Description

従来、可変表示が開始されてから終了するまでにおける複数のパート（たとえば、導入パート、当否決定パート、エピローグパートなど）を設け、遊技者の興趣を高める遊技機が知られている（特許文献１）。また、大当り図柄のうち、非確変図柄（通常大当り図柄）で仮停止した後に大当り図柄が再変動し、その後に非確変図柄または確変図柄が停止するような再抽選演出を実行する遊技機が知られている（特許文献２）。Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine that provides multiple parts (such as an introduction part, a winning/losing decision part, an epilogue part, etc.) from the start to the end of the variable display to enhance the player's interest (Patent Document 1). Also, there is known a gaming machine that executes a re-lottery performance in which the winning symbol temporarily stops on a non-variable symbol (normal winning symbol), and then the winning symbol changes again, and then the non-variable symbol or the variable symbol stops (Patent Document 2).

an image processing means (e.g., a display control unit 123 and an SDRAM 210) having a plurality of display layers (e.g., a layer 1 image drawing area, a layer 2 image drawing area, a layer 3 image drawing area, a displacement image creation area, a display image creation area, etc., as shown in FIG. 289-5) in which images based on the image data can be arranged, and capable of generating an image to be displayed in the display area by superimposing and synthesizing each image arranged in the plurality of display layers;
A performance execution means capable of executing a performance;
Equipped with
The performance execution means is capable of executing a performance in which the specific image is displayed in the display area (for example, a part in which the performance control CPU 120 executes the variable display performance process shown in FIG. 289-17 ),
The special state includes a special state after an advantageous state that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state ends, and a special state after a specific number of times is reached that is controlled on the condition that a specific number of variable displays have been executed,
a degree of advantage is higher when the advantageous state is controlled based on the variable display of the second identification information than when the advantageous state is controlled based on the variable display of the first identification information;
The storage means is capable of storing display position displacement information for displacing the display position of at least a part of the specific image in the display area from a first position (e.g., in the case of the feature portion 006SG, the center of the display area of the image display device 5) to a second position different from the first position (e.g., in the case of the feature portion 006SG, an upper position or a lower position of the display area of the image display device 5) (e.g., a portion in which data of an image for displacement is stored in the CGROM 205),
The image processing means is capable of generating a displaced specific image by displacing the specific image arranged on the specific display layer based on the image data based on the display position displacement information (for example, as shown in FIG. 289-23, a portion for generating a displacement target image by superimposing a decorative pattern drawn in a layer 2 image drawing area and a background image drawn in a layer 3 image drawing area, and applying a displacement image to the displacement target image to generate an image in which the images in the left area 006SG005L and the right area 006SG005R are moved upward and the image in the middle area 006SG005C is moved downward as a display image to be displayed on the image display device 5 during a development suggestion performance).
The performance execution means includes:
A specific effect (for example, a development suggestion effect in the feature portion 006SG) is executed to display the displacement specific image generated by the image processing means in the display area during variable display,
a warning notification is executed in the variable display of the first identification information in which the start condition is satisfied during the special state after the specific number of times is reached;

The display image of the game-related information is arranged on a special display layer in which the arranged image is preferentially displayed in the display area rather than the specific display layer (for example, as shown in FIG. 289-26, the first interface image 006SG005I and the second interface image 006SG005J are drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area, which has the highest image display priority),
It is characterized by:
According to such a configuration, in the special state after the specific number of times is reached in which the start condition of the second identification information is likely to be satisfied, a warning notification is issued about the variable display of the first identification information, which is less advantageous than the second identification information, thereby preventing the player from suffering any disadvantage. Furthermore, for the variable display of the first identification information in which the start condition is unavoidably satisfied in the non-special state before control to the special state after the specific number of times is reached, a warning notification is not issued so as to prevent the player from being offended. In addition, a displaced specific image in which at least a part of the specific image displayed in a predetermined performance is displaced can be generated from the image data of the specific image and the display position displacement information and displayed in the specific performance. Therefore, the specific performance can be executed with a smaller amount of data compared to the case in which the image data of these displaced specific images are stored exclusively. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the display image of the game-related information from being displaced due to the displacement of the specific image during execution of the specific performance, which would reduce the visibility of the display image of the game-related information, thereby improving the marketability of the gaming machine.
