Description

The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine that can be controlled in an advantageous state for a player.

As a gaming machine, game balls, which are game media, are shot into a game area by a shooting device, and when the game balls enter a prize winning area such as a prize winning opening provided in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player. There is something that can be done. Furthermore, a variable display area is provided in which the identification information can be variably displayed (also referred to as “variation”), and when the display result of the variable display of the identification information in the variable display area is a specific display result, the game state (game There is a so-called pachinko machine configured to change the state of the machine (ie, more specifically, the state in which the game machine is controlled) to give a predetermined game value to the player.

After setting a predetermined number of bets for one game of predetermined game media, the player operates the start lever to start variable display of the identification information in the variable display area. By operating a stop button provided corresponding to the display area, the variable display of the identification information is stopped within a predetermined maximum delay time from the operation timing, and the variable display of all the variable display areas is stopped. Winning occurs according to the display result derived when the game is stopped, predetermined game media are paid out according to the winning, and when a specific winning occurs, the game state is changed to a predetermined game value by the player. (so-called slot machines).

The game value is defined as the payout of prize balls, the state of the variable winning ball device provided in the game area of the gaming machine, which is advantageous for the player who is likely to hit the ball, or the state which is advantageous to the player. It is to generate the right to be in a state, or to be in a state in which the conditions for paying out prize balls are likely to be established.

In a pachinko machine, a predetermined specific display mode is derived and displayed as a display result of variable display of performance symbols (identification information) that is started in the variable display area based on the winning of a game ball in the starting winning hole. If you do, a "jackpot" will occur. It should be noted that the derivation display means that the symbol (final stop symbol) is finally stopped and displayed. When a big win occurs, for example, the big win opening is opened a predetermined number of times, and the game shifts to a big win game state in which the ball is likely to win. Then, in each open period, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the large winning openings are won, the large winning opening is closed. The number of openings of the big winning opening is fixed to a predetermined number (for example, 15 rounds). An opening time (for example, 29 seconds) is determined for each opening, and even if the number of winnings does not reach a predetermined number, the big winning opening is closed after the opening time has elapsed. Hereinafter, the opening period of each big winning slot may be called a round. Moreover, the game in a round may be called a round game.

Also, in the variable display area, the symbols other than the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol among the left, middle, right symbols) continue for a predetermined period of time and stop and shake in a state that matches a specific display result. Big wins can occur before the final result is displayed due to moving, scaling, or deformation, multiple symbols fluctuating in sync with the same symbol, or the positions of the displayed symbols changing. The production performed in the state where the sexuality is continuing (hereinafter, these states are referred to as the reach state) is called the reach production. In addition, the reach state and its state are referred to as a reach state. Further, the variable display including the reach effect is called the reach variable display. Then, if the display result of the pattern variably displayed in the variable display area is not a specific display result, it becomes "missing" and the variable display state ends. A player plays a game while enjoying how to generate a big hit.

In addition, there is a game machine capable of executing a specific effect (for example, ready-to-win effect) and capable of executing a plurality of types of advance notice effects during execution of the specific effect (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2016-077592 A (Fig. 30) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2021-29436 (Fig. 12-3)

However, in the gaming machine described above, there is room for improvement in the control when a plurality of advance notice effects are performed in combination during execution of the specific effect.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of improving control when a plurality of advance notice effects are performed in combination during execution of a specific effect.

The game machine according to the present invention is
A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state (in this example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to a player,
A specific effect execution means (in this example, a portion that executes step S172, 003IWS813 in the effect control CPU 120) capable of executing a specific effect (SPSP reach effect A in this example),
During execution of the specific effect, character display execution means (in this example, step S172, step S172, 003IWS813) and
During the execution of the specific effect, the display mode of the character information (in this example, the character color of the dialogue, the pattern of the character, the size of the character, the background image of the character (for example, a band image) according to the progress of the specific effect color, pattern, or size) is changed to one of a plurality of display modes (in this example, a first notice effect (in this example, a dialogue mode change stimulating effect and a dialog mode change) and a second notice effect (in this example, one-shot reversal notice effect) which is different from the first notice effect and suggests the degree of expectation for controlling to the advantageous state. Effect execution means (in this example, the part that executes steps 003 IWS 905, S 911, and S 920 in the effect control CPU 120 to perform the dialogue mode change inciting effect and the dialogue mode change notice effect, and the step 003 IWS 913, S 922 Equipped with a part that performs a one-shot reversal notice production) and
As the display mode of the character information, a suggestion mode (in this example, red and gold) suggesting the degree of expectation for controlling to the advantageous state, and a notification mode (in this example, rainbow ) and are provided (see FIG. 9-3 (D)),
The foretelling effect execution means executes the second foretelling effect in such a manner that the character information is difficult to see (in this example, an image including the character display of "one shot reverse" is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5). It is possible to execute a one-shot reversal notice effect that displays ),
The execution timing of the first notice effect (in this example, the execution timing of the dialogue mode change stimulating effect and the dialogue mode change notice effect) is during execution of the specific effect and is earlier than the execution timing of the second notice effect. A first timing (in this example, a timing T1 that is earlier than the execution timing of the one-shot reversal notice effect), and a second timing that is during execution of the specific effect and is later than the execution timing of the second notice effect (this example Then, a timing T2) later than the execution timing of the one-shot reversal notice effect is provided (see FIG. 9-9 (A)),
The advance notice effect executing means
During the execution of the specific effect, if the first notice effect of changing the display mode of the character information to the notification mode is executed at the first timing, the execution of the second notice effect is restricted (this example Then, if the result of step 003IWS906 is Y, the effect control CPU 120 does not perform the processing of steps 003IWS908 to S911, thereby executing the first dialogue mode change notice effect in which the display mode of the dialogue display after the change is rainbow. prohibits the execution of the second dialogue mode change notice effect),
During execution of the specific effect, if the first notice effect of changing the display mode of the character information to the notification mode is executed at the second timing, the display mode of the character information is changed to the above-described display mode at the second timing. The second notice effect is executed at a higher rate than when the first notice effect of changing to the suggested mode is executed (in this example, the reliability of the changed dialog mode in the second dialog mode change notice effect for the big hit) Since the degree of rainbow is the highest, and the one-shot reversal notice effect is a highly reliable effect for controlling the jackpot game state (Fig. 9-3 (D), (G)), the dialogue mode is rainbow. When executing the changing second dialogue mode change foretelling effect, the one-shot reversal foretelling effect is executed at a higher rate than when executing the second dialogue mode change foretelling effect for changing the dialogue mode to red or gold.)
It is characterized by
According to such a configuration, when the first notice effect in which the character information is the notification mode is executed at the first timing, the second notice effect is less likely to occur after that, so that the annoyance is suppressed and the interest is reduced. Furthermore, when the first notice performance with character information as a notification mode is executed at the second timing, the expectation for the big win is heightened as the specific performance progresses, and the amusement is improved. can be made

(Basic explanation)
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko game machine 1 (also the configuration and control of a general pachinko game machine) will be described.

(Configuration of pachinko machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko game machine 1, showing the arrangement layout of the main members. A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly composed of a game board (gauge board) 2 forming a game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 supporting and fixing the game board 2 . A game area is formed in the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot from a predetermined ball shooting device and hit into the game area.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area), a variable display (also called a special game) of special symbols (also called special symbols) as a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed. A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

The "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, that a plurality of types of special symbols are variably displayed (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include updating display of a plurality of patterns, scrolling display of a plurality of patterns, deformation of one or more patterns, enlargement/reduction of one or more patterns, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols, which will be described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Note that the variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed blinking. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols to be described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or variation.

The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also called "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also called "second special symbols". Also, a special game using the first special game is called a "first special game", and a special game using the second special game is called a "second special game". In addition, the number of special symbol display devices that variably display the special symbols may be one.

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

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronism with the first special game and the second special game, a plurality of types of decorative patterns (such as patterns showing numbers) as decoration identification information different from the special patterns. variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special game or the second special game, decorative patterns are variably displayed (for example, up and down direction scroll display and update display). In addition, the variable display of the special figure game and the decorative pattern that are executed in synchronism is generically called simply variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying suspended display corresponding to the variable display whose execution is suspended and active display corresponding to the variable display being executed. Suspended display and active display are also collectively referred to as variable display corresponding display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable representations that are reserved is also referred to as the number of reserved memories. The reserved memory number corresponding to the first special game is also referred to as the first reserved memory number, and the reserved memory number corresponding to the second special game is also referred to as the second reserved memory number. The sum of the first reserved memory count and the second reserved memory count is also referred to as the total reserved memory count.

In addition, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first suspension display 25A and a second suspension display 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. , the number of first reserved memories is displayed, and the second reserved display 25B displays the number of second reserved memories according to the number of lit LEDs.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

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

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning hole that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B is provided with, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable winglets. comes close to the winning ball device 6A, and the closed state in which the game balls do not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening being closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening (second start It is also said that the prize-winning mouth is open.). When the game ball enters the second start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the second special game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that changes between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to a device provided with an electric tulip-shaped accessory.

At predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four positions on the left and right sides of the game area), there are provided general winning holes 10 which are always kept open by predetermined ball receiving members. In this case, when the player enters one of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning hole is provided. The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning door (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning door closes the big winning door, and the game ball is pushed out. You will not be able to enter (pass through) the prize gate. On the other hand, in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize winning port door is in the ON state, the special prize winning port door opens the big prize winning port, making it easier for the game ball to enter the big prize winning port. Become.

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

Entering a game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also called "winning". In particular, winning a prize to a starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

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

A passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided on the left side of the image display device 5 . Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, the normal game is executed.

Above the normal pattern display 20, a normal pattern holding display 25C is provided. The general pattern suspension display 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the normal pattern suspension storage number, which is the number of general pattern games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

The surface of the game board 2 is provided with, in addition to the above structure, a windmill for changing the flowing direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, an out port is provided for taking in game balls that have not entered any of the winning ports.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the game machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 for game effects is provided at the periphery of the game area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 includes an LED.

At a predetermined position (not shown in FIG. 1) of the game board 2, a movable body 32 that operates according to the performance is provided.

A ball hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 operated by a player or the like to shoot a game ball toward the game area from the ball shooting device is provided at the lower right portion of the game machine frame 3 .

At a predetermined position of the game machine frame 3 below the game area, game balls paid out as prize balls and game balls lent from a predetermined ball lending machine are held (stored) so as to be supplied to the ball shooting device. ) is provided with a batted ball supply plate (upper plate). Below the upper plate, there is provided a batted ball supply plate (lower plate) from which prize balls are dispensed when the upper plate is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by a player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. An operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by a controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, there is provided a push button 31B that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation. An operation on the push button 31B is detected by a push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

The pachinko game machine 1 is provided with a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B as detection means for detecting actions (operations, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Overview of Game Progress)
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotation operation of a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1 . When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display device 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal game based on the passage cannot be immediately executed) , the normal game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In this normal pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (normal pattern per pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern per pattern". On the other hand, if a normal pattern (normal pattern losing pattern) other than the normal pattern per pattern is stop-displayed as the determined normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern losing". When it comes to "normal game", the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period of time and the opening control is performed (the second start winning opening is opened).

When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

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

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

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the type of the big hit described below) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big win" and a big winning symbol. If a predetermined special symbol (a small winning symbol, for example, "2") different from the symbol is stop-displayed, it becomes a "small winning". Also, if a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big-hit symbol or the small-hit symbol is stop-displayed, it becomes "losing".

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

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

In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, a plurality of types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning opening and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc. described later) are prepared, and the jackpot is obtained according to these. type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained, and a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or almost no prize balls can be obtained.

In the small winning game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small winning game state, the same opening mode as the big winning game state when some jackpot types etc.), the big prize opening is opened. In addition, you may provide a small-hit classification also in a "small-hit" like a big-hit classification.

After the jackpot game state is finished, depending on the jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time-saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time saving state, the control (time saving control) that shortens the average special figure fluctuation time (period of varying the special figure) than the normal state is executed. In the time-saving state, by shortening the average normal figure fluctuation time (the period during which the normal figure is changed) than in the normal state, and by improving the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time-saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbols) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time-saving control, the variable probability control in which the probability that the display result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The variable probability state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols is improved, and in addition, a "big hit" is likely to occur, so it is a further advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the variable probability state are continued until one of the end conditions such as execution of the special game for a predetermined number of times and start of the next big win game state is established first. The end condition that the special figure game of a predetermined number of times has been executed is also referred to as a number cut (number cut time reduction, number cut probability variable, etc.).

The normal state means a game state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a variable probability state, etc., and the display result in the normal game is "normal game". The pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special game will be a "jackpot", returns to the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when the system is reset, a predetermined return after power-on) It is the state controlled in the same way as when processing is not executed).

The state in which probability variable control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which probability variable control is not executed is also called a low probability state. A state in which time-saving control is performed is also referred to as a high-based state, and a state in which time-saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low-based state. Combining these, the short-time state is also called a low-probability-high base state, the probability-variable state is a high-probability-high base state, and the normal state is a low-probability-low base state. The high probability state and the low base state are also referred to as the high probability low base state.

After the small win game state is over, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small win" is continuously controlled (however, "small win" occurs). If the special game at the time is the special game for the predetermined number of times in the above cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, there may not be a "small hit" as a display result of a special figure game.

In addition, the game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot game state. For example, when the game ball passes through the specific area, it may be controlled to the probability variable state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notifying the progress of the game and exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and/or the game effect lamp 9 This may be performed by turning on/off, operation of the movable body 32, or the like.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, the first special game or the second In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game or the second special game, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns), which is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns, is displayed. ) is also stopped (derived).

During the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end of the variable display, the variable display of the decorative design may be in a predetermined ready-to-win state (ready-to-win state is established). Here, the ready-to-win mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative symbols that are not stopped and displayed are displayed in a variable manner. It is the aspect that is continuing.

Further, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win mode during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special game or the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern) to the "big win" (also called the "big win reliability" or "big win expectation") depends on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of ready-to-win effects are executed. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

When the display result of the special game is a "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration The display result of the variable display of the pattern becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decoration patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stop-displayed together on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. .

In the case of a ``variable probability big hit'' controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the big win game state, odd decorative patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed together, and the variable probability state is entered after the end of the big win game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative patterns are also called probability variable patterns and even-numbered decorative patterns are also called non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

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

If the display result of the special game is "Loss", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the ready-to-win mode, and the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" Also referred to as "non-reach loss".) may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "losing", after the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("reach losing") that is not a big hit combination. (Also called) fixed decorative pattern is displayed stop (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "reach lost").

The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (suspended display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display during execution and a pre-reading notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display before execution (variable display whose execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the display corresponding to the variable display (suspended display or active display) to a mode different from normal may be executed.

Also, in the image display device 5, the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative patterns, and then the variable display is restarted, so that one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays. A pseudo continuous effect may be executed.

During the big winning game state, the performance during the big winning is executed to report the big winning game state. As the effect during the big win, the effect of notifying the number of rounds or the promotion effect indicating that the value of the big win game state is improved may be executed. Also, during the small-hit game state, an effect during the small-hit game for notifying the small-hit game state is executed. It should be noted that during the small winning game state, some of the jackpot types (jackpot types in the jackpot game state in the same manner as the small hit game state, for example, the jackpot type in the subsequent game state high probability state) jackpot game By executing a common performance in both states, the player may not know whether the current state is a small win game state or a big win game state. In such a case, by executing a common performance after the end of the small winning game state and after the end of the big winning game state, it is made impossible to distinguish whether the state is a high probability state or a low probability state. may

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

The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100), as part of the control of the progress of the game, produces a production control command (a command to specify (notify) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game. 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. - 特許庁The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, the display result of the special game (including the jackpot type), the variation pattern used when executing the special game (details will be described later). )), game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big winning slots, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, game status), commands specifying error occurrence, and the like.

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

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

The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to execute a process for executing the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above function of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed (including the decision, etc.).

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

(Major operations of the main substrate 11)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes game control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main substrate 11. As shown in FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). Initial settings include stack pointer setting, internal device register setting (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output port, etc.), setting to make RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3). The clear switch is mounted, for example, on the power board. When the clear switch is turned on and the power is turned on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 through the input port. If the output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3; Yes), initialization processing (step S8) is executed. In the initialization processing, the CPU 103 performs RAM clear processing for clearing flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

Moreover, CPU103 transmits the production|presentation control command which instruct|indicates initialization to the production|presentation control board 12 (step S9). When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command, for example, the image display device 5 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not ON (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power failure), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko game machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stoppage of the power supply. In this process when the power supply is stopped, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is to be backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. Data protection processing includes adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes not only various data for progressing the game (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.), but also the states of backup flags and error detection codes. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is ON. If the backup flag is off and backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), an initialization process (step S8) is executed.

If backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the backed up data (using an error detection code) to determine whether the data is normal (step S5). In step S5, for example, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply was stopped, using a parity bit or a checksum. If it is determined that they match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply was stopped, so initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs recovery processing (step S6) to return the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply was stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 (the contents of the backed up data). As a result, the game state at the time of stopping the power supply is restored, and when the special symbols are fluctuating, the fluctuation of the special symbols is resumed from the state before restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. will be

And CPU103 transmits the production|presentation control command which instruct|indicates restoration from a power failure to the production|presentation control board 12 (step S7). In accordance with this, an effect control command that specifies the game state before the power outage that is backed up, and if the special game is being executed, the effect control that specifies the display result of the special game that is being executed You may make it transmit a command. These commands can use the same commands as the commands set for transmission in the special symbol process described later. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command specifying the restoration time from the power failure, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that the power failure has been restored or is being restored from the power failure. Display the screen for The effect control CPU 120 may perform appropriate screen display based on the effect control command.

After completing the recovery process or the initialization process and transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12 ). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the timer interrupt process for game control shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby, through the switch circuit 110, the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port. It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko game machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.), start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of wins, etc.), probability change information (information indicating the number of times the odd state has occurred, etc.) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). CPU103 by executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, management of execution and suspension of the special symbol game, control of the big hit game state and small hit game state, control of the game state, etc. are realized (details later).

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). By the CPU 103 executing normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, management of execution and suspension of the normal symbol game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41), It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal game hit". The execution of the normal pattern game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the normal pattern reservation number is displayed by lighting the normal pattern reservation display device 25C.

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

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, the occurrence of starting winning is detected, and the process of storing the pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 and updating the pending storage number is executed. When a starting prize is generated, a random number value for determining the display result (including the jackpot type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process of prefetching and judging a display result or a variation pattern may be executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for designating the determination result such as the generation of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination to the effect control board 12 is performed. . The effect control command at the time of starting winning thus set to be transmitted is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. is transmitted to

After executing the starting prize determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game based on the presence or absence of pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is a "big hit" or "small hit", and the type of the big hit in the case of "big hit". is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (any one of a big hit symbol, a small winning symbol, or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. In addition, the special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion). Also, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the condition for starting the special game may be established in the order of winning (also called winning order).

When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which decision values to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) are referred to. Other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12 are the same. Various tables are stored in the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 .

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". In this variation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of variation patterns is selected using random numbers for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination as to whether the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit." including the process of determining In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of variable display of decorative patterns), the form of variable display of decorative patterns (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of decorative patterns. It specifies the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes a process of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation processing ends.

The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the variation of the special symbol, and stop display (derivate) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes a process to set for Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". Moreover, when the display result is "losing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "losing", when it is controlled to the time saving state or the probability variable state, and when the end of the number cut is established, the game state is also updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is "jackpot". is When opening the big winning opening, a process of supplying a solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is completed.

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". In this process during the opening of the big win, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning hole, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the big winning hole is counted. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes processing for determining whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions, and processing for judging whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit number of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending production is executed as a production operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

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

Small hit during opening processing of step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "9". In this process during opening of the small prize, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, and the timing of returning the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. It includes processing for determining whether or not When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small winning game state comes, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the small winning open processing is ended.

Small hit end processing of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "10". This small-hit end processing includes processing of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to the period in which the performance operation for informing the end of the small-hit game state is executed elapses. Here, when the small winning game state ends, the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 before entering the small winning game state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small winning game state has passed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small winning end processing ends.

(Major operations of production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated, and the effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 is executed. When the production control main process shown in FIG. Perform register setting of the mounted CTC (counter/timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial motion control process, control for initial motion of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined motion, is executed.

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

Also, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that occurs each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is an interrupt generated when, for example, the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt prohibition, but when using a CPU that does not automatically enter an interrupt prohibition state, interrupt It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interruption caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port for receiving the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I/O 125 . The effect control command taken in at this time is stored in the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt process after setting the interrupt permission.

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

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

Random number update processing for production|presentation is performed following the production|presentation control process processing of step S76 (step S77), and at least one part of the random number for production|presentation used by the production|presentation control board 12 side is updated by software. After that, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be performed before returning to the processing of step S73.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process processing. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Also, a process for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the effect control command.

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

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command designating the start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11. and so on. When it is determined to start the variable display of the decoration pattern on the image display device 5, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the ready-to-win effect, and various other Whether or not to execute various effects such as advance notice effects, its mode, execution start timing, etc. are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

The effect process during variable display in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32, outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effects are controlled during the variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating to stop display of the fixed decorative pattern is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to the fact that the player has done so, the fixed decoration pattern which becomes the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the production process during variable display ends.

The special figure per waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving the production control command designating the start of the jackpot game state or the small hit game state, if the command designates the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the production process flag is set to "6". ”. On the other hand, if the command designates the start of the small-hit game state, the value of the production process flag is updated to "4", which is the value corresponding to the small-hit production process. Also, when the waiting time for receiving the command has passed without receiving a command designating the start of the big win game state or the small win game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game was "losing". Then, the value of the production process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value. When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The production process during the small hit of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "4". In this small-hit mid-performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the small-hit game state, and executes various performance controls in the small-hit game state based on the set content. . Further, in the small-hit middle production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the small-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small-hit end production. It is updated to a certain "5", and the effect processing during the small hit is ended.

The small hit end production process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In this small hit end effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the small win game state, etc., and various effect control at the end of the small win game state based on the setting content. to run. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the small winning end effect process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big-hit production process, the production control CPU 120 sets, for example, production control patterns corresponding to the production contents in the big-hit game state, and executes various production controls in the big-hit game state based on the set contents. Also, in the big-hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the ending production process. 7", and the effect processing during the big hit is finished.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, effect control patterns corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the set contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

(Description of Characteristic Portion 003IW) [First Embodiment]
Next, a first embodiment of the characteristic portion 003IW will be described.

(Variation pattern table)
In the first embodiment, the variation patterns shown in FIG. 8-1 are provided. As shown in FIG. 8-1, as a variation pattern when the variable display result is a loss, a variation pattern PA1-1 in which the effect content is non-reach loss (normal variation failure) and the variation time is 5 seconds, A variation pattern PA1-2 in which the performance content is non-reach failure (normal variation failure) and the variation time is as short as 1.5 seconds, and a variation pattern PA1-3 in which the performance content is normal reach failure and the variation time is 30 seconds. , and variation patterns PA2-1 to PA2-3 in which the content of the effect is Super Reach Loss. The variation time of variation pattern PA2-1 is 90 seconds, the variation time of variation pattern PA2-2 is 120 seconds, and the variation time of variation pattern PA2-3 is 150 seconds.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-1, as variation patterns when the variable display result is a big hit, there is a variation pattern PA3-1 in which the effect content is a normal reach jackpot and the variation time is 30 seconds, and a change pattern PA3-1 in which the effect content is a super hit. Variation patterns PA4-1 to PA4-3, which are reach jackpots, are provided. The variation time of variation pattern PA4-1 is 90 seconds, the variation time of variation pattern PA4-2 is 120 seconds, and the variation time of variation pattern PA4-3 is 150 seconds.

In the variation accompanying the super reach effect, when performing only the first half of the super reach effect (SP reach (first half only)), when performing the first half and the second half of the super reach effect (SP reach (first half + second half)), There is a case where the first half of the super reach production develops into SPSP reach (SPSP reach).

When developing into SPSP reach, after 12 seconds from the start of super reach, the SPSP development suggestive agitation production is executed for 2 seconds, and after 14 seconds from the start of super reach, the SPSP development suggestion notice production is executed for 30 seconds, and then SPSP. Run a reach. The SPSP development-suggestion inciting effect is a performance that suggests execution of the SPSP development-suggestion forewarning effect. The SPSP development suggestive notice effect is a effect suggesting execution of the SPSP ready-to-win effect. In addition, even in SP reach fluctuation that does not develop into SPSP reach, it is a configuration that can execute SPSP development suggestive production, but in that case as well as when developing into SPSP reach, SPSP 12 seconds after the start of super reach The development suggestion inciting production is executed for 2 seconds. Both the SPSP development suggestive agitation production and the SPSP development suggestion advance notice production are productions that are performed during the execution of the super reach production (first half), but the SPSP development suggestion agitation production is part of the image display of the super reach production (first half). , while the SPSP development suggestive notice effect is a effect in which all of the image display of the super reach effect (first half) is difficult to see.

As shown in the figure, in the variation where the variable display result is out, when the low base state and the number of reserved memories are less than 3, the variation pattern PA1-1 is selected at a rate of 60%, and the variation pattern PA1-1 is selected at a rate of 20%. The variation pattern PA1-3 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PA2-1 is selected at a rate of 7%, the variation pattern PA2-2 is selected at a rate of 7%, and the variation pattern PA2-3 at a rate of 3% is selected. In the variation where the variable display result is out of line, when the low base state and the number of pending memories is 3 or more, or when the high base state, the variation pattern PA1-2 is selected at a rate of 80%. , The variation pattern PA1-3 is selected at a rate of 20%, the variation pattern PA2-1 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PA2-2 is selected at a rate of 7%, and the variation pattern at a rate of 3% PA2-3 is selected.

Also, as shown in the figure, in the variation where the variable display result is a big hit, the variation pattern PA3-1 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PA4-1 is selected at a rate of 20%, and the variation pattern PA4-1 is selected at a rate of 30%. Variation pattern PA4-2 is selected, and variation pattern PA4-3 is selected at a rate of 40%.

Since the selection ratio of each variation pattern is determined in this way, the reliability of controlling for a big hit is super reach (first half only)<super reach (first half + second half)<SPSP reach.

One of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 8-1 is selected in the above-described variation pattern setting process (step S111).

(Variable display start setting process)
FIG. 8-2 is a flow chart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern command from the variation pattern command storage area (step 003IWS801). Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays the display result (stop symbol) is determined (step 003 IWS 802). That is, by executing the processing of step 003IWS802 by the effect control CPU 120, according to the variable display pattern (variation pattern) determined by the variable display pattern determination means, the display result of the variable display of the identification information (the decoration pattern is stopped) A display result determining means for determining a pattern) is realized. Incidentally, when a pseudo-run is designated by the variation pattern command, the effect control CPU 120, in step 003IWS802, sets a chance symbol (for example, like "223" or "445") as a temporary stop symbol of the pseudo-run. , combinations of jackpot patterns that do not reach reach and patterns that are shifted by one pattern) are also determined. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 stores the data indicating the stop symbol of the determined decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. In step 003 IWS 802, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the hit is a big hit based on the received variation pattern command, and may determine the decorative symbols to be stopped based on only the variation pattern command. .

At step 003 IWS 802, if the received display result designation command indicates a "big hit", the effect control CPU 120 selects a combination of decoration symbols in which three symbols are the same as the stop symbol ( determine the jackpot pattern). Then, in the case of "missing", a combination of decoration patterns other than the above is determined. However, when the ready-to-win effect is involved, a combination of decorative patterns in which the left and right two patterns are aligned is determined. Also, the combination of the three symbols derived and displayed on the image display device 5 is the decorative symbol "stop symbol".

The effect control CPU 120, for example, extracts a random number for determining a stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating combinations of decorative symbols and numerical values are associated with each other to determine the stop symbol of the decorative symbol. decide. That is, the stop symbol is determined by selecting the data indicating the combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value that matches the extracted random number.

As for decorative patterns, a stop pattern (a combination of patterns in which the left, middle, and right are all the same pattern) that reminds us of a big win is called a big hit pattern. Also, a stop symbol that reminds us of a loss is called a lost symbol.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs a notice effect setting process for setting a notice effect to be performed during the fluctuation (step 003IWS803).

The effect control CPU 120 selects a process table corresponding to the variation pattern (step 003IWS813), and proceeds to step 003IWS814.

Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the process table selected at step 003IWS813 (step 003IWS814).

The process table is a table in which process data referred to when the effect control CPU 120 executes control of the effect device is set. That is, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect devices (parts for effect) such as the image display device 5 according to the process data set in the process table. The process table is composed of data in which a plurality of combinations of process timer setting values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data and sound number data are collected. The display control execution data includes data indicating each variation mode constituting the variation mode during the variable display time (variation time) of the variable display of the decorative pattern. Specifically, data related to changing the display screen of the image display device 5 is described. In addition, the process timer set value is set with a variable time in the mode of variation. The effect control CPU 120 refers to the process table, and performs control to display the decoration pattern in the variation mode set in the display control execution data for the time set in the process timer set value. Also, the process table is stored in the ROM of the effect control board 80 . Also, the process table is prepared according to each variation pattern.

In addition, in the process table used when performing the effect control for the variation pattern involving the ready-to-win effect, the left symbol is stopped when a predetermined time has passed since the start of the variation, and the right symbol is stopped when a predetermined time has passed. Process data indicating to display is set. In addition, instead of setting the symbols to be stopped and displayed in the process table, an image for displaying the symbols is synthesized and generated according to the determined stop symbols, the temporary stop symbols in the simulated run and the sliding effect. may

In addition, the production control CPU 120 controls the production device (the image display device 5 as the production component, the production component as the Various lamps and speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts are controlled (step 003IWS815). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the variation pattern on the image display device 5 . It also outputs a control signal (lamp control execution data) to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting/extinguishing of various lamps. Also, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13 in order to output audio from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls such that the decorative pattern is displayed variably according to the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern command one-to-one, but the effect control CPU 120 A variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the variation pattern command.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the variable time timer to a value corresponding to the variable time specified by the variable pattern command (step 003IWS816).

Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the value of the effect control process flag to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172) (step 003IWS819).

(Notice effect setting process)
FIGS. 8-3 and 8-4 are flowcharts showing the advance notice effect setting process (step 003IWS804) in the first embodiment. In the advance notice effect setting processing in this embodiment, mainly settings relating to the active change notice effect and the one-shot reversal notice effect are performed.

The active change notice effect is a effect suggesting the degree of expectation for controlling the big win by changing the display mode of the active display. In this embodiment, as display modes of active display, a first mode (white), a second mode (red), and a third mode (gold) having different display colors are provided. The degree of expectation for a big hit is first mode<second mode<third mode. The display mode of the active display at the start of the fluctuation is the first mode, and can be changed to the second mode or the third mode by performing the active change notice effect.

As an effect mode of the active change notice effect, a first mode in which the display mode of the active display changes after displaying a predetermined image (an image with a character display of "active change challenge") in the entire display area of the image display device 5. and a second mode in which the display mode of the active display changes after the specific image (lightning strikes the active display from the cloud that has flowed) is displayed in part of the display area of the image display device 5. It is Further, it is possible to execute an active change inciting effect suggesting the execution of the first aspect of the active change inciting effect, and by performing the active change inciting effect, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the change in the display mode of the active display. It is configured.

It should be noted that a common specific sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R and a common specific light emission is output when the first mode of the active change notice effect is performed and when the second mode of the active change notice effect is performed. The game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in a pattern.

The specific sound is a sound that notifies that the state of the active display has changed, and is a sound that differs according to the state of the active display after the change. It is a common voice. Note that the effect sound of the active change notice effect itself may differ depending on the mode of the active change notice effect. For example, in the active change notice effect of the first mode, a sound corresponding to the enlarged display of the active change icon, which will be described later, is output, and in the active change notice effect of the second mode, lightning strikes the active display from the cloud image described later. A sound corresponding to the falling image may be output, or a sound corresponding to the active change notice effect of the first mode may be output, while a sound corresponding to the active change notice effect of the second mode is not output. Alternatively, the sound corresponding to the active change notice effect of the first mode may not be output, while the sound corresponding to the active change notice effect of the second mode may be output.

The specific light emission pattern is a light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 that notifies that the state of the active display has changed, and is a light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 that differs according to the state of the active display after the change. This is a light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 that is common when the advance notice effect is performed in any mode. The light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 of the active change notice effect itself may differ depending on the mode of the active change notice effect. For example, in the active change notice effect of the first mode, the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to enlarged display of the active change icon described later, and in the active change notice effect of the second mode, the cloud image described later is used. The game effect lamp 9 may be caused to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to an image of lightning falling on the active display, or the game effect lamp 9 may emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the first aspect of the active change notice effect. On the other hand, the game effect lamp 9 may not emit light in the light emission pattern corresponding to the active change notice effect of the second mode, or conversely, the light emission pattern corresponding to the active change notice effect of the first mode may be used. While the game effect lamp 9 is not illuminated, the game effect lamp 9 may be illuminated in a light emission pattern corresponding to the active change notice effect of the second mode.

In addition, the execution timing of the active change agitation effect and the active change notice effect is not limited to the super reach effect. It can be a certain thing. In that case, the execution ratio of the active change inciting effect and the active change notice effect during the normal fluctuation and the normal reach effect may be lower than the execution ratio of the active change inciting effect and the active change notice effect during the super reach effect.

Further, during the normal fluctuation or during the normal ready-to-win effect, the first state of the active change notice effect may be executed, but the second state of the active change notice effect may not be executed.

In addition, during the normal fluctuation or during the normal ready-to-win effect, the first mode and the second mode of the active change notice effect cannot be executed, but the third mode of the active change notice effect different from the first mode and the second mode is executed. It may be possible to do so. For example, the mini-character performs an active change effect accompanied by a display in which the mini-character moves to the display area of the active display, and the display mode of the active display changes when the mini-character performs a predetermined action. A change notice effect may be performed.

The execution timing of the active change fanning performance is 5 seconds after the start of the super ready-to-win performance, and the execution period of the active change fanning performance is 3 seconds. The execution timing of the active change notice effect of the first mode is 8 seconds after the start of the super ready-to-win effect, and the execution period of the active change notice effect of the first mode is 7 seconds. The execution timing of the active change notice effect of the second mode is eight seconds after the start of the super ready-to-win effect, and the execution period of the active change notice effect of the first mode is one second. That is, the execution timing of the active change notice effect is common between the case of executing the first state of the active change notice effect and the case of executing the second state of the active change notice effect. In either case, the active change notice effect is started 8 seconds after the start of the super ready-to-win effect.

Although details will be described later, when the SPSP ready-to-win effect is performed as described above, the SPSP development fan effect is started 12 seconds after the start of the super ready-to-win effect. Further, as described above, when the active change notice effect is executed, the active change notice effect is started 8 seconds after the start of the super ready-to-win effect. Here, when the active change notice effect is executed in the variation accompanying the SPSP ready-to-win effect, if the active change notice effect of the first mode is executed, the active change notice effect of the first mode and the SPSP development incitement effect are performed. Since the execution periods of 1 and 2 partially overlap each other, and the effect is that the image is displayed in full screen on the image display device 5, they interfere with each other. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the active change notice effect is executed in the variation accompanying the SPSP ready-to-win effect, the execution of the active change notice effect of the first mode is restricted, and the SPSP development incitement effect is not hindered. It is configured to be able to execute the second aspect of the active change forewarning effect.

The one-shot reversal notice effect is an effect that suggests the degree of expectation for a big hit control by displaying an image including a character display of "one-shot reversal" in the entire display area of the image display device 5. - 特許庁In addition, it is configured to be able to execute a one-shot reversal inciting effect that suggests execution of the one-shot reversal notice effect, and by performing the one-shot reverse inciting effect, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the execution of the one-shot reversal notice effect. It is configured.

It should be noted that after execution of the one-shot reversal foretelling effect, it is possible to always perform a display informing that the one-shot reversal foretelling effect has been performed. For example, after execution of the one-shot reversal foretelling effect, an icon display corresponding to the one-shot reversal foretelling effect is displayed on the upper left of the display area of the image display device 5, or before and after the execution of the one-shot reversing foretelling effect, a decorative pattern design is displayed. By changing it, it may be notified that the one-shot reversal foretelling effect has been executed.

The one-shot reversal fanning production in this example is a production including the display of a band image (band display), and the display area of the band display is expanded step by step each time a predetermined production (supporting production described later) is repeated. is. It should be noted that each time a predetermined effect is repeated, the band display itself is enlarged step by step, and the number of displayed band displays is increased step by step each time a predetermined effect is repeated. It may be something that enhances the character. Further, the rate of development to the one-shot reversal notice effect or the degree of reliability for controlling the big win may differ depending on the number of repetitions of the predetermined effect.

In the advance notice effect setting process, effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern command read at step 003IWS801 is a variation pattern accompanied by super reach (step 003IWS3000). Specifically, it is determined whether it is any one of the fluctuation patterns PA2-1 to PA2-3 and PA4-1 to PA4-3. If the variation pattern does not involve super reach, the advance notice effect setting process is terminated as it is.

In step 003IWS3000, if the variation pattern involves super reach, the effect control CPU 120 performs an active change execution lottery during SP for determining whether or not to execute the active change notice effect (step 003IWS3001). Specifically, the during-SP active change execution lottery is performed using the during-SP active change execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(A).

FIG. 8-5(A) is an explanatory diagram showing a during-SP active change execution lottery table. In the during-SP active change execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(A), a determination value for whether or not the active change notice effect is executed is assigned to each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the active change notice effect at a rate of 70%, and not to execute the active change notice effect at a rate of 30%. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the active change notice effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the active change notice effect at a rate of 60%.

In this way, it is configured such that the active change notice effect can be executed at a higher rate in the case of a big hit than in the case of a loss. As a result, the active change notice effect is a effect with a high degree of expectation for the big hit.

When it is decided to execute the active change notice effect (N of step 003IWS3002), the effect control CPU 120 performs a timing determination lottery for determining the execution timing of the active change notice effect (step 003IWS3003). Specifically, the timing determination lottery is performed using the timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(B).

FIG. 8-5(B) is an explanatory diagram showing a timing determination lottery table. In the timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5 (B), the effect contents corresponding to the variation pattern (super reach (first half only) big hit / lose, super reach (first half + second half) big hit (SPSP reach no development), super reach A determination value for the execution timing of the active change announcement effect is assigned for each (first half + second half) loss (SPSP reach no development), SPSP reach big hit/loss).

For example, when the effect content is super reach (only the first half) jackpot/loss, the first half of the super reach effect is determined as the execution timing of the active change notice effect at a rate of 100%. If the content of the production is a super hit (first half + second half), the timing of the first half of the super ready-to-win production is 70%, the second half of the super ready-to-win production is 30%, and the execution timing of the active change notice production. Determined as If the effect content is super reach (first half + second half), 40% of the timing is the first half of the super reach effect, 60% of the time is the second half of the super reach effect, and the execution timing of the active change notice effect. Determined as When the performance content is SPSP ready-to-win jackpot/losing, the timing of the first half of super ready-to-win performance is determined as the execution timing of active change notice performance at a rate of 100%.

In this way, if the content of the effect is a super hit (first half + second half), the ratio of determining the timing of the first half of the super reach effect as the execution timing of the active change notice effect is better than the timing of the second half of the super reach effect. While the ratio is higher than the execution timing of the active change notice effect, if the content of the effect is out of super reach (first half + second half), the timing of the first half of the super reach effect is decided as the execution timing of the active change notice effect. The ratio of determining the timing of the second half of the super ready-to-win effect as the execution timing of the active change notice effect is higher than the ratio. As a result, the reliability of the big win control is higher when the super ready-to-win performance is executed in the first half of the super ready-to-win performance than in the latter half of the super ready-to-win performance. It's becoming

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the execution timing of the determined active change notice effect (step 003IWS3004). Then, when the execution timing of the determined active change announcement effect is the timing of the first half of the super ready-to-win effect (Y in step 003 IWS3005) and the SPSP ready-to-win change (that is, the SPSP development suggesting effect is executed) (step 003 IWS3006). Y), the active change notice effect of the second mode is set (step 003 IWS3007). In this way, when the active change notice effect is executed in the SPSP reach fluctuation (that is, when the SPSP development suggestion effect is executed), the execution of the active change notice effect in the first mode is restricted, and the second mode is performed. It is supposed to be executed in As a result, the SPSP development suggestion effect and the active change notice effect can be executed without interfering with each other.

When the determined execution timing of the active change notice effect is the second half of the super ready-to-win effect (N in step 003 IWS3005), or the determined execution timing of the active change notice effect is the first half of the super ready-to-win effect, SPSP If the variation does not involve a reach (N in step 003IWS3006), the effect control CPU 120 sets the first mode active change notice effect (step 003IWS3008).

In addition, in the case of the variation for performing the SPSP reach effect, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not execution of the active change notice effect during super reach is determined (step 003IWS3009). When the execution of the active change notice effect during super ready-to-win has been determined, an SPSP active change notice execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the active change notice effect during SPSP ready-to-win is performed (step 003 IWS3010). Specifically, the timing determination lottery is performed using the active change execution lottery table during SPSP shown in FIG. 8-5(C).

FIG. 8-5(C) is an explanatory diagram showing the during-SPSP active change execution lottery table. In the SPSP mid-active change execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(C), a judgment value is assigned to whether or not the active change notice effect is executed during the SPSP reach for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, 80% of the decisions are made to execute the active change notice effect during the SPSP reach, and 20% of the decisions are made not to execute the active change notice effect during the SPSP reach. decide. Also, for example, if the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the active change notice effect during the SPSP reach 30% of the time, and not to execute the active change notice effect during the SPSP reach 70% of the time. to decide.

In this way, when comparing FIGS. 8-5 (A) and (C), the reliability of executing the active change notice effect during the SPSP reach is higher than the reliability of the big hit by executing the active change notice effect during the super reach. It is configured so that the reliability of the big hit is higher. This makes it possible to give the player a feeling of anticipation for the execution of the active change announcement effect during the SPSP reach.

When it is determined to execute the active change notice effect during SPSP reach (Y in step 003 IWS3012), the effect control CPU 120 executes the active change effect and the first mode active change notice effect during SPSP reach. is set (step 003 IWS 3013). At this time, in the SPSP ready-to-win mode, since the SPSP development suggestion inciting performance and the SPSP development suggestion notice performance are not executed, the execution of the active change notice performance of the first mode is set instead of the second mode. . After that, the process moves to step 003 IWS 3017 .

At step 003 IWS 3002, if the execution of the active change notice effect during the super reach is not determined, the effect control CPU 120 performs an active bias effect execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the active shock effect notice effect (step 003). 003IWS3014). The active inciting false notice effect is an effect at least partly common to the active inciting effect, but unlike the active inciting effect, the active change notice effect is not performed immediately after. Specifically, the timing determination lottery is performed using the active fanning false execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(D).

FIG. 8-5(D) is an explanatory diagram showing a lottery table for executing an active false rumor. In the active false rumor execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(D), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the active false rumor effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the active false advance notice effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the active false notice effect at a ratio of 60%. Further, for example, when the result of the variable display is a failure, it is decided to execute the active false advance notice effect at a rate of 60%, and not to execute the active false notice effect at a ratio of 40%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the execution of the active incitement false notice effect if it is determined to be executed (step 003IWS3016).

After that, if the SP reach fluctuation does not develop into SPSP reach (Y in step 003 IWS3017), the effect control CPU 120 performs an SPSP development instigation execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the SPSP development instigation false notice effect ( step 003 IWS 3018). The SPSP development instigation false notice production is at least partly common with the SPSP development instigation production, but unlike the SPSP development instigation production, the SPSP development instigation announcement production immediately afterward also develops into SPSP reach. There is nothing. Specifically, the timing determination lottery is carried out using the SPSP development hype execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(E).

FIG. 8-5(E) is an explanatory diagram showing the lottery table for the SPSP development trickery execution lottery. In the SPSP development false rumor execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5(E), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the SPSP development false rumor performance is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the SPSP development false notice performance at a rate of 40%, and it is decided not to execute the SPSP development false notice performance at a rate of 60%. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the SPSP development false notice performance at a rate of 60%, and it is decided not to execute the SPSP development false notice performance at a rate of 40%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the execution of the SPSP development instigation false notice effect if it is determined to be executed (step 003IWS3019).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs setting control related to the one-shot reversal notice effect in steps 003IWS3021 to S3035. In this embodiment, the executable timing of the one-shot reversal notice effect is the first one-shot reversal timing in the first half of the SP reach, the second one-shot reversal timing in the latter half of the SP reach, and the third one in the SPSP reach. A reversal timing and are provided. The one-shot reversal notice effect at the first one-shot reversal timing is "1st one-shot reversal notice effect", the one-shot reversal notice effect at the second one-shot reversal timing is "second one-shot reversal notice effect", and the third one. The one-shot reversal foretelling effect at the reversal timing is sometimes referred to as the "third one-shot reversal foretelling effect". In addition, the one-shot reversal agitation production that agitates the execution of the first one-shot reversal notice production is “first one-shot reversal agitation production”, and the one-shot reversal agitation production that agitates the execution of the second one-shot reversal notice production is “second one A one-shot reversal agitation effect that encourages the execution of the third one-shot reversal warning effect is sometimes called a "third one-shot reversal agitation effect".

At step 003IWS3021, the effect control CPU 120 performs the first one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the first one-shot reverse fanning effect (step 003IWS3021). Specifically, the first one-shot reverse rotation execution lottery is performed using the one-shot reverse rotation execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6(A).

FIG. 8-6(A) is an explanatory diagram showing a one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery table. In the one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery table shown in FIG. If it is the 1st one-shot reverse fanning effect, or the 2nd one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery (step 003IWS3030), the 2nd one-shot reverse fanning effect, if the 3rd one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery (step 003IWS3036), the 3rd one-shot reverse A judgment value is assigned to whether or not the fanning effect) is executed.

For example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the one-shot reverse fanning performance at a rate of 70%, and not to execute the one-shot reverse fanning performance at a rate of 30%. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the one-shot reverse fanning performance at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the one-shot reverse fanning performance at a rate of 60%.

In the present embodiment, a common one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery table is used for the first one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery, the second one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery, and the third one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery. Although lottery processing is performed, it is not limited to this, and a one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery may be performed using tables with different execution ratios of one-shot reverse fanning effects.

When it is determined to execute the first one-shot reversal fanning effect, the effect control CPU 120 performs the first one-shot reverse notice execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the first one-shot reverse notice effect ( step 003 IWS3023). Concretely, the first one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery is performed using the first one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-6 (B1) and (B2).

FIGS. 8-6 (B1) and (B2) are explanatory diagrams showing a lottery table for executing the first reversal notice execution. 8-6 (B1) and (B2), in the first-shot reversal notice execution lottery table, a determination value is assigned to whether or not the first-shot reversal notice effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose). is

The first one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table A shown in FIG. It is a start reversal notice execution lottery table. When the first one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table A is used, for example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal notice performance at a rate of 70%, and at a rate of 30%. , it is determined not to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect. Also, for example, when the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 60%. do.

The first reversal notice execution lottery table B shown in FIG. 8-6 (B2) is used for the first reversal notice execution lottery when the variation pattern is other than the variation pattern with the super ready-to-win effect (only the first half). It is a lottery table for executing the first one-shot reversal notice executed. When the first one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table B is used, for example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal notice performance at a rate of 80%, and at a rate of 20%. , it is determined not to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect. Also, for example, if the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 45%, and not to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 55%. do.

In this way, the first reversal notice execution lottery table B is used more than when the first reversal notice execution lottery table A is used (in the case of a variation pattern involving a super ready-to-win effect (only the first half)). If it is a variation pattern that does not involve super reach production (only the first half), it is configured to execute the one-shot announcement production at a higher rate. As a result, when the one-shot reversal notice effect is executed in the super reach effect (first half), the ratio of developing to the super reach effect (second half) is higher than the case where it does not develop to the super reach effect (second half). Therefore, the player can expect the development to the super ready-to-win effect (second half).

When it is determined to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect (Y in step 003IWS3024), the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect mode of the first one-shot reverse notice effect. A determination lottery is conducted (step 003IWS3025). Specifically, the first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery is performed using the first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-6 (C1) and (C2).

FIGS. 8-6 (C1) and (C2) are explanatory diagrams showing the first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table. In the first one-shot reversal mode determination lottery table shown in FIGS. Judgment values are assigned to the first mode and the second mode in which the character display of "one-shot reversal" is displayed in gold.

The first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table A shown in FIG. 8-6 (C1) is the first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery used for the first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery when the variation pattern is not accompanied by the SPSP reach effect. It is a decision lottery table. When the first one-shot reversal mode determination lottery table A is used, for example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal notice performance of the first mode at a rate of 30%, At a rate of 70%, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect of the second mode. Further, for example, when the result of the variable display is a loss, it is determined to execute the first one-shot reversal foretelling performance of the first mode at a rate of 100%, and the first one-shot reversal foretelling performance of the second mode is performed. There is no case to decide.

In this way, in FIG. 8-6 (C1), the ratio of selecting the one-shot reversal notice effect of the second mode in the losing variation is 0%, whereas in the big hit variation, one shot in the second mode Since the reversal notice performance is selected at a rate of 70%, a big hit is confirmed when the second mode one-shot reversal notice performance is performed in the super reach performance (first half) in the variation that does not develop into the SPSP ready-to-win performance. It has become. As shown in FIG. 8-1, the reliability of the big hit in the production corresponding to the variation pattern has a relationship of SPSP ready-to-win production>super ready-to-win production (first half + second half)>super ready-to-win production (first half only). Limited to the case where the one-shot reversal notice effect of the second mode is executed in the effect (first half), the jackpot reliability is: SPSP ready-to-win effect change < super reach effect (first half + second half) change, super reach effect (first half only) It has a relationship of change. As a result, when the one-shot reversal foretelling effect is executed in the super ready-to-win effect (first half), it is possible to draw attention to which mode the one-shot reversal foretelling effect is to be executed.

The first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table B shown in FIG. 8-6 (C2) is used for the first one-shot reverse mode determination lottery when the variation pattern is accompanied by the SPSP ready-to-win effect. A lottery table. When the first one-shot reversal mode determination lottery table B is used, for example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal announcement performance of the first mode at a rate of 30%, At a rate of 70%, it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal notice effect of the second mode. Also, for example, if the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the first mode first shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 60%, and the second mode first shot reversal notice effect is performed at a rate of 40%. It decides to execute the advance notice effect.

After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the lottery result (step 003IWS3026).

In addition, if the variation pattern is not the SPSP ready-to-win effect but the second half of the super ready-to-win effect (step 003IWS3027 N, S3028 Y), the effect control CPU 120 is the first half of the super ready-to-win effect. It is determined whether or not to execute the start/reversal notice effect (step 003IWS3029). When the first one-shot reversal notice performance is not executed in the first half of the super ready-to-win performance, the performance control CPU 120 performs a second one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the second one-shot reverse fanning performance. (Step 003 IWS 3030). Specifically, the second one-shot reverse rotation execution lottery is performed using the one-shot reverse rotation execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6(A).

When it is determined to execute the second one-shot reversal fanning effect, the effect control CPU 120 performs a second one-shot reverse notice execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the second one-shot reverse notice effect ( step 003 IWS 3032). Specifically, the second one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery is performed using the first one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (B3).

FIG. 8-6 (B3) is an explanatory diagram showing a second one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery table. In the second one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (B3), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the second one-shot reversal notice effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the result of the variable display is a big win, it is decided to execute the second one-shot reversal foretelling effect at a rate of 70%, and not to execute the second one-shot reversal foretelling effect at a rate of 30%. . Also, for example, when the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the second one-shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the second one-shot reverse notice effect at a rate of 60%. do.

When it is determined to execute the second one-shot reversal notice effect (Y in step 003IWS3033), the effect control CPU 120 executes the second one-shot reverse notice effect for determining the effect mode of the second one-shot reverse notice effect. A determination lottery is conducted (step 003IWS3034). Specifically, the second one-shot reverse mode determination lottery is performed using the second one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (C3).

FIG. 8-6 (C3) is an explanatory diagram showing a second one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table. In the second one-shot reversal mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (C3), the production mode for each variable display result (big hit, lose) A judgment value is assigned to the second mode in which the character display of "one shot reverse" is displayed in gold.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the second one-shot reversal notice performance of the first mode at a rate of 20%, and the second one-shot reversal notice performance of the second mode is decided at a rate of 80%. Decide to perform the performance. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the second one-shot reversal notice effect of the first mode at a rate of 55%, and the second one-shot reversal of the second mode at a rate of 45%. It decides to execute the advance notice effect.

After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the lottery result (step 003IWS3035).

In addition, if the variation pattern accompanies the SPSP ready-to-win effect in step 003IWS3027, the effect control CPU 120 performs the third one-shot reverse fanning execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the third one-shot reverse fanning effect (step 003IWS3036). Specifically, the third one-shot reverse rotation execution lottery is performed using the one-shot reverse rotation execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6(A).

When it is decided to execute the third one-shot reversal fanning effect, the effect control CPU 120 performs a third one-shot reverse notice execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the third one-shot reverse notice effect ( step 003 IWS 3037). Specifically, the third one-shot reversal prediction execution lottery is performed using the third one-shot reverse rotation notice execution lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-6 (B4) and (B5).

FIGS. 8-6 (B4) and (B5) are explanatory diagrams showing the third one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery table. In the third one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-6 (B4) and (B5), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the third one-shot reversal notice effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose). is

The third one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table A shown in FIG. 8-6 (B4) is the third one-shot reversal when it is decided to execute the first one-shot reversal fanning effect in the first half of the super ready-to-win effect. It is a 3rd first reversal notice execution lottery table used for the notice execution lottery.

It is a 3rd first reversal notice execution lottery table used for the notice execution lottery. When the third one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table B is used, for example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the third one-shot reversal notice performance at a rate of 60%, and at a rate of 40%. , it is determined not to execute the third one-shot reversal notice effect. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the third one-shot reversal notice performance at a rate of 30%, and not to execute the third one-shot reversal notice performance at a rate of 70%. do.

Compared with the case where the reversal fanning effect is not executed, the execution ratio of the third one-shot reversal notice effect is high. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the player by giving the player a sense of expectation for the execution of the one-shot reversal notice performance again during the execution of the SPSP ready-to-win performance after the execution of the one-shot reversal notice performance. can.

When it is determined to execute the third one-shot reversal notice effect (Y in step 003IWS3039), the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect mode of the third one-shot reverse notice effect. A determination lottery is conducted (step 003 IWS3040). Specifically, the third one-shot reverse mode determination lottery is performed using the third one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (C4).

FIG. 8-6 (C4) is an explanatory diagram showing a third one-shot reverse mode determination lottery table. In the third one-shot reversal mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (C4), the production mode for each variable display result (big hit, lose) A judgment value is assigned to the second mode in which the character display of "one shot reverse" is displayed in gold.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the third one-shot reversal notice performance of the first mode at a rate of 30%, and the third one-shot reversal notice performance of the second mode is decided at a rate of 70%. Decide to perform the performance. Also, for example, when the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the third one-shot reversal notice effect of the first mode at a rate of 60%, and the third one-shot reversal of the second mode at a rate of 40%. It decides to execute the advance notice effect.

After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the lottery result (step 003IWS3041).

Next, display examples on the image display device 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-7 to 8-17. Incidentally, the display examples shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-17 are all display examples in the variation accompanying the super reach effect, but here the effect before the start of the super reach effect (for example, the normal reach effect) The illustration of the display of is omitted.

FIG. 8-7 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the image display device 5 in the super ready-to-win effect. As shown in FIG. 8-7, when the (A0) super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started, the image display device 5 displays the characters "1st battle", the friendly character in the left area, and the friendly character A in the right area. , are displayed, and the battle between the friend character and the enemy character A is started. A decoration pattern is displayed in the upper right portion of the display area of the image display device 5, and an active display is displayed in the lower center portion of the display area of the image display device 5. FIG.

Then, in the latter half of the super ready-to-win production, after (A1) performing a character object drop notice production in which the movable accessory is moved (dropped) from the retracted position to the advanced position, (A4) the latter half of the super ready-to-win production. develop into. At this time, the characters "2nd battle", the ally character in the left area, and the ally character B in the right area are displayed on the image display device 5, and the battle between the ally character and the enemy character B is started. If it does not develop in the latter half of the super ready-to-win effect (in the case of the variation pattern of the super ready-to-win effect (only the first half)), (A3) if it is a deviation change, an image display is performed in which the ally character is defeated by the enemy character A. Also, when the super ready-to-win effect does not develop in the latter half (in the case of the variation pattern of the super ready-to-win effect (only the first half)), (A2) in the case of a big win variation, an image display is performed in which the ally character wins over the enemy character A. At this time, the role object drop forewarning effect is not performed. In other words, the character object drop forewarning effect is a effect for notifying the development of the second half of the super ready-to-win effect.

In the second half of the super ready-to-win performance, when the variation is a big win, (A5) an image display is performed in which the ally character wins against the enemy character A, the big win pattern is stop-displayed, and the game is controlled to a big win game state. After that, although not shown in the drawings, an accessory drop announcement effect is performed in which the movable accessory is moved (dropped) from the retracted position to the advanced position, and the victory of the ally character (that is, control to the jackpot game state) is congratulated. It has become. It should be noted that the character object drop notice effect performed here is performed in a manner different from the character object drop notice effect shown in (A2). For example, a background display of an image (e.g., rainbow color image) that is more visible than in (A2), or a light emitting member with a light emitting pattern (e.g., iridescent light emission) that is more visible than in (A2). After (A5), a character object drop notice effect accompanied by light emission control is performed. On the other hand, if (A6) is a losing variation, an image is displayed in which the ally character is defeated by the enemy character A, and the losing symbol is stopped.

Although illustration is omitted, in the case of a variation pattern involving a super ready-to-win effect (first half + second half), a button image imitating the push button 31B is displayed at the timing immediately before the variable display result (big hit, lose) is announced. A button announcement effect is performed to prompt the player to operate the push button 31B. In the button advance notice performance, there are a case where the button image is displayed in a normal button mode with low reliability for big win and a case where the button image is displayed in a chance button mode with high reliability for big win.

In the case of a variation pattern involving a super ready-to-win effect (only the first half), the image display device 5 displays a predetermined image instead of performing the button announcement effect at the timing immediately before the variable display result (big hit, lose) is announced. It is possible to execute a cut-in notice effect that cut-in is displayed at.

In addition, in the case of the variation pattern accompanied by the SPSP ready-to-win effect, the button announcement effect and the lever image imitating the stick controller 31A are displayed to the player at the timing immediately before the variable display result (big hit, lose) is announced. Either a lever forewarning effect prompting the user to operate the stick controller 31A is performed. It is constructed so that the reliability of the big win is higher when the lever advance notice performance is performed than when the button notice performance is performed.

Also, in the super ready-to-win effect (first half), the super ready-to-win effect (second half), and the SPSP ready-to-win effect, the game effect lamps 9 emit light in different patterns according to the respective ready-to-win images (moving images displayed on the image display device 5). light emission control is performed.

In addition, in the event that a stimulus effect such as an SPSP development suggestion stimulus effect, an active change stimulus effect, a one-shot reversal stimulus effect, etc. is performed, a game effect lamp with a different light emission pattern (including turning off) according to each stimulus effect. 9 light emission control is performed. That is, during execution of each fanning production, the light emission control of the game effect lamp 9 in each fanning production is prioritized over the light emission control of the game effect lamp 9 in the super ready-to-win production (first half), the super ready-to-win production (second half), and the SPSP ready-to-win production. Light emission control is performed. As a result, it is possible to make the fanning effect stand out even during execution of the ready-to-win effect.

In addition, light emission control of the game effect lamp 9 is performed in a different mode of light emission pattern (including extinguishing) according to the type of fanning effect, so that it is possible to easily visually recognize which fanning effect is being performed. It's like For example, light emission control of the game effect lamp 9 in the one-shot reversal fan effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 8-14 and 8-15.

FIGS. 8-8 and 8-9 are explanatory diagrams showing display examples of the image display device 5 when the SPSP development suggestive effect is performed. As shown in FIGS. 8-8 and 8-9, when the (B1) super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started, the image display device 5 displays the characters "1st battle", the friendly characters in the left area, and the right area. is displayed, and a battle between the friend character and the enemy character A is started. A decoration pattern is displayed in the upper right portion of the display area of the image display device 5, and an active display is displayed in the lower center portion of the display area of the image display device 5. FIG.

Then, an SPSP development suggestion agitation production is performed. At that time, (B2) first, dotted line circles including the character display of "SPSP development" are displayed one by one to the left and right and start to move, and (B3) each circle is approximately in the center of the display area of the image display device 5. and (B4) each circle is merged into a single solid circle.

After that, when the SPSP ready-to-win production is developed (when the SPSP development suggesting agitation production succeeds), (B5) SPSP development-suggesting forewarning production for informing that the SPSP ready-to-win production will develop is executed. At this time, the image corresponding to the SPSP development suggestion notice effect is displayed on the entire surface with a higher display priority than the images excluding the active display (the background image, the ally character, the enemy character A, and the decoration pattern), thereby providing the SPSP development suggestion. Only the image corresponding to the notice effect and the active display are visible. Then, (B6) the SPSP ready-to-win effect is started by displaying the boss character.

In addition, if the SPSP development suggesting agitation production is performed, if it does not develop into the SPSP reach production, (B7) a falling circle of practice is displayed to indicate that the SPSP development suggestion agitation production has failed, and (B8) super reach. continues as is. Thus, the display priority of the effect image of the SPSP development suggestion provoking effect and the SPSP development suggestion preview effect is higher than that of the super ready-to-win effect image.

FIGS. 8-10 are explanatory diagrams showing display examples of the image display device 5 when performing an active change effect. As shown in FIG. 8-10, when the (C1) super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started, the image display device 5 displays the characters "1st battle", the friendly character in the left area, and the friendly character A in the right area. , are displayed, and the battle between the friend character and the enemy character A is started. A decoration pattern is displayed in the upper right portion of the display area of the image display device 5, and an active display is displayed in the lower center portion of the display area of the image display device 5. FIG. Also, a light source is generated substantially in the center of the display area of the image display device 5, and an active change effect is started.

Then, (C2) the active change icon including the character display of "ACTIVE DISPLAY CHALLENGE" is enlarged and displayed from the generated light source. (C3) The active change icon continues to be enlarged and displayed, and the active change icon is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5 . At this time, since the display priority of the active display and the decoration pattern is higher than that of the icon, the active change icon, the active display and the decoration pattern are displayed.

Then, when the active change notice effect is executed (when the active change inciting effect succeeds), (C4) effect display is performed so as to overlap the active display while the active change icon is displayed, and (C5) the active change icon is displayed. When the display changes from white to red, the first aspect of the active change notice effect is executed. At this time, a specific sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Also, in this way, the display priority of the effect image of the active change inciting effect and the active change notice effect is higher than that of the super ready-to-win effect image.

Then, when the active change notice effect is not executed (when the active change inciting effect fails), (C6) the active change icon is cracked to inform that the active change inciting effect has failed, and the super ready-to-win effect continues as it is. .

In this embodiment, the display mode of the active display is always changed when the active change notice effect shown in FIG. 8-10 (C4) is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as the pattern of the active change notice effect, a success pattern in which the display mode of the active display changes and a failure pattern in which the display mode of the active display does not change (active change fake effect) may be provided. . In that case, the timing at which the active change foretelling effect of the second mode is executed may be the same as the timing at which the active change foretelling effect of the first mode is executed. Thereby, it is possible to draw attention to the active change notice effect in common regardless of the pattern.

Here, a case where both the SPSP development suggesting fanning effect and the active mode change forewarning effect are performed will be described. A part of the execution period of the SPSP development suggestion fan effect and the execution period of the active mode change notice performance of the first mode overlap, and the display area of the display image in the SPSP development suggestion fan effect and the active mode of the first mode. A part of the display area of the display image in the change notice effect overlaps. Therefore, if both the SPSP development suggestive effect and the active mode change notice effect of the first mode are performed in a single variation, it is assumed that the effect of the effect cannot be exhibited sufficiently. Therefore, in the variation in which the SPSP development suggestive effect is performed, the image display that does not interfere with each other is performed by making it possible to execute the active change notice effect of the second mode instead of the first mode. Specific examples are shown in FIGS. 8-11 to 8-13.

In this example, when the active change notice effect of the second mode is executed, the active change inciting effect is not executed, and the active display always changes when the cloud image is displayed. In addition, although the active change inciting effect can be executed only before the execution of the active change inciting effect in this manner, the active change inciting effect in the first mode is not performed even if the active change inciting effect is performed. In some cases (see Figures 8-10).

FIGS. 8-11 to 8-13 are explanatory diagrams showing display examples of the image display device 5 when the SPSP development suggestive effect and the active change stimulus effect are performed. As shown in FIG. 8-11, when the (D1) super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started, the image display device 5 displays the characters "1st battle", the friendly character in the left area, and the friendly character A in the right area. , are displayed, and the battle between the friend character and the enemy character A is started. A decoration pattern is displayed in the upper right portion of the display area of the image display device 5, and an active display is displayed in the lower center portion of the display area of the image display device 5. FIG.

Next, (D2) the moving display of the cloud image is started, (D3) the cloud image stops at the upper center of the image display device 5, lightning strikes the active display from the cloud image, and (D4) the active display. is changed from white to red, the second aspect of the active change notice effect is executed. At this time, a specific sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The specific sound output here is the same sound as the specific sound output in FIG. 8-10 (C5).

Then, an SPSP development suggestion agitation production is performed. At that time, (D5) first, dotted circles containing the character display of "SPSP development" are displayed one by one to the left and right and start to move, and (D6) each circle is approximately in the center of the display area of the image display device 5. and (D7) each circle is merged into a single solid circle.

After that, when the SPSP ready-to-win production is developed (when the SPSP development suggesting agitation production is successful), (D8) an SPSP development-suggesting forewarning effect for notifying that the SPSP ready-to-win production will develop is executed. At this time, the image corresponding to the SPSP development suggestion notice effect is displayed on the entire surface with a higher display priority than the images excluding the active display (the background image, the ally character, the enemy character A, and the decoration pattern), thereby providing the SPSP development suggestion. Only the image corresponding to the notice effect and the active display are visible. Then, (D9) the SPSP ready-to-win effect is started by displaying the boss character.

Also, if the SPSP development suggestive agitation production is performed, if it does not develop into the SPSP reach production, (D10) a falling circle of practice is displayed to indicate that the SPSP development suggestion agitation production has failed, and (D11) super reach. continues as is. In this manner, the execution period of the active mode change notice effect and the execution period of the SPSP development suggestion stimulating effect and the SPSP development suggestion notice effect are configured so as not to overlap each other.

FIGS. 8-14 and 8-15 are explanatory diagrams showing display examples of the image display device 5 when performing a one-shot reverse fanning effect. As shown in FIG. 8-14, when the (E1) super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started, the image display device 5 displays the characters "1st battle", the friendly character in the left area, and the friendly character A in the right area. , are displayed, and the battle between the friend character and the enemy character A is started. A decoration pattern is displayed in the upper right portion of the display area of the image display device 5, and an active display is displayed in the lower center portion of the display area of the image display device 5. FIG.

After that, a one-shot reversal fanning production is executed. The one-shot reversal fanning production is a production that repeats three times a cheering production in which a predetermined character cheers for an ally character. For example, as the first cheering effect, (E2) Character A is displayed along with the text "Do your best!" , (E3) display a band image extending from the upper left to the lower right in the display area of the image display device 5; The band display includes the character A and the character display of "Like!". At this time, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect.

Next, as the second cheering effect, (E4) Character B is displayed together with the character display of "Fight!" , (E5) display a band image extending from the upper left to the lower right in the display area of the image display device 5; The band display includes characters A and B and a character display of "Like!". The band image displayed in the second cheering effect has a wider display range than the band image displayed in the first cheering effect. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect.

Then, as the third cheering effect, (E6) the character C is displayed together with the character display of "Win!" After that, (E7) a band image extending from the upper left to the lower right in the display area of the image display device 5 is displayed. The band display includes characters A to C and a character display of "Like!". The band image displayed in the third cheering effect has a wider display range than the band image displayed in the second cheering effect. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect. In this way, by repeating the cheering effect, the number of characters displayed during the band display is increased step by step, and the display range of the band display is widened step by step. It is possible to improve the interest of

In this way, during the execution of the one-shot reverse fanning effect, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the one-shot reverse fanning effect during the period in which characters and characters are displayed (Fig. 8-14 ( E2), (E4), see FIG. 8-15 (E6)), and in other periods, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the super reach effect (FIG. 8-14 (E3), FIG. 8-15 (E5), (E7)).

After that, when the one-shot reversal notice effect is to be executed, (E8) an image including the character display of “one-shot reversal” is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5 . Also, when the one-shot reversal notice effect is not executed, (E9) it returns to the display of the super ready-to-win effect as it is. In this way, the display priority of the effect image of the one-shot reversal fan effect and the one-shot reversal notice effect is higher than that of the super ready-to-win effect image.

FIGS. 8-16 and 8-17 are explanatory diagrams showing display examples of the image display device 5 when performing the SPSP development suggestive fan effect and the one-shot reverse fan fan effect. As shown in FIG. 8-16, after FIG. 8-15 (E7), the SPSP development suggesting fan effect is performed with a higher display priority than the one-shot reversal fan effect. Although illustration is omitted, when the execution of the one-shot reversal agitation production and the SPSP development suggestion agitation production overlaps, the game effect lamp 9 in the SPSP development suggestion agitation production has a higher priority than the one-shot reversal agitation production. Controls lighting and outputs sound effects. First, (F1) circles of dotted lines including the character display of "SPSP development" are displayed one by one on the left and right and start to move, and (F2) each circle collides with the center of the display area of the image display device 5. and (F3) the circles are merged into a single solid line circle.

After that, when the SPSP ready-to-win production is developed (when the SPSP development suggesting agitation production is successful), (F4) the SPSP development-suggesting forewarning effect for informing that the SPSP ready-to-win production will develop is executed. At this time, the image corresponding to the SPSP development suggestion advance notice effect has a higher display priority than the images excluding the active display (the background image, the friend character, the enemy character A, the decoration pattern, and the image in the one-shot reversal fan effect) and is displayed on the entire surface. By doing so, only the image corresponding to the SPSP development suggestive notice effect and the active display are visible. Then, (F5) the boss character is displayed to start the SPSP ready-to-win effect.

In addition, if the SPSP development suggesting agitation production is performed, if it does not develop into the SPSP reach production, (F6) a falling circle of practice is displayed to indicate that the SPSP development suggestion agitation production has failed, and (F7) super reach. And the one-shot reversal fanning production continues as it is. In this way, the effect image of the SPSP development suggestive agitation effect and the SPSP development suggestion preview effect have a higher display priority than the effect image of the one-shot reversal fan effect and the one-shot reversal forewarning effect.

Next, timing charts showing execution timings of effects will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-18 and 8-19.

FIGS. 8-18 and 8-19 are explanatory diagrams showing timing charts showing execution timings of effects in the first embodiment. The timing chart of FIG. 8-18(A) shows super reach fluctuation (any of fluctuation patterns PA2-1, PA2-2, PA4-1, PA4-2), and execution of the active change notice effect is determined. It shows the execution timing of each effect in the case of.

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect is started at the timing after a predetermined period has passed since the start of the fluctuation. After 5 seconds from the start of the super ready-to-win performance, the active change fanning performance is performed for 3 seconds, and the active change notice performance is executed. At this time, since execution of the development suggestion fanning effect is not scheduled, the active change notice effect of the first mode is performed. In this embodiment, the execution period of the active change notice effect of the first mode is 7 seconds.

The timing chart of FIG. 8-18(B) is SPSP reach fluctuation (either of the fluctuation patterns PA2-3 and PA4-3), and the execution of each effect when the execution of the active change notice effect has not been determined. showing the timing.

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started at the timing after a predetermined period of time has passed since the start of the fluctuation. After 14 seconds from the start of the super ready-to-win performance (first half), the development suggestive agitation performance is performed for 2 seconds, and the development suggestion forewarning performance is performed for 30 seconds. After that, it develops into SPSP reach variation.

The timing chart of FIG. 8-18(C) shows the SPSP reach fluctuation (either of the fluctuation patterns PA2-3 and PA4-3), and the execution of each effect when the execution of the active change notice effect has been determined. showing the timing.

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started at the timing after a predetermined period of time has passed since the start of the fluctuation. After 14 seconds from the start of the super ready-to-win performance (first half), the development suggestive agitation performance is performed for 2 seconds, and the development suggestion forewarning performance is performed for 30 seconds. After that, it develops into SPSP reach variation. In addition, after 8 seconds from the start of the super ready-to-win production (first half), the active change fanning production is performed. Referring to the timing charts of FIGS. 8-18 (A) and (B), since the execution period of the active change forewarning effect of the first mode overlaps with the execution period of the development suggestion inciting effect, instead of the first mode, The active change forewarning effect of the second mode is executed for one second. Then, after the execution of the active change inciting effect is completed, the execution of the development suggestion inciting effect is started. As a result, it is possible to prevent the active change inciting effect and the development suggesting inciting effect from being performed in duplicate at the same time, thereby preventing the decrease in the effect of the effect.

Referring to the timing charts of FIGS. 8-18 (A) and (C), the timing common to the case of executing the first mode active change notice effect and the case of executing the second mode active change notice effect , the execution of the active change notice effect is started.

The timing chart of FIG. 8-19 is SPSP reach fluctuation (either of the fluctuation patterns PA2-3 and PA4-3), and the execution timing of each effect when execution of the one-shot reversal notice effect is determined. showing.

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect (first half) is started at the timing after a predetermined period of time has passed since the start of the fluctuation. After 14 seconds from the start of the super ready-to-win performance (first half), the development suggestive agitation performance is performed for 2 seconds, and the development suggestion forewarning performance is performed for 30 seconds. After that, it develops into SPSP reach variation.

In addition, after 8 seconds from the start of the super reach performance (first half), a one-shot reversal fanning performance is performed. Here, a one-shot reverse fanning production (8 seconds in total) including a first cheering production for 2 seconds, a second cheering production for 2 seconds, and a third cheering production for 4 seconds is performed. . The third cheering production partly overlaps with the execution period of the development-suggestion-inciting production. In this way, the third cheering effect has a longer execution period than the first and second cheering effects. As a result, it is possible to heighten expectations for the performance of the one-shot reversal forewarning effect. Then, the one-shot reversal forewarning performance is executed for 5 seconds from the timing when the one-shot reverse fanning performance ends.

In addition, after 8 seconds from the start of the SPSP ready-to-win production, a one-shot reversal fanning production is performed. Here, a one-shot reverse fanning performance including a first cheering performance for 2 seconds, a second cheering performance for 2 seconds, and a third cheering performance for 4 seconds is performed. In this way, the third cheering effect has a longer execution period than the first and second cheering effects. As a result, it is possible to heighten expectations for the performance of the one-shot reversal notice performance, and secure the performance period when the SPSP development agitation performance fails (when the SPSP ready-to-win performance is not developed). Then, the one-shot reversal forewarning performance is executed for 5 seconds from the timing when the one-shot reverse fanning performance ends.

Thus, the length of the execution period of the one-shot reversal fanning effect is common between the super ready-to-win effect (first half) and the SPSP ready-to-win effect. Also, the super ready-to-win effect (first half) and the SPSP ready-to-win effect have the same effect mode of the one-shot reversal fan effect. Incidentally, in the super ready-to-win production (first half) and the SPSP ready-to-win production, it is possible to execute a common production (one-shot reversal fanning production and one-shot reversal notice production), and different productions can be executed respectively. For example, in the super reach effect (first half), it is possible to execute a cut-in notice effect immediately before notifying the variable display result, while in the SPSP reach effect, instead of executing the cut-in notice effect, the lever notice effect (super reach effect Effect that is not executed in the (first half) can be executed.

Also, although illustration is omitted, the length of the one-shot reversal fanning effect execution period and the effect mode are common between the super ready-to-win effect (first half) and the super ready-to-win effect (second half).

In addition, the title of the super ready-to-win effect is displayed during the period from the start of the super ready-to-win effect until 8 seconds elapse, and the SPSP ready-to-win effect is displayed during the period from the start of the SPSP ready-to-win effect to the elapse of 8 seconds. The title of the production is displayed, and in the title display A for the super ready-to-win production and the title display B for the SPSP ready-to-win production, the display mode of the title and the production mode of the title mode change notice effect that changes the display mode of the title. It is configured so that the display mode (for example, color) of the title after the change is different.

For example, an image (for example, a star image) indicating the reliability of the super reach effect is not displayed together with the title display A, while an image (for example, a star image) indicating the reliability of the super reach effect is displayed together with the title display B. good.

Further, for example, as a title mode change notice effect for title display A, a mini character hits the title with a hammer and the display mode (for example, color) of the title changes (see FIGS. 10-4 and 10-5 described later). On the other hand, it is possible to change the display mode of the title at the same time as the title is displayed as the title mode change notice effect for the title display B (that is, to make it appear as if the title is displayed in the changed mode). .

Further, for example, the display mode of the title display that can be changed when the title mode change notice effect is performed for the title display A, and the display mode of the title display that can be changed when the title mode change notice effect is performed for the title display B. It may be different from the aspect.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the characteristic portion 003IW will be described. In this embodiment, the detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first embodiment will be omitted, and mainly the parts different from the first embodiment will be described.

(Variation pattern table)
In the second embodiment, the variation patterns shown in FIG. 9-1 are provided. As shown in FIG. 9-1, as a variation pattern when the variable display result is a failure, a variation pattern PB1-1 in which the content of the effect is non-reach failure (normal variation failure) and the variation time is 5 seconds, A variation pattern PB1-2 in which the performance content is non-reach failure (normal variation failure) and the variation time is as short as 1.5 seconds, and a variation pattern PB1-3 in which the performance content is normal reach failure and the variation time is 30 seconds. , and variation patterns PB2-1 to PB2-3 in which the content of the effect is Super Reach Loss. The variation time of variation pattern PB2-1 is 90 seconds, the variation time of variation pattern PB2-2 is 120 seconds, and the variation time of variation pattern PB2-3 is 150 seconds.

Also, as shown in FIG. 9-1, as variation patterns when the variable display result is a big hit, a variation pattern PB3-1 in which the effect content is a normal reach jackpot and the variation time is 30 seconds, and a change pattern PB3-1 in which the effect content is a super hit Variation patterns PB4-1 to PB4-3, which are reach jackpots, are provided. The variation time of variation pattern PB4-1 is 90 seconds, the variation time of variation pattern PB4-2 is 120 seconds, and the variation time of variation pattern PB4-3 is 150 seconds.

In the variation accompanying the super reach production, when performing only the super reach production (SP reach), when developing from the super reach production to the SPSP reach production A (SP reach → SPSP reach A), and from the super reach production to the SPSP reach There is a case where it develops to production B (SP reach → SPSP reach B). In the SPSP ready-to-win production A and the SPSP ready-to-win production B, lines may be displayed according to the progress of the production. In the SPSP ready-to-win effect A, the words A are displayed at the timing A, the words B are displayed at the timing B later than the timing B, and the words C are displayed at the timing C later than the timing B. In SPSP ready-to-win effect B, dialogue D is displayed at timing D.

As shown in the figure, in the variation where the variable display result is out, when the low base state and the number of reserved memories are less than 3, the variation pattern PB1-1 is selected at a rate of 60%, and the variation pattern PB1-1 is selected at a rate of 20%. The variation pattern PB1-3 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PB2-1 is selected at a rate of 7%, the variation pattern PB2-2 is selected at a rate of 7%, and the variation pattern PB2-3 is selected at a rate of 3%. is selected. In the variation where the variable display result is out, when the low base state and the number of pending memories is 3 or more, or when the high base state, the variation pattern PB1-2 is selected at a rate of 60%. , The variation pattern PB1-3 is selected at a rate of 20%, the variation pattern PB2-1 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PB2-2 is selected at a rate of 7%, and the variation pattern at a rate of 3% PB2-3 is selected.

Also, as shown in the figure, in the variation where the variable display result is a big hit, the variation pattern PB3-1 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PB4-1 is selected at a rate of 20%, and the variation pattern PB4-1 is selected at a rate of 30%. Variation pattern PB4-2 is selected, and variation pattern PB4-3 is selected at a rate of 40%.

Since the selection ratio of each variation pattern is determined in this manner, the degree of reliability for controlling for a big hit is super ready-to-win effect<SPSP ready-to-win effect A<SPSP ready-to-win effect B.

One of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 9-1 is selected in the above-described variation pattern setting process (step S111).

(Notice effect setting process)
FIG. 9-2 is a flow chart showing the advance notice effect setting process (step 003IWS804) in the second embodiment. In the advance notice effect setting processing in this embodiment, settings relating to the active change notice effect, the one-shot reversal notice effect, the dialog mode change notice effect, the light guide plate notice effect, and the zone notice effect are set. The active change notice effect is a effect suggesting the degree of expectation for controlling the big win by changing the display mode of the active display. In this embodiment, as display modes of the active display, a first mode (white), a second mode (red), and a third mode (gold), which are different in display color, are provided. The degree of expectation for a big hit is first mode<second mode<third mode. The display mode of the active display at the start of the fluctuation is the first mode, and can be changed to the second mode or the third mode by performing the active change notice effect.

The one-shot reversal notice effect is an effect that suggests the degree of expectation for a big hit control by displaying an image including a character display of "one-shot reversal" in the entire display area of the image display device 5. - 特許庁In addition, it is configured to be able to execute a one-shot reversal inciting effect that suggests execution of the one-shot reversal notice effect, and by performing the one-shot reverse inciting effect, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the execution of the one-shot reversal notice effect. It is configured. The production mode of the one-shot reversal forewarning effect and the one-shot reverse fanning production in the second embodiment is the same as the one-shot reversal forewarning production and the one-shot reverse fanning production in the first embodiment (Fig. 8-14 and Figures 8-15).

The dialogue mode change notice effect is a notice effect of changing the display mode (character color of the dialogue) displayed according to the progress of the SPSP ready-to-win effect. As the display mode of the dialogue display, the first mode (white), the second mode (red), the third mode (gold), and the fourth mode (rainbow) are provided. It is configured to be displayed in the first mode, and to change to another mode by performing the speech mode change notice effect. It is possible to execute the dialog mode change inciting effect immediately before performing the dialog mode change forewarning effect. The dialogue mode change inciting effect is a performance that suggests execution of a dialogue mode change forewarning effect. Specifically, it is an effect of displaying an image of falling meteors in the display area where the words are displayed.

A first timing during the display period of the dialogue A and a second timing during the display period of the dialogue B are provided as execution timings of the speech mode change notice performance in the SPSP ready-to-win performance A. Further, a third timing during the display period of the dialogue D is provided as the execution timing of the speech mode change notice performance in the SPSP ready-to-win performance B. The dialog mode change notice effect at the first timing is "first dialog mode change notice effect", the dialog mode change notice effect at the second timing is "second dialog mode change notice effect", and the dialogue mode change notice effect at the third timing. There is a case of "third line mode change notice effect". In addition, the dialog mode inciting notice effect for the first dialog mode change notice effect is started at timing T1, the dialog mode encouragement notice effect for the second dialog mode change notice effect is started at timing T2, and the dialog mode encouragement notice effect for the third dialog mode change notice effect is started at timing T2. The dialogue mode inciting forewarning effect is started from timing T3.

The light guide plate notice effect is a game comprising a light guide plate (acrylic plate) provided in front (on the player side) of the image display device 5 and a light emitting member at a position where light can be incident on the end face of the light guide plate. By causing the light-emitting member to emit light, the incident light from the light-emitting member entering the inside from the end face of the light guide plate is guided by the reflecting portion provided inside the light guide plate. Information is displayed by emitting light from the front.

The zone notice effect is a effect for notifying that the game has entered a special zone with a high degree of reliability for a big hit. Concretely, the character display of "special zone" is performed in a specific display area of the image display device 5 from the timing when the zone notice effect is started to the end of the fluctuation, thereby controlling the zone effect. is to be notified. In addition, it is possible to execute the zone fan effect just before performing the zone announcement effect.

In the notice effect setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first performs an active change notice execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the active change notice effect (step 003IWS901A). Specifically, the active change notice execution lottery is performed using the active change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(A).

FIG. 9-3(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an active change notice execution lottery table. In the active change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(A), a determination value for whether or not to execute the active change notice effect is assigned for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is the SPSP reach jackpot (jackpot variation accompanied by the SPSP reach effect), it is decided to execute the active change notice effect at a rate of 70%, and the active change notice effect is executed at a rate of 30%. decide not to. Also, for example, if the variable display result is SPSP reach loss (loss variation accompanied by SPSP reach effect), it is decided to execute the active change notice effect at a rate of 40%, and the active change notice effect is performed at a rate of 60%. Decide not to do it. Also, for example, when the variable display result is other (variation without SPSP ready-to-win effect), it is determined not to execute the active change notice effect at a rate of 100%.

In this way, in the variation accompanying the SPSP ready-to-win effect, the active change notice effect can be executed at a higher rate in the case of a big hit than in the case of a loss. As a result, the active change notice effect is a effect with a high degree of expectation for the big hit.

When it is decided to execute the active change notice effect (Y of step 003IWS901B), the effect control CPU 120 performs an active mode determination lottery for determining the change mode of the active display after the change (step 003IWS901C). Specifically, the active mode determination lottery is performed using the active mode lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(B).

FIG. 9-3(B) is an explanatory diagram showing an active mode determination lottery table. In the active mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(B), a determination value is assigned to the changed active display display mode (red, gold, rainbow) for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, the display mode of the active display after the change is determined to be red at a rate of 20%, gold at a rate of 30%, and rainbow at a rate of 50%. If the result of the variable display is a failure, red is determined at a rate of 60% and gold at a rate of 40% as the display mode of the active display after the change. In this way, when the active display changes to a rainbow, it is notified that the change is a big win.

After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect according to the lottery result (step 003IWS901D), and determines whether or not the variation pattern accompanies the SPSP ready-to-win effect A (step 003IWS901E). If the variation pattern accompanies the SPSP ready-to-win effect A, a lottery for execution of the first-line mode change notice is performed to determine whether or not the first-line mode change notice effect is to be executed (step 003 IWS 902). Specifically, the lottery for execution of the first speech manner change notice is performed using the first speech manner change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(C).

FIG. 9-3(C) is an explanatory diagram showing a lottery table for execution of the first dialogue mode change notice. In the first dialogue mode change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(C), a determination value for whether or not the first dialogue mode change notice effect is executed is assigned for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the first dialogue mode change notice performance at a rate of 70%, and not to execute the first dialogue mode change notice performance at a rate of 30%. . Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the first dialogue mode change notice effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the first dialogue mode change notice effect at a rate of 60%. do.

In this way, it is configured to be able to execute the first line mode change notice effect at a higher rate in the case of a big hit than in the case of a loss. As a result, the first line mode change notice effect is a effect with a high degree of expectation for the big win.

When it is determined to execute the first dialogue mode change notice effect (Y in step 003 IWS 903), the effect control CPU 120 determines the display mode of the dialogue display after the change in the first dialogue mode change notice effect. A lottery for determining the mode of dialogue is performed (step 003 IWS 904). Specifically, a dialogue mode determination lottery is performed using a dialogue mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(D).

FIG. 9-3(D) is an explanatory diagram showing a dialogue mode determination lottery table. In the dialogue mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(B), a judgment value is assigned to the display mode of the dialogue display after the change (no change, red, gold, rainbow) for each variable display result (big hit, lose). ing.

For example, if the variable display result is a big hit, no change at a rate of 10%, red at a rate of 20%, gold at a rate of 30%, rainbow at a rate of 40%, and dialogue display after change. Determine the display mode. If the variable display result is a failure, no change at a rate of 50%, red at a rate of 30%, gold at a rate of 20%, rainbow at a rate of 0%, and display mode of dialogue display after change. Determined as In this way, when the dialogue display changes to a rainbow, it is notified that the game is a big hit.

After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect (the first dialog mode change notice effect and the dialog mode change inciting effect) according to the lottery result (step 003 IWS 905), and the display mode of the dialog display after the change is the rainbow first. It is determined whether or not to execute any one of the dialog mode change notice effect and the display mode of the active display after the change, the rainbow active change notice effect (step 003 IWS906, S907). , step 003 to the IWS 914 .

Thus, when the display mode of the changed dialogue display is to execute the rainbow first dialogue mode change notice effect, execution of the second dialogue mode change notice effect is restricted (prohibited). It should be noted that the restriction mode is not limited to the one that is prohibited. A configuration may be adopted in which the proportion of execution of the second line mode change forenotice effect is low compared to the case where the first line mode change forenotice effect is not executed.

When neither the first dialog mode change notice effect in which the display mode of the changed dialogue display is rainbow nor the active change notice effect in which the display mode of the active display after change is rainbow is performed, the second dialogue mode change notice effect is performed. A lottery for execution of the second dialogue mode change notice is performed to determine whether or not to execute (step 003 IWS 908). Concretely, the lottery for execution of the second speech manner change notice is performed using the second speech manner change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(E).

FIG. 9-3(E) is an explanatory diagram showing a lottery table for execution of the second dialogue mode change notice. In the second dialogue mode change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(E), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the second dialogue mode change notice effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the first dialogue mode change notice performance at a rate of 80% and not to execute the first dialogue mode change notice performance at a rate of 20%. . Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the first dialogue mode change notice effect at a rate of 30%, and not to execute the first dialogue mode change notice effect at a rate of 70%. do.

In this way, it is configured such that the second line mode change foretelling effect can be executed at a higher rate in the case of a big hit than in the case of a loss. As a result, the second line mode change notice effect is a effect with a high degree of expectation for the big win.

Further, when comparing FIGS. 9-3(C) and (E), the execution ratio of the second dialogue mode change notice effect is higher than the execution ratio of the first dialogue mode change notice effect. In this way, by constructing so that the execution ratio of the dialogue mode change notice effect increases as the SPSP ready-to-win effect progresses, it is possible to improve interest.

When it is determined to execute the second dialogue mode change notice effect (Y in step 003 IWS909), the effect control CPU 120 determines the display mode of the dialogue display after the change in the second dialogue mode change notice effect. A lottery for determining the mode of dialogue is performed (step 003 IWS 910). Concretely, the dialog mode determination lottery is performed using the dialog mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(D).

After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effects (the first dialogue mode change notice effect and the dialogue mode change incitement effect) according to the lottery result (step 003 IWS911), and determines whether or not to execute the one-shot reversal notice effect. (step 003 IWS 912). Specifically, the one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery is performed using the one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(G).

FIG. 9-3(G) is an explanatory diagram showing a one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table. In the one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(G), a judgment value is assigned to whether or not the one-shot reversal notice effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the one-shot reversal foretelling effect at a rate of 80%, and not to execute the one-shot reversal foretelling effect at a rate of 20%. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the one-shot reversal foretelling effect at a rate of 30%, and not to execute the one-shot reverse foretelling effect at a rate of 70%.

The effect control CPU 120 sets effects (one-shot reversal notice effect and one-shot reverse fanning effect) according to the lottery result (step 003 IWS 913), and executes the light guide plate notice effect for determining whether or not to execute the light guide plate notice effect. A lottery is conducted (step 003 IWS 914). Specifically, the light guide plate advance notice execution lottery is performed using the light guide plate advance notice execution lottery tables shown in FIGS. 9-3 (F1) and (F2).

FIGS. 9-3 (F1) and (F2) are explanatory diagrams showing a light guide plate advance notice execution lottery table. In the light guide plate notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3 (F1), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the light guide plate notice effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

The light guide plate announcement execution lottery table A shown in FIG. 9-3 (F1) is a table that is used only when execution of the second dialogue mode change announcement effect is not determined. For example, when using the light guide plate advance notice execution lottery table A shown in FIG. It is decided not to execute the light guide plate announcement effect at the ratio of . Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the light guide plate forewarning effect at a rate of 40% and not to execute the light guide plate forecast effect at a rate of 60%.

The light guide plate announcement execution lottery table B shown in FIG. 9-3 (F2) is a table that is used only when execution of the second dialogue mode change announcement effect is determined. For example, when using the light guide plate advance notice execution lottery table B shown in FIG. It is determined not to execute the light guide plate announcement effect at a ratio of . Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the light guide plate forewarning effect at a rate of 0% and not to execute the light guide plate forecast effect at a rate of 100%.

As a result, when both the second dialogue state change notice effect and the light guide plate notice effect are performed in the SPSP ready-to-win effect A, it is decided to control for a big hit. As described above, the reliability of the big hit is SPSP ready-to-win effect A<SPSP ready-to-win effect B. However, if it is limited to the case where both the second line state change notice effect and the light guide plate notice effect are performed, the big win reliability SPSP ready-to-win production A>SPSP ready-to-win production B is reversed.

The effect control CPU 120 sets the effect (light guide plate announcement effect) according to the lottery result (step 003IWS915), and proceeds to step 003IWS923.

In step 003IWS901E, if the variation pattern is not accompanied by SPSP reach effect A, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variation pattern is accompanied by SPSP reach effect B (step 003IWS916). If the variation pattern does not involve the SPSP ready-to-win effect B, the process is terminated as it is. If the variation pattern accompanies the SPSP ready-to-win performance B, a lottery for execution of the third dialogue/light guide plate announcement is performed for determining a combination of execution/non-execution of the third dialogue mode change announcement performance and the light guide plate announcement performance. Specifically, the third dialogue/light guide plate advance notice execution lottery is performed using the third dialogue/light guide plate advance notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(H).

FIG. 9-3(H) is an explanatory diagram showing a third line/light guide plate announcement execution lottery table. In the third dialogue/light guide plate notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. Judgment value is assigned.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute both the third dialogue mode change notice effect and the light guide plate notice effect at a rate of 40%, and the third dialogue mode change notice effect at a rate of 30%. and decide not to execute the light guide plate notice effect, decide not to execute the light guide plate notice effect at a rate of 20%, and decide not to execute the third dialogue mode change notice effect at a rate of 10%. It is decided not to execute both the speech mode change notice effect and the light guide plate notice effect.

Further, for example, if the result of the variable display is a failure, it is decided to execute both the third line mode change notice effect and the light guide plate change notice effect at a rate of 10%, and the third line mode change notice effect at a rate of 20%. Decide not to execute the light guide plate notice effect while executing the effect, decide not to execute the light guide plate notice effect at a rate of 30% and not execute the third dialogue mode change notice effect, at a rate of 40% It is decided not to execute both the 3-serif mode change notice effect and the light guide plate notice effect.

When it is decided to execute the third dialogue mode change notice effect (Y in step 003 IWS918), the effect control CPU 120 determines the display mode of the dialogue display after the change in the third dialogue mode change notice effect. A lottery for determining the mode of speech is performed (step 003 IWS919). Concretely, the dialog mode determination lottery is performed using the dialog mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(D).

After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect (first dialogue mode change notice effect and dialogue mode change stimulating effect, one-shot reversal notice effect and one-shot reverse stimulating effect) according to the lottery result (step 003 IWS 920). A one-shot reversal notice execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the reversal notice effect is performed (step 003 IWS921). Specifically, the one-shot reversal notice execution lottery is performed using the one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(G).

The effect control CPU 120 sets effects (one-shot reversal notice effect and one-shot reverse fanning effect) according to the result of the lottery (step 003 IWS922), and performs a zone notice execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the zone notice effect. (step 003 IWS 923). Specifically, the zone advance notice execution lottery is performed using the zone advance notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(I).

FIG. 9-3(I) is an explanatory diagram showing a zone announcement execution lottery table. In the zone announcement execution lottery table shown in FIG. 9-3(I), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the zone announcement effect is executed for each variable display result (big win, loss).

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the zone advance notice effect at a rate of 70%, and not to execute the zone notice effect at a rate of 30%. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the zone advance notice effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the zone notice effect at a rate of 60%.

The effect control CPU 120 sets effects (zone advance notice effect and zone fan effect) according to the lottery result (step 003 IWS924), and ends the process.

Next, display examples on the image display device 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9-4 to 9-8.

FIG. 9-4 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the image display device 5 at timing T1. As shown in FIG. 9-4, (A1) an ally character and an enemy character A are displayed, and a line A saying "I'll settle things down!" Displayed in white characters. Then, after (A2) the effect of changing the mode of dialogue with flowing meteors is performed, (A3) an effect is displayed in the dialogue display area, and (A4) when the effect display ends, the text color of dialogue A changes from white to red. As a result, the speech mode change notice effect is performed. After that, (A5) the lines are switched according to the progress of the SPSP ready-to-win effect A. At this time, the character color of the serif remains red. In addition, when the speech mode change inciting effect and the speech mode change forewarning effect are not performed, (A6) the dialogue is switched according to the progress of the SPSP ready-to-win effect A as it is. At this time, the character color of the serif remains white.

FIG. 9-5 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the image display device 5 at timing T2 when the light guide plate announcement effect is not executed. As shown in FIG. 9-5, (B1) an ally character is displayed, and a line B "Are you sure this is okay?" Then, after (B2) the effect of changing the mode of dialogue with flowing meteors is performed, (B3) an effect is displayed in the dialogue display area, and (B4) when the effect display ends, the text color of dialogue B changes from white to red. As a result, the speech mode change notice effect is performed.

In this example, when the dialog mode change inciting effect is performed, the dialog mode change notice effect is always performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. There may be provided a success pattern in which the announcement effect is performed and a failure pattern in which the dialogue mode change stimulating effect is performed but the dialogue mode change stimulating effect is not executed (that is, the dialogue mode change false effect). Further, in the case of a configuration capable of executing the dialogue mode change mock effect, the execution ratio of the dialogue mode change mock effect may be higher at timing T1 than at timing T2.

In addition, when the light guide plate forewarning effect is executed at the timing T2, the execution ratio of the dialogue mode change hype effect may be low compared to the case where the light guide plate forewarning effect is not executed.

FIG. 9-6 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the image display device 5 during execution of the light guide plate forewarning effect. Here, a light guide plate that is one size larger than the image display device 5 is set on the front side (player side) of the image display device 5 . As shown in FIG. 9-6, (C1) the image displayed on the image display device 5 can be visually recognized when the light guide plate announcement effect is not performed. (C2) When the light guide plate notice effect is executed, the image display device 5 is first mask-displayed, and (C3) the character pattern is projected on the light guide plate to perform the light guide plate notice effect. Here, the visibility of the light guide plate announcement effect is enhanced by projecting the pattern on the light guide plate after displaying the mask.

FIGS. 9-7 and 9-8 are explanatory diagrams showing display examples of the image display device 5 at timing T2 when the light guide plate forewarning effect is executed. As shown in FIGS. 9-7 and 9-8, (D1) the teammate character is displayed, and the line B of "Are you okay with this?" displayed. Then, (D2) the image display device 5 is mask-displayed, and (D3) the character pattern is projected on the light guide plate, so that the light guide plate announcement effect is performed. In (D3), the display of the image display device 5 (especially the dialogue display) becomes difficult to see due to the display of the light guide plate forewarning effect. Also, while the light guide plate forewarning effect is being executed, the dialogue mode change stimulating effect is started, but during the period (0.5 seconds) during which both the light guide plate foretelling effect and the dialogue mode change stimulating effect are being performed in an overlapping manner. , the display image of the dialogue mode change effect becomes difficult to see due to the light guide plate notice effect. When the light guide plate notice effect is completed, (D4) the easily recognizable dialogue mode change effect is performed for 0.5 seconds. Then, (D5) effect display is performed in the dialogue display area, and (D6) the character color of dialogue B changes from white to red, thereby effecting dialogue mode change notice effect.

In this example, the dialog mode change effect is an effect in which a meteor displayed from the upper right portion of the image display device 5 moves toward the dialog display for one second, and the dialog mode change effect is executed as described above. After 0.5 seconds have elapsed, the image display by the dialogue mode change effect effect becomes easy to see. , can surprise the player.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 9-3 (F1) and (F2), the light guide plate notice effect is a highly reliable effect for a big hit, and also shown in FIGS. As shown, the speech mode change notice effect is a highly reliable effect for the big win, so when both the light guide plate notice effect and the dialog state change notice effect are executed, it can be said that the change is a highly reliable variation for the big win. . Here, referring to FIG. 9-3(D), since the degree of reliability for the big hit indicated by the dialog mode after the change is red < gold, both the light guide plate notice effect and the dialog mode change notice effect are executed. It can be said that the selection ratio of the dialogue mode after the change is red < gold.

In addition, it can be said that the execution of both the light guide plate forewarning performance and the dialog mode change foretelling performance is a more reliable fluctuation for the big win than the case where only the dialog mode change foretelling performance is executed. In other words, the rate at which gold or rainbow, which have high reliability for big wins, is selected as the dialog mode after the change in the dialog mode change notice effect is higher when both the light guide plate notice effect and the dialog mode change notice effect are executed. , is higher than in the case of executing only the dialogue mode change notice effect.

In addition, as the effect mode of the light guide plate announcement effect, a plurality of effect modes with different degrees of reliability for big hits (for example, a mode in which the color illuminated on the light guide plate is different, a mode in which the character displayed on the light guide plate is different, etc.) A plurality of light guide plates having different characters may be provided, and it may be possible to provide a mode)) in which the light is incident on which light guide plate is different. For example, a normal mode with low reliability for big wins and a chance mode with high reliability for big wins may be provided. Since it is a production, when the light guide plate announcement effect is performed in the chance mode, the dialogue mode change announcement effect can be executed at a higher rate than when the light guide plate announcement effect is performed in the normal mode. becomes.

Further, for example, a production mode of the light guide plate forewarning effect may be provided corresponding to each dialogue mode (usually, red, gold, and rainbow) after the change in the dialogue mode change foretelling effect. For example, in the case where a dialog state change notice effect is performed when performing a light guide plate notice effect in which a red image is displayed, the dialogue may be changed to red after the dialogue state change notice effect is executed.

Next, a timing chart showing execution timings of effects in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 9-9. The timing chart of FIG. 9-9(A) shows the variation (either of the variation patterns PB2-2 and PB4-2) accompanying the SPSP ready-to-win effect A, the first line mode change notice effect and the one-shot reversal notice. The execution timing of each effect is shown when execution of the effect, the light guide plate notice effect, the second dialogue mode change notice effect, and the zone notice effect is determined.

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, a super ready-to-win effect is started at a timing after a predetermined period of time has passed since the start of the fluctuation, and an SPSP ready-to-win effect A is started after a specific period of time has passed. At timing T1 during execution of the SPSP ready-to-win production A, the display of the dialogue A is started, and at the same time, the dialogue mode change prompting performance is performed for 1 second, and further, the first dialogue mode change notice performance is performed for 0.6 seconds. done. After the end of the first dialogue mode change notice performance, at the timing during the display of the dialogue A, the one-shot reverse fanning performance is started. The one-shot reversal fanning performance is performed for 6 seconds, and then the one-shot reversal forewarning performance is performed for 5 seconds.

Further, the display of the dialogue B is started at a predetermined timing of the SPSP ready-to-win performance A after the end of the one-shot reversal notice performance. This line B is displayed for 12 seconds. The light guide plate foretelling effect is started one second after the display of the dialogue B is started, and the light guide plate foretelling effect is finished after two seconds. From the timing T2 (timing 2.5 seconds after the display of the dialogue B is started) during execution of the light guide plate forewarning performance, the speech mode change effect is performed for one second. Then, from the timing when the dialogue mode change inciting effect ends (timing 3.5 seconds after the display of the dialogue B is started), the second dialogue mode change foretelling effect is performed for 0.6 seconds. In other words, at least a part of the execution period of the light guide plate forewarning effect and the execution period of the dialogue mode change inciting effect for the second dialogue mode change forewarning effect overlap. Then, after the end of the second dialogue state change notice effect, at the timing during the display of the dialogue A, the zone fan effect is started. The zone fan effect is performed for 2 seconds, and then the zone announcement effect is performed for 6 seconds. Specifically, an image for notifying entry into a special zone is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, thereby effecting zone notice effect. It should be noted that a character string such as "special zone" indicating that the special zone is being controlled is continuously displayed from the execution of the zone announcement effect to the notification of the variable display result. Then, the display of the line C starts at a predetermined timing during execution of the zone announcement effect. Since the presentation effect of the announcement presentation cannot be exhibited sufficiently, the speech change announcement presentation cannot be executed for the speech C.

As described above, in this embodiment, at the same time as the dialog A is displayed, the dialog mode change inciting effect for the first dialog mode change notice effect is started. Although the dialog mode change inciting effect for the dialog mode change notice effect is started, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the same time as displaying the dialogue A, it is possible to execute the dialogue mode change stimulating effect for the first dialogue mode change foretelling effect, and at the same time to display the dialogue B, it is possible to execute the dialogue mode change stimulating effect for the second dialogue mode change foretelling effect. You can do it.

Also, although illustration is omitted, the active change announcement effect is configured to be executed at a timing after the timing T1 and before the timing T2.

In addition, the timing chart of FIG. 9-9(B) shows the variation (either of the variation patterns PB2-3 and PB4-3) accompanied by the SPSP ready-to-win effect B. , and the execution timing of each effect in the case where execution of the third line mode change notice effect and the zone notice effect has been determined.

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect is started at the timing after the lapse of a predetermined period from the start of the fluctuation, and the SPSP ready-to-win effect B is started after the elapse of the specific period. During the execution of the SPSP ready-to-win performance B, the one-shot reverse fanning performance is started. The one-shot reversal fanning performance is performed for 6 seconds, and then the one-shot reversal forewarning performance is performed for 5 seconds. As shown in the figure, the execution timing of the one-shot reversal notice effect is common between when the SPSP ready-to-win effect A is performed and when the SPSP reach effect B is performed. is common).

Further, the light guide plate notice effect is started at a predetermined timing of the SPSP ready-to-win notice effect B after the end of the one-shot reversal notice effect, and the light guide plate notice effect is finished after 2 seconds. As shown in the figure, the execution timing of the light guide plate notice effect is common between when the SPSP reach effect A is performed and when the SPSP reach effect B is performed (the light guide plate notice effect is executed after the SPSP reach effect is started). The period until it is done is common).

After that, at the same time when the display of the dialogue D is started, the dialogue mode change inciting effect is performed for 1 second, and further, the third dialogue mode change announcement effect is performed for 0.6 seconds. Then, at the timing during execution of the third line mode change notice effect, the zone-influence effect is started. The zone fan effect is performed for 2 seconds, and then the zone announcement effect is performed for 6 seconds. As shown in the figure, when the SPSP reach effect A is performed and when the SPSP reach effect B is performed, the execution timing of the zone notice effect is common (from the start of the SPSP reach effect to the execution of the zone notice effect). period is common).

In this way, the first dialogue mode change stimulating effect and the third dialogue mode change stimulating effect are started at the timing when the dialogue A and the dialogue C are displayed, while the second dialogue mode change stimulating effect is started at the timing when the dialogue is displayed. It starts when B is displayed.

[Third embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the characteristic portion 003IW will be described. In this embodiment, the detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first embodiment will be omitted, and mainly the parts different from the first embodiment will be described.

(Variation pattern table)
In the third embodiment, the variation patterns shown in FIG. 10-1 are provided. As shown in FIG. 10-1, as a variation pattern when the variable display result is a loss, a variation pattern PC1-1 in which the effect content is non-reach failure (normal variation failure) and the variation time is 5 seconds, A variation pattern PC1-2 in which the performance content is non-reach failure (normal variation failure) and the variation time is as short as 1.5 seconds, and a variation pattern PC1-3 in which the performance content is normal reach failure and the variation time is 30 seconds. , and variation patterns PC2-1 to PC2-3 in which the content of the effect is Super Reach Loss. The variation time of variation pattern PC2-1 is 80 seconds, the variation time of variation pattern PC2-2 is 60 seconds, and the variation time of variation pattern PC2-3 is 90 seconds.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10-1, as a variation pattern when the variable display result is a big hit, a variation pattern PC3-1 in which the effect content is a normal reach jackpot and the variation time is 30 seconds, and a variation pattern PC3-1 in which the effect content is a super hit Variation patterns PC4-1 to PB4-3, which are reach jackpots, are provided. The variation time of variation pattern PC4-1 is 80 seconds, the variation time of variation pattern PC4-2 is 60 seconds, and the variation time of variation pattern PC4-3 is 90 seconds.

In the variation accompanying the super reach production, when super reach production A is performed (SP reach A), when only the first half of super reach production B is performed (SP reach B (first half only)), and the first half of super reach production B and second half (SP reach B (first half + second half)). When each super ready-to-win effect is started, a title display corresponding to the type of the super ready-to-win effect is displayed on the image display device 5.例文帳に追加

As shown in the figure, in the variation where the variable display result is out, when the low base state and the number of reserved memories are less than 3, the variation pattern PC1-1 is selected at a rate of 60%, and the variation pattern PC1-1 is selected at a rate of 20%. The variation pattern PC1-3 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PC2-1 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PC2-2 is selected at a rate of 7%, and the variation pattern PC2-3 at a rate of 3% is selected. In the variation where the variable display result is out, when the low base state and the number of pending memories is 3 or more, or when the high base state, the variation pattern PC1-2 is selected at a rate of 60%. , The variation pattern PC1-3 is selected at a rate of 20%, the variation pattern PC2-1 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PC2-2 is selected at a rate of 7%, and the variation pattern at a rate of 3% PC2-3 is selected.

Also, as shown in the figure, in the variation where the variable display result is a big hit, the variation pattern PC3-1 is selected at a rate of 10%, the variation pattern PC4-1 is selected at a rate of 20%, and the variation pattern PC4-1 is selected at a rate of 30%. Variation pattern PC4-2 is selected, and variation pattern PC4-3 is selected at a rate of 40%.

Since the selection ratio of each variation pattern is determined in this way, the reliability for controlling the big hit is super reach effect A<super reach effect B (first half only)<super reach effect B (first half + second half) It has become.

It should be noted that both the first half and the latter half of the super ready-to-win effect A can be executed, and both a variation pattern in which only the first half of the super ready-to-win effect A is performed and a variation pattern in which both the first half and the latter half of the super ready-to-win effect A are performed. may be provided.

(Notice effect setting process)
FIG. 10-2 is a flow chart showing the advance notice effect setting process (step 003IWS804) in the third embodiment. In the advance notice effect setting processing in this embodiment, settings relating to the title mode change notice effect, the active change notice effect, and the one-shot reversal notice effect are performed.

The title mode change notice effect is a effect that suggests the degree of expectation for controlling the big win by changing the display mode of the title display in the super ready-to-win effect. In this embodiment, a first mode (white), a second mode (red), and a third mode (gold), which are different in display color, are provided as the display mode of the title display. The degree of expectation for a big hit is first mode<second mode<third mode. The display mode of the title display at the start of variation is the first mode, and can be changed to the second mode or the third mode by performing the title mode change notice effect.

The active change notice effect is a effect suggesting the degree of expectation for controlling the big win by changing the display mode of the active display. In this embodiment, as display modes of active display, a first mode (white), a second mode (red), and a third mode (gold) having different display colors are provided. The degree of expectation for a big hit is first mode<second mode<third mode. The display mode of the active display at the start of the fluctuation is the first mode, and can be changed to the second mode or the third mode by performing the active change notice effect.

As an effect mode of the active change notice effect, a first mode in which the display mode of the active display changes after displaying a predetermined image (an image with a character display of "active change challenge") in the entire display area of the image display device 5. and a second mode in which the display mode of the active display changes after the specific image (lightning strikes the active display from the cloud that has flowed) is displayed in part of the display area of the image display device 5. It is Further, it is possible to execute an active change inciting effect suggesting the execution of the first aspect of the active change inciting effect, and by performing the active change inciting effect, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the change in the display mode of the active display. It is configured.

It should be noted that when the active change notice effect of the first mode is performed and when the active change notice effect of the second mode is performed, a common specific sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and a common light emission pattern is used. to make the game effect lamp 9 emit light. In addition, when the active state change notice effect is performed in the super reach effect A and when the active state change notice effect is performed in the super reach effect B, a common specific sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and is common. The game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in a light emission pattern that

The one-shot reversal notice effect is an effect that suggests the degree of expectation for a big hit control by displaying an image including a character display of "one-shot reversal" in the entire display area of the image display device 5. - 特許庁In addition, it is configured to be able to execute a one-shot reversal inciting effect that suggests execution of the one-shot reversal notice effect, and by performing the one-shot reverse inciting effect, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the execution of the one-shot reversal notice effect. It is configured.

In addition, when the one-shot reversal fanning effect is performed in the variation accompanying the super ready-to-win effect B, it is executed in a period partially overlapping with the title display period of the super ready-to-win effect B.

In the notice effect setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the title state change notice effect for determining whether or not to execute the title state change notice effect when the change is accompanied by the super ready-to-win effect A (Y in step 003 IWS 1001). A lottery is conducted (step 003 IWS 1002). Specifically, the title mode change notice execution lottery is performed using the title mode change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(A).

FIG. 10-3(A) is an explanatory diagram showing a title mode change notice execution lottery table. In the title mode change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(A), a determination value is assigned to whether or not the title mode change notice effect is executed for each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the title mode change notice effect at a rate of 70%, and not to execute the title mode change notice effect at a rate of 30%. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the title mode change notice effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the title mode change notice effect at a rate of 60%.

In this way, it is configured such that the title mode change notice effect can be executed at a higher rate in the case of a big hit than in the case of a loss. As a result, the title mode change notice effect is a effect with a high degree of expectation for the big win.

The effect control CPU 120 sets an effect according to the result of the lottery (step 003 IWS 1003), and performs a lottery for announcement execution for determining whether or not to execute the active mode change foretelling effect and the one-shot reversal foretelling effect (step 003 IWS 1004). . Specifically, the announcement execution lottery is performed using the announcement execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(B).

FIG. 10-3(B) is an explanatory diagram showing an announcement execution lottery table. In the notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3 (B), whether or not to execute notice effects for each variable display result (big hit, lose) (execute active mode change notice effects, execute one-shot reversal notice effects, (None of the active state change notice effect and the one-shot reversal notice effect) is assigned.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the active state change notice effect at a rate of 70%, to execute the one-shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 20%, and to execute the notice effect at a rate of 10%. It is determined that neither the active mode change notice effect nor the one-shot reversal notice effect is executed in proportion. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a failure, it is decided to execute the active mode change notice effect at a rate of 5%, to execute the one-shot reversal notice effect at a rate of 10%, and 85%. It is determined that neither the active mode change notice effect nor the one-shot reversal notice effect is executed at the ratio of .

In this way, the reliability of the big hit is as follows: active mode change notice effect>one-shot reversal notice effect. In this example, only one of the active mode change notice effect and the one-shot reverse fanning effect was configured to be executable, but it is not limited to this, and both the active mode change notice effect and the one-shot reverse fanning effect can be performed. may be executable. In that case, the active mode change notice effect may be executed in the second mode.

The effect control CPU 120 sets the effect according to the lottery result (step 003IWS1005), and in the case of variation accompanied by the super ready-to-win effect B (Y in step 003IWS1006), determines whether or not to execute the title mode change notice effect. title mode change notice execution lottery (step 003 IWS 1007). Specifically, the title mode change notice execution lottery is performed using the title mode change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(A).

The effect control CPU 120 sets an effect according to the lottery result (step 003IWS1008), and performs an active mode change effect execution lottery for determining whether or not there is an active mode change effect effect (step 003IWS1009). Specifically, the lottery for execution of active change encouragement is performed using the active change encouragement execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(C).

FIG. 10-3(C) is an explanatory diagram showing an active change encouragement execution lottery table. 10-3(C), the determination value for whether or not to execute the active change effect effect is assigned to each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big win, 70% of the decisions are made to execute the active change effect, and 30% of the decisions are made not to execute the active change effect. Further, for example, when the result of the variable display is a failure, it is determined to execute the active change stimulating effect at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the active change stimulating effect at a rate of 60%.

The effect control CPU 120 sets the effect according to the lottery result (step 003IWS1010), decides to execute the active mode change fan effect (Y in step 003IWS1011), and decides not to execute the title mode change notice effect. If so (Y in step 003IWS1012), the execution of the first mode of active mode change announcement effect is set (step 003IWS1013). Also, even if it is determined to execute the active mode change fan effect, if it is determined to execute the title mode change notice effect (N of step 003 IWS 1012), the active mode change notice effect is not executed. In other words, when the title mode change notice effect is executed, the active mode change notice effect is not executed even if the active mode change inciting effect is executed.

In addition, when the change is accompanied by the first half and the second half of the super ready-to-win effect B (Y in step 003 IWS 1015), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not there is an active mode change notice effect in the latter half of the super ready-to-win effect B. A change notice execution lottery is performed (step 003 IWS 1016). Specifically, the latter half active change notice execution lottery is performed using the latter half active change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(D).

FIG. 10-3(D) is an explanatory diagram showing a lottery table for execution of late active change notice. In the second-half active change notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(D), a determination value for whether or not there is an active mode change notice effect in the second half of the super ready-to-win effect B is assigned for each variable display result (big hit, lose). .

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is decided to execute the active mode change notice performance in the latter half of the super ready-to-win performance B at a rate of 70%, and the active mode in the latter half of the super ready-to-win performance B at a rate of 30%. It decides not to execute the change announcement effect. Further, for example, if the variable display result is a failure, it is determined to execute the active state change notice effect in the latter half of the super reach effect B at a rate of 30%, and the active mode change notice effect in the latter half of the super reach effect B is determined at a rate of 70%. It is decided not to execute the state change announcement effect.

Effect control CPU 120, when it is determined to execute the active state change notice effect, sets the second state of the active state change notice effect (step 003 IWS 1017).

The effect control CPU 120 performs a one-shot reversal notice execution lottery for determining the presence or absence of a one-shot reversal notice effect (step 003IWS1018). Specifically, the one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery is performed using the one-shot reverse prediction execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(E).

FIG. 10-3(E) is an explanatory diagram showing a one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table. In the one-shot reversal notice execution lottery table shown in FIG. 10-3(E), a judgment value for whether or not one-shot reversal notice effect is assigned to each variable display result (big hit, lose).

For example, when the variable display result is a big win, it is decided to execute the one-shot reversal foretelling performance at a rate of 60%, and not to execute the one-shot reversal foretelling performance at a rate of 40%. Further, for example, when the variable display result is a miss, it is decided to execute the one-shot reversal foretelling performance at a rate of 40%, and not to execute the one-shot reversal foretelling performance at a rate of 60%.

In this way, the reliability of the big hit is as follows: active mode change notice effect>one-shot reversal notice effect.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect of the lottery result (step 003 IWS 1019), and ends the process as it is.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect of the lottery result (step 003 IWS 1019), and ends the process as it is.

Next, display examples on the image display device 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-4 to 10-10.

FIG. 10-4 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the title mode change notice effect in the super ready-to-win effect A. FIG. As shown in FIG. 10-4, (A1) the enemy character A and the character display of "It's a game!" and (A2) the title of "vs Character A" is displayed. Then, a mini character walking with a hammer is displayed, and (A3) the mini character hits the title display with a hammer, and the text color of the title display changes from white to red. done. After that, (A4) a display in which the ally character and the enemy character A battle each other is displayed.

FIG. 10-5 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the title mode change notice effect in the super ready-to-win effect B. FIG. As shown in FIG. 10-5, (B1) the enemy character B and the character display of "game death" are displayed substantially in the center of the display area of the image display device 5, thereby starting the introduction effect of the super ready-to-win effect B. , (B2) The title of "vs Character B" is displayed. Then, a display of a mini character walking with a hammer is displayed, and (B3) the mini character hits the title display with the hammer, and the text color of the title display changes from white to red. done. After that, (B4) a display in which the ally character and the enemy character B battle each other is displayed.

Here, a case where both the title mode change notice effect and the active mode change notice effect are performed (NG example) will be described. The execution period of the title mode change notice effect and the execution period of the active mode change notice effect partially overlap, and the display area of the display image in the title mode change notice effect and the display image of the active mode change notice effect are displayed. The display image in the active mode change notice effect has a higher display priority than the display image in the title mode change notice effect. Therefore, if both the title mode change notice effect and the active mode change notice effect are performed in a single change, the display image of the active mode change notice effect will hinder the visibility of the display image of the title mode change notice effect. becomes. Specific examples are shown in FIGS. 10-6 and 10-7.

FIGS. 10-6 and 10-7 are explanations showing display examples (NG examples) of the image display device 5 when both the title mode change notice effect and the active mode change notice effect are performed in a single variation. It is a diagram. As shown in FIG. 10-6, (C1) the enemy character B and the character display of "game death" are displayed substantially in the center of the display area of the image display device 5, thereby starting the introduction effect of the super ready-to-win effect B. , (C2) An image (icon image including character display of "active change challenge") of the active mode change effect effect is displayed as a display having a higher display priority than the display image in the introductory effect.

Next, (C3) The title "vs Character B" is displayed, and a mini character walking with a hammer is displayed. becomes difficult to see. Then, the icon image in the (C4) active mode change fan effect is enlarged and displayed, so that all the images in the title display and the title mode change notice effect become difficult to see. Then, when the active state change notice effect is executed, (C5) effect display is performed on the active display, and (C6) the display state of the active display is changed from white to red. At this time, since the title display and the image display in the title mode change notice effect have already been completed, the player cannot visually recognize the result of the title mode change effect (the display mode of the title display).

Also, (C7) Even if the active mode change effect is not performed, when the active mode change inciting effect ends, the title display and the image display in the title mode change notice effect have already ended. , the result of performing the title mode change effect (display mode of the title display) cannot be visually recognized.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when execution of the title mode change effect is determined, even if the active mode change inciting effect is being performed, the active mode change notice effect is not performed.

FIG. 10-8 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the image display device 5 when executing the active state change notice effect in the super ready-to-win effect A. FIG. (D1) Super reach effect A is started, (D2) friendly character attacks enemy character A, and (D3) an icon image showing text display of "Active change challenge" is displayed on the full screen, so that the first The mode active mode change announcement effect is performed. At this time, the active mode change fan effect is not performed. If the configuration is such that the active mode change stimulus effect can be executed during the execution of the super reach effect A, then three seconds from the timing when the title display ends (the timing at which the execution of the active mode change stimulus effect starts in the super reach effect B). After performing the active mode change inciting effect over the entire period, it develops into the active change notice effect of the first mode (see FIG. 10-11 (A)). It is conceivable that the player can hardly confirm the display, which confuses the player. Therefore, even if the active state change notice effect is executed in the super ready-to-win effect A, the active state change inciting effect is not performed.

In the super ready-to-reach production A, when the active mode change notice effect is executed, the active mode change inciting effect is not performed. can be executed, the manner of showing the active state change notice effect can be changed according to the type of the super ready-to-win effect, and interest can be improved.

Then (D4) the active mode changes from white to red. The display example shown in FIG. 10-8 is the same as the timing chart described later in FIG. 10-11(A).

In this manner, the active state change notice effect of the first mode is performed according to the specific action of the display image in the super ready-to-win effect A. Although not shown, the one-shot reversal effect is also performed in a specific action of the display image in the super reach effect A (the action that is common to the action performed when the first mode of the active mode change notice effect is performed). It is configured to be executed accordingly. As a result, the player can expect which effect will be performed when the specific action is performed.

In (D3), it was explained that the icon image of the active mode change notice effect is displayed on the full screen. , the effect image of the super ready-to-win effect A is output. That is, the display priority of the effect image in the active state change notice effect is higher than that in the super ready-to-win effect A. While this icon image is being displayed, as a production image in the super ready-to-win production A, an image of development in which the enemy character A attacks the allied character after the allied character attacks the enemy character A (image unfavorable to the player). is being output. In other words, when the active mode change notice effect is performed during execution of the super ready-to-win effect A, the image of the unfavorable development for the player is made invisible by the icon image. Since the performance can be progressed without showing the development image, the interest can be improved.

Also, although not shown in the drawings, during the super reach effect, when the friendly character attacks the enemy character A, when the enemy character A attacks the friendly character, and when the variable display result is notified, the super reach effect is performed. At times such as when the first half progresses to the second half, dialogue is displayed according to the development of the production, and the dialogue is displayed during the period (7 seconds) when the icon image of the active mode change notice production is displayed on the full screen. However, during this period, the amount of dialogue displayed is less than during other periods during the super reach effect (for example, 7 seconds after the end of the active mode change notice effect). It is In this way, when the icon image of the active mode change notice effect is displayed during the super ready-to-win effect, by reducing the lines that are difficult to see, it is possible to reduce the sense of discomfort given to the player and proceed with the effect. can.

FIG. 10-9 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the image display device 5 when the active mode change fan effect and the title mode change notice effect are executed in the super ready-to-win effect B. FIG. (E1) The introduction effect of the super ready-to-win effect B is started by displaying the character display of the enemy character B and "game death" substantially in the center of the display area of the image display device 5, and (E2) "active change challenge". The icon image showing the character display of is enlarged and displayed from substantially the center of the image display device 5, so that the effect of changing the active mode is performed. Then, (E3) the title "vs Character B" is displayed, and a mini-character walking with a hammer is displayed, thereby starting the title mode change notice effect. (E4) The icon image showing the character display of "Active change challenge" is displayed on the full screen to complete the active state change notice effect. Visibility becomes difficult. Then, it is notified that the active mode change inciting effect was unsuccessful (as shown in FIG. 10-7 (C7), it is clarified that the active mode change effect will not develop), and (E4) the title of the mini character is displayed. By hitting a hammer on the , the character color of the title display changes from white to red, and a title display mode change notice effect is performed. The display example shown in FIG. 10-9 is the same as the timing chart described later in FIG. 10-11(C).

Further, in this embodiment, when the title mode change notice effect is performed during execution of the super ready-to-win effect B, neither mode of the active mode change notice effect is performed. It may be possible to execute the second aspect of the active aspect change notice effect. For example, FIG. 10-10 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the image display device 5 when performing the title mode change notice effect and the second mode active mode change notice effect during execution of the super ready-to-win effect B. FIG. As shown in FIG. 10-10, (F1) the enemy character B and the character display of "game death" are displayed substantially in the center of the display area of the image display device 5, thereby starting the introduction effect of the super ready-to-win effect B. , (F2) The title of "vs Character B" is displayed. Then, a mini-character walking with a hammer is displayed, and (F3) the mini-character hits the title display with the hammer, and the character color of the title display changes from white to red. done. In addition, (F2) the moving display of the cloud image is started, (F3) the cloud image stops at the upper center of the image display device 5, lightning strikes the active display from the cloud image, and (F4) the active display. is changed from white to red, the second aspect of the active change notice effect is executed. In this way, even when the title mode change notice effect is performed, if the display image of the title mode change notice effect is hindered to the extent that it is visible, the active mode change notice effect of the second mode is executed. You can do it.

Further, in the modification shown in FIG. 10-10, the case where both the title state change notice effect and the second state active state change notice effect are performed during the execution of the super ready-to-win effect B is shown. When performing the title mode change notice effect during the execution of B, it may be possible to execute the active mode change notice effect that is simpler than the second mode. For example, it may be possible to execute an active state change notice effect in which the state of active display suddenly changes (simple mode) without displaying a cloud image or a lightning image. For example, if it is possible to execute the simple mode active mode change notice effect at the timing shown in FIG. , both the title display mode and the active display mode change at the same time when the mini-character hits the hammer.

Next, timing charts showing execution timings of effects in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-11. The timing chart of FIG. 10-11(A) shows a variation (either variation pattern PC2-1 or PC4-1) accompanied by super ready-to-win effect A, and the execution of the first mode active mode change notice effect is determined. It shows the execution timing of each effect in the case where it is. This timing chart also serves as a timing chart for both when the title mode change effect is executed and when it is not executed.

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect A is started at the timing after the lapse of a predetermined period from the start of the fluctuation. In the super ready-to-win effect A, an introductory effect is first performed for 3 seconds, and a title display corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect A is displayed for 2 seconds. When performing the title mode change effect, it is performed during these two seconds. Then, from the timing three seconds after the end of the title display, the first mode of the active mode change announcement effect is performed for seven seconds. As described above, in the variation in which the super ready-to-win effect A is performed, even if the active mode change notice effect is performed, the active mode change inciting effect is not performed.

In addition, the timing chart of FIG. 10-11 (B) is a variation (either variation pattern PC2-3 or PC4-3) accompanied by super reach effect B (first half + second half), and the title mode change effect is performed. Each effect in the case where it is determined that the first mode of the active mode change notice effect is to be executed in the first half of the super ready-to-win effect B, and that the second mode of the active mode change notice effect is to be executed in the latter half of the super ready-to-win effect B. shows the execution timing of

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect B is started at the timing after a predetermined period has passed since the start of the fluctuation. In the super ready-to-win effect B, first, an introduction effect is performed for 7 seconds, and the title display corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect B is displayed for 2 seconds. Also, the active mode change fan effect is started while the introductory effect is being executed, and ends at the timing during the title display three seconds after the start. From the end timing, the active state change notice effect of the first state is performed for 7 seconds. At this time, although the title display corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect B is displayed, the display image of the active state change notice effect of the first mode has a higher display priority than the title display, so it becomes difficult to see. . In addition, after 8 seconds have passed since the second half of the super ready-to-win effect B, the second active mode change forewarning effect is performed for 1 second.

As shown in the figure, in the variation in which the super ready-to-win effect A is performed and the variation in which the super ready-to-win effect B is performed, the execution timing of the active state change notice effect of the first mode is 8 seconds after the super ready-to-win effect is started. are common in

In addition, the timing chart of FIG. 10-11 (C) is a variation (either variation pattern PC2-3 or PC4-3) accompanied by super reach effect B (first half + second half), and execution of title mode change effect is determined, the execution of the active mode change inciting effect in the first half of the super ready-to-win effect B, and the execution of the second mode of the active mode change notice effect in the latter half of the super ready-to-win effect B are determined. shows the execution timing of

After performing normal fluctuation production from the start of fluctuation, the decorative pattern becomes reach state and develops into normal reach. Then, the super ready-to-win effect B is started at the timing after a predetermined period has passed since the start of the fluctuation. In the super ready-to-win effect B, first, an introduction effect is performed for 7 seconds, and the title display corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect B is displayed for 2 seconds. Also, the active mode change fan effect is started while the introductory effect is being executed, and ends at the timing during the title display three seconds after the start. Unlike the timing chart of FIG. 10-11(B), since the title mode change notice effect is performed, the active mode change notice effect of the first mode is not performed here. In addition, after 8 seconds have passed since the second half of the super ready-to-win effect B, the second active mode change forewarning effect is performed for 1 second.

Further, all or part of the configurations shown in the above-described embodiments and modifications may be combined arbitrarily.

FIGS. 11-1 and 11-2 are explanatory diagrams showing the timing of effects in the gaming machine provided with the main effects in the first to third embodiments. In the example shown in FIGS. 11-1 and 11-2, (A) variation with super reach effect A (first half + second half), (B) variation with super reach effect B (first half + second half), and (C ) variation that develops from the first half of super ready-to-win effect A to SPSP ready-to-win effect A, and (D) variation that develops from the first half of super ready-to-win effect B to SPSP ready-to-win effect B.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11-1 (A) and 11-2 (A), in the fluctuation accompanied by the super reach production A (first half + second half), through the normal fluctuation and the normal reach production, the super reach production A start the first half. At that time, an introductory effect and title display are performed. At this time, a title mode change notice effect can be executed. Then, when the title display ends, the first mode of the active mode change foretelling effect can be performed through the active mode inciting foretelling effect. Also, the one-shot reversal warning effect can be performed after the one-shot reversal fanning effect.

After that, when the first half of the super ready-to-win performance A ends, the latter half of the super ready-to-win performance A is started, and the fluctuation ends when the fluctuation time elapses after the predetermined performance is performed.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11-1 (B) and 11-2 (B), in the fluctuation accompanied by the super reach production B (first half + second half), through the normal fluctuation and the normal reach production, the super reach production B start the first half. At that time, an introductory effect and title display are performed. The introduction performance of the super ready-to-win performance B has a longer execution period than the introduction performance of the super ready-to-win performance A. At this time, a title mode change notice effect can be executed. In the illustrated example, since it is assumed that the title mode change notice effect is not executed, the active mode change notice effect of the first mode is executed, but when the title mode change notice effect is executed, Although the active state change inciting effect can be executed, the active state change notice effect is not executed (see FIGS. 10-11). Also, the one-shot reversal warning effect can be performed after the one-shot reversal fanning effect.

After that, when the first half of the super ready-to-win effect B ends, the second half of the super ready-to-win effect B is started, and the active state change notice effect of the second mode can be performed. Note that the period from the start of super reach B (first half) to the execution of the first aspect of the active mode change notice effect, and the period from the start of super reach B (second half) to the second mode of active mode change notice. It is the same as the period until the performance is executed. In addition, the period from the start of Super Reach B (first half) to the execution of the one-shot reversal fanning effect and the one-shot reversal warning effect, and the period from the start of Super Reach B (second half) to the one-shot reversing fanning effect and It is the same as the period until the one-shot reversal notice effect is executed. Then, the variation ends when a predetermined effect is performed and the variation time elapses.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11-1 (C) and 11-2 (C), in the fluctuation that develops from the first half of super reach production A to SPSP reach production A, through normal fluctuation and normal reach production, super reach Start the first half of production A. At that time, an introductory effect and title display are performed. At this time, a title mode change notice effect can be executed. Then, when the title display ends, the active mode change forewarning effect of the second mode can be performed without executing the active mode inciting forewarning effect. This is because, if the active change notice effect of the first mode is performed, the execution period of the active change notice effect of the first mode overlaps with the execution period of the SPSP development suggestion inciting effect, thereby reducing the effect of the effect. Therefore, when the SPSP development suggestion inciting effect is performed, the active mode change notice effect can be executed in the second mode in which the execution period does not overlap with the SPSP development suggestion inciting effect (Fig. 8- 18). Also, the one-shot reversal warning effect can be performed after the one-shot reversal fanning effect. At this time, the execution period of the third cheering effect in the one-shot reversal fanning effect overlaps with the execution period of the SPSP development suggestion fanning effect (see FIG. 8-19).

Then, in the first half of the super reach A, after the SPSP development suggestion inciting performance is executed and the SPSP development suggestion forewarning performance is executed, the SPSP reach performance A is developed. In the SPSP ready-to-win production A, the display of the dialogue A is started at a predetermined timing, and at the same time as the start, the dialogue mode change stimulating production can be performed. After that, a dialog mode change forewarning effect is performed. Also, the one-shot reversal warning effect can be performed after the one-shot reversal fanning effect. The period from the start of SPSP reach production A until the one-shot reversal fanning production and one-shot reversal notice production is performed, and the one-shot reversal fanning production and one-shot reversal notice production after the first half of Super Reach A starts. It is common with the period until it is done.

Next, the dialogue B starts to be displayed at a predetermined timing, and after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the start, the light guide plate announcement effect can be performed. In addition, at the timing when a specific period of time has passed after the light guide plate announcement effect is started, the dialogue mode change effect can be performed. After that, a dialog mode change forewarning effect is performed. After that, the zone fan effect and the zone announcement effect can be performed. Finally, dialogue C is displayed, but here, the dialogue mode announcement effect is not performed (see FIG. 9-9).

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11-1 (D) and 11-2 (D), in the fluctuation that develops from the first half of super reach production A to SPSP reach production A, through normal fluctuation and normal reach production, super reach Start the first half of production A. At that time, an introductory effect and title display are performed. At this time, a title mode change notice effect can be executed. Then, when the title display ends, the active mode change forewarning effect of the second mode can be performed without executing the active mode inciting forewarning effect. This is because, if the active change notice effect of the first mode is performed, the execution period of the active change notice effect of the first mode overlaps with the execution period of the SPSP development suggestion inciting effect, thereby reducing the effect of the effect. Therefore, when the SPSP development suggestion inciting effect is performed, the active mode change notice effect can be executed in the second mode in which the execution period does not overlap with the SPSP development suggestion inciting effect (Fig. 8- 18). Also, the one-shot reversal warning effect can be performed after the one-shot reversal fanning effect. At this time, the execution period of the third cheering effect in the one-shot reversal fanning effect overlaps with the execution period of the SPSP development suggestion fanning effect (see FIG. 8-19).

Then, in the first half of the super reach A, after the SPSP development suggestion inciting performance is executed and the SPSP development suggestion forewarning performance is executed, the SPSP reach performance B develops. In the SPSP ready-to-win performance B, the one-shot reversal warning performance can be performed after the one-shot reversal fanning performance. The period from the start of SPSP Reach production B until the one-shot reversal fanning production and one-shot reversal notice production is performed, and the one-shot reversal fanning production and one-shot reversal notice production after the first half of Super Reach A starts. It is common with the period until it is done.

Then, the light guide plate forewarning effect can be performed. The timing at which the light guide plate advance notice effect can be executed in the SPSP reach effect B is common to the timing at which the light guide plate notice effect can be executed in the SPSP reach effect A. In addition, the display of the dialogue D may be started at a predetermined timing, and at the same time as the start, the effect of changing the dialogue mode may be performed. After that, a speech mode change forewarning effect is performed. Then, the zone inciting effect and the zone forewarning effect can be performed.

Either a second pattern suggesting the degree of expectation of controlling to the advantageous state in the possible state (in this example, a pattern for performing the active change notice effect of the second mode; see FIG. 8-11), or any of the notice patterns. The first notice effect can be executed by

When executing the first notice effect without executing the second notice effect during execution of the specific effect, the first notice effect according to the first pattern is executed during the specific period (in this example, the effect Control CPU 120 executes step IWS3008 if step IWS3006 is N. See FIG.
When both the first notice effect and the second notice effect are executed during execution of the specific effect, the first notice effect according to the second pattern is executed during the specific period, and the second notice effect is executed. (In this example, the effect control CPU 120 executes step IWS3007 when Y in step IWS3006. See FIG. 8-18 (C).),
It is possible to output a common specific sound in both the case of executing the first notice effect according to the first pattern and the case of executing the first notice effect according to the second pattern in the specific period (this example Then, the effect control CPU 120 outputs a specific sound in common when the display mode of the active display changes in the case of performing the active change notice effect of the first mode and the case of performing the active change notice effect of the second mode. output from speakers 8L and 8R)
It is characterized by

According to such a configuration, when the execution period overlaps and the first notice effect and the second notice effect that make the display image in the specific effect difficult to see are executed in combination, the first notice effect is executed. Since the display image of the specific effect is executed in the second pattern in which the display image is not visually recognized, the effects of both the first notice effect and the second notice effect can be prevented from being lowered.

(Means 1-2) In the gaming machine described in Means 1-1,
When the first notice effect is executed by the second pattern, the rate of being controlled in an advantageous state is higher than when the first notice effect is executed by the first pattern (in this example, it develops into the SPSP ready-to-win effect). When a variation pattern different from the variation pattern is selected, the active change notice effect of the first mode can be executed. A change notice performance can be executed, and a jackpot game state is achieved when a variation pattern developing into SPSP ready-to-win performance is selected rather than when a variation pattern different from the variation pattern developing to SPSP ready-to-win performance is selected. Since the reliability of the control is high (see FIG. 8-1), it is controlled to a big win game state when executing the second aspect of the active change foretelling effect rather than executing the first aspect of the active change foretelling effect. high confidence in

The advance notice effect execution means is
In the first specific part, the first notice effect can be executed by either pattern of the first pattern and the second pattern (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 is Y in step IWS3005 (active When the execution timing of the change notice effect is super reach (first half), steps IWS3007 and S3008 can be executed),
In the second specific part, it is possible to execute the first notice effect according to the first pattern without executing the first notice effect according to the second pattern (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 is N in step IWS3005). case (when the execution timing of the active change notice effect is super reach (second half)), step IWS3008 can be executed)

(Means 1-6) In any of the game machines described in Means 1-1 to 1-5,
The advance notice effect execution means, as the second part, provides a predetermined second part that notifies a predetermined result (in this example, even if the active change notice effect is performed, the display mode of the active suspension does not change (active change false effect is performed). (It may be an effect that shows the results of the notice effect with low reliability for the big win, such as an active change notice effect for changing the active display to a mode (color) with a low reliability for the big win.) A specific second part that notifies a specific result that is more advantageous to the player than the result (in this example, an active change notice effect is performed to change the display mode of active suspension. A highly reliable mode (color) for big wins. It may be a production showing a highly reliable announcement production result for a big hit, such as an active change announcement production that changes the active display to the next.),

The specific effect executing means executes the special effect at a higher rate when the specific advance notice effect is executed during execution of the specific effect than when the specific advance notice effect is not executed during execution of the specific effect. (In this example, if the SPSP development suggestion notice effect is executed during super reach, the SPSP reach effect is executed at a rate of 100%, and if the SPSP development suggestion notice effect is not executed during super reach, the rate is 0% Execute the SPSP reach production (that is, execute the SPSP reach production only when the SPSP development suggestion notice production is executed during super reach) SPSP reach production when the SPSP development suggestion notice production is executed during super reach may be less than 100%, or the ratio of executing the SPSP ready-to-win effect when the SPSP development suggestion notice effect is not executed during super reach may be set to a value different from 0%.),
