It includes 250, a jackpot game executing means 252, a game state transition control means 260, a payout control means 270, a communication control means 280, and a main memory 290.

The setting changing means 205 controls to change the setting value stored in the setting value storing means 2905. In the present embodiment, six setting states of setting 1 to setting 6 and a setting state without setting in which the setting stage does not exist are prepared as the setting state of the gaming machine, and the inside of the main body of the gaming machine of the present embodiment is prepared. When the power of the gaming machine is turned on after the setting key is inserted into the key cylinder constituting the provided setting change switch and the setting key is turned clockwise, the setting changing means 205 changes the setting of the gaming machine. Control to the permitted state. Then, when the reset switch provided inside the main body of the gaming machine of the present embodiment operates in the setting change permission state, each time an input signal from the reset switch is received, a setting value indicating the setting state of the gaming machine is set 1. → Change in the order of setting 2 → ・ ・ ・ setting 6 → no setting → setting 1 → ・ ・ ・. Then, when the setting key is turned counterclockwise and returned to the reference position, the set value is fixed, and the fixed set value is stored in the set value storage means 2905.

Then, the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 is maintained in the stored state of the set value even when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, and when the power is turned on again, the operation of changing the above-mentioned set value is performed. Unless otherwise specified, the same setting value is set. As a result, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a plurality of gaming machines are installed in the gaming field, different setting values are set for each of the plurality of gaming machines, and different setting values are set for one gaming machine depending on the day. It can be set.

Further, when the setting change means 205 controls to change the set value, the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 sets the setting change flag to the ON state, and when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, the setting change means 205 sets the setting change flag to the ON state. Set the setting change flag to the OFF state. Further, the setting change means 205 sets the setting change flag to the OFF state in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the control for changing the set value is not performed.

The random number generation means 210 is a means for generating a random number value for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator that generates a hardware random number or a program that generates a software random number. The software random number can be generated, for example, based on the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the "random number value" is not only a value that randomly occurs in a mathematical sense, but also a value that is generated regularly, but the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Also includes values that can function as random numbers.

The ordinary lottery means 220 is a random number value for ordinary lottery (lottery information) from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the passing gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the passing gate 48 one by one. Is stored in the ordinary random number storage means 2912 of the main memory 290, and a normal lottery is performed to determine whether or not the normal lottery random number value read from the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is a normal hit.

Specifically, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is provided with four ordinary hold storage areas 1 to 4 as storage areas for storing the acquired random number values for ordinary lottery. Then, apart from the normal random number storage means 2912, the random number value for the normal lottery read from the normal hold storage area 1 of the normal random number storage means 2912 and the normal lottery is performed is stored until the variation display and the stop display of the normal symbol are completed. As a storage area, one ordinary hold storage area is provided. Then, when the ordinary lottery random number value is acquired from the random number generating means 210, the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the ordinary lottery random number value in a state where the ordinary lottery random number value is not stored in any of the ordinary hold storage area 1 to the ordinary hold storage area 4. First, the random number value for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary hold storage area 1. When the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1, if the normal symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area. If not, the normal lottery random number value is immediately read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random number value obtained by the normal lottery is stored in the normal hold storage area. On the other hand, when the normal symbol is in the variable display or the stop display, that is, when the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area, the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1. Withhold.

Then, when the detection signal is further input from the passing gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random number value is acquired in the state where the normal lottery random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1, the normal lottery means 220 is used. , On the condition that the number of normal lottery random numbers held in the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of normal hold is less than 4. The normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area which is the normal hold storage area in which the normal lottery random number value is not held and the ordinal number is the smallest among the normal hold storage areas 1 to the normal hold storage area 4.

Then, when the fluctuation display and the stop display of the normal symbol are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random value stored in the normal hold storage area, and the normal lottery random value is set in the normal hold storage area 1. When it is on hold, the normal lottery random number value is read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random number value obtained by the normal lottery is stored in the normal hold storage area. Here, when the normal lottery random number value remains after the normal hold storage area 2, the remaining normal lottery random number value is the normal hold storage area whose ordinal number is one smaller than the original normal hold storage area. Move to. For example, when the normal lottery random value remains in the normal hold storage area 2 to the normal hold storage area 3, it is moved to the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 2.

In this way, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, the random number value for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is performed is held up to one in the ordinary hold storage area, and the random number value for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is not performed is stored in the ordinary hold storage. Up to 4 items are reserved in the area 1 to the normal hold storage area 4.

The details of the ordinary lottery will be described below. The ordinary lottery means 220 performs ordinary hit determination processing, ordinary variation pattern determination processing, and the like as ordinary lottery.

The normal hit determination process is a process for determining whether or not a normal hit is correct. In the ordinary winning determination process, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to which of the plurality of types of ordinary lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the game state.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the ordinary lottery table A and the ordinary lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910, and in each ordinary lottery table, each of the 100 ordinary lottery random numbers from 0 to 99 is stored. On the other hand, normal hits or misses are associated. In detail, in the ordinary lottery table A, the correspondence between the ordinary hit or the loss and a plurality of random values is set so that the ordinary hit is won with a probability of about 1/20, and in the ordinary lottery table B, about 19 / The correspondence between the normal hit or loss and the normal lottery random value of 0 to 99 is set so that the normal win is won with a probability of 20. Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 selects the ordinary lottery table A when the gaming state is not the time saving state, and selects the ordinary lottery table B when the gaming state is the time saving state.

Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to the selected ordinary lottery table and determines whether or not one ordinary lottery random number value read from the ordinary hold storage area 1 of the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is associated with a normal hit. By judging, it is judged whether or not the normal hit is won.

Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 sets the ordinary winning winning flag to the ON state in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the ordinary winning is won, and when the ordinary winning is lost, the ordinary winning is won. Set the flag to the OFF state.

The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of a plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol should be according to the gaming state. In the normal fluctuation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol to the normal fluctuation pattern 1 when the gaming state is not the time saving state, and when the gaming state is the time saving state, the normal symbol is determined. The fluctuation pattern of is determined to be the normal fluctuation pattern 2.

The normal display control means 222 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs the normal symbol display control process and the normal hold display control process.

In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 until the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol determined in the normal fluctuation pattern determination process elapses. By doing so, the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 depending on whether or not the normal hit is won in the normal hit determination process. , The result of the ordinary lottery is displayed on the ordinary symbol display unit 72.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal fluctuation pattern 1, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 20 seconds, and when the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal fluctuation pattern 2, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is set to 20 seconds. The fluctuation time of a normal symbol is set to 1 second. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is not the time saving state, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal fluctuation pattern 1, so that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 20 seconds. If the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is the time saving state, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal fluctuation pattern 2, so that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 1 second. , When the game state is not the time saving state, the opportunity to execute the normal lottery comes more frequently.

In the normal hold display control process, the normal display control means 222 turns on, off, or blinks the two lamps of the normal hold display unit 74 according to the number of normal lottery random number values stored in the normal random number storage means 2912. Depending on the combination of letting, 0 to 4 normal hold numbers are displayed.

The ordinary bonus control means 224 is a means for controlling the ordinary bonus drive device 122 based on the lottery result of the ordinary lottery, and performs the ordinary bonus control process 1, the ordinary bonus control process 2, and the like.

In the normal bonus control process 1, when the game state is not the time saving state, the normal bonus 52 is displayed until 0.1 seconds have elapsed, triggered by the stop display of the normal symbol in a mode indicating winning of the normal hit. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so as to return to the reduced state after the expanded state.

In the normal bonus control process 2, when the game state is a time-saving state, the normal bonus 52 expands until 2 seconds elapse, triggered by the stop display of the normal symbol in a mode indicating winning of a normal hit. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so as to return to the reduced state after the state is reached.

Therefore, in the normal bonus control process 1, the normal bonus 52 operates so that the ease of entering the game ball into the second start winning opening 50 is hardly increased, but in the normal bonus control process 2, the second start is performed. The ordinary accessory 52 operates so as to increase the ease of entry of the game ball into the winning opening 50.

The special lottery means 230 is for special lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 that detects the game balls entering the first starting winning opening 46 one by one. The random number value (lottery information) is acquired and stored as the first special random number value (first lottery information) in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290. Further, the special lottery means 230 is a special lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the second start winning opening sensor 107 that detects the game balls entering the second starting winning opening 50 one by one.

Two jackpot determination random numbers are selected depending on whether they are stored as the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the big hit lottery table A and the big hit lottery table B as shown in FIG. 6 are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. Then, in each jackpot lottery table, a jackpot or a small hit is associated with each of 65536 jackpot determination random values from 0 to 65535. In detail, in the jackpot lottery table A, the jackpot, the jackpot or the loss and 0 to 65535 are set so that the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/199 and the small hit is won with a probability of about 1/199. The correspondence with the jackpot determination random value is set, and in the jackpot lottery table B, the jackpot is won so that the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/199 and the small hit is won with a probability of about 1/7. The correspondence between the small hit or the loss and the big hit determination random value of 0 to 65535 is set. Then, when the one jackpot determination random value read out is stored as the first special random number value, the special lottery means 230 selects the jackpot lottery table A, and the one read jackpot determination random number value is the second special. If it is stored as a random number value, the jackpot lottery table B is selected.

Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected jackpot lottery table and determines whether or not one read jackpot determination random value is associated with the jackpot or the jackpot, thereby winning the jackpot or the jackpot. Decide if you did.

Then, when the big hit is won, the special lottery means 230 sets the big hit winning flag to the ON state in the flag storage means 2916, and when the small hit is won, the flag storage means 2916 sets the small hit. The winning flag is set to the ON state, and if a loss occurs, the big hit winning flag and the small hit winning flag are set to the OFF state.

Here, in the present embodiment, the lottery table storage means 2910 sets 6 sets of big hit lottery tables A to big hit lottery tables B having different jackpot winning probabilities with the above-mentioned 6-step setting values (settings 1 to 6) and settings. I remember it in correspondence with each of none. Then, when the gaming state at the time of performing the jackpot determination process is the normal state or the time saving state, the special lottery means 230 is a jackpot corresponding to the set value based on the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905. Select one of the lottery table A to the jackpot lottery table B.

Specifically, in the jackpot lottery table A to the jackpot lottery table B corresponding to each of the settings 1 to 6, the higher the set value, the higher the probability of winning the jackpot, that is, setting 6> setting 5> ... > The correspondence between the jackpot and the random number value is set so that the winning probability of the jackpot increases in the order of setting 1. The jackpot lottery table A to the jackpot lottery table B corresponding to no setting are common to the jackpot lottery table A to the jackpot lottery table B corresponding to the setting 1.

The jackpot lottery table A to the jackpot lottery table B in which the jackpot winning probability shown in FIG. 6 is set to about 1/199 are the jackpot lottery tables A to selected when the set value is setting 1 or no setting. In the jackpot lottery table A to the jackpot lottery table B, which is the jackpot lottery table B and is not shown, but is selected when the set value is the setting 6, the jackpot winning probability is set to about 1/149.

The symbol determination process is a process performed when a jackpot or a small hit is won in the jackpot determination process, and is stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage means 2914. When one symbol determination random number value included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value is read and a jackpot is won, the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) is selected from the 10-round symbol and the 5-round symbol. It is a process of determining which one to use, and if a small hit is won, which of the small hit symbol A and the small hit symbol B is used as the small hit symbol (type of small hit). Here, one symbol determination random number value is acquired from 100 symbol determination random number values from 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 or the second starting winning opening sensor 107. It is stored as a first special random number value or a second special random number value in the special random number storage means 2914.

Then, in the symbol determination process, the special lottery means 230 reads out which of the plurality of types of symbol lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to for the random number determination process. Select according to whether the numerical value is stored as the first special random number value or the second special random number value. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the symbol lottery table A to the symbol lottery table C as shown in FIG. 6 are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910.

In detail, the symbol lottery table A is selected when a jackpot is won and one read symbol determination random value is stored as the first special random number value, and has a probability of about 50/100. The correspondence between the 10-round symbol or the 5-round symbol and the random value of 0 to 99 is set so that the round symbol is won and the 5-round symbol is won with a probability of about 50/100.

Further, the symbol lottery table B is selected when a big hit is won and one read symbol determination random value is stored as a second special random number value, and a 10-round symbol has a probability of 100/100. The correspondence between the 10-round symbol and the random value of 0 to 99 is set so as to win.

The symbol lottery table C is selected when a small hit is won, so that the small hit symbol A is won with a probability of about 80/100 and the small hit symbol B is won with a probability of about 20/100. The correspondence between the winning symbol A or the small hit symbol B and the random value of 0 to 99 is set.

Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected symbol lottery table and determines whether the read one symbol determination random value is associated with a plurality of types of jackpot symbols or a plurality of types of small hit symbols. It is determined whether a plurality of types of big hit symbols or a plurality of types of small hit symbols are won.

Then, the special lottery means 230 sets the winning flag corresponding to the winning big hit symbol or the small hit symbol to the ON state in the flag storage means 2916.

The variable group determination process is a process performed when the jackpot determination process is lost, and is a first stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage means 2914. One variation group determination random number included in the special random number value or the second special random number value is read out, and the variation group to which the variation pattern of the first special symbol or the second special symbol belongs is set to either group 0 to group 5. Is the process of determining. Here, one variable group determined random number value is 100 variable group determined random numbers from 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first starting winning opening sensor 106 or the second starting winning opening sensor 107.

Then, in the variable group determination process, the special lottery means 230 performs the variable group determination process by referring to which of the plurality of types of variable group lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 to perform the random number determination process. It is selected according to the number of holds and the game state, which is the total number of the first special hold and the second special hold at the time of the performance.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the variable group lottery table A to the variable group lottery table D as shown in FIG. 7 are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. Then, in each variable group lottery table, any of group 0 to group 5 is associated with each of the 100 variable group determined random values from 0 to 99. When the game state at the time of performing the variable group determination process is the normal state and the number of reservations is 0 to 1, the special lottery means 230 selects the variable group lottery table A and the game state is the normal state. If the number of holdings is 2 to 3, the variable group lottery table B is selected, and if the gaming state is the normal state and the number of holdings is 4 to 7, the variable group lottery table is selected. When C is selected and the gaming state is a time saving state, the variable group lottery table D is selected under predetermined conditions.

Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected variable group lottery table and determines which of the plurality of types of variable groups the read one variable group determination random value is associated with, thereby performing a plurality of types. Determine one variable group from the variable groups.

Therefore, in the variable group determination process, when the game state is the normal state and the number of holdings is 0 to 1, any one of group 2, group 3, group 4 and group 5 is determined, and the game is played. When the state is the normal state and the number of holdings is 2 to 3, any one of group 1, group 2, group 4 and group 5 is determined, and the gaming state is the normal state and is held. When the number is 4 to 7, any one of group 1, group 2, group 4 and group 5 is determined, and when the gaming state is the time saving state, the group regardless of the number of reservations. One of 0, group 4 and group 5 is determined.

The first variation pattern determination process is one included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage means 2914. First fluctuation pattern determination The random number value is read out, and the first half fluctuation pattern corresponding to the first half portion (first part) of the fluctuation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to any of a plurality of types of first half fluctuation patterns. It is a process to decide whether to do it. Here, one first variation pattern determination random number value is 100 first variation of 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 or the second starting winning opening sensor 107. It is acquired from the pattern determination random number value and stored as the first special random number value or the second special random number value in the special random number storage means 2914.

Then, in the first variation pattern determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which of the plurality of types of first variation pattern lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to for the random number determination process. If there is a loss in the decision process, select according to the variable group determined in the variable group determination process, and if a big hit or small hit is determined in the jackpot determination process, the game state and symbol determination process at that time. Select according to the design determined in.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery table storage means 2910 stores the first variable pattern lottery table A to the first variable pattern lottery table J as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. Then, in each first fluctuation pattern lottery table, there is no first half fluctuation pattern as a plurality of types of first half fluctuation patterns for each of 100 first fluctuation pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, and first half fluctuation patterns 1 to first half fluctuation patterns. Any of 7 is associated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the special lottery means 230 is a case where the first variable pattern lottery table A is selected when the group 1 is determined and the case is lost. When group 2 is determined, the first variable pattern lottery table B is selected, and when group 3 is determined, the first variable pattern lottery table C is selected. If the group 4 is determined in the case of loss, the first variable pattern lottery table D is selected, and if the group 5 is determined in the case of the loss, the first variable pattern lottery table D is selected. The variable pattern lottery table E is selected, and when the group 0 is determined even if the table is lost, the first variable pattern lottery table F is selected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the big hit is won and the 10-round symbol (specific symbol) is determined in the normal state, or when the small hit is won and the small hit symbol A (specific symbol) is determined, When the first variable pattern lottery table G is selected and the big hit is won and the 5 round symbol (normal symbol) is decided in the normal state, or when the small hit is won and the small hit symbol B (normal symbol) is decided. Selects the first variable pattern lottery table H, and the big hit is won and the 10-round symbol (specific symbol) is decided in the time saving state, or the small hit is won and the small hit symbol A (specific symbol) is decided. In that case, the first variable pattern lottery table I is selected, and the big hit is won and the 5 round symbol (normal symbol) is decided in the time saving state, or the small hit is won and the small hit symbol B (normal symbol) is decided. If so, the first variable pattern lottery table J is selected.

Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected first variation pattern lottery table and determines which of the plurality of types of first half variation patterns the read-out first variation pattern determination random number value is associated with. To determine one first half fluctuation pattern from a plurality of types of first half fluctuation patterns.

Therefore, in the first variation pattern determination process, if a loss occurs in the jackpot determination process, one of the first half variation pattern none and the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 7 shown in FIG. 8 is determined, and the jackpot is determined. Alternatively, when the small hit is determined, any one of the first half fluctuation pattern 5 to the first half fluctuation pattern 7 shown in FIG. 9 is determined.

The second variation pattern determination process is one included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage means 2914. Second variation pattern determination The random number value is read out, and the latter half variation pattern corresponding to the latter half part (second part) of the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to any of a plurality of types of latter half variation patterns. It is a process to decide whether to do it. Here, one second variation pattern determination random number value is 100 second variation from 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 or the second starting winning opening sensor 107. It is acquired from the pattern determination random number value and stored as the first special random number value or the second special random number value in the special random number storage means 2914.

Then, in the second variation pattern determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which of the plurality of types of second variation pattern lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to for the random number determination process. 1 Select according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined by the fluctuation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery table storage means 2910 stores the second variable pattern lottery table A to the second variable pattern lottery table H as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. Then, in each second variation pattern lottery table, for each of the 100 variation group determination random values from 0 to 99, the reach-less variation pattern 1 to the reach-less variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5 are obtained. Either is associated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the special lottery means 230 selects the second variation pattern lottery table A when it is determined that there is no first half variation pattern and the loss occurs. When the first half fluctuation pattern 1 is determined, the second fluctuation pattern lottery table B is selected, and even if the first half fluctuation pattern 1 is lost, one of the first half fluctuation pattern 2 to the first half fluctuation pattern 4 is determined. In that case, the second variable pattern lottery table C is selected, and if the first half variable pattern 5 or the first half variable pattern 6 is determined in the case of a loss, the second variable pattern lottery table D is selected. If the first half fluctuation pattern 6 or the first half fluctuation pattern 7 is determined, the second fluctuation pattern lottery table E is selected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the big hit or the small hit is won and the first half fluctuation pattern 5 is determined, the second fluctuation pattern lottery table F is selected and the big hit or the small hit is determined. If the first half variation pattern 6 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table G is selected, and if a big hit or a small hit is determined and the first half variation pattern 7 is determined. Selects the second variable pattern lottery table H.

The correspondence between the first variable pattern lottery table and the second variable pattern lottery table does not have to be a one-to-one relationship, and the first variable pattern lottery table and the second variable pattern lottery table may be in accordance with the determined variable group. The correspondence with the variable pattern lottery table may be changed.

Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected second variation pattern lottery table, and one read second variation pattern determination random value corresponds to either a plurality of types of reachless variation patterns or a plurality of types of reach variation patterns. By determining whether or not the pattern is attached, one latter half variation pattern is determined from a plurality of types of non-reach variation patterns and a plurality of types of reach variation patterns.

Therefore, in the second fluctuation pattern determination process, if a loss occurs, any one of the reachless fluctuation pattern 1 to the reachless fluctuation pattern 3 and the reach fluctuation pattern 1 to the reach fluctuation pattern 5 shown in FIG. 10 is determined. When a big hit or a small hit is determined, any one of the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5 shown in FIG. 11 is determined.

Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the fluctuation time is set for each of the plurality of types of first half fluctuation patterns and the plurality of types of second half fluctuation patterns. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, there is no first half fluctuation pattern that can be determined by the first fluctuation pattern determination process in the case of loss, and the first half fluctuation pattern 4 has 0 to 10.5 seconds. 6 for the first half fluctuation pattern 5 to the first half fluctuation pattern 7 that can be determined by the first fluctuation pattern determination process in both the case where a relatively short fluctuation time is set and a loss occurs and the big hit or the small hit is determined. A relatively long fluctuation time of 2 to 20 seconds is set.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the reachless variation pattern 1 to the reachless variation pattern 3 that can be determined by the second variation pattern determination process in the case of loss have a relatively short variation time of 1 to 3 seconds. The reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 that can be determined by the second variation pattern determination process of both the case of being lost and the case of determining the big hit or the small hit are compared from 10 seconds to 50 seconds. A long fluctuation time is set.

Therefore, even if there is a loss, if the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5 in which the relatively long variation time is set are determined in the second variation pattern determination process, a big hit or a small hit is made. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the hit will be decided.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the game is lost and the gaming state is the normal state and the number of holdings is 0 to 1, the variable group lottery table A shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process, and the group is grouped. In the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and the variation time is set to 1 second because the group 2 is easily determined while the 3 may be determined. The first half fluctuation pattern 1 and the first half fluctuation pattern 2 in which the fluctuation time is set to 3 seconds are easily determined, and in the second fluctuation pattern determination process, the second fluctuation pattern lottery table B or the second variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 2 The variation pattern lottery table C is referred to, and it becomes easy to determine the reachless variation pattern 2 in which the variation time is set to 2 seconds or the reachless variation pattern 3 in which the variation time is set to 3 seconds.

Further, when the game is lost and the game state is the normal state and the number of holdings is 2 to 3, the variable group lottery table B shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process, and the group 2 or the group 3 is used. In the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and the variation time is set to 1 second. The first half variation pattern 1 is easily determined, and in the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 10 is referred to, and the variation time is set to 2 seconds. 2 is easy to determine.

Further, when the game is lost and the game state is the normal state and the number of holdings is 4 to 7, the variable group lottery table C shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process, and the group 3 is determined. In the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and the variation time is set to 1 second. The variation pattern 1 is easily determined, and in the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 10 is referred to, and the reachless variation pattern 2 in which the variation time is set to 2 seconds is determined. It becomes easy to be done.

Further, when the game is lost and the game state is in the time saving state, the variable group lottery table D shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process regardless of the number of holdings, so that the group 0 can be easily determined. In the first fluctuation pattern determination process, the first fluctuation pattern lottery table F shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and it becomes easy to determine whether or not there is a first half fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is set to 0 seconds, and the second fluctuation pattern is determined. In the process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10 is referred to, and it becomes easy to determine the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second.

Therefore, in the case of loss, as the number of holdings increases in the normal state, a shorter fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Can be increased in frequency. Furthermore, in the time-saving state, a shorter fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of reservations, so that the frequency of execution of the special lottery is higher. can do.

Further, as described above, the special lottery means 230 is a special random number when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not in the variable display, the gaming state is not the special gaming state, and the small hit game is not being executed. The first special random number value or the second special random number value is read from the storage means 2914, and the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern determination process, etc. are performed as a special lottery. However, even when the first special random number value or the second special random number value is stored in the special random number storage means 2914, the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, and the first variation pattern determination process are performed as pre-determination processes. And the second fluctuation pattern determination process and the like are performed (preliminary determination means).

In detail, the special lottery means 230 (preliminary determination means) is a random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 or the second starting winning opening sensor 107. When a numerical value is acquired, it is stored as a first special random number value in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area. Before storing as the second special random number value in any of 4, the jackpot determination process and the symbol determination as the preliminary determination process for the first special random number value or the second special random number value according to the game state and the number of holdings at that time. Processing, variation group determination process, first variation pattern determination process, second variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed.

Then, the special lottery means 230 preliminarily obtains a pre-determination result including the results of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, and the second variation pattern determination process as the pre-determination process. One of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 1 in association with the first special random number value or the second special random number value that is the target of the determination process. -Store in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4.

The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and is a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special hold display control. Processing, the second special hold display control processing is performed.

The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the special display control means 240 is the first. The first special symbol until the total fluctuation time of the fluctuation time according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined by the fluctuation pattern determination process and the fluctuation time according to the second half fluctuation pattern determined by the second fluctuation pattern determination process elapses. After the first special symbol is variablely displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the display unit 76, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 in a predetermined mode. Let me.

When the drive control of the first special bonus drive device 124 and the specific bonus drive device 128 is performed so that the special bonus 56 and the specific bonus 68 are closed, the end condition of one round is satisfied. As a result, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

As described above, in the small hit game, in the small hit game, the operation of opening the first special accessory 56 for 0.1 seconds is repeated 12 times, and the specific accessory 68 is opened for 15 seconds. Since the operation is performed once, if the game ball is continuously fired so that the game ball wins in the first large winning opening 54, the game ball can enter the specific area 64 or the normal area 66. It has become like.

The jackpot game execution means 252 executes any of the jackpot game A to the jackpot game D based on the lottery result of the special lottery.

The jackpot game A is executed based on the fact that the 10-round symbol is won in the special lottery, and the jackpot game executing means 252 sets the upper limit of the round counter 2933 to 10 rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds for the 10-round symbol. A corresponding value (for example, 10) is set, and each time the second special accessory 60 operates in a predetermined manner in each round, the value corresponding to the number of rounds corresponding to the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set. Increment update is performed to add (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the jackpot game A ends.

In detail, in the jackpot game A, in the jackpot game of each round from the first round to the tenth round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the second special accessory 60 is opened, or the number of big prizes. When the value of the counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the second special accessory driving device 126 is performed so that the second special accessory 60 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The jackpot game B is executed based on the fact that the 5-round symbol is won in the special lottery, and the jackpot game executing means 252 is set to 5 times, which is a predetermined number of rounds for the 5-round symbol as the upper limit of the round counter 2933. A corresponding value (for example, 5) is set, and each time the second special accessory 60 operates in a predetermined manner in each round, the value corresponding to the number of rounds corresponding to the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set. Increment update is performed to add (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 5), the jackpot game B ends.

In detail, in the jackpot game B, in the jackpot game of each round from the first round to the fifth round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the second special accessory 60 is opened, or the number of big prizes. When the value of the counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the second special accessory driving device 126 is performed so that the second special accessory 60 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The jackpot game C is executed based on the detection of the entry of the game ball into the specific area 64 in the small hit game based on the winning of the small hit symbol A in the special lottery, and the jackpot game executing means 252 is executed. As the upper limit of the round counter 2933, a value (for example, 9) corresponding to 9 rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the small hit symbol A, and the second special accessory 60 is set in a predetermined manner in each round. Each time the operation is performed, an increment update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round is added to the stored value of the round counter 2933. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 9), the jackpot game C ends.

In detail, in the jackpot game C, the small hit game is set as the first round, and in the subsequent jackpot games of the second to tenth rounds, the opening timer 2934 is performed after the second special accessory 60 is opened. Drive control of the second special accessory drive device 126 so that the second special accessory 60 is closed when the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10). Is done. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The jackpot game D is executed based on the detection of the entry of the game ball into the specific area 64 in the small hit game based on the winning of the small hit symbol B in the special lottery, and the jackpot game executing means 252 is executed. As the upper limit of the round counter 2933, a value (for example, 4) corresponding to four times, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the small hit symbol B, and the second special accessory 60 is set in a predetermined manner in each round. Each time the operation is performed, an increment update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round is added to the stored value of the round counter 2933. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 4), the jackpot game D ends.

In detail, in the jackpot game D, the small hit game is set as the first round, and in the subsequent jackpot games of the second to fifth rounds, the opening timer 2934 is performed after the second special accessory 60 is opened. Drive control of the second special accessory drive device 126 so that the second special accessory 60 is closed when the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10). Is done. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

As shown in FIG. 12, the game state transition control means 260 (state control means) shifts the game state between the normal state, the special game state, and the time saving state based on the establishment of the predetermined transition condition. Perform control processing. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are set, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the special gaming state. Then, in the normal state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table A in which the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 1/20, the winning probability of the big hit is set to about 1/199, and the small hit is drawn. A special lottery is performed with reference to the jackpot lottery table A that is not set as a target.

In the normal state, the winning probability of a normal win in the normal lottery is as low as about 1/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as long as 20 seconds, and the period in which the normal character 52 is in the expanded state is 0.1 seconds. Since it is shortened, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 50. That is, the normal state is a gaming state in which it is more advantageous for the player to strike left.

The special game state starts based on the fact that the jackpot is won in the special lottery, and ends when the jackpot game of a predetermined number of rounds (number of executions) according to the type of the jackpot symbol is executed. Further, the special game state is started based on the fact that the entry of the game ball into the specific area 64 is detected in the small hit game based on the small hit being won in the special lottery, and the special game state is started in advance according to the type of the small hit symbol. It ends when the specified number of rounds of jackpot games are executed.

Specifically, when the special game state is started based on the winning of the 10 round symbol in the special lottery, the special game state ends when the jackpot game of the 10 rounds of the 1st to 10th rounds is completed. do.

In addition, when the special gaming state is started based on the winning of the 5th round symbol in the special lottery, the special gaming state ends when the jackpot game of the 5 rounds of the 1st to 5th rounds is completed.

In addition, if the special game state is started based on the detection of the entry of the game ball into the specific area 64 in the small hit game based on the winning of the small hit symbol A in the special lottery, the second round. When the jackpot game of the 9th round of the 10th round is completed, the special game state ends.

In addition, if the special game state is started based on the detection of the entry of the game ball into the specific area 64 in the small hit game based on the winning of the small hit symbol B in the special lottery, the second round. -When the jackpot game of the 4th round of the 5th round is completed, the special game state ends.

Then, when the special gaming state based on the winning of the 10-round symbol or the small hit symbol A is completed, the gaming state is shifted to the time-saving state, and the special gaming state based on the winning of the 5-round symbol or the small hit symbol B is changed. When finished, the game state is shifted to the normal state.

The time saving state is started when the special gaming state based on the winning of the 10 round symbol or the small hit symbol A is completed, and it is possible to shift from the time saving state to the special gaming state or the normal state. .. And in the time saving state, the winning probability of the big hit is set to about 1/199 as in the normal state, but the special lottery is made with reference to the big hit lottery table B in which the winning probability of the small hit is set to about 1/7. Is performed, and the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the winning probability per normal is set to about 19/20.

And in the time saving state, the winning probability of normal winning in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, and the period in which the normal character 52 is expanded is as long as 2 seconds. Therefore, it is advantageous for the player in that it is easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 50 than in the normal state. That is, the time saving state is a gaming state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit right.

Further, in the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is often set to be shorter than the normal state, so that the special lottery is executed more frequently than in the normal state. It has become.

Then, the time saving state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed for the second special random number value reaches a predetermined predetermined number of times in the time saving state, and the state is shifted to the normal state. In detail, in the present embodiment, the specified number of times is set to 100 times for the 10-round symbol, the specified number of times is set to 12 times for the small hit symbol A, and the specified number of times is set to 12 times for the 5-round symbol and the small hit symbol B. The specified number of times is set to 0. Then, when the special gaming state ends and the time saving state starts, the gaming state transition control means 250 reaches the specified number of times corresponding to the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol that triggered the start of the finished special gaming state. The corresponding value (for example, 100 or 12) is written to the time saving end determination counter 2932 of the main memory 290. Then, every time a special lottery is performed for the second special random number value in the time saving state, a decrement update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games played once is subtracted from the stored value of the time saving end determination counter 2932. When the storage value of the time saving end determination counter 2932 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the time saving state is terminated and the normal state is started.

The payout control means 270 is a detection signal from the first start winning opening sensor 106, a detection signal from the second starting winning opening sensor 107, a detection signal from the first special winning opening sensor 108, and a second large winning opening sensor 109.

In detail, the payout control means 270 transmits an instruction command for paying out four game balls to the payout device 130 each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects the winning of one game ball. 2 Every time the starting winning opening sensor 107 detects the winning of one game ball, an instruction command for causing the payout device 130 to pay out one game ball is transmitted, and the first large winning opening sensor 108 or the second large is sent. Every time the winning opening sensor 109 detects the winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 sends an instruction command to pay out nine game balls, and the first general winning opening sensor 111 sends one game ball. Each time the winning is detected, an instruction command is transmitted to the payout device 130 to pay out four game balls, and the second general winning opening sensor 112 (the second general winning opening 47-2 and the third general winning opening 47) is transmitted. Every time (corresponding to -3) detects the winning of one game ball, an instruction command for paying out seven game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the third general winning opening sensor 113 (fourth general winning) is sent. Each time (corresponding to mouth 47-4) detects the winning of one game ball, an instruction command for paying out three game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted.

The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the number of game balls to be paid out as instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank for storing game balls, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor to control the number of game balls as instructed. Pay out from the game ball tank. Further, the payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates every time one game ball is paid out, and the payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on the payout signal from the payout sensor 116. It is possible to manage the number of game balls issued.

The communication control means 280 controls to transmit various commands generated according to various calculation results on the main board 100 to the sub board 102. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Communication connection is made so that information cannot be transmitted.

Further, the communication control means 280 (external signal output means) is individually connected to the hall computer 140, which is a computer for centrally managing the game machines installed in the game hall, and the game machines, and provides information on the game history of the game machines. A process of controlling the output state of an external signal (specific signal) output to the external device 144 such as the data counter 142 to be displayed is performed. Specifically, the communication control means 280 outputs a symbol display signal indicating to the hall computer 140 or the data counter 142 that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is in the variable display or the stop display. A special gaming signal that controls the state between the on state (first state) and the off state (second state), and notifies that the special gaming state is set each time the special gaming state is set. It controls the output state between the on state and the off state.

Then, each time the symbol display signal is output, the hall computer 140 and the data counter 142 update and display the number of games indicating the number of special lottery in the game machine, and each time the special game signal is output. , The hall computer 140 and the data counter 142 update and display the number of jackpots indicating the number of times set in the special gaming state in the gaming machine.

Subsequently, the sub-board 102 will be described. The sub-board 102 includes an effect control means 300 and a sub-memory 310.

The effect control means 300 displays the effect based on various commands transmitted from the main board 100, input signals from the effect button switch 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub memory 310. The device 170 is controlled to turn on or blink the front frame lamp 12, the display frame lamp 38, and the right-handed lamp 70, the liquid crystal display 32 is displayed with the effect image, and the sound device 172 is controlled to produce the effect sound from the speaker 14. By controlling the effect device 176, such as outputting the output device or driving the effect object drive device 174 to operate the effect object, the effect device 176 can be used to liven up the game or assist the game. To execute.

In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large amount of effect image data such as moving image data (animation data) and still image data for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect control means 300 stores these. Based on the effect image data, an image is drawn in the frame buffer 3114 of the sub memory 310 every frame (1/30 second), and the drawn image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, so that the effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. Is displayed.

Then, the effect control means 300 performs a state effect process, a special lottery effect process, a hold display effect process, and the like as processes for causing the effect device 176 to execute the effect.

In the state effect processing, the effect control means 300 operates a character image on the liquid crystal display 32 or displays a background image according to the current game state based on a command according to the game state or the value of the counter on the main board 100. By changing or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14, an effect suggesting the current game state to the player is executed.

For example, when the current gaming state is the special gaming state, the effect control means 300 indicates to the liquid crystal display 32 that the current gaming state is the special gaming state, and the jackpot game of the number of rounds is displayed. A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether or not the game is being executed is displayed, and when the current game state is in the time-saving state, the liquid crystal display 32 indicates that the current game state is in the time-saving state. Display the status image.

Further, the effect control means 300 turns on the right-handed lamp 70 during execution of the big hit game or the small hit game, or when the game state is the time saving state, and when the big hit game, the small hit game or the time saving state is completed, the right side. Turn off the striking lamp 70.

In the special lottery effect processing, when the effect determination process is performed on the main board 100, the effect control means 300 performs an effect lottery to tentatively determine the effect content of the special lottery effect based on the command according to the pre-determination result. When the special lottery is performed on the main board 100, the effect lottery for finally determining the effect content of the special lottery effect is performed based on the command according to the result of the special lottery. Then, specially to match the variable display and stop display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76, or to match the variable display and stop display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80. The effect device 176 is made to execute the lottery effect.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect processing, as shown in FIG. 13A, the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the front side of the background image. The left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed on the screen. Here, each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 has a number portion (identification portion) in which any one of a plurality of predetermined types of numbers is shown, and the surroundings of the number portion. It contains a decorative part that decorates the number part, such as a rectangular part.

Then, each time the effect control means 300 reads out the first special random number value from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the first special symbol display unit 76 starts the variable display of the first special symbol. Or, every time the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, with the start of the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80, FIG. 13 As shown in (B), after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a variable manner, a big hit or a small hit is won in the big hit determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery. Left effect symbol 350, middle effect symbol 352 and right in the mode depending on whether or not, and if the big hit or small hit is won, in the mode according to the big hit symbol or small hit symbol determined by the symbol determination process. The effect symbol 354 is stopped and displayed, and the background image is changed on the liquid crystal display 32 or the effect video in which the character image operates is reproduced and displayed in a mode corresponding to each of the plurality of types of effect patterns. A special lottery effect according to the type of pattern is executed on the liquid crystal display 32. The downward arrow in the figure indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being displayed in a variable manner at high speed.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 uses the command according to the pre-determination result or the command according to the result of the special lottery as a random value for the effect lottery based on the input from the main board 100. , A plurality of types of random values such as a first effect pattern determination random value and a second effect pattern determination random value are acquired, and a first effect pattern determination process, a second effect pattern determination process, and the like are performed as an effect lottery.

In the first effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns is used as the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half portion of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one first effect pattern determination random value. Is the process of determining. Then, in the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any of a plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310 to perform the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the first half variation pattern determined in the first variation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the case where the result of the first variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 7, the effect lottery table storage means 3112 is the first. Seven types of first effect pattern lottery tables of the effect pattern lottery table A to the first effect pattern lottery table G are stored (not shown). Then, in each first effect pattern lottery table, one of a plurality of types of first half effect patterns is associated with each of the 100 first effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99 as a plurality of types of first half effect patterns. ing. Then, when the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 2. If this is the case, the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and so on, the first effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined by the first variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first effect pattern lottery table and determines which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns the one first effect pattern determination random value is associated with. One first half effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half effect patterns.

In the second effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of second half effect patterns is used as the second half effect pattern corresponding to the second half portion of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one second effect pattern determination random value. Is the process of determining. Then, in the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any of a plurality of types of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310 to perform the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the latter half variation pattern determined in the second variation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it corresponds to the case where the result of the second variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the reachless variation pattern 1 to the reachless variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5. The effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables A to the second effect pattern lottery table H (not shown). Then, in each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of the 100 second effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effects are used as a plurality of types of second half effect patterns. One of the patterns is associated. Then, when the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern. If it is 1, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and so on, the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the latter half variation pattern determined by the second variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected second effect pattern lottery table, and one second effect pattern determination random value is associated with either a plurality of types of reachless effect patterns or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns. By determining whether or not the pattern is present, one non-reach effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of reachless effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

Here, the effect time is set for each of the plurality of types of the first half effect patterns, and the effect time of the first half effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table A is the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1. The effect time of the first half effect pattern, which is set to the same 1 second and can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table B, is set to 2 seconds, which is the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern 2, and so on. The effect time of the first half effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first effect pattern lottery table.

Further, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of non-reach production patterns and the plurality of types of reach production patterns, and the production time of the plurality of types of non-reach production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table A is , Both are set to 1 second, which is the same as the fluctuation time of the non-reach variation pattern 1, and the effect time of a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by the second effect pattern lottery table D is the variation of the reach variation pattern 1. The production time of a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by each second effect pattern lottery table, such as being set to 10 seconds, which is the same as the time, is each second effect pattern lottery. It is set to be the same as the variation time of the non-reach variation pattern or the reach variation pattern corresponding to the table.

Then, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. The total production time is the total production time according to the first half effect pattern determined in the first effect pattern determination process and the second half effect pattern determined in the second effect pattern determination process. Perform a special lottery effect. As a result, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is synchronized with the production time of the special lottery effect.

For example, if a big hit or a small hit is not won in the big hit determination process and a reachless effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80, the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 starts as shown in FIG. 13 (B). Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (C), first, the left effect symbol 350 is tentatively shaken slightly without being completely stopped in any mode (the mode showing "5" in FIG. 13 (C)). After that, as shown in FIG. 13D, the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from that of the left effect symbol 350.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (E), the middle effect symbol 352 is displayed before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed. Temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 (disjoint mode), and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped. As shown in FIG. 13 (F), the middle effect symbol 352 is completely stopped in a mode different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 (disappearance mode) at almost the same timing as being displayed. Confirmed stop is displayed.

Further, for example, when a big hit or a small hit is won in the big hit determination process, or when a big hit or a small hit is not won in the big hit determination process and the reach effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process. With the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80, as shown in FIG. 14 (A), the left effect symbol The variable display of 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 14 (B), the left effect symbol 350 is first temporarily stopped and then displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (C). , While the middle effect symbol 352 is variablely displayed, the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left effect symbol 350. Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the reproduction display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit 80 in the first special symbol display unit 76 is started. The reproduction display of the production moving image is completed within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 14D, when the production video in which the character A fights with the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the production video is reproduced and displayed. Instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, in the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduction corresponding to the left effect symbol 350. The left effect symbol 360, the reduced effect symbol 362 corresponding to the middle effect symbol 352, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 corresponding to the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode), while the reduced effect symbol 362 is displayed in a variable manner.

If a big hit or a small hit is won, as shown in FIG. 14 (E), a production video in which the character A wins the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced left effect symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (hit mode) as the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364, so that a big hit or a small hit can be obtained. The player will be tentatively notified that he has won.

Then, the effect video in which the character A wins the character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 14 (F), the left effect symbol 350 and the middle effect symbol 352 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. And after the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (G), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. At the same time, the speaker 14 outputs a sound effect for notifying the player that the big hit or the small hit has been won, so that the player is deterministically notified that the big hit or the small hit has been won.

On the other hand, when the big hit or the small hit is not won, as shown in FIG. 14 (H), the production video in which the character A is defeated by the character B is played in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. At the same time, in the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced left effect symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 (reach loss mode), so that a big hit or a small hit can be obtained. The player is tentatively notified that he has not won.

Then, the moving image in which the character A is defeated by the character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 14 (I), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the middle effect symbol 352 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (J), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. As a result, the player is definitively notified that the big hit or the small hit has not been won.

Here, in the special lottery production process, a common production video may be played and displayed both when the big hit or small hit is won and when the big hit or small hit is not won, so that the common production video is displayed. When it is reproduced and displayed, the player's expectation for winning a big hit or a small hit can be greatly increased.

Then, in the present embodiment, for each of the plurality of types of effects, the degree of expectation of winning a big hit or a small hit is predetermined as the degree of possibility that a big hit or a small hit will be won in a special lottery when each effect is executed. The big hit or small hit is won in the special lottery so that the production with high expectation is more likely to be executed when the big hit or small hit is won in the special lottery than the production with low expectation. In each of the effect lottery table referred to in the case of the above and the effect lottery table referred to when the big hit or the small hit is not won in the special lottery, the selection rate of each of a plurality of types of effects is set.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 by the effect pattern according to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 71. By displaying the display, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are tentatively displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery, while increasing the player's expectation that the big hit or the small hit will be won. The result of the special lottery is notified to the player by displaying the stop display and then the confirmed stop display.

In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is held in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290 based on the command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image showing the status of the 1st special random number value or the 2nd special random number value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

Further, in the present embodiment, one of the reserved displays is corresponding to the special reserved storage area of the special random number storage means 2914 in the left area of the first reserved display area 411 in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. An area 430 is provided, and when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the special reserved storage area, the first reserved image is stored in the reserved display area 430. 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the special reserved storage area, the second reserved image 422 is displayed.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 15A, when the first special reserved random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the first special reserved random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area. As shown in FIG. 15C, the effect control means 300 moves the first reserved image 420 displayed in the first reserved display area 411 to the reserved display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350, middle. The variable display of the effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is held by one smaller order than the original hold display area. Performs display control to move to the display area. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the first hold displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (D), when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed and the result of this special lottery is displayed, they are stored in the special hold storage area. As the first special random number value is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. Then, when the first special random number value is further read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300 is not shown, but the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430, and variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and is displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area having an ordinal number one smaller.

Further, although not shown, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special random number value are held in a state where a plurality of second special random number values are reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. When the special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, the effect control means 300 displays the second reserved image 422 displayed in the first reserved display area 411. While moving to the hold display area 430, the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the second hold image displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is displayed. Display control is performed to move the 422 from the original hold display area to the hold display area having one smaller ordinal number. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the second hold displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Further, the effect control means 300 obtains the first special random number value or the second special random number value and then the first special random number value according to the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value. Alternatively, for the second special random number value, the first special random number value is obtained until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, or after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired. Alternatively, the pre-reading effect is produced for the first special random number value or the second special random number value acquired immediately before the second special random number value until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed. To execute. In the present embodiment, as the look-ahead effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value determined to execute the look-ahead effect is used. Change it, display an effect image around the first hold image 420 or the second hold image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image that is different from the normal background image. Or something.

Here, the effect control means 300 reaches when the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value is determined to be a big hit or a small hit, or is lost. Only when the special lottery effect is performed in the effect pattern, the look-ahead effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, in each of the variable group lottery table A to the variable group lottery table D shown in FIG. 7, 90 variable groups of 0 to 89 out of 0 to 99 variable group determined random values are used. Each of the determined random numbers is associated with any of groups 0 to 3 excluding group 4 and group 5, and each of the eight variable group determined random values 90 to 97 is a group. 4 is associated with each other, and group 5 is associated with each of the two variable group determined random values of 98 to 99. Therefore, when the variable group determined random value is any of 0 to 89. There are cases where the non-reach variation pattern is determined and cases where the reach variation pattern is determined according to the number of holdings or the game state, and the variation group determination random value is any one of 90 to 99. In, the reach fluctuation pattern is always determined regardless of the number of holdings or the gaming state, and the non-reach fluctuation pattern is not determined.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the special lottery means 230 is lost in the preliminary determination process, the variable group determination random number value included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value is 0 to 89. If it is any of the above, indefinite value information indicating that it is uncertain that the reach variation pattern is determined is set as the preliminary determination result, and if it is any of 90 to 99, the reach variation pattern is set. Fixed value information indicating that it is always determined is set as a preliminary judgment result.

Then, when the pre-determination result is determined to be a big hit or a small hit, the effect control means 300 determines the pre-reading effect lottery for determining whether or not the pre-reading effect can be executed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value. However, if the result is lost, it is determined whether or not the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information, and if the fixed value information is included, a look-ahead effect lottery is performed. I am doing it.

As a result, in the present embodiment, at the time when the pre-determination process is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value and the time when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random number value or the second special random number value. , Even if the number of holdings has changed, even if a big hit or a small hit is decided when a special lottery is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is decided. , Even if it is lost, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

When the effect control means 300 determines to execute the pre-reading effect in the pre-reading effect lottery for the first special random number value, the special reserved storage area and the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 The pre-judgment result is a big hit or a small in the first special random number value that is reserved in the above and is acquired before the first special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined. Start of look-ahead effect when the first special random number value for which the hit is determined or the first special random number value for which the pre-judgment result is lost but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information does not exist. The look-ahead effect is started assuming that the conditions are met.

Further, when it is decided to execute the look-ahead effect for the second special random number value in the look-ahead effect lottery, it is reserved in the special hold storage area and the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4. The pre-judgment result is determined to be a big hit or a small hit in the second special random number value that is the second special random number value and is acquired before the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined. When the second special random number value, which is a thing, or the second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is lost but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information does not exist, the start condition of the look-ahead effect is satisfied. Assuming that there is, the look-ahead production is started.

As a result, in the present embodiment, at the time when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the first special random number value or the second special random number value already held is a big hit or a small hit. If the winning of is confirmed, if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, or if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, the confirmed jackpot Alternatively, the look-ahead effect is started after the special game state executed by the small hit is completed, or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that is executed or is confirmed to be executed is completed. Can be done.

3. 3. Control method of the present embodiment The control method of the present embodiment will be described in detail below. In the present embodiment, A mode (first effect state), B mode (second effect state), and C mode are prepared as three types of effect modes (effect states) in which the contents of the effect are different, and a predetermined period is provided. In the above, the effect button 26 shown in FIG. 1 can be operated by the player to change the effect mode during the stay (transition is possible).

In the present embodiment, the A mode is an effect mode in which the character A is the main component, and when, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode. A special lottery for the reach effect pattern of 13.5 seconds to 50 seconds corresponding to the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5, such as the reproduction display of the effect video in which the characters fight each other while the medium effect pattern 352 is variablely displayed. It is a production mode in which the result of the special lottery may be notified by performing the production.

Further, the B mode is an effect mode in which the character B is the main component, and although a special lottery effect of the reach effect pattern of 13.5 seconds corresponding to the reach variation pattern 1 may be performed, the reach is performed like the A mode. The special lottery effect of the reach effect pattern for a relatively long time of 20 seconds to 50 seconds corresponding to the variation pattern 2 to the reach variation pattern 5 is not performed, and the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a variable manner. Then, the pseudo-variable effect for 3.5 seconds, which is temporarily stopped and displayed in the order of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354, becomes an effect mode in which one special lottery effect is performed multiple times. ing. That is, the B mode is an effect mode in which the pseudo-variation effect for 3.5 seconds is repeated at a tempo in which the three reels of the pachi-slot machine repeatedly rotate and stop.

Further, the C mode is an effect mode in which the character C is the main component, and like the B mode, a special lottery effect of the reach effect pattern of 13.5 seconds corresponding to the reach variation pattern 1 may be performed. Unlike the A mode, the special lottery effect of the reach effect pattern for a relatively long time of 20 to 50 seconds corresponding to the reach variation pattern 2 to the reach variation pattern 5 is not performed, but unlike the B mode, 3.5. When the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode instead of repeating the pseudo-variation effect for a second, the liquid crystal display 32 (effect display means) keeps the middle effect symbol 352 variable and displayed. ) May display an operation instruction image urging the user to press the effect button 26. If the effect button 26 is pressed within a predetermined period, the result of the special lottery is obtained according to the press of the effect button 26. Is in the production mode to be notified.

In each of the A mode, the B mode, and the C mode, the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354, the reduced left effect symbol 360, and the reduced effect symbol 362 are used. And various effects displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, such as the reduced right effect symbol 364, the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414, the first reserved image 420, the second reserved image 422, and the reserved display area 430. The appearance of the image is different, and the sound, music, and sound effect output from the speaker 14 (sound output means) are also different.

In particular, in the present embodiment, as the voice output at a predetermined trigger, the dialogue of the character A is output by the voice of the character A in the A mode, the dialogue of the character B is output by the voice of the character B in the B mode, and the dialogue of the character B is output by the voice of the character B in the C mode. Then, the dialogue of the character C is output by the voice of the character C.

This makes the player feel as if he / she is playing a game with different gaming machines in each of the A mode, the B mode, and the C mode, even though the gaming machine is one in the present embodiment. ing.

16 to 20 are diagrams showing audio data to be reproduced at various triggers. First, FIG. 16A shows a case where the administrator of the gaming machine or the like operates a RAM clear switch provided inside the gaming machine to clear the RAM that clears the storage state of the main memory 290 to the initial state. It is a figure which shows the type of the audio data at the time of clearing RAM output to. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16A, the RAM clearing voice 1 to the RAM clearing voice 6 are stored in the effect data storage means 3110 as the voice data at the time of RAM clearing.

The RAM clearing voice 1 is voice data in which the dialogue 1 of the character E at the time of RAM clear is output by the voice of the character E, and the RAM clearing voice 2 is the dialogue 2 of the character F at the time of RAM clearing. Is the voice data output by the voice of the character F, and so on, the voice at the time of clearing each RAM is the voice data in which different dialogues are output by the voice of each character for each voice data.

For example, the RAM clear voice 1 is voice data in which the line "Oops! Memory has been cleared!" Is output as the character E voice as the character E line 1 when the RAM is cleared. The RAM clear voice 2 is voice data in which the line "Cleared memory" is output as the character F voice as the character F line 2 when the RAM is cleared.

Then, each time the RAM is cleared, the voice data of any one of the RAM clear voice 1 to the RAM clear voice 6 is cyclically generated from the RAM clear voice 1 regardless of the effect mode during the stay. Selected and played.

Further, in FIG. 16B, the customer waiting state before the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed and displayed for the first time after the power is turned on to the gaming machine, or the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed. It is a figure which shows the type of voice data at the time of handle detection which is output when the detection of the handle sensor which detects the contact or operation of a player with respect to a handle 20 is started in the customer waiting state after the stop display is displayed. In the present embodiment, when the detection of the handle sensor is started in the customer waiting state, the setting suggestion effect suggesting the set value may be performed.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16B, the voice data at the time of handle detection is as high as the voice at handle detection 1 to the voice at handle detection 5 corresponding to the voice data at the time of handle detection without suggesting the setting value. Handle detection corresponding to handle detection voice 6 to handle detection voice 15 corresponding to setting suggestion 1 with a slightly high expectation for which a value is set, and handle detection corresponding to setting suggestion 2 with a high expectation for which a high setting value is set The hour voice 16 to the handle detection voice 19 are stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

The handle detection voice 1 is voice data in which the line 1 of the character A at the time of handle detection is output by the voice of the character A, and the handle detection voice 2 is the line 2 of the character B at the time of handle detection. Is the voice data output by the voice of the character B, and so on, the voice at the time of each handle detection is the voice data in which different dialogues are output by the voice of each character for each voice data.

Then, when the number of times the handle sensor detection is started in the customer waiting state after the power is turned on to the gaming machine is the second time or later, when the handle sensor detection is started, the setting is not suggested. The voice data of any one of the voice 1 when the steering wheel is detected to the voice 5 when the steering wheel is detected is selected and played by lottery regardless of the effect mode during the stay.

In addition, if the number of times the handle sensor detection is started in the customer waiting state after the power is turned on to the game machine is the first time, when the handle sensor detection is started, the corresponding handle without setting suggestion. Of the detection voice 1 to the handle detection voice 5, the handle detection voice 6 to the handle detection voice 15 corresponding to the setting suggestion 1, or the handle detection voice 16 to the handle detection voice 19 corresponding to the setting suggestion 2. Any one of the audio data is selected and played by lottery according to the set value regardless of the effect mode during the stay.

Further, FIG. 17A is a diagram showing the types of voice data at the time of mode selection, which are output when the player performs an operation of selecting the effect mode during the stay. In the present embodiment, when the operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed in a predetermined period, the mode selection image for selecting the effect mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the mode selection image is displayed. When the operation of rotating the effect button 26 is performed, the selected effect mode is switched, and when the operation of pressing the effect button 26 while the mode selection image is displayed is performed, the selected effect mode is staying. It is decided as the production mode of.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, the audio data at the time of mode switching 1 and the audio at the time of mode switching 1 are output when the selected effect mode is switched as the audio data at the time of mode selection. The audio data of mode switching 2 that is output after the data is output and the audio data at the time of mode determination that is output when the selected effect mode is determined as the effect mode during stay are the effect data storage means 3110. Is remembered in.

Specifically, the mode switching audio a1 to the mode switching audio c1 corresponding to each effect mode is used as the audio data of the mode switching 1, and the mode corresponding to each effect mode is used as the mode switching 2 audio data. The switching sound a2 to the mode switching sound c2 are stored in the effect data storage means 3110, and the mode determination sound a to the mode determination sound c corresponding to each effect mode are stored as audio data at the time of mode determination. There is.

The mode switching voice a1 is voice data in which the dialogue a1 of the character A of the mode switching 1 is output by the voice of the character A, and the mode switching voice b1 is the voice data of the character B of the mode switching 1. The dialogue b1 is the voice data output by the voice of the character B, and so that the voice at the time of switching each mode and the voice at the time of determining each mode are output with different dialogues for each voice data in the voice of each character. It is voice data.

Then, in the state where the mode selection image is displayed, each time the selected effect mode is switched, one of the mode switching sound a1 to the mode switching sound c1 corresponding to the selected effect mode after switching. The audio data is selected and reproduced, and then one audio data corresponding to the selected effect mode after switching is selected and reproduced from the mode switching audio a2 to the mode switching audio c2.

Further, in the state where the mode selection image is displayed, when the selected effect mode is determined as the effect mode during stay, the determined effect mode is selected from the mode determination sound a to the mode determination sound c. One corresponding audio data is selected and played.

Further, FIG. 17B shows the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the special lottery effect. It is a figure which shows the kind of audio data at the time of a reversal effect which is output when the reversal effect which changes the display mode changes to the mode which shows the advantageous result to a player. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17B, as the voice data at the time of the reversal effect, the voice data set with a low expectation that the result is advantageous to the player and the result advantageous to the player are obtained. The audio data set with a high degree of expectation is stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

In detail, as the audio data set with a low expectation that the result is advantageous to the player, the weak cut-in audio a to the weak cut-in audio c corresponding to each production mode are also advantageous to the player. As the audio data set with a high degree of expectation, the strong cut-in audio a1 to the strong cut-in audio c4 corresponding to each effect mode are stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

The weak cut-in voice a is voice data in which the dialogue a of the character A at the time of the reversal production is output by the voice of the character A, and the weak cut-in voice b is the dialogue b of the character B at the time of the reversal production. Is the voice data output by the voice of character B, and so on, each weak cut-in voice and each strong cut-in voice are voice data in which different lines are output by each character's voice for each voice data. It has become.

Then, when a reversal effect with a low expectation is performed according to the result of the special lottery, one audio data corresponding to the effect mode during the stay is selected from the weak cut-in voice a to the weak cut-in voice c. Be played.

Further, when the reversal effect having a high expectation is performed according to the result of the special lottery and the effect mode during the stay is the A mode, the strong cut-in voice a1 to the strong cut-in voice a4 When one voice data is selected and played by lottery and the effect mode during stay is B mode, one voice data from strong cut-in voice b1 to strong cut-in voice b4 is selected by lottery. When the effect mode during the stay is C mode, one of the strong cut-in audio c1 to the strong cut-in audio c4 is selected and reproduced by lottery.

Further, FIG. 18A is a diagram showing the type of voice data at the time of right-handed hitting, which is output when the right-handed hitting effect for notifying that right-handed hitting should be performed is performed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), as the voice data at the time of right-handed hit, the voice data output at the time of the specific symbol jackpot, which is the case where the jackpot is won and the 10-round symbol which is the specific symbol is determined. And, when the small hit is won and the small hit symbol A which is a specific symbol is determined, the voice data output at the time of the specific symbol small hit and when the big hit is won and the 5 round symbol which is a normal symbol is determined. The voice data output at the time of the normal symbol big hit, the voice data output at the time of the normal symbol small hit when the small hit is won and the small hit symbol B which is the normal symbol is determined, and the player right-handed. The voice data output at the time of re-notification, which is the case where it is detected that the player is not hitting right in the state where the above is to be performed, is stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

In detail, the right-handed voice a1 to the right-handed voice c1 corresponding to each effect mode correspond to each effect mode as the voice data at the time of the specific symbol big hit, and the voice data at the time of the specific symbol small hit correspond to each effect mode. Right-handed voice a2 to right-handed voice c2, and right-handed voice f1 common to each production mode as voice data at the time of normal symbol big hit and voice data at the time of re-notification, and normal symbol small hit. As the time voice data, the right-handed sound f2 common to each effect mode is stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

Here, the right-handed voice a1 to right-handed voice c1 which is the voice data at the time of the specific symbol big hit and the right-handed voice f1 which is the voice data at the time of the normal symbol big hit and the re-notification are, for example, "right-handed". It is a voice data that simply informs you that you should hit right, such as "Please", but it is a voice data for a specific symbol small hit, right-handed voice a2 to right-handed voice c2, and a normal symbol. The right-handed voice f2, which is the voice data at the time of a small hit, is the voice data for notifying that the game ball should hit right so as to enter the specific area 64, for example, "Aim for V!". ing.

The right-handed voice a1 is voice data in which the dialogue a1 of the character A at the time of the specific symbol jackpot is output by the voice of the character A, and the right-handed voice b1 is the voice data of the character B at the time of the specific symbol jackpot. The dialogue b1 is the voice data output by the voice of the character B, and the right-handed voice f1 is the voice data in which the dialogue f1 of the character F at the time of the normal symbol jackpot and the re-notification is output by the voice of the character F. The right-handed voice f2 is the voice data in which the character F's dialogue f2 at the time of a normal symbol small hit is output by the character F's voice. Different dialogues for each voice data are voice data output by each character's voice.

Then, when the right-handed effect is performed, at the time of a specific symbol jackpot, one of the right-handed sound a1 to the right-handed sound c1 corresponding to the effect mode during stay is selected and played. , At the time of a specific symbol small hit, one voice data corresponding to the effect mode during stay is selected and played from the right-handed voice a2 to the right-handed voice c2, and at the time of normal symbol big hit or re-notification. , The right-handed voice f1 is selected and played regardless of the effect mode during stay, and in the normal symbol small hit, the right-handed voice f2 is selected and played regardless of the effect mode during stay.

As described above, in the present embodiment, at the time of the specific symbol big hit or the specific symbol small hit, many game balls can be acquired in the big hit game, and after the end of the special game state, the time is shortened. In the time effect, the right-handed sound corresponding to each effect mode is output, and in the normal symbol big hit or the normal symbol small hit, more game balls are acquired in the big hit game than in the case where the specific symbol is decided. Since it is not possible to shift to the time saving state after the end of the special game state, the right-handed sound is output depending on the situation, such that the right-handed sound common to each production mode is output in the right-handed effect. It is designed to be output in an appropriate manner.

Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display is used regardless of whether the right-handed sound corresponding to the effect mode during the stay is output or the right-handed sound common to each effect mode is output. In 32, as an image common to each effect mode, a right-handed instruction image (specific display) instructing right-handed, for example, "Please hit right" is displayed regardless of the effect mode during the stay, and each of them is displayed. As the lighting of the lamp common to the effect mode, the right-handed lamp 70 is lit (specific display) regardless of the effect mode during the stay.

Thereby, in the present embodiment, even if the dialogue of each character is output by the voice of each character as the voice when hitting right, it is possible to inform the player that the right-handed stroke should be performed in an easy-to-understand manner.

Further, FIG. 18B is a diagram showing the types of voice data at the time of V winning, which is output when the V winning effect for notifying that the game ball has entered the specific area 64 is performed in the small hit game. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18 (B), as the voice data at the time of winning V, the small hit symbol A, which is a specific symbol, is determined by winning the small hit in the special lottery for the first special random number value. At the time of the first hit of the normal symbol, which is the case where the voice data output at the time of the first hit of the specific symbol and the small hit symbol B which is the normal symbol are determined by winning the small hit in the special lottery for the first special random number value. The output voice data and the small hit symbol A, which is a specific symbol, or the small hit symbol B, which is a normal symbol, are determined in the special lottery for the second special random number value. The voice data to be generated is stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

In detail, the V winning voice f1 common to each effect mode is used as the voice data at the time of the first hit of the specific symbol and the voice data at the time of the first hit of the normal symbol, and the voice data at the time of continuous hit is set to each effect mode. The common V winning voice f2 is stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

The voice f1 at the time of V winning is voice data in which the dialogue 1 of the character F at the time of V winning is output by the voice of the character F, and the voice f2 at the time of V winning is the dialogue 2 of the character F at the time of V winning. Is the voice data output by the voice of the character F, and so on, the voice at the time of each V winning is the voice data in which different lines are output by the voice of the character F.

Then, when the V winning effect is performed, the V winning voice f1 is selected and played at the time of the first hit of the specific symbol or the normal symbol first hit, and the V winning voice f2 is selected at the time of continuous winning. Is played.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the V winning effect is performed, the setting suggestion effect suggesting the set value may be performed by lottery, and as shown in FIG. 18B, the specific symbol is used. As the setting suggestion voice data output after the V winning voice f1 at the time of the first hit, the setting suggestion voice a1 to the setting suggestion voice c1 corresponding to the setting suggestion 1 in which a high setting value is set and the expectation is slightly high are set. , Corresponds to the setting suggestion voice a2 to the setting suggestion voice c2 corresponding to the setting suggestion 2 having the next highest expectation with a high setting value, and the setting suggestion 3 with the highest expectation with a high setting value set. The setting suggestion voice a3 to the setting suggestion voice c3 are stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

Further, as the setting suggestion voice data output after the V winning voice f2 at the time of continuous hit, the setting suggestion voice a4 to the setting suggestion voice corresponding to the setting suggestion 4 having a slightly high expectation that a high setting value is set is set. The setting suggestion voice a5 to the setting suggestion voice c5 corresponding to c4 and the setting suggestion 5 having the next highest expectation with a high setting value, and the setting suggestion 6 with the highest expectation with a high setting value set. The setting suggestion voice a6 to the setting suggestion voice c6 corresponding to the above are stored in the effect data storage means 3110.

In this embodiment, since the setting suggestion effect is not performed at the time of the first hit of the normal symbol, the setting suggestion sound output after the V winning sound f1 at the time of the first hit of the normal symbol is the effect data storage means 3110. Not remembered in.

Then, when the setting suggestion effect is performed when the V winning effect is performed, at the time of the first hit of the specific symbol, any one of the setting suggestion 1 to the setting suggestion 3 is determined by lottery according to the set value and set. When suggestion 1 is determined, one voice data corresponding to the effect mode during the stay is selected and played from the setting suggestion voice a1 to the setting suggestion voice c1, and the setting suggestion 2 is determined. Is to select and play one voice data corresponding to the effect mode during the stay from the setting suggestion voice a2 to the setting suggestion voice c2, and when the setting suggestion 3 is determined, the setting suggestion voice a3 to the setting Of the suggested voices c3, one voice data corresponding to the effect mode during the stay is selected and played.
