a selection effect executing means capable of executing a selection effect that causes a player to select at least one option from a plurality of types of options related to the effect mode of the specific effect;
When the selection performance is executed a plurality of times, it is determined in which performance mode of a plurality of performance modes to execute the specific performance based on the player's selection tendency in the plurality of times of the selection performance. a specific performance determining means;
a light emitting means capable of emitting light;
light emission control means capable of controlling the light emission pattern of the light emission means;
with
The light emission control means is capable of controlling the light emitting means to emit light in a common light emission pattern when the specific effect is executed in the first effect mode and when the specific effect is executed in the second effect mode. can be,
It is possible to execute a notification effect (for example, a notification effect to notify whether or not a big hit will be achieved) for informing whether or not the advantageous state is controlled,
The notification effect is determined to be an introductory part (for example, a fanning part) until the propriety of whether or not to be controlled to the advantageous state is notified, and to be controlled to the advantageous state after the propriety notification. An epilogue part (for example, a hit epilogue part) that is executed when the
In the introductory part, the dialogue sound emitted by the character (for example, Yume Yume's dialogue "Wait~") and the action sound corresponding to the character's action (Bakuchu's footsteps "Ta-ta-ta-ta", Yume-chan's footsteps "Sazzazaza") and There is a specific scene where , is output,
In the specific scene, in a scene in which the sound of dialogue emitted by the character is output louder than the action sound corresponding to the action of the character, the Yume Yume dialogue "Wait~" The sound is louder than Yume-chan's footsteps, "za-za-za-za").
According to this feature, it is possible to enhance the marketability of a game machine equipped with a selection effect that allows a player to arbitrarily select the effect mode of the specific effect.

For example, the special figure 1 variable display unit 21 determines whether or not the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special figure game is performed, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol determined by the result of the variable display, The player is notified by lighting/blinking/extinguishing by lighting means such as an LED. The special figure 2 variable display unit 22 indicates whether or not the second special figure is being variably displayed in the second special figure game, and the stop figure of the second special figure determined by the result of the variable display is indicated by an LED or the like. The player is notified by lighting/blinking/extinguishing by the lighting means.

Furthermore, the special figure LED board 20 can prompt the player to hit to the right by lighting/blinking/extinguishing by lighting means such as an LED in the right hitting display section 30 . In this embodiment, when the player is urged to hit to the right, lighting means such as an LED in the right-handed display unit 30 lights up (lights up), and when the player is not urged to hit to the right, That is, when prompting the player to hit left, lighting means such as an LED in the right hitting display section 30 is extinguished. After the design is determined, the CPU 103 transmits a right-handed display lighting designation command to the effect control CPU 120, lights the right-handed display unit 30, and after the design is determined by the final variation in the high base state before returning to the normal state. , a right-handed display extinguishing designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120, and the right-handed display unit 30 is extinguished. Incidentally, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a jackpot that is not controlled to a high base after the jackpot game state, the effect control CPU 120 may light the right-handed display section 30 only during the jackpot round. In this case, the CPU 103 transmits a jackpot end designation command to the effect control CPU 120 and turns off the right hitting display section 30 .

Here, hitting to the right means that the game ball is shot toward the second flow path out of the first flow path and the second flow path through which the game medium can flow down in the game area provided on the game board 2. is to operate the hitting operation handle 30 (how to hit). The first flow path is, for example, a path passing through the left area of the game area, and ahead of it is a first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, while the variable winning ball device This path does not have the second start winning opening formed in 6B. The second flow path is, for example, a path passing through the right side area of the game area, and beyond that is a second start winning opening and a big winning opening (usually a big winning opening) formed in the variable winning ball device 6B. , V grand prize opening) exist. When the player shoots the game ball toward the first flow-down path, the game ball flows through the first flow-down path toward the first start winning opening. When the player shoots the game ball toward the second flow-down path, the game ball passes through the second flow-down path and enters the second start winning opening or the big winning opening (normal big winning opening, V big winning opening). flow into.

In the present embodiment, in the jackpot game after the occurrence of the jackpot, and the game state after the jackpot game (time-saving state and variable probability state), the player hits to the right, and is provided on the right side of the game area. The game ball is made to enter the second start winning opening and the big winning opening, and during that time, the right-handed display section 30 prompts the player to hit right. The player hits to the right while the display urging him to hit to the right is being displayed, causing the game balls to enter the second start winning opening and a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls to be paid out. The right of the second special game can be obtained, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prize balls are paid out by entering the game balls into the normal big winning opening. Furthermore, as will be described later in detail, the V big winning opening is opened during the round of the probability variable jackpot. It is also possible to obtain the right to enter the game ball into the winning opening and be controlled to the variable probability state. Therefore, by hitting right while the display prompting the player to hit right is being displayed, the player can benefit overall. In addition, unlike right-handed hitting, operating the hitting ball operation handle 30 so as to shoot the game ball toward the first flow-down path (hitting method) is also referred to as left-handed hitting.

As shown in FIG. 4(b), the fourth symbol unit 50 includes a special figure 1 storage display unit 51 indicating the first reserved memory number corresponding to the first special figure game, and a second special figure corresponding to the second special figure game. 2 Special figure 2 storage display unit 52 indicating the number of pending memories, Special figure 1 variable display unit 53 indicating the situation or display result of the variable display of the first special figure, The situation or display result of the variable display of the second special figure A special figure 2 variable display unit 54 showing and a right hitting display unit 55 prompting the player to hit right. Each display unit can notify the player of the presence/absence of variable display of the special figure, the number of reservations, and the instruction to hit to the right by lighting/flashing/extinguishing by lighting means such as an LED.

For example, the special figure 1 variable display unit 53 determines whether or not the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special figure game is performed, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol determined by the result of the variable display, The player is notified by lighting/blinking/extinguishing by lighting means such as an LED. The special figure 2 variable display unit 54 indicates whether or not the second special symbol is being variably displayed in the second special figure game, and the stop symbol of the second special symbol determined by the result of the variable display is indicated by an LED or the like. The player is notified by lighting/blinking/extinguishing by the lighting means.

Below, the variation display (variable display) of the first special symbol to represent the variation of the stop symbol of the first special symbol by the lighting means such as the LED in the special figure 1 variable display portion 21 and the special figure 1 variable display portion 53 Also called In addition, representing the variation of the stop symbol of the second special symbol by the lighting means such as the LED in the special figure 2 variable display unit 22 or the special figure 2 variable display unit 54 is also referred to as the variable display (variable display) of the second special symbol. called.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when prompting the player to hit to the right, lighting means such as an LED in the right-handed display section 55 of the fourth symbol unit 50 lights up (lights up) to indicate that the player should hit to the right. is not urged to the player, that is, when the player is urged to hit left, the lighting means such as the LED in the right-handed display section 55 is extinguished. After the design is determined, the effect control CPU 120 lights the right-handed display unit 55 based on the reception of the right-handed display lighting designation command from the CPU 103, and the design is changed by the final fluctuation in the high base state before returning to the normal state. After the determination, the right-handed display unit 55 is turned off based on the reception of the right-handed display extinguishing designation command from the CPU 103 . Incidentally, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a jackpot that is not controlled to a high base after the jackpot game state, the effect control CPU 120 may light the right-handed display section 55 only during the jackpot round. In this case, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the right hitting display section 55 based on the reception of the jackpot end designation command from the CPU 103 .

FIG. 4(c) is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the fourth symbol unit and the game effect lamp. In the pachinko game machine 1, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a before-variation pattern command and a later-variation pattern command, or a symbol determination command, among the effect control commands, the fourth symbol unit 50 and the game effect lamp , lighting/blinking/extinguishing. Before the fluctuation pattern command and after the fluctuation pattern command, from the CPU103 of the game control microcomputer 100 to be described later, is a command output to the production control CPU120 of the production control board 12, before the fluctuation pattern command and after the fluctuation pattern It is output to CPU120 for production|presentation control from CPU103 by one set by a command. Hereinafter, the pre-variation pattern command and the post-variation pattern command are collectively referred to as a variation pattern command.

Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 changes the lighting mode of the LED (special figure 1 variable display 53 and special figure 2 variable display 54) in the fourth symbol unit 50 when a variation pattern command is received from the CPU 103 . For example, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command corresponding to the first special symbol game from the CPU 103, based on the received variation pattern command, the lighting mode of the special figure 1 variable display 53 is changed to the first special symbol. Switching from extinguishing indicating stop to blinking indicating variation of the first special symbol. In addition, when the CPU 120 for effect control receives a variation pattern command corresponding to the second special symbol game from the CPU 103, based on the received variation pattern command, the lighting mode of the special figure 2 variable display 54 is changed to the second special symbol. Switching from the light-off indicating the stop to the blinking indicating the variation of the second special symbol.

On the other hand, even if the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command from the CPU 103, the lighting mode before receiving the variation pattern command is changed without changing the lighting mode of the LED (frame lamp, etc.) in the game effect lamp. maintain.

Also, the effect control CPU 120 changes the lighting mode of the LEDs (the special figure 1 variable display 53 and the special figure 2 variable display 54) in the fourth symbol unit 50 when the design confirmation command is received from the CPU 103. For example, when the effect control CPU 120 receives from the CPU 103 a symbol confirmation command designating to end the variation of the symbol in the first special figure game, the special figure 1 variable display 53 is lit based on the received symbol confirmation command. The aspect is switched from blinking indicating the variation of the first special symbol to extinguishing indicating the stop of the first special symbol. In addition, when the effect control CPU 120 receives from the CPU 103 a symbol confirmation command designating the end of the variation of the symbol in the second special figure game, the special figure 2 variable display 54 is lit based on the received symbol confirmation command. The aspect is switched from blinking indicating the variation of the second special symbol to extinguishing indicating the stop of the second special symbol.

On the other hand, even if the design confirmation command is received from the CPU 103, the effect control CPU 120 does not change the lighting condition of the LED (frame lamp, etc.) in the game effect lamp, and changes the lighting condition before receiving the design confirmation command. maintain.

Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the fourth symbol unit 50, the mode of the lamp (LED) changes in response to receiving the variation pattern command or the symbol confirmation command. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the game effect lamp 9 maintains the state of the lamp before and after receiving the command regardless of whether the variation pattern command or the symbol determination command is received. Incidentally, the pachinko gaming machine 1 may change the mode of the game effect lamp 9 according to the reception of the variation pattern command. For example, when the game state changes from the normal state to the time saving state after the big hit, the pachinko game machine 1 changes from the lighting mode of the normal state to the time saving state in response to receiving the variation pattern command for starting the time saving state. The mode of the game effect lamp 9 may be changed to the lighting mode of .

At the upper right end of the screen of the image display device 5, a fourth symbol 5J is displayed to indicate that the special symbols are being displayed in a variable manner. Numbers indicating the number of first reserved memories and the number of second reserved memories are displayed below the fourth symbol 5J. As for the numbers indicating the number of reservations, the left side indicates the first reserved number of memories, and the right side indicates the second number of reserved memories. A small pattern 5M smaller in size than each decorative pattern is displayed at the bottom of the display showing the number of reservations. The small patterns are displayed in the "left" decorative design display area 5L, the "middle" decorative design display area 5C, and the "right" decorative design display area 5R. Patterns corresponding to each of the decorative patterns are arranged in the horizontal direction. The small pattern 5M is also a pattern that is always displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 without being hidden during the variable display.

As shown in FIG. 5, the decorative pattern is arranged in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, and the small pattern 5M is smaller in size than the decorative pattern at the right end of the screen of the image display device 5. are placed. Therefore, the visibility of the small pattern 5M is lower than the visibility of the decoration pattern.

The reset signal is an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the control circuit such as the game control microcomputer 100, and can be output using either the power supply monitoring circuit, the IC with built-in watchdog timer, or the system reset IC. I wish I had. The power-off signal turns off when a predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and turns on when the period in which the predetermined power supply voltage is equal to or less than the predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or longer. Become. The clear signal is turned on in response to, for example, a pressing operation on a clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17 .

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

<Overview of Game Progress>
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the configuration described above, the game progresses as follows. A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotating 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 executed immediately) , 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 the game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game by the special figure 1 variable display section 21 of the special figure LED board 20 is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special figure game by the special figure 2 variable display section 22 of the special figure LED board 20 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 jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game 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 figure game, the combination of the lighting modes of the plurality of LEDs provided in the special figure 1 variable display portion 21 and the special figure 2 variable display portion 22 of the special figure LED board 20 is a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, described later). The actual pattern differs depending on the kind of jackpot.) When a combination of lighting modes corresponding to the above is achieved, a "jackpot" is achieved. In addition, in the combination of lighting modes of a plurality of LEDs provided in the special figure 1 variable display section 21 and the special figure 2 variable display section 22 of the special figure LED board 20, the lighting mode corresponding to a specific special pattern (big hit pattern) is also referred to as a "specific display result". In addition, the combination of lighting modes of a plurality of LEDs provided in the special figure 1 variable display portion 21 and the special figure 2 variable display portion 22 of the special figure LED board 20 corresponds to a special pattern (losing pattern) different from the big hit pattern. When a combination of lighting modes is obtained, it becomes "losing". In addition, in the combination of lighting modes of a plurality of LEDs provided in the special figure 1 variable display portion 21 and the special figure 2 variable display portion 22 of the special figure LED board 20, it corresponds to a special pattern (losing pattern) different from the big hit pattern This lighting mode is also referred to as a "failure display result".

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. In addition, you may be made to be controlled by a small hit game state as an advantageous state. Here, a small win is a win in which the number of openings of the big winning opening is smaller than that of a big win. In addition, when the small hit game state ends, the game state does not change. That is, before and after the small winning game state, there is no transition from the variable probability state to the normal state or from the normal state to the variable probability state. In addition, as with the big hit types, the "small hit" may also be provided with a small hit type.

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 either the timing when a predetermined period of time (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) elapses or the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until the earliest timing. This 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 (10 times or 7 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, the kind of big win is set in the "big win". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning mouth and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc.) are prepared, and the jackpot type is set according to these It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type with which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type with which few prize balls can be obtained.

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

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, the average normal figure fluctuation time (the period during which the normal figure is changed) is shortened compared to the normal state, and the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game is improved compared to the normal state. Therefore, control (high open control, high base control) that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning hole 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 termination conditions, such as execution of the special game for a predetermined number of times and the 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 the number of times cut (number of times cut short time, number of times 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 probability variable 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, as in the case where 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 time-saving state is also called a low-probability-high base state, a high-probability-variable state is a high-probability-high base state, and a normal state is also called 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.

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.

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 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, lighting of the game effect lamp 9, It may be performed by turning off the light, by moving the movable body 32, or by using any rendering device including some or all of these.

As effects executed in accordance with 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, normal reach and super reach, which is higher in reliability of big win than normal reach. In addition, super reach includes the first half of super reach that ends in the first half of super reach, the second half of super reach that develops from the first half of super reach, and the final reach that develops from the first half of super reach. In the present embodiment, the reliability of the big hit is higher when the display result of the variable display is derived in the first half of the super reach than when the display result of the variable display is derived in the normal reach. Also, the reliability of the big hit is higher when the display result of the variable display is derived in the latter half of the super reach than the display result of the variable display is derived in the first half of the super reach. Also, the reliability of the big win is higher when the display result of the variable display is derived in the final reach than the display result of the variable display is derived in the second half of the super reach. In the following, "super reach" is referred to as "SP reach", "first half of super reach" is referred to as "first half of SP (first half of SP reach)", "second half of super reach" is referred to as "second half of SP (second half of SP reach)", " Final Reach” is also referred to as “SP Final (SP Final Reach)”.

When the display result of the special game is the combination of the lighting modes corresponding to the "big hit" (specific display result described above), on the screen of the image display device 5, the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern is determined in advance. Determined decoration patterns that will be a big hit combination are derived (the display result of the variable display of the decoration patterns is "big hit"). As an example, the same decoration patterns (for example, "7") are stop-displayed together on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle", and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. .

In the case of the ``variable probability big win'' controlled to the 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-probable variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stop-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". As the promotion effect, for example, after temporarily stopping the non-probability variation pattern (normal pattern) as a result of the big hit display, a re-lottery effect may be executed for inciting whether or not to promote to the probability variation pattern. In addition, a round promotion performance may be executed in which the non-probability variable big win is promoted to the probability variable big win during the big win game state.

When the display result of the special figure game is a combination of the lighting modes corresponding to "losing" (the above-mentioned losing display result), the variable display of the decorative pattern is not the ready-to-win mode, but the variable display of the decorative pattern. As a result of the display, the fixed decoration pattern of the non-reach combination (also referred to as "non-reach loss") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern may be "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 that foretells 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 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.

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

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

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

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

The normal jackpot 1 is a jackpot that is controlled to a low probability state and a high base state after three rounds of jackpot game states are completed. In the normal jackpot 1, such a low-probability-high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is performed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times).

The normal jackpot 2 is a jackpot that is controlled to a low-probability state and a high-base state after three rounds of jackpot game states are completed. In the normal jackpot 2, such a low-probability-high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

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

The variable probability big win 6 is a big win controlled to a high probability state and a high base state after five rounds of the big win game state are finished. In the probability variable jackpot 6, such a high probability/high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

The probability variable jackpot 7 is a jackpot that is controlled to a high probability state and a high base state after seven rounds of jackpot game states are completed. In the probability variable jackpot 7, such a high probability/high base state continues until the variable display (special figure variation) is executed over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

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

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

Random 3 and random 4 are random counters (for later variation pattern determination) that determine a variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as a later variation pattern) (variation time) corresponding to the later variation among the variation patterns. The post-fluctuation refers to the fluctuation in the second half of the fluctuations in the special design. Random 3 is a random counter that determines the post-variation pattern corresponding to the time of failure. Updated. Random 4 is a random counter that determines a post-variation pattern corresponding to a hit.

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

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

Also, first, the post-variation pattern is determined according to the hit or loss using the post-variation pattern determination random number (random 3, 4), and the post-variation pattern determination random number (random 5) is used to determine the post-variation pattern. be done. Thus, in this embodiment, a variation pattern is determined by a two-stage lottery process.

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

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

In the normal jackpot determination table, the jackpot determination values are set for the number of determination values listed in the upper column of FIG. A big hit judgment value is set for the number of judgment values described in . The jackpot judgment value set in the probability variable jackpot judgment table is the same as the jackpot judgment value set in the normal jackpot judgment table. A larger number of jackpot determination values than the jackpot determination table are set. As a result, in the variable probability state, it is determined to be a big hit with a higher probability than in the normal state.

At a predetermined time, the CPU 103 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 104 and compares the extracted value with the value of the jackpot determination random number (random 1). If it coincides with the big hit determination value, it is determined to make a big win (normal big win or probability variable big win) with respect to the special symbol. In addition, FIG. 9(a) shows the probability (percentage) of winning or the probability (percentage) of losing.

FIGS. 9B and 9C are explanatory diagrams showing the jackpot type determination table. FIG. 9(b) is a first special symbol jackpot type determination table used for determining the jackpot type when the first special symbol is determined to be a jackpot.

In the first special figure jackpot type determination table of FIG. 9(b), the numerical values to be compared with the random value 2 for jackpot type determination correspond to normal jackpots 1 and 2 and probability variable jackpots 1 to 4, respectively. Judgment values are set for the number of judgment values that have been set. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, for the first special figure, the normal jackpot 1 is assigned 25 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 values, and the normal jackpot 2 is assigned 100 random 2 values. 25 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 values are assigned, variable jackpot 1 is assigned 5 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 values, and variable jackpot 2 is assigned 37 out of 100 random 2 values random 2 values are assigned, variable jackpot 3 is assigned 4 random 2 values out of 100 random 2, variable jackpot 4 is assigned 4 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 value is assigned.

In the second special symbol big hit type determination table of FIG. 9 (c), the determination value is set by the number of determination values corresponding to each of the probability variable jackpots 5 to 9, which is the numerical value to be compared with the value of random 2. It is For example, as shown in FIG. 9(c), for the second special figure, the probability variable jackpot 5 is assigned 10 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 values, and the probability variable jackpot 6 is assigned 100 random 2 values. 5 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 values are assigned, variable jackpot 7 is assigned 5 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 values, and variable jackpot 8 is assigned 70 out of 100 random 2 values random 2 values are assigned, and the probability variable jackpot 9 is assigned 10 random 2 values out of 100 random 2 values.

Using such various jackpot type determination tables, the CPU 103 determines a type corresponding to the jackpot type determination value with which the value of random 2 matches as the jackpot type, and also determines the value of random 2 as the jackpot pattern. Determine the jackpot pattern. As a result, the jackpot type and the jackpot pattern corresponding to the jackpot type are determined at the same time.

Of the plurality of types of pre-variation patterns to which the pre-variation numbers are respectively assigned, the pre-variation number 1 is a pre-variation pattern command (8000 (H)) that designates normal variation (for example, variation of decorative patterns over 13 seconds) is. The previous variation number 2 is a previous variation pattern command (8001 (H)) that designates a shortened variation (for example, a variation of decorative patterns over 7 seconds). The previous variation number 3 is a previous variation pattern command (8002 (H)) that designates a super-shortened variation (for example, a variation of the decoration pattern over 3 seconds).

Pre-variation number 4 is a pre-variation pattern command (8003 (H)) that specifies normal reach (normal or first half of SP) (reach that ends with normal reach or end with first half of SP reach after becoming a reach mode). Pre-variation number 5 is a pre-variation pattern command (8004 (H)) that designates normal reach (SP latter half development) (reach that develops into SP latter half reach after becoming a reach mode). Pre-variation number 6 is a pre-variation pattern command (8005 (H)) that specifies normal reach (final reach development) (reach that develops into final reach after being in a reach mode).

Pre-fluctuation number 7 is a pre-fluctuation pattern command (8006(H)) that designates execution of normal reach (normal or first half of SP) after one pseudo-fluctuation. Pseudo-variation means that the variable display is temporarily stopped and then restarted from the start of the variable display (variable display) of the decorative pattern until the display result of the variable display is derived and displayed. It is a variable display (variable display). An effect that repeats such a pseudo-variation is also called a pseudo-run. By executing the pseudo-continuation, the variable display based on one reserved memory can be shown to the player as if it were a plurality of pseudo-variable displays. Note that the variable display resumed after being temporarily stopped is also referred to as “re-variable display”. Pre-variation number 8 is a pre-variation pattern command (8007(H)) that designates execution of normal reach (SP latter half development) after one pseudo-variation. Pre-variation number 9 is a pre-variation pattern command (8008 (H)) that designates normal reach (final reach development) after one pseudo-variation.

Pre-fluctuation number 10 is a pre-fluctuation pattern command (8009(H)) that designates execution of normal reach (normal or first half of SP) after two pseudo-fluctuations. Pre-variation number 11 is a pre-variation pattern command (800A(H)) that designates execution of normal reach (development of SP latter half) after performing pseudo-variation twice. The previous variation number 12 is a previous variation pattern command (800B(H)) that designates normal reach (final reach development) after performing pseudo variation twice.

Each of the previous variation patterns has a specified variation time, and an animation (moving image) is displayed on the image display device 5 over each variation time. Incidentally, in the pachinko game machine 1, it takes about 33.3 msec for one still image (referred to as a frame) constituting a moving image. For example, in the case of the patterns of previous variation numbers 7 to 9, the variation time is set to 41500 mse, and the number of frames is approximately 1246 frames. In the case of the patterns of the previous variation numbers 10 to 12, the variation time is set to 62000 mse, and the number of frames is approximately 1861 frames.

[Post-fluctuation pattern on the main side]
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining an example of a post-variation pattern on the main side. Of the plurality of types of post-variation patterns to which post-variation numbers are assigned, post-variation number 1 is a post-variation pattern command (8400 (H)) that designates a 13-second variation. Post-variation number 2 is a post-variation pattern command (8401(H)) that designates a 7-second variation. Post-variation number 3 is a post-variation pattern command (8402(H)) specifying a 3-second variation. Post-variation number 4 is a post-variation pattern command (8403(H)) that designates execution of a pseudo-repeating sequence. Pseudo-continuum is an effect that pretends to execute a pseudo-continuum but does not execute the pseudo-continuum after all.

Post-variation number 5 is a post-variation pattern command (8404 (H)) that designates normal reach (losing) (variation of decorative pattern that becomes a loss mode without developing into SP reach although it becomes a reach mode). Post-variation number 6 is a post-variation pattern command (8405 (H)) that designates the first half of SP (losing) (variation of decorative pattern that develops into SP reach but loses in the first half of SP reach). The post-variation number 7 is a post-variation pattern command (8406 (H)) that designates the second half of the SP (loss) (the variation of the decorative pattern that develops in the latter half of the SP reach but becomes a loss mode in the latter half of the SP reach). The post-variation number 8 is a post-variation pattern command (8407 (H)) that designates the final reach (loss) (variation of the decorative pattern that develops into the final reach but becomes a loss mode in the final reach).

The post-variation number 9 is a post-variation pattern command (8408(H)) that designates normal reach (hit) (variation of decoration pattern that becomes a reach state and becomes a hit state). The post-variation number 10 is a post-variation pattern command (8409 (H)) that designates the SP first half (hit) (variation of the decorative pattern that develops into the SP reach and becomes a hit mode in the first half of the SP reach). The post-variation number 11 is a post-variation pattern command (840A(H)) that designates the second half of the SP (hit) (variation of the decorative pattern that develops in the latter half of the SP reach and becomes a hit mode in the latter half of the SP reach). The post-variation number 12 is a post-variation pattern command (840B(H)) that designates the final reach (hit) (variation of the decorative pattern that develops into the final reach and becomes a winning mode in the final reach).

[Determination of post-fluctuation pattern]
The post-variation pattern is determined using different random counters depending on whether a big win or a loss is determined in the big win determination. FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the post-fluctuation pattern determination table at the time of losing. As shown in FIG. 13, when it is determined to be a loss in the big hit determination, the post-variation pattern is determined using random 3 described in FIG. Furthermore, when it is determined to be a loss in the big hit determination, the post-variation pattern is determined using different determination values according to the number of pending memories after digestion, and the determined post-variation number is also different.

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

When the number of retained memories after digestion is 1, any post-variation pattern is determined from post-variation numbers 1, 4, 5 to 8, and a different judgment value number is provided for each of the post-variation patterns. ing. The probability of being determined to be one of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (the selection rate of the post-variation numbers 6 to 8) is approximately 1/102.

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

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

In this way, a post-variation pattern is determined using a different number of judgment values according to the number of retained memories after digestion, and a post-variation number is determined using a different number of judgment values according to the number of retained memories after digestion. Therefore, the type of variation pattern changes according to the number of remaining reserved memories, thereby making it possible to add variety to the game and improve the interest of the game.

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

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

When one of the probability variable jackpots 3 and 9 is determined, one of the post-variation patterns is determined from among the post-variation numbers 9 to 12, and different judgment values are provided for each of the post-variation patterns. . The probability of being determined to be one of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12 that develops into the SP reach or the final reach (the selection rate of the post-variation numbers 10 to 12) is about 1/1.1.

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

In this way, since the post-variation pattern is determined using different judgment value numbers according to the type of the big win, the kind of the variation pattern changes according to the kind of the big win, thereby adding variety to the game. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Also, as shown in FIG. 13, the probability of being determined to be one of the fluctuation numbers 6 to 8 after developing into the SP reach or the final reach is about 1/102 at the time of losing, whereas the big hit Since the time is about 1/1.1, which is higher than that, the player can expect a big win in the event of SP reach or final reach.

[Determination of previous fluctuation pattern]
FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the previous variation pattern determination table. The pre-variation pattern is determined using a different number of random 5 judgment values depending on the type of the pre-determined post-variation pattern. Furthermore, the determined pre-variation number differs depending on the type of post-variation pattern that has been previously determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15(a), when the post-variation pattern of post-variation number 1 is determined, the pre-variation pattern of pre-variation number 1 is determined. As shown in FIG. 15(b), when the post-fluctuation pattern of post-fluctuation number 2 is determined, the pre-fluctuation pattern of pre-fluctuation number 2 is determined. As shown in FIG. 15(c), when the post-variation pattern of post-variation number 3 is determined, the pre-variation pattern of pre-variation number 3 is determined. As shown in FIG. 15(d), when the post-fluctuation pattern of post-fluctuation number 4 is determined, the pre-fluctuation pattern of pre-fluctuation number 1 is determined.

As shown in FIG. 15(e), when either of the post-fluctuation patterns of post-fluctuation numbers 5 and 9 is determined, the pre-fluctuation pattern of pre-fluctuation numbers 4 and 7 is determined. As shown in FIG. 15(f), when any of the post-variation patterns of post-variation numbers 6 and 10 is determined, the pre-variation pattern of any of pre-variation numbers 4, 7 and 10 is determined. As shown in FIG. 15(g), when the post-fluctuation pattern of post-fluctuation number 7 is determined, the pre-fluctuation pattern of any of pre-fluctuation numbers 5, 8, and 11 is determined.

As shown in FIG. 15(h), when the post-variation pattern of post-variation number 11 is determined, the pre-variation pattern of any of pre-variation numbers 5, 8, and 11 is determined. As shown in FIG. 15(i), when the post-variation pattern of post-variation number 8 is determined, the pre-variation pattern of pre-variation number 6, 9 or 12 is determined. As shown in FIG. 15(j), when the post-variation pattern of post-variation number 12 is determined, the pre-variation pattern of pre-variation number 6, 9 or 12 is determined.

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

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

For example, when the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command corresponding to one of the main variation numbers 7 to 9 from the CPU 103, among a plurality of types of reach effects, the effect of the SP first half reach A losing pattern described later, or , SP first half reach B loss pattern production is determined. When the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command corresponding to one of the main variation numbers 18 to 20 from the CPU 103, the effect of the hit pattern of the SP first half reach A described later, or the SP One of the performances of the hit pattern of the first half reach B is determined.

When the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command corresponding to one of the main variation numbers 10 to 12 from the CPU 103, the effect of the losing pattern of reach A in the second half of SP, which will be described later, or the SP It is determined to one of the effects of the losing pattern of the second half reach B. When the effect control CPU 120 receives a variation pattern command corresponding to one of the main variation numbers 21 to 23 from the CPU 103, the effect of the hit pattern of the SP second half reach A, which will be described later, or the SP Any of the performances of the hit pattern of the second half reach B is determined.

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

[Major Operations of Main Board 11]
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described.

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

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

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

When the restoration condition is satisfied (Y in step S3), the CPU 103 executes the setting confirmation process (step S5) after executing the restoration process (step S4). The CPU 103 sets the work area based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if the pattern variation can be restarted.

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

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

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process of step S5, the setting confirmation state is entered in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed, and the main board 11 sets the performance control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting values set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29 . When ending the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be in a game stop state to stop the progress of the game. When the game is in the stopped state, shooting of the game ball by operating the batted ball operation handle 30, detection of the game ball by various switches, etc. are stopped. It is sufficient to perform control so that a display corresponding to is performed. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

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

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

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be put in the game stop state as in the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

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

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

After executing the setting confirmation process or the setting change process, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the CPU 103 sets the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and permits the interrupt. (Step S10). 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.

(Timer interrupt processing for game control)
FIG. 19 is a flow chart showing an example of game control timer interrupt processing. When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the timer interrupt process for game control shown in FIG. 19 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, the CPU 103 executes a predetermined main-side error process to diagnose an abnormality of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and makes it possible to issue a warning according to the diagnosis result if necessary (step S22). After that, the CPU 103 executes a predetermined information output process so that, for example, the big win information (information indicating the number of occurrences of big wins, etc.) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the starting Data such as information (information indicating the number of start-up wins, etc.) and probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the odds have changed) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, the CPU 103 executes 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 (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). By the CPU 103 executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the big hit game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the 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 general pattern game is performed by driving the general pattern display unit 26, and the number of general pattern reservations is displayed by lighting the general pattern storage display unit 25. FIG.

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.

(Special pattern process processing)
FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing an example of special symbol process processing. The special symbol process process is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a 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 pre-reading and judging the display result and the 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 specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of start winning set to be transmitted in this manner 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 step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S117 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S117) 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 to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit 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 start condition of 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". This variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of a plurality of variation patterns using a random number value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is a "big hit". It is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative pattern), the form of variable display of the decorative pattern (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of the decorative pattern It specifies the content of the production (such as the type of reach production), 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 symbol in the special symbol 1 variable display unit 21 and the special symbol 2 variable display unit 22, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to change. 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 special symbol 1 variable display unit 21 and the special symbol 2 variable display unit 22 stop the variation of the special symbol, and the fixed special symbol that becomes the display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived). 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". Moreover, when the display result is "losing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "losing", when it is controlled in the time saving state or the variable probability state, and when the end of the number of cuts 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 period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit number of rounds to be executed 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.

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

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

The jackpot type may be determined at different ratios depending on the set value based on the assignment of the determination value in the jackpot type determination table. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined at a common rate regardless of the set value. The variation pattern may be determined at different ratios according to the set values based on the assignment of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the variation pattern may be determined with a common ratio regardless of the set value. A set value may be suggested by the frequency with which normal reach and super reach are performed by having the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach differ according to a set value. Alternatively, regardless of the setting value, the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach may be common. In addition, it may be possible to execute arbitrary setting suggestion effects at different ratios according to the set values.

(Start winning judgment process)
FIG. 21 is a flow chart showing the start prize determination process. The CPU 103 executes the start winning determination process in S101 of the special symbol process process shown in FIG. In the starting winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting opening switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. (step S51). At this time, if the first starting port switch 22A is ON (Y in step S51), the number of first special figure pending memories, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit. (For example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) is determined (step S52). CPU103, for example by reading the first reservation storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reservation storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown), it is sufficient to specify the number of first special figure reservation storage. When the number of the first special figure reserved storage is not the upper limit value in step S52 (N in step S52), for example, the stored value of the starting port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (not shown) is set to "1". (Step S53).

When the first starting port switch 22A is off in step S51 (N in step S51), when the number of first special figure pending storage has reached the upper limit in step S52 (Y in step S52), variable Based on the detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether the second starting opening switch 22B is on (step S54). At this time, if the second starting port switch 22B is ON (Y in step S54), the number of second special figure pending memories, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit. (For example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) is determined (step S55). CPU103, for example by reading the second reservation storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reservation storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown), it is sufficient if it can specify the number of second special figure reservation storage. When the number of second special figure reserved storage is not the upper limit value in step S55 (N in step S55), for example, the stored value of the starting port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (not shown) is set to "2". (Step S56).

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

After executing the process of step S58, the CPU 103 selects the random number random number 1 for judging a big hit or the The numerical data representing the random number random number 2 and the random number random number numbers 3 and 4 for determining the variation pattern are extracted (step S59). Numerical data indicating each random number extracted in this manner is stored by being set as suspension information at the head of the empty entry in the special figure suspension storage unit corresponding to the starting port buffer value (step S60). For example, when the start buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating random numbers random 1 to random 4 are stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit (not shown), while the start buffer value is "2". At some point, numerical data indicating random number random 1 to random 4 is stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit (not shown).

The numerical data indicating the random number random number 1 for judging the big hit and the random number random number 2 for judging the type of big hit determine whether the fluctuation display result of the special pattern or decorative pattern is "big hit", and whether the fluctuation display result is "big hit". It is used to determine the type of jackpot in the case of "jackpot". The random number random numbers 3 and 4 for determining the variation pattern are used to determine the variation pattern including the variation display time of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step S59, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data representing all of the random numbers used for determining the variable display mode including the variable display results of the special symbols and decorative symbols and the variable display time.

Following the processing of step S59, the transmission setting of the starting opening winning designation command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (step S60). For example, when the start buffer value is "1", the performance control board 12 stores the storage address of the first start winning designation command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. to send the first start winning designation command. On the other hand, when the starting mouth buffer value is "2", by storing the storage address of the second starting winning designation command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, etc. 2 Make settings for sending the start winning designation command. The start winning designation command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. be.

Following the process of step S60, CPU 103 saves the random value in the save area corresponding to the reserved storage (step S61). After that, the CPU 103 clears the start buffer and initializes the stored value to "0" (step S62), and then ends the start prize determination process. Thus, even when both the first starter switch 22A and the second starter switch 22B simultaneously detect valid starting winnings of game balls, processing based on the detection of both valid starting winnings can be reliably completed.

(Special pattern normal processing)
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol normal processing. As shown in FIG. 22, in the special symbol normal process, the CPU 103 is a first reserved storage buffer (storage buffer for storing the reserved storage information of the first special symbol) or a second reserved storage buffer (of the second special symbol It is determined whether or not there is reserved storage data in a storage buffer for storing reserved storage information (step S1001). If there is no reserved storage data in either the first reserved storage buffer or the second reserved storage buffer (N in step S1001), it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has passed since the fluctuation stopped (step S1002). When the predetermined period does not pass from the fluctuation stop (N in step S1002), the special symbol normal processing is terminated. On the other hand, when a predetermined period has passed since the fluctuation stop (Y in step S1002), a process for transmitting a customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed (step S1003), and the special symbol normal process ends. Here, when the customer waiting demonstration designation command is transmitted, a customer waiting demonstration designation command transmitted flag indicating that the customer waiting demonstration designation command has been transmitted is set. Then, after transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command, when executing the special symbol normal processing after the next timer interrupt, based on the fact that the customer waiting demonstration designation command transmitted flag is set, the customer It is controlled so as not to send the wait demo designation command. Such a customer waiting demonstration designation command transmitted flag is reset when the variable display of the next special symbol is started.

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

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

By the control of steps S1004 to S1006, if there is even one data of the second reserved storage in the second reserved storage buffer, the variable display of the second special symbol based on the data of the second reserved storage is displayed in the second 1 It is executed with priority to the variable display of the first special symbol based on the data of the reserved storage.

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

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

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

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

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

Next, the CPU 103 transmits a background designation command (step S1010), reads random R (random number for judging a big hit) from the reserve storage buffer, and executes a judging module for a big hit (step S1011). In this case, the CPU 103 reads out the random number for judging a big hit, which is extracted in the starting winning judging process and stored in advance in the first reserve memory buffer or the second reserve memory buffer, and judges the big win. The big-hit determination module is a program that compares a predetermined big-hit determination value (see FIG. 8) with a big-hit determination random number, and executes a process of determining a big-hit if they match. That is, it is a program for executing the process of judging a big hit.

In the process of judging a big hit, when the game state is a variable probability state (high probability state), the probability of becoming a big hit is higher than when the game state is a non-variable probability state (normal game state and time saving state). ing. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values is set in advance to a large number of probability-variable jackpot determination tables (tables in which the numbers in the lower column of FIG. 9 (a) are set), and when the number of jackpot determination values is variable A normal jackpot determination table (a table in which numerical values in the upper column of FIG. 9A are set) is provided, which is set to be smaller than the jackpot determination table. Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the gaming state is the variable probability state, and when the gaming state is the variable probability state, performs the processing for judging the big hit using the variable probability big hit determination table, and the game state is normal. When it is in the state or the time-saving state, the judgment of the big hit is processed using the normal big-hit judgment table. That is, the CPU 103 determines that the special symbol is a big hit when the value of the big-hit determination random number (random 1) matches one of the big-hit determination values shown in FIG. 9(a). If it is determined to be a big hit (Y in step S1011), the process moves to step S1012. Determining whether or not to make a big win means determining whether or not to shift to the big win gaming state, but it also means determining whether or not the stop symbols in the special symbols are to be the big winning symbols. .

It should be noted that confirmation of whether or not the current gaming state is the variable probability state is performed by whether or not the variable probability flag is set. The variable probability flag is set when the game state is shifted to the variable probability state, and is reset when ending the variable probability state. Specifically, the variable probability flag is set in the process of ending the jackpot game, and then the condition that the variable display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) and the condition that the next big hit is determined. It is reset at the timing of ending the variable display of the special symbols and stop-displaying the stop symbols when either of the earlier conditions is established.

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

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

Moreover, CPU103 sets the big-hit classification data which show the determined big-hit classification to the big-hit classification buffer in RAM102 (step S1014).

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

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

(Variation pattern setting process)
FIG. 23 is a flow chart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process. As shown in FIG. 23, in the variation pattern setting process, the CPU 103 determines a post-variation pattern based on randoms 3 and 4 according to the number of pending memories and the presence or absence of a big hit (step S1101). Specifically, the CPU 103 selects the post-variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Determining fluctuation patterns. Further, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 103 selects a post-variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. decide.

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

Next, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a variation pattern command corresponding to the determined variation pattern (previous variation pattern and back variation pattern) to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1103).

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

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

(Special symbol stop processing)
FIG. 25 is a flow chart showing an example of special symbol stop processing. As shown in FIG. 25, in the special symbol stop process, the CPU 103 sets the end flag to terminate the variable display of the special symbols, and displays the stop symbol on the special figure 1 variable display section 21 or the special figure 2 variable display section 22. Control for derived display is performed (step S1301). In addition, when data indicating "first" is set in the special symbol pointer, the variation of the first special symbol in the special symbol 1 variable display section 21 is ended, and "second" is indicated in the special symbol pointer. When the data is set, the variation of the second special symbol in the special figure 2 variable display section 22 is terminated. In addition, a symbol determination designation command is set in the effect control CPU 120 (step S1302). As a result, the symbol confirmation designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 . Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step S1303). Then, when the jackpot flag is not set (N in step S1303), the process proceeds to step S1309.

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

In addition, referring to the opening pattern data stored in the ROM 101, the number of times of opening (for example, 5 times or 10 times), the opening time (for example, 29 seconds), the time between rounds Data indicating an open state such as an interval time (for example, 0.5 seconds) is set in a predetermined storage area (step S1306). For example, in the case of a 3R normal jackpot, an opening mode for opening the normal big winning openings in all of the 1st to 3rd rounds is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102 . In the case of a 5R probability variable jackpot, the opening mode of opening the normal big prize winning opening in the 1st to 3rd and 5th rounds and opening the V big winning opening in the 4th round is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102.例文帳に追加In addition, in the case of a 10R probability variable jackpot, the opening mode of opening the normal big prize winning opening in the 1st to 8th and 10th rounds and opening the V big winning opening in the 9th round is stored in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 102.例文帳に追加. Data on the number of times of opening (5 times or 10 times) is set in an opening number counter for counting the number of times of opening.

Also, a value corresponding to the fanfare time, which is the time for displaying the big win (for example, the time for notifying the occurrence of the big win on the image display device 5), is set to the big winning hole control timer (step S1307). Thereafter, in the big win opening pre-processing, the big winning hole control timer is decremented by 1, and when it reaches 0, the big winning hole is opened and a round is started. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot opening pre-processing (step S114) (step S1308), and the process is terminated.

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

After step S1312, it is determined whether or not the variable probability flag indicating the variable probability state is set (step S1313). When the probability variation flag is set (Y in step S1313), the probability variation flag is reset (step S1314). Next, the CPU 103 transmits a normal state designation command to the effect control CPU 120 in response to the fact that the game state has shifted from the time saving state to the normal state (low probability/low base state) (step S1315), to step S1316. move on. If the variable probability flag is not set in step S1313 (N in step S1313), the process proceeds to step S1315 without performing the process of step S1314. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step S110) (step S1316), and the process is terminated.

(Jackpot opening preprocessing)
FIG. 26 is a flow chart showing an example of the big hit opening pre-processing. As shown in FIG. 26, in the jackpot opening pre-processing, the CPU 103 subtracts and updates the value of the big winning opening control timer by -1 (step S1401). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the big winning hole control timer is 0 (step S1402).

When the value of the big winning opening control timer is 0 (Y in step S1402), a special winning opening open designating command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1403). Then, according to the opening pattern, the solenoid 82 is driven to open the normal big winning opening (step S1404). As a result, the normal big winning opening is opened in the first round.

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

(Processing during jackpot opening)
FIG. 27 is a flow chart showing an example of the process during jackpot opening. As shown in FIG. 27, in the jackpot opening process, the CPU 103 subtracts and updates the value of the big winning opening control timer by -1 (step S1501).

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

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

If the normal big prize opening or the V big prize opening is open (Y in step S1503), it is determined whether the count switch 23 or the V prize switch 24 is turned on (step S1504). If neither the count switch 23 nor the V winning switch 24 is turned on (N in step S1504), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if either the count switch 23 or the V winning switch 24 is ON (Y in step S1504), the winning number counter is incremented by 1 (updated by addition) (step S1505).

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

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

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

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

If the value of the opening number counter is 0 (Y in step S1601), a jackpot end designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1602), and the jackpot end time (that the jackpot game has ended) is set to the big win opening control timer. For example, the time to be notified in the image display device 5) is set (step S1603), the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot end processing (step S117) (step S1604), End the process.

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

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

After step S1608 or step S1609, the CPU 103 transmits a special winning opening open specification command to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1610). Then, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the process during big hit opening (step S115) (step S1611), and ends the process.

(Jackpot end processing)
FIG. 29 is a flow chart showing an example of the jackpot ending process. As shown in FIG. 29, in the jackpot end processing, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the value of the jackpot end control timer set with the jackpot end time (step S1701). Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the big winning hole control timer is 0 (whether or not the jackpot end time has elapsed) (step S1702). If the value of the big winning opening control timer is not 0 (N in step S1702), the process is terminated. If the value of the big winning hole control timer is 0 (Y in step S1702), the big hit flag is reset (step S1703).

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

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

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

In step S1712, a time saving state designation command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 (step S1712). Then, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step S110) (step S1713), and ends the process. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 side can recognize whether it is in any game state, variable probability, short time, or normal, by a variable probability state designation command or the like transmitted from the CPU 103 .

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

(Production control main processing)
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. 30 is executed. FIG. 30 is a flow chart showing an example of the effect control main process. When the production control main processing 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 an ON state each time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, CTC register settings. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (N in step S73), 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, for example, an interrupt generated when 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 emit a prohibit command (DI command). 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 fetched 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 (Y at step S73), 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 transmitted from the main board 11 for 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.

(Production control process processing)
FIG. 31 is a flow chart showing an example of the effect control process processing. Effect control process processing is processing executed in step S76 of FIG. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 31, 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 board 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 S175 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 a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13 to output a sound or sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R, outputting a command (lamp control data) to the LED driver 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. After such effect control is performed, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of decorative patterns is read out from the effect control pattern, or a command designating stop display of fixed decorative patterns 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 waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . When receiving a performance control command designating the start of the big win game state, if the command designates the start of the big win game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4". In addition, when the waiting time for receiving the command has passed without receiving the command designating the start of the jackpot gaming state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the production process flag is set. is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4". In this jackpot middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, effect control patterns corresponding to the effect contents in the big win game state, and executes various effect control in the big win game state based on the set contents. Further, in the jackpot middle effect process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big win game state from the main board 11, the value of the effect process flag is set to "5" which is the value corresponding to the ending effect process. ”, and ends the effect processing during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "5". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big win game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the big win 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.

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

When it is determined that the command corresponding to the non-reach variation pattern is received, the effect control CPU 120 uses the losing pattern determination data table to determine the display result of the losing pattern that does not become the reach as the final stop of the effect pattern (step S7105), and proceeds to step S7106.

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

In addition, when it is not determined to be a loss in the process of step S7101 (when it is determined to be a big hit), the effect control CPU 101 forms a combination of big win symbols according to the type of the big win. A stop design of the effect design is determined (step S7102), and the process proceeds to step S7106.

Next, after executing the effect setting process (step S7106) for setting various effects in the variable display, the process proceeds to step S7107. For example, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not to execute an effect suggesting a big hit (inciting whether or not it is a big hit) in the effect setting process of step S7106. Specifically, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not to execute a cut-in effect shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 101 specifies whether or not to develop to the final reach based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern command, and if it develops to the final reach, a big hit based on the variation pattern. Determine whether or not to execute a cut-in effect based on the determined result of whether or not it is a big hit, and determine the type of cut-in effect (red cut-in effect, green cut-in effect) in the case of execution. do. When executing the cut-in effect, the effect control CPU 101 sets information for executing the cut-in effect in the effect setting process.

In step S7107, the production control pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types of production control patterns. In step S7107, according to the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern command, and the various production control (production operation) patterns specified by the production control pattern of the production determined in the process of step S7106, the pattern fluctuation control pattern One of a plurality of types of pattern variation control patterns stored in a table is selected and determined as a usage pattern, one of which corresponds to various designated performance operation patterns.

In the control pattern table stored in the ROM 121, for example, the performance symbols in the display area of the image display device 5 during the period from the start of the variation of the performance symbols to the stop display of the fixed performance symbols that are the final stop symbols. Data indicating the control contents of various production operations such as variable display operation, production display operation in ready-to-win production, production display operation by simulated series production, and production display operation in advance notice production are stored in multiple types as pattern variation control patterns. It is

In addition, each symbol variation control pattern, for example, effect control process timer set value, effect control process timer judgment value, effect display control data, voice control data, brightness data, and end code, corresponding to the effect symbol variable display Including control data for controlling various production operations, in time series, the contents of various production control, switching timing of production control, etc. are set.

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

After the processing of step S7109 is executed, the production device (the image display device 5 as production parts, various lamps as production parts, and The control of the speakers 8L, 8R) as parts for presentation is started (step S7110). For example, according to the display control execution data, a command is output to display an image (including effect symbols) corresponding to the variation pattern on the image display device 5 . In addition, it outputs a control signal (lamp control data) to an LED driver in order to control lighting/extinguishing of light emitters such as various LEDs. 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.

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

<Details of game progress>
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above, the game progresses as follows. In the pachinko game machine 1, the player first shoots a game ball toward the first flow-down path passing through the left side area of the game area by hitting to the left. When the launched game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special game is started. As a result of the first special figure game, when the special figure 1 variable display section 21 becomes a display mode showing a big win pattern, a big win occurs.

The types of jackpots in the first special game include normal jackpots 1 and 2 and probability variable jackpots 1 to 4, as described above. When a big hit occurs, a fanfare effect is executed, and a right-hand hitting promotion effect is executed to urge the player to hit right. As a right-handed promotion effect, a character (for example, "Right-handed") and a figure (for example, an arrow pointing rightward, which is the direction of the second flow path) are displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 to encourage right-handed hitting. In addition to displaying the image, the hitting to the right display section 30 of the special LED board 20 and the hitting to the right display section 55 of the fourth symbol unit 50 are also encouraged to hit to the right by lighting means such as LEDs. As a result, the player will hit to the right from then on.

During the round of the jackpot game state, the jackpot is opened a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times in the case of a 3R normal jackpot, and 10 times in the case of a 10R probability variable jackpot). The single opening of the big winning opening is determined by the timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). It will continue until whichever comes first.

When the ending effect after the jackpot game state is completed, the game state is controlled to the time saving state over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). Further, when V winning occurs during the big hit round, the game state is controlled to the probability variable state over a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) controlled to the time saving state.

Even in the probability variable state or the time saving state after the big hit round, the right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed by the image display device 5, the right-handed display section 30, and the right-handed display section 55.例文帳に追加Therefore, after the first big win (also called first win) occurs, the player is always urged to hit right by the right-handed promotion performance even in the time saving state after the big win round is finished.

In the time-saving state, control is executed to shorten the average special figure fluctuation time (period to fluctuate the special figure) than the normal state, and the average normal figure fluctuation time (period to fluctuate the general figure) is executed to shorten the normal state, and furthermore, control is executed to improve the probability of becoming a "normal game hit" in the normal state than in the normal state. In addition, in the time-saving state, by increasing the frequency of opening the variable winning ball device 6B forming the second starting winning opening, the frequency of game balls entering the second starting winning opening is increased and the second starting is performed. Electronic chew support control may be performed to facilitate entry into the winning slot (higher entry, higher frequency).

In the time-saving state after the big hit round, the second special game is started by entering the launched game ball into the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B. As a result of the second special figure game, when the special figure 2 variable display section 22 becomes a display mode showing a big win pattern, a big win (also referred to as a winning streak) occurs.

As the types of jackpots in the second special game, there are probability variable jackpots 5 to 9 as described above. When a big hit occurs, a fanfare effect is executed. It should be noted that the right-handed promotion effect by the image display device 5, the right-handed display section 30, and the right-handed display section 55 continues from the time of the first hit.

During the round in the jackpot game state, the jackpot is opened a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times). The single opening of the big winning opening is determined by the timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). It will continue until whichever comes first.

Then, when the ending effect after the big hit game state is completed, the game state is controlled to the time saving state and the probability variable state (high probability high base state) over the fluctuation of a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) as in the case of the first hit. be done. Even in the variable probability state after the big winning rounds in the consecutive wins, the right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed by the image display device 5, the right-handed display section 30, and the right-handed display section 55. - 特許庁For this reason, after the first hit occurs, the player can hit the consecutive chances in the variable probability state or the short time state after the end of the big hit round, Even in the state, it is always urged to hit to the right by the right hitting promotion effect.

After the first big hit round ends, the probability variable state or time saving state ends without a big hit occurring Then, the game state is controlled to the normal state (low-probability-low base state), and the right-handed promotion effect by the image display device 5, right-handed display section 30, and right-handed display section 55 is finished. As a result, the player shoots the game ball toward the first flow-down path passing through the left area of the game area by hitting left again.

<Flow of production>
Next, the flow of a series of effects executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. FIG. 33 is a diagram for explaining the flow of a series of effects. In the pachinko game machine 1, the notification effect is executed from when the variable display is started to when the variable display is stopped. The notification effect is an effect for informing the player whether or not the variation of the special symbols and decorative symbols stops in a manner indicating a big hit, that is, whether or not the game is controlled to a big win game state. The notification effect is made up of a plurality of parts. Includes fanfare part. After the re-lottery part, it becomes a fanfare part to be executed before shifting to the jackpot game state. Note that the inciting part is also called an introductory part. Also, the winning epilogue part and the losing epilogue part are collectively referred to as an epilogue part.

[Start part]
The start part is a part in which an effect corresponding to the previous variation pattern is executed. The start part is also the part that indicates the period from the start of the fluctuation to the start of the SP reach after the pseudo run or normal reach is executed. It should be noted that the start part also includes fluctuations that are non-reachable.

[Promotion part (introduction part)]
The fanning part (introductory part) includes from the start of SP reach (also referred to as super reach) (start timing of SP reach title display) to the timing of heading for a big hit or a loss. In addition, the fanning part is a part for fanning whether the performance to be executed results in a big hit or a loss. The fanning part corresponds to either the part corresponding to SP first half reach A or SP first half reach B executed after the start part, SP second half reach A, SP second half reach B, or SP final reach that develops from SP first half reach. part is included. In addition, SP first half reach A and SP first half reach B may be collectively referred to as SP first half, SP second half reach A, SP second half reach B, and SP final reach may be collectively referred to as SP second half.

[Epilogue part]
The epilogue part includes a winning epilogue part announcing a big win display result and a losing epilogue part announcing a losing display result after each fanning part. In the winning epilogue part, at least in the final part of the epilogue part, a performance is executed by developing a story to inform that the changing pattern is displayed as a big winning result and controlled to a big winning game state. In the losing epilogue part, at least in the final part of the epilogue part, an effect is executed by developing a story to inform that the changing symbols will result in a losing display and the game will not be controlled to a big win game state.

Also, in the epilogue part, the notification that it will be a big hit display result is, like the final reach described later, after the introduction part, when notifying by the movement of the role when performing the success or failure notification, and the SP reach other than the final reach As in the above, there are times when the notification is given by story development on the liquid crystal (image display device 5) without using any accessories. Of the epilogue parts, the hit epilogue part notified by the movement of the accessory is also referred to as the hit/fail notification part. Specifically, in SP first half reach A, B and SP second half reach A, B, in the epilogue part executed after the introduction part, when a big hit occurs, the liquid crystal is used by the hit epilogue part as described above. It is notified that the game is controlled to a big win game state as the end of the story performance, and if no big win occurs, a loss epilogue part informs that the story performance using the liquid crystal is not controlled to the big win game state. The first story development in the story production may suggest whether it is a hit or not. On the other hand, in the final reach, in the epilogue part that is executed after the introductory part, first of all, there is a branch as to whether or not the jackpot game state is controlled by the action of the role product by the success/failure notification part (the role product operation part). After that, when a big win occurs, the winning epilogue part as described above informs that the game will be controlled to the big win game state as the end of the story production using the liquid crystal, and when no big win occurs, the losing epilogue part informs the liquid crystal. As the end of the story presentation using , it is notified that the game is not controlled to the jackpot game state. Thus, the winning epilogue part in the final reach includes the winning or losing reporting part and the winning epilogue part or the losing epilogue part that follows.

Also, corresponding to the SP first half reach A, the winning epilogue part of the SP first half reach A and the losing epilogue part of the SP first half reach A are executed. Corresponding to the SP first half reach B, the winning epilogue part of the SP first half reach B and the losing epilogue part of the SP first half reach B are executed. Corresponding to the SP latter half reach A, the winning epilogue part of the SP latter half reach A and the losing epilogue part of the SP latter half reach A are executed. Corresponding to the SP latter half reach B, the winning epilogue part of the SP latter half reach B and the losing epilogue part of the SP latter half reach B are executed. Corresponding to the SP final reach, the SP final reach winning epilogue part and the SP final reach losing epilogue part are executed.

[Accessory movement part]
The character action part is a part corresponding to the period during the development of the latter half of the SP during which an effect indicating that the game progresses from the first half of the SP to the latter half of the SP is executed by operating the movable body 32 . The role object action part is executed after the premonition part of SP first half reach A or the premonition part of SP reach first half B. After the accessory action part, any one of the SP latter half reach A boosting part, the SP latter half reach B boosting part, and the SP final reach boosting part is executed.

[Benefit Part]
The relief winning part is a part in which a relief winning performance is executed to make it look like a loss and then suggest a big win. The rescue winning part is a part that can develop from either the losing epilogue part of SP second half reach A, the losing epilogue part of SP second half reach B, or the losing epilogue part of SP final reach.

[Re-lottery part]
The re-lottery part is a part executed after the winning epilogue part in which the big win display result is displayed. Specifically, the re-lottery effect is the winning epilogue part of SP first half reach A, the winning epilogue part of SP reaching first half B, the winning epilogue part of SP second half reach A, the winning epilogue part of SP second half reach B, and the winning epilogue part of SP second half reach B. Executed after the hit epilogue part and the relief hit part. In this embodiment, the re-lottery part is always executed after each winning part (winning epilogue part, relief winning part), but there may be a case where the re-lottery effect part is not performed. For example, after the relief part, the re-lottery part may not be executed, the re-lottery part may not be executed after the hit epilogue part, and the probability variation pattern (that it will be a probability variation) as a result of the hit display The re-lottery part may not be executed when the odd number symbol shown) is derived.

[Relationship before and after determination]
Next, an example of a case where a series of presentations is divided at timings before and after determination of success or failure will be described. FIG. 34 is a diagram for explaining the relationship before and after determination of success or failure, the SP first half reach A jackpot, and the SP final reach jackpot. Here, the win/fail decision is an effect that indicates the branching result of the big win display result or the losing display result in the final stage of the fanning part. As shown in FIG. 34(A), a series of performances can be divided into parts that are executed before and after determination of success or failure at timings before and after determination of success or failure from the start of variation to the end of variation. The part before the judgment of suitability includes the start part and the fanning part. In addition, the part after the success/failure determination includes an epilogue part (hit/lost), a relief winning part, and a re-lottery part.

In this way, a series of effects from the start of variation to the stop of variation are composed of a plurality of parts. Also, the period from the start of fluctuation to the stop of fluctuation can be divided into before and after the start of SP reach (after the start of fluctuation). In such a case, before the start of SP reach corresponds to the fluctuation pattern of the previous fluctuation described above, and after the start of SP reach corresponds to the fluctuation pattern of the post fluctuation described above.

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

Next, the variation pattern of the main variation number 26, which is the variation pattern for the SP final reach big hit, among the variation patterns will be described with reference to FIG. 34(C). In the variation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the start part is from the start of variation to the start of SP reach (after the start of variation). Then, from the start of the SP reach (the start of the later fluctuation) to the development of the second half of the SP is the fanning part (first half of the SP reach A). And from the development of the second half of the SP to the determination of whether it is right or wrong will be the fanning part (SP final reach). In the fluctuation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the accessory is not moved at the timing of the winning/failing determination. Then, from the determination of success or failure to the start of the re-lottery effect is the epilogue part (per SP final reach). Then, the re-lottery part is from the start of the re-lottery effect to the stop of the fluctuation. For example, in the variation pattern of the SP final reach jackpot, the start part is 60 seconds, the fanning part (SP first half reach A) is 20 seconds, the fanning part (SP final reach) is 25 seconds, and the epilogue part (SP final reach) is 30 seconds. The time is set so that the second part is 20 seconds and the re-lottery part is 20 seconds.

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

<Mechanism of output to LED driver (lamp driver)>
FIG. 52 is a diagram for explaining the mechanism of output to the LED driver. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12 turns on/blinks/lights off one or more lamps (LEDs) among a plurality of lamps (LEDs) included in the game effect lamp 9. It outputs luminance data for making the LED driver (also called a lamp driver). In addition, below, the control of lighting / blinking / light extinction performed with respect to lamps, such as LED, by CPU120 for production|presentation control is also called lamp control. Based on the brightness data received from the effect control CPU 120, the LED driver adjusts the current flowing through each lamp in order to turn on/blink/extinguish each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 subject to lamp control. Each game effect lamp 9 lights/blinks/lights off based on the current adjusted by the LED driver.

More specifically, the ROM 121 and RAM 122 of the effect control board 12 store a brightness data table storing brightness data for lamp control of each game effect lamp 9 . The brightness data table is the error brightness data table used when an error occurs, and the brightness for SP reach used in each part during SP reach (flashing part, winning epilogue part, losing epilogue part, character action part, etc.) It includes a data table and a luminance data table for background.

Furthermore, the background brightness data table includes a normal background brightness data table used in a low probability/low base state (normal state), a fanfare background brightness data table used in a fanfare state in which a fanfare effect is executed, and a jackpot game. The jackpot background brightness data table used during the round of the state, the ending background brightness data table used in the ending state in which the ending effect that informs the end of the jackpot game state is executed, and the high probability high base state (probability variable state) and a variable background brightness data table used in the state).

Each of the background luminance data tables described above is used without overlapping, and is controlled to any one of a plurality of game states such as a normal state, a fanfare state, a jackpot game state, an ending state, and a variable probability state. One of the background brightness data tables is used depending on whether the That is, the effect control CPU 120 uses one of the background luminance data tables for each gaming state under control, and outputs luminance data based on the background luminance data table to the LED driver. As a result, each game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled according to the game state being controlled.

Furthermore, the priority of each of the error luminance data table, the SP reach luminance data table, and the background luminance data table is determined when they are used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 52, the priority is higher when used in the order of the error luminance data table, the SP reach luminance data table, and the background luminance data table.

For example, the production control CPU 120, when developing into SP reach while outputting luminance data based on the normal background luminance data table in the normal state, the SP reach luminance data table corresponding to the SP reach is displayed in the normal background. The SP reach luminance data table is used preferentially over the SP reach luminance data table, and luminance data is output to the LED driver based on the SP reach luminance data table. As a result, when the game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled in a mode corresponding to the normal state based on the brightness data table for normal background, when SP reach occurs, a mode corresponding to SP reach occurs based on the brightness data table for SP reach. , the game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled. While the brightness data based on the brightness data table for SP reach is output to the LED driver, the brightness data based on the brightness data table for normal background is not output to the LED driver. When the state returns to normal, luminance data based on the background luminance data table is output to the LED driver, and when a big hit results in a fanfare state, luminance data based on the fanfare background luminance data table is output to the LED driver. output.

More specifically, the effect control CPU 120 uses a background luminance data table corresponding to the game state under control while timing the lamp control time corresponding to the game state under control with a timer. However, if it develops into SP reach or the like, the luminance data table for SP reach corresponding to the SP reach is preferentially used over the luminance data table for background and the luminance data is output to the LED driver. During this time, the effect control CPU 120 keeps updating the value of the timer without stopping the clocking of the lamp control time using the background luminance data table. In other words, the effect control CPU 120 continues to update the luminance data contained in the background luminance data table even while the game effect lamp 9 is under lamp control based on the SP ready-to-win luminance data table. Since the luminance data contained in the data table has a lower priority than the luminance data contained in the SP reach luminance data table, the luminance data contained in the background luminance data table is not output to the LED driver. ing. After the end of the SP reach, the effect control CPU 120 starts outputting the luminance data included in the background luminance data table to the LED driver again from the continuation of the luminance data that has been continuously updated.

Also, for example, if an error occurs while outputting luminance data based on the luminance data table for SP reach during SP reach, the effect control CPU 120 outputs the luminance data table for error corresponding to the error to SP reach. The error luminance data table is used preferentially over the error luminance data table, and the luminance data is output to the LED driver based on the error luminance data table. As a result, if an error occurs while the game effect lamp 9 is under lamp control in a mode corresponding to SP reach based on the brightness data table for SP reach, a game effect is generated in a mode corresponding to the error based on the brightness data table for error. Lamp 9 is lamp controlled. While the brightness data based on the error brightness data table is output to the LED driver, the brightness data based on the SP reach brightness data table is not output to the LED driver. When returning to the game state of , the brightness data based on the brightness data table for SP reach is output to the LED driver.

More specifically, the effect control CPU120, while measuring the time of the lamp control corresponding to the SP reach under control by the timer, using the brightness data table for the SP reach corresponding to the SP reach to the LED driver brightness Data is output, but when an error occurs, the brightness data table for error corresponding to the error is preferentially used over the brightness data table for SP reach, and brightness data is output to the LED driver. During this time, the effect control CPU 120 keeps updating the value of the timer without stopping the time measurement of the lamp control using the brightness data table for SP reach. That is, the effect control CPU 120 continues to update the luminance data included in the SP reach luminance data table even while the game effect lamp 9 is under lamp control based on the error luminance data table, but the SP reach luminance data table Since the luminance data contained in the luminance data table has a lower priority than the luminance data contained in the error luminance data table, the luminance data contained in the SP reach luminance data table should not be output to the LED driver. It's becoming After the error is released, the effect control CPU 120 starts outputting the luminance data contained in the luminance data table for SP reach to the LED driver again from the continuation of the luminance data that has been continuously updated.

<Lighting Mode of Game Effect Lamp>

In the present embodiment, such a state of the attacker lamp 9E in which the RGB data is "111" may be referred to as "substantially extinguished" for the sake of convenience.

As shown in FIG. 53(X1), when WWW (White, White, White) data defined as luminance data of the V-attacker lamp 9F is "000", the V-attacker lamp 9F is "turned off". Further, when the luminance data (WWW data) of the V-attacker lamp 9F is "111", the V-attacker lamp 9F is lit with extremely low luminance. In the present embodiment, such a state of the V-attacker lamp 9F in which the WWW data is "111" may be referred to as "almost extinguished" for convenience.

<Description of Characteristic Portions in Effect Mode of Pachinko Machine 1>
Next, a detailed description will be given of the characteristic portions and modifications of the performance mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above.

(Start 5)
The aforementioned shutter is an image that, when closed, renders the image of the effect being executed behind invisible, and when it is opened after being closed, the image of the effect being executed becomes visible. Also, the shutter is executed at a timing related to the fanning part, that is, before the fanning part starts. Then, when the shutter is closed, the screen brightness is reduced as the area where the effect is visible becomes narrower, and when the shutter is open, the screen brightness is decreased as the area where the effect is visible becomes wider. becomes higher. According to this, the flow of production can be favorably shown by making the closure and opening of the shutter realistic. In addition, although the image of the shutter is used to make the image of the effect that is executed in the back invisible or visible, it may be an image other than the shutter, and the same effect is executed with the character. may

(Start 6)
Further, the shutter described above is in a form in which it closes from the upper and lower ends of the screen toward the center of the screen. According to this, it is possible to favorably show an effect in which the screen brightness gradually changes. Also, the shutters may be closed from both ends of the screen toward the center like a fusuma (sliding door). Alternatively, the shutter may be closed from the upper end of the screen toward the lower end of the screen.

(Start 7)
Also, as shown in FIG. 58 described above, the image of the edge of the shutter is expressed in black. According to this, just before the shutter closes completely as shown in FIG. 58(a12), the boundary between the effect executed when the screen luminance is lowered and the edge of the shutter can be blurred, and the sense of incongruity can be eliminated. . When the shutter begins to open as shown in FIG. 60(a16), it is possible to eliminate the discomfort.

(Start 8)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 60 and 61 described above, after the shutter is opened, the SP first half reach is started. Until the shutter is fully opened, the effect of the SP first half reach is not started and the screen brightness is gradually increased, and after the shutter is opened, the SP first half effect proceeds. According to this, it is possible to prevent dissatisfaction due to execution of the effect before the shutter is opened because the effect of the SP first half reach is the effect that the player wants to pay attention to.

(Start 10)
In addition, as shown in FIG. 57(a9) described above, the brightness of the screen decreases first before the shutter starts to close, and the shutter closes completely at the timing when the shutter closes completely. . Here, if the brightness of the screen is lowered in conjunction with the shutter closing timing, the speed of the screen darkening may become too fast. Therefore, by starting to lower the screen brightness in advance, the speed of screen darkening can be made appropriate, and a series of presentations can be favorably shown.

(Start 12)
In addition, until the shutter is opened, the player does not know which SP first half reach is to be started. According to this, it is possible to have expectations about which production will be executed.

(Start 13)
It should be noted that the effect by the shutter described above may be executed at a timing other than the timing that develops in the first half of the SP. For example, it may be the timing from the second re-variation to the third re-variation in the pseudo-run. In addition, when the shutter is closed and then opened, an icon image (for example, a green pending image) that suggests a change in active pending, which is a pending display of the change, is displayed, and active pending is displayed in response to the icon image. It may be changed (for example, from blue to green). In addition, the effect by the shutter may be executed at the timing of developing from the SP first half reach to the SP second half reach. According to this, it is possible to improve the interest of the presentation by the shutter.

(Start 15)
In addition to the above-described pattern in which the shutter is closed and automatically opened, a pattern in which a button image is displayed after the shutter is closed and the shutter is opened by executing a button operation may be provided. According to this, since a plurality of kinds of effects by the shutter are provided, the attraction of the effects by the shutter is improved.

(Provocation 1)
In addition, the above-mentioned agitation part for inciting the right or wrong has a production that is updated by the development in which the friendly characters and the enemy characters alternately fight (for example, SP first half reach B, SP second half reach B, etc.). In the production of such a teasing part, there is a scene in which a friendly character takes damage. In addition, in the effect of such a rousing part, the image display switching interval is shorter than that of the epilogue part, and the number of image display switching is large. According to this, it is possible to suitably show the fanning part by making the fanning part develop faster than the epilogue part.

(Provocation 2)
Also, as shown in FIG. 63(b5) and the like described above, in the teasing part, the lines of the teammate character are generated first, and the subtitles corresponding to the lines are displayed. According to this, the teammate character can be favorably recognized in the teasing part.

(Instigation 3)
Note that the caption display of the teammate character displayed first may be set to be displayed for a longer period of time than the caption display in another scene of the teasing part. According to this, the ally character can be recognized firmly.

(Instigation 4)
Also, as shown in FIG. 67(b17) and the like described above, there is a scene in which subtitles are not displayed when an ally character utters a line. According to this, it is possible to preferably show the caption display of the teammate character that is displayed first, and to show the screen display more preferably than adding the caption display to all the lines.

(Instigation 5)
In addition, in the above-mentioned inflection part, SP first half reach A and SP first half reach B as the first inflection part executed in the first half timing, and SP second half reach A as the second inflection part executed in the second half timing , SP latter half reach B, and SP final reach. In addition, there is a scene in which the ally character plays an active role in both the first and second teasing parts. Also, in any of the teasing parts, the line of the friendly character was generated first, and the caption corresponding to the line was displayed. According to this, the teammate character can be favorably recognized in any of the fanning parts.

(Instigation 6)
In addition, in the agitation part mentioned above, in the agitation part corresponding to reach B in the first half of the SP, Yume-chan's character is active, and in the agitation part corresponding to the second half of SP reach B, the characters of Jam-chan and Nana-chan are active. There were occasions when it worked. In Reach B in the first half of the SP, a line by Yume-chan, who is an ally character who plays an active role first, is generated, and subtitles corresponding to the line are displayed. In Reach B in the second half of the SP, dialogues by Jam-chan and Nana-chan, the friendly characters who are active first, were generated, and subtitles corresponding to the dialogues were displayed. According to this, the friendly character can be favorably recognized in any of the fanning parts. In addition, the number of active characters may be one or two or more. Also, the same character may play an active role in the first half and the second half of the excitement part.

(Provocation 11)
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 63(b5) and (b6), there is a scene in which each character speaks a line under a situation in which an ally character and an enemy character are displayed. Under such circumstances, the subtitle display for the dialogue is displayed in a fixed size and at a fixed display position. According to this, by not changing the display mode of the lines for each character, it is possible to reduce the chances of bugs getting angry.

(Inciting cut-in 2)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 127(r39) to 128(r42), at the timing when the cut-in display is executed, the caption display is displayed before the prompt display of the button image is displayed. According to this, since the button image can be continuously shown to the player who is watching the screen while paying attention to the subtitle display, the button image can be prevented from being overlooked, and the cut-in display can be suitably executed. can be done.

(Inciting cut-in 3)
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 128(r41) to 130(r47), there is no dialog for a predetermined period after the cut-in display ends. Then, after a predetermined period of time without words has passed, the words are spoken, and subtitles are displayed for the said words. According to this, the player can concentrate on the effect during the period after the cut-in display, and a suitable cut-in display can be performed.

(Yes or No 1)
In addition, as shown in FIG. 132 (r54) described above, the scene of the success/failure decision was between the fanning part and the epilogue part. Then, in the scene of winning/failing determination, the player is informed whether or not the player has won a big hit after operating the trigger as the operating means. In addition, in the scene of winning or failing, the accessory was moved after the trigger operation in the case of a big hit. According to this, the attraction of the presentation is improved by making it a suitable scene for deciding whether to use the operating means.

(Yes or No 2)
Also, as shown in FIGS. 130 (r47) to 132 (r54), before the image corresponding to the operation means is displayed, subtitles are displayed by the teammate character, and then, on the screen corresponding to the operation means, The effect that was being executed becomes invisible. Then, the effect executed after that becomes recognizable again together with the image of the operating means. According to this, it is possible to give an impact by displaying the introduction of the operation means on the entire screen, and to display the performance that has been firmly executed at the timing when the operation means can be operated, so that the progress of the performance can be favorably shown. .

(Yes or No 3)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 130 (r48) to 131 (r51), while the introductory images (images (r49) to (r50)) for enabling operation of the operating means are displayed, are also being staged. According to this, by advancing the effect behind the scenes, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the image (the image of (r51)) in which the operation means can be operated, and also to make the player pay attention to the development of the effect.

(Yes or No 4)
132 (r51) to FIG. 132 (r54), when the trigger image as the promotion display was displayed, the tail slightly moved at each image change in the Bakuchu image. In this way, the effect may proceed while the promotion display is being displayed. Here, the progress of the presentation may include a scene change or a character action instead of just moving the tail. According to this, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the development of the presentation during the promotion display.

(Yes or No 5)
Further, the effect progressing while the prompting display is displayed progresses slower than the effect executed before the prompting display is displayed. According to this, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the prompting display for operating the operation means, and to balance the prompting display and the progress of the effect. It should be noted that the effect that progresses while the promotion display is displayed may be slower than the effect that progresses while the introductory image is displayed. According to this, it is possible to make a difference in the progress speed of the effect during display of the promotion display and during display of the introductory image.

(Yes or No 6)
Also, it is preferable to echo the dialogue before the introduction image is displayed as shown in FIG. 130 (r47). According to this, the player can be excited before the introductory image is displayed.

(Yes or No 7)
Also, as shown in FIGS. 130(r47) to 131(r49) described above, the introductory image is displayed after the subtitle display before the introductory image is displayed is deleted. According to this, it is possible to prevent the display timings of the introductory image and the caption display from overlapping.

(Yes or No 14)
95 (i36) to FIG. 96 (i39), the image displaying the two characters, Yume-chan and Jam-chan, is gradually enlarged and displayed, and at the timing of (i39), 1 A single image is displayed while stationary for a predetermined period. After that, if it is a big hit, the video of the winning epilogue part will be played, and if it is a loss, the video of the losing epilogue part will be played. During the period in which one image is statically displayed for a predetermined period of time, one image can be reused for use, so that it is possible to reduce the amount of data and favorably promote the success/failure decision scene. It should be noted that during the period in which the images in which the two characters are displayed are gradually enlarged and displayed, as many images (for example, 10) as shown in FIGS. may be used.

(Yes or No 16)
131 (r49) to FIG. 132 (r54), there is an introductory image display period in which images corresponding to the stick controller 31A (trigger) are displayed in the center of the screen. Afterwards, there is a period of time during which prompts for activating the trigger are displayed. During the display period of the prompt display, a plurality of images are gradually moved to make it appear as if the character is moving. After that, by operating the trigger at the branching scene of winning/failing determination, if the game is a big hit, the image of the winning epilogue part is played, and if the game is lost, the video of the losing epilogue part is played. These periods are periods during which dynamic display is performed in which images appear to be moving. According to this, a series of effects can be executed in a dynamic flow, and a suitable flow of effects can be obtained.

(Yes or No 18)
In addition, the winning epilogue part and the losing epilogue part after the success/failure determination scene shown in FIGS. 133(s1) to 136(s10) and FIGS. In the winning epilogue part, an image corresponding to the winning epilogue part is played after the performance of the character action. Also, in the unsuccessful epilogue part, the screen turns black after the production corresponding to the unsuccessful epilogue part, and then returns to the normal screen. According to this, since it becomes the flow which switches a plurality of images after the scene of winning/failure determination, it can be set as the flow of suitable production|presentation.

(Epilogue 1)
The winning epilogue part described above is a part that does not transition when the game is lost, and is a part that has a scene in which the enemy character is at a disadvantage and a scene in which the ally character is at an advantage. Also, in the winning epilogue part, the number of image display switches in the production is smaller than in the fanning part. According to this, an appropriate effect can be executed in each part, and the flow of a series of effects can be favorably shown.

(Epilogue 4)
As shown in FIG. 104 (n10) described above, subtitles are not displayed for the dialogue of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character receives damage in the teasing part. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 110(o1), subtitles are added to the dialogue of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character receives damage (scene of catching crabs) in the winning epilogue part. According to this, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles that were not displayed in the inciting part are displayed, so that the feeling of blessing can be emphasized.

(Epilogue 6)
As shown in FIGS. 134(s5) to (s6) described above, the subtitle display displayed in the winning epilogue part is designed to be displayed for a longer period than the subtitle display displayed in the introductory part. According to this, by displaying the subtitle display in the final winning epilogue part for a long period of time, the player can be immersed in the afterglow of the big win and the feeling of blessing can be emphasized. It should be noted that, when the caption display is displayed, the larger the number of characters, the longer it may be displayed than the smaller the number. Even in such a case, if the same number of subtitles (for example, 5 characters) are displayed in the winning epilogue part and the introductory part, the period during which the subtitles are displayed is longer in the winning epilogue part. should be designed as

(Epilogue 15)
As shown in FIGS. 134(s6) to 135(s8), the final caption display for the final line in the winning epilogue part is designed to be erased before the design effect is executed. . According to this, it is possible to prevent the caption display from being covered with the decoration pattern and misunderstanding that it is a message in the effect of the pattern display. Therefore, it is possible to suitably show the effect in the winning epilogue part.

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

(Epilogue 18)
As shown in FIG. 135 (s7) described above, the image that was playing in the winning epilogue part becomes a still image at the timing before the symbol presentation effect is executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the pattern from becoming difficult to see from the timing of the start of drawing out the pattern.

(Epilogue 19)
As shown in FIG. 135(s7) described above, the still picture displayed in the winning epilogue part has a special graphic style. According to this, by adding a special effect to the still picture, it is possible to make a suitable epilogue part by emphasizing that the picture is still and suggesting that the scene has changed.

(Epilogue 21)
It is desirable that the caption display before the pattern display shown in FIG. 134(s6) described above should not have the fade effect of gradually erasing the display. Here, a fade effect may be added to the caption display that is displayed at other timings to gradually erase the display. According to this, except for the final subtitle display, it is possible to effectively switch by adding a fade effect, and by instantaneously erasing the final subtitle display, the final subtitle display overlaps the decorative pattern. It is possible to prevent the message from being put away and the misunderstanding that it is a message in the performance of designing. Therefore, it is possible to suitably show the effect in the winning epilogue part.

(Epilogue 22)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, both the decoration pattern and the small pattern are displayed during the design effect. An effect image with concentrated lines is added to the decoration pattern, but no effect image is added to the small pattern. Furthermore, the decoration pattern has a higher priority than the decoration pattern and the effect image and is displayed on the near side. According to this, it is possible to make it possible to make it possible to recognize that the small symbols are in the process of being changed while enhancing the production effect of the effect image with respect to the decorative symbols, and to make a suitable winning epilogue part.

(Epilogue 23)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, both the decoration pattern and the small pattern are displayed during the design effect. Here, the movement of the decorative design and the small design may be synchronized at the timing when the design of the decorative design is completed. Concretely, during the pattern shaking period in which the decoration pattern is completed and the pattern swings up and down, the small pattern may also swing up and down in the same motion as the decoration pattern. According to this, by synchronizing the movement of the decoration pattern and the small pattern, it is possible to suitably show the flow of the effect in the winning epilogue part.

(Epilogue 24)
As shown in FIGS. 157(B1) to 158(B5) described above, both decorative patterns and small patterns are displayed during the effect of drawing out patterns in the re-lottery part. An effect image with concentrated lines is added to the decoration pattern, but no effect image is added to the small pattern. Furthermore, the decoration pattern has a higher priority than the decoration pattern and the effect image and is displayed on the near side. According to this, it is possible to make it possible to recognize that the small symbols are being changed and displayed while increasing the performance effect of the effect image with respect to the decorative symbols.

(Epilogue 25)
As shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, both the decoration pattern and the small pattern may be displayed in a state where the patterns are aligned once when the design is produced. Then, in conjunction with the shift to the re-lottery part, both the decoration design and the small design may change again. According to this, the decoration pattern and the small pattern can be displayed in a suitable manner in synchronization.

(Re-lottery production 3)
As shown in FIG. 142 (A5) described above, in the final state of the design presentation in the winning epilogue part, the decorative patterns are displayed in a trembling manner, and an effect image with concentrated lines is added. Even when the background is switched from that state to the background of the re-lottery effect as shown in (A6), the effect image with the concentrated lines is continuously added. Also, the game effect lamp 9 is switched from smooth rainbow lighting to extinguished. In other words, from the design to the re-lottery production, the pattern fluctuation and effect mode continue, and the background and the lamp are designed to switch. According to this, it is possible to make it easy to understand from which decoration pattern the re-lottery effect started.

(Re-lottery production 6)
As shown in FIGS. 144 (A10) to 156 (A46) and 157 (B1) to 158 (B5) described above, in the re-lottery effect, the reduced size decorative pattern is used to advance the pattern, and the button is displayed. Then, when the player operates the button, an effect of displaying a symbol in which the symbol is enlarged and displayed is executed. In other words, from the moment the pattern is put out, the decoration pattern that is finally notified is displayed in an enlarged manner. According to this, since the symbol is finally announced from the start of enlargement, it is possible to show the player what the final notification symbol is in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Re-lottery production 16)
141(A1) to 142(A5) and the pattern output in FIGS. 161(C1) to 162(C5) are executed using substantially the same image. Concretely, the same image is used for the pattern output by the "2" pattern and the effect image, and the pattern output is executed in such a manner that the background portion is different. According to this, it is possible to make the image of the pattern output substantially the same, so that it is possible to clearly show to the player that the game has not been promoted to the definite variable pattern. It should be noted that the image of the patterned portion including the background may be completely the same.

(Re-lottery production 17)
In the above-described pattern display effect, a series of effects are executed in which the pattern is displayed in an enlarged size and then displayed in the normal size at the center of the screen. According to this, it is possible to favorably show a series of design effects by enlarging and reducing the design.

(Re-lottery production 18)
In the above-described symbol presentation performance, common symbol presentation data may be used in the symbol presentation presentation data in the winning epilogue part and the symbol presentation presentation data in the re-lottery presentation. Then, a series of pattern presentation effects may be executed by combining common pattern presentation data and a plurality of decorative designs. According to this, it is possible to reduce the data volume while favorably displaying the design effect. It should be noted that substantially the same data may be used for the symbol appearance effect data in the winning epilogue part and the symbol appearance effect data in the re-lottery effect.

<Detailed description of production modes>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 165 to 191, a detailed description will be given of characteristic portions and modifications to which particular mention should be made with respect to the above-described presentation mode.

[Regarding inciting 12, 13, 15]
In FIG. 165, characteristic parts of the fanning part are numbered and explained.

(Detailed explanatory diagram of parts (b11) to (b13))
FIG. 165 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the portions (b11) to (b13) of the SP first half reach A described above. As shown in FIG. 165(b11), the relationship between Yume-chan and Baku-chu on the screen is such that, in the horizontal direction, Yume-chan is on the left and Baku-chu is on the right. In accordance with this character arrangement, the frame left lamp lights up in green corresponding to Mumu-chan, and the frame right lamp lights up in red corresponding to Bakuchu. In addition, in the state of (b11), Yume-chan's line "Wait~" is output as the dialogue sound, Yume-chan's footsteps "za-za-za" are output as physical sounds, and Baku-chu's footsteps as physical sounds are output. Tata-ta-tat” is output.

Also, as shown in (b11), the relationship between Mumu-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is such that Bakuchu is in front and Mumu-chan is in the back in the front-rear direction. The positional relationship seen by the player is that Bakuchu is near and Mumu is far away. On the other hand, the volume relationship is as follows: Yume-chan's line sound of "Wait~" > Bakuchu's footsteps, "ta-ta-ta-ta-" > Yume-chan's footsteps, "za-za-za-za". In this way, the volume data is set so that Mumu-chan's dialogue sounds louder than the footsteps of Bakuchu, who is closer.

In FIG. 165(b12), the relationship between Yume-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is the same as in the state of (b11) in both the left-right direction and the front-rear direction. In (b12), no dialogue sound is output, and Yume-chan's footsteps "za-za-za-za" as physical sounds and Baku-chu's footsteps as physical sounds "tata-tata-tata" are output. The relationship between the volumes is as follows: "Bakuchu's footsteps 'ta-ta-ta-ta' > Yume-chan's footsteps 'za-za-za'." In this way, when dialogue sounds are not output, the volume data is set so that the footsteps of the closer Bakuchu are louder than the footsteps of Yume-chan, who is farther away, so as to match the context on the screen.

In FIG. 165 (b13), the relationship between Mumu-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is such that, in the horizontal direction, Mumu-chan is on the left and Bakuchu is on the right. In addition, in the state of (b13), Bakuchu's line "Catch me!" "Ta-ta-ta-ta" is output. Also, as shown in (b13), the relationship between Mumu-chan and Bakuchu on the screen is such that Mumu-chan is in front and Bakuchu is in the back. The positional relationship seen by the player is that Mumu-chan is nearby and Bakuchu is far away. On the other hand, the relationship of the volume is as follows: the sound of the blasting lines of "Tararumonka!" > Yume-chan's footsteps, ``Za-za-za'' > the blasting footsteps, ``Tata-tata-ta''. In this way, the volume data is set so that the farther Bakuchu's dialogue sounds are louder than the closer Yume-chan's footsteps.

(Provocation 12)
In the fanning part, SP reach BGM is output, and there is a scene where dialogue sound and physical sound (also referred to as action sound) overlap with each other. When the dialogue sound and the physical sound are output at the timing when the dialogue sound and the physical sound overlap each other, the dialogue sound is output with a louder volume than the physical sound when output from the speakers 8L and 8R. According to this, by outputting the physical sound as a part of the production, the reality of the production is brought out, and when the dialogue sound and the physical sound overlap, the dialogue sound is output loudly, so that the contents of the production are conveyed to the player. It can be easily transmitted. Therefore, as a result, it is possible to show the performance in the fanning part better.

(Provocation 13)
Here, a work process for actually creating various effects in the pachinko game machine 1 will be described. First, in the pachinko game machine 1, images for each effect corresponding to the variable time such as SP reach are created. In accordance with this video, special software is used to add production sounds such as BGM, physical sounds, onomatopoeia, sound effects, and dialogue sounds one by one. The finished image and sound are played, and the strength of the sound is added. In such a series of work processes, rather than outputting sound with reality while maintaining the actual sense of distance in the image, sound is output that ignores reality and ignores the actual sense of distance that is easily conveyed to the player. Sound data is set as follows. As a result, a series of presentations can be shown favorably.

(Provocation 15)
In addition, when the dialog sound of a character whose sense of distance is far from the player overlaps with the physical sound of which the player has a close sense of distance, the sound data is set so that the dialog sound sounds louder than the physical sound. It is As a result, a sound is output that discards reality and ignores the actual sense of distance that is easily conveyed to the player, so that the content of the presentation can be easily conveyed to the player.

[Regarding inciting 14 and 16]
In FIGS. 166 and 167, characteristic parts of the fanning part are numbered and explained.

(Description of volume level)
FIG. 166 is a diagram for explaining volume levels. As shown in FIG. 166(A), among the sounds output from the pachinko gaming machine 1, the relationship between the volume levels of dialogue sounds, physical sounds (footsteps), and SP reach BGM will be described. The level of the volume to be output has a relationship of dialogue sound>physical sound (footsteps)>SP reach BGM. Also, when these three sounds overlap, the method of outputting the sounds differs between the dialogue sounds with subtitles and the dialogue sounds without subtitles.

As shown in FIG. 166(B), in the case of speech sounds with subtitles, when speech sounds (with subtitles) and physical sounds and BGM of SP reach are output at the timing at which they overlap, the volume of BGM of SP reach is increased. It is controlled to reduce the level and output. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. The physical sound (footsteps)>SP reach BGM is controlled to be output without changing any volume level while maintaining the relationship.

(Provocation 14)
In this way, when the physical sound of the character and the dialogue sound are output together, the dialogue sound is adjusted and output so that it sounds louder than the physical sound. For example, when the physical sound and the dialogue sound are output together, as shown in FIG. 166(B), the SP reach BGM is adjusted to be smaller in accordance with the output period of the dialogue sound. By doing so, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the presentation while presenting reality.

(Provocation 16)
Also, as shown in FIGS. 166B and 166C, when there is a subtitle for the dialogue sound overlapping the physical sound and when there is no subtitle for the dialogue sound overlapping the physical sound, there is a subtitle for the dialogue sound. In the case, it is adjusted so that it sounds louder because the volume of the SP reach BGM is lowered. Dialogue sounds with subtitles are more relevant to SP reach content than dialogue sounds without subtitles. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the presentation by outputting loudly the dialogue sound with subtitles related to the content of the SP reach.

(Description of volume level)
FIG. 167 is a diagram for explaining volume levels. A method of effectively outputting the volume by a method different from that of FIG. 166 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 167 and FIG. 166, the relationship of the output sound volume level is the same: dialog sound>physical sound (footsteps)>SP reach BGM. However, as shown in FIG. 167(B), when the character's physical sound and dialogue sound are output together, the dialogue sound is adjusted to be louder than the physical sound.

(Provocation 16)
As shown in FIGS. 167(B) and 167(C), the case where the dialogue sound overlapping the physical sound has subtitles and the case where the dialogue sound overlapping the physical sound does not have subtitles are different. Only one side is adjusted to increase the volume. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the presentation by outputting loudly the dialogue sound with subtitles related to the content of the SP reach.

[About Inciting 7 and 8]
In FIGS. 168 to 170, characteristic parts of the fanning part are numbered and explained.

(Detailed explanatory diagram of (r24) to (r27) parts)
FIG. 168 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the (r24) to (r27) portions of the final reach described above. As shown in (r24), when the AD character is up, the game effect lamp 9 lights up in orange corresponding to AD. After that, as indicated by (r25), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in orange when the AD performs the action of jumping. At this time, "Ah!" is output as the dialogue sound of the AD, but the caption is not displayed. After that, as shown in (r25'), the game effect lamp 9 flashes white three times in the scene where the AD is removed from the screen.

After that, as shown in (r26), when the character of the maid A is up, the game effect lamp 9 lights up in blue corresponding to the maid A. After that, as shown in (r27), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in blue when the maid A performs the action of jumping. At this time, "Too!" is output as the speech sound of maid A, but no caption is displayed. After that, as shown in (r27'), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white three times when the maid A is released from the screen.

(Detailed explanatory diagram of (r28) to (r31) parts)
FIG. 169 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the (r28) to (r31) portions of the final reach described above. As shown in (r28), when the maid B character is up, the game effect lamp 9 lights up in Hawaiian blue corresponding to the maid B. After that, as shown in (r29), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in Hawaiian blue when the maid B performs the action of jumping. At this time, as maid B's dialogue sound, the same dialogue as that of maid A is output, but the caption is not displayed. After that, as shown in (r29'), the game effect lamp 9 flashes three times in white when the maid B is released from the screen.

After that, as shown in (r30), when Nana-chan's character is up, the game effect lamp 9 lights up in pink corresponding to Nana-chan. After that, as shown in (r31), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in pink when Nana-chan performs a jumping action. At this time, "Teiya!" is output as Nana's dialogue sound, but the subtitles are not displayed. After that, as shown in (r31'), the game effect lamp 9 flashes three times in white when Nana-chan is released from the screen.

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

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

Here, in scenes such as r25, r27, r29, r31, r33, and r35, the output speech is a one-word speech in which the player is enthusiastic. In these specific scenes, scene switching is faster than other scenes. Also, in these particular scenes, the subtitles are less directly related to the storyline than other subtitled scenes. For these reasons, subtitles corresponding to dialogue are not displayed.

(Instigation 7)
As shown in FIGS. 168 to 170, there are scenes in which the character utters lines in the introductory part but no subtitles are added (for example, scenes of r25, r27, r29, r31, r33, and r35). However, even in such a specific scene, the brightness data of the game effect lamp 9 (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. In this way, even in a scene where subtitles are not displayed for dialogue sounds, the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 can emphasize the presentation. As a result, an effect corresponding to the character can be suitably executed, and the fanning part can be suitably shown to the player.

(Provocation 8)
Also, as shown in FIGS. 168 to 170, in scenes where characters appear (for example, r24, r26, r28, r30, r32, and r34), colors other than the colors corresponding to the corresponding characters in the preceding scene are displayed. , the control for turning on the game effect lamp 9 is performed. Specifically, before the scene (r24), after the game effect lamp 9 lights up/flashes in yellow (r22) or red (r23), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in orange corresponding to the AD character. It becomes a lit scenario. Also, before the scene (r26), after the game effect lamp 9 lights up/flashes in orange (r25) or white (r25'), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in blue corresponding to the character of Maid A. scenario. Also, before the scene (r28), after the game effect lamp 9 lights up/flashes in blue (r27) or white (r27'), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in Hawaiian blue corresponding to the character of Maid B. It becomes a lit scenario. Also, before the scene (r30), after the game effect lamp 9 lights up/blinks in Hawaiian blue (r29) or white (r29'), the game effect lamp 9 is displayed in pink corresponding to Nana's character. becomes a scenario that lights up. Also, before the scene (r32), after the game effect lamp 9 lights up/blinks in pink (r31) or white (r31'), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in purple corresponding to Jam-chan's character. scenario. Also, before the scene of (r34), after the game effect lamp 9 lights up in purple of (r33) or white of (r33'), the game effect lamp 9 lights up in green corresponding to the character of Yume-chan. becomes. In this way, before the character appears, the game effect lamp 9 is lit in a color different from the color corresponding to the character, after which the game effect lamp 9 is lit in the color corresponding to the character. control is performed. Therefore, it is possible to express in the form of lamps that the displayed character changes and that the player can easily understand which character is the character that has changed, and it is possible to make a suitable fanning part.

[About start 1 to 4]
Characteristic portions of FIGS. 171 and 172 are numbered and explained.

(Detailed explanatory diagram of role product actions in (b18) to (i1))
FIG. 171 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the role product motions in (b18) to (i1). In the scene shown in (b18) before the winner/failure decision is made, the game effect lamp 9 maintains the white lighting state. After that, when developing into the SP latter half reach, the movable body 32 as an accessory operates. Specifically, an effect is executed in which the character falls from the top of the screen toward the front of the screen while tilting at an angle. As shown in (h1), a radial effect image is displayed with respect to the character object on the screen when the character object starts falling. Due to the effect image, the character of Yume-chan and the reduced “2” decoration pattern cannot be visually recognized. In addition, in the state of (h1), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red as the accessory falls.

After that, in the state of (h2), the role is further extended so that the character "P" of the characters of the role is positioned so that it overlaps the place where the reduced "2" decoration pattern was displayed. Fall. In the state of (h2), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. Also, a role object corresponding sound corresponding to the falling of the role object is output as a sound effect. After that, in the state of (h3), the position of the accessory is maintained at the drop position in the state of (h2). In the state of (h3), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red.

After that, as shown in (h4), the accessory starts to rise (the accessory moves from the advanced position to the retracted position). In the state of (h4), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in yellow. When the (h3) state changes to the (h4) retracting state, the brightness data table output from the brightness data table of the character action part to the brightness data table of the reach A (flashing part) in the second half of the SP changes. . After that, in the state of (h5), the role further rises. In the state of (h5), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in yellow.

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

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

(Start 1)
As shown in FIGS. 171 and 172, the effect is switched from the SP first half reach A effect to the SP second half reach A effect by the action of the character. In addition, an effect image corresponding to the character object motion is displayed according to the motion of the character object falling. After that, the display is gradually switched from the effect image corresponding to the movement of the character object to the screen corresponding to reach A in the latter half of the SP while the character object is rising. In addition, while the role product is rising, the brightness data table of the role product action part (child table WD8 shown in FIG. 202 to be described later) is changed to the brightness data table of SP latter half reach A (child table WD9 shown in FIGS. 204 and 205 to be described later). ) is switched to the luminance data table. Also, a sound corresponding to the latter half of the SP (for example, BGM in the latter half of the SP) is output while the character is rising. Here, the effect image corresponding to the action of the character object is displayed on the premise that the character object is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character object returns to the initial position, the display will not be aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, by switching to the background display corresponding to the second half of the SP before the accessory completes the movement of returning to the initial position, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the display from being spoiled. In addition, since the brightness data table of the sound effect and the game effect lamp 9 is switched to one corresponding to the latter half of the SP while the accessory is returning to the initial position, the rousing part of the latter half of the SP can be preferably displayed.

(Start 2)
As shown in FIGS. 171 and 172, the effect is switched from the SP first half reach A effect to the SP second half reach A effect by the action of the character. Also, before the action of the role object, the "2" pattern is reduced and displayed at the left and right lower corners of the screen. When the role object moves, the role object falls so that the character "P" among the characters of the role object is positioned so that it overlaps with the place where the reduced decorative pattern "2" was displayed. do. In addition, an effect image corresponding to the action of dropping the character is displayed in a prioritized layer in front of the "2" symbol displayed in reduced size. Then, after the role object rises from the falling position and the “2” pattern does not overlap with the role object, the effect image gradually fades, and the background and “2” pattern corresponding to the second half of the SP reach A displayed faintly. According to this, it is possible to prevent the display from being not aesthetically pleasing due to the reduced decorative pattern being displayed during the action of the accessory. Also, the effect image corresponding to the action of the character object is displayed on the premise that the character object is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character object returns to the initial position, the display will not be aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, by switching to the background display corresponding to the second half of the SP before the accessory completes the movement of returning to the initial position, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the display from being spoiled. In addition, since the reduced decorative pattern is displayed in the middle of the movement of the character, it is possible to suitably switch the effects according to the movement of the character.

(Start 3)
As shown in FIG. 171, the character moves and displays an effect image before reaching the lowest point of the fall. According to this, it is possible to quickly hide the reduced decorative pattern, and it is possible to make a suitable changeover of the presentation including the character.

(Start 4)
It should be noted that an image related to the character object may be displayed when switching from the effect image to the image of the production in the second half. Specifically, in the scenes corresponding to (h7) to (h10) in FIG. 172, when the characters are raised, the characters "POWERFUL II" and the images of the main characters Yume-chan, Jam-chan, and Nana-chan are displayed. may be displayed. According to this, it is possible to show a suitable switching of the performance with the use of the character by providing the interlocking property when the performance is switched.

[About epilogues 7, 8, 10 to 14, 20]
In FIGS. 173 and 174, characteristic parts in the epilogue part are numbered and explained.

(Detailed explanatory diagram of role product actions in (r54) to (s4))
FIG. 173 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the role product motions in (r54) to (s4). In the scene (r54) before the success/failure determination, a sound corresponding to the prompting of the operation is output, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks in red. At this time, an operation image corresponding to the stick controller 31A (trigger) is displayed on the screen together with the Bakuchu character. Further, below the operation image, a time gauge is displayed as an operation prompting display for prompting the operation. When the player performs an action of pulling the stick controller 31A within a predetermined period of time, or when the predetermined period of time elapses, the movable body 32 as the accessory moves. Specifically, an effect is executed in which the character falls from the top of the screen toward the front of the screen while tilting at an angle. Here, the time during which the character object falls in the success/fail notification scene is longer than the time during which the character object falls in the scene that develops in the second half of the SP.

As shown in (s1), a radial effect image is displayed for the character object on the screen when the character object starts falling. This effect image has a more flashy production mode than the effect image when developing into the second half of the SP reach. Specifically, the effect image in the success/fail notification scene such as (s1) is rainbow colored. Note that the effect image in the scene that develops in the second half of the SP is blue or red. In addition, due to the effect image, the Bakuchu character and the reduced “2” decorative pattern cannot be visually recognized. In addition, in the state of (s1), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in rainbow color in accordance with the falling of the accessory.

After that, in the state of (s2), the character is dropped so that the character "P" of the characters of the character is positioned so that it overlaps with the place where the reduced "2" decoration pattern was displayed. do. In the state of (s2), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in rainbow color. After that, in the state of (s3), the position of the role object is maintained at the falling position in the state of (s2). In the state of (s3), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in rainbow color.

After that, as shown in (s3-2), the accessory starts to rise (the accessory moves from the advanced position to the retracted position). In the state of (s3-2), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. Luminance output from the brightness data table for the performance of the winning epilogue part to the brightness data table for the winning epilogue of the winning epilogue part when the state (s3) changes to the retracting state (s3-2) Data table changes. After that, in the state of (s3-3), the role further rises. In the state of (s3-3), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white.

FIG. 174 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the role product motions in (r54) to (s4). After (s3-3), in the state of (s3-4), the character further rises. In the state of (s3-4), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, as shown in (s3-5), when the character further rises, the effect image displayed corresponding to the character becomes faint. By thinning the effect image (increasing the transmittance), the background corresponding to the epilogue part of the SP final reach begins to be slightly visible. In the state of (s3-5), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. Also, a sound corresponding to the hit epilogue part, which is BGM corresponding to the hit epilogue part of the SP final reach, is output as a sound effect. After that, in the state of (s3-6), the role is further increased from the state of (s3-5). In the state (s3-6), the effect image is lighter than in the state (s3-5), so the background display is easier to see. In the state of (s3-6), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white.

After that, in the state of (s3-7), the role further rises. In the state of (s3-7), the effect image is lighter than in the state of (s3-6), so the background display is easier to see. In the state of (s3-7), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, in the state of (s3-8), the role further rises. In the state of (s3-8), the effect image is lighter than in the state of (s3-7), so the background display is easier to see. In the state of (s3-8), the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. After that, in the state of (s4), a scene in which Mumu-chan caught Bakuchu is displayed. At this time, the sound at the time when the production is successful is output as a sound effect. In addition, subtitles are displayed along with Bakuchu's line "Uu, I got caught". In the state of (s4), the game effect lamp 9 smoothly lights up in rainbow colors.

(Epilogue 7)
As shown in FIGS. 173 and 174, an effect image corresponding to the motion of the character object is displayed according to the motion of the character object falling. After that, the accessory moves to the initial position according to a predetermined evacuation pattern. While the character is rising, the display is gradually switched from the effect image corresponding to the movement of the character to the screen corresponding to the epilogue part of the SP final reach. Here, the effect image corresponding to the action of the character object is displayed on the premise that the character object is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character object returns to the initial position, the display will not be aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, by switching to the background display corresponding to the SP first half reach before the accessory completes the movement to return to the initial position, it is possible to prevent spoiling the aesthetic appearance of the display.

(Epilogue 8)
On the premise that the character object returns to its initial position, the timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue is the rising timing related to the timing of the start of the returning motion. According to this, since the display is switched to the display corresponding to the epilogue at the timing related to the start of the return motion, the display of the effect image corresponding to the character product motion ends before the character product returns to the initial position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect image from being displayed when the accessory returns to the initial position, and the aesthetic appearance of the production is not spoiled. The timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue may be the same timing as the timing when the accessory starts rising. Also, the accessory may perform a rotating motion or a moving motion at the drop position.

(Epilogue 10)
BGM corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the start of display corresponding to the epilogue as the character returns to its initial position. According to this, by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by the BGM, the epilogue part can be preferably started.

(Epilogue 11)
A sound effect corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the start of display corresponding to the epilogue when the character returns to the initial position. According to this, by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by the sound effect, the epilogue part can be preferably started.

(Epilogue 12)
BGM and sound effects corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the start of display corresponding to the epilogue when the character returns to its initial position. According to this, the epilogue part can be preferably started by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by BGM and sound effects.

(Epilogue 13)
In the situation where the character returns to the initial position and the display corresponding to the epilogue is displayed, the dialogue sound is not output, and the epilogue display after the character returns to the initial position outputs the dialogue sound and subtitles. should be displayed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the subtitle from being displayed at a timing when the subtitle is difficult to see, and the epilogue part can be preferably executed.

(Epilogue 14)
At the timing when the character returns to the initial position, it is sufficient to output the dialogue sound and display the subtitles in the epilogue display. According to this, the lines can be recognized firmly, and the epilogue part can be suitably executed.

(Epilogue 20)
As shown in FIGS. 173 and 174, when the character moves from the scene before the success/fail decision in the fanning part, the mode of presentation is switched to the winning epilogue part. In addition, an effect image corresponding to the character object motion is displayed according to the motion of the character object falling. After that, the display is gradually switched from the effect image corresponding to the movement of the character object to the screen corresponding to the epilogue part of the SP final reach while the character object is rising. In addition, the brightness data table is switched from the brightness data table corresponding to the action of the role product to the brightness data table corresponding to the winning epilogue part while the role product is rising. In addition, a sound corresponding to the hit epilogue part is output while the character is ascending. In addition, during the background display corresponding to the hit epilogue part that is displayed before the character changes to the initial position from (s3-5) to (s3-8), the dialogue sound is not output. . After that, in the state (s4) in which movement of the character to the initial position is completed and display of the effect image is finished, dialogue sounds are output and subtitles are displayed. Here, the effect image corresponding to the action of the character object is displayed on the premise that the character object is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character object returns to the initial position, the display will not be aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, by switching to the background display corresponding to the hit epilogue part before the character object completes the movement to return to the initial position, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the display from being spoiled. In addition, since the sound effect and the brightness data table of the game effect lamp 9 are switched to those corresponding to the winning epilogue part in the middle of the ascending of the character, the winning epilogue part can be preferably displayed. Furthermore, by displaying the subtitles after completing the operation of returning to the initial position, the winning epilogue part can be preferably displayed.

[About Epilogues 2, 3, and 5]
In FIG. 175, characteristic parts in the epilogue part are numbered and explained.

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

Also, in the case of SP first half reach B, the number of subtitles is three for the number of lines of five. Also, in the case of the hit epilogue part of SP first half reach B, the number of captions is three for the number of lines. In the case of the missing epilogue part in the first half of SP Reach B, there are no lines, so there are no subtitles. Also, in the case of SP latter half reach A, the number of captions is 14 for the number of lines of 16. Also, in the case of the hit epilogue part in the latter half of the SP reach A, the number of captions is one for the number of lines. In the case of the missing epilogue part of SP latter half reach A, the number of subtitles is one for the number of lines.

Also, in the case of SP latter half reach B, the number of subtitles is seven for nine lines. Also, in the case of the hit epilogue part in the SP latter half reach B, the number of subtitles is three for the number of lines. In the case of the missing epilogue part of SP latter half reach B, the number of subtitles is one for the number of lines. Also, in the case of the SP final reach, the number of subtitles is 19 for the number of lines of 27. Also, in the case of the epilogue part for the SP final reach, the number of subtitles is two for the number of dialogues. In the case of the missing epilogue part of the SP final reach, the number of subtitles is one for the number of lines.

(Epilogue 2)
As shown in FIG. 175, the ratio of displaying captions to characters' dialogues in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying captions to characters during SP reach, which is the inciting part. According to this, by clearly displaying the subtitles in the epilogue part, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is saying. Also, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to create a feeling of blessing. In addition, since there are more screen changes in the introductory part than in the epilogue part, even if subtitles are displayed, the display time will be shortened so that the display of auxiliary subtitles will not interfere with the production. , it is possible to give priority to conveying effects by switching images. Thereby, it is possible to execute a suitable effect in the fanning part.

(Epilogue 3)
As shown in FIG. 175, in the epilogue part, subtitles are always displayed for dialogue. According to this, it is possible to emphasize the feeling of blessing by clearly showing what the character is saying in the hit epilogue part.

(Epilogue 5)
As shown in FIG. 175, there are a plurality of types of SP reach, which is a fanning part, and each type has a different presentation development and a different number of lines. However, in any SP reach, the ratio of displaying subtitles for characters' lines in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for characters during SP reach. According to this, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is saying by clearly displaying the subtitles in the epilogue part regardless of which SP reach is executed. Also, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to create a feeling of blessing. In addition, since there are more screen changes in the fanning part than in the epilogue part, it is possible to convey the effect by switching images first, so that the effect is not disturbed by the auxiliary subtitle display. . Thereby, it is possible to execute a suitable effect in the fanning part.

[Regarding re-lottery effects 1, 4, 5, 7-18]
In FIGS. 176 and 177, characteristic parts of the re-lottery part are numbered and explained.

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

When the big hit display result is derived, the symbols are enlarged and displayed as shown in (A1) and (A2), and then the symbols are reduced as shown in (A3) and (A4). After that, as shown in (A5), the pattern becomes the normal size. Then, as shown in (A6), the background is switched to the background for the re-lottery effect, and the re-lottery effect starts. Here, from the state (A5) to the state (A6), the period during which the pattern is shaking is omitted. Specifically, when the pattern is the normal size, the pattern is shaking. Then, after it becomes the normal size, the pattern fluctuation of the re-lottery part will continue. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 is lit at a timing related to the completion of the pattern output (including, for example, the timing immediately before the size becomes normal, the timing after the size becomes normal, and the timing at which the pattern swing starts). It switches from white blinking to rainbow colored smooth lighting. As a result, it is possible to perform smooth pattern display from pattern display to re-lottery performance, smooth transition to shaking period, and blessing by pattern matching by screen and lamp light emission.

After that, as shown in (A7) and (A8), it becomes a swinging period in which the pattern swings up and down. After that, as shown in (A9) and (A10), the central "2" pattern is once reduced. After that, all of the ``2'', ``3'', ``4'', ``5'', ``6'', ``7'', and ``1'' used as decorative patterns are displayed from (A11) to (A23). A fast variation is performed at . After that, again, "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1" used as decorative patterns are displayed from (A10') to (A23'). Fast variation is performed in a manner that

After that, as shown in (A24), after two cycles of all decorations, the initially displayed "2" pattern and the button image are slightly displayed. After that, from (A25) to (A46), the decoration pattern fluctuates at high speed to "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", and "1", and the passage of time The time gauge displayed under the button image decreases accordingly. The time gauge is a display showing the effective period of button operation. If the push button 31B is operated within the operation effective period, or if the push button 31B is not operated within the operation effective period and the effective period of the button operation ends, odd numbers as shown in FIGS. Symbols or even-numbered symbols are derived and displayed, and the game shifts to a big win.

(Re-lottery production 1)
As shown in FIG. 176, in the re-lottery effect, the "2" symbol temporarily stopped and displayed before the re-lottery is enlarged, reduced, or swayed, and then the "2" symbol is used for the re-lottery. The performance begins. When the re-extraction effect is started, the "2" pattern is reduced, and the variation of the re-lottery effect is started from the reduced "2" pattern. During the re-lottery performance, a symbol feed performance is executed in which the symbols are replaced by high-speed fluctuations from the "2" symbol. In this way, the re-lottery performance is started using the decorative symbols temporarily stopped and displayed, and when the re-lottery performance is started, the symbol feed performance is executed using the temporarily stopped-displayed symbols. , the player can easily understand from which decorative pattern the re-lottery has started. As a result, it is possible to show the flow of a series of performances well.

(Re-lottery production 4)
At the start of the pattern feed effect in the re-lottery effect, the variation starts from the state where the decoration pattern that was displayed from the hit epilogue part is reduced. According to this, it is possible to show the flow of a series of presentations well without executing the process of changing to a different decoration pattern.

(Re-lottery production 5)
In the pattern feed effect, the reduced pattern starts to change, and the size of the pattern during the change is a uniform reduced size. According to this, it is possible to smoothen the appearance of the variation at the time of the pattern feed effect, and to show the flow of the series of effects well.

(Re-lottery production 7)
As shown in FIG. 176, in the re-lottery effect, the "2" symbol temporarily stopped and displayed before the re-lottery is enlarged, reduced, or swayed, and then the "2" symbol is used for the re-lottery. The performance begins. When the re-extraction effect is started, the "2" pattern is reduced, and the variation of the re-lottery effect is started from the reduced "2" pattern. During the re-lottery performance, a symbol feed performance is executed in which the symbols are replaced by high-speed fluctuations from the "2" symbol. And, during the re-lottery effect, "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "1" and all the decorative patterns are sent in order, and then again "2" ” A symbol feed effect in which symbols are displayed is executed. In this way, the re-lottery performance is started by using the decoration patterns temporarily stopped and displayed, and the decoration patterns initially temporarily stopped and displayed are displayed again after a plurality of kinds of decoration patterns are varied. According to this, the flow of a series of presentations can be shown well by the design feeding presentation in which the final display result is not immediately displayed and all the decorative designs are shown.

(Re-lottery production 8)
In the pattern sending effect in the re-lottery effect, all the decorative patterns such as ``2'', ``3'', ``4'', ``5'', ``6'', ``7'', and ``1'' are sent in order, and again, ``2''. , '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '1', and all the decoration patterns are sent in order. In this way, since the numbers of the decoration patterns are sent in order, it is possible to clearly show the flow of the series of presentations.

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

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

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

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

(Re-lottery production 13)
The symbol at the start of the re-lottery effect may be other than the 2 symbols. Even in such a case, the timing at which the button image as the action prompting display is displayed is constant. For example, in the case of 2 symbols, the timing at which the action prompting display was displayed was the timing at which 2 symbols were displayed again. Similarly, in the case of 5 symbols, the timing at which the action prompting display is displayed may be the timing at which 5 symbols are displayed again. That is, the number of symbols to be sent is the same regardless of which symbol the re-lottery effect is started. According to this, since control can be made constant, the processing load can be reduced.

(Re-lottery production 14)
In the lottery effect, there is a pattern that displays an even numbered pattern (for example, 2 patterns) after displaying an even numbered pattern (for example, 2 patterns), and a pattern that displays an even numbered pattern (for example, 2 patterns) and then displays an odd numbered pattern (for example, 3 patterns). was established. In addition to this, a pattern may be provided in which odd numbered symbols (eg, 7 symbols) are displayed after displaying the odd numbered symbols (eg, 7 symbols). In the effect of sending patterns from odd-numbered patterns to odd-numbered patterns, all the same odd-numbered patterns should be sent at the time of pattern sending. However, regardless of the pattern, the length of the performance during the symbol feeding period in the re-lottery performance may be designed to be the same. According to this, a suitable re-lottery effect can be achieved in any pattern without increasing the data capacity.

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

[About Inciting 21-27]
In FIGS. 178 to 181, characteristic parts of the fanning part are numbered and explained.

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

In the state of (b4), a screen is displayed in which Mumu-chan and Bakuchu face each other. After that, as shown in (b4'), the caption "I found it" corresponding to Yume-chan's line is displayed with a transmittance of 70%. After that, as shown in (b5), the caption "I found it" corresponding to Yume-chan's lines is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. In this way, a fade-in effect is added when subtitles corresponding to dialogue are displayed. In the state (b4'), the dialogue sound "I found it" is not output, and the dialogue sound is output when the caption transparency is 0% as in the state (b5). .

After that, as shown in (b5′), a layer below the subtitle with a transparency of 0% for “I found it” corresponding to Bakuchu’s line is added to the layer below the caption with a transparency of “I found it” corresponding to Bakuchu’s line. Subtitles with a rate of 70% are displayed with a fade-in effect. After that, as shown in (b5''), the caption "I found it" and the caption "I found it" are both displayed with a transparency of 40%. After that, as shown in (b6), the caption "Found" corresponding to Bakuchu's lines is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. In this way, the subtitle "I found it" corresponding to Yume-chan's line gradually fades out from (b5') to (b6). On the other hand, the caption of "Found" corresponding to Bakuchu's lines gradually fades in from (b5') to (b6). In states (b5′) and (b5″), the dialogue sound “found” is not output. is being output.

As shown in FIG. 178(B), during the jackpot round, an effect is performed in which the character sings along with the music. For example, in FIG. 178(B), subtitles (lyrics) are displayed along with the progress of the song sung by Nana-chan. Immediately after that, the subtitles (lyrics) are displayed according to the progress of the song, saying, "Grab it with this small hand." When such subtitles (lyrics) during the jackpot round are displayed continuously, the fade effect is not applied. This is because when the music is playing, the progress of the music can be understood by the rhythm, so even if the subtitles (lyrics) are switched without adding a fade effect, the switching timing is easy to understand.

(Provocation 21)
In the fanning part, as shown in FIG. 178(A), there is a scene in which subtitles are displayed in response to the characters' lines. When subtitles are displayed, there is a period during which the display period of the first subtitle displayed first overlaps the display period of the second subtitle displayed next. A fade effect is applied when the first subtitle and the second subtitle are displayed so as to overlap each other. The fade effect causes the characters being displayed to change with different transparency. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, the change of the subtitles becomes easy to understand due to the fading effect, so that the switching of the subtitles can be made easy to understand.

(Provocation 22)
As shown in FIG. 178(A), in a scene where characters face each other, a first subtitle corresponding to the dialogue of one character is displayed, followed by a second subtitle corresponding to the dialogue of another character. There is something. In this case, the second caption is displayed with a transmittance of 70% so as to overlap the portion where the first caption is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. After that, the first caption fades out, and the second caption fades in, resulting in display with a transmittance of 0%. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, it is easy to understand the switching of the subtitles due to the fading effect.

(Modified example of subtitle display)
When the first subtitle and the second subtitle are displayed at the same timing, the fade effect may be applied to either one of the two subtitles instead of applying the fade effect to both of the two subtitles. . Specifically, a pattern in which no fade effect is applied to the first subtitle display and a fade effect is applied to the second subtitle display, a fade effect is applied to the first subtitle display, and a fade effect is applied to the second subtitle display. A pattern without . Either of the patterns may be applied by replacing the above-described pattern of adding a fade effect to the first caption display and adding a fade effect to the second caption display. Also, when adding a fade effect, the second subtitle display may be superimposed on the first subtitle display, or the second subtitle display may be superimposed under the first subtitle display.

In addition, the subtitles for the lines of the first character and the second character have been described for the case where the subtitles are displayed at the same timing. However, when the same character continuously utters lines, the subtitle display for the second line may overlap after the subtitle display for the first line. In such a case, a fade effect may be added to the caption display.

(Provocation 24)
As shown in FIG. 178(B), during the jackpot round, an effect is performed in which the character sings along with the music. Subtitles (lyrics) are displayed as the song progresses. However, during the jackpot round, even if subtitles (lyrics) are displayed continuously, the fade effect is not applied. This is because when the music is playing, the progress of the music can be understood by the rhythm, so even if the subtitles (lyrics) are switched without adding a fade effect, the switching timing is easy to understand. Also, since the music during the jackpot round is representative music of the contents installed in the pachinko game machine 1, the lyrics to be displayed next are easy for the player to understand without adding a fade effect. According to this, it is possible to omit the operation of applying the fade effect during the big win round, and the series of performances can be shown well.

(Regarding the relationship between subtitle transparency and sound output)
FIG. 179 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the caption transmittance and the sound output with respect to dialogue. FIG. 179 shows the situation when Mumu-chan's line "I found it" and Bakuchu's line "I found it" in FIG. 178(A) are uttered. The horizontal axis of the graph in FIG. 179 indicates the number of frames. The caption "I found it" is displayed with a transmittance of 70% after one frame from the transmittance of 100%. Further, one frame later, the image is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. As a result, the caption "I found it" is displayed with a fade-in effect over a period of two frames. During this period, the sound of "I found it" is not output.

After that, during the period in which the dialogue sound of "I found it" is output, the caption "I found it" is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. Then, during a period T1, which is a silent period of three frames after the output of the dialogue sound of "I found it", the caption "I found it" is continuously displayed with a transmittance of 0% for two frames. . Thereafter, the caption "I found it" is displayed with a transmittance of 0% to 100% for the remaining one frame period of T1. As a result, the caption "I found it" is displayed with a fade-out effect over a period of one frame.

Also, during the period of T1, the dialogue sound of "found" is not output either, but the subtitle of "found" is faded in with the effect of fading in one frame after the start of the period of T1. Is displayed. Specifically, the subtitle "Found" is displayed with a transmittance of 70% after one frame from the transmittance of 100%. Further, after one frame, the image is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. As a result, the caption "Found" is displayed with a fade-in effect over a period of two frames.

After that, during the period in which the dialogue sound of "found" is output, the subtitle of "found" is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. Then, during a period T2, which is a three-frame silence period after the output of the dialogue sound of "found" is completed, the subtitle of "found" continues to be displayed with a transmittance of 0% for two frames. After that, the subtitle "Found" is displayed with a transmittance of 0% to 100% for the remaining one frame period of T2. As a result, the caption "Found" is displayed with a fade-out effect over a period of one frame.

As shown in FIG. 179, the first subtitle of "found" corresponding to the character of Yume-chan and the second subtitle of "found" corresponding to the character of Bakuchu have the same fade-in and fade-out. effect is applied. Also, the fade-in is performed over a period of two frames, whereas the fade-out is performed over a period of one frame.

(Provocation 23)
As shown in FIG. 179, the output timing of the dialogue sound corresponding to the second subtitle of "Found" is such that the first and second subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, and is output during the period in which the fade effect is applied. not. Then, the dialogue sound corresponding to the second subtitle is output when the second subtitle is displayed with a transparency of 0%. According to this, it is easy to understand the switching of subtitles due to the fade effect, and since the dialog sound is output after the second subtitle is displayed, it is possible to easily grasp the content of the presentation by sight and hearing.

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

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

As shown in FIG. 180(B), in (o3) to (o5), a shop with a signboard of a crab killed by Jam and Nana in (o3) is displayed. A first subtitle corresponding to "Signboard" is displayed. After that, from (o3') to (o3''), the background of the shop with a signboard of a crab without subtitles is displayed. After that, at (o4), a second subtitle corresponding to Nana's line "Work hard" is displayed. After that, the background of the shop with the crab as its signboard becomes a still image. The time t1 from the start of (o3) to the end of (o5) is approximately 10 seconds.

As shown in FIGS. 180(A) and (B), in the introductory part and the epilogue part, subtitles corresponding to the lines are displayed multiple times in one scene (period from 0 to t1 or period from 0 to t2). Sometimes. In the case where subtitles are displayed multiple times, if there is enough time, it may be possible to make it easier to understand the switching of the subtitle display by erasing the once displayed subtitle display. However, when there is no margin in the time scale, such as the period from 0 to t1, it is difficult to temporarily erase the caption display. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 178 and 179, by adding a fade effect to the caption display, it is possible to make the switching of the caption easier to understand.

Here, in the pachinko game machine 1, an image is first created, and then sounds such as lines are added. Subtitles corresponding to each line are then added. If the time period from 0 to t1, in which the time scale is not large enough, to temporarily erase the caption display, it would be troublesome to recreate the video by lengthening the period. Therefore, by adding a fade effect, it is possible to make it easier to understand the switching of subtitles without recreating the video. In addition, even if there is a margin in the time scale, such as in the epilogue part when the shop with the crab signboard is displayed, by uniformly adding a fade effect, the overall work load is reduced, and when switching subtitles It is possible to prevent discomfort from occurring.

(Provocation 26)
As shown in FIG. 180, a fade effect is added to the caption display even in a predetermined scene in portions (o3) to (o5) where the first caption and the second caption do not overlap. As for the fade effect, at least one of fade-in and fade-out effects may be applied. In the subtitle display created after the video is created, it is troublesome to add a fade effect depending on whether the subtitle display is covered or not. Therefore, by uniformly adding a fade effect to the caption display, it is possible to prevent an increase in work load.

(Provocation 25)
Here, although not shown, the subtitle display timing may overlap even in the epilogue part. However, as shown in FIG. 180, in the epilogue part, there are many scenes in which the period from caption display to caption display is longer than in the introductory part. This is because the provocation part progresses quickly, and the epilogue part progresses less quickly than the provocation part. As a result, the introductory part is displayed more frequently than the epilogue part at the timing when the subtitle display overlaps. In such a case, by effectively adding a fade effect to the caption display, it is possible to avoid giving a sense of discomfort when switching the caption.

[About Inciting 27]
In FIG. 181, characteristic parts in the fanning part are numbered and explained.

(Provocation 27)
FIG. 181 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example of caption display. For example, as shown in Comparative Example 1 of FIG. 181(A), subtitles for similar lines such as "I found it" and "I found it" may be displayed continuously. In such a case, if the subtitle display is switched without adding any fade effect and without a blank period, it becomes difficult to understand the switching of the subtitle display. Also, regarding subtitle display for long lines and subtitle display for fast-progressing lines, there is a possibility that a sense of incongruity may occur if subtitles are switched without providing a blank period. In such a case, the sense of incompatibility can be eliminated by adding a fade effect to the caption display. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 2 in FIG. 181(B), it is conceivable to superimpose "Found" on the subtitle display of "Found" and then display "Found". In such a case, the caption display becomes difficult to see without the fade effect. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 3 of FIG. 181(C), it is conceivable to display the subtitle display of "I found it" and the subtitle display of "I found it" in two stages above and below. In such a case, the subtitle display reduces the display area for the effect, which hinders the effect in areas other than the subtitle display area. On the other hand, such a problem can be solved by adding a fade effect to the caption display as in the present embodiment.

[About Epilogue 23]
In FIG. 182, characteristic parts in the epilogue part are numbered and explained.

FIG. 182 is a detailed explanatory diagram of parts (B4) to (B11). Referring to FIG. 182, description will be given of the correspondence relationship between the effects using decorative patterns and small patterns on the screen and the effects using the game effect lamps 9. FIG. As shown in (B4), in the re-lottery pattern rendering effect, the enlarged "3" pattern is reduced. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in white. Then, as shown in (B5), the "3" pattern is displayed in normal size. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in rainbow color. Next, as shown in (B6), the "3" pattern is displayed with a slight up-and-down motion. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in rainbow color.

Then, as shown in (B7), the screen changes from the background for the re-lottery to the normal background, and in this normal background, the "3" pattern continues to be displayed slightly shaking up and down. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in rainbow color. After that, as shown in (B8), the decoration design and the small design are fixed and stopped based on the reception of the design confirmation command. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 blinks in rainbow color. As shown in (B9), the pattern fixing period continues for a predetermined period (for example, 0.5 s), and the same display as in (B8) is maintained on the screen. At this time, the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 is maintained to flash in rainbow colors.

Thereafter, based on the reception of the fanfare command, after about 10 msec, the mode of the game effect lamp 9 is switched to correspond to the fanfare. Also, based on the reception of the fanfare command, after about 33 msec, the screen is switched to display "FEVER". Specifically, as shown in (D1), the screen maintains the state of (B9) during the fanfare period after the fanfare command is received. On the other hand, the mode of the game effect lamp 9 is switched to support fanfare earlier than the mode of the screen. The state of the game effect lamp 9 in (D1) is off. Then, as shown in (D2), the screen is switched to a screen in which characters of "FEVER" indicating a fanfare mode and Yume-chan are displayed after the mode of the game effect lamp 9 is displayed. At this time, the game effect lamp 9 is maintained in a lighting mode corresponding to the fanfare.

[About Epilogue 28-31]
In FIG. 183, characteristic parts in the epilogue part are numbered and explained.

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

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

In the pattern output of the modified example, the decorative symbols move to the upper left corner of the screen in a reach state at the start of the SP reach, and the symbols are aligned during the winning epilogue part as shown in (Y1). Then, the reduced pattern once deleted after the reduced pattern shaking period as shown in (Y2) is enlarged from the position in the center of the screen, and the second design effect is executed.

(Epilogue 28)
In the winning epilogue part, when the images that make up the winning epilogue are displayed in sequence (the video of the winning epilogue is flowing), the decoration pattern is positioned at the end of the screen display area (upper left corner of the screen). position). In relation to the timing when the screen becomes a still image and the video of the winning epilogue is finished, the reduced pattern is erased and the design effect is executed in which the central area of the screen is used to enlarge and display the pattern. In addition, the brightness data table is switched from the brightness data table corresponding to the winning epilogue part to the brightness data table corresponding to the pattern display in relation to the timing when the screen becomes a still image. According to this, when the image of the winning epilogue part is displayed, the reduced pattern is positioned on the edge side of the screen so as not to interfere with the image of the winning epilogue part, and when the development of the winning epilogue part is completed, the pattern is displayed. At the time of playing, by enlarging and displaying the decoration patterns continuously using the screen end side and the screen center, the big winning patterns can be emphasized and shown to the player. Furthermore, by switching the brightness data table, it is possible to show the scene switching appropriately. In this way, the hit epilogue part can be shown favorably.

(Epilogue 29)
In the winning epilogue part, when the images that make up the winning epilogue are displayed in sequence (the video of the winning epilogue is flowing), the decoration pattern is positioned at the end of the screen display area (upper left corner of the screen). position) are displayed with "222" aligned. According to this, even while the winning epilogue image is being displayed, the reduced decoration pattern allows the player to recognize that the big winning display result is displayed.

(Epilogue 30)
In the winning epilogue part, when the images that make up the winning epilogue are displayed in sequence (the video of the winning epilogue is flowing), the decoration pattern is positioned at the end of the screen display area (upper left corner of the screen). position). In addition, in relation to the timing when the screen becomes a still image and the epilogue video ends, the subtitle display displayed at (Y1) is deleted, the reduced pattern at the upper left corner position is deleted, and the image at the center of the screen is deleted. The decoration pattern is enlarged and displayed using the area. According to this, it is possible to prevent the subtitle display from being displayed overlapping with the decoration pattern, and misunderstanding that some kind of message is being displayed when the pattern is displayed, and the epilogue part can be suitably reproduced. I can show you.

(Epilogue 31)
In the modified example, the decoration pattern moves to the upper left corner of the screen in a reach state when the SP reach starts. According to this, by positioning from the start of the SP reach, it is possible not to interfere with the development of the performance even during the SP reach, and a series of performances can be favorably shown.

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

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

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

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

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

After that, the pattern is enlarged as shown in (H22) and (H23), and then reduced as shown in (H24) and (H25). After that, as shown in (H26), the pattern becomes the normal size. Then, as shown in (H27), the background is switched to the background shown in (G20) to (G27). The movement of designing in (H22) to (H26) when the push button 31B is not operated is the same as the movement of designing in (G15) to (G19) when the push button 31B is operated. However, when the push button 31B is operated, the reduction time of the time gauge when the push button 31B is not operated is absorbed in the period during which the effect of shaking the three symbols is executed. In other words, no matter what timing the button is operated, the period until the button is operated is absorbed by the duration of the effect of shaking the three symbols.

After (G27) or (H27), an effect as shown in FIG. 187 is executed. In FIG. 187, the re-lottery effect executed in (J1) to (J18) will be explained. After (G27) or (H27), the screen is once whited out as shown in (J1). After that, the "3" symbol rotates once from (J2) to (J9). Specifically, from the state of (J2), (J3), (J4), (J5), (J6), (J7), (J8), (J8), ( J9) and rotate. The rotation movement is so fast that the pattern seems to rotate in an instant.

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

[About loss 1 to 7]
Characteristic parts in the missing epilogue part are numbered and explained.

(Regarding the design confirmation period)
FIG. 188 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the symbol fixing period. (X1) in FIG. 188 is a diagram showing the timing of determination of success/failure corresponding to (r54) in FIG. (X2) to (X5) will be used to explain the details of the symbol determination period in the case of shifting from this state to the winning epilogue part. Also, the details of the pattern fixing period when the state of (X1) shifts to the missing epilogue part will be explained with reference to (X6) to (X9).

When the state of (X1) shifts to the winning epilogue part, an image of the state of (s5) in which Bakuchu is caught is displayed as shown in (X2). After that, as shown in (X3), after being controlled to the normal screen, it becomes a pattern confirmation period such as (B8) in which the pattern is fixed and stopped. The symbol confirmation period continues for 0.5 seconds after receiving the symbol confirmation designation command. After that, as shown in (X4), there is a fanfare period like (B11). After that, as shown in (X5), it becomes a jackpot round period.

When transitioning from the state (X1) to the unsuccessful epilogue part, as shown in (X6), an image of the state of disappointment (u2) that Bakuchu was not caught is displayed. After that, as indicated by (X7), the background is blacked out, and the symbol combination indicating the result of the display of "232" being lost is displayed. After that, as indicated by (X8), an eye-catching image depicting a character image that has the effect of attracting the player's eye is displayed. After that, after being controlled to the normal screen, it becomes a symbol confirmation period such as (X9) during which symbol confirmation is stopped. The symbol confirmation period continues for 0.5 seconds after receiving the symbol confirmation designation command. If there is a reserved memory corresponding to the next variable display after the end of the pattern fixing period, the next variable display is started.

(detailed description of blackout)
FIG. 189 is a detailed explanatory diagram of blackout. Details of the blackout will be described in the order of FIGS. 189 (X10) to (X22). As shown in (X10), an image of the state of disappointment (u2) that Bakuchu was not caught is displayed. From this state, the background of the blackout is displayed with gradually decreasing transmittance, and the background of the middle pattern showing "3", which is one of the decorative symbols displayed in the center, gradually decreases transmittance. displayed. By decreasing the transmittance, the blackout background becomes gradually darker and the medium pattern becomes gradually clearer.

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

After that, the period from (X19) to (X20) becomes a pattern swinging period in which the middle pattern "3" swings up and down. After the pattern shaking period, an eye-catching image is displayed as indicated by (X21). After that, as indicated by (X22), it becomes a symbol fixing period. As shown in FIG. 189, the blackout of the background starts earlier than the fade-in of the medium pattern, and the blackout of the background has more stages of switching of the transmittance than the fade-in of the medium pattern. .

(Loss 1)
As shown in FIG. 188, in the case of losing after determination of winning or losing, a losing pattern is displayed in the blackout background in the losing epilogue part. After that, after the switching image of the eye-catching screen is displayed, the screen switches to the normal background at the start of reach. According to this, it is possible to suitably show the switching of the screen at the time of failure by the eye-catching screen.

(Loss 2)
As shown in FIG. 189, in the losing epilogue part, the background at the time of losing gradually blacks out, while the middle pattern gradually fades in. According to this, since the image and the medium pattern at the time of failure are displayed in inverse proportion to each other in the relationship between blackout and fade-in, the display at the time of failure can be favorably displayed due to the relationship between the two.

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

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

After the background image blacks out, the featured image is displayed. An eye-catching image is an image that attracts the player's attention. An image is displayed.

A luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is used from the period of switching to the eye-catching screen (X32) to the display of the eye-catching screen (X33). After that, through the switching period to the normal screen of (X34) and the design confirmation period of (X35), the next variation of (X36) executed when the variation pattern command with hold is received, the background A luminance data table for is used. The luminance data table for background shown in FIG. 190 corresponds to the grandchild table 26 specified at time tu4 of the child table WD17 in the missing epilogue part shown in FIG. 216 to be described later.

It should be noted that the luminance data table for the background is maintained even when the customer waiting command is received when there is no reservation after the pattern fixing period of (X35). Incidentally, in response to receiving the customer waiting command, the effect screen may be a demonstration display, and a luminance data table for demonstration may be used.

In relation to the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50, the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is blinking from (X30) to (X34). And, by receiving the symbol determination command, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is turned off in the state of (X35). After that, by receiving the variation pattern command when there is a hold, the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 blinks in the state of (X36). In addition, when there is no hold after the symbol determination period of (X35), even if the customer waiting command is received, the special symbol variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 remains extinguished.

Further, as a modified example for failure, the luminance data table in each state may be different from that of the present embodiment. Specifically, the luminance data table at the time of failure is used from the disappointment of (X40) to the background blackout of (X41). After that, during (X42) the eye-catching screen switching period, (X43) the eye-catching screen, (X44) the normal screen switching period, and (X45) the pattern confirmation period, the brightness data table for switching (for eye-catching) is created. may be used. Then, the luminance data table for the background may be used in the next variation of (X36).

Here, the first luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is higher in luminance than the final luminance data (off) in the luminance data table before eye-catching display (at the time of failure). In addition, the first luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is higher in luminance than the first luminance data in the luminance data table (not including turning off) corresponding to the background at the start of fluctuation.

Characteristic portions of the detailed explanatory diagram of the game effect lamp 9 at the time of losing will be described. The effect screen will be switched to the image at the time of losing after the effect of winning or failing. After that, after the display of the blackout where the result of the display of failure is displayed, it is switched to the eye-catching screen. Furthermore, after that, after switching to the normal screen, a screen is displayed in which the symbols are fixed and stopped. In addition, the brightness data table is switched from the brightness data table at the time of winning/failing determination to the brightness data table at the time of losing. After that, the table is switched to the brightness data table for switching (for eye-catching). After that, the table is switched to the luminance data table of the background at the start of fluctuation. Here, the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) at the timing of switching to the eye-catching screen. Also, the luminance data table is switched to the background luminance data table at the timing of switching to the normal screen. The special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from flashing to extinguished upon reception of the symbol confirmation command, but the luminance data table for the background is not switched even by reception of the symbol confirmation command. Also, the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50 is switched from off to blinking by receiving the next variation variation pattern command, but the brightness data table for the background is not switched even by receiving the symbol confirmation command. According to this, the brightness data table is switched to the brightness data table for the background at the end of the eye-catching screen, and the brightness data table is continued until the next change. is not necessary to separately prepare, the production by the lamp can be shown without discomfort from the production at the time of failure to the next change, and a series of productions can be suitably shown.

(Loss 10)
After the brightness data table is switched to the brightness data table for the background with the end of the eye-catching screen, the brightness data table for the background is continuously used even if there is no reserved memory and the customer waiting demonstration designation command is received. According to this, after switching to the brightness data table for the background, the same brightness data table can be continuously used, so that the performance by the lamps can be presented without any sense of incongruity, and the series of presentations can be favorably presented. can be done.

According to this, regarding the special figure variable display of the fourth symbol unit 50, the flow at the time of losing can be shown to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Loss 13)
A modified example at the time of losing will be explained. The brightness data table at the time of failure is used from the rendering of (X40) in which the six teammates are disappointed to the rendering of (X41) in which the background image is blacked out. After the background image blacks out, the featured image is displayed. A brightness data table for switching (for eye-catching) is used from the period of switching to the eye-catching screen (X42) to the pattern fixing period of (X45). After that, when a variation pattern command with hold is received, the brightness data table is switched to the brightness data table for the background. In other words, at the timing of switching to the eye-catching screen, the luminance data table is switched to the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching), and the luminance data table is maintained during the pattern fixing period, and at the timing of switching to the next change, the background brightness data table. Further, in the pattern fixing period, the last luminance data of the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching), that is, turning off is used. According to this, after switching to the luminance data table of the background, the final luminance data of the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is maintained until the next variation pattern command is received. can be easily recognized, and as a result, the failure can be favorably shown.

(Loss 14)
The final luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is data for keeping the light off. In addition, the data for keeping the light off is not used in the luminance data table for the background. According to this, since the brightness data for maintaining the lights off is not used in the brightness data table for the background, it is peculiar to the failure that the lights are off when the background is displayed. It can be made easy to recognize that it is.

(Loss 15)
If there is no pending memory after design determination, the brightness data table for switching (for eye-catching) is switched to the brightness data table for background by receiving a customer waiting designation command. According to this, by receiving the customer waiting designation command, the table is switched to the brightness data table for the background, so that it is possible to make it easier to recognize that the table is lost.

(Loss 16)
The first luminance data in the luminance data table for switching (for eye-catching) is higher in luminance than the final luminance data (off) in the luminance data table before displaying the eye-catching image (at the time of failure). According to this, the game effect lamp 9 can emit light with higher luminance than before switching to the eye-catching screen, so that the switching can be easily recognized by the eye-catching screen and the game effect lamp 9 .

(Loss 17)
The first brightness data in the brightness data table for switching (for eye-catching) is higher in brightness than the first brightness data in the brightness data table (not including off) corresponding to the background at the start of variation.

Characteristic parts in the parts related to the determination of success or failure are numbered and explained.

(Detailed description of (r48) part)
FIG. 191 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the (r48) portion. FIG. 191 (r48) is a scene in which the final hype is performed before the winner is decided. FIG. 191A is an explanatory diagram showing screen switching, and FIG. 191B is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between screen switching and time. As shown in FIG. 191(A), in the (r48) part, after the explosive chu is displayed as in (r48-1), six allies are displayed as in (r48-2). After that, after the display of Bakuchu like (r48-1) is displayed again, the six allies like (r48-2) are displayed. After that, switching between still images (r48-1) and (r48-2) is repeated, and the switching speed gradually increases as shown in FIG. 191(B). The image of the ally character and the image of the enemy character are gradually enlarged and displayed as time elapses.

(Acceptability 8)
The scene before the propriety decision of (r48) in the fanning part is a slow motion period in which the movement of the video is slowed down. In addition, the effect executed before (r48) depicts the movement of the character from a plurality of image data, while the effect executed at (r48) is the image of Bakuchu and the six allies. image. The image of the ally character and the image of the enemy character are gradually enlarged and displayed with the passage of time to make it appear as if the characters are moving. Here, if an image is created using the same amount of image data during the slow motion period as during the periods other than the slow motion period, the amount of data is small and the movement becomes awkward. On the other hand, if a large amount of data is used to smooth the movement during the slow motion period, the capacity becomes too large. Therefore, the amount of data can be reduced by reducing the number of images used in the slow motion period and by switching and enlarging the display to make it look as if the character is moving. Note that the number of images used during the slow motion period may be any number as long as the number of images is smaller than during the other periods.

(Acceptability 9)
As shown in FIG. 191(B), the image switching speed between the image of the friend character and the image of the enemy character gradually increases. According to this, after the image switching speed becomes the fastest, the promotion display prompting the trigger operation is displayed. It becomes possible to incite the development of the game, and the interest is improved. In addition, by alternately switching the images, it is possible to make it difficult to notice that one image is used for each of the friend character and the enemy character.

(Yes or No 10)
The effect of the slow motion period in (r48) may be executed at the timing of development from SP first half reach to SP last reach. According to this, it is possible to suitably execute the effect even at the timing of developing from the SP first half reach.

(Yes or No 11)
At least one of the friend character and the enemy character may be configured using two or more images during the slow motion period in (r48). For example, in the case of an ally character, four images such as image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 1, . good. According to this, by changing only part of the data while using the data of the character itself, it is possible to more faithfully represent the state of movement while reducing the amount of data change work.

(Yes or No 12)
In the slow motion period in (r48), when the character's hair and clothes are shown to move gradually from a plurality of images, the hair and clothes move at the same speed as during periods other than the slow motion period. It may be designed to be visible. Here, if the number of images is increased in accordance with the motion of the slow motion in order to make the motion look smooth during the slow motion period, the capacity becomes large. However, by speeding up the movement during the slow motion period, even if the number of images used is reduced, the movement does not become awkward, and while reducing the data capacity, it is possible to express the movement more faithfully. can.

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

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

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

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

In the parent table, information specifying a lamp (lighting position) to be subjected to lamp control among various lamps included in the game effect lamp 9, and information specifying the maximum time for which lamp control is performed for each lamp. , and information specifying a child table (a specified address of the child table) to be referred to during lamp control for each lamp. In the parent table, only lamps to be controlled are specified, and lamps not to be controlled are not specified. For example, in the parent table shown in FIG. 192, which will be described later, the frame lamp, the character lamp 9A, the board left lamp 9B, the attack lamp 9E, the V attack lamp 9F, and the electric tuning lamp 9H are the objects of lamp control. 600000 msec is specified as the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each lamp. In the parent table shown in FIG. 192, the child table WD1 is designated for the frame lamp, the child table YD1 is designated for the character object lamp 9A, and the child table LD1 is designated for the board left lamp 9B. , the attacker lamp 9E, the V attacker lamp 9F, and the electric tuner lamp 9H.

Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 206, but as shown in FIG. 272, in the parent table for the epilogue per SP first half reach A, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for the frame lamp is 600000 msec (10 minutes). It is specified, and the effect control CPU 120 subtracts 1 from the counter every 10 msec in order to time this 600000 msec (10 minutes). That is, the effect control CPU 120 counts 600000 msec (10 minutes) by executing the counter subtraction process 60000 times. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control using the child table specified by the parent table until a maximum of 600000 msec (10 minutes) is clocked. In the parent table for epilogue per SP first half reach A, WD3 is specified as a child table.

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

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

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

The luminance data value corresponds to the current value output to the lamp that is the object of lamp control. For example, the frame lamp is composed of LEDs consisting of three elements "R", "G", and "B", and the luminance data for each element corresponds to the current value output to each element. . Specifically, the luminance data is divided into 16 levels of current values from 0 to F. When the luminance data is 0, the current value is the lowest value (for example, 0), and when the luminance data is F The current value becomes the maximum value. For example, when luminance data “A” is output to the element “R”, a current corresponding to the luminance data “A” flows through the element “R”, and an element “G” receives “1”. When the luminance data is output, the current corresponding to the luminance data of "1" flows through the element of "G", and when the luminance data of "F" is output to the element of "G", the current corresponding to the luminance data of "F" is output. A current corresponding to the luminance data of 'G' flows through the element 'G'.

The frame lamp can emit light in various colors by applying a current corresponding to luminance data to each element of RGB. Also, the frame lamp can be illuminated in a color corresponding to each character described above by emitting light based on luminance data. As an example, in a production in which Yume-chan appears, data "F00" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as brightness data, and a current corresponding to the data flows, causing the LED to light red. . In an effect in which Maid A appears, data "00F" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and a current corresponding to the data flows to light the LED in blue. In an effect in which Maid B appears, data "0AC" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and current corresponding to the data flows, causing the LED to light up in Hawaiian blue. In an effect in which AD appears, data "FF0" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and a current corresponding to the data flows to light the LED in yellow. In an effect in which Jam-chan appears, data "A5F" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and the current corresponding to the data flows to light the LED in purple. In an effect in which Nana-chan appears, data "F3F" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as brightness data, and a current corresponding to the data flows to light the LED in pink. In an effect in which Bakuchu appears, data "F00" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and the current corresponding to the data flows to light the LED in red. In an effect in which Boingo appears, data "FEA" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and current corresponding to the data flows to light the LED in a cream color.

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

As described above, the effect control CPU 120 has a timer corresponding to each of the parent table, the child table, and the grandchild table. Lamp control is performed based on the table, child table, and grandchild table.

Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 starts outputting the luminance data from the first specified location of the grandchild table, and when the output of the luminance data is completed up to the last specified location of the grandchild table, the grandchild table is displayed. If the value of the timer corresponding to the specified child table still remains, output of luminance data is started again from the first specified location of the corresponding grandchild table. On the other hand, when the value of the timer corresponding to the child table designating the grandchild table becomes 0 while the luminance data is being output based on the grandchild table, the effect control CPU 120 outputs the child table. A timer corresponding to another child table specified by the parent table specifying is set, and output of luminance data is started from the first specified location of the grandchild table specified by the child table. As a result, the grandchild table is switched, and lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table after switching.

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

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

Note that child data is specified over 600000 msec (10 minutes) as in the parent table shown in FIG. 192, which will be described later, and the 10-minute data in such a parent table plays a role of troubleshooting. In other words, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control by switching the parent table based on the effect control command from the CPU 103. Even if the CPU 120 does not receive the performance control command from the CPU 103, lamp control is performed based on the same parent table for 10 minutes, thereby preventing different lamp controls from being performed one after another from the point where trouble occurs. can do.

Also, as in the child table shown in FIG. 193, which will be described later, grandchild data is specified over 600000 msec (10 minutes) at the final specified location, and 10 minute data in such a child table corresponds to the child table. It plays the role of preventing the lamp control from being performed again from the first specified location in the child table due to the timer remaining in the parent table when the value of the timer to be set becomes 0.

Also, as in the grandchild table shown in FIG. 235, which will be described later, luminance data is specified over 600000 msec (10 minutes) at the final specified location, and 10 minute data in such a grandchild table corresponds to the grandchild table. When the value of the timer to be set becomes 0, it plays a role of preventing the lamp control from being performed again from the first specified position of the grandchild table because the timer of the child table still remains.

In this way, by setting the brightness data specified at the end of the grandchild table to be 10-minute data, the lamp is maintained with the determined single light emission, thereby preventing the problem that the lighting of the lamp continues to change. can be done. Furthermore, if the luminance data for 600000 msec (10 minutes) is specified at the end of the grandchild table specified at the end of the child table, it is possible to more effectively prevent the problem that the lighting of the lamp continues to change. can.

As described above, the luminance data table consists of a parent table, a child table, and a grandchild table. Of these, only characteristic tables are shown, and other tables may be omitted.

[Brightness data table used in the start part]
FIG. 192 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the luminance data table used for the start part. As shown in FIG. 192, in the parent table of the luminance data table used for the start part, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes), and the lamp for each game effect lamp 9 Information designating child tables (WD1, YD1, LD1, AD1) referred to during control are stored.

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

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

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

The grandchild table W11 is specified between times ta10 and ta12. The grandchild table W11 corresponds to the grandchild table W11 for the frame lamp in the shutter 1 luminance data table shown in FIG. 251 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 251, in the grandchild table W11, as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, the luminance data is set to decrease stepwise from "A00" to "600" at intervals of 30 msec. specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W11 to reduce the brightness step by step in correspondence with the effect of closing the shutter as shown in FIGS. 58(a10) to (a12). The frame lamp lights up in red while

The grandchild table W12 is specified at times ta13 to ta18. The grandchild table W12 corresponds to the grandchild table W12 for the frame lamp in the shutter 2 luminance data table shown in FIG. 251 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 251, in the grandchild table W12, "600" is specified at 30 msec as RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. Effect control CPU120, by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W12, predetermined from the shutter closed state as shown in FIGS. The frame lamp is lighted in red while maintaining the luminance in a reduced state corresponding to the effect of gradually opening after the time is maintained.

In this way, in the child table WD1 of the start part, during the time ta1 to ta12 before the shutter is completely closed, the frame lamps change color and brightness, such as yellow background lighting, red blinking, white blinking, and red lighting. While the brightness data is switched so that it lights up/blinks while changing the brightness, in the time ta13 to ta18 after the shutter is completely closed, the frame lamp is kept in a reduced brightness state and lit in red. maintains the luminance data. As a result, before the shutter closes, the effect in the start part is livened up by the lighting mode of the frame lamp, and when the shutter is closed, the lighting mode of the frame lamp is maintained, so that the content of the effect when the shutter opens can be enjoyed by the player. , and as a result, the player can better see the performance in the subsequent fanning part.

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

At time ta19, which is the last part of the start part, the frame lamp is turned off in response to the effect that the shutter is maintained in a completely open state as shown in FIG. 61(a19). As described with reference to FIG. 53, "lights out" means a state in which the luminance data is "0". You can become Also in the following description, the part of "lights out" may be "substantially lighted out". At time ta19, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes. The lamp remains off.

In this way, since the frame lamp is turned off when the shutter is fully opened, the player can be easily informed of the timing when the shutter is fully opened by the lighting mode of the frame lamp. In addition, in the inflection part of SP first half reach A and the inflection part of SP first half reach B that are executed after the start part, the shutter is fully opened and the frame lamp is turned off, corresponding to each SP first half reach Frame lamps start lighting or blinking based on the brightness data table. In this way, after the shutter is fully opened and the frame lamp is turned off, the frame lamp starts lighting in accordance with the progress of the effect in the SP first half reach. can be conveyed in an easy-to-understand manner.

The grandchild table included in the frame lamp child table WD8 is included in the SP reach brightness data table described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 202, in the child table WD8 of the frame lamp, the grandchild table referred to in the character action part is specified for the frame lamp. Further, the child table WD8 is used for lamp control of the frame lamp corresponding to the first half (falling portion) of the character object motion shown in FIGS. be done.

For example, the grandchild table W2 is designated for 7000 msec from time th1 to th3. The grandchild table W2 corresponds to the grandchild table W2 for the frame lamp in the accessory action red blinking luminance data table shown in FIG. 228 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 228, in the grandchild table W2, "A00" is specified for the first 40 msec and "333" is specified for the next 30 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. ing. The effect control CPU 120 performs ramp control based on the grandchild table W2, so that after the winning/failing branch shown in FIG. 77 (e17), the accessories shown in FIGS. Corresponding to such an effect, the frame lamp blinks in red.

Note that during the 7000 msec period from th1 to th3 when the role object falls, lamp control is also performed for the role object lamp 9A. For example, during the period of 7000 msec from th1 to th3 when the character object falls, the effect control CPU 120 selects the child table corresponding to the character object falling motion on the character object lamp 9A and the grandchild table specified by the child table. Based on this, the role lamp 9A is flashed in red.

As a result, it is possible to more effectively draw the player's attention to the presentation of the falling role by the lighting mode of the frame lamp and the role lamp 9A.

[Brightness data table used in SP second half reach A fanning part]
FIG. 203 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the luminance data table used for the backing part of reach A in the second half of SP. As shown in FIG. 203, in the parent table in the brightness data table used for the fanning part of the reach A in the second half of SP, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes). and information designating child tables (WD9, YD9, LD9, AD9) to be referenced during lamp control for the effect lamp 9 are stored.

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

The brightness data corresponding to times th4 to th10 are used for lamp control of the frame lamps corresponding to the latter half (rising portion) of the accessory action shown in FIGS. 171(h4) to 172(h10). Specifically, at time th4 to th6, the frame lamp flashes in yellow corresponding to the effect that the character rises, and then at time th7 to th10, based on the grandchild table W3, the frame lamp is SP reach. The yellow corresponding to the background of the background also appears to be hazy. As a result, the frame lamp gradually changes from blinking in yellow to lighting in yellow corresponding to the background of reach A in the latter half of the SP, thereby making it easy for the player to understand that the reach A has developed in the latter half of the SP. I can tell you.

Note that during the time th4 to th10 when the role product rises, lamp control is also performed for the role product lamp 9A. For example, during the time th4 to th10 when the character rises, the effect control CPU 120, based on the child table corresponding to the movement of the character on the character lamp 9A and the grandchild table specified by the child table, The brightness of the role product lamp 9A is reduced step by step so as to gradually turn off the role product lamp 9A.

As a result, the lighting mode of the role lamp 9A does not make the player conscious of the rise of the role, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp shows that the player has reached the second half reach A of the SP. It can draw the player's attention.

The grandchild table W3 is specified for 1130 msec of time ti1, 1330 msec of time ti20, and 1560 msec of time ti11. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W3 to light the frame lamp in a hazy yellow color corresponding to the SP reach background.

Here, as shown in FIG. 229, in the grandchild table W3, the brightness data of the frame lamp is switched over one period of 720 msec (180 msec×4). At time th7 to th10 and time ti1, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W3 for 1130 msec, which is more than one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow over 1130 msec, and at time ti20, The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W3 for 1330 msec, which is more than one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow over 1330 msec, and at time ti11, the effect control is performed for 1560 msec, which is more than two cycles. By the CPU 120 performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W3, the frame lamp lights up in yellow over 1560 msec.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of mutually different timings in one child table WD9, thereby lighting the frame lamp in yellow at a plurality of mutually different timings. By changing the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 by the lamp control between a plurality of mutually different timings, the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD9, it is possible to use the common grandchild table W3 for lamp control without preparing separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings, but by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3. While reducing the data volume, it is possible to vary the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the SP reach background. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

A grandchild table W4 is specified for 150 msec between times ti15 and ti24 and for 210 msec between times ti14, ti23 and ti35. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4. At time ti15, time ti24, time ti14, time ti23, and time ti35, the grandchild table W4 is specified. performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, the frame lamp flashes white twice, and at time ti14, time ti23, and time ti35, the effect control CPU 120 turns on the grandchild for one cycle of 210 msec. By performing lamp control based on the table W4, the frame lamp flashes white three times.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of mutually different timings in one child table WD9, thereby blinking the frame lamp in white at a plurality of mutually different timings. By differentiating the times for referring to the grandchild table W4 by the lamp control between a plurality of mutually different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be changed to two or three times. As a result, by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings, the amount of data used for lamp control can be reduced, The number of white flashes can be varied. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

A grandchild table W7 is specified for 1000 msec from time ti36 to ti38. The grandchild table W7 corresponds to the grandchild table W7 for the frame lamp in the tilt 1 luminance data table without operation promotion shown in FIG. 249 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 249, in the grandchild table W7, "FDC" and "300" are specified alternately at intervals of 30 msec as RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W7.

At time ti39, which is the last part of the provocation part of reach A in the second half of SP, it is provoked whether or not Yume-chan and Jam-chan will catch Bakuchu in the success/fail branch (big hit, loss) as shown in FIG. 95 (i39). The frame lamp lights up in white to correspond to such an effect. At time ti39, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 for a maximum of 10 minutes. As shown in FIG. 249, in the grandchild table W8, "FDC" is specified at 100000 msec as the RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, and the timer value corresponding to the child table WD2 is Until it becomes 0, the frame lamp keeps lighting in white based on the grandchild table W8 for 10 minutes.

In this way, the child table WD9 in reach A in the second half of the SP is a reach without operation prompt, and after the frame lamp flashes in white based on the grandchild table W7, the frame lamp lights up in white based on the grandchild table W8. Specifically, in the success/failure branching in the inflection part of the reach A in the second half of the SP where no operation promotion is performed, the last luminance data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W7, "FDC" (white lighting), is used. In addition, since the luminance data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W8 is designed, it is possible to clearly inform the player of the winning/failing branch (decision timing) without excessively increasing the data capacity used for lamp control. can.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 95 (i39), the frame lamp is maintained in white lighting with the sound muted, so that the player can easily understand the winner/failure branch (decision timing). .

Further, as shown in FIG. 249, “FDC” is specified for the last RGB data of the grandchild table W7 used for 1000 msec from the time ti36 to ti38, and further, the grandchild table W8 used at the subsequent time ti39 is "FDC" is also designated for the last RGB data. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 maintains the state of outputting the luminance data of "FDC" to the LED driver based on the grandchild table W7, and thereafter continues to output the luminance data of "FDC" based on the grandchild table W8 to the LED driver. Since the information is output to the driver, it is possible to favorably produce the timing for determining whether the decision is made by a simpler lamp control without excessively increasing the amount of data.

In addition, in the child table WD9 of the SP second half reach A fanning part, luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that when a character appears, the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. Luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to the character when the character speaks.

For example, at time ti2, the effect control CPU 120 creates an effect such that Yume-chan and Jam-chan located on the left side of the screen face off against Bakuchu located on the right side of the screen as shown in FIG. 84(i2). Correspondingly, the frame left lamp is lit in white corresponding to Mumu-chan and Jam-chan, and the frame right lamp is lit in red corresponding to Bakuchu. At time ti3, the effect control CPU 120 displays a green frame corresponding to Yume-chan in response to an effect in which Yume-chan, who is positioned on the left side of the screen as shown in FIG. Blink the left lamp. At time ti4, the production control CPU 120 displays the left frame lamp in purple corresponding to Jam-chan in response to an production in which Jam-chan located on the left side of the screen as shown in FIG. flash. At time ti5, the effect control CPU 120 displays the right frame lamp in red corresponding to Bakuchu in response to the effect that Bakuchu located on the right side of the screen emits lines as shown in FIG. 85(i5). flash.

As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters uttering lines are displayed, which character is uttering lines can be favorably expressed by lighting/blinking of the frame lamp, and the effect in the fanning part can be favorably played. can show people.

In addition, in the child table WD9 of the SP latter half Reach A fanning part, luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that when a character takes action, the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. ing.

For example, at time ti21, the effect control CPU 120 responds to the effect that Yume-chan, who is positioned on the left side of the screen as shown in FIG. Flash the frame left lamp in green. Furthermore, at time ti32 and time ti34, the effect control CPU 120 determines the color corresponding to the character when there is a character's dialogue but no caption as shown in FIGS. to make the frame lamp flash.

In this way, even if there is a character's dialogue but no caption as shown in FIGS. 94(i32) and 95(i34), the frame lamp lights/blinks in the color corresponding to the character The luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified as follows. As a result, even in a scene where there is no caption display, it is possible to suitably express that the character is uttering a line by means of the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9, so that the player can suitably see the performance in the slamming part. can.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of mutually different timings in one child table WD12, thereby lighting the frame lamp in yellow at a plurality of mutually different timings. By changing the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 by the lamp control between a plurality of mutually different timings, the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD12, the common grandchild table W3 is used for lamp control without preparing different grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings, but by changing the reference time. While reducing the data volume, it is possible to vary the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the SP reach background. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

A grandchild table W4 is specified for 150 msec between time tn3, time tn12 and time tn25 and for 210 msec between time tn4, tn13, time tn15, time tn19 and time tn22. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4. At time tn3, time tn12, time tn25, time tn4, time tn13, time tn15, time tn19, and time tn22, grandchild table W4 is specified, but at time tn3, time tn12, and time tn25, The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 in a time shorter than one cycle of 150 msec, so that the frame lamp blinks white twice, time tn4, time tn13, time tn15, time tn19, And at time tn22, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 in one cycle of 210 msec, so that the frame lamp flashes white three times.

Thus, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of mutually different timings in one child table WD12, thereby blinking the frame lamp in white at a plurality of mutually different timings. By differentiating the times for referring to the grandchild table W4 by the lamp control between a plurality of mutually different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be changed to two or three times. As a result, by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings, the amount of data used for lamp control can be reduced, The number of white flashes can be varied. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

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

As a result, as shown in FIG. 109 (n27), the frame lamp is maintained in white lighting with the sound muted in the success/failure branch in the swing part of the reach B in the second half of the SP, and the player is notified whether the success/failure is determined. Branching (decision timing) can be conveyed in an easy-to-understand manner.

In addition, in the child table WD12 of the SP second half reach B fanning part, luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that when a character appears, the frame lamp lights up in the color corresponding to the character. Luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to the character when the character speaks.

For example, at time tn2, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to an effect such that Jam-chan and Nana located on the left side of the screen face off against a crab located on the right side of the screen as shown in FIG. 101 (n2). Then, the frame left lamp blinks in white corresponding to Jam-chan and Nana-chan, and the frame right lamp lights in red corresponding to the crab. Furthermore, since Jam-chan and Nana-chan located on the left side of the screen are uttering lines, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame left lamp in white.

As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters uttering lines are displayed, which character is uttering lines can be favorably expressed by lighting/blinking of the frame lamp, and the effect in the fanning part can be favorably played. can show people.

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

For example, at time tn18, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in pink corresponding to Nana-chan in response to Nana-chan praying effect as shown in FIG. 106 (n18). Further, at time tn10, the effect control CPU 120 displays the color (red) corresponding to the character (crab) when there is a character (crab) dialogue but no caption as shown in FIG. 104 (n10). to make the frame lamp flash.

As shown in FIG. 104 (n10), even if there is a character's dialogue but no caption, the luminance data (subscript n10) is set so that the frame lamp lights/blinks in the color corresponding to the character. RGB data in the table) is specified. As a result, even in a scene where there is no caption display, it is possible to suitably express that the character is uttering a line by means of the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9, so that the player can suitably see the performance in the slamming part. can.

FIG. 210 is a diagram for explaining an example of the parent table and child table for the frame lamp in the brightness data table used for the hit epilogue part of SP latter half reach B. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 210(a1), in the parent table for the winning epilogue used in the winning epilogue part of the SP latter half reach B, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes). and information designating child tables (WD13, YD13, LD13, AD13) to be referenced during lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 are stored.

As shown in FIG. 210(a2), in the winning epilogue child table WD13 used for the winning epilogue part of the SP latter half reach B, the time of the winning epilogue part in the winning epilogue part of the SP latter half reach B is subdivided for the frame ramp. A grandchild table that is referenced in each time zone is specified. Each grandchild table included in the frame lamp child table WD13 is included in the SP reach brightness data table described with reference to FIG.

For example, at time to1, grandchild table W4 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs ramp control based on the grandchild table W4, so that after the success/failure branch shown in FIG. to blink the frame lamp in white.

The white lighting in the win/fail branch (tn27) is based on the grandchild table W8 shown in FIG. The data is "FFF". Accordingly, at the time of winning, the frame lamp blinks in the same color (white) as the winning/failing branch and more brightly than the winning/failed branch. can be conveyed to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

The grandchild table W1 is specified at times to2 to to5. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W1, and makes the caught crabs as shown in FIGS. Corresponding to the pleasing performance, the frame lamp is lighted smoothly in rainbow colors corresponding to the confirmation of winning.

As shown in FIG. 210(b1), in the parent table for common symbol output used in the hit epilogue part of reach B in the second half of SP, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes). ) and information designating a child table (WD0, YD0, LD0, AD0) referred to during lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is stored.

As shown in FIG. 210(b2), in the child table WD0 for common symbol output used in the winning epilogue part of the SP latter half reach B, the time of the symbol output part in the winning epilogue part of the SP reaching second half B is set for the frame lamp. It subdivides and specifies a grandchild table that is referenced in each time period.

For example, during 5000 msec between time to6 and time to7, grandchild table W4 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, thereby making the frame lamp correspond to the effect of producing a winning pattern as shown in FIGS. 111(o6) and 112(o7). Blink in bright white corresponding to the output.

At time to8, which is the last of the winning epilogue part, the frame lamps are smoothed in rainbow colors to correspond to the effect that the final winning pattern is displayed in the center of the screen as shown in FIG. 112 (o8). Light. At time to8, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes. The frame lamp keeps lighting in rainbow colors.

In this way, in the child table of the hit epilogue part, the grandchild table W1 is specified for times to2 to to5. The frame lamps are smoothly illuminated in rainbow colors to correspond to the pleasing effect, and the grandchild table W1 is also specified for the time to8, and the winning pattern is displayed in the center of the screen based on the grandchild table W1. The frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow colors, corresponding to the production that seems to be. As a result, in the winning epilogue part, the grandchild table for the winning epilogue used when announcing the winning and the grandchild table for displaying the symbols used when displaying the winning symbols are shared, so that different Without preparing a grandchild table, it is possible to reduce the data capacity used for lamp control for lighting in rainbow colors, and to liven up each performance with a sense of unity. As a result, while reducing the amount of data, it is possible to make the performance in the winning epilogue part more visible to the player by using the frame lamp.

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

As shown in FIG. 211(a1), in the parent table for the common losing epilogue used for the losing epilogue part of SP latter half reach B, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes). ) and information designating child tables (WD4, YD4, LD4, AD4) to be referenced during lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 are stored.

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

For example, the grandchild table W13 is specified during 200 msec of time tp1. The effect control CPU 120 performs ramp control based on the grandchild table W13, so as to correspond to the effect of failing to catch a crab as shown in FIG. to light the frame lamp in white.

The white lighting at the success/fail branch (tn27) is based on the grandchild table W8 shown in FIG. 252, and its RGB data are "888" and "444". As a result, at the time of losing, the frame lamp can be lit more darkly in white while maintaining the same color by utilizing the white lighting at the success/fail branch (tn27). can be notified to

A grandchild table W14 is specified between time tp2 and time tp3 for 5800 msec. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W14 to correspond to the effect that Jam-chan and Nana-chan are disappointed as shown in FIGS. 113(p2) and (p3). The frame lamp is lit in white that is darker than tp1.

The rainbow lighting at the time of winning (to2-to5) is based on the grandchild table W1 shown in FIG. The white lighting is based on the grandchild table W14 shown in FIG. 252, which will be described later, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 250 msec, which is longer than the hit. Thus, when winning, the lighting color of the frame lamp is switched at shorter intervals than when losing, so that the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 can inform the player of winning in an easy-to-understand manner. Furthermore, while the lighting by the frame lamp is emphasized more at the time of winning than at the time of losing, the lighting by the frame lamp can be made more calm at the time of losing, and as a result, the winning and losing are contrasted by the lamps. This can be communicated to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

At time tp4, grandchild table W15 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W15, and turns off the frame lamp in response to the effect that a failure is reported as shown in FIG. 114 (p4) and the screen turns dark. .

At time tp5, grandchild table W21 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 controls the lamps based on the grandchild table W21, so as to correspond to the effect that the normal screen as shown in FIG. 114 (p5) is displayed. to turn it on. Further, at time tp5, lamp control is performed while repeatedly referring to the luminance data included in the grandchild table W21.

[Brightness data table used in SP final reach fanning part]
FIG. 212 is a diagram for explaining an example of a parent table in the brightness data table used for the backing part of the SP final reach. As shown in FIG. 212, in the parent table of the luminance data table used for the final reach part of the SP, the maximum time for lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes), and each game effect and information designating the child tables (WD15, YD15, LD15, AD15) referred to during lamp control for the lamp 9 are stored.

FIGS. 213 and 214 are diagrams for explaining an example of a child table for a frame lamp in the brightness data table used for the final reach part of the SP. Each grandchild table included in the frame lamp child table WD15 is included in the SP reach brightness data table described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIGS. 213 and 214, in the frame lamp child table WD15, the frame lamp subdivides the time of the SP final reach part, and designates a grandchild table to be referenced in each time period. .

The brightness data corresponding to times th4 to th10 are used for lamp control of the frame lamps corresponding to the latter half (rising portion) of the accessory action shown in FIGS. 171(h4) to 172(h10). Specifically, at time th4 to th6, the frame lamp flashes in yellow corresponding to the effect that the character rises, and then at time th7 to th10, based on the grandchild table W3, the frame lamp is SP reach. The yellow corresponding to the background of the background also appears to be hazy. As a result, the frame lamp gradually changes from blinking in yellow to glowing in yellow corresponding to the background of the SP final reach, so that the player can easily understand that the SP final reach has developed. can be done.

Note that during the time th4 to th10 when the role product rises, lamp control is also performed for the role product lamp 9A. For example, during the time th4 to th10 when the character rises, the effect control CPU 120, based on the child table corresponding to the movement of the character on the character lamp 9A and the grandchild table specified by the child table, The brightness of the role product lamp 9A is reduced step by step so as to gradually turn off the role product lamp 9A.

As a result, the lighting mode of the role lamp 9A does not make the player conscious of the rise of the role, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp allows the player to play the game on the screen indicating that the SP final reach has occurred. can draw people's attention.

The grandchild table W3 is specified for 1130 msec of time tr1, 1330 msec of time tr19 and tr22, and 1560 msec of time tr15. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W3 to light the frame lamp in a hazy yellow color corresponding to the SP reach background.

Here, as shown in FIG. 229, in the grandchild table W3, the brightness data of the frame lamp is switched over one period of 720 msec (180 msec×4). At time th7 to th10 and time tr1, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W3 during 1130msec exceeding one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights yellow over 1130msec, and time tr19 and time At tr22, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W3 for 1330 msec, which is more than one cycle, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow over 1330 msec. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W3, so that the frame lamp lights up in yellow over 1560 msec.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W3 at a plurality of mutually different timings in one child table WD15, thereby lighting the frame lamp in yellow at a plurality of mutually different timings. By changing the time for referring to the grandchild table W3 by the lamp control between a plurality of mutually different timings, the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow can be changed. As a result, in one child table WD15, the common grandchild table W3 is used for lamp control without preparing different grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings, but by changing the reference time. While reducing the data volume, it is possible to vary the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the SP reach background. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

Further, the child table WD9 used in the end part of the SP second half reach A, the child table WD12 used in the end part of the SP second half reach B, and the child table WD15 used in the end part of the SP are different from each other. In order to change the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing another grandchild table for each of a plurality of timings, the amount of data used for ramp control is reduced in a plurality of ready-to-win performances, It is possible to vary the time of lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the SP reach background. In addition, in the child table WD2 used in the inflection part of the SP first half reach A and in the child table WD5 used in the inflection part of the SP first half reach B, a different grandchild table is similarly prepared for each of a plurality of mutually different timings. By changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3, while reducing the amount of data used for lamp control, the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the background of the SP reach can be changed. good too.

A grandchild table W4 is specified for 150 msec at time tr36 and for 210 msec at time tr40 and tr47. The effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in white by performing lamp control based on the grandchild table W4. At time tr36, time tr40, and time tr47, the grandchild table W4 is designated, but at time tr36, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 in a time shorter than one cycle of 150 msec. By doing so, the frame lamp flashes white twice, and at time tr40 and time tr47, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4 in one cycle of 210 msec, so that the frame lamp flashes white three times.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the same grandchild table W4 at a plurality of mutually different timings in one child table WD15, thereby blinking the frame lamp in white at a plurality of mutually different timings. By differentiating the times for referring to the grandchild table W4 by the lamp control between a plurality of mutually different timings, the number of times the frame lamp blinks in white can be changed to two or three times. As a result, by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings, the amount of data used for lamp control can be reduced, The number of white flashes can be varied. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

Furthermore, the child table WD2 used in the early part of the SP first half Reach A, the child table WD5 used in the first half SP Reach B part, the child table WD9 used in the SP second half Reach A part, and the SP second half Reach B part In both the child table WD12 used in the part and the child table WD15 used in the inflection part of the SP final reach, a common grandchild table W4 is used without preparing separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings. By changing the reference time while using it, it is possible to reduce the amount of data used for lamp control and to vary the number of white flashes. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

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

The grandchild table W5 corresponds to the grandchild tables W5a to W5e for frame lamps in the common red cut-in luminance data tables shown in FIGS. 233 to 235, which will be described later. As shown in FIGS. 233 to 235, in the grandchild table W5 (W5a to W5e), as the RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, various values are first applied to only the R data at intervals of 30 msec. Then, at intervals of 20 msec, data indicating various luminance values are specified only for the R data, and finally, at intervals of 30 msec and 40 msec, various luminance values are specified only for the R data. is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W5 so as to correspond to the cut-in effect (red cut-in effect) shown in FIG. 128 (r41), and lights the frame lamp in red.

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

As shown in FIGS. 128(r40) and (r41), when the push button 31B is displayed and the cut-in effect is executed, the character does not utter a line and subtitles are not displayed. Furthermore, frame lamps that are subject to lamp control in situations other than the cut-in effect in the SP final reach continue to be subject to lamp control even in the cut-in effect.

As a result, the display prompting the player to operate the push button 31B (the button display) and the subtitle display do not overlap each other when the cut-in effect is executed, and the overlapping of the two makes it difficult to recognize one of the displays. It is possible to prevent misunderstanding of the content of the display. Furthermore, the luminance data of the lamp control in the button display for the cut-in effect and the cut-in effect (RGB data in the grandchild tables W4, W5, W6) is the frame of the same place as the lamp control in the end part of the SP final reach By being designed to use the lamp, it is possible to prevent the lighting/blinking of the extra lamp from being mixed and spoiling the aesthetic appearance, and to provide a suitable effect in the fanning part.

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

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

The grandchild table W10 is designated at the time tr51 to tr54, which is the end of the fanning part of the SP final reach. The grandchild table W10 corresponds to the grandchild table W10 for the frame lamp in the operation-promoting luminance data table shown in FIG. 250, which will be described later. As shown in Fig. 250, in the grandchild table W10, "500" or "D00" is specified at intervals of 30 msec as RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. , by performing ramp control based on the grandchild table W10, corresponding to an effect prompting the player to pull the stick controller 31A (trigger) as shown in FIGS. , the frame lamp flashes in red, and lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W10 for a maximum of 10 minutes from time tr51 to tr54, and the value of the timer corresponding to the child table WD15 becomes 0. Until then, the frame lamp keeps blinking in red based on the grandchild table W10 for 10 minutes.

As a result, as shown in FIGS. 131 (r49) to 132 (r54), the sound (BGM) corresponding to the operation promotion and the reach was output in the success/failure branching of the SP final reach part. In this state, the frame lamps are switched one after another such as white flashing, red lighting, red flashing, etc., and it is possible to enhance the effect of promoting the operation for the player at the winning/failing branch (decision timing).

Here, the child table WD2 used in the boost part of SP first half reach A, the child table WD5 used in the boost part of SP first half reach B, the child table WD9 used in the SP second half reach A boost part, and the SP second half reach B In the case where there is no operation promotion that urges the player to pull the stick controller 31A (trigger) like the child table WD12 used in the fanning part, the frame lamp lights up at the last pass/fail branch of the fanning part. It remains lit in white, and then transitions to the winning epilogue part or the losing epilogue part. On the other hand, as in the child table WD15 used in the swaying part of the SP final reach, when an operation is promoted to urge the player to pull the stick controller 31A (trigger), as shown in FIG. 130 (r47). After flashing in white in an effect to agitate whether or not the ally character will catch Bakuchu, as shown in FIG. After the frame lamp lights up in red corresponding to such an effect, the switch is made to the grandchild table W9, and based on the grandchild table W9, the stick controller 31A (trigger) as shown in FIGS. The frame lamp lights up in red to correspond to the effect displayed in the center.

In this way, in the SP ready-to-win effect in which no operation promotion is performed to prompt the player to operate in the success/fail branch, the sound is muted and the frame lamp is kept lit in white, so that the effect seems to have stopped. can be shown to the player, and the winner/failure branch (decision timing) can be conveyed to the player in an easy-to-understand manner. On the other hand, in the SP ready-to-win effect in which operation promotion is performed to prompt the player to operate at the success/fail branch, the sound corresponding to the operation promotion and the sound (BGM) corresponding to the ready-to-win are output, and further, the operation promotion is performed. By switching the grandchild table a plurality of times to control the frame lamps so as to correspond to , the timing of deciding whether or not to win can be favorably produced by the lighting modes of the frame lamps. In this way, the decision timing of the success/failure branching can be favorably produced by different sound control and lamp control depending on whether the operation prompting is performed or not at the success/failure branching. Furthermore, in the SP final reach, in which an operation is promoted to prompt the player to perform an operation in the success/fail branch, based on the grandchild table W10, the brightness data (RGB data) is set to "500" and "D00" at intervals of 30 msec. As a result, it is possible to suitably produce the timing of deciding whether to decide whether the decision is true or not by the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

In addition, in the child table WD15 of the SP final reach fanning part, luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is designated so that when a character appears, the frame lamp lights in the color corresponding to the character. Luminance data (RGB data in the grandchild table) is specified so that the frame lamp blinks in the color corresponding to the character when the character utters a line.

For example, at time tr2, the effect control CPU 120 responds to an effect such as shown in FIG. Then, the left frame lamp is blinked in white corresponding to the six ally characters, and the right frame lamp is lit in red corresponding to Bakuchu. Furthermore, since the six teammate characters positioned on the left side of the screen are speaking lines, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame left lamp in white. In addition, at time tr3, the effect control CPU 120 creates a red frame corresponding to Bakuchu in response to the effect that Bakuchu located on the right side of the screen emits lines as shown in FIG. 115(r3). Flash the right lamp.

As a result, in a scene where a plurality of characters uttering lines are displayed, which character is uttering lines can be favorably expressed by lighting/blinking of the frame lamp, and the effect in the fanning part can be favorably played. can show people.

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

For example, at time tr11, the effect control CPU 120 blinks the frame lamp in blue corresponding to the maid A, corresponding to the effect that the maid A chases Bakuchu as shown in FIG. 118 (r11). Furthermore, at time tr25, time tr27, time tr29, time tr31, time tr33, and time tr35, the effect control CPU 120 is shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 215(c2), in the child table WD0 for common pattern output used in the SP final reach winning epilogue part, the time of the pattern output portion in the SP final reach winning epilogue part is subdivided for frame lamps. In addition, a grandchild table to be referenced in each time zone is specified.

For example, the grandchild table W4 is specified between time ts8 and time ts9 for 5000 msec. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, so as to correspond to the effect of producing a winning pattern as shown in FIGS. Blink the corresponding bright white color.

At the time ts10, which is the last of the winning epilogue part, the frame lamp is smoothly lit in rainbow color in correspondence with the effect that the winning pattern is displayed in the center of the screen as shown in FIG. 136 (s10). At time ts10, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes. The frame lamp keeps lighting in rainbow colors.

In this way, in the child table of the winning epilogue part, the grandchild table W1 is designated for times ts4 to ts7, and based on the grandchild table W1, the frame lamps are displayed in correspondence with the effect of catching Bakuchu. The frame lamp is illuminated smoothly in rainbow colors, and furthermore, the grandchild table W1 is specified at time ts10, and the frame lamp is displayed in correspondence with the effect that the winning pattern is displayed in the center of the screen based on the grandchild table W1. Lights up smoothly in rainbow colors. As a result, in the winning epilogue part, the grandchild table used at the time of notifying the winning and the grandchild table used at the time of displaying the winning pattern are shared, so that there is no need to prepare separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings. , While reducing the data capacity used for lamp control for lighting in rainbow colors, it is possible to liven up each performance with a sense of unity. As a result, while reducing the amount of data, it is possible to make the performance in the winning epilogue part more visible to the player by using the frame lamp.

In addition, in the child table WD16 of the epilogue part per SP final reach, in the effect that the character is falling, the rainbow chromatic color and the achromatic color (RGB data of "333") are alternately switched. Frame lamps are lamp controlled. As a result, by interposing the achromatic colors between the chromatic colors of the rainbow, it is possible to emphasize the fact that the player has won a big hit and congratulate the player. After that, in the production that the ally character catches the bomb, the smooth rainbow color lighting without achromatic color is executed to congratulate the player for the big win in a calm manner. be able to. As a result, the effect in the epilogue part of the SP final reach can be favorably shown to the player.

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

As shown in FIG. 216(a1), in the parent table for the losing epilogue used for the losing epilogue part of the SP final reach, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes). , and information designating child tables (WD17, YD17, LD17, AD17) referred to during lamp control for each game effect lamp 9 are stored.

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

For example, the grandchild table W13 is specified during 200 msec of the time tu1. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W13, so that after the success/failure branch shown in FIG. to light the frame lamp in white.

Red blinking in the success/failure branch (tr54) is based on the grandchild table W10 shown in FIG. 252, and its RGB data are "888" and "444". As a result, at the time of losing, the frame lamp can be lit in white, which is darker than the red flashing at the winning/failing branch (tr54), so that the player can be suitably notified of the losing.

The grandchild table W14 is specified for 3900 msec of the time tr2. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W14, so that the frame lamp is set to tu1 in response to the effect that the six teammate characters are disappointed as shown in FIG. 137(u2). Lights up in a darker white color.

The rainbow lighting at the time of winning (ts4 to ts7) is based on the grandchild table W1 shown in FIG. is based on the grandchild table W14 shown in FIG. 252, which will be described later, and the RGB data are switched at intervals of 250 msec, which are longer than the hit. Thus, when winning, the lighting color of the frame lamp is switched at shorter intervals than when losing, so that the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 can inform the player of winning in an easy-to-understand manner. Furthermore, while the lighting by the frame lamp is emphasized more at the time of winning than at the time of losing, the lighting by the frame lamp can be made more calm at the time of losing, and as a result, the winning and losing are contrasted by the lamps. This can be communicated to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

In addition, the child table WD4 of SP first half reach A, the child table WD7 of SP first half reach B, the child table WD11 of SP second half reach A, and the child table WD14 of SP second half reach B are the same as the SP final reach child table WD17. In addition, the frame lamp is lit in the lighting mode at the time of losing based on the grandchild table W14. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the frame lamp based on the grandchild table W14 for 5800 msec in the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, while in the SP final reach it takes 3900 msec. Meanwhile, the frame lamp is lamp-controlled based on the grandchild table W14. In this way, while the grandchild table used for lamp control at the time of losing is common among different reaches, the time for lamp control can be varied by referring to the grandchild table. Thus, in the child table used for each of a plurality of different reaches, the reference time can be changed while using a common grandchild table W4 without preparing a grandchild table dedicated to failure in each of a plurality of different reaches. Thus, while reducing the amount of data used for lamp control, it is possible to vary the time for which the frame lamp is lit in the lighting mode corresponding to the failure. As a result, it is possible to inform the player of the loss in a suitable manner in each of the plurality of reach.

At time tu3, grandchild table W15 is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W15, and turns off the frame lamp in response to the effect that a failure is reported as shown in FIG. 137 (u3) and the screen turns dark. .

Each grandchild table included in the frame lamp child table WD18 is included in the SP reach brightness data table described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 217, in the child table WD18 of the frame lamp, the time of the relief per part is subdivided for the frame lamp, and a grandchild table to be referred to in each time zone is specified.

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

In this way, from the lighting mode of the frame lamps based on the grandchild table W21 lastly specified in each of the child tables WD4, WD7, WD11, WD14, and WD17 used at the time of failure, the child table WD18 used at the time of relief is displayed first. By switching to the lighting mode of the frame lamp based on the designated grandchild table W16, the frame lamp lights up even brighter. As a result, since the frame lamp lights more brightly than the state after the notification of the loss at the time of the relief hit, the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 makes it easier for the player to understand the notification of the loss and the subsequent notification of the relief hit. I can show you.

In the present embodiment, once the frame lamp lights up in yellow corresponding to the normal background after the loss notification, and furthermore, at the time of the relief hit, the frame lamp lights up brighter in red corresponding to the relief effect. there were. However, it is not limited to such an aspect. For example, at the end of each of the child tables WD4, WD7, WD11, WD14, and WD17 used at the time of failure, the grandchild table W15 is designated, and "111" is designated as the last luminance data (RGB data). may be As a result, the frame lamp is turned off in the white system at the end of the losing time. Furthermore, "AAA" may be specified as the first luminance data (RGB data) in the grandchild table W16 specified first of the child table WD18 used at the time of repair. As a result, the frame lamp lights up brightly in the white system at the beginning of the relief hit after the loss notification. In this way, at the time of a relief hit, the frame lamp is lit in the same color (white) as the state after the loss notification and brighter than the state after the loss notification. It is possible to show the information and the subsequent relief winning information in an easy-to-understand manner for the player.

At time tv2 of 700 msec, grandchild table W17 is specified. The grandchild table W17 corresponds to the grandchild table W17 for the frame lamp in the 2 luminance data table per remedy shown in FIG. 255 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 255, in the grandchild table W17, as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, white-based data such as "AAA" and "DDD" are displayed for each lamp at intervals of 30 msec. is specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W17 to light the frame lamp in white in correspondence with the white-out effect shown in FIG. 139 (v2).

A grandchild table W4 is specified for 5000 msec between time tv3 and time tv4. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, thereby causing the frame lamp to blink in white in correspondence with the pattern output effects shown in FIGS. 140(v3) and (v4).

The grandchild table W1 is designated at time tv5, which is the last part of the repair per part. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W1, so as to correspond to the pattern output effect shown in FIG. . At time tv5, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes. The frame lamp keeps lighting in rainbow colors.

[Brightness data table used in the re-lottery part]

As shown in FIG. 218, in the parent table of the luminance data table used for the re-lottery part, the maximum time during which lamp control is performed for each game effect lamp 9 is 600000 msec (10 minutes). Information designating child tables (WD19, YD19, LD19, AD19) referred to during lamp control is stored.

(Luminance data table used before prompting)
FIG. 219 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for frame lamps in the brightness data table used in the re-lottery part (before prompting the operation). As shown in FIG. 219, as the child table WD19 of the frame lamp, a child table used before the pattern starts to move and a child table used after the pattern starts to move are prepared. In each child table of these re-lottery parts, the time of the re-lottery part is subdivided for the frame lamp, and a grandchild table to be referred to in each time zone is specified.

FIG. 219(a) shows a child table that is used before the pattern starts to move. For example, between times tA6 and tA8, a grandchild table is specified for turning off the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the specified grandchild table, so that as shown in FIGS. Before the moves, the frame lamp is turned off.

In this way, after the frame lamp is once turned off, the frame lamp is lit in a lighting mode corresponding to the re-lottery performance in which the pattern starts to move, so the pattern starts to move in the re-lottery performance depending on the lighting mode of the frame lamp. This can be communicated to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

FIG. 219(b) shows a child table that is used after the pattern starts to move. Grandchild table W19 is specified at times tA9 and tA10. The grandchild table W19 corresponds to the grandchild table W19 for frame lamps in the re-lottery effect luminance data table shown in FIG. 257 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 257, in the grandchild table W19, "F00" and "700" are alternately specified at intervals of 60 msec as RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W19 to correspond to the effect that the symbol "2" is reduced as shown in FIGS. Flash the frame lamp in red.

The grandchild table W20 is specified at times tA11 to tA46. The grandchild table W20 corresponds to the grandchild table W20 for frame lamps in the re-lottery effect luminance data table shown in FIG. 258 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 258, in the grandchild table W20, "F00" and "700" are alternately specified at intervals of 30 msec, which is shorter than in the grandchild table W20, as RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. It is The effect control CPU 120 performs ramp control based on the grandchild table W20 to correspond to the effect that the symbols change at high speed as shown in FIGS. Makes the frame lamp flash rapidly in red.

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

For example, the grandchild table W4 is specified during 5000 msec from time tB1 to tB4. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, and as shown in FIGS. The frame lamp is flashed in white in correspondence with the performance of the pattern output such that the pattern of is enlarged and displayed.

The grandchild table W18 is specified at times tB5 to tB9. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W18, so that the symbol "3" as shown in FIGS. The frame lamp is blinked in rainbow colors in correspondence with the effect that the pattern of "3" is determined after the pattern is shaken and displayed.

Note that the flashing of the rainbow color by lamp control during the time tB5 to tB9 is more intense than the smooth rainbow color lighting by the lamp control based on the grandchild table W1. For example, during times tB5 to tB9, the light flashes more violently than the rainbow-colored smooth lighting. During time tB5 to tB9, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes. Based on this, the frame lamp keeps blinking in rainbow colors.

In this way, in the child table WD20 of the re-lottery part, as a ramp control when the pattern is finally decided after the re-lottery, the rainbow The frame lamp lights up in color, but when the pattern of “2” is promoted by a re-lottery and replaced with the pattern of “3”, the flashing of the rainbow color at times tB5 to tB9 is once in the epilogue part of the winning “2”. The lighting mode is more intense than the smooth rainbow-colored lighting when the symbol is temporarily stopped. As a result, the player can effectively congratulate the promotion of winning symbols in the re-lottery by the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

In addition, when the pattern starts to move due to the re-lottery effect with the light off and the pattern is displayed in a swinging manner, the smooth rainbow color is displayed based on the luminance data (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild table W19) corresponding to the re-lottery effect. has a different lighting mode, and the frame lamp blinks in red. As a result, the player is not misunderstood that the temporarily stopped winning pattern in the winning epilogue part has been determined due to the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 159(B7) to (B9), the frame lamp is designed to blink in rainbow color when the effect is started such that the symbol "3" is shaken and then the symbol is confirmed. Therefore, it is easy for the designer to decide when to start blinking the frame lamp in rainbow colors.

159(B7), the blinking of the rainbow color when the symbol "3" is shaken is shown in FIGS. 159(B8) and (B9). is also taken over. In this way, during the design confirmation period, which is performed in a short period of time, it is designed so that the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare part is performed as it is without preparing a luminance data table for special lamp control. Do not add extra capacity.

(Luminance data table used when the pattern is not promoted after the operation is promoted)
FIG. 221 is a diagram for explaining an example of a child table for frame lamps in the luminance data table used in the re-lottery part (after operation promotion). The frame lamp child table WD21 shown in FIG. 221 is a continuation of the frame lamp child table WD19 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 221, in the frame lamp child table WD21, the time of the re-lottery part is subdivided for the frame lamp, and a grandchild table to be referred to in each time period is specified.

For example, the grandchild table W4 is specified during 5000 msec from time tC1 to tC4. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W4, and as shown in FIGS. The frame lamp is flashed in white in correspondence with the performance of the pattern output such that the pattern of is enlarged and displayed.

The grandchild table W1 is specified at times tC5 to tC9. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W1, thereby producing effects such that the symbol "2" as shown in FIGS. , the frame lamp is lit smoothly in rainbow colors. During the time tC5 to tC9, lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table for a maximum of 10 minutes. Based on this, the frame lamp keeps lighting in rainbow colors.

In this way, in the child table WD21 of the re-lottery part, the grandchild table WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, and WD16 of the winning epilogue part is used as ramp control when the symbol is finally determined after the re-lottery part. Table W1 is used. As a result, there is no need to prepare separate grandchild tables for lighting the rainbow color for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, and while reducing the amount of data used for lamp control, there is a sense of unity even in different parts (timings). A certain performance can be shown to the player. As a result, while reducing the data volume, the effects in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part can be shown better to the player.

Also, in the winning epilogue part, when the winning pattern is temporarily stopped, the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow colors, and after turning off, the pattern starts to move due to a re-lottery effect, and the pattern is displayed in a swaying manner. When there is, the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color based on the luminance data corresponding to the re-lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild tables W19 and W20). As a result, the player is not misunderstood that the temporarily stopped winning pattern in the winning epilogue part has been determined due to the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

Also, when the symbol "2" is promoted by the re-lottery and replaced by the symbol "3", the lighting of the rainbow color during the time tB5 to tB9 is "2" without being promoted from the symbol "2" by the re-lottery. The lighting mode is more intense than the rainbow-colored smooth lighting at times tC5 to tC9 in the case where the pattern is maintained. Thus, when the winning pattern is promoted by the re-lottery, the player can effectively celebrate the promotion of the winning pattern by the re-lottery by the lighting mode of the frame lamp, and the winning pattern is promoted by the re-lottery. If not, the grandchild table W1 used in the epilogue part and common to the grandchild table W1 can be used to reduce the data volume.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 163(C7) to 163(C9), after the pattern output of the "2" pattern is completed, the "2" pattern becomes the normal size and the pattern is confirmed. Since the frame lamp is designed to light up in rainbow colors, it is easy for the designer to decide when to start lighting the frame lamp in rainbow colors.

163(C7), the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbol "3" is shaken is shown in FIGS. 163(C8) and 163(C9). is also taken over. In this way, during the design confirmation period, which is performed in a short period of time, it is designed so that the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare part is performed as it is without preparing a luminance data table for special lamp control. Do not add extra capacity.

[Luminance data table used in fanfare part]

As a result, by changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W4 without preparing separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings, the amount of data used for lamp control can be reduced. The number of white flashes can be varied. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

(Provocation 19)
In any of the child table WD9 used in the backing part of the SP second half reach A, the child table WD12 used in the backing part of the SP second half reach B, and the child table WD15 used in the backing part of the SP final reach, a plurality of mutually different In order to change the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3 without preparing another grandchild table for each timing, SP reach is achieved while reducing the data capacity used for lamp control in a plurality of reach performances. It is possible to change the time to turn on the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the background of . In addition, in the child table WD2 used in the inflection part of the SP first half reach A and in the child table WD5 used in the inflection part of the SP first half reach B, a different grandchild table is similarly prepared for each of a plurality of mutually different timings. By changing the reference time while using the common grandchild table W3, while reducing the amount of data used for lamp control, the time for lighting the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the background of the SP reach can be changed. good too.

(Provocation 20)
Child table WD2 used in the first half of SP Reach A boost part, Child table WD5 used in SP first half Reach B boost part, Child table WD9 used in SP second half Reach A boost part, SP second half Reach B boost part In both the child table WD12 used and the child table WD15 used in the inflection part of the SP final reach, the common grandchild table W4 is used without preparing separate grandchild tables for each of a plurality of mutually different timings. By changing the reference time, it is possible to reduce the amount of data used for lamp control while varying the number of white flashes. As a result, it is possible to realize various effects (lamp expressions) using the frame lamp while reducing the data volume.

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

(Yes or No 13)
In the SP ready-to-win performance in which no operation prompting to prompt the player's operation is performed at the success/fail branch, the effect is presented to the player as if the performance had stopped by keeping the sound muted and the frame lamps lit in white. This allows the player to easily understand the success/fail branch (decision timing). On the other hand, in the SP ready-to-win performance in which operation promotion is performed to prompt the player to operate at the success/fail branch, the sound corresponding to the operation promotion and the sound (BGM) corresponding to the ready-to-win are output, and further, the operation promotion is performed. By switching the grandchild table a plurality of times to control the frame lamps so as to correspond to , the timing of deciding whether to win or not can be favorably produced by the lighting modes of the frame lamps. In this way, the decision timing of the success/failure branching can be favorably produced by different sound control and lamp control depending on whether the operation prompting is performed or not at the success/failure branching.

(Yes or No 15)
In the child table WD9 in reach A in the second half of the SP, there is no operation prompt, and after the frame lamp blinks in white based on the grandchild table W7, the frame lamp lights up in white based on the grandchild table W8. Specifically, in the success/failure branching in the inflection part of the reach A in the second half of the SP where no operation promotion is performed, the last luminance data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W7, "FDC" (white lighting), is used. In addition, since the luminance data (RGB data) of the grandchild table W8 is designed, it is possible to clearly inform the player of the winning/failing branch (decision timing) without excessively increasing the data capacity used for lamp control. can.

(Right or wrong 17)
In the child table WD15 in the SP final reach, as shown in FIG. 131 (r49) to FIG. is switched one after another such as white flashing, red lighting, red flashing, etc., so that the effect of prompting the player to operate at the winning/failing branch (decision timing) can be enhanced.

(Yes or No 20)
In the child table WD4 of SP first half reach A, the child table WD7 of SP first half reach B, the child table WD11 of SP second half reach A, and the child table WD14 of SP second half reach B, similarly to the SP final reach child table WD17, Based on the grandchild table W14, the frame lamp is lit in the lighting mode at the time of losing. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the frame lamp based on the grandchild table W14 for 5800 msec in the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B, while in the SP final reach it takes 3900 msec. Meanwhile, the frame lamp is lamp-controlled based on the grandchild table W14. In this way, while the grandchild table used for lamp control at the time of losing is common among different reaches, the time for lamp control can be varied by referring to the grandchild table. Thus, in the child table used for each of a plurality of different reaches, the reference time can be changed while using a common grandchild table W4 without preparing a grandchild table dedicated to failure in each of a plurality of different reaches. Thus, while reducing the amount of data used for lamp control, it is possible to vary the time for which the frame lamp is lit in the lighting mode corresponding to the failure. As a result, it is possible to inform the player of the loss in a suitable manner in each of the plurality of reach.

(Yes or No 21)
From the lighting mode of the frame lamp based on the grandchild table W26 lastly specified in each of the child tables WD4, WD7, WD11, WD14, and WD17 used at the time of failure, the grandchild first specified in the child table WD18 used for each relief By switching to the lighting mode of the frame lamp based on the table W16, the frame lamp lights in the same color (yellow) and brighter. As a result, at the time of the relief hit, the frame lamp lights in the same color (yellow) as the state after the loss notification and brighter than the state after the loss notification, so that the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 can be used to notify the loss and It is possible to show the subsequent relief winning notification in an easy-to-understand manner for the player.

(Epilogue 9)
When the character object rises, the effect control CPU 120 gradually raises the character object lamp 9A based on the child table corresponding to the movement of the character object on the character object lamp 9A and the grandchild table specified by the child table. The brightness of the role lamp 9A is lowered stepwise so as to turn off the lamp immediately. As a result, the lighting mode of the role lamp 9A does not make the player conscious of the rise of the role, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp indicates that the player has developed into the second half reach A of the SP. It is possible to draw the player's attention.

(Epilogue 26)
In the winning epilogue part, by sharing the grandchild table used when announcing a win and the grandchild table used when displaying a winning pattern, rainbow color While reducing the data capacity used for lamp control for lighting with , each performance can be livened up by a performance with a sense of unity. As a result, while reducing the amount of data, it is possible to make the performance in the winning epilogue part more visible to the player by using the frame lamp.

(Epilogue 27)
In the child tables WD21 and WD22 of the re-lottery part, a grandchild table W1 is used in common with the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13 and WD16 of the winning epilogue part as ramp control when the symbols are finally determined after the re-lottery. is used. As a result, there is no need to prepare a separate grandchild table for lighting the rainbow colors for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, reducing the amount of data used for lamp control while maintaining a sense of unity even in different parts (timings). A certain performance can be shown to the player. As a result, while reducing the data volume, the effects in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part can be shown better to the player.

(Re-lottery production 2)
As shown in FIG. 142 (tA6), in the winning epilogue part, when the winning pattern is temporarily stopped while the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, before executing the re-lottery effect, the frame lamp is once turned off. Since the frame lamp is lit in a lighting mode corresponding to the re-lottery performance after it is turned off, the player can be easily informed of the start of the re-lottery performance by the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

(Re-lottery effect 7, re-lottery effect 14, re-lottery effect 16)
In the winning epilogue part, when the winning pattern is temporarily stopped, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the re-lottery effect is executed after turning off, and when the pattern is swaying, the re-lottery effect is performed. (eg, RGB data in the grandchild table W25), the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color. This prevents the player from misunderstanding that the temporarily stopped winning pattern in the winning epilogue part has been determined due to the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Furthermore, the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbols "3" and "2" are displayed in a swinging manner is carried over during the period in which the symbols are fixed. In this way, during the design confirmation period, which is performed in a short period of time, it is designed so that the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare part is performed as it is without preparing a luminance data table for special lamp control. Do not add extra capacity.

(Re-lottery production 19)
In the child table WD21 of the re-lottery part, the grandchild table W1 is used in common with the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, and WD16 of the winning epilogue part for ramp control when the symbols are finally determined after the re-lottery. be done. As a result, there is no need to prepare a separate grandchild table for lighting the rainbow colors for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, reducing the amount of data used for lamp control while maintaining a sense of unity even in different parts (timings). A certain performance can be shown to the player. As a result, while reducing the data volume, the effects in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part can be shown better to the player.

(Re-lottery production 20)
In the child table WD20 of the re-lottery part, frame lamps are lit in the same rainbow color as the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, and WD16 of the winning epilogue part as lamp control when the pattern is finally determined after the re-lottery. However, when the symbol "2" is promoted to the symbol "3" by a re-lottery, the lighting of the rainbow color at the time tB7 to tB9 is temporarily suspended in the symbol "2" in the winning epilogue part. The lighting mode is more intense than the smooth rainbow-colored lighting in the case. As a result, the player can effectively congratulate the promotion of winning symbols in the re-lottery by the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

<Detailed description of lamp control>
Next, with regard to the above-described lamp control, features that should be particularly mentioned will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 261 to 263. FIG.

[Comparison of lamp control between winning and losing]
261 to 263 are diagrams for explaining the comparison of the lamps at the time of winning and at the time of losing.

First, with reference to FIG. 261, ramp control at the time of failure will be described. As shown in FIG. 261, ramp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 at the end of the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B. In the grandchild table W8, "FDC" is specified at 100000 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W8, thereby lighting the frame lamp in white in correspondence with the effect of the success/failure branch (decision timing). Also, at the end of the fanning part in the SP final reach, ramp control is performed based on the grandchild table W10. In the grandchild table W10, "500" or "D00" is designated as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp.The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W10. By doing so, the frame lamp is flashed in red in correspondence with the performance of the success/failure branch (decision timing).

After that, in the losing epilogue part via the inflection part in each of SP first half reach A, B, SP second half reach A, B, and SP final reach, first, ramp control is performed based on grandchild table W13. . In the grandchild table W13, "888" is specified for the first 10 msec and "444" is specified for the next 190 msec as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W13, and after the winning/failing branch, illuminates the frame lamp in white in correspondence with the effect that the teammate character is defeated in the ready-to-win effect.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W13, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W14. In the grandchild table W14, "444" or "111" is specified at intervals of 250 msec as RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W14, so that the frame lamp is lit in a darker white color than the white light based on the grandchild table W13, corresponding to the effect that the ally characters are disappointed. Let

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W14, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W15. In the grandchild table W15, as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, "444" is specified in the first 10 msec, "111" is specified in the next 550 msec, and the last 600000 msec (10 minutes). ) specifies “111”. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W15 to turn off the frame lamp in response to the effect that the screen is darkened when a failure is notified.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W15, as described with reference to FIG. Lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W26 that was also used in . In the grandchild table W26, data corresponding to a yellow pattern corresponding to the normal background is designated as RGB data to be output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W26 to light the frame lamp in yellow corresponding to the normal background (background yellow lighting pattern), similarly to the start part before reach.

Next, with reference to FIG. 262, the ramp control at the time of winning will be described in the case of transitioning to the winning epilogue part via the swing parts in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP latter half reach A and B.

As shown in FIG. 262, the ramp control is performed based on the grandchild table W8 at the end of the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A and B and the SP second half reach A and B. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W8, thereby lighting the frame lamp in white in correspondence with the effect of the success/failure branch (decision timing).

After that, in the winning epilogue part via the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A, B and SP second half reach A, B, first, ramp control is performed based on the grandchild table W19. In the grandchild table W19, "FFF" is specified for the first 40 msec and "333" is specified for the next 30 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W19 to make the frame lamp blink in white in correspondence with the effect that the teammate character wins.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W19, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1. In the grandchild table W1, various brightness data corresponding to seven colors (rainbow colors) are sparsely specified at intervals of 30 msec as RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W1, thereby smoothly lighting the frame lamp in a rainbow color corresponding to the determination of winning.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21. In the grandchild table W21, as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, "AAA" is specified for each lamp in turn at intervals of 20 msec, and finally for each lamp at 600000 msec (10 minutes). "000" is specified. A performance control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W21 to correspond to the performance of giving a winning pattern, and lights the frame lamp in bright white corresponding to the appearance of the pattern.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21, the lamp control is performed again based on the grandchild table W1. A performance control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on a grandchild table W1 to smoothly light a frame lamp in rainbow colors in correspondence with performance such that a winning pattern is finally displayed in the center of the screen.

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

As shown in FIG. 263, ramp control is performed based on the grandchild table W10 at the end of the fanning part in the SP final reach. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W10 to make the frame lamp blink in red in correspondence with the effect of the win/fail branch (decision timing).

After that, in the winning epilogue part via the fanning part in the SP final reach, first, ramp control is performed based on the grandchild table W20. In the grandchild table W20, as the RGB data output to each lamp included in the frame lamp, various luminance data corresponding to seven colors (rainbow colors) are sparsely specified in the first 40 msec, and " 333” is specified, and such RGB data is repeatedly specified. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W20 to make the frame lamp blink in seven colors in correspondence with the effect that the accessory falls.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W20, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1. The effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W1, thereby smoothly lighting the frame lamp in a rainbow color corresponding to the determination of winning.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W1, the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21. A performance control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the grandchild table W21 to correspond to the performance of giving a winning pattern, and lights the frame lamp in bright white corresponding to the appearance of the pattern.

After the lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table W21, the lamp control is performed again based on the grandchild table W1. A performance control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on a grandchild table W1 to smoothly light a frame lamp in rainbow colors in correspondence with performance such that a winning pattern is finally displayed in the center of the screen.

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

(Yes or No 19)
As shown in FIG. 261, in the case of moving to the missing epilogue part via the fanning part in each of the SP first half reach A, B and SP latter half reach A, B, the final luminance data (RGB data) in the fanning part is In contrast to "FDC", the first luminance data (RGB data) in the missing epilogue part are "888" and "444". As a result, when losing in each of SP first half reach A, B and SP second half reach A, B, it is possible to light the frame lamp in white more darkly while maintaining the same color using white lighting in the success/fail branch. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately inform the player that the game has been lost. Also, when transitioning to the missing epilogue part via the fanning part in the SP final reach, the final brightness data (RGB data) in the fanning part contains "D00", whereas the first brightness in the missing epilogue part Data (RGB data) is "888" or "444". As a result, when the SP final reach is lost, the frame lamp can be lit in white, which is darker than the red blinking in the success/fail branch, so that the player can be suitably notified of the loss.

(Accessory action 1)
As shown in FIGS. 262 and 263, in the winning epilogue part, the frame lamps are smoothly illuminated in rainbow colors based on the grandchild table W1, and the RGB data thereof are switched at intervals of 30 msec. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 261, at the time of losing, the frame lamp is dimly lit in white based on the grandchild table W14, and the RGB data is switched at intervals of 250 msec, which is longer than at the time of winning. Thus, when winning, the lighting color of the frame lamp is switched at shorter intervals than when losing, so that the lighting mode of the frame lamp can inform the player in an easy-to-understand manner that the win is achieved. Furthermore, while the lighting by the frame lamp is emphasized more at the time of winning than at the time of losing, the lighting by the frame lamp can be made more calm at the time of losing, and as a result, the winning and losing are contrasted by the lamp. This can be communicated to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Accessory action 2)
As shown in FIG. 263, in the SP final reach hit epilogue part, the frame lamp is lamp-controlled based on the grandchild table W20 in the effect that the character is falling, and the rainbow chromatic color and achromatic color (" 333” RGB data) are alternately lit. As a result, by interposing the achromatic colors between the chromatic colors of the rainbow, it is possible to emphasize the fact that the player has won a big hit and to congratulate the player. After that, in the effect that the ally character wins, the frame lamp is lamp-controlled based on the grandchild table W21, and the frame lamp lights up in a smooth rainbow color without achromatic colors to indicate that a big hit has been achieved. It is possible to execute an effect that congratulates the player in a calm manner. As a result, the effect in the epilogue part of the SP final reach can be favorably shown to the player.

(Regarding the shaking pattern of the design)
Here, with reference to FIG. 264, a detailed description will be given of how the pattern swings. FIG. 264 is a diagram for explaining how the pattern swings. During the pattern fluctuation period in the fanning part and the re-lottery part described above, the decorative patterns move like the first to third modes shown in FIG. It moves like 3 modes. Specifically, the first mode shown in FIG. 264(a) is a mode in which the decoration pattern is positioned at the center position of the screen. The second mode shown in FIG. 264(a) is a mode in which the decorative design is positioned above the first mode. The third mode shown in FIG. 264(a) is a mode in which the decoration design is located on the lower side than the first mode.

In addition, the first mode shown in FIG. 264(b) is a mode in which the decoration pattern is positioned at the center position of the screen when viewed from the front. The second mode shown in FIG. 264(b) is a mode in which the decorative pattern is positioned to face left more than in the first mode by rotating rightward about the center of the decorative pattern as the vertical axis. The third mode shown in FIG. 264(b) is a mode in which the decorative pattern is positioned more rightward than in the first mode by rotating left about the center of the decorative pattern as the vertical axis.

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

After that, as shown in (D10), a button image and a time gauge are faintly displayed under the "7" symbol. After that, as shown in (D11), the button image and the time gauge are clearly displayed with the symbol "7" displayed. Then, as shown in (F12), the time gauge decreases with the lapse of time. The time gauge is a display showing the effective period of button operation. When the player operates the push button 31B from the state of (D12), as shown in (D13) to (D20), "7" fluctuates at high speed, and the light display and sharp display are repeated. After (D20), similar high-speed fluctuations are repeated.

As shown in FIG. 265(B), as shown in the timing chart of each re-lottery effect, the pattern feeding period when the re-lottery effect in which the symbols fluctuate at high speed by button operation is executed is the same in any re-lottery effect. be. Here, the re-lottery effect includes a first re-lottery effect that changes from even-numbered patterns to odd-numbered patterns, a second re-lottery effect that does not change from even-numbered patterns to even-numbered patterns, and a third re-lottery effect that does not change from 7 patterns to 7 patterns. There is a production. For example, in the first re-lottery effect, when the symbol feed effect is started immediately after the button can be operated, there is a period (t1) during which the decorative pattern sways after the symbol feed period ends, and then the pattern is determined. do.

In addition, in the second re-lottery effect, when the button is operated after t2 from the timing when the button can be operated and the pattern feed effect is started, there is a swing period (t1-t2) of the decorative pattern after the pattern feed period ends, The design is then finalized. In addition, in the third re-lottery performance, when the button is operated after t1 from the timing when the button can be operated and the pattern feed performance is started, there is no fluctuation period of the decorative pattern after the pattern feed period ends, and the pattern is fixed as it is. . In this way, no matter what timing the button is operated, the pattern feeding period is constant, and the period from the pattern shaking period to the finalization of the pattern absorbs the time until the button operation. . Such a relationship is the same when the button operation is executed in any of the first re-lottery effect to the third re-lottery effect.

[Regarding re-lottery effects 26-28]
Characteristic parts in the re-lottery part are numbered and explained.

(Modified example of re-lottery effect)
FIG. 266 is a diagram for explaining a modification of the re-lottery effect. As shown in (K1) to (K3) in FIG. 266, the decoration pattern behaves in the same way after the white-out even if the button is operated at any timing of the winning/failing scene. Specifically, as shown in (K1), when the button is operated immediately after the promotion display is displayed, the character movement and hit epilogue part are executed, and the epilogue part as shown in (K4) is executed. Designing is done. After that, after 5 seconds in the pattern shaking period, as shown in (K5), the three patterns are facing the front.

In addition, as shown in (K2), when the button is operated one second after the promotion display is displayed in the win/fail decision scene, the character movement and winning epilogue part are executed, and as shown in (K4) The pattern is drawn in the epilogue part. After that, after 4 seconds in the pattern shaking period, as shown in (K6), the three patterns are turned leftward from the front. In addition, as shown in (K3), when the button is operated 2 seconds after the promotion display is displayed in the win/fail decision scene, the character movement and winning epilogue part are executed, and as shown in (K4) The pattern is drawn in the epilogue part. After that, after 3 seconds in the pattern shaking period, as shown in (K7), the three patterns are turned to the right side from the front.

In this way, at the first operation timing, the symbol is in the front position after the symbol shaking period, at the second operation timing, after the symbol shaking period, the symbol is at the leftward position, and at the third operation timing, After the swinging period of the pattern, the pattern may be positioned to face the right side. However, even if the direction of the pattern changes during the swing period of the pattern depending on the operation timing, after that, as a common effect, as shown in (K8) to (K17), the pattern is rotated and reduced after the whiteout. A lottery production is executed. Then, after (K17), the symbol feed effect is executed. In addition, in FIG. 266, the odd-numbered symbols are used for the explanation, but the even-numbered symbols are also given the same effect.

(Re-lottery production 26)
As shown in FIG. 266, when the image showing the stick controller 31A and the time gauge are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, regardless of the timing of the operation, the re-lottery effect is executed thereafter. In the time until a predetermined timing is reached, a period of fluctuation of the symbols for absorbing the scale may be provided (period of fluctuation of the symbols from (K4)). Then, when the re-lottery effect is executed at a predetermined timing, a common effect accompanied by a whiteout as shown from (K8) to (K17) may be executed. According to this, even if the stick controller 31A is operated at any timing, the pattern is once displayed in a swinging manner, and then the common effect accompanied by the whiteout is executed, and then the re-lottery effect is executed. A sense of incompatibility can be prevented from occurring in the mode of movement of the pattern, and a series of presentations can be favorably shown.

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

(Re-lottery production 28)
The movement of the symbol after the whiteout screen may be an extension of the movement of the symbol before the whiteout screen. For example, if the movement of the pattern in front of the white-out screen is a movement that sways on the spot on the front side and the back side on the axis rotation centered on the vertical direction of the pattern, the movement after the white-out screen is It may be a motion of rotating clockwise around the vertical direction of the pattern while enlarging it. According to this, by displaying the whiteout between the extended movements of the same axis rotation, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the movement of the pattern from being uncomfortable, and the series of effects can be shown favorably. be able to.

(Re-lottery production 29)
Among the plurality of SP reach, there are those that are not informed of operation promotion such as button operation in the branch at the time of determining whether or not to be controlled in an advantageous state. With such SP reach, there is no scale deviation associated with the operation. However, even in such an SP ready-to-win game, a re-lottery effect similar to that for an SP ready-to-win game in which scale deviation occurs may be executed. According to this, even if there is only one re-lottery effect, it is possible to prevent discomfort from being caused by the common effect regardless of the presence or absence of scale deviation. In addition, the data capacity can be reduced by using one re-lottery effect.

(Re-lottery production 30)
As shown in FIG. 266, the timing is set so that the movement of the pattern after the white-out screen is an extension of the movement of the pattern before the white-out screen. For example, the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen is one of a series of movements in which the symbol moves from the right position (K3) via the front position (K5) to the left position (K6). is designed to be In other words, when the swing of the pattern is one of a series of actions in which the pattern rotates clockwise, a white-out is executed by a re-lottery effect, and then the pattern is enlarged and rotated clockwise. According to this, it is possible to prevent the movement of the symbols from giving a sense of incongruity by a series of movements of the symbols rotating to the right from the period of the fluctuation of the symbols to the re-lottery effect.

[Regarding re-lottery effects 21-25]
Characteristic parts in the re-lottery part are numbered and explained.

(Modified example of re-lottery effect)
FIG. 267 is a diagram for explaining a modification of the re-lottery effect. (L1) is a diagram in which the operation is performed at an early timing after the display of the action prompt is displayed during the symbol feeding period. (L2) is a diagram when the operation is performed at a timing later than (L1) after the action prompting display is displayed. (L3) is a diagram when the operation is performed at a later timing than (L2) after the action prompting display is displayed. Then, as shown in (L1) to (L3) in FIG. 267, during the symbol feeding period in the re-lottery effect, the symbols are drawn in the same way regardless of the timing of the button operation. After that, the whiteout is sandwiched between the decorative patterns, and then the decorative pattern stops after making the same movement. Specifically, as shown in (L1), when the button is operated immediately after the action prompting display is displayed, after the pattern output as shown in (L4) to (L5) is executed, the pattern is displayed. is the normal size. After that, as shown in (L6), the symbols start to sway, and after a predetermined period of time has passed, the three symbols turn to the right rather than the front as shown in (L7).

Also, as shown in (L2), when the button is operated at a timing later than (L1) after the action prompting display is displayed, the patterns shown in (L4) to (L5) are executed. After that, the pattern becomes the normal size. After that, as shown in (L6), the symbols begin to sway, and after the lapse of a shorter symbol sway period than in (L1), the three symbols are in a state in which the 3 symbols are directed more to the right than the front as shown in (L8). Become. Also, as shown in (L3), when the button is operated at a timing later than (L2) after the action prompting display is displayed, the patterns shown in (L4) to (L5) are executed. After that, the pattern becomes the normal size. After that, as shown in (L6), the swinging of the patterns is started, and after the lapse of a shorter pattern swinging period than in (L2), the three patterns as shown in (L9) face the front.

In this way, at the first operation timing, the symbol faces rightward after the symbol shaking period, and at the second operation timing, the symbol faces leftward after the symbol shaking period, and at the third operation timing. In this case, the pattern may be positioned facing the front after the swinging period of the pattern. However, even if the direction of the pattern changes during the swinging period of the pattern depending on the operation timing, as shown in (J1) to (J10), the pattern is rotated and reduced after the whiteout as a common effect. is executed. After that, as shown in (J11) to (J17), the symbols stop after a period of fluctuation of the symbols. In addition, in FIG. 267, the description is made using the odd-numbered symbols, but the same effects are executed even in the even-numbered symbols.

(Re-lottery production 21)
In the modification, as shown in (L1) to (L3) in FIG. 267, during the re-lottery effect symbol feed, an action promotion display using a button image and a time gauge is displayed. When the player operates the push button 31B during the period in which the action prompting display is displayed, the common symbol appearance effects shown in (L4) to (L6) are executed. Regardless of the timing at which the push button 31B is operated, a common design effect is executed by enlarging and reducing the design as shown in (L4) to (L5). After that, during the period of design fluctuation, the design is shaken. The swinging period of the pattern differs depending on the operation timing of the button. Therefore, after the swinging period of the symbol, for example, at the first operation timing, the symbol faces right, at the second operation timing, the symbol faces left, and at the third operation timing. , The pattern may be in a position facing the front. However, at any operation timing, a white-out effect is interposed as a common effect from (J1) to (J18) thereafter, and the effect of swinging the pattern after rotating and reducing the pattern is executed. According to this, the pattern can be neatly stopped by performing a common performance regardless of when the push button 31B is operated at any timing, and a series of performances can be shown favorably.

(Re-lottery production 22)
When the push button 31B is operated at the first timing during the operation valid period, after notification of whether or not to be promoted is executed, a display with a swinging decorative pattern is displayed (example of no operation in FIG. 267 (L3) ). When the push button 31B was operated at the second timing earlier than the first timing during the operation effective period, the display of the swinging decorative pattern was earlier than the first timing after the notification of whether or not to be promoted. (The operation in FIG. 267 (L2) is an example of the second timing). When the push button 31B was operated at the third timing earlier than the second timing during the valid period of operation, the display of the swinging decorative pattern was earlier than the second timing after the notification of whether or not to be promoted. (The operation in FIG. 267 (L1) is an example of the first timing). In this way, even if the push button 31B is operated at any timing, the length of the performance can be absorbed by the fluctuation time of the pattern. By performing a common performance after that, the pattern can be neatly stopped, and a series of performances can be favorably shown.

(Re-lottery production 23)
As shown in FIG. 267, as a common effect, after the white-out is executed, a different effect from the previous patterns is executed in which the swinging decorative pattern is rotated while being enlarged. According to this, regardless of the position of the pattern in the shaking of the pattern of the scale absorption, by executing a different mode of production after the whiteout is interposed, the flow of the production until the pattern is stopped. It can be made not to give a sense of incongruity.

(Re-lottery production 24)
As shown in FIG. 267, during the swinging period of the pattern, after the pattern swings to the back side from (J10) to (J12), the pattern swings to the front side from (J13) to (J14) to return to the initial position. Change. After that, after the pattern swings to the front side from (J15) to (J16), the pattern swings to the back side from (J17) to (J18) to change to the initial position. Such a series of movements may be repeated multiple times. However, during the period in which the pattern is fixed, it is designed so that the pattern is always positioned at the initial position in which the pattern faces the front as shown in (J18). According to this, the symbols can be determined and stopped in a manner that does not give the player a sense of discomfort.

(Re-lottery production 25)
It is designed so that the game effect lamp 9 lights up in rainbow colors at the white-out timing of (J1) in FIG. 267 . The timing of (J1) is an effect executed as a common effect regardless of the operation timing. By setting the location where such a common effect is executed as the starting point for changing the game effect lamp 9, the designer can easily determine the start timing. Note that the timing (J2) at which the common start display is started may be used as the start opportunity instead of the timing (J1).

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

(F2019-116)
A game machine (for example, a game machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to a player,
a movable body (for example, a character, a movable body 32);
a display means (for example, an image display device 5),
It is possible to execute a notification effect (for example, a notification effect to notify whether or not a big hit will be achieved) for informing whether or not the advantageous state is controlled,
The notification effect includes an introduction part (for example, a fanning part) until the success or failure of the control to the advantageous state is notified, and a success/failure notification part (for example, a winning epilogue part) in which the success or failure is notified. a winning/failure notification part that notifies a big hit by moving the role object), and an epilogue part (for example, a winning epilogue part) that is executed when it is determined that the control will be in the advantageous state after the winning/failure notification. consists of
In the introductory part, the dialogue sound emitted by the character is output, and the first character whose dialogue subtitle is displayed in response to the dialogue sound is an ally character (for example, the example shown in FIG. 115 (r2)),
The display means preferentially displays the introductory display of the prompting display prompting a specific action to the effect display in the introductory part at the timing of transition from the introductory part to the win/fail notification part, thereby making the effect display difficult to see. state, and then perform a promotion display in a state where the effect display is visible (for example, examples shown in FIGS. 131 (r49) to 132 (r54)),
In the success/failure notification part of the notification effect, which is executed when it is determined to be controlled to the advantageous state, the movable body moves from a first position (for example, a retracted position) to a second position on the front side of the display means. advance to a position (e.g., advance position) (e.g., the example shown in FIG. 133);
The display means is
displaying an effect for moving the movable body when the movable body advances to the second position, ending the effect display while the movable body is retreating from the second position to the first position; Display corresponding to the epilogue part (for example, examples shown in FIGS. 173 and 174),
In the epilogue part, the final dialogue subtitle is displayed for the final dialogue sound emitted by the character. Examples shown in FIGS. 134 to 136),
In the epilogue part, the ratio of displaying dialogue subtitles for the dialogue sounds emitted by the characters is higher than the ratio of displaying dialogue subtitles for the dialogue sounds emitted by the characters in the introductory part (for example, the example shown in FIG. 175). .

Specifically, in each SP reach as a fanning part, the first character to say a line is an ally character (for example, FIG. 115 (r2)). According to this, it is possible for the player to accurately recognize the teammate character at the start of the SP reach. In addition, at the timing of transition from the fanning part to the success/failure notification part, the introduction image of the trigger display prompting the trigger operation is preferentially displayed with respect to the display of the fanning part, so that the fanning part's effect display becomes invisible after that. The image of operating the trigger button and the effect in the fanning part can be visually recognized (for example, FIG. 131 (r48) to (r51)). According to this, the introductory image gives an impact, and the introductory image becomes the image of the trigger button, so that the effect of the fanning part can be confirmed, so that the player can be excited. In addition, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the display from being spoiled in the production flow of the background display of the hit epilogue part until the evacuation of the character is completed. In addition, since the pattern is displayed in an enlarged manner after the display of the final dialogue caption in the winning epilogue part, it is possible to prevent the subtitle display from overlapping the pattern and misunderstanding that it is a message for the pattern. In addition, the above-mentioned agitation part for inciting the right or wrong has a production that is updated by the development in which the friendly characters and the enemy characters alternately fight (for example, SP first half reach B, SP second half reach B, etc.). In the production of such a teasing part, there is a scene in which a friendly character takes damage. In addition, in the effect of such a rousing part, the image display switching interval is shorter than that of the epilogue part, and the number of image display switching is large. According to this, it is possible to suitably show the fanning part by making the fanning part develop faster than the epilogue part. Also, since the epilogue part, which develops slowly, is properly subtitled, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is saying and to emphasize the feeling of blessing. In addition, it is possible to convey the content of the fast moving part by changing the video first, and to prevent the development of the video from being disturbed by the auxiliary caption display. As a result, a series of presentations can be favorably shown.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, the rate of displaying subtitles for characters' lines in the epilogue part is higher than the rate of displaying subtitles for characters during the SP reach, which is the inciting part. ing. According to this, by clearly displaying the subtitles in the epilogue part, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is saying. Also, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to create a feeling of blessing. In addition, since there are more screen changes in the introductory part than in the epilogue part, even if subtitles are displayed, the display time will be shortened so that the display of auxiliary subtitles will not interfere with the production. , it is possible to give priority to conveying effects by switching images. Thereby, it is possible to execute a suitable effect in the fanning part.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 171 and 172, the effect is switched from the SP first half reach A effect to the SP second half reach A effect by the action of the character. Also, before the action of the role object, the "2" pattern is reduced and displayed at the left and right lower corners of the screen. When the role object moves, the role object falls so that the character "P" among the characters of the role object is positioned so that it overlaps with the place where the reduced decorative pattern "2" was displayed. do. In addition, an effect image corresponding to the action of dropping the character is displayed in a prioritized layer in front of the "2" symbol displayed in reduced size. Then, after the role object rises from the falling position and the “2” pattern does not overlap with the role object, the effect image gradually fades, and the background and “2” pattern corresponding to the second half of the SP reach A displayed faintly. According to this, it is possible to prevent the display from being not aesthetically pleasing due to the reduced decorative pattern being displayed during the action of the accessory. Also, the effect image corresponding to the action of the character object is displayed on the premise that the character object is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character object returns to the initial position, the display is not aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, by switching to the background display corresponding to the latter half of the SP before the accessory completes the movement of returning to the initial position, it is possible to prevent the aesthetic appearance of the display from being spoiled. In addition, since the reduced decorative pattern is displayed in the middle of the movement of the character, it is possible to suitably switch the effects according to the movement of the character.

In accordance with this video, BGM, physical sounds, onomatopoeia, sound effects, dialogue sounds, etc. are added one by one using special software. The finished image and sound are played, and the strength of the sound is added. In such a series of work processes, rather than outputting sound with reality while maintaining the actual sense of distance on the image, sound is output that ignores the actual sense of distance that is easily conveyed to the player by throwing away reality. Sound data is set as follows. As a result, a series of presentations can be shown favorably.

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

Specifically, when the physical sound of the character and the dialogue sound are output while being superimposed, the dialogue sound is adjusted and output so that it sounds louder than the physical sound. For example, when the physical sound and the speech sound are output together, as shown in FIG. 166(B), the SP reach BGM is adjusted to be smaller in accordance with the speech sound output period. By doing so, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the presentation while presenting reality.

[Provocation 15]
In the front view of the screen, when the output of the dialogue sound of the first character whose sense of distance is far and the output of the action sound of the second character whose sense of distance is close overlap, the volume of the dialogue sound is higher than the volume of the action sound. The volume is adjusted so that the

Specifically, when the dialog sound of a character whose sense of distance is far from the player overlaps with the physical sound of which the player has a close sense of distance, the sound is adjusted so that the dialog sound is louder than the physical sound. Data is set. As a result, a sound is output that discards reality and ignores the actual sense of distance that is easily conveyed to the player.

[Provocation 16]
In the case where the operation sound and dialogue sound output overlap and subtitle display is not performed, and the case where the operation sound and dialogue sound output overlap and subtitle display is performed, the volume of dialogue sound for which subtitle display is not performed The volume is adjusted so that the volume of the dialogue sound for subtitle display is louder than the volume.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 166(B) and 166(C), when there is a subtitle for the dialogue sound overlapping the physical sound and when there is no subtitle for the dialogue sound overlapping the physical sound, When subtitles are present, the SP reach BGM volume is adjusted so that it sounds louder. Dialogue sounds with subtitles are more relevant to SP reach content than dialogue sounds without subtitles. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the content of the performance by outputting loudly the dialogue sound with subtitles related to the content of the SP reach.

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

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 178(A), there is a scene in which subtitles are displayed in response to the character's lines in the teasing part. When subtitles are displayed, there is a period during which the display period of the first subtitle displayed first overlaps the display period of the second subtitle displayed next. A fade effect is applied when the first subtitle and the second subtitle are displayed so as to overlap each other. The fade effect causes the characters being displayed to change with different transparency. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, the change of the subtitles becomes easy to understand due to the fading effect, so that the switching of the subtitles can be made easy to understand.

[Provocation 22]
In the scene of agitation where multiple characters face each other,
When the dialogue sound of one character is output, the first subtitle corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed, and thereafter, when the dialogue sound of the other character is output, the second subtitle corresponding to the dialogue sound is displayed. is,
The second subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 50% so as to overlap the portion where the first subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 0%, and then the first subtitle is displayed when the second subtitle is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. ends.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 178(A), in a scene in which characters face each other, a first subtitle corresponding to the lines of one character is displayed, followed by a second subtitle corresponding to the lines of another character. subtitles may be displayed. In this case, the second caption is displayed with a transmittance of 70% so as to overlap the portion where the first caption is displayed with a transmittance of 0%. After that, the first caption fades out, and the second caption fades in, resulting in display with a transmittance of 0%. According to this, even when the subtitles are displayed so as to overlap each other, it is easy to understand the switching of the subtitles due to the fading effect.

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

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 179, the output timing of the dialogue sound corresponding to the second subtitle of “Found” is displayed so that the first subtitle and the second subtitle overlap each other, and a fade effect is applied. is not output during the period. Then, the dialogue sound corresponding to the second subtitle is output when the second subtitle is displayed with a transparency of 0%. According to this, it is easy to understand the switching of subtitles due to the fade effect, and since the dialog sound is output after the second subtitle is displayed, it is possible to easily grasp the contents of the presentation by sight and hearing.

[Provocation 24]
In the advantageous state, the music is output and the lyrics are displayed,
When the display of the first subtitle in the lyrics display is switched to the display of the second subtitle, the display of none of the subtitles is given a fade effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 178(B), during the jackpot round, an effect is performed in which the character sings along with the music. Subtitles (lyrics) are displayed as the song progresses. However, during the jackpot round, even if subtitles (lyrics) are displayed continuously, the fade effect is not applied. This is because when the music is playing, the progress of the music can be understood by the rhythm, so even if the subtitles (lyrics) are switched without adding a fade effect, the switching timing is easy to understand. Also, since the music during the jackpot round is representative music of the contents installed in the pachinko game machine 1, the lyrics to be displayed next are easy for the player to understand without adding a fade effect. According to this, it is possible to omit the operation of applying the fade effect during the big win round, and the series of performances can be shown well.

[Provocation 25]
In both the introductory part and the epilogue part, the character's dialogue sound may overlap,
The introductory part has a higher ratio of overlapping dialogue sounds than the epilogue part.

Specifically, although not shown, the subtitle display timing may overlap even in the epilogue part. However, as shown in FIG. 180, in the epilogue part, there are many scenes in which the period from caption display to caption display is longer than in the introductory part. This is because the provocation part progresses quickly, and the epilogue part progresses less quickly than the provocation part. As a result, the introductory part is displayed more frequently than the epilogue part at the timing when the subtitle display overlaps. In such a case, by effectively adding a fade effect to the caption display, it is possible to avoid giving a sense of discomfort when switching the caption.

[Provocation 26]
Even in a given scene where the display of subtitles does not overlap,
A fade effect is applied when the subtitle is displayed or when the display of the subtitle disappears.

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

[Provocation 27]
The display of the first subtitle without the fade effect and the display of the second subtitle may be interchanged.
Between the display of the first subtitle and the display of the second subtitle, it is conceivable to provide a blank period in which nothing is displayed, but if a long dialogue sound or a fast-paced dialogue sound is output, a sense of incongruity will appear. Therefore, the blank period is not provided.

Specifically, FIG. 181 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example of caption display. For example, as shown in Comparative Example 1 of FIG. 181(A), subtitles for similar lines such as "I found it" and "I found it" may be displayed continuously. In such a case, if the subtitle display is switched without adding any fade effect and without a blank period, it becomes difficult to understand the switching of the subtitle display. Also, regarding subtitle display for long lines and subtitle display for fast-progressing lines, there is a possibility that a sense of incongruity may occur if subtitles are switched without providing a blank period. In such a case, the sense of incompatibility can be eliminated by adding a fade effect to the caption display. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 2 in FIG. 181(B), it is conceivable to superimpose "Found" on the subtitle display of "Found" and then display "Found". In such a case, the caption display becomes difficult to see without the fade effect. Further, as shown in Comparative Example 3 of FIG. 181(C), it is conceivable to display the subtitle display of "I found it" and the subtitle display of "I found it" in two stages above and below. In such a case, the subtitle display reduces the display area for the effect, which hinders the effect in areas other than the subtitle display area. On the other hand, such a problem can be solved by adding a fade effect to the caption display as in the present embodiment.

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

Specifically, the cut-in effect and the luminance data of the lamp control in the button display for the cut-in effect (RGB data in the grandchild tables W4, W5, and W6) are the same as the lamp control in the fanning part of the SP final reach. Designed to work with station frame lamps. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lighting/blinking of unnecessary lamps from being mixed in, and to prevent the appearance from being spoiled, and to provide a suitable effect in the fanning part.

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

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 127 (r39) to FIG. 128 (r42), at the timing when the cut-in display is executed, the caption display is displayed before the prompt display of the button image is displayed. . According to this, since the button image can be continuously shown to the player who is watching the screen while paying attention to the subtitle display, the button image can be prevented from being overlooked, and the cut-in display can be suitably executed. can be done.

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

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 128 (r41) to FIG. 130 (r47), there is no dialogue for a predetermined period after the cut-in display ends. Then, after a predetermined period of time without words has passed, the words are spoken, and subtitles are displayed for the said words. According to this, the player can concentrate on the effect during the period after the cut-in display, and a suitable cut-in display can be performed.

[Yes or No 1]
In the success/failure notification part,
The player is notified of whether the control is to be in an advantageous state or not,
A prompting display prompting the player to perform a specific action is performed,

The movable body moves after the promotion display is performed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 132 (r54) described above, the success/failure determination scene was between the introductory part and the epilogue part. Then, in the scene of winning/failing determination, the player is informed of whether or not the game is a big hit by operating the trigger as the operating means. In addition, in the scene of winning/failing determination, the accessory was moved after the trigger operation in the case of a big hit. According to this, the attraction of the presentation is improved by making it a suitable scene for deciding whether to use the operating means.

[Yes or No 2]

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 130 (r47) to FIG. 132 (r54), before the image corresponding to the operation means is displayed, subtitles are displayed by the teammate character, and then the characters corresponding to the operation means are displayed. Due to the screen, the effect that was being executed cannot be seen. Then, the effect executed after that becomes recognizable again together with the image of the operating means. According to this, it is possible to give an impact by displaying the introduction of the operation means on the entire screen, and to display the performance that has been firmly executed at the timing when the operation means can be operated, so that the progress of the performance can be favorably shown. .

[Yes or No 3]
The expanded display is behind the introductory display.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 130 (r48) to FIG. 131 (r51), introduction images (images (r49) to (r50)) for enabling operation of the operating means are displayed. A performance is in progress during the performance. According to this, by advancing the effect behind the scenes, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the image (the image of (r51)) in which the operation means can be operated, and also to make the player pay attention to the development of the effect.

[Yes or No 4]
The expanded display is performed while the prompt display is being performed.

Specifically, in the above-described FIGS. 132 (r51) to 132 (r54), when the trigger image as the promotion display is displayed, the tail slightly moves each time the image changes in the Bakuchu image. was In this way, the effect may proceed while the promotion display is being displayed. Here, the progress of the presentation may include a scene change or a character action instead of just moving the tail. According to this, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the development of the presentation during the promotion display.

[Yes or No 5]
Expanded display progresses slower than before the prompt display when performed while the prompt display is performed.

Specifically, the effect that progresses while the promotion display is displayed progresses slower than the effect that was executed before the promotion display was displayed. According to this, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the prompting display for operating the operation means, and to balance the prompting display and the progress of the effect. It should be noted that the effect that progresses while the promotion display is being displayed may be slower than the effect that progresses while the introductory image is being displayed. According to this, it is possible to make a difference in the progress speed of the presentation during display of the promotion display and during display of the introductory image.

[Yes or No 6]
An echo is applied to the dialogue sound before the introductory display.

Specifically, it is preferable to echo the lines before the introductory image is displayed as shown in FIG. 130 (r47). According to this, the player can be excited before the introductory image is displayed.

[Yes or No 7]
After ending the output of the dialogue sound that was displayed while the expansion display was performed before the promotion display was performed, the introduction display is performed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 130 (r47) to FIG. 131 (r49), the introductory image is displayed after the subtitle display before the introductory image is displayed is deleted. According to this, it is possible to prevent the display timings of the introductory image and the caption display from overlapping.

The introductory part consists of a predetermined period and a slow motion period after the predetermined period and before the success or failure notification,
In a predetermined period, a plurality of image data are used to describe the movement of the character,
During the slow motion period, one piece of image data is rendered with effects to depict the movement of the character.

Specifically, the scene before the determination of whether (r48) in the fanning part is a slow motion period in which the movement of the video is slowed down. In addition, the effect executed before (r48) depicts the movement of the character from a plurality of image data, while the effect executed at (r48) is the image of Bakuchu and the six allies. image. The image of the ally character and the image of the enemy character are gradually enlarged and displayed with the passage of time to make it appear as if the characters are moving. Here, if an image is created using the same amount of image data during the slow motion period as during the periods other than the slow motion period, the amount of data is small and the movement becomes awkward. On the other hand, if a large amount of data is used to smooth the movement during the slow motion period, the capacity becomes too large. Therefore, the amount of data can be reduced by reducing the number of images used in the slow motion period and by switching and enlarging the display to make it look as if the character is moving. Note that the number of images used during the slow motion period may be any number as long as the number of images is smaller than during the other periods.

[Yes or No 9]
There is a production that includes an introductory part in which allied characters and enemy characters appear, and a final part after the introductory part.
In the introductory part, there is a predetermined period in which the scene where allies are displayed and the scene where enemies are displayed alternately.
It is possible to shift to the final part by performing the action of the player while the promotion display is being performed during the predetermined period,
In a predetermined period, the speed at which the scenes in which the allies are displayed and the scenes in which the enemies are displayed alternately increase gradually, and after the speed reaches the maximum, the promotion display is performed,
As for the depiction in which the scene in which the ally is displayed and the scene in which the enemy is displayed alternately, each of the enemy and the ally is reproduced with one image data.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 191(B), the image switching speed between the image of the friend character and the image of the enemy character gradually increases. According to this, after the image switching speed becomes the fastest, the promotion display prompting the trigger operation is displayed. It becomes possible to incite the development of the game, and the interest is improved. In addition, by alternately switching the images, it is possible to make it difficult to notice that one image is used for each of the friend character and the enemy character.

[Yes or No 10]
The predetermined period in which the scene in which the ally is displayed and the scene in which the enemy is displayed are alternately applied is also applied to the scene in which the ready-to-win performance develops from one ready-to-win performance to another ready-to-win performance.

Specifically, the effect of the slow motion period in (r48) may be executed at the timing of development from SP first half reach to SP last reach. According to this, it is possible to suitably execute the effect even at the timing of developing from the SP first half reach.

[Right or wrong 11]
The enemy character is depicted using a plurality of image data in order to change a portion of the enemy character, but the image data of the enemy character itself is used to change only the portion.

Specifically, during the slow motion period in (r48), at least one of the friend character and the enemy character may be configured using two or more images. For example, in the case of an ally character, four images such as image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 1, . good. According to this, by changing only part of the data while using the data of the character itself, it is possible to more faithfully represent the state of movement while reducing the amount of data change work.

[Yes or No 12]
A portion of the character changes during the slow motion period.

Specifically, in the slow motion period of (r48), when the character's hair and clothes are shown to move gradually from a plurality of images, the movement of the hair and clothes is approximately the same as during periods other than the slow motion period. It may be designed to appear to move at speed. Here, if the number of images is increased in accordance with the motion of the slow motion in order to make the motion look smooth during the slow motion period, the capacity becomes large. However, by speeding up the movement during the slow motion period, even if the number of images used is reduced, the movement does not become awkward, and while reducing the data capacity, it is possible to express the movement more faithfully. can.

During the period before transitioning from the introductory part to the success/failure notification part in the first notification effect,
The display means performs a promotion display for prompting the player to perform a specific action,
The sound output means continues sound output,
The light emission control means controls the light emission means using the luminance data table for the first notification effect,
During the period before the transition from the introductory part to the success/failure notification part in the second notification effect,
The display means does not display a prompt to prompt a specific action, but displays a propriety display,
The sound output means does not output sound,
The light emission control means controls the light emission means using the luminance data table for the second notification effect,
The luminance data table for the first notification effect is configured so that the luminance data is switched,
The brightness data table for the second notification effect is configured so that the brightness data is not switched.

The luminance data table corresponding to the epilogue part is configured such that luminance data representing a plurality of chromatic colors including luminance data representing a first chromatic color and luminance data representing a second chromatic color are used in sequence.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 263, in the SP final reach hit epilogue part, the frame lamp is lamp-controlled based on the grandchild table W20, and the rainbow chromatic color is used in the effect that the character is falling. , and achromatic colors (RGB data of “333”) alternately. As a result, by interposing the achromatic colors between the chromatic colors of the rainbow, it is possible to emphasize the fact that the player has won a big hit and to congratulate the player. After that, in the effect that the ally character wins, the frame lamp is lamp-controlled based on the grandchild table W21, and the frame lamp lights up in a smooth rainbow color without achromatic colors to indicate that a big hit has been achieved. It is possible to execute an effect that congratulates the player in a calm manner. As a result, the effect in the epilogue part of the SP final reach can be favorably shown to the player.

[Epilogue 1]
The epilogue part is a celebration part after the decision to control to an advantageous state is announced, there is a scene where the enemy character is killed, there is no scene where the friendly character takes damage, and the number of display changes is the introduction part. less parts than

Specifically, the hit epilogue part described above is a part that does not transition when the game is lost, and is a part that has a scene in which the enemy character is at a disadvantage and a scene in which the ally character is at an advantage. Also, in the hit epilogue part, the number of image display switches in the production is smaller than in the fanning part. According to this, an appropriate effect can be executed in each part, and the flow of a series of effects can be favorably shown.

[Epilogue 2]
In the epilogue part, the ratio of dialogue subtitles displayed with respect to the characters' dialogues is higher than the ratio of the dialogue subtitles displayed with respect to the characters' dialogues in the introductory part.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, the ratio of displaying subtitles for characters' lines in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for characters during SP reach, which is the inciting part. ing. According to this, by clearly displaying the subtitles in the epilogue part, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is saying. Also, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to create a feeling of blessing. In addition, since there are more screen changes in the introductory part than in the epilogue part, even if subtitles are displayed, the display time will be shortened so that the display of auxiliary subtitles will not interfere with the production. , it is possible to give priority to conveying effects by switching images. Thereby, it is possible to execute a suitable effect in the fanning part.

[Epilogue 3]
Dialogue subtitles are always displayed in the epilogue part.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, in the epilogue part, subtitles are always displayed for dialogue. According to this, it is possible to emphasize the feeling of blessing by clearly showing what the character is saying in the hit epilogue part.

[Epilogue 4]
In the introductory part, if dialogue sound is output in the scene where the enemy character takes damage, dialogue subtitles will not be displayed,
In the epilogue part, dialogue subtitles are displayed when a dialogue sound is output in a scene in which an enemy character takes damage.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 104 (n10) described above, subtitles are not displayed for the dialogue of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character receives damage in the teasing part. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 110(o1), subtitles are added to the dialogue of the enemy character in the scene where the enemy character receives damage (scene of catching crabs) in the winning epilogue part. According to this, in the hit epilogue part, the subtitle display that was not displayed in the inciting part is displayed, so that the feeling of blessing can be emphasized.

[Epilogue 5]
There are a first introductory part and a second introductory part, each with a different development and a different number of dialogues. It is higher than the ratio at which dialog subtitles are displayed relative to the character's dialog sound output.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 175, there are a plurality of types of SP reach, which is a fanning part. However, in any SP reach, the ratio of displaying subtitles for characters' lines in the epilogue part is higher than the ratio of displaying subtitles for characters during SP reach. According to this, it is possible to make it easy to understand what the character is saying by clearly displaying the subtitles in the epilogue part regardless of which SP reach is executed. Also, in the hit epilogue part, subtitles can be used to create a feeling of blessing. In addition, since there are more screen changes in the fanning part than in the epilogue part, it is possible to convey the effect by switching images first, so that the effect is not disturbed by the auxiliary subtitle display. . Thereby, it is possible to execute a suitable effect in the fanning part.

[Epilogue 6]
The dialog subtitles that are finally displayed in the epilogue part are displayed longer than the dialog subtitles of the same number of characters that are displayed in other scenes.

Specifically, as shown in Figs. 134 (s5) to (s6) described above, the subtitle display displayed in the winning epilogue part is designed to be displayed for a longer period than the subtitle display displayed in the introductory part. ing. According to this, by displaying the subtitle display in the final winning epilogue part for a long period of time, the player can be immersed in the afterglow of the big win and the feeling of blessing can be emphasized. It should be noted that, when the caption display is displayed, the caption with the larger number of characters may be displayed longer than the caption with the smaller number of characters. Even in such a case, if the same number of subtitles (for example, 5 characters) are displayed in the winning epilogue part and the introductory part, the period during which the subtitles are displayed is longer in the winning epilogue part. should be designed as

[Epilogue 7]
When the movable body is positioned at the advanced position, the background display for the movable body is performed,
The movable body moves according to a retraction pattern in which the movable body retracts, and the background display for the movable body is switched to an epilogue display by the time the retraction pattern ends.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 173 and 174, an effect image corresponding to the motion of the character object is displayed according to the motion of the character object falling. After that, the accessory moves to the initial position according to a predetermined evacuation pattern. While the character is rising, the display is gradually switched from the effect image corresponding to the movement of the character to the screen corresponding to the epilogue part of the SP final reach. Here, the effect image corresponding to the action of the character object is displayed on the premise that the character object is superimposed on the screen. However, if the effect image is displayed until the character object returns to the initial position, the display is not aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, by switching to the background display corresponding to the SP first half reach before the accessory completes the movement to return to the initial position, it is possible to prevent spoiling the aesthetic appearance of the display.

[Epilogue 8]
The deformed member retracts and returns,
The timing of switching to the epilogue display is interlocked with the timing of starting the return operation.

Specifically, on the premise that the accessory returns to its initial position, the timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue is the timing during the rise related to the timing of the start of the returning motion. According to this, since the display is switched to the display corresponding to the epilogue at the timing related to the start of the return motion, the display of the effect image corresponding to the character product motion ends before the character product returns to the initial position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect image from being displayed when the accessory returns to the initial position, and the aesthetic appearance of the production is not spoiled. The timing of switching to the display corresponding to the epilogue may be the same timing as the timing when the accessory starts rising. Also, the accessory may perform a rotating motion or a moving motion at the drop position.

[Epilogue 9]
During the return operation, the light-emitting means of the movable body fades out and approaches turning off.

Specifically, when the role product rises, the effect control CPU 120 determines the role based on the child table corresponding to the action of the role product rising on the role product lamp 9A and the grandchild table specified by the child table. The brightness of the character object lamp 9A is reduced step by step so as to gradually turn off the object lamp 9A. As a result, the lighting mode of the role lamp 9A does not make the player conscious of the rise of the role, while the lighting mode of the frame lamp indicates that the player has developed into the second half reach A of the SP. It is possible to draw the player's attention.

[Epilogue 10]
The BGM linked to the image corresponding to the epilogue suggests a switch,
BGM is output in conjunction with the start of the epilogue display.

Specifically, BGM corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the start of the display corresponding to the epilogue as the character object returns to its initial position. According to this, by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by the BGM, the epilogue part can be preferably started.

[Epilogue 11]
In conjunction with the start of the epilogue display, a sound effect suggesting a change is output.

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

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

Specifically, BGM and sound effects corresponding to the epilogue part may be output in conjunction with the start of display corresponding to the epilogue as the character returns to its initial position. According to this, by suggesting the start of the epilogue part by BGM and sound effects, the epilogue part can be preferably started.

[Epilogue 13]
In the epilogue display during the return movement of the movable body, the dialogue sound is not output,
In the epilogue display after the movable body is retracted, a dialog sound is output and a dialog caption corresponding to the dialog sound is displayed.

Specifically, when the role object returns to its initial position and the display corresponding to the epilogue is displayed, the dialogue sound is not output, and the dialogue sound is not output in the epilogue display after the character object returns to the initial position. Subtitles should be displayed while outputting. According to this, it is possible to prevent the subtitle from being displayed at a timing when the subtitle is difficult to see, and the epilogue part can be preferably executed.

[Epilogue 14]
A dialogue sound is output at the timing of the evacuation of the movable body,
At the timing when the movable body is completely retracted, a dialog sound is output, and a dialog caption corresponding to the dialog sound is displayed.

Specifically, at the timing when the character returns to the initial position, it is sufficient to output the dialogue sound and display the subtitles in the epilogue display. According to this, it is possible to make the dialogue clearly recognized, and the epilogue part can be suitably executed.

[Epilogue 15]
The display of the dialogue caption corresponding to the dialogue sound output at the end of the epilogue part ends at the start timing of the pattern output.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 134(s6) to 135(s8) described above, the final caption display for the final line in the winning epilogue part is erased before the design effect is executed. It is designed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the caption display from being covered with the decoration pattern and misunderstanding that it is a message in the effect of the pattern display. Therefore, it is possible to suitably show the effect in the winning epilogue part.

[Epilogue 17]
The moving image that was played during the epilogue becomes a still image at the timing when the symbol display is completed and the player recognizes the finally arranged symbols.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 136 (s10) described above, at the timing when the effect of designing is completed and the player can recognize the decorative design, the decorative design and the image such as the character displayed as the background are displayed. It is a still image. According to this, it is possible to prevent the decoration pattern from becoming difficult to see because the background of the decoration pattern is a moving image.

[Epilogue 18]
A moving image that is flowing before the start of designing is assumed to be a still image.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 135 (s7) described above, the image that was playing in the winning epilogue part becomes a still image at the timing before the symbol presentation effect is executed. According to this, it is possible to prevent the pattern from becoming difficult to see from the timing of the start of drawing out the pattern.

[Epilogue 19]
A special effect is added at the same time as the stillness.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 135(s7) described above, the still image displayed in the winning epilogue part has a special graphic style. According to this, by adding a special mode effect to the still image, it is possible to make a suitable epilogue part by emphasizing that the image is still and suggesting that the scene has changed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 176, in the re-lottery effect, the "2" symbol, which was temporarily stopped and displayed before the re-lottery, is enlarged, reduced, and swayed, and then the "2" symbol is displayed as it is. is used to start the re-lottery effect. When the re-extraction effect is started, the "2" pattern is reduced, and the variation of the re-lottery effect is started from the reduced "2" pattern. During the re-lottery performance, a symbol feed performance is executed in which the symbols are replaced by high-speed fluctuations from the "2" symbol. And, during the re-lottery effect, "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "1" and all the decorative patterns are sent in order, and then again "2" ” A symbol feed effect in which symbols are displayed is executed. In this way, the re-lottery performance is started by using the decoration patterns temporarily stopped and displayed, and the decoration patterns initially temporarily stopped and displayed are displayed again after a plurality of kinds of decoration patterns are varied. According to this, the flow of a series of presentations can be shown well by the design feeding presentation in which the final display result is not immediately displayed and all the decorative designs are shown. Also, in the winning epilogue part, when the winning pattern is temporarily stopped, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the re-lottery effect is executed after turning off, and when the pattern is shaking and displayed, Based on the luminance data corresponding to the lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild table W25), the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color. As a result, the player is not misunderstood that the temporarily stopped winning pattern in the winning epilogue part has been determined due to the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Furthermore, the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbols "3" and "2" are displayed in a swinging manner is carried over during the period in which the symbols are confirmed. In this way, during the design confirmation period, which is performed in a short period of time, it is designed so that the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare part is performed as it is without preparing a luminance data table for special lamp control. Do not add extra capacity.

[Re-lottery production 8]
The pattern feeding according to a predetermined pattern is carried out in order from the temporarily stopped pattern to the next pattern. It is a production that sends to
The predetermined pattern is a pattern in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and looping it.

Specifically, in the symbol forwarding effect in the re-lottery effect, all decorative patterns such as ``2'', ``3'', ``4'', ``5'', ``6'', ``7'', and ``1'' are sent in order. , again, "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "1" and all the decoration patterns are sent in order. In this way, since the numbers of the decoration patterns are sent in order, it is possible to clearly show the flow of the series of presentations.

[Re-lottery production 9]
While the pattern is being fed in a predetermined pattern, all the decorative patterns to be sent are once displayed with the same resolution as when the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped.

Specifically, in the symbol feed effect in the re-lottery effect, all the symbols are displayed with the degree of transparency of the symbols when temporarily stopped, and the degree of transparency is increased during fluctuation. Specifically, "2" pattern with 0% transparency, "2" pattern with 50% transparency, "3" pattern with 0% transparency, "3" pattern with 50% transparency, transparent Patterns are switched such as a "4" pattern with a degree of 0% and a "4" pattern with a transparency of 50%. According to this, all the patterns can be clearly displayed in a mode with low transparency during the pattern feed effect, so that it is possible to grasp what kind of pattern is being sent.

[Re-lottery production 10]
After the symbol feeding is started, the display times of the plurality of types of decorative symbols are the same until notification is given as to whether or not the player will be promoted.

Specifically, in the symbol forwarding effect in the re-lottery effect, all decorative patterns such as ``2'', ``3'', ``4'', ``5'', ``6'', ``7'', and ``1'' are sent in order. However, the time that each pattern is displayed is the same. According to this, all patterns can be displayed for a certain period of time, and the flow of a series of performances can be shown well.

[Re-lottery production 11]
The action promotion display is performed during pattern feeding,
The position where the action prompting display is performed is a position that does not overlap with the pattern being sent.

Specifically, during the symbol feed effect, a promotion display formed from a button image and a time gauge is displayed. The position where the promotion display is displayed is a position that does not overlap with the position where the variation of the decorative pattern during the pattern feeding effect is displayed. In this way, since the promotion display does not overlap with the decorative symbols during the symbol feeding effect, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the symbol feeding. It should be noted that a part of the promotion display may be partially overlapped with the decorative pattern during the pattern feed effect.

[Re-lottery production 12]
The action-promoting display is started during pattern feeding, and is started during the second loop of the predetermined pattern.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 176 and 177, the promotion display is displayed at (A24) and (A25) after repeating twice the variation of displaying all the decorative symbols during the symbol feed effect. be started. Since the promotion image is not displayed until the predetermined symbol feeding pattern is repeated twice in this manner, the player can be made to firmly recognize the symbol feeding effect.

[Re-lottery production 13]
When pattern feeding is started from the symbol "1", the timing at which the action promotion display is performed is, for example, the symbol "5",
When the symbol feed is started from the symbol "4", the timing at which the action promotion display is performed is, for example, the symbol "8".

Specifically, the symbol at the start of the re-lottery effect may be other than 2 symbols. Even in such a case, the timing at which the button image as the action prompting display is displayed is constant. For example, in the case of 2 symbols, the timing at which the action prompting display was displayed was the timing at which 2 symbols were displayed again. Similarly, in the case of 5 symbols, the timing at which the action prompting display is displayed may be the timing at which 5 symbols are displayed again. That is, the number of symbols to be sent is the same regardless of which symbol the re-lottery effect is started. According to this, since control can be made constant, the processing load can be reduced.

[Re-lottery production 14]
The effect execution means is capable of executing a notification effect for notifying whether or not the control is in an advantageous state,

In addition to this, a pattern may be provided in which odd numbered symbols (eg, 7 symbols) are displayed after displaying the odd numbered symbols (eg, 7 symbols). In the effect of sending patterns from odd-numbered patterns to odd-numbered patterns, all the same odd-numbered patterns should be sent at the time of pattern sending. However, regardless of the pattern, the length of the performance during the symbol feeding period in the re-lottery performance may be designed to be the same. According to this, a suitable re-lottery effect can be achieved in any pattern without increasing the data capacity. Also, in the winning epilogue part, when the winning pattern is temporarily stopped, after the frame lamp lights up smoothly in rainbow color, the re-lottery effect is executed after turning off, and when the pattern is shaking and displayed, Based on the luminance data corresponding to the lottery effect (for example, the RGB data in the grandchild table W25), the frame lamp blinks in red in a lighting mode different from the smooth rainbow color. As a result, the player is not misunderstood that the temporarily stopped winning pattern in the winning epilogue part has been determined due to the lighting mode of the frame lamp. Furthermore, the lighting of the rainbow color when the symbols "3" and "2" are displayed in a swinging manner is carried over during the period in which the symbols are confirmed. In this way, during the design confirmation period, which is performed in a short period of time, it is designed so that the lamp control corresponding to the fanfare part is performed as it is without preparing a luminance data table for special lamp control. Do not add extra capacity.

[Re-lottery production 15]
The re-lottery effect is displayed by combining display data other than decorative patterns and display data of various decorative patterns, reproducing each pattern of multiple types of re-lottery effects.
By using common display data in each re-lottery effect, the effect scale between each re-lottery effect becomes common, and only the type of pattern sent and the pattern issued in the pattern output are each re-lottery. It differs in the lottery production.

Specifically, in the lottery effect, a pattern of displaying an even numbered pattern (for example, 2 patterns) after displaying an even numbered pattern (for example, 2 patterns), and an odd numbered pattern (for example, 3 patterns) after displaying an even numbered pattern (for example, 2 patterns). and a pattern of displaying an odd numbered pattern (for example, 7 patterns) and then displaying an odd numbered pattern (for example, 7 patterns) use common data. In other words, the performance data is the same, and the design is such that the data relating to the decorative design is changed according to the pattern. According to this, since it is not necessary to provide a dedicated pattern, the amount of data can be reduced.

Then, a series of pattern presentation effects may be executed by combining common pattern presentation data and a plurality of decorative designs. According to this, it is possible to reduce the data volume while favorably displaying the design effect. It should be noted that substantially the same data may be used for the symbol appearance effect data in the winning epilogue part and the symbol appearance effect data in the re-lottery effect.

[Re-lottery production 19]
If you do not get promoted in the re-lottery production,
When the decoration pattern matching is temporarily stopped before execution of the re-lottery and when the notification that the decoration pattern matching is not promoted in the re-lottery is performed, the light emission mode in the pattern output is the same.

Specifically, in the child table WD21 of the re-lottery part, as a ramp control when the pattern is finally decided after the re-lottery, it is common to the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, and WD16 of the winning epilogue part. A grandchild table W1 is used. As a result, there is no need to prepare separate grandchild tables for lighting the rainbow color for the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part, and while reducing the amount of data used for lamp control, there is a sense of unity even in different parts (timings). A certain performance can be shown to the player. As a result, while reducing the data volume, the effects in the winning epilogue part and the re-lottery part can be shown better to the player.

[Re-lottery effect 20]
In the case of promotion in the re-lottery production,
When the decoration pattern matching is temporarily stopped before the re-lottery is executed, and when the promotion of the decoration pattern matching is notified by the re-lottery, the lighting mode in the pattern output is different,
The light emitting mode in the pattern output is more intense when the decorative pattern matching is notified to be promoted by the re-lottery than when the decorative pattern matching is temporarily stopped before the re-lottery is executed.

Specifically, in the child table WD20 of the re-lottery part, the same rainbow color as the child tables WD3, WD6, WD10, WD13, and WD16 of the winning epilogue part is used as lamp control when the pattern is finally determined after the re-lottery. The frame lamp lights up, but when the pattern of "2" is promoted by a re-lottery and replaced with the pattern of "3", the lighting of the rainbow color at time tB5 to tB9 is once in the epilogue part of "2". The lighting mode is more intense than the smooth rainbow lighting when the pattern is temporarily stopped. As a result, the player can effectively congratulate the promotion of winning symbols in the re-lottery by the lighting mode of the frame lamp.

After that, the first pattern is again displayed in a shaking display, and then, when the pattern fixing period comes, the first pattern is displayed in the first mode while maintaining the shaking speed of the shaking display of the first pattern. display stop,
The light emission control means is
In the epilogue part, controlling the light emitting means using the luminance data table for the rainbow light emission mode,
In the re-lottery part, the luminance data table for the rainbow light emitting mode is switched to the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery performance or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery performance, and corresponding to the first re-lottery performance. controlling the light emitting means using the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect or the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect,
At specific timing in the second half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery effect or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect is switched to the luminance data table for setting the rainbow light emission mode, and the rainbow light emission mode is set. controlling the light-emitting means using the brightness data table for the rainbow light-emitting mode, and controlling the light-emitting means using the brightness data table for the rainbow light-emitting mode even during the subsequent pattern determination period,
At the timing associated with the start of the fanfare performance, the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare performance, and the light emitting means is controlled using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare performance. .

Specifically, as shown in (L1) to (L3) in FIG. 267, an action promotion display using a button image and a time gauge is displayed during symbol feeding of the re-lottery effect. When the player operates the push button 31B during the period in which the action prompting display is displayed, the common symbol appearance effects shown in (L4) to (L6) are executed. Regardless of the timing at which the push button 31B is operated, a common design effect is executed by enlarging and reducing the design as shown in (L4) to (L5). After that, during the period of design fluctuation, the design is shaken. The swinging period of the pattern differs depending on the operation timing of the button. Therefore, after the swinging period of the symbol, for example, at the first operation timing, the symbol faces right, at the second operation timing, the symbol faces left, and at the third operation timing. , The pattern may be in a position facing the front. However, at any operation timing, a white-out effect is interposed as a common effect from (J1) to (J18) thereafter, and the effect of swinging the pattern after rotating and reducing the pattern is executed. According to this, the pattern can be neatly stopped by performing a common performance regardless of when the push button 31B is operated at any timing, and a series of performances can be shown favorably.

[Re-lottery effect 22]
When the action is performed at the first timing of the effective period of the operation, after notification of whether or not promotion is performed, the decorative pattern is displayed in a swaying manner until the predetermined timing of the change comes,
When the action is performed at the second timing, which is earlier than the first timing of the effective period of the action, the action is performed earlier than the first timing until the predetermined timing of the change after notification of whether or not promotion is performed. The decoration pattern is displayed swaying as much as it is early, and the scale is absorbed.

Specifically, when the push button 31B is operated at the first timing during the valid period of operation, after notification of whether or not to be promoted is executed, a display with a swinging decorative pattern is displayed (FIG. 267 (L3)). without operation). When the push button 31B was operated at the second timing earlier than the first timing during the operation effective period, the display of the swinging decorative pattern was earlier than the first timing after the notification of whether or not to be promoted. (The operation in FIG. 267 (L2) is an example of the second timing). When the push button 31B was operated at the third timing earlier than the second timing during the valid period of operation, the display of the swinging decorative pattern was earlier than the second timing after the notification of whether or not to be promoted. (The operation in FIG. 267 (L1) is an example of the first timing). In this way, even if the push button 31B is operated at any timing, the length of the performance can be absorbed by the fluctuation time of the pattern. By performing a common performance after that, the pattern can be neatly stopped, and a series of performances can be favorably shown.

[Re-lottery effect 23]
The predetermined effect is started after the flickering decorative pattern is rotated while being enlarged while blinking in white.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 267, after white-out is executed as a common effect, a different effect from the previous patterns is executed in which the swaying decorative pattern is rotated while being enlarged. According to this, regardless of the position of the pattern in the shaking of the pattern of the scale absorption, by executing a different mode of production after the whiteout is interposed, the flow of the production until the pattern is stopped. It can be made not to give a sense of incongruity.

[Re-lottery effect 24]
In the shaking display of the decorative pattern, the decorative pattern is displayed swaying around the first position as an axis,
The sway display has decorative patterns in the order of 1st position, 2nd position, 3rd position, 2nd position, 1st position, 4th position, 5th position, 4th position, 1st position, and 2nd position. A predetermined effect is designed so that when the fixed period comes, the decorative patterns are always displayed in the order of the second position, the first position, and so on.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 267, during the swing period of the pattern, the pattern swings to the back side from (J10) to (J12), and then swings to the front side from (J13) to (J14). to the initial position. After that, after the pattern swings to the front side from (J15) to (J16), the pattern swings to the back side from (J17) to (J18) to change to the initial position. Such a series of movements may be repeated multiple times. However, during the period in which the pattern is fixed, the pattern is designed to always be positioned at the initial position in which the pattern faces the front as shown in (J18). According to this, the symbols can be determined and stopped in a manner that does not give the player a sense of discomfort.

[Re-lottery effect 25]
The starting point for causing the light emitting means to emit rainbow light during the second part is to emit light in rainbow at the start of a predetermined effect.

Specifically, it is designed so that the game effect lamp 9 lights up in rainbow colors at the timing of the white-out of (J1) in FIG. 267 . The timing of (J1) is an effect executed as a common effect regardless of the operation timing. By setting the location where such a common effect is executed as the starting point for changing the game effect lamp 9, the designer can easily determine the start timing. Note that the timing (J2) at which the common start display is started may be used as the start opportunity instead of the timing (J1).

In the epilogue part, when the first pattern is once displayed, the display mode of the first pattern is changed to the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode so that the first pattern is shaken. It displays the first pattern,
When transitioning from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part, when transitioning from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing when the first pattern is displayed in the first mode, the first pattern is displayed in the second mode. There is a timing to shift from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part, and a timing to shift from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing when the first symbol is displayed in the third mode,
The effect executing means performs re-lottery from the epilogue part at the timing when the first pattern is displayed in the first mode and the transition from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing when the first pattern is displayed in the second mode. When shifting to the part, and when shifting from the epilogue part to the re-lottery part at the timing when the first pattern is displayed in the third mode, a specific display is performed to make the first pattern difficult to see, Display the first pattern in a common display mode to execute the first re-lottery effect or the second re-lottery effect,
The light emission control means is
In the epilogue part, controlling the light emitting means using the luminance data table for the rainbow light emission mode,
In the re-lottery part, the luminance data table for the rainbow light emitting mode is switched to the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery performance or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery performance, and corresponding to the first re-lottery performance. controlling the light emitting means using the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect or the brightness data table corresponding to the second re-lottery effect,
At specific timing in the second half part, the luminance data table corresponding to the first re-lottery performance or the luminance data table corresponding to the second re-lottery performance is switched to the luminance data table for setting the rainbow light emission mode, and the rainbow light emission mode is set. controlling the light emitting means using the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode, and controlling the light emitting means using the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode even during the subsequent pattern determination period,
At the timing related to the start of the fanfare performance, the brightness data table for the rainbow light emission mode is switched to the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare performance, and the light emitting means is controlled using the brightness data table corresponding to the fanfare performance. .

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 266, when the image showing the stick controller 31A and the time gauge are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, regardless of the timing of the operation, after that, During the time up to the predetermined timing when the re-lottery effect is executed, there may be provided a period of symbol fluctuation for absorbing the scale (symbol fluctuation period from (K4)). Then, when the re-lottery effect is executed at a predetermined timing, a common effect accompanied by a whiteout as shown from (K8) to (K17) may be executed. According to this, even if the stick controller 31A is operated at any timing, the pattern is once displayed in a swinging manner, and then the common effect accompanied by the whiteout is executed, and then the re-lottery effect is executed. It is possible to prevent the movement of the pattern from giving a sense of incompatibility, and it is possible to suitably show a series of presentations.

[Re-lottery effect 27]
The re-lottery effect is common regardless of which of the introduction parts of the plurality of types of introduction parts wins.

Specifically, any of a plurality of ready-to-wins may be used in common from the white-out screen until the re-lottery effect is executed. According to this, the data capacity of the effect data can be reduced.

[Re-lottery effect 28]
The movement of the decorative pattern after the specific display is an extension of the movement of the decorative pattern that was once shaken before the specific display.

Specifically, the movement of the pattern after the whiteout screen may be an extension of the movement of the pattern before the whiteout screen. For example, if the movement of the pattern in front of the whiteout screen is a movement that sways on the spot on the front side and the back side on the axis rotation centered on the vertical direction of the pattern, the movement after the whiteout screen is It may be a motion of rotating clockwise around the vertical direction of the pattern while enlarging. According to this, by displaying the whiteout between the extended movements of the same axis rotation, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the movement of the pattern from being uncomfortable, and the series of performances can be shown favorably. be able to.

[Re-lottery production 29]
The plurality of types of introductory parts include a predetermined introductory part that is not notified when the operation of the operating means is triggered by branching the notification of whether or not the control is in an advantageous state,
In the predetermined introductory part, there is no point where the scale is shifted, so if it is decided that the control will be in an advantageous state in the predetermined introductory part, the decoration pattern will be temporarily stopped until the re-lottery effect is executed. There is no blurring in the shaking display, but the same re-lottery effect as the reach that causes the scale deviation is executed.

Specifically, among the plurality of SP reach, there are those in which the promotion of operation such as button operation is not notified in the branch at the time of determining whether or not to be controlled in an advantageous state. In such SP reach, there is no scale shift associated with the operation. However, even in such an SP ready-to-win game, a re-lottery effect similar to that for an SP ready-to-win game in which scale deviation occurs may be executed. According to this, even if there is only one re-lottery effect, it is possible to prevent discomfort from being caused by the common effect regardless of the presence or absence of scale deviation. In addition, the data capacity can be reduced by using one re-lottery effect.

[Re-lottery effect 30]
In the flow that goes to the re-lottery effect after the shaking display of the decorative pattern in the big hit in the predetermined introduction part,
The timing of shifting to the re-lottery effect is designed so that it will be an extension of the decorative pattern after the specific display.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 266, the timing is set so that the movement of the pattern after the white-out screen is an extension of the movement of the pattern before the white-out screen. For example, the movement of the symbol in front of the whiteout screen is one of a series of movements in which the symbol moves from the right position (K3) via the front position (K5) to the left position (K6). is designed to be In other words, when the swing of the pattern is one of a series of actions in which the pattern rotates clockwise, a white-out is executed by a re-lottery effect, and then the pattern is enlarged and rotated clockwise. According to this, it is possible to prevent the movement of the symbols from giving a sense of incongruity by a series of movements of the symbols rotating to the right from the period of the fluctuation of the symbols to the re-lottery effect.

<Description of terms>
The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has been described above. Some terms used in this specification are explained below.

"Variable display" (variable display) includes variably displaying multiple types of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol), multiple types of normal symbols, and multiple types of decorative symbols.

The "fluctuation" of the pattern is the update display of multiple types of patterns, such as multiple types of special patterns (first special pattern, second special pattern), multiple types of normal patterns, and multiple types of decorative patterns. Scroll display, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, lighting / flashing / extinguishing of lamps (4th symbol unit 50, special figure 1 variable display part 53, special figure 2 variable display part 54 etc.) and so on.

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

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

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

"Pattern determination" stops the variation of the fourth symbol unit 50, the special figure 1 variable display part 53, the special figure 2 variable display part 54, and the decoration pattern, etc., and finally the special figure game Including that the design in is confirmed. For example, a state in which each of the decorative patterns fluctuating in the left decorative pattern display area 5L, the decorative pattern fluctuating in the middle decorative pattern display area 5C, and the decorative pattern fluctuating in the right decorative pattern display area 5R is stopped. include.

In the "design determination period", the display result is determined by stopping the variation of the fourth design unit 50, the special figure 1 variable display section 53, the special figure 2 variable display section 54, and the decoration design. Including duration. For example, the decorative patterns fluctuating in the left decorative design display area 5L, the decorative patterns fluctuating in the middle decorative design display area 5C, and the decorative patterns fluctuating in the right decorative design display area 5R are stopped and displayed. Including the state in which the result was displayed deterministically.

"Reach" means that, when the decoration symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination, the decoration symbols that are not stopped and displayed continue to be displayed in a variable manner. For example, the left decorative design display area 5L stops the "2" decorative design, the right decorative design display area 5R stops the "2" decorative design, but the middle decorative design display area 5C This includes the state in which the variable display of the decoration pattern is still continuing.

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

"Lighting" or "light emission" of the lighting means (light emitting means) is a state in which the value of the luminance data for lighting (light emitting) the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is higher than when the lamp is turned off. This includes a state in which the value is equal to or greater than the luminance data value (“0”) corresponding to “lights off” described above. "Lighting" includes constant lighting in which the lamp is always lit, wave lighting in which a plurality of lamps are switched from off to lighting in order, and haze lighting in which the lamp is dimly lit while changing its brightness.

"Flashing" of the lighting means (light emitting means) means that the lamp (lighting means, light emitting means) is in a state other than "extinguishing", "substantially extinguished", or "lit", and the lamp is in a state of "lit" and "extinguishing". is repeated over time. Also, "blinking" of the lighting means (light emitting means) includes that the lamp repeats "lighting" and "almost extinguishing" with the passage of time.

"Luminance" is a value indicating brightness of a lamp (lighting means, light emitting means), and in the present embodiment, luminance data is expressed in hexadecimal as data corresponding to luminance. For example, if the luminance data used to control a given lamp is "0", the lamp is controlled so that the given lamp has the lowest luminance (darkest lamp). When the luminance data used for the calculation is "F", the lamp is controlled so that the predetermined lamp has the highest luminance (the lamp is bright). As described above, the brightness data corresponds to the value of the current flowing through the lamp. When the brightness data used to control a given lamp is "0", the current flowing through the given lamp is the smallest. , when the luminance data used to control a given lamp is "F", the current flowing through the given lamp is the largest. Note that the “lamp” is not limited to LED (light emitting diode) lamps, and includes any kind of lamps such as EL (electroluminescence) lamps and incandescent lamps.

The "lighting color" or "luminous color" of a lamp includes the color represented by the light emitted by one or more light emitting elements included in the lamp. For example, if the lamp is composed of an LED consisting of three light-emitting elements "R" (red), "G" (green), and "B" (blue), then the three light-emitting elements are adjusted by the LED driver based on the luminance data. A current to one light emitting element causes the three light emitting elements to emit light, thereby lighting the LED in various colors. The "lighting color" of the lamp varies depending on the color of the light-emitting element. For example, in the case of an LED consisting of only "W" (white) light-emitting elements, the lamp lights in white, although the brightness varies depending on the current that flows. In the case of an LED composed of only R (red) light-emitting elements, the lamp lights up in red although the brightness varies depending on the current that flows.

The "rainbow colors" (seven colors) of the lighting colors of the lamp include colors composed of seven kinds of colors. For example, "rainbow colors" include red, orange (orange), yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Note that the “rainbow colors” are not limited to the colors described above, and may be composed of seven other colors. Even with the same "rainbow color", the lighting mode is different between smooth lighting based on the luminance data table (grandchild table) shown in FIG. 225 and blinking based on the luminance data table (grandchild table) shown in FIG. In addition, the lighting mode of rainbow colors may vary depending on the set luminance data.

The "color corresponding to the character" includes a predetermined color for each character appearing in the performance of the pachinko game machine 1. - 特許庁For example, there are colors set for each character, such as green for Mumu-chan, purple for Jam-chan, and red for Bakuchu.

The "light emission color corresponding to the character" is the lighting color (light emission color) of the game effect lamp 9, and includes a predetermined color for each character appearing in the performance of the pachinko game machine 1.例文帳に追加For example, the "luminous color corresponding to the character" is the green lighting color (luminous color) of the game effect lamp 9 corresponding to the character of Yume-chan, and the purple lighting color of the game effect lamp 9 corresponding to Jam-chan. (light emission color), lighting color (light emission color) of the game effect lamp 9 in red corresponding to Bakuchu, and the like.

The "speech sound" includes a sound corresponding to a word output in accordance with the timing when a character appearing in the pachinko game machine 1 utters a word. In the pachinko game machine 1, sounds (speech sounds) corresponding to the words uttered by the character are output in accordance with the image of the character appearing in the performance.

The “dialogue caption” includes characters corresponding to the dialogue sound displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 when the dialogue sound is output. Dialogue subtitles are also referred to as subtitle display.

"Physical sounds" include physical sounds generated by actions of objects such as characters and objects appearing in the production. In the pachinko game machine 1, physical sounds (physical sounds) that are likely to be produced by the actions of the objects, such as characters and objects appearing in the performance, are output in accordance with the images of the objects.

"Onomatopoeia" includes pseudo sounds that express the actions of objects such as characters and objects appearing in the presentation. In the pachinko game machine 1, a pseudo sound (onomatopoeic sound) representing the action of an object such as a character or an object appearing in the performance is output in accordance with the image of the object.

"Character action" includes an effect in which a character appearing in the effect of the pachinko game machine 1 performs some action. For example, Mumu-chan's character chasing Bakuchu's character.

In the "re-lottery effect", after temporarily stopping and displaying a normal jackpot pattern (for example, an even number pattern such as "2" pattern) that does not become a probability variable jackpot in the variable display of decorative patterns, the normal jackpot pattern is a probability variable jackpot. Including an effect that is executed before design determination in order to arouse whether or not to be promoted to a symbol (for example, an odd number symbol such as "3" symbol).

The ``replacement display'' is a presentation included in the ``re-lottery presentation'', and includes the display of images such that the temporarily stopped decoration patterns are sequentially replaced with other patterns, so that the decoration patterns are successively switched. In the present embodiment, the "replacement display" is a display in which the symbol "2" changes at high speed and is sequentially replaced with other symbols, and finally the symbol "2" or "3" stops. include.

“Repeated display” means to repeat the same display, and to repeat the display using the same animation. This is an effect included in the "re-lottery effect" and includes a display of repeatedly displaying the temporarily stopped decorative pattern with the same animation. As an example, the "repeating display" includes a display in which the symbol "7" changes at high speed and is successively replaced by other symbols, and finally the symbol "7" stops.

"Shaking display" is to display the ornamental pattern while shaking it, indicating that the variation is not finished and is in the process of being varied.

"Still display" is to display the decoration pattern stationary without moving it, indicating that the variation has ended.

"Swaying speed" is the speed at which the decorative pattern moves from the first position to the second position while the design is swinging.

The "first mode of design", "second mode of design", and "third mode of design" are modes indicating the position of the decorative design. For example, in the case of vertically swinging display of decorative patterns, if the first mode is the center position, the second mode is the upper position, and the third mode is the lower position. Further, in the case where the decorative pattern is displayed to sway in the front-rear direction, if the first mode is the front position, the second mode is the left-facing position, and the third mode is the right-facing position.

"Fanfare effect" is an effect that is executed at the start of the big win game state and notifies that the big win game state has been entered.

“Advancement” of a movable body (accessory) is an action in which a movable body (accessory) moves from its initial position. The position of the end of the movable area where the accessory moves is the advanced position.

“Retraction” of the movable body (accessory) is an action of moving the accessory as the movable body from the advanced position to the initial position. The initial position of the movable area in which the accessory moves is the retreat position.

The "effect display for moving the movable body" is a display for enhancing the visual effect of the surroundings of the character on the screen in accordance with the movement of the character as the movable body to the advanced position. For example, an effect image is displayed for making the character action stand out in accordance with the character action when the reach develops in the second half or when a big hit is announced.

"Story development" refers to the progress of a story or a series of productions. In other words, the story is continuously displayed to the player without interruption of a series of stories or the like due to scene changes or the like.

"Part, scene" refers to a group that constitutes an effect, and a part is a larger group than a scene. Parts are divided according to roles.

"Scene change"
The switching of scenes mainly refers to switching of the display, and particularly to switching of the displayed background, characters, and the like.

"Cut-in display" is an effect in which another image is displayed as an interrupting image in the displayed image. Also, the cut-in display can indicate the degree of expectation for a big hit by the color of the cut-in display. For example, when the cut-in display is red, the expectation of a big hit is higher than when it is green.

"Switching display (eye-catching display)" is an effect displayed at the time of scene change. In the present embodiment, the eye-catching display is used when changing the scene from the state indicating the loss to the normal game state. The eye-catching display has a role to make it easy to understand that the super reach has ended.

In the "shielding display (shutter display)", the image display device 5 displays an image such as a shutter so as to cover the entire area displayed by the image display device 5, and the image displayed before the shielding display is displayed. is a display that shields the The shield display may shield the image by displaying something other than a shutter.

"The brightness data is switched" means that the brightness data timer defined in the grandchild table becomes 0 and the next brightness data is used. Switching the luminance data switches the light emission mode of the lamp. By switching the light emission mode of the lamp, the player is given an impression that the story development of the currently displayed scene is being updated.

"The brightness data is not switched" means that the brightness data timer defined in the grandchild table does not become 0 and the brightness data continues to be used. Since the luminance data is not switched, the lighting mode of the lamp becomes constant. Since the light emission mode of the lamp becomes constant, the player is given the impression that the story development of the currently displayed scene has stopped without being updated.

“Moving image data” is data for displaying a moving image including animation. Images displayed on an image display device 5 are switched at high speed by several tens of images per second to make them look like they are moving. The moving image data may be compressed and held.

The “first moving image data” is moving image data created using many images in order to move a character out of the moving image data.

“Second moving image data” is moving image data created using a small number of images in order to move a character out of the moving image data.

A "movement of a specific character" is a movement corresponding to a specific character among a plurality of characters appearing in the production.

“Blackout” is an effect that darkens (blacks out) by displaying a black image in the display area in order to make the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 invisible. The blackout may be arranged such that the degree of expectation (reliability) for the big win varies depending on the duration of the blackout state.

“White-out” is an effect in which a white image is displayed (white-out) in the display area of the image display device 5 in order to make the image displayed in the display area invisible. The whiteout may be arranged such that the degree of expectation (reliability) for the big win varies depending on the duration of the white image being displayed.

"Specific display that makes it difficult to see" means that an image is displayed on the screen to make the displayed decoration pattern invisible to the player. For example, by displaying a white image on the entire screen (whitening out), the decoration pattern becomes invisible to the player.

"Fade effect" refers to fade-in and fade-out used in video technology. Fade-in means that a state in which a background image or the like is displayed gradually changes to a state in which a predetermined image is visible. In the present embodiment, for example, images showing words are gradually displayed from a state in which the room background is being displayed. Gradual display means that the transparency of the image showing the words is gradually lowered. For example, after the dialogue image is displayed with a transparency of 100%, the transparency is decreased by 10% every 0.1 second and displayed, so that the dialogue image is displayed after one second. Contrary to fade-in, fade-out means gradually changing from a state in which a predetermined image is visible overlapping a background image to only the background image. In this embodiment, for example, the image showing the dialogue is gradually hidden from the state in which the image showing the dialogue is displayed on the room background. Gradual hiding means gradually increasing the transparency of the image showing the dialogue. For example, after the dialog image is displayed with a transparency of 0%, the transparency is increased by 10% every 0.1 seconds, so that the dialog image disappears after 1 second. Further, the fade effect includes cross-fade in which fade-in and fade-out are performed simultaneously and images are replaced.

<Example of time saving control without hitting>
Next, as a time saving state, an example of executing time saving control that does not go through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.) will be described.
(Example of time saving control using time saving pattern)

(A1) In each of the characteristic portions and modifications described above, the transition to the time saving state (high base state) is a form in which the transition is made via the big hit state or small hit state in which the special variable winning ball device 7A always operates. , the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a time saving pattern is derived and displayed as a special pattern, the time saving state (high base state). That is, as a time saving state, a time saving control that does not pass through a hit (big hit, small hit, etc.) may be executed.

(A2) In addition, as the above-described time-saving patterns, these time-saving patterns may be part of the losing patterns or may be part of the small winning patterns.

(A3) In addition, when performing a lottery process related to the derivation display of the time saving pattern, the lottery may be executed using a random number dedicated to the time saving pattern lottery in these lottery processes, or the lottery random number of the losing pattern The lottery may be performed using random numbers for other lotteries, such as lottery random numbers for big win patterns, lottery random numbers for small win patterns, random numbers for judging big win lotteries, and random numbers for fall lottery.

(A4) In addition, these time-saving symbols may be a plurality of types of symbols, and may be used in combination with other symbols such as a small winning symbol or a losing symbol. In addition, in this case, the presence or absence of transition to the time saving state may be determined according to the small winning pattern to be used together. However, when the time-saving pattern is won, the lottery for the presence or absence of transition to the time-saving state is not performed by lottery, and the number of times of time-saving is not drawn.

(A5) In addition, when the lottery of the time saving pattern is performed and the setting value can be changed, the lottery probability of the time saving pattern does not change according to the setting value, that is, the time saving pattern in all the setting values Although the lottery probability is the same, the lottery probability of these time-saving symbols may be different between the first special figure and the second special figure.

(A6) In addition, regarding the timing of random number acquisition in the case of lottery for time-saving symbols, even when using a dedicated random number or when using another random number, the starting port (first starting Prize-winning opening, 2nd starting prize-winning opening).

(A7) In addition, regarding the winning of the time-saving design lottery, when using a dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number), the lottery result of the dedicated random number (time-saving lottery random number) is used as the winning value, and the time-saving design lottery When using a small winning pattern random number, a specific small winning pattern random number is used as a winning value, and when using a random number for a falling lottery judgment value in a time-saving design lottery, the random number for a falling lottery judgment value can be used as a winning value. A lottery using a structure, for example, a time-saving area may be provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7A, and the game ball passing through the time-saving area may be selected as a time-saving design.

(A8) In addition, when the lottery for the time saving pattern is performed using a structure, when the small winning pattern is used in combination with the time saving pattern, the number of variable display times of the time saving state (time saving number) depends on whether or not the time saving area is passed. keep it from changing.

(A9) In addition, regarding the winning in the case of lottery of time-saving patterns, when using random numbers for time-saving patterns, a specific losing pattern random number is used as the winning value, and the random number of jackpot patterns is used for lottery of time-saving patterns. In that case, a specific jackpot symbol random number value can be used as the winning value. However, if these random numbers are used as winning values, performances other than the big hit probability differ depending on the setting, so it is possible only if the setting value cannot be changed.

(A10) Moreover, the determination timing of the lottery result of the time-saving symbol may be performed at the timing after the big hit determination. In addition, the time-saving design lottery is executed only in the low-probability low-base state, without executing it in the time-saving state (high base) or high probability, regardless of which random value is used for the lottery. . However, when the time-saving pattern is derived and displayed in the state of the time-saving state, even if the number of times of time-saving is reset or the lottery is not performed, it may be determined for each game machine.

(A11) In addition, regarding the number of times of time saving when the time saving pattern is derived and displayed, it is possible to have a plurality of predetermined number of times of time saving according to the winning value (symbol) and each game state. In addition, it is also possible to make the condition for providing time saving different for each time saving pattern.

(A12) In addition, when the number of times of time reduction is different according to the time reduction design, it is possible to change the allocation lottery of the time reduction design with the special figure 1 and the special figure 2.

(A13) Also, even when the same time saving pattern is derived and displayed, the number of times of time saving given may differ according to the game state at that time. However, it is required that it is predetermined for the game state.

(A14) Moreover, the lottery result of "the number of times of time saving 0 times" can be included as the lottery result of the time saving pattern in the low-probability low base state.

(A15) In addition, a derivation lottery for the time saving end pattern (time saving end lottery) is executed, and the number of times of time saving is the number of times until the time saving end pattern is derived and displayed after the start of time saving, or until the big hit pattern is derived and displayed. good. In other words, without setting the number of times of time saving, in principle, it may be unlimited.

(A16) In addition, the number of times of time saving and the provision conditions may be different between the time saving state controlled by the time saving pattern and the time saving state controlled by the occurrence of the big hit.

(A17) In addition, when the time saving pattern is derived and displayed, the timing to be controlled to the time saving state is the point in time when the time for fixing the time saving pattern has passed. However, when a small winning pattern random number is used for the lottery of the time saving pattern, and when the small winning is won and shifts to the time saving state, the timing of controlling to the time saving state is the end of the small winning operation.

(A18) In addition, in the case of lottery using structures, the timing to be controlled to the time-saving state is the timing at the end of the operation of the structure in the game state (for example, small win state) in which the structure is operated.

(A19) In addition, in the case of a game machine that is controlled to a high-probability low-base state over a predetermined number of variable display times after a big hit (so-called specified number of times probability variable machine (ST machine)), a high probability It is a low base state, and after the high probability low base state has been executed a specified number of times of variable display and ended, the time saving state may be controlled.

(A20) In addition, when the time saving limiter function is installed and the time saving pattern is derived and displayed, the number of times of the time saving limiter is updated.

(A21) Also, the symbol confirmation time for the time saving symbol may be different from the symbol confirmation time for the other symbols.

(Other time-saving control examples using time-saving patterns)
As other time-saving control using the time-saving design, the control described below may be executed.

(B1) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving design is displayed in the special design in the normal state, the game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state), and the special design is in the time-saving state. Based on the fact that the variable display result of the time saving pattern is displayed, there is no game control to further shift from the time saving state to the same time saving state (even if the time saving pattern is displayed, the time saving state is overwritten (such as the time saving state may occur again) without controlling the switching of the game state). Then, when the variable display result of the time-saving pattern is displayed in the normal state with the special pattern, and when the variable display result of the time-saving pattern is displayed in the special pattern in the time-saving state, different effects may be performed (decorative pattern Regarding, in the normal state, a special pattern is displayed as a time-saving pattern, and in the time-saving state, a general lost pattern is displayed, etc.). As a result, suitable control can be performed according to the state when the variable display result of the time saving pattern is displayed (for example, the interest is improved by executing an effect according to the presence or absence of state transition).

(B2) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), when the display result of the special pattern is a time saving pattern, the special pattern is a common time saving pattern in the normal state and the time saving state, and the decoration pattern is the normal state. It may be possible to display different patterns as display results in the time saving state and the time saving state (for example, the decorative pattern displays a special pattern corresponding to the time saving pattern in the normal state, but in the time saving state, it displays a simple lost pattern, etc.) For example, do not display the symbol corresponding to the symbol). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that he or she has lost money due to the display result of the decoration pattern in the time-saving state, and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

(B3) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), in the normal state, an effect is executed to suggest whether or not the display result of the decorative pattern will be a special pattern (time saving pattern), but in the time saving state, the decorative pattern is executed. It is also possible not to execute an effect that suggests whether or not the display result of . As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that he/she has lost money due to the display result of the decoration pattern by the performance in the time-saving state, and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

(B4) In the gaming machine that controls (B1), the fixed display time of the decoration pattern (the time to maintain the display state after displaying the fixed surface result) is different between the normal state and the time saving state. may be controlled. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that he or she has lost money due to the performance of the decoration pattern in the time-saving state, and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

(B5) After performing the first variable display with the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display with the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state for the player, and the normal state. Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving design is displayed in the special design, the game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state), and in the time-saving state, the time-saving design is variable with the special design. Based on the fact that the display result is displayed, there is no game control to move from the time saving state to the same time saving state (even if the time saving pattern is displayed, the time saving state is overwritten (so that the time saving state occurs again) (a) not control the switching of the game state) may be configured. The second variable display has a higher rate of displaying the result of the variable display of the time saving pattern than the first variable display, stores information on the variable display as reserved storage information, and holds the reserved storage when the time saving state ends. Depending on whether or not information is stored, different effects can be executed (when shifting to time-saving control, continuous display of time-saving control, and when not shifting to time-saving control, it is possible to specify that time-saving control is not executed. During the time-saving state, the right-handed game is played in response to the right-handed notification (notification to instruct right-handed hitting), and when the time-saving state ends, the variable display based on the pending storage information is stored. until all finished. Left-handed notification (notification for instructing left-handed hitting) may be omitted. As a result, suitable control can be performed according to the state when the variable display result of the time saving pattern is displayed (for example, the interest is improved by executing an effect according to the presence or absence of state transition).

(B6) After performing the first variable display with the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display with the second special symbol, it is possible to control to an advantageous state for the player, and the normal state. Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time-saving design is displayed in the special design, the game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time-saving state (special state), and in the time-saving state, the time-saving design is variable with the special design. Based on the fact that the display result is displayed, there is no game control to move from the time saving state to the same time saving state (even if the time saving pattern is displayed, the time saving state is overwritten (so that the time saving state occurs again) (a) not control the switching of the game state) may be configured. The second variable display has a higher rate of displaying the result of the variable display of the time saving pattern than the first variable display, stores information on the variable display as reserved storage information, and holds the reserved storage when the time saving state ends. Depending on whether or not information is stored, different effects can be executed (when shifting to time-saving control, continuous display of time-saving control, and when not shifting to time-saving control, it is possible to specify that time-saving control is not executed. During the time-saving state, the right-handed game is played in response to the right-handed notification, and until the variable display based on the remaining retention storage information stored when the time-saving state ends. Left-handed notification (notification for instructing left-handed hitting) may be omitted. As a result, suitable control can be performed according to the state when the variable display result of the time saving pattern is displayed (for example, the interest is improved by executing an effect according to the presence or absence of state transition).

(B7) Execute the left-handed notification in the variable display (first variable display) executed after the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining reserved storage information stored when the time saving state ends. may As a result, the game can be progressed smoothly, and the interest in the game can be improved because the instruction of how to beat is suitably issued.

(B8) When the display result of the time saving pattern is displayed in the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining reserved storage information stored when the time saving state ends, and the variable display based on the remaining reserved storage information In the case of winning (small hit, big win) in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed, the notification mode of the right-handed notification executed in response to the winning It can be different. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that he or she has lost money due to the display result of the decoration pattern by the performance of the notification mode of the right-handed notification, and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

(B9) In the remaining reserved memory information stored when the time saving state ends, common production when there is reserved memory information in which the display result of the time saving pattern is displayed and when there is no such reserved memory information (For example, when there is pending memory information in which the display result of the time saving pattern is displayed in the fourth pending memory information among the four remaining pending memories, the third pending memory Until the variable display based on the information, a common performance suggesting whether or not to return to the time saving state is executed, and a time saving state return performance different from the common performance is executed in the variable display based on the fourth reserved storage information. possible). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that he or she has lost money due to the display result of the decoration pattern by the performance of the notification mode of the right-handed notification, and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

(B10) Production at the time of transition to the time saving state based on the display result of the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends and the variable display based on the remaining hold storage information The notification mode of the right-handed notification to be executed according to the hit is different from the production at the time of the time-saving state transition based on the display result of the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when it is executed. You may do so. As a result, since the presentation changes according to the game state, it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(B11) Fixed display time of the display result in the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining pending storage information stored when the time saving state ends (maintain the display state after displaying the fixed surface result The fixed display time of the display result in the variable display (first variable display) in the normal state other than when the variable display based on the remaining reserved storage information is executed may be common. Thereby, an increase in control data can be suppressed.

(B12) In the period in which the variable display (second variable display) based on the remaining hold storage information stored when the time saving state ends is executed, the right-handed notification is not executed, and the variable based on the remaining hold storage information When the display result of the time saving pattern is displayed in the display, the right hitting notification may be executed in the initial period of the start of the next variable display. As a result, the game can be progressed smoothly, and the interest in the game can be improved because the instruction of how to beat is suitably issued.

(B13) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time saving pattern is displayed in the special pattern in the normal state, game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time saving state (special state), and the variable display result is small. It is possible to execute a common specific effect (reach effect, notice effect) in the case of winning patterns (specific display results) such as winning patterns and big winning patterns and the case of reducing time patterns (special display results). Depending on which common specific effect is executed among the common specific effects provided in types, the ratio of the time saving pattern (special display result) may be different. Then, when the display result of the time saving pattern is displayed in the variable display, the right hitting notification may be executed in the initial period of the start of the next variable display. Thereby, according to the game state when the time saving pattern (special display result) is displayed, it is possible to suitably control the effect.

(B14) After the common specific effect is executed, the display result may be a winning pattern (specific display result) or a time saving pattern (special display result). As a result, the variation of the effect result of the variable display is enriched, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

(B15) The CPU 103 for game control creates a common variation pattern for the winning pattern (specific display result), the time saving pattern (special display result), and the losing pattern (predetermined display result). can be selected, and the effect control CPU 120 receives a command specifying the same variation pattern from the game control CPU 103, depending on the type of the symbol specification command specifying the display result, Different effects in the variable display may be executable. As a result, the variety of variable display effects can be increased, and the interest in the game can be improved.

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

(B17) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, there may be cases where a special effect that can be executed when the time saving pattern (special display result) is executed and a case where it is not executed (for example, multiple types For example, the special effect is not executed when executing the effect with a high degree of expectation that it will be a hit among the super reach effects. As a result, the sense of anticipation of winning is maintained without execution of the performance that excessively agitates only the time-saving state, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (proportion) of the time saving pattern (special display result) when the special effect is executed may differ. As a result, the sense of anticipation of winning is maintained without execution of the performance that excessively agitates only the time-saving state, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

(B18) Depending on the type of the common specific effect, the degree of expectation (proportion) of the time saving pattern (special display result) when the special effect is executed may differ. As a result, the sense of anticipation of winning is maintained without execution of the performance that excessively agitates only the time-saving state, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

(B19) A predetermined effect different from the common specific effect (for example, an active display whose display mode can be changed depending on the degree of expectation for winning (a display that has moved from the display position of the pending display to another display position, and is currently being executed) Depending on the production mode of (display) that can suggest the expectation level of the hit corresponding to the variable display), the expectation level (ratio) that will be the time saving pattern (special display result) will be different. good too. As a result, the sense of anticipation of winning is maintained without execution of the performance that excessively agitates only the time-saving state, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

(B20) In the special effect that can be executed when the time saving pattern (special display result) occurs, after executing the effect (such as time saving suggesting effect) that suggests that the time saving pattern (special display result) will be performed, the winning pattern (specified It may be possible to execute an effect (such as a special jackpot with a higher game value than the time saving state) that notifies the display result). As a result, the sense of anticipation of winning is maintained without execution of the performance that excessively agitates only the time-saving state, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

(B21) The CPU 103 for game control can be controlled in a time saving state (special state) with a different number of time saving times (time saving duration) according to the type of time saving pattern (special display result) provided in a plurality of types (for example, the 1 hour-shortening pattern: 50 hour-shortening patterns, 2nd hour-shortening pattern: 100 hour-shortening patterns, etc.), the effect control CPU 120 is given when the time-shortening pattern stops depending on the type of effect executed (for example, the type of reach effect). You may perform the production|presentation from which the number of times of time saving (duration) differs. As a result, depending on the type of performance, the player's attention can be focused on the number of subsequent time-saving times, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(B22) Based on the fact that the variable display result (special display result) of the time saving pattern is displayed in the special pattern in the normal state, the game control is performed to shift from the normal state to the time saving state (special state), and the progress of the game is controlled. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means), and an effect based on the command can be executed by the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that receives the command. And, the command to be transmitted includes a special command that can be specified to shift (control) from the normal state to the time saving state (special state), and the production control CPU 120 sends a plurality of types of commands including the special command. When receiving, based on the pre-reading of the reserved memory information, the pre-reading notice effect for the reserved memory information that occurred after the reserved memory information specified that the variable display that can shift to the time saving state (special state) is executed Execution may be restricted (not executed at all, allowed rarely, etc.). As a result, it is possible to suitably execute the effect control according to the game state when the time saving pattern (special display result) is displayed.

(B23) Based on the prefetching of the pending storage information, the prefetching of the pending storage information generated after the specified holding storage information that the variable display capable of shifting (controlling) to the jackpot game state (specific game state) is executed You may make it restrict|limit execution of an advance notice production. Then, as the pre-reading foretelling effect during execution restriction of such a foreseeing foretelling effect, a common mode effect may be executed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game by restricting the execution of the effect control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B24) If the variable display based on the pending memory information is the variable display in which the time saving pattern (special display result) is displayed, and if the time saving pattern (special display result) is displayed, it is not displayed as if it is a variable For both the display and the display, the execution of the pre-reading announcement effect for the reserved memory information generated after the reserved memory information may be restricted. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game by restricting the execution of the performance control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B25) The pre-reading notice effect during execution restriction of the pre-reading notice effect does not execute an effect with a higher expectation than a specific expectation (for example, if the color expectation of the reserved display is blue < green < red such as not changing the display color to red). As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game by restricting the execution of the performance control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

(B26) The pre-reading notice effect during execution restriction of the pre-reading notice effect does not execute a specific type of effect (for example, if the degree of expectation of the color of the reserved display is blue < green < red not change). As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game by restricting the execution of the performance control that does not correspond to the actual game state with the transition of the game state.

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

(C1) After performing the first variable display by the first special symbol and after performing the second variable display by the second special symbol, the game is played based on the variable display result becoming the specific display result. It is possible to control to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, and in the normal state, update the numerical information of the number of executions of the variable display that has resulted in a predetermined display result (loss display result, small hit display result that does not become a big hit, etc.), and update the numerical information. Based on, when a special condition is established that the number of times the variable display that has resulted in the predetermined display result (the number of continuations) has reached a special number of times (for example, 1000 times, etc.) is established, the normal state is changed to a time-saving state (special state). You may do game control to shift. The numerical information may be updated both when the predetermined display result is obtained in the first variable display and when the predetermined display result is obtained in the second variable display. As a result, even in a situation where either the first variable display or the second variable display can be executed, the update of the numerical information of the number of times the predetermined display result is obtained is continued, so that the player can be easily relieved due to the time-saving state. , the player's desire to play can be enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to suitably realize the relief of the player due to the time-saving state.

(C2) The special condition is established when it is determined, based on the numerical information, that a predetermined display result different from the specific display result has been displayed continuously a special number of times (for example, 1000 times). can be As a result, when display results disadvantageous to the player continue, the player can be relieved by shifting to the time-saving state (special state), so that the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed.

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

(C4) The numerical information may be initialized when a predetermined initialization condition is satisfied. Such an initialization condition may be established by being controlled to the advantageous state. As a result, it is possible to suppress the rescue of the player when it becomes unnecessary to rescue the player, such as when the player is in an advantageous state, and it is possible to prevent the gambling property from being increased more than necessary.

(C5) When a special display result (time saving pattern) different from the specific display result is displayed as a variable display result in the normal state, control to shift to the time saving state (special state) can be executed, and the predetermined condition may be established when the special display result is displayed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the rescue of the player when it becomes unnecessary to rescue the player, such as when the player becomes in a time-saving state (special state) advantageous to the player, and to prevent the gambling property from being increased more than necessary. can be done.

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

(C7) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when power is cut off due to a power failure or the like, and the backed up stored data can be backed up when specific conditions such as an initialization operation at power-on are satisfied. Data can be initialized, and the numerical information may be initialized when the specific condition is satisfied. As a result, the numerical information backed up at the time of power failure is initialized at the time of initialization of the data and does not remain, so that the game arcade side is prevented from being disadvantaged.

(C8) Based on the numerical information becoming the special number of times (for example, 1000 times, etc.), it is possible to control the time saving state (special state) for the period of the special number of times or more (for example, 1000 times or more), During the time-saving state (special state), it is possible to control the time-saving state (special state) again based on the numerical information becoming the special number of times, and the first time-saving state (special state); A different production may be executed in the second time saving state (special state). As a result, in a game in which the second time reduction state (special state) is in an extremely disadvantageous state, the second time reduction state shortens the variable display time more than the first time reduction state. Thus, it becomes possible to change the appearance of the presentation, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in the game. In addition, without executing such an effect, the same effect may be executed in the first time saving state (special state) and the second time saving state (special state). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being unnecessarily conscious of being in an extremely disadvantageous state such as being controlled to the second time-saving state (special state), thereby suppressing the decline in the interest in the game. be able to.

(C9) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first processing regarding variable display is performed, and the value of the special figure process flag is a second numerical value different from the first numerical value (4 or later ), the second processing relating to the advantageous state (jackpot gaming state) is executed, and the special condition is established when the value of the special process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value. The 3rd process for controlling to the time saving state based on (special state) is performed. again. A game ball can be hit separately in a first path (left game area) and a second path (right game area), and in a normal state, a game ball is hit in the first path, and in a time-saving state (special state), the second path. A game is played by hitting a game ball into the path. And, during the execution of the third process, it is not controlled to the time saving state (special state), but it is notified that it should be fired to the second path (for example, right-handed notification by right-handed lamp etc.) can be In addition, during the execution of the third process, a notification effect of shifting to a time saving state (special state) may be performed. As a result, even if new functions are installed in the game machine and the specifications become complicated, it is possible to perform suitable control. For example, by lighting the right-handed lamp by the CPU 103 for game control, it is possible to execute the production of the notification of the firing direction early (before the actual time-saving fluctuation starts) when actually shifting to the time-saving state (special state). becomes.

(C10) When the specific display result is displayed in the variable display that satisfies the special condition, the second process may be executed after the first process is executed, and the third process may not be executed. . As a result, since controlling to an advantageous state is given priority over controlling to a time saving state (special state) based on the establishment of a special condition, the result is not more advantageous for the player, and the game interest of the player is reduced. Decrease can be suppressed.

(C11) The numerical information is updated when the variable display is started, and the numerical information becomes the specific value based on the updated numerical information becoming the specific value corresponding to the special number of times. After the variable display ends (start of next fluctuation, customer waiting), control to a time saving state (special state), and when the numerical information after updating reaches a specific value corresponding to the special number of times, special information (special number of times reached flag) is changed from the first numerical value to the second numerical value (flag set), and when controlling to the time saving state (special state), the special information is changed from the second numerical value to the first numerical value (flag reset) may Thereby, the control which transfers to a time saving state (special state) can be suitably performed by managing special information.

(C12) The CPU 103 for game control selects and determines the variation pattern of the variable display, and selects and determines the variation pattern of the symbol fixation time that differs between when the special information is the first information and when the special information is the second information. You may do so. As a result, when the variable display of the special number of times is executed, it is possible to suitably execute the effect.

(C13) When the value of the special figure process flag is the first numerical value (0 to 2), the first processing regarding variable display is performed, and the value of the special figure process flag is a second numerical value different from the first numerical value (4 or later ), the second processing relating to the advantageous state (jackpot game state) is executed, and when the value of the special process flag is the third numerical value (3) different from the first numerical value and the second numerical value, the special condition is satisfied The 3rd process for controlling to the based time saving state (special state) is performed. again. A command is transmitted from the game control CPU 103 (game control means) that controls the progress of the game, and an effect based on the command can be executed by the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means) that received the command. Then, when the value of the special figure process flag is the second numerical value when the special state, it may be possible to transmit specific information (background designation, variation pattern) according to when it is the third numerical value . As a result, even if new functions are installed in the game machine and the specifications become complicated, it is possible to perform suitable control. For example, since different game states can be preferably identified, game control becomes easier. And if a command is changed according to the game state identified at that time, suitable effect control can be executed according to the game state by the effect control CPU 120 (effect control means).

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

(C15) In the time saving state (special state), when it is controlled to the time saving state (special state) based on the display of the specific display result (hit pattern), the special condition (variable display count Condition) is established and it is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and it may be possible to execute different effects When the time is short, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is reduced after the end of the jackpot game state, etc.). As a result, it becomes possible to execute the effect of the time saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and the game interest can be improved.

(C16) In the time saving state (special state), when it is controlled to the time saving state (special state) based on the display of the specific display result (hit pattern), the special condition (variable number of times of display Condition) is established and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the same effect may be executed (for example, the variable display number becomes the time saving state under the condition of the special number of times or more When it hits and when it becomes a time-saving state after the end of the big hit, the time-saving state production with the same fluctuation time is used). This eliminates the need for new performance data and the like, so that development costs do not increase, and the player is not confused, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

(C17) In the time saving state (special state), when it is controlled to the time saving state (special state) based on the fact that the special display result (time saving pattern) is displayed, the special condition (variable number of times of display Condition) is established and it is controlled to the time saving state (special state), and it may be possible to execute different effects When the time is reduced, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is reduced after the end of the big hit, etc.). As a result, it becomes possible to execute the effect of the time saving state (special state) according to the game situation, and the game interest can be improved.

(C18) In the time saving state (special state), when it is controlled to the time saving state (special state) based on the fact that the special display result (time saving pattern) is displayed, the special condition (the number of times of variable display Condition) is established and the time saving state (special state) is controlled, and the same effect may be executed (for example, the variable display number becomes the time saving state under the condition of the special number of times or more When the time is shortened, the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is shortened after the big hit ends, etc.). This eliminates the need for new performance data and the like, so that development costs do not increase, and the player is not confused, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

(C19) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like. A ram clear command at the time of cold start, a command for notifying the number of variable displays until the end of the time saving state at the time of hot start) can be transmitted to the effect control CPU 120, and the effect control CPU 120 receives the predetermined information. Suggestion effect regarding the number of times the variable display has been executed in a predetermined period after the power is turned on (so-called effect that suggests that the first run in the morning is different, the background image is different, and whether it is far or near within 100 rotation fluctuations is performed) ) may be executable. By giving the player a first game motivation in the morning, the operation rate of the game machine can be increased and the processing load can be prevented from increasing.

(C20) The game control CPU 103 can transmit specific information (a command that can specify information about the time saving state) to the effect control CPU 120 in relation to the execution of the variable display, and the effect control CPU 120 Based on the specific information, it may be possible to execute a special effect related to being controlled to the special state based on the establishment of the special condition (such as the effect of suggesting the end of the time-saving state). As the specific information, first specific information (first background designation, dedicated countdown effect information), and second specific information (such as a command to count down every 100 rotations) that can specify that the difference between the number of times the variable display is performed and the special number of times is greater than a predetermined value (for example, 127). good too. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of making a player lose money without realizing it by periodically suggesting a function to the player, and to suitably implement the command processing.

(C21) The effect control CPU 120 enters a time saving state (special state) when a special condition is established based on the fact that the variable display is executed a first predetermined number of times (for example, 300 times, etc.) less than the special number of times. It is possible to execute a suggestive effect (for time saving state suggestive effect control) that suggests being controlled, and before the variable display of the special number of times is executed, a second predetermined number of times less than the first predetermined number of times (for example 100 times), the suggestive effect can be executed each time the variable display is executed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of causing a loss by periodically suggesting functions to the player.

(C22) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like. , the backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 sets the special condition (variable When the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the condition of the number of times of display), and after the backup-stored data is initialized, the specific display result (hit pattern) is displayed, and then the special Different performances (such as different performances when transitioning to the time saving state) are executed when the special state is controlled based on the establishment of the conditions and when the working time saving state (special state) is controlled. As a result, even if new functions are installed in the game machine and the specifications become complicated, it is possible to perform suitable control. In addition, since the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized due to the difference in the presentation, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the setting of the probability of a big hit can be changed, the setting can be changed. Since it is possible to comprehend that there is a possibility that the game has been played, the number of elements for guessing the setting increases, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(C23) Various data including the numerical information can be backed up and stored when power is cut off due to a power failure or the like. , the backup-stored data can be initialized, and the effect control CPU 120 sets the special condition (variable When the time-saving state (special state) is controlled based on the establishment of the condition of the number of times of display), and after the backup-stored data is initialized, the specific display result (hit pattern) is displayed, and then the special Different performances are executed when being controlled to a special state based on the establishment of conditions and after being controlled to a time saving state (special state) (different performances after shifting to the time saving state, etc.). As a result, even if new functions are installed in the game machine and the specifications become complicated, it is possible to perform suitable control. In addition, since the player can grasp whether or not the backup-stored data has been initialized due to the difference in the presentation, for example, in the case of a gaming machine in which the setting of the probability of a big hit can be changed, the setting can be changed. Since it is possible to comprehend that there is a possibility that the game has been played, the number of elements for guessing the setting increases, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(D1) The execution ratio of the group notice effect may be changed depending on whether the result of the variable display is the result of deriving the time-saving symbol, the case of a big hit, or the case of a loss.

By executing the selection effect, it is possible to increase the willingness of the player to participate in the game and improve the interest. Specific control of the selection effect will be described below.

(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.

[Mode 1]

By determining the ready-to-reach effect to be executed using a different ready-to-win effect determination table, execution of the ready-to-reach effect A, the ready-to-win effect B, and the ready-to-win effect C is performed at a rate different from before the selection effect β of these multiple times is executed. determining part),
The selection effect executing means can execute the special selection effect at a lower rate when being controlled to the special state than when being controlled to the non-special state (for example, as shown in FIG. 301 In addition, in the variable state, the part where the execution of the selection effect β can be determined at a lower rate than in the normal state),
The predetermined value imparting means can impart a larger predetermined value when the special selection effect is executed in the special state than when the special selection effect is executed in the non-special state (for example, FIG. As shown in 306, when the selection effect β is executed in the variable probability state, a maximum of 5 points are given to the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the selected option, while the selection effect β is executed in the normal state. is the part where up to 3 points are given to the reach production according to the selected option),
It is characterized by
According to this feature, even if the execution frequency of the special selection effect is reduced in the special state, the execution ratio of the specific effect of the first effect mode and the specific effect of the second effect mode can be set according to the player's preference. Since the degree of difficulty of changing the ratio does not drop significantly, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the presentation effect.

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. 275). 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.

Predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 274, three positions on the lower left side of the game area and one position above the variable winning ball device 6B) are always kept in a constant open state by predetermined ball receiving members. A general winning opening 10 is provided. 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.

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 lost pattern) other than the normal pattern winning pattern is stop-displayed as the fixed normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern lost". 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 jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game 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 special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

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.

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 slot 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, multiple 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.) are prepared, and the jackpot type is set according to these It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type with which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type with which few prize balls can be obtained.

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, a predetermined return after power-on, such as when the system is reset) 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.

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 the game effect lamp 9 are provided. lighting or extinguishing, the movement of the movable body 32, or a performance using any performance device including a part or all of these.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the image display device 5, 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 game is "lost", 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 lost") may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach lost"). In addition, when the display result is "lost", after the mode of variable display of decorative patterns becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of variable display of decorative patterns is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("no reach") that is not a big hit combination. ”) is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “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 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.

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).

(Substrate configuration)
The pachinko game machine 1 is mounted with a main board 11, an effect control board 12, a sound control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, etc. as shown in FIG. 275, for example. In addition, various boards such as a payout control board, an information terminal board, and a launch control board are arranged on the back surface of the pachinko game machine 1 . Furthermore, a power supply board 17 is also mounted. Various control boards are not only electronic circuit boards such as printed wiring boards on which conductive patterns are formed and on which electrical components can be mounted, but are also configured to implement specific electrical functions by mounting electrical components on electronic circuit boards. It is a concept that includes an electronic circuit mounting board that has been manufactured.

A power switch 91 is connected to the power supply board 17 , and by operating the power switch 91 (turning it on), power from an alternating current power supply such as AC 100 V in an external power supply such as a commercial power supply is switched to the power supply board 17 . It can be supplied to electrical parts including various control boards such as the main board 11 and the effect control board 12. The power supply board 17 includes, for example, a rectifier circuit for converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), a power circuit for converting a predetermined DC voltage into a specific DC voltage (eg, 12 V DC or 5 V DC), and the like. I have it.

The main board 11 is a control board on the main side, and the progress of the above-mentioned games in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (execution of a special game (including management of suspension), execution of a general-purpose game (including management of suspension), jackpot game state, game state, etc.). The main board 11 has a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, an output circuit 111, and the like.

The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102, and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103. , a random number circuit 104 and an I/O (Input/Output port) 105 .

The CPU 103 executes a program stored in the ROM 101 to perform processing for controlling the progress of the game (processing for realizing the functions of the main substrate 11). At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (variation patterns described later, effect control commands described later, data such as various tables referred to when making various decisions described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. . The RAM 102 is a backup RAM that retains stored contents for a predetermined period of time even if the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped in part or in its entirety. All or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be developed in the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102 .

The random number circuit 104 counts updatably numerical data representing various random numbers (game random numbers) used to control the progress of the game. The game random numbers may be updated (updated by software) when the CPU 103 executes a predetermined computer program.

The I/O 105 includes, for example, an input port to which various signals (detection signals to be described later) are input, various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, normal symbol display device 20, first reservation It includes an output port for transmitting a signal for controlling (driving) the indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, the normal figure hold indicator 25C, and a solenoid drive signal).

The switch circuit 110 receives detection signals from various switches for game ball detection (gate switch 21, starter switch (first starter switch 22A and second starter switch 22B), count switch 23) (when a game ball passes or A detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on by entering) is captured and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The transmission of the detection signal means that the passage or entry of the game ball has been detected.

The switch circuit 110 takes in a reset signal, a power-off signal, and a clear signal from the power board 17 and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100 . The reset signal is an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the control circuit such as the game control microcomputer 100, and can be output using either the power supply monitoring circuit, the IC with built-in watchdog timer, or the system reset IC. I wish I had. The power-off signal turns off when a predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and turns on when the period in which the predetermined power supply voltage is equal to or less than the predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or longer. Become. The clear signal is turned on, for example, when a clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed.

The output circuit 111 outputs a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for the big winning entrance door. transmit.

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.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on the detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by the player is detected and appropriately indicates the operation content). The controller 123 may also be instructed.

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

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

Boards other than the main board 11, such as the effect control board 12, the sound control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also called sub-boards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko game machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

FIG. 277(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the content of the effect control command used in this embodiment. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, where the first byte indicates MODE (class of command) and the second byte indicates EXT (type of command). The leading bit (bit 7) of MODE data is always set to "1", and the leading bit of EXT data is set to "0". The command form shown in FIG. 277(A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Also, in this example, the control command is made up of two control signals, but the number of control signals that make up the control command may be one, or three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 277(A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command that designates the start of variable display in the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A. Command 8002H is a second variable display start command that designates the start of variable display in the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration design display areas 5L, 5C and 5R on the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special design in the special game. It is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a design (also referred to as a production design). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value that is arbitrarily set according to the contents of instructions by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data are set according to the specified variation pattern.

Command 8CXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special design or a decorative design. In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. , Different EXT data are set according to the determination result (jackpot type determination result) as to which of a plurality of types the jackpot type should be when the variable display result is "big hit".

As for the variable display result specifying command, for example, as shown in FIG. 277B, command 8C00H is a first variable display result specifying command indicating a predetermined result that the variable display result is "no". The command 8C01H is a second variable display result specification command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot A" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot B" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "unprobable variable big hit".

The command 8F00H is a pattern confirmation command for designating the stoppage (confirmation) of the decorative patterns in the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of the image display device 5 . The command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. FIG. In the game state designation command, different EXT data are set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. As a specific example, the command 9500H is the first game state designation command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time saving control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H is the time saving control. It is a second game state designation command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, short working time state) in which probability variation control is not performed while being performed. In addition, the command 9502H is the third game state designation command corresponding to the game state (high probability high base state, time reduction with probability variation state) in which both time saving control and probability variation control are performed. In addition, the probability variation state with time saving may simply be referred to as "probability variation state".

The command A0XXH is a win start specifying command (also called a "fanfare command") specifying display of an effect image indicating the start of a big win game. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is open in the jackpot gaming state. The command A2XXH is a post-opening notification command for the big winning opening to notify that the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big winning game state. The command A3XXH is a win end designation command for designating display of an effect image at the end of the big win game.

In the winning start designation command and the winning end designation command, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result. . Alternatively, in the winning start designation command and the winning end designation command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result designation command. . In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big winning opening, for example, different EXT data is set corresponding to the number of rounds executed in the jackpot state described later (for example, "1" to "10"). .

The command B100H is based on the fact that a game ball passing through (entering) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and a starting winning (first starting winning) occurs. It is a first start winning designation command for notifying that the first starting condition for executing the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball passing through (entering) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) occurs. , It is a second start winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

Command C1XXH is a first reserved storage number notification command for notifying the first special figure reserved storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure reserved storage number. Command C2XXH is a second pending storage number notification command for notifying the second special figure pending storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure pending storage number. The first pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied, when the first starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . The second pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied, when the second starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . In addition, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command are used when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the number of reserved memories decreases), the special game It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like.

Instead of the first reserved storage number notification command and the second reserved storage number notification command, a total reserved storage number notification command for notifying the total reserved storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command may be used to report an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number.

Note that the commands shown in FIG. 277(A) are only examples, and some of these commands may be omitted, different commands may be used in place of these commands, and these commands may be used instead of these commands. You can add different commands from For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the game ball entering each prize hole, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41. You may make it provide the notification command etc. which notify the notification command of passing, and the remaining variable display frequency by which probability variation control and time saving control are performed.

FIG. 278 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 278, in this characteristic portion 001SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, the normal Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for graphic display result determination is controlled so as to be countable. Random numbers other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data representing part or all of these random numbers MR1 to MR4. For example, the CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), to update various numerical data by software, thereby setting the random numbers MR1 to MR4. You may make it count the numerical data which show a part.

The random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a random number used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as the special figure in the special figure game as "big win" to the big win game state. It takes a value in the range from "1" to "65536". The random number MR2 for judging the type of jackpot is any one of "variable jackpot A", "variable jackpot B", "variable jackpot C", and "variable jackpot" when the variable display result is "jackpot". is a random value used to determine , and takes a value in the range of "1" to "100", for example.

The random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number used to determine one of a plurality of types prepared in advance for the variation pattern in the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols. 997”.

The random number MR4 for judging the result of normal pattern display is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal pattern display device 20 in the normal pattern display is "win" or "lose". It is a random number that can be set, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "13", for example.

FIG. 279 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. In this embodiment, as the display result determination table, a common display result determination table is used for the first special figure and the second special figure, but the present invention is not limited to this. and the second special figure may use separate display result determination tables.

The display result determination table is determined to be a variable display result in a special game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the special symbol is derived and displayed, it is referred to determine whether or not to control the variable display result to a "jackpot" to a jackpot game state based on the random number MR1 for judging the special symbol display result. is a table.

In the display result determination table, depending on whether the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) or a variable probability state (high probability state), random for special figure display result judgment A numerical value (determined value) to be compared with the numerical value MR1 is assigned to a special figure display result of "big win" or "losing".

In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is the determination result of whether or not to control the special figure display result as "big win" to the big win game state. It is data for judgment to be assigned. In the display result determination table, when the gaming state is a probability variable state (high probability state), more judgment values than when it is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state), "big hit" special figure display result assigned to. As a result, in the variable probability state (high probability state) where the variable probability control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state. Then, compared to the determined probability (about 1/300 in this embodiment), the probability of being determined when the special figure display result is set to "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state becomes higher (about 1/30 in this embodiment). ). That is, in the display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is the probability variable state (high probability state), the probability of determining to control to the jackpot game state compared to the normal state or the time-saving state is higher. Judgment data is assigned to the decision result as to whether or not to control to the jackpot game state so as to increase.

FIG. 280(A) shows a configuration example of a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. The jackpot type determination table in this embodiment selects one of a plurality of jackpot types based on the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" and the jackpot game state is controlled. This table is referenced to determine In the big hit type determination table, the special symbol for which variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second 2 special symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number MR2 for judging the type of jackpot is "non-probability variable jackpot", "probability variable jackpot A", " It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots, such as "probability variable big hit B" and "probability variable big hit C".

Here, the jackpot type in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 280(B). "Probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C" that shifts to a high base state, and "non-probability variation" that only time-saving control is executed after the end of the jackpot game state and shifts to a low probability high base state Big hit" is set.

The jackpot game state by the "probability variable jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot in which 10 rounds (so-called 10 rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. On the other hand, the big-hit game state by the "probability variable big-hit B" is a normal open big-hit game in which five rounds (so-called five rounds) are repeated to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player. . The big win game state by the "probability variable big win C" is a normal open big win in which two rounds (so-called two rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. In addition, the jackpot game state by the "non-probability variable jackpot" is a normal open jackpot in which five rounds (so-called five rounds) are repeated to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state that is advantageous to the player. . Therefore, "variable big hit A" is called 10 rounds (10R) big hit, "variable big hit B" is called 5 rounds (5R) big hit, and "variable big hit C" is called 2 rounds (2R) big hit. may be called.

The variable probability control and the time saving control, which are started after the end of the jackpot game state of the variable probability big win A to the variable probability big win C, are ended on the condition that the game state is controlled to the big win game state. In addition, the time saving control started after the end of the jackpot game state of the non-probability variable jackpot is controlled to the jackpot game state by the end of the variable display of 100 times or by the end of the variable display of the 100 times. terminated on the condition that Therefore, when the reoccurring big win is one of the variable probability big win A to variable probability big win C, the variable probability control and the time saving control are executed again after the big win game state is ended, so that the big win game state passes through the normal state. It becomes a so-called continuous state, which occurs continuously without In other words, the probability variable state in this embodiment is a game state that continues until the variable display result becomes a big hit regardless of the number of variable display times, while the time saving state in this embodiment has to be a variable display result if the big hit. , 100 times of variable display, the game state is controlled to the normal state. For this reason, the time-saving state is also a game state that is controlled when the consecutive game state can end.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. B", "probability variable jackpot C", and "non-probability variable jackpot" are assigned different determination values for the jackpot types. That is, if the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the judgment value in the predetermined range (the value in the range of "81" to "100") has a small number of rounds "variable hit B" or "variable probability While assigned to the jackpot type of "jackpot C", when the special figure displayed variably is the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" Not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the first start condition for starting the special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A. When the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition for starting the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. , the ratio of determining the jackpot type to the "probability variable big hit B" or "probability variable big hit C" with a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special game using the second special figure, it is not decided to control the big hit type as "probable variable big hit B" or "probable variable big hit C" to a big hit state with a small number of rounds. In a game state in which game balls are likely to enter the second starting winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B by the high opening control, the frequent occurrence of a big win state with few winning balls is avoided and the interest in the game is reduced. It is designed to prevent this from happening.

In addition, in the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. Since it is the same regardless of whether it is a non-probable jackpot or a definite jackpot, it is the same regardless of whether it is the first special game or the second special game. ing.

Therefore, as described above, depending on whether the allocation of the determination value for "variable probability big hit B" or "variable probability big hit C" is different depending on whether it is a special game of the first special figure or a second special figure Then, the allocation of the judgment value for the "probable variable jackpot A" also differs depending on whether it is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is set to be easier to determine in the case of the special game of the special figure than in the case of the first special figure of the special game.

In addition, even in the case of the special game of the second special figure, the judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special game of the first special figure is the "variable probability big hit B" or "variable probability big hit C". You may make it assign to a classification. For example, in the case of the special game of the second special, the judgment value less than that of the special game of the first special is the big hit type of "probable variable big hit B" or "probable variable big hit C". may be assigned. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to common table data regardless of whether the game is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

FIG. 281 shows the variation pattern in this example. In this embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "missing", the variable display is performed corresponding to each of the cases where the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is "non-reach" and the case where it is "reach". A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the result is a "big hit". In addition, the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"), A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "lost" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Also, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the loss variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss". A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern.

The jackpot variation pattern and reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed and a super reach variation pattern in which a super reach reach effect is executed. Although one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided in this embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided. In addition, in this characteristic portion 001SG, two types of variation patterns, super reach α and super reach β, are provided as super reach variation patterns, but the present invention is not limited to this, and three types of super reach variation patterns are provided. More than one type or only one type may be provided.

In addition, the super reach variation pattern in this embodiment is a variation pattern (PA2-2) that is different from the variation pattern (PB1-2) in which the variable display result is a big hit as the variation pattern of super reach α, and the variation of super reach β. As patterns, there are provided a variation pattern (PB1-3) in which the variable display result is a big hit, and a variation pattern (PA2-3) in which the result is out of line.

As shown in FIG. 281, the special figure variation time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in this embodiment is set shorter than the super reach variation pattern.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the variable display result is "big hit" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach, it is set so that the degree of expectation for a big hit becomes higher, so in the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern, The longer the figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

Further, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, these variation patterns are determined using only the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the type of variation pattern is provided, and the type of variation pattern is first determined from the random value for determining the type of variation pattern, and then the determination You may make it determine the variation pattern which belongs to the classification which carried out.

FIG. 282 is an explanatory diagram of the determination method of the variation pattern in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is changed according to the display result of the variable display to be executed, the number of reserved memories, the game state, and the like.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 282, when the game state is a low base state (normal state) and the variable display result is a big win, the big win variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the big win variation Using the pattern determination table A, the variation pattern is determined from PB1-1 (variation pattern of normal reach jackpot), PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach α jackpot), and PB1-3 (variation pattern of super reach β jackpot). . More specifically, in the big hit variation pattern determination table A, PB1-1 is determined at a rate of 5%, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 35%, and PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 60%. .

Also, if the gaming state is a high base state (time saving state or probability variable state), select the big hit variation pattern determination table B, and use the big hit variation pattern determination table B to change the variation pattern to PB1-1 (normal reach Big hit variation pattern), PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach α jackpot), and PB1-3 (variation pattern of super reach β jackpot). More specifically, in the big hit variation pattern determination table A, PB1-1 is determined at a rate of 5%, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 35%, and PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 60%. .

Also, if the game state is a low base state (normal state), the variable display result is a loss, and the number of pending memories of the variation special figure is 1 or less, select the variation pattern determination table A for loss, and the loss Using the fluctuation pattern determination table A, the fluctuation pattern is PA1-1 (variation pattern of non-shortening non-reach loss), PA2-1 (normal reach loss), PA2-2 (super reach α loss variation pattern), PA2-3 (Variation pattern of super reach β deviation). More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation A, PA1-1 is determined at a rate of 50%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 40%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 7%. , PA2-3 to determine the proportion of 3%.

In addition, if the game state is a low base state (normal state), the variable display result is a loss, and the number of pending memories of the variation special figure is 2, select the variation pattern determination table B for loss, Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation pattern is PA1-2 (shortened non-reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super The reach β is determined from the deviation pattern). More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation B, PA1-2 is determined at a rate of 60%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 7%. , PA2-3 to determine the proportion of 3%.

Also, if the game state is a low base state (normal state), the variable display result is a loss, and the number of pending memories of the variation special figure is 3, select the variation pattern determination table C for loss, Using the fluctuation pattern determination table C, the fluctuation pattern is PA1-3 (shortened non-reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super The reach β is determined from the deviation pattern). More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation C, PA1-3 is determined at a rate of 70%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 20%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 7%. , PA2-3 to determine the proportion of 3%.

Also, if the gaming state is a high base state (time saving state or probability variable state), select the variation pattern determination table D for loss, and change the variation pattern using the variation pattern determination table D for loss PA1-4 (time saving Shortened non-reach fluctuation pattern for state), PA2-1 (normal reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach β fluctuation pattern) from decide. More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation D, PA1-4 is determined at a rate of 85%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 10%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 4%. , PA2-3 to determine the percentage of 1%.

In addition, in this characteristic part 001SG, when the variable display result is a big hit, the mode of determining the variation pattern regardless of the type of the big hit is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. The selection ratio of any one of the variation patterns for the big hit (PB1-1 to PB1-3) may be varied according to the type of the big win.

(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 the game control main process. FIG. 277 is a flow chart showing the game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11. FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 277, 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 recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is in the OFF state, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, for example, if a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in an ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100 . If such an on-state clear signal is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the restoration condition is not satisfied. It is sufficient that the backup data can be stored in the RAM 102 serving as a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, etc. may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery condition can be established.

If the restoration condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), the random number circuit setting process (step S8) is executed after the restoration process (step S4) is executed. The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if the pattern variation can be restarted.

If the restoration condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the random number circuit setting process (step S8) is executed after the initialization process (step S6). The initialization processing in step S6 includes clear processing for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and initial values are set in the work area by executing the clear processing.

After executing the random number circuit setting process (step S8), the CPU 103 sets the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms). (step S9), and the interrupt is permitted (step S10). 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 the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flow chart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 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). By the CPU 103 executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the jackpot game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the 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. 288 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 287 as the special symbol process processing. 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 pre-reading and judging the display result and the 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 specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of starting winning set to be transmitted in this way is, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed, by executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. is transmitted to

After executing the starting prize determination process in step 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 S117) 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 to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit 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, in the present embodiment, the special game using the second special figure is preferentially executed over the special 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 start condition of 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". This variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of a plurality of variation patterns using a random number value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is a "big hit". It is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The 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". When the display result is "missing", when it is controlled in the time saving state or the variable probability state, and when the end of the number of cuts 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 opening 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.

FIG. 289 is a flow chart showing the starting winning determination process (S101) shown in FIG. In the starting winning judgment process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting opening switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. (001SGS101). At this time, if the first starting port switch 22A is on (001SGS101; Y), the first special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number is reached (001SGS102). CPU103, for example by reading the 1st reservation memory number count value which is the storage value of the 1st reservation memory number counter provided in game control counter setting section 001SG154, it should have specified the number of 1st special figure reservation memory. 001SGS102 when the first special figure pending storage number is not the upper limit value (001SGS102; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 001SG155 is set to "1" (001SGS103) .

When the first starting port switch 22A is off at 001SGS101 (001SGS101; N), and when the number of first special figure reservation storage has reached the upper limit at 001SGS102 (001SGS102; Y), the variable winning ball device 6B Based on the detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by , it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is ON (001SGS104). At this time, if the second starting port switch 22B is on (001SGS104; Y), the second special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number is reached (001SGS105). CPU103, for example by reading the second reservation memory number count value is the stored value of the second reservation memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 001SG154, it is sufficient if it can identify the number of second special figure reservation memory. In 001SGS105, when the number of second special figure pending storage is not the upper limit value (001SGS105; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 001SG155 is set to "2" (001SGS106) .

After executing either of the processes of 001SGS103 and 001SGS106, the number of special figure pending storage corresponding to the starting opening buffer value, which is the stored value of the starting opening buffer, is updated so as to add 1 (001SGS107). For example, when the starting buffer value is "1", the first reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1, while when the starting buffer value is "2", the second reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory number count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is established. Updated to increase. In addition, the second reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is established. Updated to increase. At this time, the total reserved storage number is also updated by adding 1 (001SGS108). For example, the total reserved memory number count value, which is the stored value of the total reserved memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 001SG154, may be updated so as to add 1.

After executing the processing of 001SGS108, the CPU 103 selects the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination and the jackpot type determination from among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random counter of the game control counter setting unit 001SG154. Numerical data indicating the random number MR2 for the fluctuation pattern determination and the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern are extracted (001SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random number extracted in this way and the starting port buffer value are stored by being set as suspension information at the beginning of the empty entry in the special figure suspension storage unit (001SGS110).

The numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for judging the result of the special figure display and the random number MR2 for judging the type of the big hit determine whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit", and whether or not the variable display result is determined. It is used to determine the jackpot type in the case of "jackpot". The random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbols and decorative symbols. By executing the process of 001SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data representing all of the random numbers used for determining the variable display mode including the result of variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols and the variable display time.

Following the processing of 001SGS110, the transmission setting of the starting opening winning designation command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (001SGS111). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", by storing the storage address of the first starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the effect control board 12 for transmitting the first starting entry winning designation command. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer. Make settings for sending the second start winning designation command. The start opening winning designation command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

CPU103, following the processing of 001SGS111, for example by storing the storage address of the pending storage number notification command table in the ROM101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, to the effect control board 12 Settings are made for sending the pending storage count notification command (001SGS113). The reserved storage number notification command set in this manner is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

After executing the processing of 001SGS113, it is determined whether or not the starting buffer value is "1" (001SGS114). At this time, if the start buffer value is "1" (Y at 001SGS114), the start buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (001SGS115), and then the process proceeds to 2390SGS104. On the other hand, when the start buffer value is "2" (N at 001SGS114), the start buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (001SGS116), and then the start winning process is executed. finish. Thus, even when both the first starter switch 22A and the second starter switch 22B simultaneously detect valid starting winnings of game balls, processing based on the detection of both valid starting winnings can be reliably completed.

FIG. 290 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed at S110 of FIG. 288 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 290, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special symbol pending storage number is "0" (step 001SGS141). The number of second special symbol pending storage is the number of pending storage of the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step 001SGS141, it is sufficient to read out the second reserved storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting section and determine whether or not the read value is "0".

In step 001SGS141, when the second special figure pending storage number is other than "0" (step 001SGS141; N), the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the second special figure pending storage unit Random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number MR2 for big hit type determination, and random number MR3 for variation pattern determination are read out (step 001SGS142). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Subsequent to the processing of step 001 SGS142, by subtracting 1 from the second special figure reserved memory number count value and the total reserved memory number count value and updating it, subtract 1 from the second special figure reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number Update so as to allow, and update the data of the second special figure reservation storage unit. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the second special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 001SGS143).

Then, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the stored value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "2" (step 001SGS144), it moves to step 001SGS149a.

On the other hand, when the second special figure pending memory number is "0" at step 001SGS141 (step 001SGS141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure pending memory number is "0" (step 001SGS145). . The number of first special figure reserved storage is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step 001SGS145, if the game control counter setting unit reads the first reserved memory number count value stored in the first reserved memory number counter and determines whether or not the read value is "0" good. Thus, the processing of step 001SGS145 is executed when it is determined that the second special figure pending storage number is "0" at step 001SGS141, and the first special figure pending storage number is "0". Determine whether or not As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

In addition, the special game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure. Execution of the special figure game may be started in the order in which the game ball enters (passes) and the starting prize is generated. In this case, a table is provided for storing data capable of specifying the order in which the starting prizes are generated, and execution of the special figure game using either the first special figure or the second special figure is started from the stored data. It should be possible to determine whether

When the first special figure pending storage number is other than "0" at step 001SGS145 (step 001SGS145; N), the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the first special figure pending storage unit As such, the numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for big hit type determination, and the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination are read out (step 001SGS146). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Subsequent to the processing of step 001 SGS146, by subtracting 1 from the 1st special figure pending memory number count value and the total pending memory number count value and updating it, etc., subtract 1 from the 1st special figure pending memory number and the total pending memory number Update so as to allow, and update the data in the first special figure reservation storage unit. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the first special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 001SGS147).

Then, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the stored value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "1" (step 001SGS148), it moves to step 001SGS149.

In step 001SGS149, the display result determination table shown in FIG. 279 is selected as a use table for determining whether the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, should be a "jackpot" or a "lose". to set. Subsequently, numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment stored in the variable random number buffer is compared with the judgment value assigned to each special figure display result of "big hit" or "loss" , determines whether the special figure display result is a "jackpot" or "loss" (step 001SGS150). In addition, in this step 001SGS150, if the game state at that time is a high probability state (probability variation state) in which the probability variation flag is on, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a high probability state (probability variation state ), it is determined as a “big hit” if it falls within the range of 10000 to 12180, and if not, it is determined as a “loss”. Also, if the probability variable flag is off low probability state (low probability low base state if this characteristic part), if the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination falls within the range of 1 to 219, "big hit ”, and if not applicable, it is determined as “missing”.

As described above, in the display result determination table selected at step 001SGS149c, different determination values are assigned to the "big hit" corresponding to the game state (high probability, low probability) at that time, so step 001SGS150 In the processing, depending on whether the gaming state when the variable display of the special game or the like is started is a high-probability state, different determination data (determination value) is used to determine the special figure display result as a "big hit" By determining whether or not, when the gaming state is a high probability state, it is determined (determined) as a “jackpot” with a higher probability than when it is a low probability state.

When it is judged to be a "jackpot" at step 001SGS150a (step 001SGS150; Y), the jackpot flag is turned on (step 001SGS152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 280(A) is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types (step 001SGS153). By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in this way, numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination stored in the variable random number buffer, and "non-probability variable jackpot", "probability variable jackpot" in the jackpot type determination table A”, “probability variable jackpot B”, and “probability variable jackpot C”, which of the judgment values assigned to each jackpot type matches, determines which of a plurality of types the jackpot type should be (Step 001 SGS 154 ).

By determining the jackpot type in the processing of step 001 SGS154, the game state after the jackpot game state is changed to a time-saving state (low probability high base state) and a probability variable state ( Which game state is to be controlled from among the high-probability-high base state) is determined before deriving the fixed special symbol as a variable display result. Corresponding to the determined jackpot type, for example, by setting the jackpot type buffer value, which is the stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (step 001SGS155), the determined jackpot type is set. Remember. As an example, if the jackpot type is "non-probable variable big hit" corresponding to non-probable variable big hit, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "0", and if it is "probable variable A" corresponding to probability variable big hit A, it is set to "1". If it is "variable probability B" corresponding to B, it is "2", and if it is "variable probability C" that corresponds to variable probability big hit C, it is "3". After the processing of step 001SGS155, the process proceeds to step 001SGS156.

Further, when it is determined to be "missed" at step 001SGS150 (step 001SGS150; N), the processing of step 001SGS156 is executed without executing the processing of steps 001SGS152 to 001SGS155.

In step 001 SGS156, the CPU 103 corresponds to the result of prior determination of whether or not to control to the big hit game state (whether or not the big hit flag is turned on), and the result of determination of the big hit type in the case of the big win game state. , Set a fixed special pattern. As an example, in response to the pre-determined result that the special figure display result is to be "missed", a special symbol indicating a sign of "-", which is a lost symbol, is set as a fixed special symbol. Also, when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" at step 001SGS150a, if the big hit type at step 001SGS154 is "probability variable big hit A", a special symbol showing the number "7" is displayed. Set as a fixed special symbol. In addition, when the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot B", a special symbol indicating the number "5" is set as the fixed special symbol. In addition, when the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot", a special symbol indicating the number "3" is set as a fixed special symbol. Further, when the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C", the special symbol indicating the number "1" is set as the fixed special symbol. Incidentally, these fixed special symbols are examples, and fixed special symbols other than these may be set, and a plurality of types of symbols may be set as the fixed special symbols.

After setting the fixed special symbol in step 001SGS156, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "1" corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step 001SGS157), the special symbol normal process is terminated. .

It should be noted that when the reserved memory number of the special game using the first special figure is "0" at step 001SGS145 (step 001SGS145; Y), after performing a predetermined demonstration display setting (step 001SGS158), End the special symbol normal process. In this demonstration display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo designation command) for designating a demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 is transmitted from the main board 11 to effect control. It is determined whether or not the transmission to the substrate 12 has been completed. At this time, if the customer waiting demonstration designation command has already been transmitted, the demonstration display setting is finished as it is. On the other hand, if the command has not been transmitted, the setting for transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed, and then the demonstration display setting is completed.

FIG. 291 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S111 of FIG. 288 as the variation pattern setting process. In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 291, the CPU 103 first sets the variation pattern determination table corresponding to the state to a big hit variation pattern determination table A, a big hit variation pattern determination table B, and a loss variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. A, variation pattern determination table for failure B, variation pattern determination table for failure C, and variation pattern determination table for failure D are selected (step 001SGS161).

For example, when the game state is a low base state (normal state) and the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the game state is a high base state (time saving state or probability variable state). If there is and the variable display result is a big win, the big win variation pattern determination table B is selected, the game state is a low base state (normal state), and the reserved memory number of special symbols for executing variable display is 1. If it is below and the variable display result is a loss, select the variation pattern determination table A for loss, the game state is a low base state (normal state), and the number of reserved memories of special symbols for executing variable display is If there are two and the variable display result is a loss, the variation pattern determination table B for loss is selected, the game state is a low base state (normal state), and the number of reserved memories of special symbols for executing variable display. is three and the variable display result is a loss, select the variation pattern determination table C for loss, the game state is a high base state (time saving state or probability variable state), and the variable display result is a loss In this case, the deviation pattern determination table D is selected.

Then, the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern based on the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination read out in step 001SGS142 or step 001SGS146 of the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern determination table selected in step 001SGS61 (step 001SGS162). .

Then, along with performing the variable display start setting of the special pattern (step 001SGS163), perform the transmission setting of various commands for the start of variable display such as a variation pattern designation command and a variable display result designation command according to the determined variation pattern ( Step 001SGS164), and a variable display time timer is set according to the variation pattern (step 001SGS165). Finally, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process, and the variation pattern setting process is terminated (step 001SGS166). In addition, various commands set for transmission in step 001SGS164 are transmitted to the effect control board 12 in the command control process shown in FIG.

FIG. 292 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 288 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 turns on the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation processing of step S112 to end the variation of the special symbols, and the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B Control is performed to stop and display the stop symbol (step 001SGS180). In addition, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "1" indicating the first special figure, the fluctuation of the first special design in the first special design display device 4A is ended, and the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is When it is "2" indicating the second special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B is ended. In addition, the control which transmits the design decision command to production control board 12 is done (step 001SGS181).

Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 001SGS182). When the jackpot flag is turned on (step 001SGS182; Y), the CPU 103 clears the probability variable flag and the time reduction flag to turn them off (step 001SGS184). , a winning start 1 designation command (probability variable jackpot A), a winning start 2 designation command (probability variable jackpot B), a winning start 3 designation command (probability variable jackpot C), according to the types of jackpots stored in the performance control board 12; The setting for transmitting the hit start 4 designation command (non-probable variation) is performed (step 001SGS185).

Further, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a game state specifying command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (step 001SGS186).

Then, a value corresponding to the big win display time (for example, the time for notifying the occurrence of the big win on the image display device 5) is set in the big win display time timer (step 001SGS187). In addition, the number of opening times (for example, 10 times in the case of probability variable jackpot A, 5 times in the case of probability variable jackpot B or non-probability variable jackpot, and 2 times in the case of probability variable jackpot C) is set in the big winning opening opening counter. (step 001SGS188). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" (step 001SGS189) corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (step S114), and the special symbol stop process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off (step 001SGS182; N), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving flag is on (step 001SGS191). If the time saving flag is off (step 001SGS191; N), proceed to step 001SGS196, and if the time saving flag is on (step 001SGS191; Y), further check whether the value of the time saving counter, which will be described later, is 0. Determine (step 001SGS192).

If the value of the time saving number counter is 0 (step 001SGS192; Y), proceed to step 001SGS196, and if the value of the time saving number counter is not 0 (step 001SGS192; N), subtract 1 from the value of the time saving number counter (step 001SGS93), and it is determined whether or not the value of the time saving frequency counter after subtracting 1 is 0 (step 001SGS194). If the value of the time saving counter after subtracting 1 is not 0 (step 001SGS194; N), proceed to step 001SGS196, and if the value of the time saving counter after subtracting 1 is 0 (step 001SGS194; Y), the time saving The flag is turned off and the process proceeds to step 001SGS196 (step 001SGS195).

In the process of step 001SGS196, transmission setting of the game state designation command corresponding to the state of the variable probability flag or the time saving flag is performed (step 001SGS196). Then, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, the special symbol stop processing is terminated (step 001SGS197).

FIG. 293 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 288 as the jackpot ending process.

In the jackpot end processing, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer is in operation, that is, the timer is counting (step 001SGS201). When the jackpot end display timer is not in operation (step 001SGS201; N), the value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time (jackpot end display time) for displaying the jackpot end display on the image display device 5. is set (step 001SGS202), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the jackpot end display timer is in operation (step 001SGS201; Y), the value of the jackpot end display timer is subtracted by 1 (step 001SGS203). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the big-hit end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the big-hit end display time has elapsed (step 001SGS204). If it has not passed, the process is terminated.

If the jackpot end display time has elapsed (step 001SGS204; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the stored jackpot type is non-probability variable jackpot (step 001SGS205).

When the stored jackpot type is not the non-probability variation jackpot (step 001SGS205; N), the probability variation flag is turned on (step 001SGS207), the time saving flag is turned on (step 001SGS208), and the time saving number counter is set to "0". is set (step 001SGS209), the process proceeds to step 001SGS213.

On the other hand, when the jackpot type is a non-probable variable jackpot (step 001SGS205; Y), by executing steps 001SGS211 and 001SGS212, the time saving flag is turned on and "100" is set to the time saving counter. After that, the process proceeds to step 001SGS213.

In step 001SGS213, the jackpot flag is turned off, and transmission setting of a jackpot end designation command corresponding to the jackpot type is performed (step 001SGS214). Then, after setting the transmission setting of the game state designation command for notifying the effect control board 12 of the game state based on the probability variable flag and the time saving flag that are turned on (step 001SGS215), the value of the special process flag is changed to a special It is updated to "0" which is a value corresponding to the symbol normal processing (step 001SGS216).

(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. 294 is executed. When the production control main processing shown in FIG. Perform register setting of the mounted CTC (counter/timer circuit). Further, processing for setting the value of the variable display count counter to 0 (step S72) and processing for starting to display character N as a resident character in the lower left portion of the image display device 5 (step S72a) are performed.

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 repeatedly executed 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 order (DI order). 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. Furthermore, after the effect random value update process (step S77), a demonstration effect control process (step S78) for executing a demonstration effect in the pachinko game machine 1 and a background image displayed on the image display device 5 are changed. A background display update process (step S79) for updating to another background image, and a menu display process (step S80) for displaying a menu screen on the image display device 5 according to the player's operation of the push button 31B or the like are executed. be done. After that, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be performed before returning to the processing of step S73.

In the menu display process of this embodiment, in addition to the process of displaying the menu screen on the image display device 5 in response to the player's operation of the push button 31B, while the menu screen is being displayed, Processing for adjusting the volume output from the speakers 8L and 8R, processing for adjusting the light amount (brightness) of the game effect lamp 9, first reach effect and second reach effect in response to the player's operation of the push button 31B, etc. It includes a process of displaying the number of points acquired in , for each character and reach effect.

In the demonstration effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer until the customer waiting demonstration effect is started, such as a timer for waiting for the start of the customer waiting demo effect, based on the reception of the customer waiting demo designation command. The customer waiting demonstration effect may be started based on the time-out of the timer without starting the variable display. In addition, when the variable display is started while the customer waiting demonstration effect start waiting timer is operating or the customer waiting demonstration effect is being executed, the customer waiting demonstration effect start waiting timer is cleared, the customer waiting demonstration effect is interrupted, The display of the image display device 5 may be switched to the variable display of decorative patterns.

(Production control process processing)
Figure 295 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of Figure 294 as the effect control process. In the effect control process processing shown in FIG. 295, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following steps S170 to S175 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example. .

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of 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 waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving a performance control command designating the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4". Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command has elapsed without receiving the command designating the start of the jackpot game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the production process flag is set. is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4". 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. 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 process flag is set to "5", which is the value corresponding to the ending production process. ”, and ends the effect processing during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "5". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, 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.

(Variable display start setting process)
Next, operation|movement of CPU120 for production|presentation control is demonstrated. 296 to 298 are flowcharts showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process shown in FIG. 294. FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is ON (step 001SGS271). If the first variable display start command reception flag is in the ON state (step 001SGS271; Y), for example, the buffer number "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure reservation storage in the start winning reception command buffer , are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 001SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off at step 001SGS271 (step 001SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 001SGS273). If the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 001SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and if the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 001SGS273; Y ), for example, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure reservation storage in the start winning command buffer, buffer number 1 It is shifted upward by one piece (step 001SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

After executing step 001SGS272 or step 001SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 001SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop design) of the decorative design is determined according to the data stored in the display result designating command storage area (that is, the received display result designating command) and the variation pattern (step 001SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop pattern of the decorative pattern corresponding to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores the data indicating the stop pattern of the determined decorative pattern in the decorative pattern display result storage area. do.

In this embodiment, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variable jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, determines that the three symbols are "7" as the stop symbols. A combination of decorative patterns (jackpot pattern) is determined. Also, if the received variable display result designation command is a third variable display result designation command to a fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variable jackpot B to the probability variable jackpot C, an odd number other than "7" is used as the stop symbol. It is determined from a plurality of combinations of symbols (for example, combinations of decorative symbols such as "111", "333", "555", "999"). In addition, when the received variable display result designation command is the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the non-probability variable jackpot, the effect control CPU 120, for example, sets a combination of decoration patterns in which three patterns are even numbers as the stop pattern. to decide.

In addition, when the received variable display result designation command is the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the non-probability variable jackpot, the received variable display result designation command is the third variable corresponding to the probability variable jackpot B to the probability variable jackpot C As in the case of the display result designation command to the fourth variable display result designation command, a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, "111", "333", "555", "999 , etc.)) may be determined. In this case, by further sharing the effects during the variable display during the jackpot game and the variable probability state, it is possible to determine whether the game state is the variable probability state or the time reduction state until the variable display is executed 100 times. , the player can be made to pay attention to whether the time saving state ends after 100 times of variable display or continues until 10,000 times of variable display, and interest can be improved.

Further, if the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the non-reach variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as the stop symbols. A combination of symbols (lost symbols) is determined. Further, if the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the reach variation pattern, the left and right symbols are the same as the stop symbol, but the middle A combination of reach-losses with different symbols (losing symbols) is determined.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, random numbers for determining the stop symbols, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating combinations of decorative symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to a numerical value matching the extracted random number.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 adds "1" to the value of the variable display number counter (step 001SGS277), and then determines whether or not the game state is the probability variable state (step 001SGS278). If the gaming state is the variable probability state (step 001SGS278; Y), the value of the variable probability state variable display count counter is incremented by "1" and the process proceeds to step 001SGS280, and if the gaming state is not the variable probability state (step 001SGS278; N), The process proceeds directly to step 001SGS280.

As shown in FIG. 299, the variable display count counter is a counter for counting the number of variable display times executed since the pachinko gaming machine 1 was started. Therefore, the variable display number counter is set (set to "0") when the pachinko game machine 1 is started, but is also a counter that is not cleared except when the power is cut off.

Further, the probability variable state variable display frequency counter is a counter for counting the number of variable display times from being controlled to the probability variable state to being controlled to the next big hit game state. For this reason, the probability variable state variable display number counter is a counter that is set ("0" is set) at the timing of being controlled to the probability variable state after the end of the big hit game, and is set at the time of power failure and the next big hit game state. A counter that is cleared when controlled.

At Step 001SGS280, the selected character point tally table (see FIG. 285A) is referred to, and the character with the highest number of points and the character with the next highest number of points are identified (Step 001SGS280). Then, it is determined whether or not the point difference between the character with the highest number of points and the character with the next highest number of points is "10" or more (step 001SGS281), and the point difference is not "10" or more. That is, if it is less than "10" (step 001SGS281; N), the process proceeds to step 001SGS283 without updating the resident character. On the other hand, if the point number difference is "10" or more (step 001SGS281; Y), a setting is made to update and display the resident character to the character with the largest number of points (step 001SGS282). If the character with the most points is the currently displayed resident character, it may or may not be updated.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variation pattern designation command read in step 001SGS275 is a non-reach variation pattern designation command (step 001SGS283). If the variation pattern designation command read in step 001SGS275 is a non-reach variation pattern designation command (step 001SGS283; Y), the process proceeds to step 001SGS323.

On the other hand, if the variation pattern designation command read at step 001SGS275 is not a non-reach variation pattern designation command, that is, if it is a normal reach variation pattern or a super reach variation pattern (step 001SGS283; N), the selection corresponding character history storage table (See FIG. 285(B)). 1 to No. The contents of 3 (results of selection effect α in the past three most recent times) are specified (step 001SGS284). And no. 1 to No. 3 is stored with "cannot be selected" (step 001SGS285).

The selection effect α is, as shown in FIG. 302, an effect in which the player selects one option from a plurality of options displayed on the image display device 5 by operating the push button 31B. The selection effect α is also an effect that determines the change of the resident character by repeating it a plurality of times.

No. 1 to No. 3 When "cannot be selected" is not stored in all (step 001SGS285; N), whether or not to execute the selection effect α is determined according to the game state, the value of the variable display number counter, and the value of the variable probability state variable display number counter. (step 001SGS286) and proceed to step 001SGS288.

For example, if the game state is the normal state, and the number of consecutive selections of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects α is two times or less, as shown in FIG. If the value is 1 to 50, the execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 50%, the non-execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 50%, and if the value of the variable display number counter is 51 or more. , determines execution of the selection performance α at a rate of 30%, and determines non-execution of the selection performance α at a rate of 70%.

Also, if the gaming state is a time-saving state, and the number of consecutive determinations of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects α is 2 or less, as shown in FIG. 300 (B), the variable display counter Regardless of the value, the execution of the selection performance α is determined at a rate of 0%, and the non-execution of the selection performance α is determined at a rate of 100%.

In addition, if the game state is a probability variable state, and the number of consecutive decisions of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects α is 2 times or less, as shown in FIG. If the value of is 1 to 20, the execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 15%, the non-execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 85%, and the value of the probability variable display number counter is 21 or more. If there is, the execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 7.5%, and the non-execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 92.5%.

On the other hand, No. 1 to No. 3 When "cannot be selected" is stored (step 001SGS285; Y), game state, value of variable display counter, value of probability variable state variable display counter, option of "cannot be selected" three times in succession Depending on the selection, it is determined whether or not to execute the selection effect α (step 001SGS287), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS288.

For example, if the game state is the normal state and the option "cannot be selected" has been selected in all of the past three selection effects α, the value of the variable display count counter is 1 to 1 as shown in FIG. If it is 50, the execution of selection effect α is determined at a rate of 20%, the non-execution of selection effect α is determined at a rate of 80%, and if the value of the variable display number counter is 51 or more, 10%. Execution of the selection performance α is determined by a percentage, and non-execution of the selection performance α is determined by a percentage of 90%.

Also, if the gaming state is a time-saving state, and the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all of the past three selection effects α, as shown in FIG. , the execution of the selection performance α is determined at a rate of 0%, and the non-execution of the selection performance α is determined at a rate of 100%.

In addition, when the game state is the probability variable state and the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all the past three selection effects α, the value of the variable probability variable display number counter is 1 as shown in FIG. 300 (F). If ~ 20, the execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 5%, the non-execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 95%, and if the value of the probability variable display count counter is 21 or more, 2 Execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of .5%, and non-execution of the selection effect α is determined at a rate of 97.5%.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 300(A) and 300(D), when the game state is the normal state, the selection effect α according to the number of times of variable display when the pachinko game machine 1 is started or after power failure recovery. are different. In particular, when the number of times of variable display is from 1 to 50, the selection effect α can be executed at a higher rate than when the number of times of variable display is 51 and after, so that the resident character changes to the player's favorite character. You can expedite the time until

Also, as shown in FIGS. 300 (A) and 300 (C), 300 (D) and 300 (F), when the game state is a variable probability state, the game state is higher than when the game state is a normal state. The selection effect α can be executed at a low rate. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 282, when the variable display result is lost, when the game state is the probability variable state, the variation pattern of normal reach or super reach is selected rather than when the game state is the normal state. is set low, that is, the selection ratio of the variation pattern that can execute the selection effect α is set low. Therefore, in the variable probability state, the selection effect α is frequently executed (variable display is executed in the variable pattern of normal reach and super reach), thereby suppressing the deterioration of the game interest due to the deterioration of the variable display efficiency. It is possible.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 300(A) to 300(F), in the present embodiment, when the game state is the normal state or the variable probability state, the selection effect α can be executed, while the game state is When it is a time saving state, selection production|presentation (alpha) is not performed. On the other hand, as will be described later, the display of the resident character and the reach effect itself of the super reach using the displayed resident character are executed regardless of whether the game state is a normal state, a variable probability state, or a time saving state. It is possible. Therefore, in a time-saving state (game state in which variable probability control is not executed), which is a state after the end of the jackpot game and is more disadvantageous to the player than the variable probability state, the selection performance α is executed by executing the selection performance α. can be prevented from becoming a player's stress. In addition, even in the time saving state, the resident character is displayed and the super reach effect using the resident character is executed as in the normal state and the variable probability state, so it is possible to suppress the decline in the game interest in the time saving state. ing.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 300(C) and 300(F), when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the selection effect α differs depending on the number of variable display times after being controlled to the variable probability state. ing. In particular, if the number of variable displays after being controlled to the variable probability state is 1 to 20 times, the selection effect α can be executed at a higher rate than the 21st or later variable display times after being controlled to the variable probability state. It's becoming For this reason, when a large number of variable displays such as 100 times or 200 times are executed after being controlled to the variable probability state (when so-called addiction occurs), the selection effect α is frequently executed. increase in stress can be reduced.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 300(A) and 300(D), when the game state is the normal state, the number of consecutive determinations of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects α is two times or less. In such a case, it is possible to determine the execution of the selection effect α at a higher rate than when the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all of the past three selection effects α. Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 300(C) and 300(E), when the game state is the variable probability state, the number of consecutive determinations of the option "not selectable" in the past three selection effects α is two times or less. , it is possible to decide to execute the selection effect α at a higher rate than in the case where the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all the past three selection effects α. Therefore, when the option "not selectable" has been selected in all of the past three selection effects α, that is, when the player does not want to change the resident character to another character, the selection By lowering the execution ratio of the effect α, it is possible to prevent the game interest from deteriorating as a result of requesting the player to select an option.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 refers to the selection corresponding ready-to-win effect history storage table (see FIG. 285(D)), and the No. 1 to No. The content of 3 (results of selection effects β in the past three most recent times) is specified (step 001SGS288).

Note that the selection effect β is, as shown in FIG. 302, an effect in which the player selects one option from a plurality of options displayed on the image display device 5 by operating the push button 31B. In addition, the selection effect β is also an effect that determines the selection ratio of each ready-to-win effect of the ready-to-win effect of the super ready-to-win by repeatedly executing a plurality of times.

And no. 1 to No. 3 is stored with "cannot be selected" (step 001SGS289). No. 1 to No. 3 If "cannot be selected" is not stored in all (step 001SGS289; N), whether or not to execute the selection effect β is determined according to the game state, the value of the variable display count counter, and the value of the probability variable state variable display count counter. (step 001SGS290) and proceed to step 001SGS292.

For example, if the game state is the normal state and the number of consecutive selections of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects β is two times or less, as shown in FIG. If the value is 1 to 50, the execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 40%, the non-execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 60%, and if the value of the variable display number counter is 51 or more. , determines execution of the selection performance β at a rate of 20%, and determines non-execution of the selection performance β at a rate of 80%.

In addition, if the game state is a time saving state, and the number of consecutive determinations of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects β is 2 or less, as shown in FIG. 301 (B), the variable display counter Regardless of the value, execution of the selection performance β is determined at a rate of 0%, and non-execution of the selection performance β is determined at a rate of 100%.

In addition, if the game state is a probability variable state, and the number of times of continuous determination of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects β is 2 times or less, as shown in FIG. If the value of is 1 to 20, the execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 10%, the non-execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 90%, and the value of the probability variable display number counter is 21 or more. If there is, the execution of the selection performance β is determined at a rate of 5%, and the non-execution of the selection performance β is determined at a rate of 95%.

On the other hand, No. 1 to No. 3 When "cannot be selected" is stored (step 001SGS289; Y), game state, value of variable display counter, value of probability variable state variable display counter, option of "cannot be selected" three times in succession Depending on the selection, it is determined whether or not selection effect β is to be executed (step 001SGS291), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS292.

For example, if the game state is the normal state and the option "cannot be selected" has been selected in all the past three selection effects β, the value of the variable display count counter is 1 to If it is 50, the execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 10%, the non-execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 90%, and if the value of the variable display counter is 51 or more, 5%. Execution of the selection performance β is determined by a percentage, and non-execution of the selection performance β is determined by a percentage of 95%.

In addition, if the game state is a time saving state, and the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all the past three selection effects β, as shown in FIG. 301 (E), regardless of the value of the variable display counter , determines execution of the selection performance β at a rate of 0%, and determines non-execution of the selection performance β at a rate of 100%.

In addition, when the game state is the probability variable state, and the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all the past three selection effects β, the value of the variable probability variable display counter is 1, as shown in FIG. 301 (F). If ~ 20, the execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 2%, the non-execution of the selection effect β is determined at a rate of 98%, and if the value of the probability variable display number counter is 21 or more, 1 Execution of the selection performance β is determined at a rate of 99%, and non-execution of the selection performance β is determined at a rate of 99%.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 301(A) and 301(D), when the game state is the normal state, when the pachinko game machine 1 is started or according to the number of times of variable display from power failure recovery, selection effect β are different. In particular, when the number of variable displays is 1 to 50, the selection effect β can be executed at a higher rate than after the 51st variable display. The period until execution can be shortened.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 301(A) and 301(C), FIGS. 301(D) and 301(F), when the game state is a variable probability state, the game state is higher than when the game state is a normal state. Selection effect β can be executed at a low rate. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 282, when the variable display result is lost, when the game state is the probability variable state, the variation pattern of normal reach or super reach is selected rather than when the game state is the normal state. is set low, that is, the selection ratio of the variation pattern that can execute the selection effect β is set low. Therefore, in the variable probability state, the selection effect β is frequently executed (variable display is executed in the variable pattern of normal reach and super reach), thereby suppressing the deterioration of the game interest due to the deterioration of the variable display efficiency. It is possible.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 301(A) to 301(F), in the present embodiment, when the game state is a normal state or a variable probability state, the selection effect β can be executed, while the game state is When it is in the time saving state, the selection effect β is not executed. On the other hand, as will be described later, the display of the resident character and the reach effect itself of the super reach using the displayed resident character are executed regardless of whether the game state is a normal state, a variable probability state, or a time saving state. It is possible. Therefore, in a time-saving state (game state in which variable probability control is not executed), which is a state after the end of the jackpot game and is more disadvantageous to the player than the variable probability state, the selection performance β is executed by executing the selection performance β. can be prevented from becoming a player's stress. In addition, even in the time saving state, the resident character is displayed and the super reach effect using the resident character is executed as in the normal state and the variable probability state, so it is possible to suppress the decline in the game interest in the time saving state. ing.

In addition, as shown in Figure 301 (C) and Figure 301 (F), when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the selection effect β is different depending on the number of times of variable display after being controlled to the variable probability state. ing. In particular, if the number of variable displays after being controlled to the variable probability state is 1 to 20 times, the selection effect β can be executed at a higher rate than the 21st or later variable display times after being controlled to the variable probability state. It's becoming For this reason, when a large number of variable displays such as 100 times or 200 times are executed after being controlled to the variable probability state (when so-called addiction occurs), the selection effect β is frequently executed. increase in stress can be reduced.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 301(A) and 301(D), when the game state is the normal state, the number of consecutive determinations of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects β is two times or less. In such a case, it is possible to determine the execution of the selection effect β at a higher rate than when the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all the past three selection effects β. Similarly, as shown in Figure 300 (C) and Figure 300 (E), when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the number of times of continuous determination of the option "cannot be selected" in the past three selection effects β is 2 times or less , it is possible to decide to execute the selection effect β at a higher rate than in the case where the option "cannot be selected" is selected in all the past three selection effects β. For this reason, when the option "cannot be selected" has been selected in all of the past three selection effects β, that is, when the player does not want to change the resident character to another character, the selection By lowering the execution ratio of the effect β, it is possible to prevent the game interest from deteriorating as a result of requesting the player to select an option.

300(A) and 301(A), 300(C) and 301(C), 300(D) and 301(D), and 300(F) and 301(F) As shown, when the game state is the normal state or the variable probability state, the selection effect α is executed at a higher rate than the selection effect β. That is, when the selection effect α is executed and the player selects an option, a character that matches the player's preference is displayed as a resident character, and the character appears in the ready-to-win effect of super ready-to-win. Therefore, it is possible for the player to easily recognize that the selection result has been reflected, thereby further enhancing the interest in the game.

As described above, if the gaming state is a time-saving state, it is impossible to determine the execution of the selection effect α or the selection effect β, while if the game state is a variable state, the execution of the selection effect α or the selection effect β It can be determined at a lower rate than when the game state is the normal state. In addition, even if the gaming state is the time saving state or the probability variable state, in some variable display, the variable display is executed in the same normal reach or super reach variation pattern as in the normal state. That is, when the game state is the time-saving state and the variable probability state, it is possible to execute the reach performance of the common performance mode (reach performance A, reach performance B, reach performance C) as the reach performance of super reach. ing.

Then, it is determined whether or not execution of both the selection effect α and the selection effect β is determined (step 001SGS292), and if execution of both the selection effect α and the selection effect β is not determined, the process proceeds to step 001SGS301, When the execution of both the selection effect α and the selection effect β is determined, only the execution of the selection effect α is determined, and the non-execution of the selection effect β is determined (step 001SGS301).

That is, in this embodiment, when both execution of the selection effect α and execution of the selection effect β are determined for the variable display of 1, the execution of the selection effect α is preferentially determined, and the selection effect β is determined. Non-execution is re-determined. As a result, the resident character can be easily changed to a character preferred by the player by executing the selection performance α, so that the player can easily recognize that the performance result of the selection performance α has been reflected, and the interest in the game can be improved. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 297, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not execution of the selection effect α is determined (step 001SGS301). When it is determined that execution of the selection effect α is determined (step 001SGS301; Y), the effect pattern of the selection effect α is determined according to the game state and the variation pattern (step 001SGS302).

For example, when the game state is the normal state, as shown in FIG. 303(A), if the variation pattern for executing the variable display is the variation pattern of normal reach, the performance pattern A is determined at a rate of 50%. Then, the performance pattern B is determined at a rate of 50%, and if the variation pattern for executing the variable display is the super reach variation pattern, the performance pattern A is determined at a rate of 33%, 33. Execution of the effect pattern B is determined at a rate of 34%, and execution of the effect pattern C is determined at a rate of 34%.

In addition, when the game state is the probability variable state, as shown in FIG. 303 (B), if the variation pattern for executing the variable display is the variation pattern of normal reach, the performance pattern D is determined at a rate of 100%. If the variation pattern for executing the variable display is the super reach variation pattern, the performance pattern D is determined at a rate of 50%, and the performance pattern E is determined at a rate of 50%.

Here, the effect patterns A to E in the selection effect α will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 305(A) and 305(B), the effect pattern A is displayed on the image display device 5 as a question, "It's training! what shall i do ' is displayed, 'Muscle training' is displayed as the option 1 corresponding to the character A, 'Study' is displayed as the option 2 corresponding to the character B, and 'Takiyuki' is displayed as the option 3 corresponding to the character C. It is a production pattern that performs

Effect pattern A is a pattern that can be executed when the game state is the normal state. When any of the options is selected in at least one selection effect α out of the three selection effects α by operating the push button 31B of the player, the initial option is option 1 (“Muscle training” option described above). ) is an effect pattern set to .

Further, in the production pattern A, the total production period is 5 seconds in the period from the start of the variable display to the reach (see FIG. 304), and the period for accepting the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation acceptance period) is This is a production pattern set to 3 seconds, and when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 2 points are given to the character corresponding to the selected option. But also.

Effect pattern B is a question "What are you aiming for?" is displayed, and an image of a swordsman and "I want to be a swordsman!" are displayed as option 1 corresponding to character A. is displayed, and an image of a wizard and "I want to be a wizard!" are displayed as option 2 corresponding to character B. is displayed, and an image of Archer and "I want to be an Archer!" are displayed as option 3 corresponding to character C. is displayed, and an image of a gunman and "I want to be a gunman!" are displayed as option 4 corresponding to character D. ] is a production pattern for displaying.

Effect pattern B is a pattern that can be executed when the game state is the normal state. In at least one selection effect α out of the three selection effects α, when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, the initial option is option 2 (the image of the wizard and the "wizard I want to be!” display option).

Furthermore, in the period from the start of the variable display until reaching the reach state (see FIG. 304), the effect pattern B has a total effect period of 6 seconds, and a period of accepting the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation accepting period). This production pattern is set to 4 seconds, and when one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 1 point is awarded to the character corresponding to the selected option. But also.

Effect pattern C is a question "What do you like?" , an image of a sword is displayed as option 1 corresponding to character A, an image of a cane is displayed as option 2 corresponding to character B, an image of a bow is displayed as option 3 corresponding to character C, and a character In this production pattern, an image of a gun is displayed as option 4 corresponding to D, and "cannot be selected" is displayed as option 5 that does not correspond to any character. It should be noted that, unlike the options corresponding to the characters A to C, the "cannot be selected" option is an option that is never set as an initial option.

Effect pattern C is a pattern that can be executed when the game state is the normal state. When any of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in at least one selection effect α out of the three selection effects α, the initial option is option 3 (the above-described bow image option). It is a production pattern set to .

Furthermore, in the production pattern C, the total production period is 7 seconds, and the period for receiving the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation reception period) is This is a production pattern set to 5 seconds, and when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 3 points are given to the character corresponding to the selected option. But also.

Effect pattern D is a question "How do you fight?" ' is displayed, 'Melee Attack' is displayed as option 1 corresponding to Character A, 'Strategic Attack' is displayed as Option 2 corresponding to Character B, and 'Range Attack' is displayed as Option 3 corresponding to Character C. This is a production pattern for displaying.

In addition, the effect pattern D is a effect pattern that can be executed when the game state is the time-saving state, and the number of executions of the selection effect α after the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on is two times or less, and the most recent When any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in at least one selection effect α out of the three selection effects α, the initial option is option 1 ("close attack" option described above). ) is an effect pattern set to .

Further, in the effect pattern D, the total effect period is 8 seconds in the period from the start of the variable display until reaching the reach state (see FIG. 304), and the period for accepting the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation acceptance period) is It is a production pattern set to 6 seconds, and when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 5 points are given to the character corresponding to the selected option. But also.

Effect pattern E is a question "How do you fight?" is displayed, and as option 1 corresponding to character A, an image of a sword and "Fight with a sword! is displayed, an image of a cane is displayed as option 2 corresponding to character B, and 'Fight with magic! , an image of a bow as option 3 corresponding to character C, and 'Fight with a bow! ] is a production pattern for displaying.

In addition, production pattern E is a production pattern that can be executed when the game state is the time-saving state, and the number of executions of the selection production α after the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on is two times or less, and the most recent When any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in at least one selection effect α out of the three selection effects α, the initial option is option 2 (the image of the cane described above and "magic It is a production pattern set for "Fight with" option).

Furthermore, in the production pattern E, the total production period is 9 seconds, and the period for accepting the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation acceptance period) is This is a production pattern set to 7 seconds, and when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 3 points are awarded to the character corresponding to the selected option. But also.

As a result of giving points in these production patterns A to E, if the point difference between the character with the highest number of points and the character with the next highest number of points is 10 or more, the resident character has the highest number of points. It is designed to be updated to a character with a large number of points. In addition, in the production patterns D and E, the background image displayed on the image display device 5 is updated according to the update of the resident character. In other words, only the resident characters are subject to update when the effect patterns A to C are executed, but the resident characters and the background image are subject to update when the effect patterns D and E are executed.

That is, when the game state is the normal state, if the variation pattern is the normal reach variation pattern, the selected effect α is selected from the effect pattern A, the effect pattern B, and the effect pattern C with the effect pattern A having the shortest effect period. On the other hand, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach, the selected performance α can be performed with the performance pattern A, the performance pattern B, and the performance pattern C.

Further, when the game state is the probability variable state, if the variation pattern is the normal reach variation pattern, the selected performance α is replaced with the performance pattern D having a longer total performance period than the performance pattern A, the performance pattern B, and the performance pattern C. Of the performance patterns E, the performance pattern D whose total performance period is shorter than the performance pattern E can be executed, and when the variation pattern is the super reach variation pattern, the selected performance α is combined with the performance pattern D. Pattern E is executable.

In other words, as shown in FIGS. 303 and 305, there are five effect patterns A to E in which options corresponding to the characters A to C are displayed as the selection effect α. Since there are three production patterns, ie, production pattern B, production pattern C, and production pattern E, in which options corresponding to the character D are displayed as α, the rate at which the resident character is determined to change to the character D as the resident character change production. is set lower than the rate at which it is determined that the resident character is changed to one of the characters A to C as the resident character change effect.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 303(A) and 303(B), when the effect pattern of the selection effect α can be determined from a plurality of effect patterns, each effect pattern is selected at substantially the same rate. Although the determinable form is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the effect pattern of the selected effect α can be determined from a plurality of effect patterns, each effect pattern is determined at a different rate. It may be possible.

Then, with reference to the selection-corresponding character history storage table (see FIG. 285(B)), the No. 1 to No. The content of 3 (results of selection effect α of the past three most recent times) is specified (step 001SGS303). And no. 1 to No. 3 is stored with "no operation" (step 001SGS304). 1 to No. 3 stores "no operation" (step 001SGS304; Y), the selected character point tally table (see FIG. 285(A)) is referred to, and an option (character D) is set as the initial option (step 001SGS305), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321.

On the other hand, No. 1 to No. 3 (step 001SGS304; N), it is determined whether or not the effect pattern of the selected effect α determined in step 001SGS302 is effect pattern A or effect pattern D. Then (step 001SGS306), if it is effect pattern A or effect pattern D (step 001SGS306; Y), an option corresponding to character A is set as an initial option (step 001SGS307), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321. If it is not effect pattern A or effect pattern D (step 001SGS306; N), it is determined whether the effect pattern of the selected effect α determined in step 001SGS302 is effect pattern B or effect pattern E (step 001SGS308). ), if it is effect pattern B or effect pattern E (step 001SGS308; Y), an option corresponding to character B is set as an initial option (step 001SGS309), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321. If it is not effect pattern B or effect pattern E (step 001SGS308; N), an option corresponding to character C is set as an initial option (step 001SGS310), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321.

That is, in this embodiment, when the player operates the push button 31B to select any option in at least one of the three most recent selection effects α in the past, the effect pattern option set in advance is set as an initial option every time, and the selection effect α is executed, and when the player does not operate the push button 31B in all of the three most recent selection effects α in the past, the maximum cumulative total is An option corresponding to a character with a small number of points is set as an initial option, and selection performance α is executed. By doing so, when the player does not select any option by operating the push button 31B in the selection effect α, the resident character is prevented from suddenly changing to a character that the player does not like. can be prevented.

Further, when it is determined at step 001SGS301 that execution of selection effect α has not been determined (step 001SGS301; N), it is determined whether or not execution of selection effect β has been determined (step 001SGS311). If it is determined that execution of the selection effect β is not determined, that is, execution of neither the selection effect α nor the selection effect β is determined (step 001SGS311; N), the process proceeds to step 001SGS322.

Further, when it is determined that the execution of the selection effect β is determined (step 001SGS311; Y), the effect pattern of the selection effect β is determined according to the game state and the variation pattern (step 001SGS312).

For example, when the game state is the normal state, as shown in FIG. 303(C), if the variation pattern for executing the variable display is the normal reach variation pattern, the performance pattern V is determined at a rate of 50%. Then, the performance pattern W is determined at a rate of 50%, and if the variation pattern for executing the variable display is the super reach variation pattern, the performance pattern V is determined at a rate of 33%, 33. Execution of the performance pattern W is determined at a rate of 34%, and execution of the performance pattern X is determined at a rate of 34%.

In addition, when the game state is the probability variable state, as shown in FIG. If the variation pattern for executing the variable display is the super reach variation pattern, the performance pattern Y is determined at a rate of 50%, and the performance pattern Z is determined at a rate of 50%.

Here, the effect patterns V to Z in the selection effect β will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 306(A) and 306(B), the effect pattern V is displayed on the image display device 5 as a question, "It's an adventure! what shall i do ” is displayed, “Treasure hunt” is displayed as option 1 corresponding to reach effect A, “Monster Extermination” is displayed as option 2 corresponding to reach effect BB, and “strong enemy” is displayed as option 3 corresponding to reach effect C. This is a production pattern for displaying "Search for".

In addition, production pattern V is a production pattern that can be executed when the game state is the normal state. When one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in at least one selection effect β out of the three selection effects β, the initial option is option 1 (the "treasure hunt" option described above). It is a production pattern set to .

Furthermore, in the production pattern V, the total production period is 5 seconds, and the period for accepting the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation acceptance period) is This is an effect pattern set to 3 seconds, and when one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 2 points are given to the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the selected option. It's also a pattern.

The production pattern W is a question "What is your dream?" is displayed, and an image of a treasure box and "I want to find a treasure!" is displayed, and as option 2 corresponding to reach effect B, an image of a monster and "I want to exterminate the monster!" is displayed, and an image of a formidable enemy and "I want to fight a formidable enemy!" ] is a production pattern for displaying.

Moreover, the effect pattern W is a effect pattern that can be executed when the game state is the normal state. When one of the options is selected in at least one selection effect β out of the three selection effects β by operating the push button 31B of the player, the initial option is option 2 (the above-described monster image and "monster I want to exterminate!

Further, in the production pattern W, the total production period is 6 seconds, and the period for receiving the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation reception period) is This is an effect pattern set to 4 seconds, and when one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 1 point is given to the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the selected option. It's also a pattern.

Effect pattern X is displayed on the image display device 5 as a question, "Which one do you care about?" is displayed, an image of a treasure box is displayed as option 1 corresponding to ready-to-reach effect A, an image of a monster is displayed as option 2 corresponding to ready-to-reach effect B, and an image of a formidable enemy is displayed as option 3 corresponding to ready-to-reach effect C. This is an effect pattern that displays "cannot be selected" as an option 4 that does not correspond to any of the ready-to-win effects. It should be noted that, unlike the options corresponding to the ready-to-win effect A to the ready-to-win effect C, the "cannot be selected" option is an option that is never set as an initial option.

In addition, the effect pattern X is a pattern that can be executed when the game state is the normal state, and the number of executions of the selected effect β after the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on is two times or less, and the most recent When one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in at least one selection effect β out of the three selection effects β, the initial option is option 3 (the monster image option described above). It is a production pattern set to .

Furthermore, the effect pattern X has a total effect period of 7 seconds and a period of receiving an operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation receiving period) in the period from the start of the variable display to reaching the reach (see FIG. 304). It is a production pattern set to 5 seconds, and when one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 3 points are given to the ready-to-win production corresponding to the selected option. It's also a pattern.

Effect pattern Y is a question "What do you want?" ' is displayed, 'money' is displayed as option 1 corresponding to reach effect A, 'honor' is displayed as option 2 corresponding to reach effect B, and 'rival rival' is displayed as option 3 corresponding to reach effect C. This is an effect pattern for displaying.

In addition, the production pattern Y is a production pattern that can be executed when the game state is the time saving state, and the number of executions of the selection production β after the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on is two times or less, and the last When one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in at least one selection effect β out of the three selection effects β, the initial option is option 1 (the above-described "money" option). It is a production pattern set to .

Further, in the production pattern Y, the total production period is 8 seconds in the period from the start of the variable display until reaching the reach state (see FIG. 304), and the period for accepting the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation acceptance period) is This is an effect pattern set to 6 seconds, and when one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 5 points are given to the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the selected option. It's also a pattern.

The production pattern Z is a question "What do you want?" ], display of treasure box image and "money" as option 1 corresponding to reach effect A, display of monster image and "honor" as option 2 corresponding to reach effect B, corresponding to reach effect C. This is an effect pattern in which an image of a strong enemy and a "good opponent" are displayed as option 3.

In addition, the production pattern Z is a production pattern that can be executed when the game state is the time saving state, and the number of executions of the selection production β after the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on is two times or less, and the last In at least one selection effect β out of the three selection effects β, when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, the initial option is option 2 (the above-described monster image and "honor ] option).

Furthermore, the effect pattern Z has a total effect period of 9 seconds and a period of accepting the operation of the push button 31B from the player (operation accepting period) in the period from the start of the variable display to reaching the reach (see FIG. 304). This is a production pattern set to 7 seconds, and when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, 3 points are awarded to the character corresponding to the selected option. But also.

In addition, as a result of giving points in these production patterns V to Z, if the difference in the number of points between the ready-to-win production with the largest number of points and the ready-to-win production with the next largest number of points is 10 or more, the most points The execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect is changed so that many ready-to-win effects are easily executed.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 303(C) and 303(D), when the effect pattern of the selected effect β can be determined from a plurality of effect patterns, each effect pattern is selected at substantially the same rate. Although the determinable form is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the effect pattern of the selected effect β can be determined from a plurality of effect patterns, each effect pattern is determined at a different rate. It may be possible.

Then, referring to the selection corresponding ready-to-win effect history storage table (see FIG. 285(D)), No. 1 to No. The content of 3 (results of selection effects β for the past three most recent times) is specified (step 001SGS313). And no. 1 to No. 3 is stored with "no operation" (step 001SGS314). 1 to No. If "no operation" is stored in 3 (step 001SGS314; Y), the number of points for each character in the selection reach effect point tally table (see FIG. 285(C)) is referred to, and the number of points is the smallest. An option corresponding to the ready-to-win effect is set as an initial option (step 001SGS315), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321.

On the other hand, No. 1 to No. 3 are not stored with "no operation" (step 001SGS314; N), it is determined whether or not the effect pattern of the selected effect β determined in step 001SGS312 is effect pattern V or effect pattern Y ( Step 001SGS316), if it is production pattern V or production pattern Y (step 001SGS316; Y), the option corresponding to the mission-related reach is set as the initial option (step 001SGS317), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321. Further, if the effect pattern is not the effect pattern V or the effect pattern Y (step 001SGS316; N), it is determined whether the effect pattern of the selected effect β determined in step 001SGS302 is effect pattern W or effect pattern Z (step 001SGS318). ), if it is effect pattern W or effect pattern Z (step 001SGS318; Y), the option corresponding to the annihilation reach is set as the initial option (step 001SGS319), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321. If it is not effect pattern W or effect pattern Z (step 001SGS318; N), an option corresponding to battle reach is set as an initial option (step 001SGS320), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS321.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the player operates the push button 31B to select any option in at least one selection effect β out of the three most recent selection effects β in the past, the effect pattern While the selection effect β is executed by setting the preset option as the initial option every time, when the player does not operate the push button 31B in all the most recent three selection effects β in the past, the maximum cumulative total An option corresponding to a character with a small number of points is set as an initial option, and selection performance β is executed. By doing so, when none of the options is selected by the player by operating the push button 31B in the selection effect β, the ready-to-win effect different from the player's preference is executed at a high rate. can be prevented.

After executing the processes of steps 001SGS305, 001SGS307, 001SGS309, 001SGS310, 001SGS315, 001SGS317, 001SGS319, and 001SGS320, a timer for waiting for the start of the selection effect is set (step 001SGS321), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS322.

After executing the processing of steps 001SGS311 and 001SGS321, the process proceeds to step 001SGS322, and it is determined whether or not the variation pattern designation command read at step 001SGS275 is a super reach variation pattern designation command (step 001SGS322). If the variation pattern specification command read at step 001SGS275 is not a super reach variation pattern specification command, that is, if it is a normal reach variation pattern specification command (step 001SGS322; N), proceed to step 001SGS334.

Also, if the variation pattern specification command read in step 001SGS275 is a variation pattern specification command of super reach (step 001SGS322; Y), for each reach production of the point total table for selection reach production (see FIG. 285 (C)) The number of points is referred to, and the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points and the ready-to-win effect with the next largest number of points are specified (step 001SGS323). Then, it is determined whether or not the point difference between the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points and the ready-to-win effect with the next largest number of points is "10" or more (step 001SGS324), and the point difference is "10" or more. If it is less than "10" (step 001SGS324; N), the ready-to-win effect determination table A (see FIG. 307(A)) is set, and the ready-to-win effect is determined according to the game state (step 001SGS325). ), go to step 001SGS331.

For example, when the ready-to-win effect determination table A is set, as shown in FIG. 307(A), as shown in FIG. The execution of the ready-to-win performance B and the ready-to-win performance C are determined by the ratio of 34% and 34%, respectively. That is, when the ready-to-reach effect determination table A is set, the ready-to-reach effect to be executed is determined from the ready-to-reach effect A, the ready-to-win effect B, and the ready-to-win effect C at almost the same ratio (the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect: ready-to-reach effect A = reach Effect B ≒ Reach effect C).

On the other hand, if the point number difference is "10" or more (step 001SGS324; Y), it is determined whether or not the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points is the ready-to-win effect A (step 001SGS326). When determined (step 001SGS326; Y), the ready-to-win effect determination table B (see FIG. 307(B)) is set, and the ready-to-win effect is determined according to the game state (step 001SGS327), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS331.

For example, when the ready-to-win effect determination table B is set, as shown in FIG. Execution of reach performance C is determined at a rate of 25%, and if the game state is a time saving state, reach performance A at a rate of 60%, reach performance B at a rate of 20%, and reach performance C at a rate of 20%. Execution is determined, and if the game state is a probability variable state, execution of ready-to-win performance A is determined at a rate of 70%, ready-to-win performance B at a rate of 15%, and execution of ready-to-win performance C at a rate of 15%.

That is, when the ready-to-win effect determination table B is set, the execution of the ready-to-win effect A is determined at a higher rate than the execution of the ready-to-win effect B and the execution of the ready-to-win effect C (the execution decision ratio of the ready-to-win effect: ready-to-reach effect A> Reach production B, reach production A> reach production C). In addition, the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect A is set to the lowest when the game state is the normal state, and is set to the highest when the game state is the variable probability state (execution decision ratio of the ready-to-win effect A : Probability change state > time saving state > normal state).

In this embodiment, when the ready-to-win effect determination table B is set, the execution determination ratios of the ready-to-win effect B and the ready-to-win effect C are set to the same ratio in each game state, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect B and the ready-to-win effect C when the ready-to-win effect determination table B is set may differ according to the game state.

When it is determined that it is not the ready-to-win effect A (step 001SGS326; N), it is determined whether or not the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points is the ready-to-win effect B (step 001SGS328), and when it is determined to be the ready-to-win effect B. (Step 001SGS328; Y), set the ready-to-win effect determination table C (see FIG. 307(C)), determine the type of ready-to-win effect according to the game state (step 001SGS329), and proceed to step 001SGS331.

For example, when the ready-to-win effect determination table C is set, as shown in FIG. Execution of the ready-to-reach performance C is determined at a rate of 25%, and if the game state is a time-saving state, the ready-to-reach performance A is to be performed at a rate of 20%, the ready-to-reach performance B is to be performed at a rate of 60%, and the ready-to-reach performance C is to be performed at a rate of 20%. Execution is determined, and if the game state is a probability variable state, execution of ready-to-win performance A at a rate of 15%, ready-to-win performance B at a rate of 70%, and ready-to-win performance C at a rate of 15% is determined.

That is, when the ready-to-reach effect determination table C is set, the execution of the ready-to-reach effect B is determined at a higher rate than the execution of the ready-to-win effect A and the execution of the ready-to-win effect C (the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-reach effect: ready-to-reach effect B> Reach effect A, reach effect B> reach effect C). In addition, the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect B is set to the lowest when the game state is the normal state, and is set to the highest when the game state is the variable probability state (execution decision ratio of the ready-to-win effect B : Probability change state > time saving state > normal state).

In this embodiment, when the ready-to-win effect determination table C is set, the execution determination ratios of the ready-to-win effect A and the ready-to-win effect C are set to the same ratio in each game state, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect A and the ready-to-win effect C when the ready-to-win effect determination table C is set may differ according to the game state.

Also, if it is determined that it is not the ready-to-win effect B (step 001SGS328; N), the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points becomes the ready-to-win effect C, so the ready-to-win effect determination table D (see FIG. 307 (D)) is set and the game is played. A ready-to-win effect is determined according to the state (step 001SGS330), and the process proceeds to step 001SGS331.

For example, when the ready-to-win effect determination table D is set, as shown in FIG. Execution of reach performance C is determined at a rate of 50%, and if the game state is a time saving state, reach performance A at a rate of 20%, reach performance B at a rate of 20%, and reach performance C at a rate of 60%. Execution is determined, and if the game state is a probability variable state, execution of ready-to-win performance A at a rate of 15%, ready-to-win performance B at a rate of 15%, and ready-to-win performance C at a rate of 70% is determined.

That is, when the ready-to-win effect determination table D is set, the execution of the ready-to-win effect C is determined at a higher rate than the execution of the ready-to-win effect A and the execution of the ready-to-win effect B (the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect: reach effect C> Reach effect A, reach effect C> reach effect B). In addition, the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect C is set to the lowest when the game state is the normal state, and is set to the highest when the game state is the variable probability state (execution decision ratio of the ready-to-win effect C : Probability change state > time saving state > normal state).

In this embodiment, when the ready-to-win effect determination table D is set, the execution determination ratios of the ready-to-win effect A and the ready-to-win effect B are set to the same ratio in each game state, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the execution determination ratio of the ready-to-win effect A and the ready-to-win effect B when the ready-to-win effect determination table D is set may differ according to the game state.

Thus, in this embodiment, as a result of executing the selection effect β a plurality of times, if there is a difference of 10 points or more between the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points and the ready-to-win effect with the next largest number of points, these multiple By determining the ready-to-win performance to be executed using a ready-to-win performance determination table different from that before the selection performance β is executed for a plurality of times, the ready-to-win performance A has a different ratio than before the selection performance β for a plurality of times is executed. , ready-to-win effect B, and ready-to-win effect C to be executed.

Next, after the processing of steps 001SGS325, step 001SGS327, step 001SGS329, and step 001SGS330, a resident character is specified (step 001SGS331), and a process table corresponding to the combination of the specified resident character, variation pattern, and reach effect is selected. (step 001SGS332), and proceeds to step 001SGS335.

In the process of step 001SGS331, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the target character for the update setting when the update setting of the resident character is performed in the process of step 001SGS282, and the resident character in the process of step 001SGS282. is not set, a character displayed as a resident character on the image display device 5 may be specified.

Also, if the variation pattern specification command read at step 001SGS275 is a non-reach variation pattern specification command (step 001SGS283; Y) and if it is not a super reach variation pattern specification command, that is, with a normal reach variation pattern specification command If there is (step 001SGS322; N), a process table corresponding to the variation pattern is selected (step 001SGS334), and a process timer is started (step 001SGS335).

The process table contains display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and data for controlling sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (numbers 1 to N). there is

Next, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display as a component for effect) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The device 5, various lamps as performance parts, speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (step 001SGS336). 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.

Then, a variable display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variation pattern designation command (step 001SGS337). Also, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 001SGS338). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 writes to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data obtained is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing variable display (fluctuation) of the decoration pattern. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172) (step 001SGS339), and the variable display start setting process ends.

(Effect processing during variable display)
FIG. 308 is a flow chart showing the effect processing during variable display (S172) in the effect control process processing. In the variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts 1 from each value of the process timer, variable display time timer, and variable display control timer (steps 001SGS341, 001SGS342, 001SGS343).

At step 001SGS344, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the process timer has timed out. If the process timer has timed out (step 001SGS344; Y), the process data is switched (step 001SGS345). That is, the process timer is restarted by setting the next process timer set value in the process table to the process timer (step 001SGS346). In addition, the control state for the production device (parts for production) is changed based on display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc., which are set next (step 001SGS347). On the other hand, if the process timer has not timed out (step 001SGS344; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.) Control of the production device (parts for production) is executed according to (step 001SGS348).

After executing the processing of step 001SGS347 or step 001SGS348, a resident character change effect execution process (step 001SGS349a) for executing a resident character change effect of changing the resident character displayed on the image display device 5 to another character. and a selection effect execution process (step 001SGS349b) for executing the selection effect α or the selection effect β. Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 304, the resident character change effect is a effect that can be executed in any of the non-reach, normal reach, and super reach fluctuation pattern variable displays, and is executed from the start of the variable display. is.

After the resident character change effect execution process of step 001SGS349a and the selection effect execution process of step 001SGS349b are completed, it is checked whether or not the variable display control timer has timed out (step 001SGS350a). When the variable display control timer has timed out, the effect control CPU 120 selects the next display screen for the left, middle, and right decorative patterns (the screen to be displayed after 30 ms has passed since the previous display switching of the decorative patterns). Image data is created and written in a predetermined area of VRAM (step 001SGS350b). Thus, in the image display device 5, variation control of decorative symbols is realized. The display control unit 123 transmits to the image display device 5 a signal based on data obtained by superimposing the image data of a predetermined area such as the set background image and the image data based on the display control execution data set in the process table. Output. In this manner, the image display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the decorative design in the variation of the decorative design. Also, the variable display control timer is reset to a predetermined value (step 001SGS350c).

Further, when the variable display control timer has not timed out or after executing the process of step 001SGS350c, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether the variable display time timer has timed out (step 001SGS350d). If the variable display time timer has timed out (step 001SGS350d; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure per waiting process (S176) (step 001SGS350f). Even if the variable display time timer has not timed out (step 001SGS350d; N), if the determination command reception flag indicating that the symbol determination designation command has been received is set (step 001SGS350e; Y), the effect control process flag The value is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure per waiting process (S176) (step 001SGS350f). Even if the variable display time timer has not timed out, when the pattern confirmation designation command is received, the control is shifted to stop the fluctuation. is received, the variation of the decorative design can be terminated when the normal variation time elapses (at the end of the variation of the special design).

FIG. 309 is a flow chart showing the resident character change effect execution process (step 001SGS349a) in the effect process during variable display. In the resident character change effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the resident character change effect process timer is in operation (step 001SGS401). If the resident character change effect process timer is not in operation (step 001SGS401; N), for example, by specifying whether or not the process of step 001SGS282 of the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a resident character update setting (step 001SGS402). If there is no resident character update setting (step 001SGS402; N), the resident character change effect execution process is terminated, and if there is a resident character update setting (step 001SGS402; Y), the resident character is changed according to the character to be updated. A process table for effect is selected (step 001SGS403), and a resident character change effect process timer is started (step 001SGS404).

The resident character change effect process table contains display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. and sound control execution data for controlling the push button 31B and the operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in order.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display as a component for effect) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Device 5, various lamps as parts for production, speakers 8L and 8R as parts for production, operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled, and the resident character change production execution process is terminated ( step 001 SGS 405). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the resident character change effect 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.

If the process timer for resident character change effect is in operation (step 001SGS401; Y), the value of the process timer for resident character change effect is decremented by 1 (step 001SGS406), and the resident character change effect is reduced by 1. It is determined whether or not the effect process timer has reached 0, that is, whether or not the resident character change effect process timer has timed out (step 001SGS407).

When the resident character change rendering process timer times out (step 001SGS407; Y), the process data is switched (step 001SGS408). That is, the process timer for resident character change effect is restarted by setting the next set value of the process timer in the process table for resident character change effect to the process timer for resident character change effect (step 001SGS409). In addition, based on the next set display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc., the control state for the production device (parts for production) is changed, and the resident character change production is performed. Execution processing ends (step 001SGS410). On the other hand, if the resident character change effect process timer has not timed out (step 001SGS407; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the resident character change effect process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operating unit control data, etc.), and the resident character change effect execution process is terminated (step 001SGS411).

310 and 311 are flowcharts showing the selection effect execution process (step 001SGS349b) in the effect process during variable display. In the selection effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the process timer for selection effect is in operation, that is, whether or not the selection effect is being executed (step 001SGS351). If the process timer for selection effect is not in operation (step 001SGS351; N), it is determined whether or not the timer for waiting for start of selection effect is set (step 001SGS352), and if the timer for waiting for start of selection effect is not set ( At step 001SGS352;N), the selection effect execution process is terminated.

When the selection effect start waiting timer is set (step 001SGS352; Y), after subtracting "1" from the value of the selection effect start waiting timer (step 001SGS353), whether or not the selection effect start waiting timer has timed out. is determined (step 001SGS354), and if the timer for waiting for the start of the selection effect has not timed out (step 001SGS354; N), the selection effect execution processing is terminated. Further, when the timer for waiting for the start of the selection effect has timed out, that is, when it is time to start the selection effect (step 001SGS354; Y), it is determined whether or not the execution of the selection effect α is determined (step 001SGS355). ), when execution of the selection effect α is determined, a process table for selection effect corresponding to the effect pattern of the selection effect α is selected (step 001SGS356). Further, when the execution of the selection effect α is not determined, that is, when the execution of the selection effect β is determined, the process table for selection effect corresponding to the effect pattern of the selection effect β is selected (step 001SGS357). .

After executing the process of step 001SGS356 or step 001SGS357, the process timer for selection effect is started (step 001SGS358), and according to the contents of the process data 1, the effect device (the image display device 5 as a component for effect, the component for effect various lamps as the controller, the speakers 8L and 8R as the parts for performance, and the operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) (step 001SGS357), and the selection performance execution processing is terminated.

Also, in step 001SGS351, when the process timer for selection effect is in operation (step 001SGS351; Y), after subtracting "1" from the timer value of the process timer for selection effect (step 001SGS360), the process timer for selection effect is started. It is determined whether or not the timer has expired (step 001SGS361). If the process timer for selection presentation has timed out (step 001SGS361; Y), the process data is switched (step 001SGS362). That is, the process timer is restarted by setting the next process timer set value in the process table to the process timer (step 001SGS363). In addition, the control state for the production device (parts for production) is changed based on display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operating unit control data, etc., which are set next (step 001SGS364). On the other hand, if the process timer for selection effects has not timed out (step 001SGS361; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer for selection effects (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, The control of the production device (parts for production) is executed according to the operation unit control data, etc. (step 001SGS365).

After executing the process of step 001SGS364 or step 001SGS365, it is determined whether or not it is the operation effective period of the push button 31B, that is, the selection operation acceptance period (step 001SGS366), and the operation effective period of the push button 31B is determined. If not (step 001SGS366; N), the selection effect execution process is terminated. Also, if it is the operation effective period of the push button 31B (step 001SGS366; Y), it is determined whether or not the operation of the push button 31B is detected (step 001SGS367), and if the operation of the push button 31B is detected ( Step 001SGS367; Y) sets an operation detection flag assuming that a selection operation has been performed regardless of the number of times of operation detection (step 001SGS368), and performs processing for changing options to be selected according to detection of operation of the push button 31B. (Step 001 SGS369).

If the operation of the push button 31B is not detected in step 001SGS367 (step 001SGS367; N), or after the process of step 001SGS369 is executed, it is determined whether or not it is time to end the effective period of operation of the push button 31B. (Step 001SGS370) If it is not the end timing of the operation effective period of the push button 31B (Step 001SGS370; N), the selection effect execution processing is terminated. Also, in the case of the end timing of the operation effective period of the push button 31B (step 001SGS370; Y), it is determined whether or not the operation detection flag is set, that is, whether or not the player performs a selection operation during the operation effective period. Then (step 001SGS371), if the operation detection flag is set (step 001SGS371; Y), the operation detection flag is cleared (step 001SGS372).

Next, it is determined whether or not the selection effect α has been executed (step 001SGS373), and if it is the selection effect α (step 001SGS373; Y), the selected option is specified (step 001SGS374), and specified It is determined whether or not the given option is "cannot be selected" (step 001SGS375).

If the specified option is other than "cannot be selected" (step 001SGS375; N), the selected character point tally table (see FIG. 285(A)) is referred to, and the character corresponding to the selected option is A point corresponding to the effect pattern of the selected effect is added (step 001SGS376). Next, the character and the information of "cannot be selected" stored in each entry of the selection-corresponding character history storage table are shifted to the lower entry by one (step 001SGS377), and the top entry of the selection-corresponding character history storage table ( No. 1 entry), the character corresponding to the option is additionally stored (step 001SGS378), and the selection effect execution processing is terminated. The information stored in the lowest entry of the selection-corresponding character history storage table is erased by the shift executed in step 001SGS377.

If the specified option is "cannot be selected" (step 001SGS375; Y), the character stored in each entry of the selection-corresponding character history storage table or the information of "cannot be selected" is transferred to the next lower entry. (step 001SGS379), and "cannot be selected" is additionally stored in the highest entry (entry No. 1) of the selection-corresponding character history storage table (step 001SGS380), and the selection effect execution processing is terminated. The information stored in the lowest entry of the selection-corresponding character history storage table is erased by the shift executed in step 001SGS379.

In addition, if it is not the selection effect α, that is, if the selection effect β is executed (step 001SGS373; N), the selected option is specified (step 001SGS381), and whether the specified option is "cannot be selected" is determined. It is determined whether or not (step 001SGS382).

If the specified option is other than "not selectable" (step 001SGS382; N), refer to the selection reach effect point total table (see FIG. 285 (C)), reach effect according to the selected option , points corresponding to the effect pattern of the selected effect are added (step 001SGS383). Next, the ready-to-win effect or the information "cannot be selected" stored in each entry of the selection-corresponding ready-to-win effect history storage table is shifted to an entry lower by one (step 001SGS384), and the highest level of the selection-corresponding ready-to-win effect history storage table. (No. 1 entry), the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the option is additionally stored (step 001 SGS385), and the selection effect execution processing is terminated. The information stored in the lowest entry of the selectable ready-to-win effect history storage table is erased by the shift executed in step 001SGS384.

If the specified option is "cannot be selected" (step 001SGS382; Y), the ready-to-win effect and "cannot be selected" information stored in each entry of the selectable ready-to-win effect history storage table are lowered by one. (Step 001SGS386), the highest entry (No. 1 entry) of the selectable ready-to-win effect history storage table is additionally stored with "Cannot be selected" (Step 001SGS387), and the selected effect execution process is executed. finish. The information stored in the lowest entry of the selectable ready-to-win effect history storage table is erased by the shift executed in step 001SGS386.

Also, in step 001SGS371, if the operation detection flag is not set (step 001SGS371; N), it is determined whether or not the selection effect α is executed (step 001SGS388), and if it is the selection effect α ( Step 001SGS388; Y) shifts the character stored in each entry of the selection-corresponding character history storage table and the information of "cannot be selected" to the next lower entry (step 001SGS389), and stores the selection-corresponding character history storage table. "No operation" is additionally stored in the highest entry (entry of No. 1) (step 001 SGS390), and the selection effect execution processing is terminated. The information stored in the lowest entry of the selection-corresponding character history storage table is erased by the shift executed in step 001SGS389.

In addition, if the selected effect β is executed (step 001SGS388; N), the ready-to-win effect stored in each entry of the selection-compatible ready-to-win effect history storage table and the information of "cannot be selected" are stored in the entry one level lower. (Step 001SGS391), "No operation" is additionally stored in the highest entry (No. 1 entry) of the selectable ready-to-win effect history storage table (Step 001SGS392), and the selected effect execution process is terminated. . The information stored in the lowest entry of the selectable ready-to-win effect history storage table is erased by the shift executed in step 001SGS391.

As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to execute the selection effect α or the selection effect β during the variable display of the normal state and the variable probability state, and the player operates the push button 31B in these selection effects α and the selection effect β. By doing so, one option can be selected from a plurality of options displayed on the image display device 5 .

Then, when the selection effect α is executed, different points are added according to the effect pattern of the selection effect α to the character corresponding to the option selected by the player, and the number of accumulated points is the largest. When the point difference between the character and the character with the next highest number of accumulated points exceeds 10 points, the resident character changes to the character with the highest number of accumulated points, and the reach of the super reach that is executed in the subsequent variable display. The character after the change appears in the production.

In addition, when the selection effect β is executed, different points are added according to the effect pattern of the selection effect β to the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the option selected by the player, and the accumulated points are the highest. When the point difference between the high reach effect and the next high accumulated points reach effect exceeds 10 points, the execution ratio of the high reach effect with the highest accumulated points increases as the super reach effect. there is

(Display mode)
Next, the display mode of the image in the image display device 5 in this embodiment will be described.

First, as shown in FIGS. 312 (A) to 312 (C), the game state is either normal state, time saving state, probability variable state, and there is a first special figure pending memory and a second special figure pending memory If the game player operates the push button 31B when the variable display is not being executed, the menu screen is displayed on the image display device 5. FIG.

When the menu screen is displayed, the player can switch the selection of each item of "volume adjustment", "light amount adjustment", and "gained points" by operating the stick controller 31A. is selected by operating the push button 31B, and by operating the push button 31B while "light amount adjustment" is selected, it is possible to shift to a light amount adjustment screen (not shown). ing.

On the volume adjustment screen, the player can change the volume of sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R by operating the push buttons 31B and the stick controller 31A. can change the amount of light (brightness) output from the game effect lamp 9 by operating the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A.

312(C) on the image display device 5 (pachinko game machine 1). is displayed. The player can confirm the details of the number of points given to each character and each ready-to-win effect by visually recognizing the acquired point list.

Next, an effect mode of the selection effect will be described.

First, as shown in FIGS. 313(A) to 313(D3), when it is decided to execute the selection effect α in the effect pattern A, when the variable display is started, a question is displayed on the image display device 5. "It's training! what shall i do is displayed, and then the image display device 5 displays an operation prompting image for prompting the operation of the push button 31B, along with options of "muscle training", "study", and "waterfall exercise". In the effect pattern A, when the number of executions of the selection effect α after the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine 1 is two times or less, and in at least one selection effect α out of the three most recent selection effects α If any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B, the game is started with "muscle training" set as the initial option.

In this state, every time the player operates (depresses) the push button 31B, the selected option changes in the order of "muscle training"→"study"→"waterfall exercise". If the player further operates the push button 31B in the state in which the option "waterfall" is selected, the selected option changes to "muscle training".

When the push button 31B operation acceptance period ends while the player has operated the push button 31B even once, the option selected at that time is highlighted (FIG. 314 (E1) to (See FIG. 314 (E3)), a notification image is displayed to notify which option has been selected (FIGS. 314 (F1) to 314 (F3)).

Although not shown, if the push button 31B is not selected by the player during the operation reception period of the push button 31B, the images shown in FIGS. 314(E1) to 314(F3) are displayed. The selection effect α ends without being interrupted. This is the same for the selection effects α of the effect patterns B to E and the selection effects β of the effect patterns V to Z described below.

In addition, in the selection effect α of the present embodiment, when any option is selected by the player operating the push button 31B, points are added to the character (see FIG. 3) corresponding to the selected option. It has become so.

Next, a case where variable display is executed in the variation pattern of super reach α or super reach β will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 334(A) and 334(B), when the variable display is started and the start timing of the ready-to-win effect of super ready-to-win is reached, the resident character displayed in the lower left part of the image display device 5 is displayed. is enlarged and displayed at the center of the image display device 5 . Then, if the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of super reach α, mission-based reach (reach effect A) is performed to find a treasure box in a cave (Fig. 334 (C1)), annihilation reach (reach effect B). 334 (C2) to try to subjugate 1000 monsters (small enemies), or a one-on-one battle with an enemy character as Battle Reach (Reach Effect C) (Fig. 334 (C3)). be done. In addition, if the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of super reach β, mission-based reach (reach effect A) is performed to find a treasure box in the jungle (Fig. 334 (D1)), annihilation reach (reach effect B). 334 (C2)), and fights one-on-one with an enemy character that is different from the battle reach in the variation pattern of super reach α as a battle reach (reach effect C). One of the effects (Fig. 334 (D3)) is executed.

After one of these ready-to-win effects is started, the image is displayed after the effect image corresponding to the progress of the ready-to-win effect, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, light emission from the game effect lamp 9, etc. are executed for a predetermined period. An operation prompting image is displayed in the central part of the device 5 to prompt the player to operate the push button 31B (FIGS. 335(E1) to 335(E3), FIG. 335(F)).

Then, when the variable display result of the variable display is a big hit, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the push button 31B, or when the operation reception period of the push button 31B ends. As shown in (G1) to FIG. 336 (G3), an image notifying the success of each reach effect on the image display device 5 (an image indicating that a treasure box was found in the case of the above-mentioned mission-based reach, an image indicating that a treasure box was found, or an annihilation reach an image showing that all the monsters have been subjugated, or an image showing that the enemy character has been defeated in the case of Battle Reach) is displayed. After that, the decoration symbols are derived and displayed in a combination indicating a big win, the variable display is finished, and the game is controlled to a big win game state (FIG. 336 (H1)).

On the other hand, if the variable display result of the variable display is a failure, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the push button 31B, or when the operation reception period of the push button 31B ends. As shown in 337 (G4) to FIG. 337 (G6), an image notifying failure of each reach effect on the image display device 5 (an image indicating that the treasure box could not be found in the above-mentioned mission type reach), In the case of reach, an image showing that the monster could not be defeated, and in the case of battle reach, an image showing that the character was defeated by an enemy character) is displayed. After that, the variable display in which the decorative symbols are derived and displayed in a combination indicating a failure ends.

As described above, as shown in FIG. 338(A), in this embodiment, the resident character change effect can be executed from the start of the variable display, and in the variable display of the super ready-to-win variation pattern, the variation pattern Any one of reach performance A to reach performance C (mission-based reach, annihilation reach, battle reach) is executed according to the situation.

Here, when the resident character change effect is executed from the start of the variable display, the effect control CPU 120 executes the resident character change effect execution process (see FIG. 309) to As shown in C), the game effect lamp 9 emits light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the changed character, and sounds (BGM) are output from the speakers 8L and 8R in a BGM pattern corresponding to the changed character. .

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 338(B), when the resident character is to be changed to one of character A, character B, and character C, the game effect lamp 9 is set to light emission pattern PH-1 as a resident character change effect. , and the resident character is changed to character D, the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in the light emission pattern PH-2 as a resident character change effect. That is, in this embodiment, when the resident character is changed to any one of character A, character B, and character C, the game effect lamp 9 is illuminated in a common lamp turn, and the resident character is changed to character D. , the resident character is illuminated in a lamp pattern different from that in the case of changing the resident character to any one of character A, character B, and character C described above.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 338(C), when the resident character is changed to character A, sound is output from speakers 8L and 8R in BGM pattern PI-1 as a resident character change effect, and the resident character is changed to character B. When changing to , sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R in BGM pattern PI-2 as a resident character change effect, and when changing the resident character to character C, BGM is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as a resident character change effect. When sound is output in pattern PI-3 and the resident character is changed to character D, sound is output in BGM pattern PI-4 from speakers 8L and 8R as a resident character change effect. In other words, when the resident character is changed to one of character A, character B, character C, and character D, sounds are output from the speakers 8L and 8R in different BGM patterns according to the changed character. ing.

In addition, when executing the ready-to-reach effect of super reach, the effect control CPU 120 selects a different process table according to the combination of the resident character, the variation pattern, and the ready-to-win effect in step 001 SGS332 of the variable display start setting process. The game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the character displayed as the resident character and the ready-to-win effect, and a sound ( BGM) is output.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 338(D), when one of character N, character A, character B, and character C is displayed as a resident character, the reach effect to be executed is reach effect A (mission system reach), the game effect lamp 9 emits light in the light emission pattern PA-1 as the ready-to-win effect, and if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect B (annihilation reach), the game effect lamp 9 emits light as the ready-to-win effect. Light is emitted in the pattern PB-1, and if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect C (battle ready-to-win), the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in the light emitting pattern PC-1 as the ready-to-win effect.

Further, when a character D is displayed as a resident character, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is a ready-to-win effect A (mission-type ready-to-win effect), the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in the light emission pattern PA-2 as the ready-to-win effect, If the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect B (annihilation ready-to-win), the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in the light emission pattern PB-2 as the ready-to-win effect, and if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect C (battle reach). As a ready-to-win effect, the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light with the light emission pattern PC-2.

That is, in this embodiment, the game effect lamp 9 is made to emit light in different light emission patterns according to the ready-to-win effect to be executed. The game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in the same light emission pattern for any of N, character A, character B, character C, and character D. , the game effect lamp 9 emits light in a different light emission pattern from when the character displayed as the resident character is one of character N, character A, character B, character C, and character D.

Further, as shown in FIG. 338(E), when a character N is displayed as a resident character, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is a ready-to-reach effect A (mission type reach), the ready-to-win effect will be from the speakers 8L and 8R. The sound of the BGM pattern PJ-1 is output, and if the reach effect to be executed is the reach effect B (extermination reach), the sound of the BGM pattern PK-1 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the reach effect, and the reach effect is executed. is a ready-to-win effect C (battle ready-to-win), the sound of the BGM pattern PL-1 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect.

When the character A is displayed as a resident character, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect A (mission type reach), the sound of the BGM pattern PJ-2 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect, and executed. If the ready-to-reach effect to be performed is ready-to-reach effect B (annihilation reach), the sound of BGM pattern PK-2 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect, and if the ready-to-reach effect to be executed is to reach effect C (battle reach), it corresponds to this. The sound of the BGM pattern PL-2 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as a reach effect.

When the character B is displayed as a resident character, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect A (mission type reach), the sound of the BGM pattern PJ-3 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect, and executed. If the ready-to-reach effect to be performed is ready-to-reach effect B (annihilation reach), the sound of BGM pattern PK-3 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-reach effect, and if the ready-to-reach effect to be executed is to reach effect C (battle reach), it applies. As a reach performance, the sound of the BGM pattern PL-3 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

When the character C is displayed as a resident character, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect A (mission type reach), the sound of the BGM pattern PJ-4 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect, and executed. If the ready-to-reach effect to be executed is ready-to-reach effect B (annihilation reach), the sound of BGM pattern PK-4 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect, and if the ready-to-reach effect to be executed is to reach effect C (battle reach), it corresponds to this. The sound of the BGM pattern PL-4 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as a reach performance.

When the character D is displayed as a resident character, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the ready-to-win effect A (mission type reach), the sound of the BGM pattern PJ-5 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect, and executed. If the ready-to-reach effect to be executed is ready-to-reach effect B (annihilation reach), the sound of BGM pattern PK-5 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect, and if the ready-to-reach effect to be executed is to reach effect C (battle reach), it corresponds to this. The sound of the BGM pattern PL-5 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as a reach effect.

That is, in this embodiment, different BGM pattern sounds are output from the speakers 8L and 8R as the ready-to-win effect in accordance with the combination of the displayed resident character and the ready-to-win effect to be executed.

Incidentally, the light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 shown in FIG. 338(D) is only the light emission pattern at the time of execution of the ready-to-win effect, and at the timing before the ready-to-win effect, there is a light emission pattern corresponding to each effect. For this reason, for example, when the decorative symbols are stopped in a combination of ready-to-win (state in which only the middle symbols are variably displayed), the game effect lamp 9 emits light in a color corresponding to the symbol to become ready-to-win.

From the above, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 339 and 340, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the same (in the example shown in FIGS. 339 and 340, the ready-to-win effect C is executed), the character is displayed as a resident character. If the character being played is character N, character A, character B, or character C, the game effect lamp 9 is illuminated with the same light emission pattern (in the example shown in FIGS. 339 and 340, light emission pattern PC-1). If the character displayed as the resident character is character D, the character displayed as the resident character on the game effect lamp is character N, character A, character B, or character C. Light is emitted in a different light emission pattern (light emission pattern PC-2 in the examples shown in FIGS. 339 and 340).

Also, as shown in FIGS. 339 and 340, if the ready-to-win effect to be executed is the same (in the example shown in FIGS. 339 and 340, BGM pattern PL-1 is displayed if character N is displayed as a resident character, BGM pattern PL-2 is displayed if character A is displayed as a resident character, BGM pattern PL-3 if character B is displayed as a resident character, BGM pattern PL-4 if character C is displayed as a resident character, and BGM pattern PL-5 if character D is displayed as a resident character. ) are output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

As described above, in the pachinko game machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to execute the selection effect α and the selection effect β that allow the player to select an option during the variable display, and by executing these selection effects a plurality of times Based on the tendency of the player to select an option, the player can arbitrarily change the resident character change effect of changing the resident character to another character, or by varying the execution ratio of a plurality of reach effects in the variable display of super reach. In addition, the marketability of the Pachinko game machine 1 equipped with a selectable performance capable of selecting the change destination character of these resident characters and the execution ratio of the ready-to-win performance can be enhanced.

Especially in this embodiment, based on the selection tendency in multiple selection effects, the resident character changes to any one of characters A to D, and the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect changes. It is possible to execute a production in line with latent tastes. In addition, when executing the specific effect (the resident character change effect and each ready-to-win effect in which the resident character appears) in the present invention, the game effect lamp 9 is lit in a common light emission pattern in each effect mode of the specific effect. By emitting light, it is possible to reduce the number of man-hours required for creating the light-emitting pattern program, and reduce the production cost of the pachinko game machine 1 . Furthermore, since the data volume of the light emission pattern used for the specific effect can be reduced, the operation load on the effect control CPU 120 can be reduced.

In this embodiment, when one of the options is selected by the player operating the push button 31B in each selection effect, the selected option is highlighted. It is not limited to this, and multiple highlighting patterns for the selected option (for example, a pattern for displaying a blue effect image as a highlighting pattern for highlighting the option, a pattern for displaying a green effect image, a pattern for displaying a red effect image, etc.) pattern for displaying the effect image) may be provided, and the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit (big hit expectation) may differ depending on which highlighting pattern is displayed when the option is selected. . By doing so, the player can be motivated to select an option in each selection effect, so the selection effect can be preferably executed.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the variable display of super reach, the form in which the selection effect is executed in any effect pattern does not affect the variable display result has been exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, in the variable display of super reach, the ratio of the variable display result to a big win (big win expectation) may differ depending on which performance pattern the selected effect is executed.

In this way, when the degree of expectation for a big hit differs depending on which direction pattern the selection effect is executed, the degree of expectation for a big win is higher for a direction pattern with a smaller number of points to be given (for example, the selected effect If α, the degree of expectation for a big hit may be set higher for effect pattern B with the number of assigned points of 1 than for effect pattern C with the number of assigned points of 3). By doing so, even when the selected performance is executed in the performance pattern with a low degree of expectation for a big hit, it is possible to add a value such that the number of points given is larger than that of the other performance patterns. , can improve the game interest.

Also, as shown in FIG. 338, the sound of BGM pattern PI-1 is used when the resident character is changed to character A as the resident character change effect, and the BGM pattern PI is used when the resident character is changed to character B as the resident character change effect. Sound -2, sound of BGM pattern PI-3 when changing the resident character to character C as a resident character change effect, sound of BGM pattern PI-4 when changing the resident character to character D as a resident character change effect are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and BGM that differs according to the combination of the character displayed as the resident character and the type of reach effect when the reach effect is executed (mission type reach, annihilation reach, battle reach). By outputting the pattern sounds from the speakers 8L and 8R, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize that the resident character change effect and the ready-to-win effect have a common light emission pattern.

When the resident characters are changed to the characters A to C as the resident character change effect, the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in the light emission pattern PH-1, while the resident character is changed to the character D as the resident character change effect. In this case, by causing the game effect lamp 9 to emit light in the light emission pattern PH-2, it is possible to heighten the special feeling when the resident character is changed to the character D as the resident character change effect, thereby improving the game interest. can.

In this embodiment, when the resident character is changed to the character D as the resident character change effect, the game effect lamp 9 emits light in the light emission pattern PH-2. The lighting of the game effect lamp 9 in the light emission pattern PH-2 may include the lighting of the game effect lamp 9 in a unique color corresponding to the character D, without being limited thereto.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32, in the selection effect α, as the effect pattern A, the character “muscle training” is an option corresponding to the character A, the character “study” is an option corresponding to the character B, and the character C is “study”. As the corresponding option, the characters "Takigyo" are displayed, and as the effect pattern B, the image of a swordsman and "I want to be a swordsman!" , and the options corresponding to character B are a witch image and ``I want to be a witch! , and an image of an archer and characters of "I want to be an archer" are displayed as options corresponding to character C, and an image of a sword as an option corresponding to character A and an option corresponding to character B are displayed as effect pattern C. , an image of a cane as an option for character C, an image of a gun as an option for character D, and an image of a gun as an option for character D. , the characters "strategic attack" are displayed as options corresponding to character B, the characters "remote attack" are displayed as options corresponding to character C, and a sword image is displayed as an option corresponding to character A as effect pattern E. and "Fight with a sword! ”, and the image of a cane and “Fight with magic!” as options corresponding to character B. , and an image of a bow and "Fight with a bow!" , and the option corresponding to character D is an image of a gun and 'Fight with a gun! ] are displayed respectively.

Further, as shown in FIG. 33, in the selection effect β, as the effect pattern V, characters of "treasure hunt" as an option corresponding to the ready-to-win effect A, characters of "exterminate monster" as options corresponding to the ready-to-win effect B, and a ready-to-win effect are shown. The characters "Look for a strong enemy" are displayed as options corresponding to the effect C, and the effect pattern W includes an image of a treasure chest and "I want to find a treasure!" as options corresponding to the reach effect A. , and the image of the monster and "I want to exterminate the monster!" , and the option corresponding to reach effect C is an image of a strong enemy and “I want to fight a strong enemy! are displayed, and the effect pattern X includes an image of a treasure box as an option corresponding to the reach effect A, an image of a monster as an option corresponding to the reach effect B, and an image of a formidable enemy as an option corresponding to the reach effect C. Each of them is displayed, and as the production pattern Y, the character "money" is displayed as an option corresponding to the ready-to-reach production A, the character "honor" is an option corresponding to the ready-to-reach production B, and the option corresponding to the ready-to-reach production C is "rival rival". Each character is displayed, and as the effect pattern Z, an image of a treasure box and the word "money" are options corresponding to the ready-to-reach effect A, and an image of a monster and the word "honor" are options corresponding to the ready-to-reach effect B, and a ready-to-reach effect. As an option corresponding to C, an image of a formidable enemy and characters of "good opponent" are displayed.

In other words, the selection effect of the present embodiment is different in the degree of clarity as to which character or ready-to-win effect the option is related to depending on each effect pattern, so that the player is drawn to the image of the specific option. Since it is possible to prevent the player's selection from being biased toward options corresponding to some characters and ready-to-win effects, the latent preferences of the player are reflected in the characters displayed as resident characters and the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect. It is possible to

Also, as shown in FIG. 32, as the effect pattern B of the selection effect α, the option corresponding to the character A is a swordsman image and "I want to be a swordsman!" , and the image of a witch and ``I want to be a witch! , an image of an archer and the characters "I want to be an archer" are displayed as options corresponding to character C, and an image of a sword as an option corresponding to character A as effect pattern E of selection effect α. "Fight with a sword! , and the image of a cane and "Fight with magic!" as choices corresponding to character B. , and an image of a bow and "Fight with a bow!" , and the option corresponding to character D is an image of a gun and 'Fight with a gun! ] are displayed, the effect pattern C of the selection effect α is a sword image as an option corresponding to the character A, a cane image as an option corresponding to the character B, and an option corresponding to the character C. An image of a bow and an image of a gun are displayed as options corresponding to the character D, respectively. Further, as shown in FIG. 33, as an effect pattern W of the selection effect β, an image of a treasure box and "I want to find a treasure!" , and the image of the monster and "I want to exterminate the monster!" , and the option corresponding to reach effect C is an image of a strong enemy and “I want to fight a strong enemy! ], and as effect pattern Z, an image of a treasure chest and the word "money" as options corresponding to reach effect A, and an image of a monster and the word "honor" as options corresponding to reach effect B. While an image of a formidable enemy and characters of "good opponent" are displayed as options corresponding to characters and reach effect C, an image of a treasure box and a reach effect are displayed as options corresponding to reach effect A as effect pattern X of selection effect β. An image of a monster is displayed as an option corresponding to B, and an image of a strong enemy is displayed as an option corresponding to reach effect C, respectively.

That is, in the selection effect of the present embodiment, there are provided an effect pattern in which character information and image information are displayed as options, and an effect pattern in which only image information is displayed as options. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player's selection from being biased toward a part of the options due to the player being drawn to the image of a specific option depending on whether or not the character information is displayed as the option on the image display device 5.例文帳に追加Therefore, it is possible to reflect the latent taste of the player in the change of the resident character and the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect.

In this embodiment, as the effect pattern of the selection effect, a pattern in which text information and image information are displayed as options, a pattern in which image information is displayed as options, and a pattern in which only text information is displayed as options are provided. Thus, a form in which the degree of clarity of which character or reach effect each option corresponds to is exemplified is different, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect is only to display character information as options. A plurality of patterns may be provided, and characters or sentences displayed as character information in each production pattern may be made different to make the degree of clarity of which character or reach production each option corresponds to different. A plurality of production patterns for displaying only image information are provided, and the display mode and the number of images displayed as image information are changed in each production pattern to determine which character and ready-to-win production each option corresponds to. Different degrees of clarity may be used.

Further, in this embodiment, when the point difference between the character with the highest number of points and the character with the next highest number of points becomes 10 or more, the resident character is updated to the character with the highest number of points. Then, when the point difference between the ready-to-win effect with the highest number of points and the ready-to-win effect with the next highest number of points becomes 10 or more, a ready-to-win effect decision table with a high decision ratio for the ready-to-win effect with the highest number of points is set. By doing so, the ready-to-win performance with the largest number of points can be executed, so that the change of the resident character and the execution ratio of each ready-to-win performance can be more surely carried out according to the latent taste of the player.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32, when the selection effect α is executed in the effect pattern B and any option is selected, one point is added to the character corresponding to the option. When α is executed in production pattern C and any option is selected, 3 points are added to the character corresponding to the option. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 33, when the selection effect β is executed in the effect pattern W and any option is selected, one point is added to the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the option. When the performance β is executed in the performance pattern X and any option is selected, 3 points are added to the ready-to-win performance corresponding to the option. In other words, in the selection effect, the effect pattern that does not clearly indicate the character corresponding to the option or the ready-to-win effect (the effect mode of the specific effect to be executed) is more strongly reflected in the player's selection results. Therefore, it is possible to change the resident character and the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect according to the latent taste of the player.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32, when the selection effect α is executed in the effect pattern B, the player's operation of the push button 31B is accepted for four seconds, while the selection effect α is executed in the effect pattern C. If so, the player's operation of the push button 31B is accepted for 5 seconds. Further, as shown in FIG. 33, when the selection effect β is executed in the effect pattern W, the player's operation of the push button 31B is accepted for four seconds, while the selection effect β is executed in the effect pattern X. If so, the player's operation of the push button 31B is accepted for 5 seconds. That is, in the selection effect, the longer the period in which the player can select the option is set for the effect pattern that displays more options, the player can preferably select the option in the selection effect.

In the present embodiment, an example of a mode in which the operation of the push button 31B by the player is accepted (the selection of an option by the player is accepted) is different in the production pattern of the selection production, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the period for accepting selection of options by the player may be the same in each effect pattern of the selection effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32, when the selection effect α is executed in effect pattern A or effect pattern D, the option corresponding to character A is displayed as the initial option, and the selection effect α is effect pattern B or effect pattern D. When the pattern E is executed, the option corresponding to the character B is displayed as the initial option, and when the selection effect α is executed in the effect pattern C, the option corresponding to the character C is displayed as the initial option. be. Further, as shown in FIG. 33, when the selection effect β is executed in the effect pattern V or the effect pattern Y, the option corresponding to the ready-to-win effect A is displayed as the initial option, and the selection effect β is the effect pattern W or When the effect pattern Z is executed, the option corresponding to the ready-to-win effect B is displayed as the initial option, and when the selected effect β is executed by the effect pattern X, the option corresponding to the ready-to-win effect C is displayed as the initial option. displayed as That is, in the selection effect of the present embodiment, the options displayed as the initial options are different according to the effect pattern. is not biased toward options corresponding to specific characters or ready-to-win performances, it is possible to prevent setting of resident characters and ready-to-win performance execution ratios unsuitable to the taste of the player.

Also, as shown in steps 001SGS304 and 001SGS305 in the variable display start setting process of FIG. Choices corresponding to a small number of characters are displayed as initial choices. Furthermore, as shown in steps 001SGS314 and 001SGS315 in the variable display start setting process of FIG. An option corresponding to a small reach effect is displayed as an initial option. That is, in the present embodiment, when the option is not selected by the player three times in succession in the selection effect, the option corresponding to the character with the smallest number of points or the ready-to-win effect is displayed as the initial option. To prevent a resident character from changing to a character that the player does not like when the player does not select an option, or from unexpectedly changing the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect to a ratio that the player does not like. can be prevented.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 32, there are five production patterns A to E in which options corresponding to characters A to C are displayed as the selection production α. Since there are only three performance patterns, ie, performance pattern B, performance pattern C, and performance pattern E, in which options corresponding to the character D are displayed as α, it is determined that the resident character is changed to the character D as the resident character change performance. The ratio is set lower than the ratio for determining that the resident character is changed to any one of the characters A to C as the resident character change effect, and the selection effect α is executed in any effect pattern. Also, the option corresponding to the character D is not displayed as an initial option. Therefore, when the selection effect α is executed in the effect pattern B or the effect pattern C that displays the option corresponding to the character D, it is assumed that the player did not select the option in the previous three selection effects α. Since the option corresponding to the character D is never displayed as the initial option, the special feeling for the change of the resident character to the character D can be heightened.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, in some of the effect patterns in the selection effect α and the selection effect β, options of characters "cannot be selected" are displayed. Here, if the option "cannot be selected" has not been selected in the past three selection effects α, or if the number of times it has been selected consecutively is two times or less, the While the execution of the selection effect is determined at the rate shown in C), when the option "cannot be selected" has been selected three times consecutively in the past three selection effects α, Figs. Execution of the selection effect is determined at a rate shown in (F) (a rate lower than the rates shown in FIGS. 300(A) to 300(C)). Furthermore, in the past three selection effects β, if the option "cannot be selected" has not been selected, or if the number of consecutive selections is two or less, ), while the execution of the selection effect is determined at the rate shown in FIG. 301(D) to FIG. 301( F) (a ratio lower than the ratio shown in FIGS. 301(A) to 301(C)) determines the execution of the selection effect. In other words, in the selection effect of the present embodiment, when the player selects the option of the character "cannot be selected" three times in succession, the execution ratio of subsequent selection effects decreases. It is possible to prevent a situation in which a player who does not want to change the execution ratio of each ready-to-win performance or does not want to change the execution ratio of each ready-to-win performance is kept requesting the operation of the push button 31B as a selection performance, which rather reduces the interest in the game.

In addition, in the selection effect of the present embodiment, the character option of "cannot be selected" is not displayed as an initial option in any of the effect patterns, so that the player mistakenly selects the character option of "cannot be selected". By making a selection, it is possible to prevent the execution ratio of subsequent selection effects from suddenly dropping.

Further, as shown in FIG. 300, when the game state is the variable probability state, it is possible to determine the execution of the selection effect α at a lower rate than when the game state is the normal state, and as shown in FIG. 301, When the game state is the variable probability state, it is possible to decide to execute the selection effect β at a lower rate than when the game state is the normal state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the game efficiency (the number of times variable display is executed per unit time) is reduced due to the selection effect being executed many times in the variable probability state, which in turn reduces the interest in the game. It is possible.

In the present embodiment, when the game state is the variable probability state, the selection effect can be executed at a lower rate than when the game state is the normal state, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, if the game state is a variable probability state, it may be possible to execute the selection effect at a higher rate than when the game state is a normal state, and if the game state is a variable probability state, the game It may be possible to execute the selection effect at the same rate as when the state is the normal state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32, when the selection effect α is executed when the game state is the normal state, only the resident character change effect is executed as the specific effect of the present invention. When the selection effect α is executed in the probability variable state, the change of the background image is executed in addition to the resident character change effect as the specific effect of the present invention, so that the effect in the probability change state can be improved. can.

Further, when the game state is the probability variable state, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is lower than when the game state is the normal state, while as shown in FIGS. is in the normal state, when one of the options is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in the selection effect α or the selection effect β, the character or the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the selected option is maximized. While 3 points are added, when the game state is the probability variable state, when any option is selected by the player's operation of the push button 31B in the selection effect α or the selection effect β, this Since a maximum of 5 points is added to the character and the reach performance according to the selected option, even if the execution frequency of the selection performance is reduced in the variable probability state, the degree of difficulty of the change of the resident character and the change of the execution ratio of each reach performance. does not decrease significantly, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the performance effect in the variable probability state.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 300 and 301, when the gaming state is a time-saving state, execution of the selection effect α or the selection effect β cannot be determined, while when the game state is a variable probability state, the selection effect α Since it is possible to decide to execute the selection performance β or the selection performance β, it is possible to prevent the player from being stressed by executing the selection performance α or the selection performance β in the time saving state. Furthermore, in the time saving state, the selection performance α and the selection performance β are not executed as described above, but the selection performance of the player's options in the selection performance α and the selection performance β that have been executed so far Since the display of the corresponding resident character and the execution ratio of each ready-to-win performance itself are continuously reflected, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest due to the selection performance α and the selection performance β not being executed in the time saving state.

In this embodiment, when the gaming state is the time-saving state, the selection effect is not executed. The production may be made executable. Furthermore, when the game state is the time-saving state, the selection effect may be executed at a lower rate than when the game state is the normal state or the variable probability state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the game state is the time saving state, the selection effect α and the selection effect β are not executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. In some cases, only one of the selection effect α and the selection effect β may be executable.

Also, as described above, if the gaming state is a time-saving state, it is impossible to determine the execution of the selection effect α or the selection effect β, but in the time-saving state, the normal state and the probability variable state and the effect mode are the same Reach Since the effects (ready-to-win effect A, ready-to-win effect B, and ready-to-win effect C) can be executed, it is possible to reduce the decline in game interest in the time-saving state.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the time saving state, the normal state and the variable probability state and the production mode are the same reach production (reach production A, reach production B, reach production C) are exemplified. The invention is not limited to this, and the reach production that can be executed in the time saving state includes production modes (for example, characters displayed, sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R, light emission patterns of the game effect lamp 9, movable Only a part of the action mode of the body 32, etc.) may be common to the ready-to-win effect executed in the normal state or the variable probability state.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the game state is the normal state, the time-saving state, and the variable probability state, a form that can execute reach effects (reach effect A, reach effect B, reach effect C) with the same effect mode Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and in at least one game state, a ready-to-win effect with a different effect mode from other game states may be executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 300 and 301, when the gaming state is the variable probability state, in the variable display after the 21st time after being controlled to the variable probability state, the variable display up to the 20th time after being controlled to the variable probability state It is possible to determine the execution of the selection effect α and the selection effect β at a lower rate than. Therefore, after being controlled to the variable probability state, it is possible to suppress an increase in the player's stress due to frequent execution of the selection effect α and the selection effect β in the 21st and subsequent variable displays.

In addition, in the present embodiment, an example is exemplified in which the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is changed according to the number of times of variable display after being controlled to the variable probability state, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β may be changed according to the time after being controlled to the variable probability state.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the variable display after the 21st time after being controlled to the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is reduced, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the number of times of variable display, which serves as a reference for reducing the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β, may be a number other than 21 times described above.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the variable display after the 21st time after being controlled to the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is reduced, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the execution ratio of the selection performance α and the selection performance β is further reduced when the number of times of variable display after being controlled to the variable probability state becomes the second number of times (for example, 101 times) after the 21st time. may

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the variable display after the 21st time after being controlled to the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is reduced, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β may be increased in the 21st and subsequent variable displays after being controlled to the variable probability state.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in steps 001SGS323 to step 001SGS330 of FIG. 298 and FIG. When there is a difference of 10 points or more between the performance and the performance, the ready-to-win performance to be executed is determined using a ready-to-win performance determination table different from before the multiple selection performance β is executed. Execution of the ready-to-win effect A, ready-to-win effect B, and ready-to-win effect C is determined at a rate different from before β is executed, that is, the execution rate of each ready-to-win effect is changed according to the player's preference. Therefore, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game.

Further, as shown in steps 001SGS292 and step 001SGS293 of FIG. 296, when it is decided to execute both the selection effect α and the selection effect β at the start of the variable display, it is decided to execute only the selection effect α, and the selection effect Since the non-execution of β is re-determined, the player selects one of the options in the selection effect α, thereby making it easier to display a character that matches the player's taste as a resident character, A game interest can be improved.

In this embodiment, when it is decided to execute both the selection effect α and the selection effect β at the start of the variable display, only the execution of the selection effect α is decided, and the non-execution of the selection effect β is decided again. Although the form is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and when it is decided to execute both the selection effect α and the selection effect β at the start of the variable display, only the selection effect α is executed. While it is determinable, the execution of only the selection effect β may be determined at a lower rate than the execution of only the selection effect α.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 300 and 301, it is possible to determine the execution of the selection effect α at a rate higher than that of the selection effect β. Characters can be displayed more easily, and the amusement of the game can be further improved.

In this embodiment, the execution of the selection effect α is determined at a higher rate than the selection effect β, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution and selection of the selection effect α The execution of the effect β may be determined at the same rate, or the execution of the selected effect β may be determined at a higher rate than the execution of the selected effect α.

Further, the information stored in the selected character point total table, the selection corresponding character history storage table, the selected reach effect point total table, and the selection corresponding reach effect storage table is the period during which power is supplied to the pachinko game machine 1. It is information that is held only in , and is information that is erased without being backed up when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is interrupted due to a power failure or the like. Then, as shown in FIGS. 300 and 301, from the start of the pachinko game machine 1 to the 50th variable display, execution of the selection performance α and the selection performance β is determined at a higher rate than the variable display after the 51st time. It is possible. In other words, when the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped, it is stored in the selected character point total table, the selection corresponding character history storage table, the selected reach effect point total table, and the selection corresponding reach effect storage table. Although the information is erased, after the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is resumed, the selection effect α and the selection effect β are executed at a high rate. , and the period until the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect changes to the player's favorite ratio, the game interest can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, an embodiment is illustrated in which the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is reduced in the 51st and subsequent variable displays from the start of the pachinko game machine 1, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β may be increased in the 51st and subsequent variable displays from the start of the pachinko game machine 1, or the 50th variable display from the start of the pachinko game machine 1. In the 51st and subsequent variable displays from the startup of the pachinko game machine 1, the selection effect α and the selection effect β may be executed at the same rate.

Further, in this embodiment, the information stored in the selected character point total table, the selected character history storage table, the selected reach effect point total table, and the selected reach effect storage table is stored in the pachinko game machine 1. Although the form in which the information is held only during the supply period has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selected character point total table, selection corresponding character history storage table, and selection reach effect points The information stored in the aggregation table and the selectable reach effect storage table can be held even during the period when power is not supplied to the pachinko game machine 1 (selected character point aggregation table, selectable character history storage table, selected reach (Information stored in the production point total table and the selectable ready-to-reach production storage table can be backed up).

Further, in the present embodiment, an embodiment is illustrated in which the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is reduced in the 51st and subsequent variable displays from the start of the pachinko game machine 1, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the number of times of variable display, which serves as a reference for reducing the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β, may be a number other than the 51 times described above.

Further, in the present embodiment, an embodiment is illustrated in which the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is reduced in the 51st and subsequent variable displays from the start of the pachinko game machine 1, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the execution ratio of the selection effect α and the selection effect β is changed according to the second number of times (for example, 101 times) after the 51st time of the variable display count from the start of the pachinko game machine 1. It may be lowered further.

Also, as shown in FIG. 34, when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the reach effect with the highest number of points than when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the normal state Since the game is set high, the player can visually recognize the ready-to-win performance in line with his/her preference at a higher rate in the variable probability state than in the normal state, so that the amusement of the game in the variable probability state can be improved.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect changes in the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the ready-to-win effect with the highest number of points is set higher than when the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect changes in the normal state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the variable probability state, when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the normal state The execution ratio of the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points may be set low.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the variable probability state, the execution ratio of the reach effect with the largest number of points is set higher than when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the normal state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the variable probability state and when the execution ratio of each reach effect changes in the normal state Then, the execution ratio of the ready-to-win effect with the largest number of points may be set to be the same.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 301, in the variable probability state, it is possible to determine the execution of the selection effect β at a lower rate than in the normal state, but as shown in FIG. When the production β is executed, a maximum of 5 points are given to the reach production according to the selected option, while when the selection production β is executed in the normal state, the reach according to the selected option A maximum of 3 points are given to the production. Therefore, even if the execution frequency of the selection performance β in the variable probability state is reduced, the difficulty of changing the execution ratio of each ready-to-win performance to the execution ratio according to the player's preference is not remarkably reduced. It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the production effect in.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. be

For example, in the above-described embodiment, by executing a resident character change effect as the specific effect of the present invention, one of characters A to D is newly displayed as a resident character. As a non-limiting example, characters A to D newly displayed as resident characters may at least partially have a common or similar color. Furthermore, in this case, when one of characters A to D is newly displayed as a resident character, the game effect lamp 9 may be caused to emit light in a light emission color corresponding to the character including the common or similar color. good. By doing so, even if the game effect lamp 9 is caused to emit light in a common light emission pattern when one of the characters A to D is newly displayed as a resident character, the player will not feel uncomfortable. , the resident character change effect can be preferably executed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the selection effect β is executed a plurality of times, and the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect is changed according to the selection results in these selection effects β, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, the menu screen (see FIG. 312) in the above embodiment may be provided with items relating to the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect, and the player may select the item by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. , the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect may be changed by the player.

In this way, when the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B to change the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect other than the selection effect β, the player selects an option in the selection effect β. Even if the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect changes as a result, if the player has already changed the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B other than the selected effect β, the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect is changed. Execution of each ready-to-win effect may be determined by the execution ratio changed by the player operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B other than the selected effect β. By doing so, the ratio is not changed unintentionally by the player's operation of the push button 31B in the selection effect β, but by the player's operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B other than the selection effect β. By executing each ready-to-win effect at an intentionally changed ratio, the game can be progressed without confusing the player.

Furthermore, as described above, when the player changes the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B other than the selection effect β, the display of the specific image on the image display device 5, the speaker It may be possible to inform the player that the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect has been changed by outputting a specific sound from 8L and 8R, emitting light in a specific pattern of the game effect lamp 9, or the like. By doing so, when the player changes the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B other than the selected effect β, the specific image is displayed on the image display device 5 and the speaker is displayed. By outputting specific sounds from 8L and 8R and emitting light in a specific pattern from the game effect lamp 9, the player can easily recognize that the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect has been changed.

Furthermore, in this case, even if the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect changes due to the player's selection of an option in the selection effect β, the display of the specific image on the image display device 5 and the specific sound from the speakers 8L and 8R , and light emission in a specific pattern of the game effect lamp 9, etc., so as not to inform the player that the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect has been changed, so that the latent taste of the player can be better understood by each ready-to-win effect. It may be possible to change the execution ratio of

Further, in the selection effect of the above embodiment, the player can select only one option, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be possible. In addition, when the selection effect is such that the player can select a plurality of options, the number of points to be given may be changed according to the selection order of each option.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the player selects one option in the selection effect, points are given only to one character or reach effect corresponding to the option, but the present invention is reduced to this. Instead, points may be given to a plurality of characters or ready-to-win effects by the player selecting one option in the selection effect.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 285, in the selection corresponding character history storage table and the selection corresponding ready-to-reach effect history storage table, information of characters and ready-to-win effects corresponding to options selected in the past three selection effects is stored. , but the present invention is not limited to this. If there is a lack of information stored in the game, the information stored in the selection-compatible character history storage table and the selection-compatible ready-to-win effect history storage table may be temporarily cleared. The timing for determining that abnormal information is stored in the selection-compatible character history storage table or the selection-compatible ready-to-win effect history storage table or that there is a lack of stored information is determined by the variable display start setting process. The timing of referring to the information stored in the selection-corresponding character history storage table and the selection-corresponding ready-to-win effect history storage table is desirable.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the selection effect α is executed a plurality of times and it is decided to change the resident character, the resident character change effect is executed at the start of the next variable display so that the resident character has the highest number of points. Although the mode of changing to a character has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the selection effect α is executed a plurality of times and it is decided to change the resident character, the change of the resident character is decided. The resident character change effect may be executed from the timing (the timing in the middle of the variable display immediately after the execution of the selection effect α) to change the resident character to the character with the largest number of points.

In this way, when the resident character is changed to the character with the largest number of points from the timing in the middle of the variable display immediately after the execution of the selection effect α, for example, the variable display executed in the variable display start setting process A variation pattern is specified, and when the specified variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern, that is, a variable display for executing a reach performance in which a resident character appears, the player selects an option in the next selection performance α. If there is a possibility that the resident character will change depending on If the point difference between the character with the highest number of points and the character with the next highest number of points is 5 or less, execution of the selection effect α in the variable display may not be determined.

Furthermore, as described above, in the case of changing the resident character to the character with the largest number of points from the timing in the middle of the variable display immediately after the execution of the selection effect α, for example, the variable A display variation pattern is specified, and if the specified variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern, that is, a variable display that executes a reach performance in which a resident character appears, the selection performance α itself is made executable, and the resident character is executed. A change in may be performed in the following variable displays: By doing so, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a sense of incongruity due to the difference between the character displayed as the resident character and the character appearing in the ready-to-win effect.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a mode was illustrated in which the resident character can be changed as a result of executing the selection effect α a plurality of times, but the present invention is not limited to this. The resident character may be changeable as a result of executing only once. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, as a result of executing the selection effect β a plurality of times, the execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect can be changed. The execution ratio of each ready-to-win effect may be changed as a result of executing the effect β only once.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the selection effect is executed when the game state is the normal state, the selection of options by the player is more likely than when the selection effect is executed when the game state is the variable probability state. Although the form in which the maximum number of points given to each character and ready-to-win effect is small is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection effect is executed when the game state is the normal state. In this case, the maximum number of points given to each character and ready-to-win effect may be larger than when the selection effect is executed when the game state is the variable probability state, according to the player's selection of options. .

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the selection effect is executed when the game state is the normal state, the selection of options by the player is more likely than when the selection effect is executed when the game state is the variable probability state. Although the form in which the maximum number of points given to each character and ready-to-win effect is small is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection effect is executed when the game state is the normal state. The maximum number of points given to each character and ready-to-win effect according to the selection of options by the player is the same in the case where the game state is in the variable probability state and the case where the selection effect is executed. good too.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the normal state, the time saving state, and the probability variable state are provided as the game state, and the form in which the present invention is applied to the pachinko game machine 1 that can be controlled to the time saving state or the probability variable state at the end of the jackpot game is illustrated. , The present invention is not limited to this, it is part of the case where the variable display result is lost in the low probability state, and the time saving state is based on the variable display result being displayed with a specific result Based on the fact that variable display is executed a predetermined number of times without being controlled to an advantageous state in a low-probability state after the end of an advantageous state or after clearing the RAM (cold start of the pachinko game machine 1). The present invention may be applied to a pachinko game machine that can be controlled in a time-saving state. Here, the time saving state controlled after the jackpot game is the time saving state A, and the predetermined number of times without being controlled to the advantageous state in the low probability state after the end of the advantageous state or after the RAM is cleared (cold start of the pachinko game machine 1). The time saving state controlled based on the execution of the variable display is the time saving state B, part of the case where the variable display result is lost in the low probability state, and the variable display result is displayed as a specific result. Let the time-saving state controlled based on this be time-saving state C. In the time-saving state B and the time-saving state C, similarly to the time-saving state A, the selection performance α and the selection performance β are not executed, while the resident character that has changed as a result of the selection performance α executed in the normal state or the variable probability state is displayed. Alternatively, each ready-to-win effect may be executed at a rate changed as a result of the selection effect β executed in the normal state or the variable probability state.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine that can be controlled in the time-saving state C, a plurality of types of variable display results are provided for winning the time-saving state C, and depending on the type of variable display result when winning the time-saving state C You may vary the variable display frequency|count by which time saving control is performed.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine that can be controlled in the time saving state A, the time saving state B, and the time saving state C, the variable display times that can execute the time saving control may be different in each time saving state. In particular, when the number of variable display times for which the time saving control can be executed is larger in the time saving state B than in the time saving state A, the selection performance may not be executed in the time saving state A, but the selection performance may be executed in the time saving state B.例文帳に追加Alternatively, even if the number of variable display times in which the time saving control can be executed is larger in the time saving state B than in the time saving state A, when the time saving state B is not controlled in an advantageous state over a predetermined number of variable displays. Since it is a state controlled by , there is a possibility that the interest of the player has already decreased, so it is configured so that the variable display is easily executed in a variation pattern with a short special figure variation time, and the selection effect is performed. You can choose not to run it. Furthermore, in the time-saving state B, even when controlling to an advantageous state, it is desirable not to execute an effect with a long effect period, so the player's drinking is not reflected (points given, resident characters displayed, etc. Regardless), it is desirable to control in an advantageous state by performing a variable display in a short special figure fluctuation time fluctuation pattern.

In addition, since the time saving state C is a state in which the consumption of game media can be suppressed in the low probability state and the game can be played, the time saving state C is regarded as an extension of the normal state, and the selection effect can be executed in the time saving state C. good too.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the points given to the character corresponding to the option selected by the player in the selection performance α and the selection performance β and to the ready-to-win performance can be totaled and stored. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these accumulated points are not cleared until the supply of It may also be cleared by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, not playing the game for a predetermined time, changing the player, or the like.

As described above, when the menu screen is displayed, the points accumulated by the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B by the player, the fact that the game has not been played for a predetermined time, the change of the player, etc. When cleared, the resident character may be updated to the initial character (character N) based on the clearing.

When the game is not played for a predetermined time, instead of immediately clearing the memory of the totaled points, an image is displayed asking whether the totaled points may be cleared on the image display device 5. Then, the memory of the accumulated points may be cleared based on the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B during the display of the image.

Furthermore, as described above, the points accumulated by the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B by the player while the menu screen is displayed, the fact that the game has not been played for a predetermined time, the change of the player, etc. is cleared, based on the clearing, the execution ratio of the selected effect is increased over a predetermined period (for example, variable display of 50 times) than outside the predetermined period, or a predetermined period (for example, 50 By increasing the number of points given by the selection effect over a period of time (variable display of times) than outside the predetermined period, the period until the resident character changes to the character preferred by the player and the reach effect that the player likes. You may make it shorten the period until it is performed in a ratio.

Further, in the above embodiment, the variation pattern of normal reach is a variation pattern that is easier to select than the variation pattern of super reach (execution ratio: normal reach>super reach), and in both the variable display of normal reach and the variable display of super reach However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be so arranged that the options are not displayed (in the normal reach variable display, the selection effect α can be executed only in the effect pattern A). By doing so, the player can continue to select the option corresponding to the character D in the selection effect α, thereby enhancing the player's sense of accomplishment for displaying the character D as the resident character.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, from when the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine 1 until the 50th variable display is executed, the selection effect is executed at a higher rate than the variable display after the 51st time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and until a certain number of points (for example, 5 points) are given to a specific character or reach effect after the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine 1 , the selection performance may be executed at a higher rate than after the fixed number of points are awarded.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a spherical game ball (pachinko ball) is used as an example of the game medium, but the game medium is not limited to a spherical game medium. It may be a medium.

Further, in the above embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is used as an example of a gaming machine. In addition, one game is completed by deriving a variable display result to a variable display device capable of variable display of a plurality of types of individually identifiable symbols, and according to the variable display result derived to the variable display device. It can also be applied to slot machines in which prizes can be generated.

The gaming machine of the present invention can also be applied to enclosed gaming machines, slot machines, etc., in which game media are enclosed and points are awarded based on the occurrence of winnings. Also, the gaming machine capable of playing a game is at least one that performs a game, and is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine, and may be a general gaming machine.
