At the upper left of the image display device 5, a variation of a small symbol that is always visible to the player is also executed. Further, a predetermined effect area 65AK11 is provided in the lower center portion of the image display device 5. In this embodiment, the predetermined effect (normal map interlocking effect, special figure interlocking effect) is executed in the predetermined effect area 65AK11. The predetermined effect area 65AK11 may be constantly displayed on the image display device 5, or may be displayed when the predetermined effect is executed. For example, the predetermined effect area 65AK11 may be erased in a high base state or a big hit game state in which the predetermined effect is not executed.

When it is decided to execute the predetermined effect, as shown in FIG. 286-12 (B), the effect image is scrolled and displayed in the predetermined effect area 65AK11, and the predetermined effect is started. In FIG. 286-12 (B), it is shown that the effect image is scrolled by the downward arrow. After that, the effect result corresponding to the predetermined effect pattern is notified.

In the case of the predetermined effect pattern SP1, as shown in FIG. 286-12 (C), the effect image of "x" is displayed in the predetermined effect area 65AK11 and the process is stopped. As a result, it is notified that the predetermined effect fails and the degree of expectation that the display result of the normal symbol or the special symbol is a hit is low.

In the case of the predetermined effect pattern SP2, as shown in FIG. 286-12 (D), the effect image of “◯” is displayed in the predetermined effect area 65AK11 and the process is stopped. As a result, it is notified that the predetermined effect is successful and that the normal symbol is a hit.

Is displayed in the central portion of the image display device 5 with the start of fluctuation of the next decorative symbol. Is executed. At this time, the number of time reductions is displayed in the upper left portion of the image display device 5. Here, "49 times" is displayed corresponding to the time saving symbol A. Here, the number of time reductions is subtracted from 50 times to 49 times due to the transition to the time reduction state during the previous fluctuation and the digestion of one fluctuation.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the display result of the normal symbol becomes the time-saving symbol during the reach production of the super reach, the time-saving transition notification and the right-handed notification are not executed, and the reach production of the super reach is prioritized. Is executed. When a big hit is obtained as a result of the super reach, the time is controlled after the big hit gaming state corresponding to the big hit. Therefore, even if the time saving transition notification is executed during the reach production of the super reach, the notification may be wasted or the production may be annoying, so that the reach production of the super reach is prioritized. Then, when the display result is lost, the right-handed notification is executed at the time of the next fluctuation, so that it is possible to preferably notify that the time has been shortened or that the player has right-handed. If the display result of the normal symbol becomes a time-saving symbol during the reach production of the super reach and the display result of the fluctuation accompanying the super reach becomes a big hit, the display result of the normal symbol becomes the time-saving symbol. The corresponding notification (time saving transition notification, right-handed notification) may not be executed, or the notification corresponding to the fact that the display result of the normal symbol becomes the time saving symbol due to the first fluctuation after the end of the big hit game state is notified. You may want to do it.

(Modification example of feature part 065AK)
This feature portion is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible, and further features may be added. The processing contents and determination ratios of the flowcharts and the determination methods of various effects shown in the above-mentioned examples and modifications are merely examples, and the same effects as those of the above-mentioned examples can be obtained. Anything may be used as long as it can be carried out suitably. Further, the effect example shown in the above embodiment is an example, and can be appropriately changed as long as the same effect can be achieved. Further, not all of the configurations described in the above embodiment are essential configurations, and some of them may be missing. Moreover, you may combine this feature part and other feature part as appropriate.

In the case of pre-reading the display result of the special symbol and executing the pre-reading notice effect, if the display result of the normal symbol is a time-saving symbol, the execution of the pre-reading notice effect may be restricted. For example, when the display result of the normal symbol is a time-saving symbol, the pre-reading notice effect may not be executed until the time-saving symbol is stopped and the time-saving state is entered. In addition, if the display result of the normal symbol before the start of fluctuation is pre-read and there is pending data of the normal symbol that becomes the time-saving symbol, the pre-reading notice effect for notifying the display result of the special symbol may be restricted. good. By doing so, the game state is changed after the pre-reading notice effect is executed, so that the variation pattern changes between the pre-reading time and the actual variation execution time, which is consistent with the effect content of the pre-reading notice effect. It can be prevented from disappearing.

As signals to be externally output to the hall computer or data display, in addition to the big hit signal (output during the big hit) and the special prize medium signal (output during the big hit and during the time reduction), the time reduction medium signal (output only during the time reduction) is provided. May be good.

In the above embodiment, when the display result of the normal symbol is a time-saving symbol in the big hit game state, the control to the time-saving state is not performed, but when the big hit is made in the low base state, the big hit is obtained. In the corresponding big hit game state, the time saving state may be controlled based on the time saving symbol. In this case, the order is as follows: start of the big hit game state → start of the time reduction control based on the time saving symbol → end of the big hit game state, and the base changes before and after the big hit game state. Therefore, the time reduction number based on the control of the big hit gaming state may be set at the start of the fluctuation after the end of the big hit gaming state. For example, if the number of time reductions in the case of a big hit in the low base state is 50 or 100 times, and the number of time reductions in the case of a big hit in the high base state is 100 times, the number of time reductions during the big hit game state When the symbol is stopped, the number of time reductions after the end of the big hit game state is set to 100 times. By setting the number of time reductions at the start of fluctuation after the end of the big hit game state, it is possible to suitably shift to the state even if the game state changes during the big hit. In addition, when the big hit game state is reached, the number of time reductions may be constant regardless of the game state, or the number of time reductions may be determined at a constant rate.

In the above embodiment, the predetermined effect (normal pattern interlocking effect, special symbol interlocking effect) that suggests / informs the display result of the normal symbol or the display result of the special symbol is the effect result by scrolling the effect image in the predetermined effect area 65AK11. (FIGS. 286-12 to 286-14), any effect may be used as long as it can suggest and notify the display result of the normal symbol or the display result of the special symbol. Further, the predetermined effect may be at least an effect of suggesting / notifying whether or not the normal symbol becomes a time-saving symbol or the display result of the special symbol.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the display result of the normal symbol becomes the time saving symbol in the high base state, the time reduction number is not updated, but the display result of the normal symbol becomes the time saving symbol in the high base state. If this happens, the number of time reductions may be updated or added. In addition, the determination ratio of the number of time reductions and the number of time reductions differs depending on whether the display result of the normal symbol is the time reduction symbol in the low base state or the display result of the normal symbol is the time reduction symbol in the high base state. You may do it.

In the above embodiment, the execution of the time saving transition notification and the right-handed notification is restricted in a predetermined case such as during the reach production of the super reach, but the time saving symbol is displayed regardless of the production content during the execution. When shifting to the time saving state according to the situation, the time saving transition notification or the right-handed notification may be executed. For example, when the time saving shift notification or the right-handed notification is executed by a display means different from that of the image display device 5, the time saving transition notification or the right-handed notification may be executed regardless of the effect content of the image display device 5. good.

It is easier to recognize the current gaming state.

In the feature unit 079SG, the hold display in the first hold storage display area 079SG005D and the second hold storage display area 079SG005U and the message in the telop display area 079SG005T are rotated and moved at a common constant speed (V3). Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold display in the first hold storage display area 079SG005D and the second hold storage display area 079SG005U and the message in the telop display area 079SG005T have different constant speeds. It may be rotatable and movable with.

As shown in FIG. 287-2 (D), the fourth symbol 079SG005J has an upper symbol 079SG005Ja and a lower symbol 079SG005Jb, and the upper symbol 079SG005Ja and the lower symbol 079SG005Jb blink alternately at regular intervals. Indicates that a special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. Further, when the variable display result is off, both the upper symbol 079SG005Ja and the lower symbol 079SG005Jb are turned off (turned off) at the end timing of the variable display, while the variable display result is a big hit or a miss. In that case, both are turned on (turned on) at the end timing of the variable display.

The display of the first special figure reserved storage number and the display of the second special figure reserved storage number in the third display area 079SG005Sb are the timing when a new reserved storage occurs and the timing when a new variable display is started. Only the number changes. That is, the display of the first special figure reserved storage number and the display of the second special figure reserved storage number in the third display area 079SG005Sb are the fourth symbol 079SG005J, the first reserved storage display area 079SG005D, and the second reserved storage display area 079SG005U. , Unlike the telop display area 079SG005T, the display mode does not change except for the start timing of the variable display.

Next, the display control unit 123 in the feature unit 079SG will be described. The CGROM in the display control unit 123 stores a plurality of types of image data for displaying an image on the image display device 5. The display control unit 123 can display a predetermined image on the image display device 5 based on the image data of 1 stored in the CGROM based on the instruction from the effect control CPU 120, and can display a plurality of types of image data. By arranging and displaying an image on the image display device 5, it is possible to display a predetermined effect screen. When the predetermined image is not displayed on the image display device 5, the image of the predetermined image is arranged by arranging another image data with a transparency of 0% on the front side of the image data of the predetermined image depending on the situation. The predetermined image is not displayed on the effect screen by controlling the image based on the data so as not to be displayed on the effect screen and by displaying the image on the image display device 5 that has created the display data in which the image data of the predetermined image is not arranged. It may be controlled as such.

That is, in the image display device 5, the image based on the image data 1 is displayed as the uppermost image, the image based on the image data 2 is displayed as a lower layer image than the image based on the image data 1, and is based on the image data 3. The image is displayed as an image of a lower layer (bottom layer) than the image based on the image data 1 and the image based on the image data 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 287-3 (D), in the image display device 5, the image based on the image data 2 is displayed with priority over the image based on the image data 3, and the image based on the image data 1 is displayed. The image based on the image data 2 and the image based on the image data 3 are displayed with priority.

As shown in FIG. 287-3 (D), when the image based on the image data 1, the image based on the image data 2, and the image based on the image data 3 are simultaneously displayed on the image display device 5, the image data 3 Since the image based on the image is displayed as the image of the lowest layer, at least a part of the image based on the image data 3 becomes difficult to see or invisible due to the image based on the first data or the image based on the image data 2. There is.

Although the details will be described later in this feature unit 079SG, the image based on the image data 1 and the image data 2 is displayed on the image display device 5 as a moving image whose progress speed is always constant, while on the image data 3. Based on the image, the image display device 5 is displayed as a moving image or a still image having a plurality of progress speeds based on the data stored in the CGROM in advance.

In particular, in this feature unit 079SG, although details will be described later, it is possible to display a moving image of the reach effect at a normal progress speed V1 and a progress speed V2 (slow motion) slower than the V1 during the reach effect of the super reach. It has become. This is because the data for the effect video displayed at the progress speed V1 and the data for the effect video displayed at the progress speed V2 are stored in advance in the CGROM, but the present invention is limited to this. Only the data for the production video to be displayed at the progress speed V1 is stored in advance in the CGROM, and a part of the production video for the reach production is set to the progress speed V2 by performing a predetermined process on the data. May be displayable.

As described above, in the feature unit 079SG, the progress speed of the reach effect recognized by the player is set to V1 by setting the image progress speed, which is the speed at which the effect video changes, to the first speed, which is the non-slow motion period, and the image. By setting the traveling speed to V2, which is slower than V1, the slow motion period is set so that the progressing speed of the reach effect recognized by the player is the slow second speed. That is, the slow motion video, which is a production video in which the progress speed of the production in the feature unit 079SG is slow, is a video progress compared to the non-slow motion video whose video progress speed is V1 displayed in front of the slow motion video. Anything with a slow speed will do.

The feature unit 079SG exemplifies a form in which a slow motion period is provided in all super reach effects (see FIGS. 287-18 to 287-25), but the present invention is limited thereto. Instead, for example, as a super reach effect, the content of the effect video displayed on the image display device 5 is the same as the content of the super reach effect shown in FIGS. 287-18 to 287-25, but the video progress speed. Does not change from V1 to V2, that is, by executing a super reach effect that does not result in a slow motion period, the slow motion period is achieved in the super reach effect shown in FIGS. 287-18 to 287-25. May be easily recognized by the player.

That is, in the case of executing the super reach effect in which the content of the effect movie is the same but the video progress speed does not change to V2, the effect movie is a second speed slower than the first speed in the present invention. Is that, by displaying the production video having the same content at the video progress speed V2, which is slower than the video progress speed V1 in the non-slow motion super reach production, over a longer period than the non-slow motion super reach production. The displayed production video corresponds to this.

As described above, the feature unit 079SG configures a slow motion effect in which the reach effect felt by the player is slow by slowing the image advance speed of the effect moving image, and the sound from the speakers 8L and 8R. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. By conversely increasing the reproduction speed of the sound output from the speaker and the light emission cycle of the game effect lamp 9, a pseudo slow motion may be configured in which the player feels that the progress speed of the reach effect has slowed down.

That is, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 079SG includes a plurality of effect output means including display means capable of displaying the effect moving image, and the progress speed of the effect by at least one of these effect output means. Is different between the slow motion period and the non-slow motion period, so that the player can recognize that the effect being executed is slow motion in the slow motion period.

It should be noted that the feature unit 079SG exemplifies a mode in which the display of the effect video of the reach effect is always executed at the progress speed V2 during the slow motion period, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the slow motion is not limited to this. The period may be such that the progress speed of the display of the effect moving image of the reach effect can be changed (for example, the progress speed gradually decreases with the passage of time, or the progress speed increases or decreases within a predetermined range).

FIG. 287-4 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 079SG. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is "0". The command form shown in FIG. 287-4 (A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 287-4 (A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. .. The command 8002H is a second variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a symbol (also referred to as an effect symbol). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the content of instruction by the effect control command. In the fluctuation pattern designation command, different EXT data are set according to the fluctuation pattern to be designated and the like.

The command 8CXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 287-4 (B), it is determined whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing", "big hit", or "small hit". Different EXT data are set according to the result (pre-determined result) and the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is to be used when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 287-4 (B), the command 8C00H is the first variable display result designation command indicating a predetermined result indicating that the variable display result is “missing”. .. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit B" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit C" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot". The command 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying a preliminary determination result that the variable display result is a "small hit".

The command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command for designating the change stop (confirmation) of the decorative symbol in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a gaming state designation command for designating the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, for example, different EXT data are set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, the command 9500H is used as the first game state specification command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time reduction control nor the probability change control is performed, and the command 9501H is executed by the time reduction control. On the other hand, it is a second game state specification command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, time saving state) in which probability change control is not performed. Further, the command 9502H is used as the third game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high probability low base state, time reduction no probability change state) in which the time reduction control is performed while the probability change control is performed, and the command 9503H is the time reduction control and probability change. This is the 4th game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high accuracy high base state, time reduction probability change state) in which control is performed together.

The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") for designating the display of an effect image indicating the start of a big hit game or a small hit game. The command A1XXH is a notification command during the opening of the big winning opening that notifies that the big winning opening is in the open state in the big hit game state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after opening the big winning opening that notifies that it is a period during which the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big hit game state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for designating the display of the effect image at the end of the big hit game or the small hit.

In the hit start specification command and the hit end specification command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the big hit type determination result, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result specification command. .. Alternatively, in the hit start designation command or the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result designation command. .. In the big winning opening opening notification command and the big winning opening opening notification command, for example, different EXT data are set according to the number of round executions (for example, "1" to "10") in the big hit state described later. ..

The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) is generated. This is a first start opening winning designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) is generated. , The second start opening winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

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

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

The commands shown in FIG. 287-4 (A) are examples, and may not have some of these commands, or different commands may be used in place of these commands. You may add a command different from the command in. For example, a prize ball number notification command for making it possible to specify the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of a game ball at each winning opening, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41. A passage notification command, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times that the probability change control or the time reduction control is executed, or the like may be provided.

FIG. 287-5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 287-5, in the feature unit 079SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern , Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for determining the display result of the normal map is controlled so as to be countable. In addition, random values other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also referred to as game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data indicating a part or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 079SG154 shown in FIG. 287-10, and updates various numerical data by software to update the random number value. Numerical data indicating a part of MR1 to MR4 may be counted.

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

The random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern is a random value used to determine the fluctuation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to one of a plurality of types prepared in advance, and is, for example, "1" to "1" to ". It takes a value in the range of 997.

The random number value MR4 for determining the normal figure display result is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal figure game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per normal figure" or "out of normal figure". It is a random value to be obtained, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "13", for example.

FIG. 287-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 079SG uses a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The individual special figure display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table 1 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. It is a referenced table.

In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 079SG, depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the special figure display result judgment table 1, the table data indicating the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment determines whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the big hit gaming state. It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 079SG, when the gaming state is the probability change state (high probability state), more judgment values are obtained than when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). It is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the probabilistic state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Then, the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state is higher than the probability determined (about 1/300 in the main feature unit 079SG) (about 1 in the main feature unit 079SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table 1, it is determined that when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as compared with the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that the probability of the game is high.

Further, FIG. 287-6 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 2 stored in the ROM 101. The special figure display result determination table 2 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite special symbol that becomes It is a table referenced for.

In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the feature unit 079SG, regardless of whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit".

In the special figure display result determination table 2, whether or not the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is controlled to the small hit gaming state with the special figure display result as "small hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result judgment table 2 in the feature unit 079SG, the number of judgment values assigned to the "small hit" is different between the case of the special figure game of the first special figure and the case of the second special figure. There is. Specifically, in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure, the judgment value is assigned to "small hit", but in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, it is assigned to "small hit". Judgment value is not assigned. Therefore, as will be described later, the variable display of the second special figure is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special figure, and the second start winning is formed by the variable winning ball device 6B by executing the time saving control. In the high base state where a prize is generated in the mouth and a lot of variable display of the second special figure is executed, "small hit" is almost not generated, and the second start formed by the variable prize ball device 6B. In a high base state where a game ball can easily enter the winning opening, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a small hit in which a large number of game balls cannot be obtained and to prevent the game interest from deteriorating.

FIG. 287-7 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table in the feature unit 079SG has a plurality of jackpot types based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type when it is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big hit". It is a table referenced to determine the crab. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first). 2 The numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot A", depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots such as "probability variation jackpot B" and "probability variation jackpot C".

Here, the jackpot type in the feature unit 079SG will be described with reference to FIG. 287-7 (B). In the feature unit 079SG, the jackpot type includes high accuracy control and time saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming state. "Probability change big hit A", "Probability change big hit B", "Probability change big hit C" that are executed and shift to the high accuracy high base state, and only the time saving control is executed after the end of the big hit game state to the low accuracy high base state. A "non-probability change jackpot" to be transferred is set.

The big hit game state by the "probability change big hit A" is a big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player. The big hit game state by the "probability change big hit B" is a big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed five times (so-called 5 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player. The big hit game state by the "probability change big hit C" is a big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds) to change to the first state which is advantageous for the player. Further, the jackpot gaming state due to the "non-probability variable jackpot" is a jackpot in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds) in a round that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 into a first state that is advantageous to the player. Therefore, "Probability change jackpot A" is called 10 rounds (10R) probability variation jackpot, "Probability variation jackpot B" is called 5 rounds (5R) probability variation jackpot, and "Probability variation jackpot C" is called 2 rounds (2R) probability variation jackpot. It may be called, and the "non-probable variable jackpot" may be referred to as a two-round (2R) non-probable variable jackpot.

Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit game state in the feature unit 079SG changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player twice, and the opening time is the same as the probability variation big hit C. It is an open period (0.1 seconds in this feature unit 079SG). After the small hit game is completed, the game state immediately before the small hit game is inherited.

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

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "non-probability change big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature unit 079SG), or the special figure of the predetermined number of times. It ends when the game is in a big hit game state before the game is executed.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 287-7 (A), "probability variation jackpot A" and "probability variation jackpot A" are set according to whether the variablely displayed special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. The assignment of judgment values for the jackpot types of "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C", and "non-probability variation jackpot" is different. That is, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the determination value in the predetermined range (value in the range of "81" to "100") is "probability change jackpot B" or "probability change" with a small number of rounds. While assigned to the jackpot type of "big hit C", if the special figure that is variably displayed is the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. In the case of Therefore, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" with a small number of rounds can be different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined to control the jackpot type to the jackpot state with a small number of rounds as "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Due to the high opening control, in the game state where the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the frequent occurrence of the big hit state where the number of prize balls obtained is small is avoided and the game interest is reduced. It is designed to prevent this.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 287-7 (A), the allocation of the determination value for the jackpot type of "non-probability variation" is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Since it is the same regardless of whether it is present or not, the probability of becoming a non-probability jackpot and the probability of becoming a probabilistic jackpot are the same regardless of whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is said that.

Therefore, as described above, the assignment of the determination values for the "probability change jackpot B" and the "probability variation jackpot C" differs depending on whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Therefore, the assignment of the judgment value to the "probability change jackpot A" also differs depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and for the "probability change jackpot A" having a large number of rounds, the second It is set so that the case of the special figure game of the special figure is easier to determine than the case of the special figure game of the first special figure.

Even in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special figure game of the first special figure is the big hit of "probability change big hit B" or "probability change big hit C". It may be assigned to a type. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value smaller than that in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure is in the big hit type of "probability change big hit B" or "probability change big hit C". May be assigned. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to the common table data regardless of whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

FIG. 287-8 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 079SG. In this feature unit 079SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol corresponds to the case of "non-reach" and the case of "reach", and is variable. A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to cases where the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the missed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “missing”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach is executed. Although the feature unit 079SG provides only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns such as normal reach α, normal reach β, and the like are provided. It may be provided. Further, even in the super reach fluctuation pattern, a plurality of super reach fluctuation patterns may be provided, such as super reach α, super reach β, and so on.

The fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 079SG also includes a fluctuation pattern (PC1-1) of a special hit corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a “small hit”.

As shown in FIG. 287-8, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 079SG is set shorter than that of the super reach variation pattern.

Further, in the present feature unit 079SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are first determined as the type of fluctuation pattern, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, and the like. Then, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, the determination is made using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided for determining these variation pattern types. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first from the random value of the above, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type.

FIG. 287-9 is an explanatory diagram of a method for determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 079SG. In the feature unit 079SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved storages.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 287-9, when the variable display result is a non-probability variable jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern is used using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α1 jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach α3 jackpot fluctuation pattern) and PB1-4 (super reach β1 jackpot fluctuation pattern) And PB1-5 (variation pattern of super reach β3 jackpot). When the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot) using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. It is determined from the fluctuation pattern) and PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach jackpot).

As shown in FIG. 287-9, the number of assigned determination values for PB1-2 to PB1-5 is different between the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table. Specifically, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, 45 determination values are assigned to PB1-2, 150 determination values are assigned to PB1-3, 300 determination values are assigned to PB1-4, and 500 determination values are assigned to PB1-5. In the jackpot variation pattern determination table B, 30 determination values are assigned to PB1-2, 135 determination values are assigned to PB1-3, 315 determination values are assigned to PB1-4, and 515 determination values are assigned to PB1-5. That is, in this feature unit 079SG, when the variable display result is a probabilistic jackpot, PB1-3 and PB1-4, which are the fluctuation patterns of the super reach β system, are at a higher rate than when the variable display result is a non-probable variable jackpot. Since it is determined to be, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is a small hit, a special hit variation pattern determination table is selected, and the variation pattern is determined to be PC1-1 (special hit variation pattern) using the special hit variation pattern determination table. do.

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is 2 or less, the deviation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern determination table A is selected. Using the deviation pattern determination table A, the variation patterns are PA1-1 (non-reach outlier variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach outlier variation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α2 outlier variation pattern), and PA2. It is determined from -3 (variation pattern of super reach α3 deviation), PA2-4 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation), and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β3 deviation).

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is 3, the deviation pattern determination table B for loss is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α2 loss), and PA2. It is determined from -3 (variation pattern of super reach α3 deviation), PA2-4 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation), and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β3 deviation).

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages of the variation special figure is 4, the deviation pattern determination table C for loss is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table C, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-3 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α2 loss), and PA2. It is determined from -3 (variation pattern of super reach α3 deviation), PA2-4 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation), and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β3 deviation).

If the variable display result is "off" in the time saving state (high base state), the out-of-order variation pattern determination table D is selected, and the out-of-order variation pattern determination table D is used to set the variation pattern to PA1-4. (Non-reach out-of-time shortening fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-time fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α2 out-of-order fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach α3 out-of-range fluctuation pattern), and PA2 It is determined from -4 (variation pattern of super reach β2 deviation) and PA2-5 (variation pattern of super reach β3 deviation).

That is, when the variable display result is "off" in the feature unit 079SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of reserved storages of the variable special figure is 3 or 4, or the time is shortened. Since the variable display time is shorter than the normal non-reach deviation pattern (PA1-1), the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening variation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4). It is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit while preventing the game from being delayed.

As shown in FIG. 287-8, the reach effect of the super reach α1 (the reach effect executed by the variable display of the variation pattern PB1-2) is variable after the first half of the first reach effect described later is executed. The reach effect in which the display result is a big hit, and the reach effect of the super reach α2 (the reach effect executed by the variable display of the variable pattern PA2-2) executes the first half part and the second half part of the first reach effect described later. The reach effect of the super reach α3 (the reach effect executed by the variable display in the variable pattern PA2-3 or PB1-3) is the first reach effect described later. This is a reach effect in which the variable display result is a big hit or a miss by executing the second reach effect described later after executing the first half portion and the second half part of the effect.

As for the variable display of these fluctuation patterns PA2-2, PA2-3, PB1-2, and PB1-3, as shown in FIGS. 287-8 and 287-9, the longer the special figure variable display time is, the more variable the display is. The rate at which the result is a big hit (big hit expectation) is set to be high. That is, for the variable display of these fluctuation patterns PA2-2, PA2-3, PB1-2, and PB1-3, the ratio of the variable display result being a big hit is executed by the first reach effect. The variable display result is set higher than the ratio that becomes a big hit.

Further, the reach effect of super reach β1 (reach effect executed by the variable display of the variable pattern PB1-4) is a reach effect in which the variable display result becomes a big hit after executing the first half of the third reach effect described later. Yes, in the reach effect of Super Reach β2 (the reach effect executed by the variable display of the variable pattern PA2-4), the variable display result is out of order after executing the first half part and the second half part of the third reach effect described later. The reach effect of the super reach β3 (the reach effect executed by the variable display in the variable pattern PA2-5 or PB1-5) is the first half part and the second half part of the third reach effect described later. After that, the fourth reach effect, which will be described later, is executed, and the variable display result is a big hit or a miss.

As for the variable display of these fluctuation patterns PA2-4, PA2-5, PB1-4, and PB1-5, as shown in FIGS. 287-8 and 287-9, the longer the special figure variable display time is, the more variable the display is. The rate at which the result is a big hit (big hit expectation) is set to be high. That is, for the variable display of these fluctuation patterns PA2-4, PA2-5, PB1-4, and PB1-5, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit after being executed up to the fourth reach effect is executed by the third reach effect. The variable display result is set higher than the ratio that becomes a big hit.

In the present feature unit 079SG, the second reach effect is always executed after the first reach effect, and the fourth reach effect is always executed after the third reach effect, but the present invention is limited to this. The second reach effect and the fourth reach effect may be performed by themselves.

Further, in the feature unit 079SG, each reach effect can be executed by a combination of the first reach effect and the second reach effect during the variable display, and can be executed by the combination of the third reach effect and the fourth reach effect. Although possible forms have been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach effect is a combination other than these combinations (for example, a first reach effect and a fourth reach effect, a second reach effect and a third reach effect). A case may be provided in which the execution is performed by a combination of reach effects and the like).

Further, in the present feature section 069SG, as shown in FIG. 287-9, the fluctuation patterns of the super reach β system (variation patterns PA2-4, PA2-5, PB1-4, PB1-5) are generally super reach α system. The rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit (big hit expectation) is set higher than the fluctuation pattern (variation pattern PA2-2, PA2-3, PB1-2, PB1-3) of the present invention. A part of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β system (variation pattern PA2-4, PA2-5, PB1-4, PB1-5) is not limited to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α system (variation pattern PA2-). 2. The jackpot expectation may be lower than any of PA2-3, PB1-2, PB1-3).

In the feature unit 079SG, the data constituting the start winning reception command buffer 079SG194A as shown in FIG. 287-11 (B) is stored in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting unit 079SG194. In the start winning command receive command buffer 079SG194A, the storage area (buffer numbers "1-1" to "1-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages of the first special figure reserved storage is set. A corresponding area) and a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “1-0”) corresponding to the first special figure during variable display are provided. Further, the start winning command buffer 079SG194A has a storage area (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the second special figure reserved storage. A storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) corresponding to the second special figure during variable display is provided. When there is a start winning to the 1st start winning opening or the 2nd starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (the 1st starting opening winning designation command or the 2nd starting opening winning designation command) and the hold storage number notification command (the first) Two commands (1 hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command) are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command receive command buffer 079SG194A associate these start opening winning designation commands with the hold storage number notification command. , A storage area (entry) for storing the first special figure holding storage and the second special figure holding storage separately is secured.

The stored contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1" or buffer number "2-1") is started. The stored contents of the buffer number "1-0" or the buffer number "2-0" for storing the contents of the reserved storage for which the start condition is satisfied are displayed in a variable manner. It is set to be cleared in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the process is finished.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the command at the time of the start winning to the first start winning opening from the beginning (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 079SG194A. Then, at the time of the start winning to the second start winning opening, the command is stored from the beginning (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the second special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 079SG194A. go. At the time of the start winning, the start opening prize designation command to the hold storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, the start opening prize designation command is placed in the storage area corresponding to each of the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage or the second special figure hold storage. , The pending memory count notification command will be stored in this order.

The command stored in the start winning command buffer 079SG194A shown in FIG. 287-11 (B) is an entry (buffer) corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display that was terminated immediately before each time the variable display of the decorative symbol was started. The entry stored in the number "1-0" or "2-0") is deleted, and the entry corresponding to the pending storage of the variable display to be started (buffer number "1-1" or "2") is deleted. The storage contents of the entries stored in the entry corresponding to -1 ”) and the entries after the hold storage of the variable display to be started are shifted. For example, when the variable display of the decorative symbol of the first special figure hold storage is completed in the stored state shown in FIG. 287-11 (B), each command stored in the buffer number “0” is deleted, and the buffer number is deleted. Each command stored in "1" is shifted to the buffer number "0", and each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer number "2" is moved to the area corresponding to the buffer number "1". Each command that has been shifted and stored in the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "3" and "4" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "2" and "3". Therefore, the buffer number "0" is an area (entry) for storing each command related to the hold storage that is variably displayed at that time.

Next, the start winning determination process of the feature unit 079SG executed in step S101 of FIG. 279 will be described with reference to FIG. 287-12. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting port switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether or not it is in a state (step 079 SGS101). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is in the ON state (step 079SGS101; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the first special figure, is the predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 079 SGS102). 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 079SG154. When the first special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step 079SGS102 (step 079SGS102; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 079SG155 is set to "1" (step 079SGS102; N). Step 079 SGS103).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step 079SGS101 (step 079SGS101; N) or when the first special figure reserved storage number reaches the upper limit value in step 079SGS102 (step 079SGS102; Y). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is in the ON state ( Step 079 SGS104). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is in the ON state (step 079SGS104; Y), 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. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 079 SGS105). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure hold storage number by reading, for example, the second hold storage number count value which is the storage value of the second hold storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 079SG154. When the second special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step 079SGS105 (step 079SGS105; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 079SG155 is set to "2" (step 079SGS105; N). Step 079 SGS106).

After executing any of the processes of step 079SGS103 and step 079SGS106, the number of special figure hold storage 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 079SGS107). 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 079 SGS108). 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 079SG154, may be updated to be added by 1.

After executing the process of step 079SGS108, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determination from the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random number of the game control counter setting unit 079SG154. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for the purpose and the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (step 079SGS109). 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 079SGS110). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first special figure reservation storage unit 079SG151A stores numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the start port buffer value is "2". Numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 079SG151B.

Numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type determine whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is "big hit", and further, the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step 079SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for determining the variable display result including the variable display result of the special symbol and the decorative symbol and the variable display time.

Following the process of step 079SGS110, the transmission setting of the start opening winning designation command according to the start opening buffer value is performed (step 079SGS111). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. 12 is set to send the first start opening winning designation command. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 can be used. The setting for sending the second start opening prize designation command is made. The start port winning designation command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 278 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

Following the processing of step 079 SGS111, for example, by storing the storage address of the hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the hold storage is stored in the effect control board 12. Make settings for sending the number notification command (step 079 SGS113). The hold storage number notification command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 278 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

After executing the process of step 079SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start port buffer value is "1" (step 079SGS114). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step 079SGS114; Y), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 079SGS115), and then the process of step 079SGS104 is performed. move on. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (step 079SGS114; N), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 079SGS116), and then the start prize is won. End the process. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B detect a valid start prize for the game ball at the same time, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be surely completed.

FIG. 287-13 is a part of a flowchart showing the effect control process processing in the feature unit 079SG. In the effect control process process, the effect control CPU 120 updates the hold display in the first hold storage display area 079SHSG005D and the second hold storage display area 079SG005U after executing the look-ahead advance notice setting process (step S161), and the first of these. The hold display operation process (step 079SG162) for operating (rotating display) the hold display displayed in the hold storage display area 079SHSG005D and the second hold storage display area 079SG005U, and the operation display of the telop in the telop display area 079SG005T. After executing the telop operation process (step 079SGS163) to be performed and the fourth symbol display process (step 079SG164) to execute the variable display of the fourth symbol 079SG005J, any one of steps S170 to S177 is executed according to the value of the effect control process flag. Executes the processing of.

FIG. 287-14 is a flowchart showing a variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 282. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable start command reception flag is on (step 079 SGS271). When the first variable start command reception flag is on (step 079SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer 079SG194A are set. The various command data and various flags stored in association with each other are shifted higher by one buffer number (step 079SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

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

If the first variation start command reception flag is off in step 079SGS271 (step 079SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variation start command reception flag is on (step 079SGS273). When the second variation start command reception flag is off (step 079SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and when the second variation start command reception flag is on (step 079SGS273; Y), Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure hold storage in the received command buffer 079SG194A at the time of starting winning are stored for each buffer number. Shift to a higher position (step 079 SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

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

After executing step 079SGS272 or step 079SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 079SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (step 079SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol according to the display result specified by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the stopped symbol of the determined decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. do.

In the feature unit 079SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, "7" as a stop symbol. ”Determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbols). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command or the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B or the probability variation jackpot C, the stop symbol is other than "7". It is determined from a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols (for example, combinations of decorative symbols such as "111", "333", "555", and "999"). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fifth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probability change jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, a decorative symbol in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as stop symbols. Determine the combination (big hit symbol). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the sixth variable display result designation command corresponding to a small hit, the stop symbol is determined from "334", "778", etc., which are chance eyes. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss, it is a decorative symbol in which the three symbols are not uniform as the stop symbol, and a combination other than the above-mentioned chance eyes. Determine (missing symbol).

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

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern (step 079SGS277). When the variable display variation pattern is a non-reach or normal reach variation pattern (step 079SGS277; N), the process proceeds to step 079SGS283, and when the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern (step 079SGS277; Y). Executes the chance-up effect determination process (step 079 SGS278), and determines whether or not to execute the chance-up effect in the latter half of the first reach effect or the second half of the third reach effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 287-15, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the chance-up effect is decided to be executed at a rate of 20%, and the chance-up effect is not executed at a rate of 80%. decide. If the variable display result is a big hit, the execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 80%, and the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 20%. That is, in the variable display of the reach of the feature unit 079SG, when the chance-up effect is executed, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the chance-up effect is not executed.

As shown in FIGS. 287-27 and 287-32, the feature unit 079SG is provided with only one effect pattern as the effect mode of the chance-up effect, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, a plurality of effect patterns may be provided as an effect mode of the chance-up effect, and the jackpot expectation may be different depending on which effect pattern the chance-up effect is executed.

Further, in the present feature unit 079SG, as shown in FIGS. 287-27 and 287-32, the effect start timing of the chance-up effect is only one, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the chance-up effect is not limited to this. A plurality of production start timings of the production may be provided, and the jackpot expectation may be different depending on which production start timing the chance-up production is started.

Further, after the execution / non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined in step 079 SGS278, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach α3 (PA2-3 or PB1-3). (Step 079 SGS279). When the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach α3 (PA2-3 or PB1-3) (step 079SGS279; Y), the notification effect (big hit notification effect or loss) is performed after the second reach effect is completed. The still image display effect for determining the effect pattern of the still image display effect that displays the still image displayed at the end of the second reach effect on the image display device 5 during the period until the notification effect) is started. The determination process (step 079SGS280) is executed, and the process proceeds to step 079SGS283.

In the still image display effect determination process, as shown in FIG. 287-16 (A), when the variable display result is out of alignment, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect pattern of the still image display effect at a rate of 100%. If the pattern SG-1 is determined and the variable display result is a big hit, the effect pattern of the still image display effect is determined to be the pattern SG-1 at a rate of 80%, and the pattern SG-2 is determined at a rate of 20%. do.

As shown in FIG. 287-16 (B), the pattern SG-1 for the still image display effect stops the image displayed in the first display area 079SG005F of the image display device 5 at the end of the second reach effect. It is an effect pattern to be displayed as an image, and the still image display effect pattern SG-2 is after displaying the image displayed in the first display area 079SG005F of the image display device 5 as a still image at the end of the second reach effect. , Is an effect pattern that changes the color of the still image.

In particular, the pattern SG-2 is an effect pattern that is executed only when the variable display result is a big hit. Therefore, if the second reach effect is executed, is the still image display effect executed by the pattern SG-2? It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not (whether or not the color of the still image changes).

Further, when it is not the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α3 in step 079SGS281 (step 079SGS281; N), it is further determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the superreach β3 (PA2-5 or PB1-5) (step 079SGS281; N). Step S079SGS282). When the variation pattern of the variable display is a variation pattern other than the super reach β3 (step 079SGS281; N), the process proceeds to step 079SGS283, and when the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach β3 (step 079SGS281; Y). ), The operation promotion effect determination process (step 079SGS282) for determining the effect pattern of the operation promotion effect for urging the player to operate the push button 31B during the execution of the fourth reach effect is executed, and the process proceeds to step 079SGS283. ..

In the operation promotion effect determination process, as shown in FIG. 287-17 (A), the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect pattern SS of the operation promotion effect at a rate of 80% when the variable display result is out of alignment. It is decided to be -1, and the pattern SS-2 is decided at a rate of 20%. When the variable display result is a big hit, the effect pattern of the operation promotion effect is determined to be the pattern SS-1 at a rate of 20%, and the pattern SS-2 is determined at a rate of 80%.

As shown in FIG. 287-17 (B), the operation promotion effect pattern SS-1 is an effect pattern for displaying the image of the push button 31B on the first display area 079SG005F of the image display device 5, and is an operation promotion pattern. The effect pattern SS-2 is an effect pattern for displaying the image of the push button 31B in the first display area 079SG005F of the image display device 5 in a size larger than that of the pattern SS-1.

That is, as the operation promotion effect in the feature unit 079SG, when the image of the large size push button 31B is displayed in the first display area 079SG005F of the image display device 5, the operation promotion effect is executed in the pattern SS-2. ) Is higher than the case where the image of the normal size push button 31B is displayed in the first display area 079SG005F of the image display device 5 (when the operation promotion effect is executed by the pattern SS-1). Since the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit (the big hit notification effect is executed) is high, the player is made to pay attention to the size of the image of the push button 31B displayed on the image display device 5 when the operation promotion effect is executed. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

In step 079 SGS283, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not each effect such as the above-mentioned chance-up effect, still image display effect, and operation promotion effect is executed, and the effect control pattern (process table) according to the effect pattern and the variable pattern designation command. select. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 079 SGS284).

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

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect device (image display as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Control of the device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L, 8R as production parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (step 079SGS285). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control lighting / extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

In the feature unit 079SG, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern designation command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed by the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one, but the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the specified command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 079SGS286). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 079SGS287). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and each time the predetermined time elapses, the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols to the VRAM, and the display control unit 123 writes the image data to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, whereby variable display (variation) of the decorative pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S172) (step 079 SGS288).

In the variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts (-1) the value of the process timer each time the variable display effect process is executed, and the process timer after the subtraction is timer-out. Determine if it has been done. Then, if the process timer after subtraction is not timer-out, the effector is controlled according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer, and if the process timer after subtraction is timer-out, the process data The effect device may be controlled according to the contents of the next process data by switching and starting the next process timer.

Next, an effect mode of variable display of super reach α1 to α3 and super reach β1 to β3 in the feature unit 079SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 287-18 to 287-35.

(Explanation related to the association of characteristic parts)
Each configuration relating to the feature portion 059AK may be appropriately combined with a part or all of the configurations relating to other feature portions such as the feature portion 063AK, the feature portion 065AK, and the feature portion 079SG. The feature portions thus combined or the individual feature portions that are not combined may be appropriately combined with a part or all of each configuration related to other feature portions. For example, in addition to controlling the time saving state by stopping and displaying the time saving symbol like the feature part 059AK, the small hit game state ends based on passing through the time saving area 063AK20 like the feature part 063AK. Then, it may be controlled to shorten the time for a predetermined period. In addition to this, even when the time-saving symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result of the normal symbol, as in the feature unit 065AK, the time-saving state may be controlled. According to this, the opportunity to be controlled to the time saving state increases, and the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, for example, the feature unit features a time-saving fanning effect in the feature section 059AK, a normal time-passing fanning effect and a time-saving passing fanning effect in the feature section 063AK, a predetermined effect in the feature section 065AK, and a reach effect of Super Reach A to Super Reach C. It may be a predetermined effect in 079SG. Then, in the first period of the predetermined effect, the effect moving image whose progress speed of the effect is the first speed can be displayed on the image display device 5 as the display means, and the predetermined effect after the first period can be displayed. In the second period, it is possible to display the effect moving image, which is the second speed in which the progress speed of the effect is slower than the first speed, on the image display device 5, and the effect sound corresponding to the predetermined effect is the first period. In any of the second period and the second period, the speed related to the effect sound may be configured to be output at the same speed by the speakers 8L and 8R as the sound output means. According to this, the progress speed of the effect video of the predetermined effect changes between the first period and the second period, but the speed related to the effect sound does not change between the first period and the second period. It is possible to prevent giving a feeling of strangeness.
